Navigating Career Transitions
The speaker shares the difficult experience of separating from the meditation app he co-founded, citing significant creative, financial, and interpersonal differences with his co-founders. This decision, following nearly three years of negotiations, led to his departure while allowing him to retain the podcast and brand name.
