Creator Burnout Is So Bad One Started a Podcast

When I interview creators, I often ask them about the downsides of a career that often seems glamorous. They frequently answer: burnout and mental health. From mean comments to the unrelenting pressure to stay relevant and keep producing, it all takes a toll on creators’ wellbeing. 

The problem inspired Gil Kruger to launch a new weekly podcast called “Mentally Gil” in October, which features conversations with creators who talk about their mental health struggles, including anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD.
