We meet again in this episode with Joakim Achrén, founder of Elite Game Developers, to break the myth of the stressful busy entrepreneur, and that it is actually not good for you. Why is this so hard to talk openly about mental burnout among entrepreneurs and leaders? Why are we holding on that image of control? What's happening under the surface, and what are the long-term consequences in the long run of suppressing negative emotions?

We'll address in this episode:

- The definition of burnout. What are the signs? Joakim and I will share our personal experiences.

- What can you do once you know you are in a burnout or depressive state? How can therapy help?

- What are still the blockers for leaders to seek help and therapy?
