In this episode, Ryan Stewman tackles the common question: How do you balance work and family life? He shares his philosophy that “balance is bullshit”—as his mentor Tim Grover once told him, a balanced scale is at zero, and no one wants to be a zero. Instead of trying to balance everything perfectly, Ryan invests intentional, quality time into his family. He has a structured system that has worked for over 10 years:

 

• Weekly date night with his wife, where they disconnect from business and focus on each other.

• Family dinners with a “family huddle,” where each family member shares their highs and asks for prayers.

• Weekend adventures at the ranch with his kids, giving his wife some much-needed downtime.

 

Ryan makes it clear that success comes from investing quality time into your family, not chasing an impossible balance. If you want to maintain both a thriving business and meaningful relationships, structure your time and make family a priority.

 

Don’t aim for balance—create a system that works.
