The Service Paradox: How Giving Back Energizes You

"I don't have time to volunteer. I'm barely keeping up as it is." Sound familiar?

Most leaders think service is something you do when you have extra bandwidth. But here's what they don't realize: Service doesn't drain your energy—it multiplies it.

Harvard research shows that people who give time or money are 42 percent more likely to be happy. Volunteering just two hours per week reduces mortality rates by 40 percent. In today's episode, I explore how your brain rewards helping others with stress-fighting chemicals.

The Energy Audit that Reveals Why You're Exhausted

Here's the productivity lie destroying leaders: "If I just manage my time better, I'll get ahead." You've optimized everything. Downloaded every app. Color-coded your life. Yet you're still running on empty.

The problem isn't your time management. It's your energy management. Most leaders are solving the wrong energy problem: trying to fix mental fatigue with more coffee or attempting to repair emotional depletion with task completion.

In today's episode, I share the 3-day energy audit that will reveal why you're actually exhausted.
