You're Not Burned Out - You're Bored Out: Mitch Matthews on Reigniting Your Fire
What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t burnout at all?
Success coach, keynote speaker, and Dream Think Do host Mitch Matthews joins Mick Hunt for a conversation about purpose, clarity,
action, and the hidden problem affecting many high achievers: being “bored out.”
Mitch shares how a bad-fit corporate promotion began extinguishing his fire, how his wife helped him recognize the work he was born to do, and how he built a coaching and speaking business that surpassed his
income in just five months. He also explains why a small injection of novelty can restore energy, why dreaming bigger must be paired with experimentation, and how to move from comparison and fear toward learning and love.
In this episode:
• Mitch’s “Because”: loving God, loving his family, and encouraging encouragers
• The clues that revealed his calling
• Why action separates great from exceptional
• Building an “authority bridge” without blowing up your life
• The difference between burnout and being bored out
• How 15 minutes of novelty can reignite your fire
• Why successful people struggle to name their own dreams
• Giving yourself permission to experiment
• Reframing imposter syndrome as “winner’s syndrome”
• The five-word prayer that changed how Mitch entered important rooms
