This episode breaks down the identity crisis behind Burnout, fear, and career paralysis—especially in the age of AI.

We also discuss:

Why burnout is often an identity problem
How entrepreneurs can rethink success without burning bridges

How to test new paths without quitting everything
This episode is for founders, operators, and professionals questioning their next move in a rapidly changing business world.
