Episode 176⁠: Your Path to Health, Healing and Happiness with Dr. David Rabin

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.” — Viktor Frankl

Between a major home renovation, tight book deadlines, and competing high-stakes priorities, my focused attention was stretched to its limit recently.

In this Q&A episode, I share the exact tactical framework I used to protect my energy, regain focus, and maintain high performance through one of my most demanding seasons.

I also share the core principles that keep home life grounded when professional stress hits an all-time high, as well as the best parenting advice I've ever heard.

Inside this episode:

• Creating Capacity Under Pressure: How to guard foundational self-care rituals, optimize focus blocks, and use No Pressure Days (NPDs) to prevent burnout.

• The Perspective Reframing Question: A simple mental filter to immediately diffuse frustration—Is it a tragedy or an inconvenience?

• What to Eliminate in High-Stress Seasons: Why cutting out alcohol, negative influences, and catastrophic thinking is non-negotiable for recovery.

• The Playbook for Family Resilience: Why play is the primary language of children, and how to treat domestic friction as feedback rather than an attack.

Onward,

James

Episode 228⁠: Parenting with Purpose (Part 1) with Bryan Post

“Wherever you are, be there.” – Jim Rohn

One of the most common questions people ask me is: “I already know what to do—so why can’t I do it?”

Whether it’s workplace productivity, phone distraction, missed workouts, healthy eating, or simply getting to bed on time, the gap between knowing and doing almost never comes down to willpower.

In this minisode, I break down the core reason behind the "execution gap"—and why underperformance is almost always a structural problem rather than a lack of motivation.

I also walk you through the WIN Method: the exact 3-step framework I use with high-growth organizations to optimize daily performance, eliminate stress, and design an environment where winning becomes automatic.

We get super tactical in this one! Let's go...

Onward,

James

"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." — Henry David Thoreau

Have you ever tied your self-worth to your career success?

In our fast-paced world, it’s one of the most dangerous traps there is...

Her new book Healing the Success Wound has just been released.

In this episode:

• How to build a world-class career without destroying your life in the process.
