Building a business is hard. Talking about it honestly is harder.
John Glover
The Burnout Files is hosted by an experienced investigative and news journalist whose career spans some of the UK's most respected and widely-read publications, including The Times, The Mail, Business Insider, The Scottish Sun, and The Scottish Daily Express.
The Burnout Files is the long-form conversation series where entrepreneurs go beyond the highlight reel, examining the failures, the mental toll, and the moments that nearly broke them. No spin. No silver linings forced. Just the unfiltered truth about what it really takes to lead, build, and recover.
Because the most important business conversations are the ones we're not having.

"You can't get the biscuits without the blisters" | Danny Campbell, Hoko Design | The Burnout Files
In this episode of The Burnout Files, host John Glover sits down with Danny Campbell, founder of Hoko Design, architect, and judge on BBC Scotland's Home of the Year.
Danny started Hoko because he became obsessed with one idea: that home is where the most important moments of your life happen, and architects have been ignoring the people who live in them.
Guests share the human side of leadership:
Marketing missteps that nearly sank their companies
The pressure of societal expectations and "hustle culture."
The pressure of having to repay investors
Mindset struggles and burnout
The pain of choosing the wrong partners.
