After 15 years of running at full speed, Scott Barker recently sold everything he owns to travel the world. We’ve had a lot of founders on the show, but very few are willing to talk openly about the cost of chasing big goals for long periods of time.

Scott is the co-founder of GTMfund, an early-stage venture firm backed by 350+ top GTM leaders. In this conversation, Scott talks candidly about:

• The mentality that made him successful - but also nearly destroyed him

• How easy it is to lose yourself in constant achievement

• What finally made him walk away from the life he built

• His learnings from a career in tech and VC

• How ambitious people can build a great career without burning themselves out
