679. The Myth of Balance and the Power of Counterbalance

Everyone loves to talk about "work-life balance." Calendar hacks. Perfect routines. Equal attention to everything that matters. Sounds enlightened, right? Except it's a lie.

In today's episode, Brian pulls a powerful lesson from one of the most impactful books ever written: The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. The book demolishes the idea that balance is something you maintain. The truth? Balance is a myth… and chasing it is slowing you down.

Achieving extraordinary results requires a season of focused imbalance — going all in on the thing that matters most. But there's a catch: you must counterbalance. Life isn't a scale aiming for stillness; it's a pendulum in constant motion. Lean into your big goals — scaling a business, crushing a training block, making a major move — and then swing the energy back before something breaks.
