  Heather Burns: Staying Ambitious by Doing Less

  Sep 4, 202641 minS1

  Heather Burns has built a life around ambition—but she’s learned that sustaining it doesn’t mean doing everything. A former U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot, Heather is now a Senior Vice President at Jefferies, as well as a mother of two, endurance athlete, and full Ironman finisher. In this episode, Heather shares how burnout after an Ironman helped shape her philosophy of “Less, Better.” We talk about career, motherhood, endurance sports, and the frameworks she uses to design a life that doesn’t ask her to compromise her ambition, but instead helps her sustain it.

  Tino Chapo: How Faith Sustains Passion

  Jul 13, 202642 minS1

  For 28 years, Tino Chapo has worked as Senior Lead Gang Specialist at Houston's Gang Prevention & Intervention Office—going directly into schools and communities across the nation's fourth-largest city to pull kids out of gang recruitment before it's too late, and to help the ones already caught up find a way back out. In this episode, Tino opens up about the true cost of that devotion: burying 14 kids he served, sitting with mothers who had no photos of their sons left, and learning—the hard way—how to build boundaries without losing his commitment to the mission. He shares how faith became the thing that sustained him through nearly three decades of trauma, and what finally told him it was time to step into his next chapter: pursuing his lifelong passion of being a barber. This is a conversation about passion fatigue, sustainable leadership, and what it really takes to stay in a calling for the long haul.
