There are countless reasons why a parent might choose to step away from their career to stay home and raise their kids—financial considerations, personal values, or simply wanting to be more present during those formative years. But even in 2026, most people still assume it'll be Mom who makes that move. Enter Shannon Carpenter: a stay-at-home dad of three who traded investigating elder abuse for state agencies for full-time parenting almost 20 years ago, and has never looked back. Shannon is the author of The Ultimate Stay-at-Home Dad (Penguin Random House), a humorous, heartfelt guide for dads navigating the world of primary caregiving. He opens up about fighting isolation, bucking stereotypes, and how he has redefined success and identity in his life. Listen to the end for Kisses & Disses!Topics include:• The decision-making process behind becoming a stay-at-home dad and challenging traditional gender norms.• Navigating isolation, building community, and the importance of friendships for at-home fathers.• Strategies for connecting with teenagers and adapting parenting styles for different phases and individual children.• Mental health for dads: separating personal identity from the parenting role and prioritizing self-care.• Societal perceptions of stay-at-home dads and ongoing barriers to equality in caregiving roles.• The impact of workplace policies, cultural changes, and paid family leave on modern fatherhood.• Writing "The Ultimate Stay-at-Home Dad" and advocating for actionable, practical advice for fathers.• And more!LINKSShannon Carpenter (homepage)The Ultimate Stay At Home Dad (Bookshop.org)Shannon Carpenter (Instagram)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

Most people think hard conversations are about winning. Charlamagne Tha God knows better - they're about controlling the frame. After nearly three decades in radio — turning The Breakfast Club into a cultural force and surviving the internet's loudest pile-ons — he's learned why some people dominate conversations without being the smartest, loudest, or most liked. In this no-filter episode, Charlamagne breaks down the exact frameworks he uses to handle toxic people, win high-stakes conversations, and stay grounded while millions are watching. We get into why he asks every question twice (“but why?”), how he stopped people-pleasing and started setting real boundaries, why gratitude beats ambition, and the brutal truth behind the rule of 10 — three people will love you, three will hate you, and the rest don't care. This isn't theory. It's applied psychology from the trenches. From quitting Twitter before it broke him, to the panic-attack mantra that saved his career, to why blue-collar work matters more than AI hype, to why 50 Cent-level petty can be oddly therapeutic. If difficult people drain you, boundaries feel hard, or you want to communicate with calm confidence in a world that rewards noise — this episode will permanently upgrade how you think, talk, and move. ___________ 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:17 The Art of the Interview: Why Matters Most 00:06:57 Obsession Is the Price of Greatness 00:12:45 Work-Life Balance and Living Life to Fuel Your Work 00:15:30 Einstein Time: You Create Your Own Time 00:20:08 The Rule of 10: Why You Can't Please Everyone 00:22:53 50 Cent's Level of Petty: The Power of Revenge 00:31:25 Verbally Abusive Relationships With Your Smartphone 00:40:12 The Black Effect Podcast Network: Building Empire 00:45:15 Money Is Not the Root of All Evil: Rewriting Your Money Story 00:51:18 God, Faith, and the Voice That Guides You 01:02:42 Blue Collar Jobs Are the Future: The Trade School Revolution 01:10:29 The Breakfast Club on Netflix and What's Next 01:10:28 Final Words: Gratitude, God, and Keeping It Real ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL

This week, Dr. Harman comes to the conclusion that Dr. Hsu is addicted to overworking himself. How do you balance work and life without underpaying attention to either one?

Most founders won't say this out loud… work-life balance doesn't really exist. At least not in the early years. I didn't want balance — I was obsessed. I worked until 5 a.m., skipped sleep, skipped holidays, ignored my health, and pushed myself until the wheels fell off. And eventually, they did. In this episode, I share the truth about burnout, why obsession can be a superpower until it becomes a liability, and how I rebuilt my life using systems, structure, and intentional habits. This is the real story behind how I learned to operate at a high level without destroying myself. Here's what you'll take away: • Why obsession is normal early on — but unsustainable long term • The signs of burnout I ignored and what finally forced me to change • The rituals that saved me: steps, gym, sauna, therapy, family time, calendared rest • Why rhythm matters more than balance — and how to design one that works • The life audit exercise that revealed what was truly out of alignment If you feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, or like you're running on fumes, this episode will give you the tools and perspective to reset — and build a life that supports the business, not the other way around.

