What if your job actually kills you? [Lou Marchetti]
About this episode
Is your drive for success killing you? Lou Marchetti was a private equity Master of the Universe until he dropped dead during a CrossFit workout. (Yes, he had a heart attack.) Despite this wake-up call, it took getting fired two years later to finally confront the deeper void his relentless achievement was trying to fill, leading him on a journey from compulsive doing to conscious being. [Episode 90]
