How to buy back your time (and why you really should)

Delegating. Outsourcing. Reprioritizing. To the average person, these terms might give off a sense of passivity and lackluster effort. But in reality, business success doesn’t have to come at the expense of your freedom. Instead, successful entrepreneurs know how to pass along work that doesn’t inspire them, so they can focus on work that does. This week’s episode tackles the question, “Does free time have more impact on professional success than time spent working?” According to Wall Street Journal best-selling author Dan Martell, the answer is a resounding “yes.” According to Albert and Stephanie, there’s way more to this topic than meets the eye. Tune in to hear a spirited discussion about how our hosts view this concept, how they create separation between their work and personal lives, and what things they value most from their own free time. (Spoiler: There may be a middle ground for some people, but Albert and Stephanie are definitely sitting on different sides of this debate.)

The Three Things You MUST Have to Run a Successful Business

Passion. Time. Money. These are the pillars every business leader must juggle. Neglect one, and suddenly it feels like your business is in the driver's seat, leaving you scrambling in the backseat. We define these core categories as: the PASSION you hold for your work, the TIME you get away from the grind, and the MONEY you're accumulating on this entrepreneurial journey. In today’s episode, Albert and I dive into: ---The inevitable drain of passion without enough personal downtime. ---The trap of doing what you love without a sustainable financial payoff – though tweaking your financial expectations might offer a way out. ---The emptiness of chasing money for money's sake. ---How to craft a life that isn't at the mercy of every dollar. ---The case for time being the ultimate game-changer among the three categories.

How I Found Spirituality After Losing It All

Five years ago, I entered a dark night of the soul. I was facing divorce, infidelity, and a near-bankrupt business - all while pregnant with twins. Life felt like it was crumbling around me. It was at this point that I thought to myself, “This can’t all be happening without reason.” That thought kickstarted a deep awakening inside me, and I began exploring something I had not yet focused on in my life: Spirituality and Religion.

We discuss: ---The influence of psychedelics on my spiritual awakening ---What books and resources I’ve found valuable ---How this connection with something bigger has led to a newfound sense of self and confidence in the universe ---Why I still don’t prescribe to one “religion” This is the perfect conversation for those who are interested in peeling back the fabric of reality and entertaining what might be underneath.
