The Problem: Instant gratification is the mind-killer.

Getting burnt out is the worst. We get vulnerable, share our burnout war stories, as well as tips for how to recognise when you're approaching the point of no return, and how to protect yourself against it.

Also I start the episode by smashing my funnybone.

Dare I say it, this is a really good one.

Grazie mille!
