How to Lead with Clay Scroggins and Adam Tarnow

How to Keep Going When Work Won’t Let Up


Listen Later

Burnout isn’t a badge of honor—and it’s not the end of the road. In this episode, Clay and Adam unpack four surprising reasons high-capacity leaders hit a wall—and how to bounce back without guilt or heroic grit. From emotional fatigue to financial pressure, they explore what’s really behind burnout and what to do when work won’t let up.


You’ll learn why burnout isn’t always about working too much—sometimes it’s about doing the wrong kind of work. Plus, they share personal stories, practical rhythms, and one small step you can take this week to protect your energy and lead from a healthier place.


Key Topics:


  • The difference between burnout and exhaustion

  • Why boredom might be draining your energy

  • How to lead yourself through stress when no one else will

  • What to do when financial pressure keeps you stuck
