is like it's kind of like running on a treadmill.

When you get on the treadmill, it's exciting.

You're getting those reward chemicals.

This is really fun.

And what happens eventually, though, is like those reward chemicals subside, but you're still sprinting because you crank this treadmill because you could because it's exciting.

And I think burnout is when, you know, you're still putting in the same input, but you're not getting –

the reward chemicals for it.

And so one thing I really try and do is like keep my treadmill at like a jogging pace.

Like I can do this.

There was a time in the YouTube algorithm where like they wanted if you did daily vlogs, that was like what you need to do to be successful.

And I was like, I can't do that.

I can do like one a month.

And I've just kind of like tortoise in the hair this thing.

And now 14 years later, you have got like 72 million subscribers.

And still going.

And still going and still stoked.

And like I'm as far away from burnout as I've ever been.

That's an interesting point.

I wonder if there's a correlation to like really successful human beings who can like handle like a lot of complexity.

Like certain brains probably can just handle it better, right?
