<p>Stephen Scoggins built and exited multiple companies, one approaching nine figures, and hosts the BUILD podcast with over 48 million views. But this episode isn&#39;t about that climb. It&#39;s about what happened after he got everything he thought he wanted and felt nothing.</p><p>Stephen opens up about the season after his exit, when a comment from his son Tyler at a taco shop cracked open just how absent he&#39;d been while being present. He walks through the Five Constraints that quietly derail founders and families (arrogance, ignorance, impatience, fear, insecurity), why his dyslexia became an operational advantage instead of a source of shame, and the jet boat moment in New Zealand that gave his upcoming book its title. Fair warning: figuring out you&#39;re not who you said you are is a lot less fun with a life jacket on.</p><p>What you&#39;ll learn:</p><ul><li>Why Stephen calls his homeless-to-nine-figures story the least useful part of his journey</li><li>The five internal constraints that quietly sabotage founders and families</li><li>How to build a daily rhythm that protects presence without relying on willpower</li><li>Why dyslexia became one of Stephen&#39;s sharpest operational tools</li><li>What a stranger on a jet boat in New Zealand told him that reshaped his next chapter</li></ul><p>Subscribe to The Weekly Compass, our free weekly newsletter with short practical tips for building wealth, aligning your family, and living intentionally: <a href="https://OurFamilyInvests.com/newsletter">https://OurFamilyInvests.com/newsletter</a></p>
