Episode Synopsis

You’re not burned out because you’re weak. You’re burned out because you’re drowning in promises you never should’ve made.  In this Voice of Growth episode, Manny Teran breaks down the real reason high performers stay overloaded: we keep saying “yes” to protect our image, to please people, to chase every opportunity — and we call it hustle. It’s not hustle. It’s erosion.  We cover:  The 12 hidden drivers of overcommitment (ego, validation, FOMO, “firefighter” identity, people-pleasing, calendar lies, and more)  Why “being busy” is not a badge — it’s a leak  How to install a 5-part system to protect your time like an asset:  Strategy guardrails  Capacity math (ban the word “hope”)  Commitment rules and exit ramps  Calendar design that actually ships work  Energy rhythm and stillness  Then we go deeper: identity.  “I make very few, very clean promises — and I keep them.”  This episode is how you move from chaos to compounding. From “I’ll get to it” to “it’s shipped.” From impressing people today to building something that lasts.  Listen now, cut one “fake yes,” and start taking your time back. 👊 Subscribe for more Voice of Growth — Mastering the Mind and the Market.
