I burned out chasing success. So I sold everything and hit record. Wake Up Call is my search – for truth, healing, and what a good life actually looks like.
I’m recording this from a tiny plywood room in Dengboche, six days into a trek through the Himalayas. No Wi-Fi. No distractions. Just mountains, movement, and a lot of quiet time to think.
This solo episode is a meditation on what we chase, what we call success, and how those definitions shift from 14,000 feet. I share lessons from locals entrepreneurs who are redefining what it means to build something meaningful, reflections on giving and legacy, and a few reminders from the trail that hit deeper than expected.
If you’ve been running fast in a world that rewards accumulation, I hope this invites a different pace.
