What is Rich's definition of burnout?

Burnout is where you're there, but you're not there. You're at work in body but not in mind.

Here are a few of the things you'll hear about in this episode:

• How a company that focuses on joy works

• How to avoid the cycle of overwork that leads to burnout

• Why you should look at systems rather than people when things go wrong

About Rich:

Menlo Innovations CEO Richard Sheridan became disillusioned in the middle of his career in the chaotic technology industry. He had an all-consuming thought: things can be better. Much better. He had to find a way. Why couldn't a workplace be filled with camaraderie, human energy, creativity, and productivity?

Ultimately, Rich co-founded Menlo Innovations in 2001 to end human suffering in the workplace. Menlo's unique approach to custom software creation is so surprisingly different that 3,000 people a year travel from around the world just to see how they do it.