If your life looks “fine” on paper, but you're exhausted, behind, and constantly pushing through -- this episode is for you. I'm sharing three things my coaching clients do differently that create real work-life balance, without more systems or pressure. These aren't magic fixes, but they do change how you show up at work and at home. What You'll Learn:Why pushing through your thoughts and feelings is actually slowing you down and how learning to process them creates relief instead of more overwhelmHow my clients learn to work with their brain (especially ADHD and neurodivergent brains) instead of forcing strategies that were never designed for themHow to spend your time intentionally -- even when time feels scarce -- so it supports your life instead of draining itHow these shifts create more clarity, energy, and control without requiring you to do moreIf This Resonates…If you're nodding along thinking, “Yep… this is me,” I'd love to support you. You don't need another planner or productivity system...you need support that actually fits your brain and your life. You're welcome to book a free consult to ask questions, talk things through, or explore what coaching could look like for you.Resources & Links:

Episode Overview In this episode, Michael sits down with Steven Puri, a former Hollywood studio executive turned founder of Sukha, to explore career reinvention, sustainable creativity, and the science behind focus and flow. Drawing from Steven's journey through the film industry and his transition into building tools for deep work, the conversation uncovers practical strategies for productivity, work-life balance, and long-term creative success. From Hollywood Sets to Studio Executive Leadership Steven and Michael begin by unpacking Michael's career trajectory in the film industry, from working directly on major motion pictures to stepping into senior executive leadership. Michael shares stories from his time collaborating with renowned directors and how those formative experiences shaped his understanding of storytelling, leadership, and execution. His career evolved into executive roles at DreamWorks as Executive Vice President, where he oversaw high-profile projects including Transformers and Fringe, and later as Vice President at 20th Century Fox, managing large-scale summer action franchises. These experiences laid the foundation for his later work in leadership, burnout prevention, and performance. Crafting Success Through Sustainable Creative Environments Steven shares insights from his own career about the importance of craftsmanship and sustainability, particularly for writers and creative professionals. Rather than relying on bursts of inspiration, he emphasizes designing environments that consistently support deep focus and high-quality output. He highlights examples of successful creatives who intentionally tied their work to specific locations, including writing teams who returned to the same villa in Puerto Vallarta or repeatedly booked the same room at the Universal Hilton to trigger a focused mental state. Steven encourages listeners to identify or create their own dedicated spaces that signal it is time to do meaningful work. Remote Work Rituals and Focus Michael reflects on his early experience working remotely as far back as 2007, long before remote work became mainstream. He explains how he established rituals to mentally transition into and out of work, including maintaining a dedicated workspace, dressing as if going to an office, and even using intentional entry and exit routines to mark the workday. Steven connects this to his own writing on the concept of “commuting to your home office,” reinforcing how rituals can replace the psychological cues that traditional offices once provided. Work-Life Balance, Boundaries, and Productivity As a father and entrepreneur, Michael shares how he learned to balance presence with productivity. He discusses setting clear boundaries during work hours while remaining fully engaged with his children outside of them, a strategy that helped him avoid burnout while maintaining performance. The conversation moves into procrastination and task management, with Michael explaining how breaking large projects into smaller, manageable steps helps reduce resistance. Steven adds insights from his work with Sukha, noting that limiting visible tasks to just three at a time can significantly improve focus and execution. Flow States and High Performance The episode concludes with a deep dive into flow states, drawing on the research of psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Steven and Michael explore how elite performers across industries enter flow and the conditions required to sustain it. Steven shares a pivotal personal experience of entering a deep flow state during a flight, which ultimately inspired the creation of Sukha. The company's name itself came from a user who described how the tool helped them find balance between meaningful work and family life, perfectly capturing the mission behind the platform. Key Takeaways Sustainable success is built through intentional environments and rituals, not constant hustle Flow states can be designed, not left to chance Clear boundaries support both productivity and well-being Limiting task overload is a powerful antidote to burnout and procrastination For more information on Steven Puri and his work, visit https://thesukha.co or reach out directly at https://www.thesukha.co/media

They say it's about collaboration and face-to-face interactions - but you're still expected to join your virtual meeting in a private call booth.So, what's really behind these RTO mandates? If the research shows better work-life balance and productivity when employees have the option to work remotely, what's the big push for the big return? Does work-from-home still exist six years after the pandemic?Host Catherine Jette speaks to Kathy Chow, a Toronto-based writer who wrote a piece called "Welcome Back to the Office. You Won't Get Anything Done.". The two discuss corporate culture's inability to prioritize the employee, how women are disproportionately affected by RTO mandates, and how surrounding suburbs of big cities can fall victim to the return to the office.

In this episode of The Steward Chair, Jared Meyers, Founder & CEO of andCo, shares his journey of aligning personal values with professional leadership, exploring how authenticity in business drives meaningful, long-term success.

