The New Rules Podcast E80: Building a Life That Holds the Weight of Your Calling
What if the reason you're stuck isn't because of your vision—but because of your systems?
In this episode we break down the hidden wiring of your life—the internal frameworks that either sustain your growth or sabotage it. This isn't about grinding harder. It's about building smarter.
Adrian and Bri unpack:
-
The reason vision alone will burn you out
-
The daily decisions that quietly shape your future
-
Why outdated internal systems are holding people back
-
How to rebuild your rhythms to actually support your calling
They walk through 4 core systems every leader needs:
✅ Behavioral Systems – The habits that support your direction ✅ Self-Awareness Mechanisms – Internal sensors that keep you grounded ✅ Adaptability & Flexibility – Structures that bend with transition, not break ✅ Purpose Alignment – A compass that ensures your systems lead somewhere meaningful
If you've ever felt like your life is outpacing your infrastructure, this one's for you.
Reflection Questions
-
What part of your daily routine needs an upgrade to match your goals?
-
Where are you being rigid instead of adaptable?
-
Are your current habits truly aligned with your long-term calling?
