Episode 67: It's About People – Burnout, Budgeting, and the Battle for Mental Health

In this eye-opening episode of IAP, Brian and Walt shift the spotlight from payroll to people. They tackle the emotional weight of modern life—from Gen Z’s sky-high salary expectations to the growing burnout crisis sweeping American workplaces.

🔥 Topics Covered:

  • Why 66% of workers feel burned out—and why Gen Z is walking away

  • Real talk on inflation vs. pay raises (and how the math never adds up)

  • Budget hacks that can boost both your wallet and your wellness (hello, Costco & Yuka!)

  • The hidden costs of poor nutrition, toxic jobs, and sleep deprivation

  • Emotional wellness strategies from journaling to unplugging and walking barefoot in the grass

  • A bold proposal: should there be a national agency that monitors toxic work environments?

This episode is a call to action for employers, leaders, and everyday workers. It’s time to create a world where empathy, health, and humanity come first. Because at the end of the day—it’s not just about payroll.
