## Resource

Many accomplished professionals reach a point where they feel like a failure despite years of hard work—not because they lack talent, but because they're chasing a version of success that no longer fits who they are. Seasoned financial services executive and author Chad Betz explains why smart people stay on the wrong path, how the fear of letting go traps capable people in careers and identities that no longer serve them, and why traditional success advice no longer guarantees fulfillment.

Khudania Ajay (KAJ) leads this conversation for anyone who has ever wondered if they've missed their chance.
