Episode #35 – Burnout Looks Different Than You Think


Listen Later

Burnout isn’t always a breakdown. Sometimes it looks like working late, smiling in meetings, answering emails at 2am — and slowly falling apart behind the scenes.

In this episode, Evan Francen and Matt Goodacre dig into the real face of burnout — the version that’s high-functioning, hidden, and happening to more of us than we’d like to admit.

Based on Evan’s blog post, “Burnout Looks Different Than You Think”, this honest and eye-opening conversation explores:
  • Why burnout isn’t always obvious — even to the person going through it
  • How cybersecurity culture often celebrates dysfunction
  • The difference between being tired and being spiritually depleted
  • How to recognize the warning signs in yourself and others
  • And why we need to stop waiting until people crash before we care


🔔 This episode pulls no punches. It’s not about fixing burnout — it’s about finally calling it what it is.
