Dreamcatchers Hosted by Jerome Myers

Jerome Myers - Advisor to exiting founders

What comes after the ultimate success?  You look around the room.   It’s filled with other super successful founders and C-Suite execs raising their glasses to celebrate the sale of your business.   But you feel empty.  Why?  Isn’t this what success is supposed to look like? Isn’t this what success does look like?  Turns out, the answer’s more complicated than you thought.  Because the success you and everyone else in the room have been chasing is an illusion.  We call it The Matrix.   It’s the success we’ve all been told is the ultimate goal.  And you’ve achieved it — only to discover that there’s nothing on the other side. At least nothing you recognize.   You don’t have answers to the big questions you’ve been too hyperfocused to ask: Is this it? Was it all worth it? Now what?  It seems like you’re alone. You’re not.   The Founders Exit Paradox is plaguing the society of Newly Exited Operators (NEOs). You’re used to achieving the highest level of success.  You’re not used to feeling vulnerable, uncertain, or confused about your purpose.  And you’re certainly not used to talking about self-doubt. At least not out loud.  Your post-success journey starts here. As someone who chased after the same illusion you did, we know how hard — and how humbling — it is to reach out for guidance. But we don’t want you to feel as empty and lost as we did while we made the journey from success to fulfillment.  When you’re ready to take the Red Pill, you should know you have a trusted guide. Someone who can relate to what you’re going through and talk in a language you understand. Join Jerome Myers as we explore the Founders Exit Paradox of our guests!
