    The Founder's Guide to Stopping Burnout & Building a Startup Apr 24, 2025
    Show notes

    Burnout quietly ends more startups than bad markets do. Host Jörn “Joe” Menninger sits down with psychotherapist and consultant Imre Marton Remenyi for a practical masterclass on spotting burnout early, protecting your team, and building a startup culture that scales without breaking the people inside it.

    Full article, links, and transcript:
    Read the full episode notes on Startuprad.io

    Why this episode matters: Founders and operators run hot by default, and the ones who last treat burnout as an operational risk rather than a personal failing. This conversation turns that mindset into concrete early-warning signs and habits leaders can install before the damage is done.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why burnout is a systemic startup risk, not just an individual one
    • The early warning signs founders and managers routinely miss
    • Practical habits to protect your team’s energy while scaling
    • Moving past surface-level “work-life balance” to a culture that lasts
    • What a psychotherapist sees in high-growth founders — and how they recover
