Summary
What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t burnout at all? Success coach, keynote speaker, and Dream Think Do host Mitch Matthews joins Mick Hunt for a conversation about purpose, clarity, action, and the hidden problem affecting many high achievers: being “bored out.” Mitch shares how a bad-fit corporate promotion began extinguishing his fire, how his wife helped him recognize the work he was born to do, and how he built a coaching and speaking business that surpassed his income in just five months. He also explains why a small injection of novelty can restore energy, why dreaming bigger must be paired with experimentation, and how to move from comparison and fear toward learning and love. In this episode: • Mitch’s “Because”: loving God, loving his family, and encouraging encouragers • The clues that revealed his calling • Why action separates great from exceptional • Building an “authority bridge” without blowing up your life • The difference between burnout and being bored out • How 15 minutes of novelty can reignite your fire • Why successful people struggle to name their own dreams • Giving yourself permission to experiment • Reframing imposter syndrome as “winner’s syndrome” • The five-word prayer that changed how Mitch entered important rooms LISTENER OFFER / FEATURED PROMOTION FREE TRAINING — Make Time for Your Next Chapter Visit: https://www.mitchmatthews.com/time Use code: MICK CHAPTERS 00:00 - Meet Mitch Matthews 01:39 - Mitch’s “Because” and encouraging encouragers 08:39 - The bad-fit job that extinguished his fire 14:31 - Building an authority bridge without blowing up your life 16:34 -Burnout vs. “bored out” 23:13 - Dream bigger and act on it 27:08 - Clarity, permission, and experimentation 34:27 - The room that transformed comparison into learning 40:54 - Th…
