The Power of Pausing in a Hustle Culture

Meet the low-key business mogul who sold his startup to Oracle for $850M, invested in 100+ companies on the side, launched a new startup, and co-owns the hottest spots in Aspen and Montauk. In this episode, the Tiger Sisters sit down with Jonah Goodhart to uncover how he stays so mesmerizingly chill while juggling more projects than we can count.  

Jonah spills his game-changing secret of learning how and when to pause, explains the “happiness quotient” and why finding joy in what you do actually lengthens your life—just ask Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. From his first job painting fences at Dairy Queen to his epic fails (like turning down a giant buyout offer…then watching his company go belly-up), Jonah’s stories will have you rethinking your hustle, your habits, and your next steps.  

Join us for an unfiltered chat about losses and the surprise wins that followed. If you’re all about building a life you love, get ready for shockingly simple ways to upgrade your life today.
