#23 8-Figure Exit, Burnout & Starting Over: Shaun Rahimi on the Cost of Success

Shaun Rahimi spent nearly a decade building a pain management company from scratch… eventually selling it for eight figures to Hinge Health. In this episode, I sit down with Sean to break down what it actually takes to build over 8+ years, raising capital, rebuilding after setbacks, and the level of belief required when nothing is working yet. But we also talk about what happens after you “make it.” We get into burnout, identity shifts, grief, and why success doesn’t automatically solve the things you think it will. This conversation is about building something real, questioning what you’re optimizing for, and creating a life that actually feels aligned, not just successful on paper.
