    Over the last decade, Justin Welsh has helped build two $50M+ ARR companies, teams of 150+ people, and raised over $300M in venture capital.  Then, in 2019, he burned out.  So, he walked away from a high-paying executive job at a high-growth startup in Los Angeles to work for himself. He wanted to completely redesign his life with more intention.
