What happens when you do achieve your goals but, over time, those goals don’t matter anymore?
Most of us just stay the path. Alan Roth didn’t. He walked away at the height of his career, shut it all down, and spent years figuring out what actually mattered.
In this conversation, we get into the courage it takes to quit, what happens when you lose your identity as an operator, and how he found his way back to our industry with a completely different lens.
If you’re questioning your path—or just running on fumes—this conversation hits where it counts.
