| I sold my 10 year old company about a year ago and promoted my #2 to CEO to lead it post acquisition. Aside from the company related responsibilities I still have here's what I've been doing: -Actively working to strip away the identity/persona I built up over the last decade while leading the company, in order to get back to "who I really am and/or accurately understand who I've become" outside of the context of the company and the role of CEO/Founder. -Reading SO MUCH. And specifically the book "The Adult Years" has been essential for me in understanding the life stages we all go through and how to manage transition best. -Going on extreme/esoteric retreats: like climbing a snowy mountain this winter in Poland in just a bathing suit. I'm trying to push myself physically in ways I've never done before. -Bought a house for the first time and am learning to be a DIY god. -Supporting my wife's entrepreneurial journey as much as possible (she's the founder of her own successful company). -Being open again to mentoring/supporting others as much as possible. -I hope to soon become a Court Appointed Advocate so I can help NYC area kids who are caught up in "the system" in some way shape or form. -Oh and...lot of financial/estate planning work :) |
I don't know how tall or remote was this mountain, but a guy I know nearly died (well, technically he was dead for a bit while they reanimated him on the rescue helicopter) running in Polish mountains last winter without a proper clothing.
