What if I told you the biggest bottleneck in your business isn’t your leads, your sales team, or even your offer… it’s your calendar?

This episode is a game-changer. We’re unpacking exactly how the highest-performing studio owners use deep work to multiply their output, slash distractions, and unlock serious momentum—without burning out.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered or just flat-out exhausted, this one’s for you.

Here’s what we’re covering:

-Why studio owners are addicted to shallow work—and how to break free for good

-The #1 thing to focus on (hint: it’s not your merch printer)

-The 7-step Deep Work System to get your time and brain back

-Exactly what deep work looks like (with real examples from the trenches)

-How to delegate, delay or ditch your way out of overwhelm

-Why batching your shallow tasks could save your sanity

-The Deep Work Challenge: 90 minutes a day for 90 days—and how to actually stick to it

-How to align your calendar with your biggest goals (and your team’s future)
