Choosing Tasks: The Rule of Three and Needle-Movers

What happens when you hit the goal and still feel empty?

You are told to chase the million, then the ten million, then the billion. But no one talks about what happens when you actually get there and realize success without intention can still leave you burned out and unfulfilled. In this deeply honest conversation, Jay Shetty interviews Suneera Madhani on his podcast On Purpose about building a billion-dollar company, losing herself in the process, and redefining success around time, impact, and values instead of just revenue.
