EP. 34 - The Strength of a Balanced Life - Why the Good Life Needs Range
For years, I thought getting better meant doing more.
Working harder. Training harder. Pushing further.
It worked—until it didn't.
In this episode, I explore why I no longer think balance is about perfectly dividing your time. Instead, I think it's about building enough range that when one part of life becomes difficult, you have somewhere else to go.
We talk about ultramarathons, startups, Polyvagal Theory, the nervous system, my grandfather's simple definition of success, and why building a meaningful business should never come at the cost of the life you're trying to create.
Maybe balance isn't the opposite of ambition.
Maybe it's the very thing that allows ambition to last.
