How Can You Cope with Burnout as an Agency Leader?
topline infoRmation
“In early 2024, I got home from work one day and I just broke down crying to my wife.”
Paddy Moogan had run his agency for ten years, but it was never a smooth ride. From the outside, it looked like a successful agency story. Inside, it was a slow burn: “I really underestimated the compounding effect of lots and lots of relatively small things going wrong.”
Eventually, he stepped away – not in a blaze of glory, or in a dream exit. Instead, it was a self-preservation move.
In this session, Paddy shares what actually led to burnout – the warning signs he missed, the emotional load leaders carry, and how the agency business model can quietly grind you down.
