“I almost had a heart attack at 35, and I got the classic talk from a Stanford cardiologist saying, 'You're just going to be another 40-something-year-old CEO with a broken heart.'”- Andy Johns

The Story Behind This Song

Andy Johns was a legendary growth leader at Facebook, Twitter, Quora, and Wealthfront — in line to become CEO. But his mother's death when he was 10 created a wound he spent 17 years running from through relentless achievement. His body broke first: panic attacks, teeth ground to dust from stress, and a near heart attack at 35. He eventually spent 45 days in a mental health institute and walked away from tech entirely.
