How many of us are chasing a version of success that was never really ours to begin with? My guest is Janine Mathó, author of Live Your Opus and executive coach to ambitious leaders. After navigating burnout and the loss of her mother, she went on a multi-year quest to answer one question: how can ambitious people achieve healthy, meaningful success without losing themselves along the way? We explore what it really takes to sustain high performance over time, why energy is the architecture of how you show up as a leader, and why the answer isn't to lower your ambition but to raise your capacity to meet it. If you want to lead at your best without burning out, this conversation will give you a new way to think about your life, your energy and what high performance really requires.
