About Cyrus
You’re probably here because you want to know more about me. But before the awards and accomplishments show up, it matters that you know this.
The success you see now is decades in the making. And so is the burnout I teach from.
I’m not going to lie—changing my life wasn’t glamorous.
It was exhausting.
I spent years carrying too much responsibility, trying to help everyone else, and forgetting to help myself. Then I learned how powerful a real pause can be.
Being trusted by places like NASA and MIT showed me something important. even the best high performers struggle in silence.
That is why I created Burned Out, But Built for More and Going to Grow Burnout Recovery Center.
You don’t need to be fearless.
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You just need space to breathe and a path to follow.
I hope the tools on this website, the episodes of The Built for More Podcast, and the experiences at the center help you make the changes you’re ready to make in your life.
Change is possible.
And you don’t have to carry it alone.
With encouragement,
Cyrus Ausar
“Being recruited by Barack Obama and trusted to guide high performers was something I could never imagine. That’s proof that you can grow beyond burnout and become the person pressure tried to hide.”
