"Success is not a place, it's a mode" — Mental Health with Mike Rosen
Mike Rosen is back for round two as our unofficial resident mental health expert. Success metrics that don't wreck you, the New York vs. LA work ethic, remote vs. office — and one relationship gem worth adopting.

What’s in this one
Mike’s first appearance was episode 10. It was good enough that Stephen’s family requested a return — his mother, specifically. So we made it happen.
This one is off the Klaviyo dashboard entirely: how to define success metrics for your own career instead of inheriting someone else’s, why “back to the office” is the wrong question, and what a healthier work life actually looks like for operators.
