Hey guys! Hope you're 2023 is off to a great start! I'm stoked to share the first interview of 2023! This week, I sat down with Nathalie Sinyard, a Behavioral Economist who specializes in studying burnout. That's right. The thing you and I do, but quietly tell ourselves its okay because we're "grinding." That thing.
Nathalie dispelled a lot of myths I had around burnout. I also opened up about my personal struggles with burnout. Things I still struggle with today.
I found this conversation tremendously enjoyable and I know you will too. There are practical tools you can use to reduce burnout when you're in it, as well as prevent it before it occurs.

This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests in a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. To help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created emergingmanagers.org, a website for emerging manager stockpickers.
For those looking to start a stock-picking fund or just looking to learn about how others have done it, I highly recommend the site.
