Imperfect Leaders Podcast
It's like Harvard Business School meets the Mayo Clinic.
Hard work is a leadership virtue in America, but it takes a heavy mental health toll - especially on high performers.
...chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, lack of sleep...
...and physiological challenges with the heart, brain, hormones, cellular activity, and the gut biome...
...which in turn, cause even more mental health issues.
Our private podcast is an immersive safe space for high performers to learn from top experts and mitigate health risk.
