How Emotional Intelligence Unlocks True Success

Why Success Alone Isn’t Enough:

Many of us grow up believing that success is the finish line. Build the career. Earn the recognition. Check the boxes. But what happens when you reach those milestones—and still feel disconnected, restless, or empty?

In Episode 108 of The Lost & Found Podcast, I sat down with physicist, entrepreneur, and author Randy Lyman to explore a truth many high-achievers quietly wrestle with: success without emotional awareness doesn’t lead to fulfillment.

Randy’s journey bridges science, emotional intelligence, and personal growth—revealing how unprocessed emotions shape our reality and why healing them is essential for living with purpose. He is the author of The Third Element: The Missing Key to Activating the Law of Attraction which reveals the missing piece in manifestation that most people miss—your emotions.

Emotional Intelligence: The Missing Link Between Achievement and Fulfillment

Randy Lyman built multiple multimillion-dollar companies, earned patents, and led high-performing teams. From the outside, his life looked like a blueprint for success. Internally, however, something was missing.

Through decades of self-reflection and study, Randy discovered that emotional intelligence—not strategy or hustle—was the missing piece.

Unprocessed emotional trauma doesn’t disappear. Instead, it shows up as:

Repeating relationship patterns
Chronic stress or burnout
Leadership challenges
A lingering sense of dissatisfaction, even when life looks “successful”

True fulfillment begins when we learn to feel, process, and integrate our emotions, rather than suppressing them.

The Science of Emotions and Reality

What makes Randy’s work unique is his background in physics. He explains emotions through the concept of resonance—the idea that energy with similar frequencies attracts similar outcomes.

In simple terms:

Emotions carry energy
Suppressed emotional pain seeks resolution
That unresolved energy influences the people, situations, and challenges we experience

You don’t need to fully understand the original source of an emotional wound to heal it. According to Randy, you only need to be willing to feel what’s arising in the present moment.

This perspective brings emotional healing out of the “woo-woo” category and grounds it in logic, awareness, and lived experience.

Why Healing Is Messy (and Why That’s Okay)

One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode is Randy’s reminder that you don’t need to live perfectly to be happy. Healing is not linear, growth is not tidy, and perfectionism often keeps us stuck. Letting go of the need to do everything right creates space for real transformation.

Practices like journaling, breathwork, and emotional reflection aren’t about fixing yourself—they’re about reconnecting with who you already are.

When you allow yourself to be human, imperfect, and emotionally honest, you begin to experience:

Less stress and self-judgment
Clearer decision-making
Deeper relationships
A stronger sense of purpose

Leadership, Relationships, and Emotional Awareness

Randy also explores how emotional intelligence directly impacts leadership and relationships. In business and life:

People don’t respond to control—they respond to presence
Authentic leadership requires emotional clarity
Trust is built through listening, not perfection

He emphasizes that the people closest to us often act as mirrors, revealing unresolved emotions we’re being invited to heal. While uncomfortable at times, this awareness can transform both personal and professional relationships.

Letting Go to Move Forward

Another central theme of the episode is letting go—of toxic relationships, outdated identities, and rigid definitions of success. Growth often requires releasing what no longer aligns, even when it’s familiar or comfortable. Letting go isn’t failure; it’s an act of self-respect and trust.

For anyone feeling lost or stuck, Randy’s advice is simple but powerful:

Seek mentors who embody calm and peace
Ask questions instead of chasing perfection
Trust your intuition more than external validation

Together, we explore:

How unhealed emotions silently shape our success
The science of resonance and how energy connects to emotional healing
Why perfectionism and control keep us from evolving
How to lead and live with authenticity, empathy, and truth
The seven-layer questioning method to uncover your emotional blocks

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or someone searching for meaning, this episode bridges science and spirituality to help you reconnect with yourself and redefine what “being found” truly means.
