Tag: burnout

By all conventional measures, I was highly successful..but by 2004, I was struggling with addiction to alcohol.

I've always worked in startups, and the "we're a family with a higher mission" attitude often leads to a lack of personal life and a complete lack of balance.

My biggest mistake would be not speaking up enough earlier on in my career. It’s taken a while and I wish I’d learnt to do it sooner with confidence and conviction.

I had massive anxiety that everything else I was doing at work was shit. The biggest thing I learned was to make a decision early and stick to it.

This supposed imposter syndrome isn’t a result of your fragile brain, it’s the structural toxicity of many managers and work environments.
