The Jeremy Hanson Podcast The cost of success after success

In this raw and emotionally charged episode of The Jeremy Hanson Podcast, we reveal the brutal truth behind entrepreneurship—the sacrifices no one wants to talk about. It’s not just about hustle and grind; it's about what you give up on the journey to success—your time, your relationships, your health, and often, your identity.

Jeremy pulls back the curtain on the real-life toll that starting a business takes, from missed birthdays to lonely kitchens, and introduces the metaphor of Jennifer—a partner, spouse, or piece of your soul left behind while you climbed the mountain of success. But what happens when you get to the top and realize you’re alone? Or worse, when the people who mattered most have already checked out emotionally?

This episode isn’t just a warning. It’s a mirror. Whether you’re grinding your way through the early days or basking in the glow of growth, this 45-minute truth bomb will challenge how you define winning.

Topics Covered:

The unavoidable sacrifices in the startup phase

How growth and success can become emotional traps

Why most entrepreneurs don’t realize what they’ve lost until it’s gone

How to course-correct, reclaim connection, and redefine legacy

This episode is for: Founders, entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and driven individuals who don’t just want success—but want to keep their soul intact while chasing it.
