2267: Million-Dollar Burnout & the Four Futures Framework Pt. 2
On today’s Part 2 episode, Dr. Mark Costes and Matt Uhler dive deep into what drives high achievers—and what often breaks them. From chasing arbitrary financial milestones to constantly moving the goalpost, the two reflect on the emotional toll of the entrepreneurial grind. Mark shares how hitting his million-dollar goal left him more miserable than ever and why he created the Four Futures framework to redefine true success across all areas of life. Matt adds powerful insights from his 27 years helping business owners buy and sell companies, including why so many miss their shot at a high-value exit. They also discuss the danger of being the “single point of failure” in your business and why scalable, team-driven operations are the real key to freedom. The episode wraps with Matt’s mission through AMPT to help entrepreneurs avoid costly mistakes and build businesses that serve both their goals and their lives.
