The Hidden Struggle Behind Startup Success with Phil Lehoux

What happens when you finally hit your biggest milestone and instead of feeling free, you feel more pressure than ever? That’s the untold story behind startup success.

This episode will change the way you think about success — and what comes after it.

Today’s guest, Phil Lehoux, CEO and cofounder of Missive, built a thriving SaaS company from the ground up. But reaching $100K months didn’t bring the relief he expected. Instead, it left him with exhaustion, hidden struggles, and the need to rebuild trust in himself.

For founders and creatives alike, this conversation is about redefining success, choosing resilience over control, and learning how curiosity fuels personal growth in business, life, and parenting.

You’ll learn:

Why startup milestones can leave you feeling empty instead of fulfilled

The hidden pressures that come with bootstrapped success

How to rebuild trust with yourself after setbacks

Why resilience matters more than control in business and life

How to redefine success on your own terms and lead with authenticity

This is a masterclass in how to stop chasing milestones and start living with more clarity, curiosity, and resilience.
