If you’re back at work and already quietly overloaded — you’re not broken.

January often pretends everything resets, while your nervous system, responsibilities, and expectations clearly don’t.

In this episode, Dex explores why high-performing leaders don’t need new goals, more effort, or a “new you” — they need a new standard.

Drawing on Dan Sullivan’s concepts of The Gap and The Gain and 10x thinking, this episode reframes overwhelm, pressure, and ambition — and shows how leadership energy is restored by raising standards, not expectations.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why January motivation often collapses — and why that’s not a failure
The difference between goals, standards, and unrealistic ideals
How unexamined standards quietly drain leaders
Why burnout isn’t about caring too much — but outgrowing old rules
How to move from The Gap to The Gain in everyday leadership
What real 10x leadership looks like (and what it isn’t)
The one question to ask in your first week back at work

This episode is for leaders who want high performance without self-betrayal — and results that don’t cost their health, relationships, or joy.
