Web3 and blockchain founders and execs: Are you pushing innovation at the cost of your own health?

The relentless pressure to stay ahead while "laying the rails for the future" creates a unique burnout cycle. As Vita Veda co-founder Oscar Sundman puts it:
💬 "You'll have a million problems until you have a health problem. Then you only have one."

In this episode of #SkinInTheGamewithDebbieGo, I sit down with Ciara Nicole and Oscar Sundman. After personal loss led them to become "resilience architects," their mission is to bridge Eastern philosophy with Western innovation—creating a new leadership blueprint where peak performance and well-being are inseparable.

You’ll walk away with their proven methods to:
✅ Master your most finite resource: Apply the “Time Design” approach to align your focus with what truly matters.
✅ Break the stop-start cycle for good: Use their “burnout breaker” ritual to reset anxiety and reclaim momentum in minutes.
✅ Lead from an integrated life: Move beyond the “personal vs. professional” split and build a holistic foundation where success and satisfaction fuel each other.

"You have a million problems until you have a health problem. Then, you only have one."

In the race to build the future, Web3 founders and tech leaders are often the first to break—not just systems, but themselves. What’s the real cost of the "move fast and break things" culture?

On the latest episode of #SkinInTheGameWithDebbieGo, I sit down with Oscar Sundman and Ciara Nicole, co-founders of Vita Veda. We go beyond burnout clichés to discuss how they’re bridging Eastern philosophy with Western innovation to create a sustainable blueprint for leadership.

The highlight reel:
✅ Break the "stop-start" cycle and reclaim sustained creative momentum.
✅ Use breathwork and yoga as performance tools—far beyond self-care.
✅ Build holistic leadership as your true competitive advantage.

Leadership isn't just about what you build; it's about who you become while building it.
