About this listen
Grind culture is not cool—success culture is. In this episode we get real about entrepreneur/CEO burnout: how it sneaks up (brain fog, irritability, “movement without progress,” random emotion), why social media makes it worse, and the practical systems we use to prevent, spot, and recover—without taking our foot off the growth pedal.
We cover signs of burnout, how to build a team you can actually step away from, using time-zone arbitrage (working abroad) for a forced daily reset, the “1 hour for me” rule, cold plunges vs. unplugging, and how leaders can stay available without disempowering their people.
How to recognize burnout early (before the crash)
The difference between grind and progress (and why words matter)
Trusting your team: stepping out of the business to work on the business
Time-boxed recovery tactics: 60-minute daily non-negotiable, cold plunge, zone-2 runs, true unplugging
How to use travel/remote work for mental space and better leadership
Why your customers don’t care that you’re tired (and how to show up anyway)
