Hanna Bauer, founder of Heartnomics, joins Jesse to talk about what she calls "Leadership Tachycardia" — what happens when leaders skip recovery and wonder why they're running on empty.

Hanna blends Six Sigma, systems thinking, and personal experience to help leaders align internally so they can execute externally. In this conversation: empowerment, fabricated stress, the difference between excellence and perfection, and why purpose and passion aren't the same thing.

Topics covered:

• Leadership Tachycardia and the cost of skipping recovery
• Separating facts from the stories we tell ourselves
• Excellence vs. perfection
• Purpose vs. passion
• Empowerment as a personal responsibility
