Everyone wants success. Everyone wants more money, more freedom, more power. But what if I told you that most people who ‘make it’ end up miserable?
In this brutally honest episode, I reveal the real cost of success and why the last 12 months have been the worst of my life. I’ve spent over half a million in legal fees, lost friends I thought I could trust, barely slept, and for the first time, questioned everything I’d built.
This is the wake-up call I wish I had earlier—because most people optimise for the wrong things without realising the trade-offs until it’s too late.
