For those of you who weren't aware: we live in polarizing times. The mental and physical stress caused by discord about the most basic of facts is getting out of hand, and people have forgotten how to deal with disagreement.

He is an expert in employment law and workplace cohesion who specializes in morale and preventative education focused on tolerance and the benefits to brain health it brings. His most recent book, Healing the Human Brain, a First-Hand User's Guide for Rewiring Your Mental Health, is a treatise on the physical and mental dangers of intolerance and how we can repair the damage this does to us and others.

Burnout is no joke. With the gigantic pandemic-induced shift in how and when we work, the boundary lines between work and life blur and shift, and oftentimes not for the better.

Preventing burnout and knowing how to recover from it is the focus of today’s episode, and we’ve got Dan Capello, a burnout and recovery coach, to give us some insight into how we all can become more self-aware and stop that rush toward burnout right in its tracks.

With the number of distractions in our lives these days, it’s too easy to let time slip by, and opportunities along with it.

The pendulum is swinging back. Back in the early 2000’s the “work-til-you-drop” culture was running rampant in startups everywhere, particularly in the tech space. 80, 90, 100 hour work weeks were a mark of honor, a badge of distinction. Nowadays, the extremes of the early days seem quaint and misguided. Startups are taking self-care seriously and embracing Conscious Entrepreneurship, an ethos of intentional leadership that places personal care and growth at the forefront of an organization’s culture. Dave Mayer is the founder and CEO of Technical Integrity, an executive search and technical recruitment firm whose aim is to empower clients to do well while doing good. He’s here to talk all about the dangers of burnout, the importance of intention, and how we can all live and grow with a simple phrase: You are not your job.
