Avoiding Burnout
I talk about burnout, and how I think I managed to avoid it during my career. I expect pushback on this video, but I will emphasize that this is my experience. Your own experience might be quite different.
Also, the battery died at the end of the video while I was saying "I've just spent my life having fun". I thought it was an amusing thing to happen during a video about burnout.
