Show Notes

Burnout in the city or balance in the mountains? The surprising lesson every leader needs to learn.

What Happened

Picture this: You’ve just had the time of your life skiing through the untouched powder of Jackson Hole. Adrenaline’s still coursing through you. The world feels alive, vibrant, right.

Now fast forward to a gray, drizzly Monday morning in London. You’re back at your desk in a high-rise, staring at the photos of your ski trip on your computer, wishing you were anywhere but there. That’s the moment Nash Billamoria realized something profound: climbing the corporate ladder wasn’t his mountain to summit.

Years later, Nash is helping founders and teams rediscover what he learned on that fateful day—how to balance ambition, purpose, and joy while building high-performance organizations. He calls it the Tricorn Company model and named it Re-Map. Where companies don’t just grow financially but thrive in well-being and social impact too.

Principle

Here’s the truth: Success isn’t about grinding yourself or your team into burnout. It’s about balance. Just like in the backcountry, leaders need to know when to push, when to pivot, and how to bring their team along for the ride.

In business, the stakes may not always be life-threatening, but the consequences of poor leadership are just as serious—disengaged teams, missed opportunities, and organizations that fizzle out instead of thriving.

Transition

Too often, leaders feel stuck. They focus so much on the numbers—hitting targets, securing funding, scaling up—that they forget the human side of leadership. This creates toxic environments, stifles innovation, and makes the path forward feel like a slog.
