Battling Burnout...with a Sword | The IT Guy Show Ep. 7
Stress and burnout come for all of us at some point, and sometimes you do not even realize that is what is happening. I sat down with Jennifer and Bryan Horton, owners of Dull Made Daring, to talk about the warning signs, how to recover, and how to slash your anxiety away with an actual sword. Yes, a literal sword.
A few things worth carrying away from this one:
- You might not see it coming. We talked through the signs of burnout, because a lot of us miss them until we are already deep in it.
- Recovery is a practice, not a switch. Jennifer and Bryan shared real methods for coming back from stress rather than just pushing through it.
- Play matters more than we admit. From gaming to swinging a sword, we got into how physical, deliberate outlets help you get out of your own head.
It is a fun conversation about a serious thing, and I think a lot of us in tech needed to hear it.
