This week, our guest speaker and I share our stories of burnout and how we overcame them (in career, entrepreneurship, and even sports). We hope that this conversation inspires you to take charge of your burnout and turn it into purpose…

In this episode, we discuss:

Our personal experiences with endurance sports and why we sometimes feel a lack of motivation for training.

The diminishing returns of extreme endurance training on health and well-being, highlighting the importance of efficient workouts and recovery.

The overwhelming workload and burnout experienced in professional life that can lead to physical and mental health issues.

Recognizing burnout, seeking balance, and making changes to achieve fulfillment.

The concept of "living in the now", how it emerges from personal reflections and struggles, leading one person to explore journaling, mindfulness, and the pursuit of daily wins to counteract the false sense of urgency and find contentment in the present moment.

Inspired by his experiences, our guest shares insights and strategies you can apply today - the same knowledge that inspired him to create the book "The False Sense of Urgency and How to #WINtheNOW"
