Don’t Lose Yourself Chasing Asymmetric Returns
A live conversation about spotting the early signs of burnout while you’re still performing.
About this event
Most founders only call it burnout once something has already broken — health, a relationship, a key decision, or their ability to care about the work at all.
But the early signals show up much earlier than that. In how you sleep. In how you react to small problems. In how present you feel in meetings. In how quickly your patience runs out with people you actually care about.
This session is about that earlier window — when things look fine from the outside, you’re still performing, and yet something in your system is telling you that the current pace and load are not sustainable.
Yannick is joined by a special guest — a performance psychologist, coach, or operator who works directly with founders to keep them in the game while they chase asymmetric outcomes. Guest details will be confirmed shortly.
We’ll cover:
Subtle indicators that your operating mode is starting to cost more than it returns
How chronic pressure changes your decision‑making and relationships over time
Simple, realistic adjustments founders can make without needing a three‑hour morning routine
How to keep pursuing asymmetric outcomes without losing your health, relationships, or sense of self in the process
Then we open the floor. You don’t need to be at a breaking point to get value from this — curiosity is enough.
Format: 25‑min conversation + 15‑min live Q&A
Who this is for: Founders, CEOs, and operators who want to pursue serious outcomes without quietly burning through themselves in the process.
