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!

Just Because Stressful Things are Happening You Don't Have to Be Stressed out - Aneesh Chaudhry
Feel like your brain is stuck in constant stress mode? Learn how "biohacking" your nervous system can help you gain control. Jerome dives into the inner workings of the brain with the founder of SoulPhysio Lifestyle, Aneesh Chaudhry. Aneesh shares how he helps entrepreneurs optimize performance by analyzing functional brain scans to identify imbalances. Discover techniques like neurofeedback to retrain your brain waves and lifestyle changes that regulate physiology. Shift your mindset to realize you don't have to be stressed just because stressful things are happening.
Tune in to unlock science-based tips on taking charge of your mental health through breathing, sleep, meditation, and more. It's time to stop surviving and start thriving! This info-packed episode will teach you how to "biohack" your brain back to peak performance.
[02:42 - 04:12] The benefits of looking at the brain for mental health
Aneesh got a brain scan 11 years ago which showed him the benefits of understanding the brain for mental health
Mental health issues are often treated with medication without looking at the brain
Scanning and looking at the brain provides more evidence-based ways to address mental health and behavior
[08:42 - 11:30] How brain scans show brain health and function
Brain scans look at structure and function. CT and MRI scans look at the structure
QEEG functional scans look at how the brain works and communicates between different regions
Different wave patterns (beta, alpha, theta, delta) correlate to different frequencies of brain activity and behavior
[11:42 - 15:00] Using neurofeedback to regulate the brain and nervous system
Techniques like neurofeedback can be used to consciously regulate your brain waves and nervous system
Controlling breathing patterns is one way to regulate your physiology and manage stress or anxiety
Other tools like heart rate variability training also help regulate the nervous system
[27:48 - 31:12] Optimizing sleep and sleep hygiene
Lack of deep delta wave sleep shows up on scans as brain fog during the day
Tracking sleep with wearables can provide insight into sleep issues
Having a bedtime routine helps transition the brain into restful frequencies
[36:54 - 39:30] Managing stress and inflammation
Anxiety and stress lead to increased inflammation in the body
Being "stuck" in sympathetic fight-or-flight mode for 4-6 hours a day leads to adrenal fatigue and disease
Regulating the nervous system can reverse inflammation and optimize health
Key Quotes:
“Just because stressful things are happening, you don't have to be stressed out.” - Aneesh Chaudhry
“Being in control is the game, instead of just being blown around by the winds.” - Jerome Myers
