Founders often say they are burned out.

But in many growing companies, what feels like burnout is actually something far more dangerous — founder decision fatigue.

In this solo episode, Professor Gary Palin breaks down why decision fatigue is not a wellness issue. It is an execution risk.

As companies scale, decision volume multiplies. If authority does not scale with it, founders become the convergence point. Approvals increase. Clarifications multiply. Meetings expand. Execution slows quietly — long before revenue or KPIs show visible strain.

You’ll learn:

If execution feels heavier even though growth looks healthy, this episode will help you diagnose the real issue.

Decision fatigue slows companies long before results reveal the damage.

Treat it as an execution risk — not a stamina problem.
