Episode notes

Entrepreneur burnout is one of the most common but least talked-about struggles founders face—and it could be holding you back from sustainable success. In this episode, we talk with Eric Williams, founder and CEO of Willy, about how to beat burnout and scale your business without sacrificing your health, relationships, or clarity.

This conversation is designed for the overwhelmed entrepreneur who’s trying to do it all. Eric breaks down how the right leadership mindset, clear business systems, and smarter delegation strategies can transform your work life. If you're feeling stuck in the grind, unsure how to manage your growing team, or constantly firefighting, this episode is exactly what you need.

We cover how to shift your identity from doer to leader, how to install practical systems for streamlining business, and how to communicate expectations to your team so you're not the bottleneck. Eric’s insights will resonate with anyone struggling with entrepreneur stress, poor work-life balance, or a lack of support.

You’ll walk away with frameworks and mental models to overcome burnout and finally reclaim your time and energy. This isn’t just theory—it’s real talk for founders who are building under pressure.
