I was getting ready to pile on, but then saw the dude boxes. Anyone who voluntarily risks getting punched in the face gets my respect.

Sadly I'm not of independent means like him, so I can't really relate but good luck to him. He's managed what most of us here dream of.

TBH, I'd say to him to reach out to other ex-founders and chat to them. They'll probably have the best perspective. Or become a partner at YC or something.
