The Surprising Joy of Going From CEO to Employee 🌍
In this brief video, Joshua Fraser reflects on his recent transition from a decade‑long CEO role to joining Martell Ventures as a venture advisor and employee. He explains how the shift has transformed his mindset: moving away from constantly managing a five‑year vision and firefighting, toward focusing on quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals. Fraser emphasizes that the employee role brings less pressure, faster learning, and a sense of progression rather than mere motion. Despite expectations that a former CEO might miss the authority, he expresses genuine enthusiasm and enjoyment for the new, more focused, and lower‑stress work environment.
