Working Hard vs. Trying Hard: Burnout, Branding & Building a Business That Lasts with Asia Dore
Burnout isn’t just about doing too much—sometimes it’s about doing it in the wrong way. In this episode of the Burnout-Proof Podcast, I sit down with brand strategist Asia Dore to unpack the powerful difference between working hard and trying hard—and why that shift matters if you want to build a sustainable business.
We dive into Asia’s journey from burned-out photographer to brand strategist, why passion won’t protect you from burnout, and how a strong brand strategy can act as your North Star through every pivot, decision, and season of business. Whether you’re a solopreneur, side hustler, or even climbing the corporate ladder, this conversation will help you rethink how you’re showing up—and how to do it without burning out.

Why I Worked on Vacation—and Why That’s Not a Problem
