In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain. I’ve built the businesses, hit the numbers, bought the cars, the house, the watch—and I’m on pace for eight figures in personal income. But here’s the part no one tells you: sometimes I wake up and feel nothing. Not because I don’t love the game, but because once you’ve “made it,” the hunger changes. You’re not chasing anymore—you’re maintaining. And that gets dangerous.

Success without purpose becomes pressure. You stop being driven by vision and start being driven by fear—fear of losing what you built. That’s not freedom. That’s a golden cage. I had to ask myself real questions: What do I actually care about? What’s worth suffering for? Because if you don’t know, you’ll burn out doing too much of what doesn’t matter.

If your fire is flickering, don’t ignore it. Dig in. Get honest. Because the real win isn’t just building something big—it’s building something that means something. Otherwise, you’ll look back and realize you climbed the wrong mountain, with no one to celebrate with at the top.

Welcome to The Spinoso Podcast hosted by CEO, doctor, comic book geek, and car guy, Alex Spinoso. I help people and companies grow - especially in the medical business. While my experience and expertise is in scaling all types of medical businesses to 7, 8, 9-figures or more, I can be a mentor to anyone who wants to take ownership of their lives, become a better leader at home and at work, and overcome any obstacle that stands in their way.
