I had the opportunity to sit down with one of my dear friends, Dan Martel, who I consider kind of an unofficial mentor. Over the years, Eric and I have watched Dan on his business and family-building journey, and it's been SO inspirational to us. I feel it in my core.

In this candid conversation, I got to sit down with Dan and talk to him about how to buy back your time as a CEO or entrepreneur. This episode is a little different than what we normally have on the show because it's more geared towards entrepreneurs and people building companies who feel lost in the rat race of all of the “to-do's”. But I just know it's a SUPER valuable conversation for many of you because Dan is a master at supporting people to get OUT of their businesses so that they have more freedom and time to do the things they love and get back to the reason why they started the business in the first place.

About a year and a half ago… I could have really used Dan's advice. During that time, I felt so inundated with tasks and to-dos, and like I had built myself a really intense job that was no longer feeling fun. If you're in a similar spot, I know Dan's words of wisdom are going to be super helpful. So many of you are on a business-building journey yourself, and it can feel really intense sometimes. I hope you LOVE Dan's frameworks and the way he thinks about business as much as I do. He has some truly unique insights on how to buy back your time and make sure you're taking care of yourself and your relationships along the way. Enjoy!
