Four Burners is based on the four burners theory; Imagine your life is represented by a stove top with four burners; each burner represents a different facet of your life. Family. Friends. Health. Career. If you have them all going at 100% all the time you are bound to burn out. The theory suggests if you want to be successful you need to turn one off. If you want to be super successful you need to turn off two. Which ones are you choosing? And which ones are you turning off? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's back. And our first guest to kick off the next chapter is Lauren Bonner. Lauren Bonner is a Sydney comedian who has had an incredible (And incredibly unlucky) few years. Cast in a show by a producer of Only Murders in the Building, filmed the whole series only for the studio to scrap it during the writers strike as part of some hard ball negotiations. But Lauren bounced back to get funding for a pilot from the ABC only for a dodgy manager to spend all the funds. We talk about this and heaps more. Give it a listen and go check out her MICF or Sydney Comedy Festival show if you get the chance.
