Entrepreneurs are often warned about burnout, but in the eCommerce world, overwork rarely looks like the stereotype of a stressed employee with a pushy boss. For founders and high-performing executives, the challenge is often the opposite: the work is so enjoyable, so mentally stimulating, that stepping away feels harder than leaning in.

In this episode, we dig into why that “fun” is exactly what can threaten your long-term joy — and how to resist the constant pull of your own company. You’ll hear a candid conversation on balancing ambition with rest, the science behind true mental recovery, and how to avoid using business as a constant source of stimulation.

We also explore the founder’s biggest question: when you’ve built something extraordinary and life-changing wealth is within reach, why not sell now? This conversation will give you both the mindset shifts and the strategic lens to think clearly about scaling, exits, and what you’re really optimizing for in your career.

If you want to build a company that not only scales but sustains your life’s joy, this is a must-listen.
