Show Notes

Fear of failure paralyzed me. It pushed me to try so hard, and feel genuinely afraid to rest… that I repelled clients and burnt out. Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster… and too many founders fear failure so much that they overwork themselves into burnout. In this episode, Paul shares his six-year startup journey, how ignoring warning signs led to exhaustion, and what he learned from interviewing 50 entrepreneurs about resilience, intuition, and business recovery.

By listening you will: 

  • Understand why burnout and failure are connected—and how to break the cycle.
  • Learn how to trust your intuition to make better decisions (and avoid costly mistakes).
  • Discover why rest is essential for success and how to know when you’ve done enough.
