In this episode of The Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton sits down with former professional athlete and hedge fund analyst Alex Feinberg to deconstruct the "Success Trap" facing modern professionals. Alex shares his journey from the stress of elite athletics to the high-stakes world of Silicon Valley and high finance, where he discovered the "writing on the wall": the global economy is designed to maximize your output while minimizing your freedom.

They deep-dive into the Triple Seven Framework—the ultimate benchmark for integrated success: 7 hours of sleep, a 7-minute mile, and 7 figures of liquid assets. Alex explains why most high-performers are "isolated operators" who sacrifice their health for digits on a screen, and provides the Kingpin Model for reclaiming 10–20 hours a week without losing your professional edge.

If you are a faith-driven leader seeking financial sovereignty, time mastery, and a deeper connection with your family, this conversation is your orientation for the "6-Hour CEO" lifestyle.
