LISTEN: When Hustle Starts to Hurt

By

What happens when the same relentless drive that fuels success begins to quietly unravel the person behind it?

Emmy- and Grammy-winning film editor Sammy Dane ’15 reveals how entrepreneurial leadership isn’t just about building a career. It’s also about navigating obsession, burnout, and the courage to reset.

In this eighth episode of Season 2 of Babson’s podcast, “From Problems to Possibilities: Entrepreneurial Leadership in Action,” Dane’s story reframes ambition as both a strength and a risk, from walking 5 miles home in tears at dawn to trusting his instincts over security. In the end, leadership isn’t just about shaping stories on screen, it’s about learning when to rewrite your own.

The episode is available on Apple, Spotify, and Amazon, and you can listen below or watch the episode on YouTube:
