How do you build multiple businesses, partnerships, and creative projects without completely burning out?

In this episode of This with Krish, I pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to juggle full-time careers, startups in different stages, equity partnerships, real estate investing, a podcast, a clothing line, a nonprofit — and still protect your marriage, your faith, and your sanity.

This episode is a continuation of yesterday’s conversation, “The American Dream Didn’t Die,” where we talked about how opportunity has changed. Today, we go deeper into the part no one glamorizes: the pressure, the exhaustion, the systems, and the mindset required to build without losing yourself.

We talk about: • Why burnout isn’t about working hard — it’s about bad design • How my wife Shannon and I stay aligned while building multiple ventures • The difference between being busy and building momentum • Why owning everything at once is a fast track to exhaustion • How to reorder your life without quitting the dream

This isn’t hustle culture. This is sustainable ambition.

If you’re building something big — or thinking about it — this episode is for you.

What happened to the American Dream?

For decades, it meant stability, ownership, and the promise that hard work would eventually lead to a better life. Today, it feels faster, louder, and far more exhausting — leaving many people wondering if it’s still achievable without burning out or compromising their values.

In this long-form episode of This with Krish, we explore how the American Dream didn’t disappear — it changed. Through personal stories, humor, and honest reflection, Krish breaks down what the dream used to be, what it’s become, and how people are quietly building meaningful, stable lives outside the noise.

This isn’t about politics or hype. It’s about responsibility, alignment, patience, and redefining success on your own terms.

If you’ve ever felt behind, burned out, or unsure what you’re actually working toward — this episode is for you.

This weekend, we took a real family roadtrip—13 hours, 840 miles each way, with a three-year-old and a seven-year-old. No highlight reel. No Pinterest fantasy. Just real parenting, real chaos, real memories—and a system that actually works.

In this episode of This with Krish, we break down how to survive (and actually enjoy) a long family roadtrip, including:

• Why most roadtrip stress is avoidable
• How planning starts 48 hours before you leave
• Snack strategy (because snacks are leverage, not food)
• The science behind kid meltdowns and how to prevent them
• How to use screens without guilt—and without overdoing it
• Why movement matters more than entertainment
• What really happens hour by hour on a 13-hour drive

We also dive into real stats and research on why families still choose roadtrips, how shared travel experiences impact kids long-term, and why memories are made in the messy middle—not the perfect moments.

If you’re a parent planning a roadtrip, thinking about one, or just need reassurance that you’re not alone—this episode is for you.
