Learn about Cyrus Ausar's incredible rise from homeless to coaching, speaking, or partnering with our greatest companies.

Experienced homelessness for over a year while living in Los Angeles, California, shaping his deep empathy and resilience.
Dedicated to bridging the gap between complexity and clarity — transforming challenging topics into simple, relatable lessons anyone can apply.
Partnered with corporations to create a STEM event that reached over 26,000 students, with his company at the forefront of helping youth overcome internal struggles and coaching teachers on burnout recovery.
Over the past five years, built an award-winning mental health café, opened a flagship burnout recovery center, delivered keynote speeches at more than 10 colleges from NYU to FAU, coached major corporations and school staff on overcoming burnout, and helped raise over $6 million for charitable causes.

Most Surprising Speaking Engagement:
Being invited to speak at the Annual Mayor's Breakfast, where I shared my perspective on how we could work together to improve the city of Massillon. It was surreal — I remembered being a little boy riding my bike through those same streets, imagining what could change.

My Full Bio.

I’m a Burnout Recovery Coach, award-winning humanitarian, and author with over 25 years of experience helping people rebuild from burnout and find purpose on the other side of pressure.

I specialize in working with professionals, especially teachers, healthcare workers, service providers, and leaders, who feel stretched thin, emotionally drained, or stuck in survival mode. Through relatable storytelling, clear strategy, and a deep understanding of mindset, I help people overcome burnout in ways that actually stick.

As the author of Burned Out, But Built for More, I’ve combined personal insight with real-world tools to guide thousands through the burnout recovery process. My speaking engagements and resources have reached professionals, students, and organizations nationwide, and my books have become foundational tools for those ready to reset their lives with clarity and confidence.

I’m also the founder of Going to Grow Burnout Recovery Center in Massillon, Ohio, our flagship wellness studio and content hub. The center offers immersive massage sessions, coaching, and classes, serving as a physical proof of concept for the work I share globally.

Over the years, I’ve raised over 6 million dollars for nonprofits, authored three transformational books and two powerful affirmation workbooks for youth, and spoken at more than 300 schools across the country. I’ve been featured on Fox 8, CBS, and Channel 3, and was honored with Cyrus Ausar Day by the City of Massillon. My community work has earned me the United Way DeHoff Emerging Philanthropist Award, the Daymond Mumford Humanitarian Award, and a spot on Stark County’s 20 Under 40 list.

People work with me because I’ve lived what I teach. I understand what burnout feels like, and I’ve built the tools to break through it. Whether you're reading my books, watching a keynote, or sitting in one of our wellness chairs, my mission is the same:

To help you grow through what you're going through, so you can rise, rebuild, and reclaim your peace.
