Description

Stop making million-dollar decisions alone. Hampton gives you a personal board of eight vetted founders in your city who meet monthly to tackle your hardest problems. Find your group: joinhampton.com


Everyone’s chasing success — but what does that actually mean? Founders hit milestones, sell companies, and still feel unsatisfied. After 150+ interviews, the most consistent lesson is that most people are aiming at the wrong definition.



Here’s what we talk about:

  • Why the traditional founder definition of success doesn’t hold up
  • The dangerous feedback loop of external validation
  • How imposter syndrome thrives — even after a $50M exit
  • Why goal-setting alone can leave you feeling hollow
  • The “post-success” slump that no one prepares for
  • Why founders keep building (and chasing) after they’ve “won”
  • A better way to define success that doesn’t move the goalposts
