   #5 - Executive Health Results, Goal Setting, 2yrs Post Exit Lessons

   In this episode, we dive into three big topics. Executive Health Results Longevity is the talk of the town. From Peter Attia, to Huberman, and Bryan Johnson, it seems everyone (at least in the tech world) wants to optimize their health. Ryan recently signed up for a concierge doctor. We’ll dive into how much it costs, the process, and his results. Goal Setting I used Jesse Itzler’s Big A## Calendar (https://jesseitzler.com/products/calendar-2024) for goal setting this year. It was the first year I’ve set goals. Taking after Jason Fried’s thought process (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/27/why-basecamp-ceo-jason-fried-says-goal-setting-doesnt-work.html) when I ran my business, I felt goals added unnecessary stress and missed short-term opportunities. But this year, I felt different. I wanted more structure in my personal life and a plan for 2024. Ryan went about this year’s planning in a unique way too. He did a deep dive with his wife into what they wanted together using Justin Donald’s Marriage and Family Planning Workbook (https://lifestyleinvestor.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Marriage-Family-Planning-Day.pdf). 2yrs Post Exit Lessons I wrote a longer list (https://www.aftertheexitpod.com/p/26-lessons-learned-2yrs-after-selling) of what I’ve learned in the past 2yrs after selling my business. If you start another business, does it have to go bigger? Or is that a trap? Ryan and I chat about this along with our biggest learnings. Hope you enjoy the episode! This is a public episode.

   #4 - Can You Have Fulfillment After a Windfall?

   No more Zooms, 1-on-1 meetings, and monthly catchup calls. The feeling of being “the founder” is gone, and the identity you created in your industry has worn off. You’ve sold your business and are left with your thoughts and a boatload of money. No one will feel sorry for you, so don’t even try asking them “What should I spend time on?” or “I don’t feel fulfilled; what do I do?”. You could ask a high-net-worth community (https://www.aftertheexitpod.com/p/4-best-communities-for-high-net-worth) as a start. Or you could listen to this episode of the After The Exit Pod! We dive into the different stages of finding fulfillment again. Stage 1 - Wtf does this money mean? You just made a LOT of money. Even if it’s just $1m, consider how many years of saving a normal job post-tax income you’d need to get $1m. Whatever the windfall amount, congratulations! What does this mean for you? What’s the life you’re supposed to live? What should you buy? Should I be an investor now? Lots of questions will crop up. Pause, breathe. Just know you can let your mind settle for a year, and you’ll be fine. No rush. Step 2 - Research I started to talk to anyone I could who sold a business. I’d interview them like a 60-minute episode. What I found, though, is everyone invests differently. Everyone spends differently. And because of this, it’s difficult to use others as a model. You can take bits and pieces from each story. But for the most part, look for foundations. Are you in wealth preservation or growth mode? Do you need more money? Those are foundations to build on. Less so, exact portfolio allocations or relocation plans for lower income taxes. Stage 3 - Discovery What drives you now? I’d say I’m in this stage. This has been more difficult as, by default, you may knee-jerk back into wanting to run a big business. I’d challenge you, though. Were those times really that great? When a key employee puts in their 2 weeks. An important customer churns. The application is down at 2am. Skipping out on friend and family get-togethers to be at a trade show. It’s easy to romanticize running a business. We’re entrepreneurs, we’re overly optimistic! Try looking at the full picture, though. What’s working for me? Create a routine. Book your calendar with time slots for activities: * Gym * WSJ reading * Surfing * Lunch * Project * Kids Whatever it is, create structure. Then use those slots to figure out which gives you positive energy and which is a drag. Adjust accordingly. Step 4 - Settling with new purpose My guest on this episode has reached this stage. He felt 70% fulfilled again, creating a new routine around mentoring companies, more family time, and investing. It appears most have created a better balance here. Gone are the 90% of your hours spent on the business, and hello to an equal pie of time spent. Probably a healthier way to live. I’ll report back when I get there! This is a public episode.
