The cost of running hot, all the time.

You run on sustained stress, constant context switching, and high-stakes decisions. That doesn't just feel foggy. It's measurable decay in clarity, impulse control, and judgment.

higher likelihood of mental health conditions vs. general population.

↓ 40%

executive function decline under chronic stress: slower decisions, worse working memory.

They’re still performing - just without visibility into what’s degrading underneath.

You're not the problem.
Your system is uninstrumented.

You've built systems for everything that matters in your business – revenue, funnels, uptime, risk.

But you still run your most critical system – your mind – on gut feel and occasional crises.

Burnout isn't weakness. It's an unmanaged, uninstrumented system running at redline.
