What if your success is secretly fueled by fear?
In this episode of the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast, host Doug C. Brown speaks with Deekron Krikorian—performance coach and founder of The Healthy High Performer—about the emotional patterns driving high achievers to burnout.
You’ll learn:
✅ How fear of failure shows up in your work
✅ Why overcompensation erodes real confidence
✅ What identity-based burnout looks like
✅ How to rebuild energy and performance from the inside out
Deekron shares his personal journey from high-achieving CPA to burned-out founder—and how he now helps leaders sustain success without sacrificing themselves in the process.
