The Wholistic Productivity Podcast #33 What World-Building Teaches Us About Productivity, Purpose, and Business Growth
In Episode 33 of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, host Chris LeBrun explores how world-building—the storytelling method used by creators like Tolkien, Disney, and Marvel—can completely reshape how you think about productivity, business, and life design.
Just like the best fictional universes have depth, dimension, and connection, your goals and systems need to work together as part of an intentional ecosystem.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
- Apply world-building principles to design a balanced, multi-dimensional life.
- Build a business “universe” with multiple touchpoints that attract and engage your audience.
- Align your professional, personal, and purpose-driven goals into one cohesive ecosystem.
- Use the concept of transmedia storytelling to create connection and loyalty—both in your business and in your habits.
Chris also challenges you to complete a World-Building Audit for your life—rating key areas like career, relationships, wellness, and purpose—and to design your own integrated life system for long-term fulfillment.
🎧 Listen to the full episode to learn how world-building can help you Dream Big. Plan Smart. Live Fully.
