episode Phantom Strings cover

Phantom Strings

Anthony Bourdain had everything. Fame, freedom and success beyond imagination. So why did he still have nightmares about a restaurant he hadn't worked at in over twenty years? This episode explores phantom strings: the invisible tethers that keep successful founders bound to companies they've sold, standards they've exceeded, and versions of themselves they've outgrown. If you've ever woken up at 2 AM stress-testing financials for a business you no longer own... if you've ever caught yourself defending decisions to people who stopped judging you years ago... if you've ever wondered why letting go feels impossible even when you know you should... You're not alone. And this might explain why. In this episode: * The Zeigarnik Effect: why your brain won't let unfinished tasks go * Why successful people are more trapped by phantom strings, not less * The founder who couldn't stop checking Slack six months after her eight-figure exit * Tom Brady's three retirement attempts and what they reveal about identity * How to finally believe what everyone else already knows: you're free to go This is Private Words, the podcast for founders who are silently drowning.

episode The Bag At The Top of the Ladder cover

The Bag At The Top of the Ladder

What if everything you're climbing toward... is empty? Ted Turner told Blake Mycoskie there was a bag at the top of the ladder. Years later, after selling TOMS for $300 million, Blake opened it. It was empty. This is the conversation we don't have: What happens when you achieve everything and discover it doesn't make you whole? When your business becomes your identity and you forget who you were before? You know this feeling:  Tuesday evening at the office when home feels wrong.  Saturday morning, checking email before your feet hit the floor.  Introducing yourself by your company, never just your name.  You can't remember what you loved before business consumed everything Through stories of those who confused achievement with identity, this episode explores what researchers call "identity fusion" and the quiet work of remembering that you exist independently of what you've built. The bag will always be empty. But you, the real you, are not. For founders quietly unraveling inside their own success. 24 minutes. No guests. Just truth.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
