Show notes

What happens when the check clears, and you still feel empty?

In this powerful episode, Jerome Myers talks with Rick Martinez, a former ER nurse, Army officer, and founder who scaled a 600-person healthcare company and exited successfully, only to face an identity crisis no one warned him about.

If you’ve ever asked, “Is this all there is?”, this episode is for you.

[00:00 – 12:00] Still in Scrubs: The Entrepreneur Who Kept Showing Up

From $8/hour raises to doubling his income overnight
Creating an agency by accident and growing to 600 employees
The systems that scaled without needing a business degree

[21:01 – 30:00] Service, Sacrifice, and the Truth About Scaling

Military activation changes everything
The moment he realized he was the problem, not the engine
A brutal but freeing insight: the founder or CEO is often the biggest bottleneck

Healing Is Possible: Rebooting Trauma and the Brain - Dr. Don Wood Jun 15, 2025

Show notes

What if trauma isn’t just in your head, but in your cells, your gut, your immune system?

In this electrifying conversation, Jerome Myers is joined by Dr. Don Wood, the founder of the Inspired Performance Institute and creator of TIPP, a neuroscience-based program for trauma resolution. What begins as a deeply personal story about saving his daughter’s life turns into a profound revelation: most of what we treat with pills could be solved by healing the mind.

If you’ve ever been told to just “manage” your anxiety, stress, or diagnosis, this episode is your wake-up call.

[00:00 – 12:00] Trauma Is the Root, Not the Symptom

“Medication is like giving tissue for a runny nose, what caused it?”
Trauma often underlies anxiety, addiction, and even autoimmune disease
Dr. Wood’s daughter's Crohn’s and lung disorder stemmed from childhood trauma, not just biology

[12:01 – 22:00] The Brain Isn’t Broken, It’s Protecting You

The subconscious runs 95% of your daily life and doesn’t understand time
Emotional triggers (or “activations”) are unresolved calls for action
“Anxiety is your mind trying to solve something from years ago, now.”

[22:01 – 32:00] The Science of Reprocessing Memory

Traumatic memories are stored in high-def; the solution is to reduce their intensity
“We don’t erase memory, we reclassify it. So your brain sees it as past, not present.”
Healing isn’t about forgetting; it’s about removing emotional dysregulation

[32:01 – 42:00] It’s Not Just About Therapy, It’s About Resetting

Traditional therapy relieves the trauma; TIPP reprocesses it safely and quickly
"I don’t need the whole story, just the trailer.”
The mind must feel safe before it can heal

[42:01 – 49:00] Resilience is Built on Safety, Not Hardship

“You don’t toughen a boxer by beating him before the fight.”
A stable home builds resilience; trauma erodes it before life begins
The system needs to feel safe to learn, grow, and repair

[49:01 – End] Why He Didn't Stop After Saving His Daughter

“We could’ve stopped. But we felt a calling.”
Dr. Wood uses TIPP to help veterans, athletes, CEOs, and kids
“Your mind and body are designed to heal. Trauma just gets in the way.”

Key Quotes:

“The mind and body are designed to heal. What’s interfering with it—in most cases, at least 80%—is unresolved trauma.” - Dr. Don Wood

“You can’t sabotage yourself. Your brain’s a survival brain. It’s protecting you.” - Dr. Don Wood

The Overlooked Leg of the Stool: Why Post-Exit Success is the Key to a Complete Exit Plan - Jerome Myers Jun 08, 2025

Show notes

What happens after the founder exits? Too often, regret, confusion, and loss of identity.

In this powerful session from the Exit Planning Institute, Jerome Myers delivers a wake-up call: most exit plans ignore the human element. While others focus on finances and operations, Jerome highlights the missing pillar: personal planning.

Press play and rethink what it means to exit with excellence.

[00:00 – 12:00] Exit is Inevitable, But Fulfillment is Not

100% of founders will exit: “Sell it, give it away, or close it.”
Most advisors ignore personal planning, but it’s what leads to regret
“The stool wobbles without the third leg. We’re building incomplete exits.”

[12:01 – 25:00] The Founder’s Exit Paradox

The paradox: rich and free, but lost
“They decouple their identity from the business and enter a void.”
Common regrets: loss of purpose, isolation, status drop, boredom
Why does money only solve 2 of the 5 levels in Maslow’s hierarchy

[25:01 – 38:00] Six Centers of Doubt: The Hidden Struggles

Introducing the Exit Paradox Iceberg
Self-image, Relationships, Work, Health, Prosperity, Significance
“If you don’t know where you’re going, you won’t like where you end up.”
60% of founders’ core relationships disappear post-exit

[38:01 – 48:15] From “What’s Next?” to N.E.X.T.

Nourish, Evaluate, Xplore, Transcend: a framework for life after exit
“Most are exiting from, not to. That’s why they regret it.”
How Jerome helped his father find purpose again, becoming a mayor in his 60s

[48:16 – End] Real Tools, Real People, Real Legacy

The NEO Assessment: Six archetypes for post-exit personality
“Ask your clients: What are you optimizing for, money or fulfillment?”
Advisors: why you need to engage the personal side, or risk losing the AUM
“The only way your life ever matters is if you are positively impacting other people's lives.”

Key Quotes:

“Money solves the first two levels of Maslow’s hierarchy. Everything after that - purpose, belonging, impact - needs something deeper.” – Jerome Myers

“The biggest problem in exit planning is that most founders are exiting from instead of exiting to.” – Jerome Myers
