Are You Feeling Stressed? | Tips To Avoid Burning Out
About this episode
When life and work get put us under pressure this is how we release the tension.
In Episode #405 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: people who chase after success and get burnt out, why I do everything I can to be as chill as possible, getting screwed around in work situations, ways that we reduce stress, a couple of fun hypotheticals and why we'll probably never see eye to eye on this subject.
Massive thanks to Dave Jones, Petar, Cole McCormick & an unnamed Mere Mortalite for the support! Really do appreciate it.
