Why More Success Won’t Fix the Emptiness High Performing Leaders Don’t Talk About

Dusty sits down with Sean Keller—a filmmaker-turned-leadership coach who helps high-capacity entrepreneurs realize that their real wilderness isn’t around them, it’s within them. Sean shares his unlikely journey from early creative acclaim and big-name clients to the moment everything collapsed in 2020, forcing him to confront the gap between the successful life he was building and the surrendered life he actually wanted. Together, they unpack why achievement can mask emptiness, how pruning becomes a gift, and why leaders can’t outrun the inner stories that shape their decisions. With depth, candor, and a surprising amount of hope, Sean reveals how his own wilderness season reshaped his faith, his identity, and his calling—and how he now walks alongside leaders to help them slow down, listen for God’s voice, and build lives defined not by striving, but by alignment, clarity, and purpose. Key Takeaways: • Pruning is essential for growth—letting go of good things is often required to make room for the right things. • Surrender is not weakness—it’s how leaders move from striving to purposeful, grounded living. • Growth requires discomfort; leaders who avoid tension miss their greatest opportunities for transformation.
