My guest today on The Thrive  Factor podcast is Michael Levitt.
Michael Levitt is the founder & Chief Burnout Officer of The Breakfast Leadership Network, a San Diego and Toronto-based burnout media firm. He is an in-person and Certified Virtual Speaker, a Certified NLP and CBT Therapist, and is one of the world's leading authorities in burnout recovery and prevention.  He is a Fortune 500 consultant, #1 bestselling author, and host of the Breakfast Leadership Show, a top 200 podcast on iTunes. He is a 2x Top 20 Global Thought Leader on Culture with Thinkers360. Michael is a former Healthcare executive, CIO, and CFO overseeing $ 2 Billion budgets, so he’s seen and done it all.

Michael published 369 Days: How To Survive A Year of Worst-Case Scenarios (Amazon link to book), to share his burnout journey of having a heart attack that should have killed him, losing his job during the economic recession, having his family vehicle repossessed by the bank, and finally, his home foreclosed, all in a year.  It was the best thing to ever happen to him, because those experiences created his passion to launch the Breakfast Leadership Network, to address burnout with individuals and teams, so that they could avoid their own year of worst-case scenarios.

We talk about the different stages of burnout. How simple steps, such as not having your phone in your room can help you sleep better. Michael also talks about effective strategies you can teach others in your work environment to avoid burnout.

In Episode 15 I talk about the massive online phenomenon that is TikTok.

Statistics that matter

As of 2020 TikTok has 800 million active users worldwide.

TikTok has been downloaded 1.5 billion times on the Google Play Store and the App Store.

TikTok was downloaded 33 million times in quarter 1 of 2019 in the Apple App store making it the most downloaded app.

TikTok users spend an average of 52 minutes a day on the app.

TikTok has over 467 million users in India, 173.2 million users in China, and 123 .8 million users in the United States.

TikTok is currently available in 155 countries around the world. What's even more amazing is that it's available in 75 different languages.

A growing number of US adults are using TikTok. In the final quarter of 2017, there were 2.6 million active adult users on TikTok. This increased to 7.2 million just 12 months later. As of September 2018, it doubled again and increased to 14.3 million active users.

TikTok has had more than 1 million daily video views in the last year.

I talk about what to do and what not to do on TikTok, how to monetize on Tiktok, and why TikTok is a goldmine for marketers right now.
