The Rise Up Kings Podcast with Skylar Lewis Chasing Success is Destroying You - Microsoft Exec Explains The Real Reason
Why do men chase success yet still feel empty? A Microsoft Exec shares why achievement, money, and status never feel like enough — and how surrendering ambition to God transforms fulfillment, identity, and purpose.
Microsoft Executive Chad Kammarad went from a trailer park to one of the highest levels inside Microsoft. He reached the top — the cars, the house, the title, the status — yet the night he achieved everything he had ever wanted was the most challenging night of his life.
In this powerful conversation, Chad and Skylar break down:
- The emptiness behind high achievement
- Why men keep chasing “more” and never feel fulfilled
- The danger of ego, pride, and performance identity
- How comfort weakens men spiritually and emotionally
- The shift from self-driven ambition to Kingdom-driven purpose
Why Christian men must surrender control and stop living as “CEO Christians.”
How God uses discomfort, pain, and disruption to move us into calling
If you’re a man who’s driven, ambitious, successful yet still sensing something is missing this episode speaks directly to you.
