What happens when passion turns into pressure? In this episode of What's A Good Guy, we break down the real cost of wearing multiple hats as a creator, entrepreneur, and business owner — the burnout, the identity struggle, and the quiet pressure no one talks about. This conversation starts with a simple question: How long can you keep building something before it starts asking more from you than you can give? From podcasting and production to entrepreneurship, creative control, and intellectual property, we unpack what it really means to do everything yourself. We talk about: • Wearing multiple hats out of necessity, not choice • Why creators struggle to let go of control • Burnout vs discipline vs purpose • When passion stops feeling rewarding • The hidden cost of being "the reliable one" • Why success isn't always about money This episode is especially for creators, podcasters, entrepreneurs, and anyone building something from the ground up. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to balance work, creativity, relationships, and personal growth — this conversation will hit home. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Intro & live energy 2:15 The podcast's current crossroads 4:30 Being asked to sell the IP 8:00 Wearing multiple hats out of necessity 12:45 Burnout, pressure, and identity 20:00 Entrepreneurship reality checks 27:30 Accountability & creative exhaustion 35:00 The real value of versatility 45:00 Legacy vs leverage 1:05:00 Final reflections on purpose & endurance Please visit our website to get more information: https://www.whatsagoodguy.com/ 🔔𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. / @whatsagoodguy ✅ Support Us Here!
