453: Why successful people feel empty after achieving their goals with James Beng Lee

Today I talk with James Beng Lee to rethink success. Whether it’s hitting a financial goal, publishing books, or building a business, many people reach a point where they ask: What now?

James has worked with top performers across various industries and has seen firsthand how success can often feel hollow when it’s not defined correctly. We discuss the phases when people start questioning their definition of success, how the fear of not enough keeps us stuck in achievement cycles, and why true transformation requires more than just hitting the next milestone.

We also break down the crucial role of support networks and why so many high achievers struggle with loneliness. James introduces his 4S Framework—a way to recalibrate the relationships in your life to better support your growth. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve "made it" but still feel a void, this conversation will give you new insights into what truly matters.
