Eric Spett: Why Achieving Everything Doesn't Fix Anything - Money Stories Ep 17

The day after his multi-nine-figure exit, Eric Spett flew to Costa Rica and told himself he was fine. He wasn't.

In this episode, Eric opens up about the silent costs of success, the kind that don’t show up in earnings reports or exit headlines. We go deeper than business tactics and market timing. We talk about what happens when the engine that drove your ambition also drove you into the ground.

From $100K in credit card debt to building a category-defining SaaS company, Eric’s story is one of grit, collapse, and reassembly. But what stands out isn’t just how he built; it’s how he unraveled. And why that unraveling might have saved his life.

We unpack:

• The moment Eric realized success wouldn’t save him, and what came next

• The mental loops that haunted him post exit (even with all the money)

• How childhood wounds shaped his drive and nearly broke him

• The mentor who saw through his breakdown and bet on his potential

• Why identity reinvention is harder than product market fit

• The unseen cost of getting everything you thought you wanted
