Show Notes:

In this episode, Matt Zaun sits down with Scott Raven, founder of Corvus Solutions, to explore how high-achieving entrepreneurs can escape the very businesses that are trapping them.

Scott opens up about the hidden burnout cycles that plague founders and executives and how he turned his own rock-bottom experience into a blueprint for reclaiming freedom without sacrificing growth. He outlines his six dimensions of professional freedom and explains how companies can create systems that liberate, rather than imprison, their leaders.

In addition, they talk about:

✅ Why boundaries at work aren’t just necessary; they’re an act of authenticity and leadership
✅ How burnout nearly ended Scott’s career and health, and what he learned about flow state, anxiety, and doing work that truly fits
✅ Why optimization isn’t always the answer and how designing your business around your natural strengths leads to sustainable success

…and much more!
