Why the C-suite won't make us happy

This week, Alex and Emily dig into the first of five false beliefs that quietly set executives up for burnout—the seductive idea that reaching the C-suite will finally make you happy.

Whether you’re chasing your first executive role or you’re already in the chair wondering why success doesn’t feel the way you thought it would, this episode is an honest look at the lie we tell ourselves about achievement—and what it actually takes to build happiness that doesn’t depend on the next milestone.
