If you're reading this, you're probably a productivity junkie. You love getting stuff done and being successful. You write down stuff you've already done just so you can check it off!
But when constantly being in "beast mode" leaves us feeling depleted and unhealthy, is that really success at all? What if we're doing productivity all wrong?
Today on the StoryBrand podcast, Donald Miller sits down with Michael Hyatt to talk about a better approach to productivity.
Michael believes that to truly be productive, we need freedom to focus on the things that matter most. That way, your life can be full of significance and meaning, not just tasks and goals.
In this episode, he teaches us the surprisingly simple systems and rituals we can implement to help us do just that.
If you struggle to turn off work at nights and weekends, or if you always feel defeated at the end of the day no matter what you've gotten done, you need the wisdom Michael shares in this episode. Listen now, and don't forget to subscribe, too.

The world around us is pretty bonkers.
Fortunately, that's good for us as business leaders. Behind every headline, there are so many lessons that can make our business stronger.
Today on the Building a StoryBrand podcast, we hear the crazy story behind one of those headlines. Ryan Holiday is the author of Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue, which tells the story of how Peter Thiel strategically launched a behind-the-scenes conspiracy to take down media giant Gawker.
The story itself is wild, but when Ryan tells it, it becomes a study in how to use narrative, patience, and strategy if you find yourself in a battle of sorts.
Maybe you're battling a competitor for market share. Or battling a public misconception that's hurting sales. In either case, this episode will give you a glimpse into what Thiel did behind the scenes to create the outcome he wanted.

Why do organizations fail?
For countless reasons, of course, but at the root of every business failure you'll find a leader who never gave their team a clear vision.

So when it comes to bold leadership, you don't need to look much farther than today's podcast guest, Carey Lohrenz. She was the first female pilot of an F-14 Tomcat, and she knows what it takes to lead well when the pressure's on and the stakes are immense.
In today's episode, she shares the three characteristics you need to be a bold leader, with practical ways you can develop them.
Listen now, and give yourself a huge boost of motivation this week!
