Jul 23, 2025 Episode 52
Dr. Dave Maloley

66% of your team is burning out. Not because they’re weak—but because your system is working exactly as designed. 

Burnout isn’t about doing too much. It’s about doing too little of what actually matters. And most business models are still wired for burnout-by-default. 

In this episode, Dr. Dave will show you how to fix that—fast:

  • You’re Triggering Burnout Without Knowing It: Six silent stressors are baked into your business model. 
  • Hustle Culture Is the Profit Sinkhole: It looks productive. It feels urgent. But it’s quietly wrecking your margins and morale. 
  • Flow Is the Upgrade You’ve Been Avoiding: More energy. More ownership. More output. Less burnout. This is how humans actually work. 

▶️ Listen now. Because burnout isn’t a people problem—it’s a systems failure. And it’s costing you everything.
