Money Stories Mike Mathweg: From Fired to $50M in Deals - Money Stories Ep 10
Most founders chase the exit.
Mike Mathweg got his. Then came the 12-word call that stripped him of his identity, his status, and the illusion of safety he’d built his life around.
In this conversation, Mike reveals how that moment became the line in the sand—forcing him to confront the version of success he had been sold, and step into the leader he actually wanted to be.
We unpack:
- Why the call that ended Mike’s career gave him the clarity to build Relentless
- How he went from corporate rejection to leading $50M in deals in under 12 months
- The invisible trap of success most founders walk into (and how to break free)
- How to build a business that serves your life—not the other way around
- The real meaning of stewardship, sovereignty, and rewriting the script mid-story
