In this epic throwback episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with entrepreneur and truth-speaker Lennie Moreno for a raw, expansive conversation about awakening, sovereignty, and the cost of integrity in a world built on convenience and control. Lennie shares his journey from building and exiting a multi-million-dollar tech company to walking away from alignment-breaking systems, even when it meant losing friends, investors, and financial certainty. Together, they explore the tension between external corruption and internal responsibility, why true freedom is an inside job, and how surrender, frequency, and values shape the reality we live in. Lennie is the founder of Place of Elms, a luxury fashion brand built on consciousness, ethics, and integrity, challenging an industry he believes has lost its soul. This episode dives deep into money, power, fear, death, business, and the courage required to live in alignment — even when it costs you everything. This conversation will challenge how you see success, freedom, and what it truly means to win.
