Most people imagine early retirement as the ultimate reward for years of hard work—but for many high achievers, it triggers a profound identity crisis no one prepares them for.
In this deeply revealing Prepare4Growth conversation, Nick Sheldon takes us inside his unexpected descent through the five stages of post-career collapse: the euphoric Honeymoon, the creeping Drift, the painful Disconnection, the internal Doubt, and finally, the quiet Collapse that nearly consumed him.
If you (or someone you know) has ever wondered “What comes after success?”, this conversation is a must-listen.
Your second mission might just be the most meaningful chapter of your life.
