What happens when success finally delivers everything you worked for… and it still doesn’t satisfy?

In this powerful episode of Bartelle's Money Talk, we sit down with Bryan Hancock, real estate developer, executive strategist, and co-host of the Executive Connect Podcast, to talk about the moment his definition of success completely changed.

After a painful divorce and years of chasing achievement, Bryan discovered a hard truth many leaders face but rarely admit: titles, money, and achievements don’t equal fulfillment.

In this conversation, we dive deep into:

• Why high achievers often feel stuck, burned out, or empty
• The science behind happiness, relationships, and well-being
• How success can quietly destroy your health, marriage, and presence
• Why relationships—not income—are the greatest predictor of happiness
• The danger of letting your employer design your life
• How leaders can use AI as leverage, not a threat
• Lifestyle design, freedom, legacy, and purpose beyond the paycheck
• The mindset shift every executive needs heading into 2026

Bryan also shares insights from his work with corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, and high earners—including how intentional financial tools, like tax-advantaged investing, can support freedom without sacrificing what matters most.

If you’re a leader, executive, entrepreneur, or high achiever who feels successful on the outside but restless on the inside—this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen all the way through. This conversation might change how you measure success forever.
