Brandon Fluharty built the kind of sales career most people dream about.

Seven figure years. Enterprise deals. Presidents Club. Recognition at the highest level.

But achievement came with a cost. Burnout. Bankruptcy. And the quiet realization that performance without alignment eventually collapses under its own weight.

In this conversation, we unpack the invisible game high performers get trapped in. The chase for more. The identity built around output. The subtle belief that success will finally make you feel safe.

Brandon shares what it took to redefine enough, to build leverage without sacrificing health, and to design a life that compounds freedom instead of pressure.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the ladder you’re climbing is leaning against the right wall, this episode will make you think.

Second Harvest

On paper, Devon McDonald had it all.

Division 1 athlete. Seventeen year run at OpenView. General Partner. Big house. Three kids. The life most people chase. But behind the scenes, something wasn’t sitting right.

In this conversation, Devon shares the moment her body started speaking louder than her ambition. The locked jaw. The burnout. The quiet voice that kept saying it was time, even when everything looked perfect from the outside.

We talk about identity, divorce, walking away from a role people spend decades trying to earn, and sitting in the goo of transformation. That space where you are no longer who you were, but not yet who you are becoming.

This one is about reinvention. About grief. About choosing alignment before life chooses it for you.

If you are in your own goo phase, this might land.

Eric Kostelnik has built and sold multiple companies, and somehow still manages to be one of the most grounded humans I know. In this conversation, we get into what happens after the exit. The identity shift. The silence. The need to re-anchor. We talk about fatherhood, the myth of "having it all together," and what structure really means when you're no longer chasing a finish line.

Then we go deep on consumer AI, mental health, dopamine loops, and what it means to build products that actually make people feel better. Eric’s honest, sharp, and full of unexpected insight. This one's a mix of wisdom, real talk, and rabbit holes. Hope you enjoy it.
