In this powerful conversation, Michael Dillard and Dr. Kristen Donnelly dig into what it really means to be human in a world that treats people like replaceable parts of a profit machine. They talk about why breaks are not laziness, how overwork is a leadership failure, and what it takes to build a culture where people can actually breathe, think, and live outside of work.


If you’ve ever thought, “They need me, they need me…” while slowly burning out, this episode is for you.


  • Why people need breaks so they can truly recharge

  • How a human-first approach to leadership actually protects profit long term

  • Why overworking your team is a leadership problem, not a badge of honor

  • How business culture quietly tells people they are replaceable

  • The hard truth: you will be replaced at work, but the loss is still felt at home

  • Why prioritizing humanity over profit leads to healthier teams and better results

  • Practical ways leaders can foster work-life balance without losing performance


  • “People need to take breaks so that they can recharge.”

  • “They need me, they need me. And what we…”

  • “You’ll be replaced.”
