Why It's Lonely at the Top (And It's Not the Job)
-

If you've become more successful and somehow feel more alone, not less, this episode explains why that's the predictable result of the position you're in, not a personal failing. It also gets personal: Russell shares how hiding his own emotions during his and his wife's fertility journey, to "protect" her, ended up isolating them both.
In this episode:
- Why growing more senior or more visible naturally shrinks the number of people you can be completely open with
- Why everyone around you, even people who care about you, is carrying their own agenda, fears and targets, which makes true vulnerability feel riskier the more successful you become
- Why leaders (and partners, and anyone trying to "hold it together" for someone else) often mistake performing strength for actually being strong
- The idea of being human to human rather than role to role, and how that single shift changes what you're willing to share
- Why hiding difficult emotions from the people closest to you, even with good intentions, tends to create more distance, not less
