Focus doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from knowing what matters and honoring it with your time, your energy, and your attention.

In this episode, we move past distraction, multitasking, and false urgency to explore six real-world foundations that actually help you follow through.

These principles aren’t hacks or hype. They’re lived experience—shared with honesty, backed by story, and paired with practical next steps you can apply today.

You’ll learn:
• Why sleep is your most powerful productivity tool
• What to do when your to-do list feels endless
• How to stop underestimating time and set yourself up to win
• The link between your physical environment and mental performance
• How to tell the difference between being busy and being effective

This is the next step in a series built to help you create momentum with purpose.

If you’re tired of spinning and ready to move forward with focus, this episode is for you.

What happens when you’re carrying more than you can name, and the clarity you need just isn’t there yet? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Angela Lewis, a creative strategist, systems thinker, and founder of Savvy Designs and Pink Elephant Solutions, to talk about what it really takes to lead, grow, and stay grounded when everything around you feels a bit out of control.
We cover a lot, including:
The moment Angela realized she had to “let go of the goose”
Why focus can feel like a trap when you’re grieving or rebuilding
What it looks like to walk with people through the fog, not just coach from the outside
And how momentum sometimes comes only after you’ve laid something down

This is a story about calm, clarity, grief, and rebuilding with heart.

If something in this episode speaks to you, send it to someone else who might need it too.

What do you hold onto when the plan unravels, but the mission still matters?
In this conversation, I sit down with my close friend and Grove Studios co-founder Rick Coughlin to talk about what it really takes to keep building when clarity is fleeting and everything feels uncertain.
Rick shares what it means to will something into existence not through hustle or hype, but through showing up, staying grounded, and leading with vision even in the messiest seasons.

We talk about:
Letting go of titles to become a better leader
Why calm isn’t weakness, but instead the root of creative strength
What carried Grove Studios through the pandemic
How community, naps, and trust became his new strategy

If you’ve ever felt like you’re making it up as you go, but doing your best to do so with heart, you’re in good company.
