Burnout doesn’t come from weakness—it comes when your greatest strengths turn against you. In this conversation, Scott Anderson breaks down how perfectionism and endless “yeses” fuel early success but eventually scale into exhaustion, despair, and collapse.

We dig into:

* Why the common “solutions” to burnout actually make it worse.

* The existential moment when superpowers become kryptonite.

* How redefining success—and building your 2.0 motivation—restores energy and clarity.

* Practical techniques to break free from survival mode and operate in your genius zone.

* Real client stories showing how a few course corrections can double business while repairing family and self.

If you’ve ever paid the price of ambition with your health, marriage, or spirit, this episode shows you how to reclaim capacity, rebuild alignment, and create impact without burning out.
