Who Am I Without What I Built? with Jerome Myers
You built it. You exited. Now what?
In this raw and revelatory solo episode, Jerome Myers introduces the Founder’s Trauma Tree: a framework that exposes the emotional crash most Apex performers aren’t prepared for after the exit.
Through the real-life story of James, a founder who spiraled into anxiety six months after his 8-figure win, Jerome reveals why success doesn't silence inner wounds; it amplifies them. And more importantly, how you can begin to heal.
There’s a story beneath your success: one about pressure, pain, and the parts of you that never got to breathe. This is where healing begins.
Success checked every box, but something still feels off? This is the conversation that explains why.
