Second Story

IS THIS IT? | Are All Millennials Starting to Question the Lives They've Built?

Josh Cybulski & Corey Leckie — Fri, 06 Nov 2026 15:44:45 GMT

At some point, you hit a wall.

You look around at your life and realize you've spent the last 15 or 20 years doing exactly what you were supposed to do. You got the job. You built the career. You took on the responsibilities. You started a family. You paid the bills. You played the game.

And somewhere along the way, you started wondering:

IS THIS IT?

Because nobody really prepares you for this part.

Nobody tells you that you might spend your entire 20s chasing a version of success that doesn't actually make you happy. That you could spend your 30s buried in responsibilities, working yourself into the ground, and wondering where the hell the time went.

And that by the time you reach your 40s, you might look around and realize you're not necessarily living the life you imagined. You're just maintaining the one you've built.

A Society In Decay | The Red Baron Story Shows Us Why People Don't Want To Work Hard Anymore

Josh Cybulski & Corey Leckie — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 01:15:00 GMT

Something is broken in our society.
We are living in a culture where people can spend decades building a career, developing a skill, showing up every day, and working their asses off just to make ends meet only to have some clown walk into a grocery store and humiliate them for internet content....and likely make more money from that interaction than the employee makes in a month.
And we're supposed to celebrate that?
In this episode of Second Story, Josh talks about the growing trend of pranking hard-working people, the resentment towards hard work, the changing definition of success, and what happens when a society starts rewarding all the wrong things.
Josh also talks about men. Particularly the growing number of men who feel disconnected, undervalued and increasingly uncertain about what they're supposed to work toward. For generations, men were told that if they worked hard, developed skills, provided for their families and played by the rules, things would eventually work out.
But what happens when hurting others pays more than working hard? Well, we might find out soon as the cost of living keeps climbing, traditional career paths offer less security, and the people getting rewarded online aren't necessarily building anything meaningful.
Is it any wonder that some people are questioning the value of working harder?

Are we witnessing a society in decay? Or are we just finally seeing the consequences of a culture that has lost its respect for hard work, responsibility and ordinary people?

Let's talk about it.

We Did Everything Right. So Why Are We So Tired? | The Great Millennial Reckoning

Josh Cybulski & Corey Leckie — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 02:40:28 GMT

We followed the rules. We went to school, built careers, chased stability, and tried to create the lives we were told would make us happy.

So why does it feel like so many of us are exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering, is this it?

In this episode of Second Story, we're talking about the millennial reckoning — the strange realization that the life we spent years building might not be the life we actually want.

From career burnout and financial pressure to parenting, mental health, social media, and the expectations we inherited, we're unpacking what happens when the traditional definition of success stops making sense.

We're also talking about the pressure to be everything to everyone, the identities we build around our careers and responsibilities, and what it means to start questioning those identities in our late 30s and 40s.

Maybe it's not a midlife crisis. Maybe it's a midlife unmasking.

Because you can be grateful for what you have and still want something different. You can be a responsible adult and still question the path you're on. And you can start building a new chapter without pretending the first one never happened.

This isn't about blowing up your life or chasing some Instagram version of freedom. It's about getting honest with yourself, figuring out what actually matters, and deciding what you want the next chapter to look like.

In this episode, we explore:

Why so many millennials feel exhausted despite doing everything they were told to do

The disconnect between the life we were promised and the reality we're living

Career burnout and the fear of starting over

Raising children while trying to break generational cycles

Social media, comparison, and the endless pursuit of success

The pressure to be productive, successful, and emotionally healthy all at once

The great millennial unmasking — questioning who we've become and why

How to start building a life that actually feels like your own

The question is simple: Are you happy with the life you've built, or are you just really good at maintaining it?

Let us know in the comments. We'd love to hear where you're at.

Everything In Your Life Is A Budget (And You're Probably Overspending)

Josh Cybulski & Corey Leckie — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Most people walk around believing that they need more.

More money.
More time.
More food.
More energy.
More motivation.

But what if that's not the problem?

Every one of us operates with limited resources. The problem often isn't how much you have—it's how you're allocating it.
Your money needs a budget.
Your time needs a budget.
Your calories need a budget.
Your energy needs a budget.

