How to recover from burnout isn’t just about working less. It’s about redefining success from the inside out. In this episode, author Chazz Scott joins Julian Hayes II to share why true success starts within.

Burnout has become the silent epidemic of high achievers. Chazz Scott, author of Success Starts Within, opens up about his own journey from exhaustion to resilience, and why high performers must learn to “be well” instead of just “do well.” Together, we explore the science of sustainable performance, how to balance ambition with fulfillment, and the tools leaders can use to recover and thrive.
