From Burnout to Energy Coach: How to Sustain High Performance
- Episode #347
What happens when a successful CTO collapses under chronic stress? Eric Reiners shares his journey from burnout to becoming a performance coach helping executives manage energy, not just time. Discover how honoring your biology creates sustainable success.

Eric Reiners is a CTO, executive coach, and professional speaker who is obsessed with making our working lives better. He held senior roles at high-growth tech companies, where he launched award-winning products and responded to high-profile cybersecurity attacks. That high-stress world inspired his Corporate Athlete Program, which helps professionals train, perform, and recover like pro athletes. Eric is the author of The Energy Edge, a practical guide to feel great, stress less, and love your work again. It blends his leadership experience with evidence-based practices from neuroscience, biology, and sports science.
He is a certified High Flow Coach and Ashtanga yoga instructor, with a master’s in applied neuroscience from King’s College London. When he is not writing about this stuff, he is practicing it. You might find him playing in the woods with his kids and dog or making a mess in the woodshop, usually forgetting to eat lunch.
