<p>What happens when the people dedicated to helping others begin to burn out themselves?</p><p>In this episode of DBA Chronicles, we sit down with Dr. Jeff Frey, entrepreneur, healthcare executive, educator, researcher, and author, to explore one of the most pressing leadership challenges of our time: sustaining the people whocarry the weight of service, care, and impact. </p><p>Drawing from more than three decades of experience across healthcare, technology, higher education, and entrepreneurship, Jeff shares how his doctoral journeyevolved into a mission to understand why so many high-performing leaders burn out and what organizations can do differently. </p><p><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></p><ul><li>Why burnout is often a systems problem and not an individual failure </li><li>The unique vulnerability of healthcare workers, nonprofit leaders, educators, counselors, and other helping professionals </li><li>The concept of sustainable leadership and finding the "Goldilocks zone" between overcommitment and disengagement </li><li>How emotional intelligence contributes to leadership longevity </li><li>Why healthy leaders create healthier organizations, stronger engagement, and better outcomes </li><li>The value of the DBA as a bridge between research and real-world impact </li><li>How the Further Faster framework emerged from years of research and lived experience </li></ul><p>One of the most powerful insights from this conversation is Jeff's observation that helping professionals often align their personal mission so closely with their professional mission that the very passion that drives them can also become thesource of burnout.
