Great read Ben and I think your journey and choices are making this a better place. I think you’re onto something re: effects of high levels of adrenaline exposure.
I’ve had the privilege of spending time with Campo over the past year. What a great bloke. Good luck with your venture/adventure!
Noble cause or chasing excitement - why can't it be both? Pursuing your purpose in a way which motivates and excites you is surely what we're all trying to achieve.
It's worth being cautious about the stress factor though, because burnout often occurs in idealists who personalise both the highs and the inevitable lows of business.
I guess it can be and my decision to do a start up is probably a bit of both!
Thanks for the message and heads up too Esse. I've already experienced burnout once, but I've realised that only happened to me when I stopped making my health my top priority and I was hanging around a negative person.
But when I'm well fuelled, well rested, and surrounded by good people... I'm hot to trot and I make good progress towards achieving Alfred's mission.

Cheers Nick. Really appreciate the encouragement and totally agree re Campo. Great fella with a big heart!
