Be Uncomfortable | Jonathan Bland, Co-Founder of Omni Lab

MBA student, Bogotá expat, and SaaS founder, Jonathan Bland lives for challenge, until his body calls timeout. He and Jolie explore stacking an MBA on a Colombian move, hitting burnout’s limit bar, and why listening to “early whispers” of fatigue saves careers. Key Takeaways • Stacking challenges is thrilling, until it isn’t. • Burnout whispers become screams if ignored. • Seasonal “push then plateau” cycles keep ambition healthy. • Listen to your body louder than your calendar. • Community wins multiply when ego exits the room.
