Redefining Balance: From Burnout to Empowerment

Founders chase success at all costs. But what happens when the cost is too high?

For Adrian Locher, that cost was everything. As a serial entrepreneur, he built multiple startups, scaled across continents, and took 120+ flights in a year. At the peak of his career, his personal life collapsed. He missed the birth of his son. His marriage ended. He lost himself in the relentless pursuit of success.

This conversation isn’t just about burnout. It’s about what happens next⁠– and how to build a life that works.

Key insights Adrian shares:

• The hidden warning signs of burnout founders ignore ⁠–until it’s too late
• How to spot when your biggest strength is becoming your greatest weakness
• Why every founder should rethink “work-life balance” (and what to do instead)
• The three-bucket rule that helped him rebuild his life and company
• How to be ruthlessly ambitious⁠–without destroying yourself in the process

This episode is for every founder who’s felt the pressure to sacrifice everything for success.
