Show Notes

In this episode Sherry interviews successful entrepreneur Aaron Houghton. Aaron started his first business at age 17 and sold two companies to private buyers for $169M before his 30th birthday. Despite all this success Aaron realized he still wasn’t happy and in fact the years of growing his businesses took a toll on his health as well. He suffered from panic attacks, debilitating anxiety, and a cancer diagnosis in 2009. This lead to him making some drastic changes to his life. He and Sherry talk about how personal happiness and business success are not interrelated the way we think and what to do about it.
