## Resource

Many of the moral failures we hear about—and countless more that never make the news—can often be traced back to two forces: isolation and exhaustion. In today’s episode, we unpack why these two quiet pressures are so dangerous, how they sneak up on even the strongest leaders, and what it really takes to build a life and leadership that can withstand them.
