About this listen
Burnout isn’t caused by the climb—it’s caused by the weight you’re carrying. In Episode 2 of the Blair Singer Podcast, Blair uses a powerful mountain-climbing metaphor to reveal why leaders, entrepreneurs, and high performers burn out—not from effort, but from unnecessary mental, emotional, and environmental baggage. Learn how to lighten your load, eliminate what no longer serves you, and reclaim your energy as you rise higher.
Welcome back to the Blair Singer Podcast. In this episode, we’re talking about burnout—but not the way most people think about it.
Burnout isn’t about working too hard or climbing too high. Whether you’re scaling a business, leading a team, or pushing yourself to the next level, it’s not the climb that wears you out—it’s what you’re carrying while you climb.
Today, I’m going to share a lesson I learned straight from Mt. Kilimanjaro that applies directly to leadership, life, and long-term success.
If you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or burned out, here’s the truth—you’re not tired because you’re climbing too high. You’re tired because you’re carrying too much. On the mountain we say, pounds equal pain. And the same rule applies to your life and leadership. Let’s talk about what you need to put down.
