Leadership, Burnout and Purpose - Season 5: Episode # 90

A lot of leaders look successful right before they burn out.

In this episode of the Cheat Code + Friends podcast, Jason Yarborough talks about the pressure behind modern leadership and why constant performance is leaving people disconnected from themselves, their teams, and the work they used to care about.

The conversation explores burnout, identity, company culture, and the growing expectation that leaders should always be available, always producing, and always winning. Jason also shares why self-awareness, community, and honest conversations are becoming essential for leaders trying to build high-performing teams without losing themselves in the process.
