After a $12M exit, ErgoTune’s founder Joshua Chan faced a challenge few talk about—losing his sense of identity beyond the "founder grind."
In this episode, we unpack what really happens after you exit: the emotional void, shifting purpose, and the truth about rebuilding when the hustle isn’t for survival anymore.
Founder Takeaways:
– How to prepare for the emotional crash post-exit
– Why purpose must replace panic in your next chapter
– What smart, sustainable risk-taking actually looks like
– Who really thrives in startups—and it’s not about personality
– Where to focus: customer acquisition over everything else
