In this episode, I sit down with Barrett Young to have an honest conversation about identity, success, and the rarely discussed reality of returning to employee life after entrepreneurship. Barrett opens up about building a successful business, the obstacles that ultimately led him to step away, and the internal struggle of redefining who you are when your title changes.

We talk about ego, burnout, financial pressure, and the quiet courage it takes to choose stability over hustle. This episode is a reminder that going back to being an employee is not a failure — it’s a strategic, valid, and sometimes necessary chapter in your journey.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt shame around “starting over,” or wondered what success really looks like beyond entrepreneurship, this conversation is for you.
