Burnout is why Toronto radio host John Moore almost quit entirely, not just cut back, this time. Instead of walking away, he negotiated something most people never think to ask their boss for, and it changed how much of his life actually belongs to him now.

John says this round of burnout was not the same as the one that sidelined him years ago. This time it came down to getting older, and being honest about how much of his remaining time he was still willing to give away.

What he actually asked for, and what his boss said yes to, is not what you would expect from someone who nearly handed in his notice. John talks about the exact moment on day one when the shift finally felt different, and why it has him rethinking what the rest of this career even looks like.
