What Happens After You Reach the Top? | Ep. 247
Aug 19, 2026
Life has a way of telling us when something needs to change, even when we aren’t ready to listen.
My guest today, Mark Feinberg, spent years building companies, serving on boards, and chasing success. From the outside, everything looked right. But internally, Mark knew something was missing.
After the sudden loss of his business partner and close friend forced him to stop, Mark began letting go of the identity he had built around achievement and exploring who he was beyond his career.
We discuss:
- Why Mark believes “reconnecting with yourself” might be the wrong advice
- The wake-up call Mark gives clients who’ve spent most of their energy on one area of life
- Why aiming for a 10 in every part of your life might actually work against you
- What we may need to unlearn before we can move forward
- The unexpected place Mark found one of the most important lessons of his next chapter
