What If Better Rest Is the Key to Greater Results? with David Shrum


Listen Later

High performers love to push, grind, and go — but what if the missing link to greater results isn’t more effort, but better rest?

In this episode of Unlocked, host Kristyn Drennen sits down with David Shrum, a Meta Performance™ Executive Coach and former EMS Director, to unpack why rest is not a luxury, but a critical discipline for leaders. Together they explore:

  • The difference between passive breaks and active rest
  • How to uncover and rewrite the limiting stories leaders carry about rest
  • What to do when you feel overwhelmed by vision — or starved for it
  • Why protecting your “furnace” of energy fuels better leadership, better families, and better results

Resources Mentioned:

  • Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less by Alex Pang
  • Sleeping At Last’s Enneagram Album (especially songs 6 & 8)
  • Connect with David Shrum on LinkedIn or via email.

Reference Correction: Using furnace as a description for our energy reserves and the necessity to protect it comes from Jason Jaggard in his book Beyond High Performance.
