In this video, I break down how to gamify stress so you can scale your business without burning out your brain, your body, or your relationships.

As entrepreneurs, we pile stress on ourselves constantly—training hard, building fast, and trying to be high-performers in every area of life.

The problem? Stress without recovery will wreck you—and eventually, your business too.

So I created a simple daily framework that tracks both your stress inputs and recovery outputs—so you can stay in the game longer and operate at your best.

Here’s what I cover:

• My personal wake-up call: tension headaches, burnout, and overload
• The 6 major stressors (hormesis) that drain your recovery bank
• The 6 recovery methods that help you earn back your energy
• A scoring system you can track in 60 seconds per day
• Why most entrepreneurs overtrain mentally, physically, and emotionally—and how to fix it

📊 The Rule: Every stressor = –2 Every recovery = +1 Balance daily. Win weekly.
