    How to Prevent Burnout with Psychologist Guy Winch

    In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with psychologist and bestselling author Guy Winch to talk about burnout, stress, and why working harder is not always the answer. Guy explains how overwork can quietly hurt your performance, your health, and your relationships, even when it feels like you are doing what success demands. He shares why stress follows people home, why rumination is not the same as problem-solving, and why rest alone is not enough if you are not actually recovering. They also get into the hidden signs of burnout, the difference between rest and recharge, how leaders can better support stressed teams, and what high performers need to understand if work has started to take over their lives. It’s a practical conversation for anyone trying to build, lead, and perform at a high level without running themselves into the ground. Want more Matt in your life? Of course you do!

    Robinhood Co-Founder Baiju Bhatt on Building Big Ideas That Sound Crazy

    In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with Baiju Bhatt, co-founder of Robinhood, to talk about entrepreneurship, big ideas, and what it really takes to build something ambitious.

He explains why easy ideas are not actually easier, why dreaming small usually leads to building small, and how founders have to keep iterating until they find what works. They also get into what Baiju is building now with Cowboy Space Corporation (formerly Aetherflux), a company focused on creating a power grid in space and using satellites to beam solar energy and eventually power AI infrastructure. He shares why space has been a lifelong interest, why he wanted to take on another huge challenge, and how he thinks about risk, innovation, and building for the future.Follow Baiju and his company Cowboy Space Corps here: https://www.instagram.com/realbaijubhatt/?hl=en#https://www.instagram.com/cowboyspacecorp/?hl=enhttps://x.com/BaijuBhatthttps://x.com/CowboySpaceCorp Want more Matt in your life?
