Episode Takeaways:
* Slow is smooth, smooth is fast — Sustainable pace and preparation produce excellence. Leaders need deliberate rhythms, not frantic motion.
* Build a rule of life (or rhythm) — Anchor your spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical health with consistent routines rather than reacting to chaos.
* Relational health requires intentionality — Introverted or task-oriented leaders must proactively schedule connections to avoid isolation and burnout.
* Emotional awareness drives healthy leadership — Unprocessed emotions leak into relationships; reflecting on your past and attachments builds maturity.
* Retreat to advance — Step away for silence and solitude. The world won’t collapse if you rest; your inner world will collapse if you don’t.
