#80: He walked away from 2x million dollar businesses at 24

From building two million-dollar businesses in his early twenties to walking away from it all for a life of freedom and meaning, Jai Howitt’s story is all about letting go of what feeds your ego so you can build what truly matters.

Key Discussion Points:

• How growing up as one of seven kids shaped his drive
• Building and losing businesses that looked good but felt empty
• Letting go of ego and the need for validation
• Designing a life you don’t want to escape from
• How to fail fast, pivot, and keep moving forward
