“It is simple. It might not be easy to do, but it’s so simple to make big change. It’s just about adding that grain of sand every day and you will see a difference because of that. ”

— Nicola Mercer

“As soon as you start the day, that’s how your day is going. So if you start stressed and you’re full of anxiety, in reactive mode, that’s how your day is going to be for the rest of the day. What you do on a morning predicts everything else from there.”

— Keir Wotherspoon

This is the topic of today’s episode with guest expert Keir Wotherspoon. We’re diving deep into why burnout is on the rise and whether men and women experience it the same way for the same reasons, and how to build the right habits to protect yourself from burnout.

Keir is a performance coach helping stressed and exhausted men in business defeat burnout and develop unbreakable confidence. He has a long background working in health and fitness, and uses his own experience of navigating burnout to help you understand why working hard and constantly pushing yourself isn’t the only way to hit it.

In our conversation we talk about:

  • What burnout is and why it’s on the rise.

  • The difference between stress and burnout, and why stress should be a good thing.

  • How to build a morning routine to better support your sleep and overall health.

  • Why sleep is the king of healthy habits in building resilience and avoiding burnout.

  • The importance of habits and having them become a part of your identity.

  • Challenging the biggest obstacle we hear from people wanting to make changes - having no time to do it!

  • Keir’s three rules for living a strong, happy life.
