“Ideally, you want to notice when it's the feather and then make adjustments, and not have to wait until you experience the full-blown pain of the dump truck.”- Jonny Miller
The Story Behind This Song
Jonny Miller coaches tech professionals on what he calls 'Nervous System Mastery.' On Lenny's podcast, he explained that burnout follows a predictable escalation — feather, brick, dump truck — and that most people don't notice until the dump truck arrives. He taught Lenny a live 4-4-8 breathing exercise that left Lenny saying 'I feel extremely calm. I should do this every podcast episode.'
