Back to EpisodesLeadership, Burnout and Purpose - Season 5: Episode # 90
Description
A lot of leaders look successful right before they burn out.
In this episode of the Cheat Code + Friends podcast, Jason Yarborough talks about the pressure behind modern leadership and why constant performance is leaving people disconnected from themselves, their teams, and the work they used to care about.
The conversation explores burnout, identity, company culture, and the growing expectation that leaders should always be available, always producing, and always winning. Jason also shares why self-awareness, community, and honest conversations are becoming essential for leaders trying to build high-performing teams without losing themselves in the process.

Quote of the Show:
“I think part of the reason why we want Arcadia to focus on leaders is that everything rises and falls on leadership. How you operate and how you show up as a leader are going to be everything, and so is how your team shows up. The pressure you put under your team is going to rise and fall on the pressure that you feel in yourself.” - Jason Yarborough
