Patterns of Power with Craig Perra (habits, mindfulness, high-performance, self-leadership)11 Jun

Work Addiction Is Real: What a GE Executive Lost Chasing the Big Win | CFO Cruz Gamboa

Cruz Gamboa spent 20+ years climbing to the top of General Electric — closing an $800 million deal, leading capital markets across Latin America, and earning a spot in the executive ranks. Then the CEO called to congratulate him. And he felt completely empty.

In this episode of Patterns of Power, Craig Perra sits down with Cruz Gamboa, founder of Ascend Growth Ventures, to unpack what happens when high-performing men reach the goal — and discover it was the wrong one.

Cruz gets raw about work addiction, panic attacks, porn use, daily drinking, a marriage that couldn't survive the grind, and the moment a doctor told him the problem wasn't physical. It was between his ears.

If you're a driven man privately wondering why success doesn't feel like enough — this conversation is for you.

What you'll take away:
-Why work addiction is one of the most socially accepted and least recognized dopamine traps
-How identity gets fused to professional title — and what it costs when that title changes
-The difference between being curious about your dream and being committed to it
-Why lack of self-love is the root cause behind every compulsive pattern Craig sees in clients -How to build a mission big enough that bad days become data instead of disasters
-The OKR framework for aligning your goals to your actual purpose — not just your metrics

Who this is for: Executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performing men who are winning on paper and quietly asking "is this it?"
