Peak Output. Rock Bottom Energy.
Burnout, stress & the high-performer trap.


🔥 A must-listen episode with Javed Bobat, mental health first aider and fellow Finance recruitment expert, diving into the unseen toll of high-functioning burnout - especially in fast-paced industries like finance and consulting.


We discuss:

⚠️ Why burnout often hides in plain sight — especially in high achievers.
💼 How glorified overworking is damaging long-term performance.
🧠 The psychological impact of chronic stress and coping mode.
⏱ Micro-moments that protect your mental health (even on the busiest days).
💣 The silent risks of “just getting on with it” — and why it's costing businesses more than they think.
🔍 How to spot early warning signs of burnout in yourself and your team.
🛠 Practical steps leaders can take to create healthier, more sustainable work cultures.


If you're a finance leader, high-performer, or founder who’s running at 100% on 10% battery - this episode is for you.
