what kept you going as the founding CTO? Was there anything other than money to motivate to you wake up and go to work?
You did well on that job obviously and the start-up had a good exit, but what was your goal beyond that?
I am not a climber, but I can imagine to a climber it must be horrible when he/she has accomplished all the climbing and there is nothing left to climb.
I look up to the people who are going strong well into their 70's and even 80's, even after they have achieved a great deal. It can't be money because they've got a load of it that they can't even spend it. I don't know what it is though but I can imagine that whatever it is that keeps them going, it's different from person to person.
Find what that is for you. It's ok to say that you don't have it, because seeking and finding it is work in and of itself. Find it and then connect with it, and you'll see there is much more to wake up to and so much more to work hard for.
