What if the secret to avoiding burnout isn't working less—but building a life that's actually exciting enough to pull you away from your laptop?

Many entrepreneurs dream about creating more freedom, but somewhere along the way, their business becomes their entire identity. In this episode, Julie sits down with Enji founder Tayler Cusick Hollman to explore what it really looks like to build a business that supports a full, present life outside of work.

Together they discuss why hobbies matter more than we think, how adventure has changed the way Tayler approaches risk and control, and why waiting until "someday" to enjoy your life is a dangerous trap. Whether your version of touching grass involves skiing down a mountain or simply protecting an afternoon to do something you love, this conversation is a reminder that your business should support your life—not replace it.

In this episode:

  • Why entrepreneurs often lose their identity outside of work
  • What extreme sports taught Tayler about risk, control, and trust
  • Why you don't have to "earn" your playtime
  • How scheduling joy can make you a better business owner
  • The simple mindset shift that helps prevent founder burnout
