Jessica Lattif built a successful career in tech, rising from a support role to senior engineering management at companies including Meta, Salesforce and Stripe. But behind the title and compensation, work was taking a toll on her health and sense of self.

In this episode, Jessica shares how to recognize when a job is asking too much of you and what you can do when quitting is not an immediate option. She explains why documenting health concerns matters, how to explore workplace accommodations and leave benefits, and how “radical prioritization” can help you reclaim your time and energy.

She also offers practical ways to set boundaries, advocate for greater flexibility and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have nothing to do with your career.

For years, Minhdoan Ngo did what many of us are taught to do: work hard, achieve more and keep moving toward the next goal.

He served in the Marine Corps, built a successful corporate career, invested in real estate and became a provider for his family. But eventually, he had to confront a harder question: Why weren’t all of those external measures of success creating the fulfillment he expected?

In this episode of Tripoint Conversations, Minhdoan, founder of Contagious Healer, shares what led him to stop looking outward and start paying attention to what was happening internally.

We talk about the pressure to perform, the expectations we carry from childhood, why we sometimes avoid uncomfortable emotions by fixing, explaining or shutting down, and how those patterns can follow us into our closest relationships.

More importantly, Minhdoan shares practical ways to start recognizing those patterns in your own life, including how to identify when you’re triggered, become more aware of what you’re actually feeling and respond differently in the moment.

It’s a conversation about what happens when achieving more stops being the answer, and the work of figuring out what actually is.

When a team is struggling, the usual response is to add something: another training program, a new process, more meetings, or another tool. But what if the problem is not a lack of effort or ability? What if capable people are being slowed down by competing priorities, unclear expectations, and leaders who are too involved in the day-to-day work?

In this episode, Jimmy Burroughes shares what he learned as a British Army officer, corporate general manager, and now founder of JBL High Performance. He explains how leaders can give their teams greater clarity, make better use of the expertise around them, and recognize when being helpful has turned them into the bottleneck.

Jimmy also shares practical ways to improve communication, decide what truly deserves your time, and determine what should be stopped, slowed down, or swapped when something new is added. You’ll also learn about a free assessment you can take to find out whether you are creating a bottleneck, or send to your boss if you suspect the problem may be coming from somewhere else.

The conversation also covers the early warning signs of burnout, why resilience cannot fix an unsustainable workload, and how AI may help leaders spend more time developing people and making better decisions.
