High Performance Is Broken — Here’s the New Model for Founders | The Natural Resilience Podcast EP14

from The Natural Resilience Podcast · host Natural Resilience

Most founders don’t burn out because they’re choose to overwork. They burn out because they’ve never been taught how to win sustainably and understand the core of high performance which is self leadership and awareness. In today’s solo episode, I share why I created The Fit Founders Club, the recurring patterns I’ve seen coaching hundreds of founders, leaders and business owners over the last five years, and why health, wealth and freedom must become the new metrics of high performance. For too long, entrepreneurship has rewarded status over longevity, and performance at the cost of your relationships, physical health and mental wellbeing. This episode is the start of a project that will become a blueprint for business leaders and founders who want to grow their business without destroying themselves in the process. 🚀In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why high performance has become unsustainable for modern founders. The real reasons mental, physical and emotional burnout is rising. What I’ve learnt coaching founders, CEOs and teams across Northern Ireland and beyond. The origin story of the Fit Founders Club. The 3 pillars: Health • Wealth • Freedom. What a healthier, wealthier, more resilient founder actually looks like. How this 12-month programme blends wellbeing, leadership and business strategy The mistakes founders repeatedly make — and how to avoid them.💡 The Fit Founders Club — 12-Month Programme for Leaders A hybrid community for founders who want to: ✔ Build a healthier nervous system ✔ Improve energy, fitness & resilience ✔ Grow a profitable, systemised business ✔ Strengthen relationships, focus and leadership ✔ Create genuine founder freedom ✔ Surround themselves with ambitious, values-led peers Includes: • Quarterly summits • Monthly in-person meetups • Breakthrough workshops • Founder diagnostics & personalised roadmaps • Access to guest experts & accountability 👉 For early access or to apply: 🔥 Connect With Me LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ciaran-may Instagram: @naturalresilience Website: naturalresilience.co.uk
