Hi friends, welcome back.

I guess today is John Roer and we're talking about the dark side of being an entrepreneur.

We often hear about the galactic success stories coming out of Silicon Valley, how much money

can be made by angel investors and startups.

We don't actually hear about what sort of an effect that has on the sanity of the people

who are running the company.

And today we get a really stark, honest and open insight into just what that world is.

John had a dissociative psychotic breakdown halfway through running one of the fastest

growing companies in America's history.

And that particular episode resented his view on what matters in life.

And this is a really unique opportunity to see exactly what it's like to be operating

at kind of the highest levels of growth.

And the price that people need to pay for that.

I've been talking a lot recently about you do not get to take part of someone's life,

you have to take the whole.

What is the price for being Elon Musk?

What is the price for being Conor McGregor?

And a lot of the time we can look at these founders and investors and think, oh, I'd love

that life.

That sounds fantastic to me.

And in reality, the price that they need to pay is one that we wouldn't even consider.

So yes, hopefully this helps to give us all a little bit of perspective.
