In this episode, we explore the work of Neville Green, also known as "The Burnout Prevention Guy," founder of Haus of Ananda, a social-impact venture focused on stress management and the improvement of overall well-being through a trauma-informed, holistic approach. In conversation, Monique T. Marshall finds out what it means to build a venture that collaborates with marginalized groups, professionals, and institutional partners to address the systemic and lived realities of chronic stress. Hear how Haus of Ananda evolves from a virtual wellness group into a space of care—supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ individuals, as well as high-achieving professionals and caregivers—through education, somatic practices, and programming that meets people where they are—and asks, what happens when we build chosen families that not only acknowledge burnout, but actively create space for rest, healing, and collective resilience? This thoughtful conversation highlights the importance of listening to lived experience, centering care and connection as the foundation for change, and the powerful role entrepreneurs can play in shaping healthier, more sustainable ways of living and working.

An engineer and lifelong problem solver with more than two decades of experience working in high-pressure environments across nonprofit executive leadership, corporations, and startups; he operates at the intersection of public health, health policy, business operations, and organizational strategy. He brings a practical, evidence-based approach to complex human and organizational challenges. Known as The Burnout Prevention Guy, Neville helps high-achieving professionals, leaders, and caregivers perform under pressure without burning out. His perspective is grounded in lived experience, including years of leadership under constrained resources, caregiving for ailed and aging parents, mentoring at-risk youth, and more than 17 years as a yoga, mindfulness, and life coach. These experiences shaped his belief that burnout is predictable, preventable, and solvable when the whole system is addressed. That belief led him to found Haus of Ananda, a trauma-informed wellness collective that became the foundation for his current work. As he prepares for a 2026 relaunch under The Burnout Prevention Guy brand, Neville is focused on helping people build sustainable performance, clarity, and resilience without sacrificing their health or ambition.
