15 - Liberation From Burnout with Azad John-Salimi

In this episode, Azad and I talk about all things burnout.  He shares his own experience as someone who burned out twice, and exited and re-entered his profession twice.  He talks about his passion for helping others who are experiencing burnout to take the steps needed to reclaim their dignity and liberate themselves from the cycles of burnout.  We also talk about workplace culture and the various ways it is causing so many people to burn out.  Azad also shares some great tips on burnout prevention, rest and recovery, and meditation.
