Alex was crushing it early in his career, ending up on Wall Street after getting a combined JD/MBA. But after a few years, he went looking for his next mountain, aiming his ambition at the tech sector. He ended up co-founding LiveOak, a company he eventually sold in 2020. After that, he struggled to determine what was next and finally decided to walk away from more than a million dollars. Now he's embracing non-doing, reconnecting with his passions, and figuring out what's next.
