    Successful on Paper, Exhausted in Private: Why High-Performing Leaders Are Burning Out, and What Actually Works with Jahmaal Marshall

    Senior leaders, C-suite executives, and business owners are succeeding at unprecedented levels—yet many are silently battling stress, burnout, anxiety, and disordered boundaries. In this powerful episode, Jahmaal Marshall speaks directly to high-performing leaders who feel exhausted behind the scenes and have normalized overwhelm as “the cost of success.” This is not a conversation about productivity hacks or time management. It’s an invitation to uncover the subconscious beliefs driving overfunctioning, chronic stress, and emotional depletion, and to introduce a sustainable, measurable path forward. If you’ve ever thought: “I can’t slow down-too many people depend on me.” “Rest feels uncomfortable or unproductive.” “I’m successful, but I’m not at peace.” This episode was created for you.

Armed with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania and a background in Division 1 Lacrosse, Evan’s journey is a story of resilience, strategic thinking, and an unyielding pursuit of excellence. From tackling unpredictable markets to coaching a diverse clientele, including NASCAR pit crews, athletes, executives, and Wall Street pros, Evan lives by the belief that “pressure is a privilege.” In his role as a Senior Performance Coach, Evan brings cutting-edge techniques rooted in modern psychoanalysis and neuroscience to guide clients in high-pressure industries toward peak performance. Beyond the financial world, Evan extends his coaching experience to mentoring, showcasing his dedication to developing leadership, communication, and relationship skills.
