The Fire That Almost Destroyed Me | Founder Burnout (Raw & Unfiltered)

What happens when the fire you started to build your dream starts burning you alive? I wrote my resignation letter three times. Not from a job, from my own company. This is the episode I should've recorded a long time ago.

No guest. No playbook. Just me and the mic talking about the thing nobody warns you about when you decide to build something from nothing.

In this episode:

00:00 — Cold Open

02:00 — The myth we were sold (and why it's dangerous)

10:00 — The descent: withdrawal, cynicism, your body screaming, losing yourself

22:00 — The bottom (one specific night on a kitchen floor)

30:00 — The climb back: what actually helped

40:00 — What I'd say to you right now

44:00 — Close

If you're a founder and something in this episode hits a nerve, don't share it. Send it to a founder you're worried about. You know who they are.

Take care of yourself. I mean that.
