Jan 02, 2025
Episode 84
Jamie Lee, Patrice Bonfiglio
This is a replay of my interview on The Burnout Club podcast, hosted by Patrice Bonfiglio—a hedge fund industry veteran and all-around powerhouse.
Key Takeaways:
- Burnout isn’t caused by working hard—it’s driven by chasing a specific feeling or using emotion as fuel to push yourself to extremes.
- A key sign of burnout is physical illness—it often shows up through physical symptoms.
- Overcoming burnout requires a two-pronged approach: logical reasoning combined with subconscious work using hypnotic techniques for focused relaxation and deeper insights.
- Real-life examples from my high-achieving clients show how chasing feelings of accomplishment or confidence can unintentionally lead to burnout.
- Reflections from Patrice and me on our experience attending the Project 1490 retreat, where we first met in person.
