In this episode of Conversations, I’m talking about something every leader faces at some point: burnout. I’ve been there — stretched too thin, trying to do it all, and wondering if it’s worth it. If that’s you right now, this episode is for you.

I walk through 7 practical strategies that have helped me stabilize both my personal and professional life so I can keep showing up with strength, clarity, and vision. You’ll hear how I’ve learned to stabilize before scaling, build high-trust teams, create systems that actually serve people, and lead without sacrificing my health or purpose.

In this episode, I cover:

• How to recognize burnout before it takes you out

• What it really means to stabilize before you scale

• How to use your leadership pipeline wisely

• Why culture, trust, and the right people matter more than ever

• Simple shifts that lead to long-term sustainability

This isn’t just leadership theory — it’s real-life, in-the-trenches insight. I hope it encourages you, equips you, and reminds you that you’re not alone.

In this episode of Conversations, we’re talking about one of the most overlooked truths in leadership: scaling too soon will wreck what you’re trying to build.

Whether you're a church planter, pastor, or entrepreneur, you’ve probably felt the pressure to grow fast, reach more, launch the next thing. But here’s the truth—scale won’t fix your weak spots. It’ll multiply them.

We’ll unpack:

• Why bad culture scales just as fast as good culture

• How your motive for growth matters more than your model

• Why God’s timing won’t match your algorithm

• The difference between platform and preparation

• And how to build deep before you build wide

You’re not behind. You’re being built. And in a world chasing fast and flashy, we’re choosing faithful and foundational.
