Why do so many high-capacity leaders—pastors, entrepreneurs, parents, and visionaries—burn out after they've achieved success?

In this powerful episode of The Deep Dive, Jose St. Phard sits down with pastor and leadership coach Benjamin Lundquist to expose the hidden cracks in even the most accomplished leaders. Together, they explore the difference between leading strong for a season and leading well for a lifetime.

What if your greatest leadership threat isn’t failure, but success without sustainability?

This conversation is raw, honest, and necessary.

You’ll learn:

• The silent saboteurs of long-term leadership
• Why identity and self-leadership are more important than talent
• How to recognize and address red flags before they take you out
• How to build boundaries that protect what matters most—your marriage, family, health, and soul
• The mindset shift that keeps your leadership sustainable and aligned with God's truth
• How to break spiritual agreements that limit your growth

If you're building something big—but feeling stretched thin—this is your call to realign, refocus, and lead from a place of wholeness.

This episode will challenge and equip you to not just lead better—but live better.
