Why You’re Burning Out (Even When You’re Crushing Your Goals)

About this episode

Marc and Joel discuss the hidden reasons behind burnout and how to sustain performance without feeling depleted.

Winning at work, and maybe even at home—BUT feel like you’re one bad week away from collapse? Marc and Joel reveal why most men are winning themselves into the ground—and the one shift that changes everything about how you sustain performance without burning out This isn’t about “self-care.” It’s about a framework that’s been buried for centuries. In this episode: • The “fuel gauge” question every man needs to ask himself • Why your best weeks might be destroying you slowly • The pendulum principle (and why half-swings lead to burnout) • What ancient Hebrew culture knew that we’ve completely forgotten • The real reason six-packs are made in the kitchen • How to work from strength instead of clawing to the finish line If you’re tired of feeling depleted despite “doing everything right,” this one’s for you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
