602: How to Go From Burnout to Balance with Chris Ducker

If you've ever felt burned out, stretched too thin, or guilty for even thinking about taking time off—you're not alone. I've been there too.

That's why today's conversation with my good friend Chris Ducker hit so hard. Chris is a wildly successful entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Youpreneur. But despite building a thriving business, he ended up flatlined—literally. Diagnosed with acute anxiety, depression, and adrenal failure, Chris was forced to face the cost of nonstop hustle.

In his new book The Long Haul Leader, Chris shares the framework he created to move from burnout to balance: a simple Life OS built on four pillars—impactful work, loving relationships, personal mastery, and hobbies. We dig into why hustle should only ever be a season (not a lifestyle), how to protect your energy, and why self-care isn't selfish—it's strategy.

If you want to create lasting success without sacrificing your health, happiness, or relationships, this conversation will give you the permission and tools to finally make it happen.
