Hello Reader, I hope you’re enjoying a long holiday weekend. Is the summer giving you time for the nagging feeling of, is this it? Or are you finding it hard to unplug — without guilt or worry? The traditional playbook of success doesn’t account for fulfillment, existential angst, creative inspiration and – most importantly – feeling a deep sense of aliveness. It doesn’t solve for a life well-lived. If you're ready to rewrite your success playbook, we’ve created a unique coaching experience where you’ll explore deep, introspective and provocative questions with me and 5 other Post-Achievement Professionals.
🎧 In this week's podcast, we ask: What do we get wrong about happiness? The surprising stress of "Time Freedom"I used to be a very busy boy. Jacked up on Dunkin' Donuts Hazelnut coffee and a mini-fridge full of Diet Coke, I would plow through jam-packed days. I dug up an old calendar. 5:30 am wake up. Double breakfast. A hard Crossfit workout on 6 hours of sleep. Meetings galore. And usually a work-related dinner. Rinse. Lather. And repeat. I'm exhausted just looking at that schedule.

Hi Reader, Happy Labor Day weekend! If you're at the US Open, I hope you're enjoying those Honey Deuces (which btw generate $10mm in sales). A friend with a great finance job recently told me: “I’m the type of tired that a vacation doesn’t fix.” He'd gotten to the point in his career where he had a reasonable boss, a team that delivered and could sleep 7 hours a night.
