Louis Massaro recounts an early-career arc: he became a millionaire by age 23 but lost his wealth in 2008. Despite outward success, he felt empty and depressed; a coach confronted him, saying he had built his business but neglected his life. That remark triggered a shift onto a path of self-mastery guided by coaching.
23
2008
By 23, I was able to become a millionaire. And I'm. And I'm not saying that to impress you because I lost it all in 2008. Right? So it doesn't matter what you make. It matters what you keep. And I know what it's like to go seven years building a business thinking I was on top of the world, but also feeling completely empty. No meaning, no connection, completely depressed. Luckily, you know, I had a great coach by my side at the time. And she said to me, louis, you've done a great job of building your business, but you've done a terrible job of building your life. Imagine somebody saying that to you. But this was someone who understood what I was going through. This was someone that understood my life. And when she said that, it clicked. And so what she did was she put me on a path of self mastery.
