057 - Work-Life Flow

Todd Burnham and Phil McCarthy explore the difference between work-life balance and work-life flow, and why the distinction matters for performance, culture, and avoiding burnout.

They break down practical frameworks like “Zelda Hearts,” the “Two Hands” model, and the idea of finding touchpoints between your work and the parts of life that matter most: relationships, health, learning, and purpose.

The conversation dives into how lawyers and firm owners can build sustainable careers by aligning work with their best life instead of treating it as a compromise.
