EP 09: Why Burnout Doesn’t End When You Sell the Business
🎧 Episode Summary
Most people assume burnout vanishes once they step away from the grind. But here’s the truth: the biological residue of burnout doesn’t clock out when you do. Years of stress, late nights, and constant performance demands rewire your body and brain—and unless you address it directly, fatigue, poor sleep, and brain fog follow you into your next chapter.
In this episode, Steve Adams explains why burnout persists even after a business exit, the science behind lingering fatigue, and the proven steps to reclaim clarity, energy, and resilience.
