370. Robbie Bent (Co-Founder, Othership): I Built the Dream… But I Was Wearing Armor

Robbie Bent reveals why entrepreneurial success, high performance, and constant pressure can disconnect you from the very self you're working so hard to elevate.

After years of scaling a fast-growing company, Robbie found himself battling anxiety, founder stress, and emotional burnout — even while living the dream on paper. He shares how operating in "armor" — overwork, intensity, and survival mode — helped him achieve success, but left him feeling tense, overwhelmed, and internally disconnected.

But here's the breakthrough: achievement didn't feel fulfilling until he stopped chasing validation and started building from purpose, creativity, and genuine connection. The real shift wasn't external success — it was learning how to feel safe, grounded, and present while still pursuing ambitious goals.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, high performer, or driven professional dealing with burnout, anxiety, or success that feels empty, this conversation will help you understand the hidden mental health cost of achievement — and how to grow without losing yourself.