And if your priorities don't align with where those resources are going, you'll always feel stuck, no matter how hard you work.

In this episode of Second Story, we explore why the principles behind financial budgeting may be the key to building a healthier body, a stronger mind, better relationships, and a more intentional life.
The future you want isn't built through massive breakthroughs.
It's built through thousands of small decisions about where you spend your most valuable resources.

What Happens When You Can't Outwork Your Mind | Examining ADHD, Anxiety & More

Josh Cybulski & Corey Leckie — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

In this deeply personal episode of Second Story, Josh opens up about one of the most challenging years of his life. After being diagnosed with ADHD, while also dealing with mental health struggles, chronic pain, and the prospect of double hip surgery—he reflects on what it feels like to finally put names to struggles he's carried for decades.

The conversation explores the grief and relief that come with a late diagnosis. Josh shares how people-pleasing, overworking, perfectionism, and the constant need to earn approval weren't personality traits at all—they were survival mechanisms. Through therapy and self-reflection, he's beginning to understand how childhood experiences, trauma, and undiagnosed ADHD shaped the person he became and why happiness often felt just out of reach, even during life's best moments.

This episode is an honest look at mental health, masculinity, burnout, and the pressure many adults feel to have everything figured out. It's a conversation for anyone who feels stuck in survival mode, wonders why life feels harder than it should, or is learning that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about finally understanding who you've been all along.

How to Escape Corporate Life and Build Your Dream Business

Josh Cybulski & Corey Leckie — Sat, 02 May 2026 04:01:00 GMT

In this episode, Chris shares his journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, discussing the emotional challenges, strategic steps, and mindset shifts involved in making a successful transition.
Chris was making $200K a year in his corporate job just four months ago when he was laid off in January 2026. He did what most people do and panicked, wondering how he would support his family without a stable paycheck. Chris stepped back, took time to reset, and quickly pivoted to a work outside the system in which he controls his time, his moves, and what his future looks like.
You are going to get a lot from Chris as he offers practical advice on overcoming fear, leveraging social media, and building sustainable income streams outside of corporate employment.

This is Chris' Second Story...

Don’t Waste Your 20s The Way We Did | Here's 22 Lessons We Learned The Hard Way (Part 1)

Josh Cybulski & Corey Leckie — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 22:53:36 GMT

What if you could go back and do your 20s over again?
In this episode of Second Story, Corey and Josh break down 22 things they would do differently if they had another shot at their 20s.
From chasing the wrong things… to avoiding risks… to not understanding discipline, relationships, and purpose—this is the kind of advice most people only learn after it’s too late.
The truth?
A lot of people don’t realize they’re wasting their 20s until they’re already in their 30s or 40s—stuck, burned out, or full of regret.
This episode is about changing that.
Whether you're in your 20s right now or trying to rebuild your life later, these lessons will help you:

Make smarter decisions earlier
Avoid years of wasted time
Build real discipline and direction
Stop drifting and start designing your life

👇 Be honest:
What’s one thing you wish you started earlier?

You’re Still Living Your First Life (And Don’t Know It)

Josh Cybulski & Corey Leckie — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Most people don’t realize they have a second life… until they’ve already lived through their first one.
In this episode of Second Story, Josh talks about something most of us never question early enough—the life we’re living.
The path.
The plan.
The version of success we were handed.
For a long time, Josh thought he was doing everything right; he had the perfect family, the beautiful home, and the job he was good at.
He was following the script. Building something stable. Moving forward.
But at some point, he had to stop and ask a harder question:
Was this actually his life? The career he wanted?… Or just the one he fell into?

This isn’t about quitting your job or flipping your life overnight.
It’s about awareness.
Ownership.
And choosing a direction that actually feels like yours.
Because the truth is:
You don’t get a second life when you succeed…
You get it when you finally question the first one.

You Can’t Outperform Your Self-Image | Justin Prince

In this episode of Second Story, Josh and Corey sit down with entrepreneur, speaker, and author Justin Prince, a man who went from working construction and flipping burgers to becoming one of the most recognized voices in personal development.
