The Executive Who Lost Everything to Burnout — And the Science That Brought Him Back

George Haymaker III looked like a success from every angle. Thirty-five years as an entrepreneur, building companies, leading teams — and underneath all of it a crisis building so quietly that by the time it surfaced, everything collapsed at once. What he found on the other side of that breakdown wasn't a productivity hack or a morning routine. It was neuroscience — the actual mechanics of how a high-performing brain gets rewired by chronic stress and how it can be deliberately retrained. Geoff Sargeant brings the clinical framework to that conversation — and together they're mapping something most executive development programs never touch: what's actually happening inside the mind of a leader who is performing on the outside while quietly falling apart within. If you've ever kept going when everything inside you was signaling stop, this episode will finally explain why — and what it actually takes to change it.
