#4 - Scaling Without Burnout — How High-Performing Cultures Can Grow Sustainably

About This Episode

Growth shouldn’t come at the cost of your people. In this episode, George Rogers and Gary Brackett unpack the hidden cost of high performance: burnout—and why it’s more than just being tired. Burnout is the sustained misalignment between effort and energy, and if left unaddressed, it can quietly erode even the strongest teams. We explore how building a culture of belonging isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a critical strategy for supporting mental health, driving sustainable growth, and retaining top talent. You’ll discover why great leaders don’t wait for signs of struggle—they stay connected to their people, understand their capacity, and create space for both performance and well-being. If you want to scale your business without sacrificing your culture, this episode is your blueprint. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
