Most business podcasts tell you how to win.This one tells you what winning actually costs.The Burnout Files is a podcast about the side of entrepreneurship that doesn't make the highlight reel. The sleepless nights. The bad decisions. The years you carried the weight alone and told everyone you were fine. The moments you nearly walked away and the ones that made you stay.Every episode, host John Glover sits down with founders, leaders, and builders for the kind of honest conversation most people only have behind closed doors. About failure. About mental health. About what it really takes to build something from nothing and what it takes out of you.These aren't polished success stories. They're real ones. The kind with setbacks, sacrifices, and scars. The kind where the most important things get said right at the end, almost as an aside, when the guard finally comes down.Because the truth about building a business is rarely found in the highlight reel. It's found in the quiet mom
