What if your lowest moment could become the foundation for your greatest comeback? 

In this powerful and deeply inspiring episode, Tyler Osborne sits down with Richard Kaufman, a 23-year US Army veteran, resilience expert, and host of the top-ranked Vertical Momentum Podcast, to break down what it truly takes to go from rock bottom to a purpose-driven life. From battling addiction, PTSD, blindness, and multiple suicide attempts to becoming a bestselling author and “hope dealer,” Richard’s story is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and refusing to quit.

Together, they unpack the mindset shifts, discipline, and faith required to rebuild your life when everything feels lost. You’ll learn why success leaves clues, how mentorship accelerates growth, why most people fail because they quit too soon, and how to create “vertical momentum” in your business, leadership, and personal life. This episode also dives into burnout, the importance of taking breaks, and how to stay consistent without losing yourself in the process.

But it doesn’t stop there. Richard is giving back in a powerful way. If you’re struggling in business, podcasting, life, or even battling addiction, he’s offering one full hour of his time completely free, no upsell, no catch. Just real help from someone who’s been there. He’s also offering a free copy of his book to listeners who reach out.

You can connect with Richard directly by searching “Vertical Momentum Podcast” on any major platform or reaching out to him on social media—when you message him, it’s him personally responding.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like your past is holding you back, this conversation will challenge you to rethink everything—because your past does not define you… your decision today does.
