Episode 50 | Chad Prevost | The Burnout Spiral: And the Personality That Drives It

Welcome to Episode 50! On this episode, I have Chad Prevost on the podcast as we talk about burnout and stress! Yes this is probably something you face as a leader!

Burnout isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a reality for millions of us. In this episode, we dive deep into Chad's book Shock Point: The Enneagram in Burnout and Stress, a groundbreaking book that moves beyond Enneagram basics and into the heart of why we’re unraveling under pressure.

We explore with Chad how our Enneagram type shapes our response to stress—whether we go numb, get anxious, overwork, or shut down—and how recognizing these patterns is the key to reversing burnout. With U.S. workers facing record levels of stress, and real-world consequences like missed work, strained relationships, and mental health decline, understanding ourselves isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Expect practical insights, powerful data, and actionable takeaways for every Enneagram type. Whether you’re a Type 3 pushing past your limits, a Type 6 stuck in worst-case-scenario mode, or a Type 9 avoiding conflict at the cost of your own energy—this episode offers a map for change.

It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding your design—and working with it, not against it.
