Excerpt from a Jesse Ferrell YouTube video of a live life-coaching seminar addressing burnout. The coach prompts audience members to name consequences (nervous breakdown, depression, lethargy, wasted time/money) and uses a prop—taking and apparently destroying participants' money—to dramatize how burnout ‘burns up’ time, energy, and resources. The passage is interactive and informal, with named audience participants contributing.
