About this listen
This week on The Long Game, we dive deep into the battle between hustle and harmony.
Jay throws it over to Mike, who has taken a bold step, hitting pause, switching islands, and unplugging from the grind after realising he was heading full-speed toward burnout.
What unfolds is a raw, honest, and often humorous conversation about the hidden costs of always being “on.” We explore:
💥 The addiction to adrenaline and achievement 🧠 How your nervous system quietly keeps score 💤 The myths (and truths) about sleep, recovery, and “powering through” ⚖️ Building real-life rhythms: cycles of push, rest, and play 🌀 The rebirth that follows breaking down 🔄 Why burnout isn’t failure — it’s feedback
Whether you’re stuck in a loop of constant striving or learning to surrender to the flow, this episode will meet you where you're at with stories, science, and soul.
No fluff. No shortcuts. Just truth.
🎧 Listen now and remember: extraordinary results don’t come from sprinting. They come from playing The Long Game.
