The Long Haul Leader: Redefining Success and Burnout | Chris Ducker
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When we talk about leadership and entrepreneurship, the conversation often veers toward hustle culture, 80-hour workweeks, and the kind of relentless, sleep-when-you’re-dead mentality that’s glorified on social media. But what’s the real cost?
In this episode of Authors Who Lead, I speak with Chris Ducker—entrepreneur, mentor, and author—about the deeply personal experiences that inspire his new book, Long Haul Leader. This isn’t just another business strategy book. It’s a candid, thoughtful guide to lasting success—without sacrificing your health, relationships, or joy.
