Hi Reader,
Twenty years ago, I burned out.
A few days ago, I told you the full story on my podcast—how it happened, why it happened, and what it felt like. Here's the link in case you missed it.
Today, in a fresh episode, I give you the recovery playbook. It's everything I've learned in the last twenty years on getting out of burnout and staying out of it.
In this episode, I walk you through seven strategies I've lived personally, that have kept me (and a lot of other leaders) out of burnout for two decades and counting.
The weird part? I'm serving 1000x more people than I was when I burned out. I'm tackling far more work. And I have more time off than I ever did before I burned out.
So, if you're ready to make a change, today's podcast might be exactly what you didn't know you needed. I hope it helps!
🎧 Listen now and take the next step toward healthier leadership. Watch it on YouTube or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
