Summary
What happens when ambition quietly becomes obsession and costs you everything? In this episode, we sit down with Michael Maxon (aka Dr. Johnny Delirious), author of The Need for Greed: Dracula's Curse , a memoir that draws haunting parallels between his own rise and collapse, the fall of the Roman Empire, and the state of America today. From a national magazine empire to devastating personal loss, Michael shares a raw formula for recognizing and escaping the curse before it consumes you.
