After the Billion: What No One Tells You About “Making It”

What happens after the billion-dollar milestone?

In Part Two of her powerful conversation with Jay Shetty, CEO School founder Suneera Madhani opens up about what came after the unicorn valuation—from the health crisis she didn’t see coming to the identity loss that followed stepping away from the company she built from scratch.

This episode is a masterclass in honest leadership, conscious entrepreneurship, and redefining success after burnout. Suneera shares the emotional, mental, and physical toll of scaling a business at all costs—and the healing journey that led her to build again with intention.

Whether you're building your first business or your fifth, this conversation is a reminder that success without alignment isn’t success at all.
