Action 2 Impact podcast: From Nearly Quitting To Leading Rotary with Even Burell

Send us Fan Mail We catch up with Evan Burrell for a third conversation, from his lowest point of depression and nearly quitting Rotary to finishing a tough year as district governor. We talk honestly about criticism, leadership pressure, member experience, and why he still believes in showing up for the bigger mission. • Evan’s path from burnout and clinical depression to re-engaging with Rotary • How connection and belonging bring leaders back from the edge • Becoming district governor and discovering what the role really demands • Handling bullying, harassment, financial issues, and club conflict with process and care • The gap between a public persona and the serious work of leadership • Why Rotary critics exist and how to respond without losing your center • Membership retention as an experience problem, not just a recruitment problem • Tradition as a foundation not a handbrake • What Evan wants next: speaking, hands-on projects, and being a “changemaker” As usual, tell friends about it, be them other Rotarians, other friends.
