Description

This isn’t just a story about quitting a job — it’s about rediscovering meaning after you’ve already “made it.”



Zach Wilson, data engineer turned creator and founder, walked away from a high-paying career in big tech to build something of his own. What started as a leap toward freedom became a deeper journey into burnout, identity, and what success really means once you already have it.



In this conversation, we unpack what it really takes to build a meaningful life after success — systems over ambition, investing and learning from a new form of education, integrity over hype, and the long game of finding purpose in your work.



If you’ve ever wondered what comes after achievement, this episode will hit close to home.
