Are you running your life—or is your life running you?
In this special mashup episode, I brought together two of my closest brothers—Brendon Burchard and Dave “Heavy D” Sparks—to unpack the real strategies high performers use to make time for the things that actually matter. And I’m not talking theory—I’m talking about what we’re doing right now in the middle of our own crazy schedules.
Brendon and I are both in the thick of it—back-to-back talks, travel, building companies, families, friendships. You name it. But we still find a way to show up, stay in control, and protect what’s most important. We share the real stuff here: managing emotional bandwidth, setting expectations with your family, compressing time, and why you need to schedule your rest like it's a meeting with your biggest investor.
Heavy D jumps in with a powerful reminder—not everything has to change overnight. Start with what resonates. One principle at a time. That’s how you build momentum without burning out. And we don’t shy away from the hard conversations—like learning how to say no, taking ruthless inventory of your schedule, and teaching people how to engage with your time.
I also share one of the most life-changing ideas I’ve ever implemented: the six-hour day. Yeah, I run three days in one. If you're still operating on a 24-hour mindset, you're already behind. And we wrap this up by talking about how your energy, your faith, and your perspective are the most critical assets you have in a busy season. You don’t have to do this—you get to.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- How Brendon Burchard structures communication during intense seasons to protect relationships and energy
- Why setting emotional expectations with your family and team is a leadership skill
- Ed’s three-day method: shrinking a 24-hour day into three 6-hour blocks
- How to create leverage by eliminating, delegating, and shortening tasks
- The importance of scheduling rest and treating it like high-value time
- How to stay spiritually grounded when life is moving fast
- Why your mess might be the thing that qualifies you to change someone else’s life
- The mindset shift from “I have to” to “I get to”—and how that changes everything
- Fitness and hydration as non-negotiables for sustainable energy
- How to be the power plant in every room you walk into
This one’s packed with real talk, real strategy, and a whole lot of heart. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, this is the reset you didn’t know you needed. Let’s get after it.
