What does it really take to build a business that lasts?

In this episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I sit down with Chris Ducker - best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and creator of the Youpreneur movement - to talk about sustainable leadership, avoiding entrepreneurial burnout, and how to play the long game in business.

Chris opens up about his own experience with burnout, his path to recovery, and what he's doing differently this time around to protect his energy, time, and passion. We dive into:

• Why most founders burn out (and how to avoid it)
• How to protect your most valuable asset: your energy
• The mindset shift from hustle to harmony
• Practical habits for longevity as a business owner
• How hobbies, personal mastery, and saying "no" keep you focused

Whether you’re a scaling entrepreneur, a personal brand, or a visionary founder-this conversation will remind you what matters most if you want to lead for the long haul.

Listen now and learn how to build a business that fuels you - not drains you.

Chris's new book is released on Tuesday 2nd September 2025 and you can pre-order here: longhaulleader.com
