It just has this metric that keeps moving.

And for me, I just dialed all the way down to this.

We answer the question, what are you worth in our culture with a number?

It's insanity.

What are you worth?

What's your worth?

What's your business worth?

What's your net worth?

And the answer to the question, what are you worth, is never a number.

It's who do you love and who loves you, period.

And we've just gotten out of order.

We're trying to hack our way to this sensation, this feeling.

And so I guess how you know you're there is eventually your body will start to shut you down.

For me, I had to take chemicals to wake up.

I was loaded up on a thousand milligrams of caffeine just to get out the door.

And then I had to take chemicals to go to sleep.

And then I had to take chemicals to have fun.

When you start having to augment your just human existence, basic human ups and downs, that's when your body's telling you, hey, I'm about to shut the door on this whole thing.

And eventually your body will say, I quit, I'm out.

And that's burnout.
