- Quote from a founder I work with.

AVOIDING BURNOUT

Lately, I’ve been focused on helping founders avoid burnout. With fundraising tougher than ever and investors laser-focused on profitability over raw growth, founders are feeling the squeeze. More pressure, more work, and often—less time for themselves.

One thing I encourage? Leveraged social events.

LEVERAGED SOCIAL EVENTS

Here’s what my founder did:
​

He’s a massive rock and roll fan, and he wanted to see his friends. But between work and life, coordinating was a nightmare. Instead of overcomplicating it, he found a concert about five weeks out, booked a general admission ticket, and blasted out an email to friends and family:

“I’ll be here. Come if you want to hang out.”

That was it. No back-and-forth scheduling, no stress. And the result? A night that left him recharged and connected. With a handful of friends that could make it.
​

This works beyond concerts—dinners, festivals, street fairs, whatever. The key is picking a date, making it open-ended, and letting people come to you. Less friction, more connection.

​WHAT ENERGIZES YOU?

Burnout isn’t just about working too hard—it’s about losing touch with what energizes you.