Work-Life Balance Is a Myth? This CEO Explains Why Aslak de Silva introduces his “Tetris-ing your life together” concept, challenging the traditional notion of #worklife balance. Rather than striving for perfect daily equilibrium, he emphasizes actively managing one's calendar to strategically block out time for different life priorities—family, friends, work, training, and personal development. This approach to what is having a work-life balance moves beyond mythical perfection, acknowledging that not everything can happen simultaneously but can be thoughtfully arranged to fit together over time. The goal is achieving fulfillment by ensuring all valued aspects of life receive attention through flexible, adaptive planning as life evolves. The Power of Presence in Leadership and Life The discussion shifts to being more present in the moment, drawing from Aslak de Silva's martial arts background. What does it mean to be more present means fully engaging in the current moment, whether being a more present parent or in professional interactions. Aslak de Silva shares anecdotes—his daughter learning to ride a bike and his wife's text on a train—illustrating how being present and mindful strengthens connections and significantly impacts others' feelings. In leadership, being present in a relationship with team members allows genuine support, encouragement, and obstacle removal, creating a strong sense of care. Being present meditation and martial arts training demonstrate that this mindful engagement is a developable skill requiring consistent practice. Cultivating Daily Discipline and Self-Leadership Tim Staton and Aslak de Silva explore developing discipline and habits, especially for those without military or martial arts backgrounds. Discipline and good habits are framed not as innate traits but as muscles strengthened through small, consistent actions. Aslak de Silva suggests starting with achievable daily practices—a healthy breakfast or short exercise—and gradually building upon them. The core principle is that “discipline beats motivation,” meaning consistent action, even when unmotivated, yields greater results than waiting for inspiration. This internal journey of self-leadership, managing one's well-being and habits, directly influences leadership effectiveness and supports #being more present and #being mindful and present in all aspects of life. The Evolution of Black Belt Leadership Aslak de Silva explains the genesis of his book, “Black Belt Leadership,” synthesizing his 15-20 years in martial arts with his CEO career. He recognized that the developmental journey in martial arts, marked by different colored belts, paralleled the continuous growth required in leadership, prompting him to document his learnings. The book explores how martial arts principles—resilience, focus, and continuous improvement—apply to leadership. Aslak de Silva also shares how artificial intelligence (AI) assisted him in structuring scattered ideas, maintaining consistent tone, and organizing content into 20 actionable lessons, making the writing process more efficient. Embracing Imperfection and Developing Leadership Instincts A key takeaway from both martial arts and leadership is accepting imperfection. Aslak de Silva emphasizes that even the best fighters make mistakes, and leaders will inevitably face challenges and failures. The goal is not perfection but continuous calibration, learning from both successes and missteps. This requires boldness to try new approaches and self-awareness to understand one's strengths and weaknesses. Aslak de Silva highlights that knowing one's weaknesses allows for building a complementary team, ensuring all project aspects are handled effectively. The conversation concludes by touching upon leadership instincts and the idea that some people might fear success due to potential sacrifices involved, underscoring the importance of commitment and effort from day one to achieve one's full potential.

Burned-out agent—if that phrase hits a little too close to home, this episode is for you. In this conversation on The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon sits down with Rebecca Del Pozo—Millionaire Real Estate Mom Coach & Trainer and author of Stop Winging It: Don't Accept Your Life, Lead It—to expose what's really happening underneath the exhaustion so many agents normalize. Because burnout usually isn't caused by one “crazy week.” It's often the fruit of living in reaction mode: saying yes too fast, staying busy without being effective, and confusing hustle with faithfulness.Rebecca shares the why behind her book and the John Maxwell quote that shaped it: most people accept their life—they don't lead it. That idea becomes a mirror for the modern real estate professional. You can “wing it” and still get contracts signed. You can stay moving and still feel stuck. And you can build momentum in the marketplace while quietly becoming a burned-out agent at home—resentful, scattered, and always behind.When you don't trust God with the outcome, you start trying to force the process. That's where ego, pride, and fear sneak in—especially for realtors of faith who genuinely want to honor the Lord but keep getting pulled toward shiny distractions, comparison, and reactive decisions. The result is the same: a calendar that owns you, a mind that won't shut off, and a business that keeps feeding the real estate grind.This episode gets extremely practical. Rebecca introduces the “not-to-do list”—a simple but powerful tool that reveals what drains you most and becomes a future job description (even if you can't afford help yet). For the real estate agent who feels scattered, she offers a refreshing truth: the reset is often smaller than you think. Tiny acts of obedience—using a calendar consistently, showing up prepared, setting boundaries around social media, protecting your attention, and creating structure—can pull a burned-out agent back into clarity faster than another “big strategy” ever will.They also confront one of the biggest time leaks in the industry: social media. Not because it's wrong, but because many agents consume more than they create—and call it “work.” Rebecca shares how she sets timers, removes notifications, and builds parameters so her mind stays aligned with what actually matters. Garrett reinforces why this is so important: distraction isn't neutral. It quietly drains your best energy and keeps you stuck in the real estate grind.If you're a burned-out agent who's tired of winging it, tired of reacting, and tired of building a business that drains your home life, this episode will meet you with conviction and hope. You'll walk away with practical steps to strengthen your realtor structure, build realtor systems, and create a faith driven business that's sustainable—not frantic.Connect with Rebecca - https://www.rebeccadelpozo.com/Resources & Opportunities:

What if the “safe” job you're clinging to is actually holding you back from the calling God wired you for? In this episode, Steven sits down with longtime friend and father of nine, Michael Beausejour,to unpack how an ordinary corporate employee stepped out in faith, built a thriving framing business from scratch, and provided more for his family than he ever imagined. Michael wasn't trained in construction. He wasn't an entrepreneur. He had a demanding day job and a growing family. But he also had a God-given itch to build, create, and multiply—and he refused to ignore it.
