Still Ambitious https://stillambitious.com/ Still Ambitious is a podcast for founders, operators, and executives who have built a lot and are now asking what they want next. Hosts Divya Brown and Bryan B. Sanchez bring the private conversations high achievers have about success, identity, and reinvention into the open, with guests who have reached the top of their field and had to decide what comes after.

Each episode explores three questions that rarely get asked out loud. What did success cost? What happens when a goal you spent years chasing stops fitting? And how do you build a next chapter on purpose? Guests share the turning points, the bad bets, and the hard-won clarity that came after the exit, the title, or the number they once thought would be enough.

Divya is a founder and operator who has scaled companies through rapid growth. Bryan is an executive and investor with decades of experience building businesses and advising leaders. Together they talk about ambition as something that keeps evolving, and about how to point it at a life that feels like your own.

If you still have plenty of game left and want to spend it well, this show is for you. New episodes, guest opportunities, and community gatherings are at stillambitious.com.

Stay driven. Live fully.

Now you wonder whether you still want it, and whether that question means your drive is gone. still Ambitious was made for that moment. Hosts Bryan B. Sanchez and Divya Brown open the show with a simple premise about redefining ambition after success. The drive stays. What fuels it can change.

 

Bryan ran a $10 billion real estate investment platform. Divya left oil and gas law, started her own fund, then ran an RV manufacturing company she scaled and sold. Friends for twenty years, they reconnected in a YPO forum where hundreds of private conversations about business, career transitions, and what comes next eventually inspired this show.

 

They start with their own stories. Divya signed up for a ten-day silent retreat three days after she left her company. Bryan took a different route into life after an executive role and admits what he would do differently. Divya explains why the work you excel at may sit outside your zone of genius. Bryan names the trap that keeps accomplished people from becoming beginners again.

 

Coming episodes bring entrepreneurs, leaders, and thinkers from across the U.S. and London who have lived through their own crucible moments. Expect honest experience shares with no blueprints attached. If you are weighing your next chapter after a successful career, follow still Ambitious and start redefining ambition after success with people who are in it too.
