This week Sharon Foulston tells the story most people only see the highlight reel of. The sudden wealth, the loss of her father, the years she spent feeling like a stranger to herself, and how sailing alone across open water slowly brought her back.

It is a conversation about what holds you up when everything you knew falls away.

Up Next: Austin Okolo.

He started in football, drifted into fashion, and built the Gen Z Club almost by accident, but the conversation everyone will remember is the honest one about being successful and still miserable. We get into why so many young people are forced into entrepreneurship, why the course sellers are lying to them, and why everyone wants the Dubai photo but nobody wants the work.

The full episode lands tomorrow.
