In this episode, I talk about how important it is to have a balance in your life, and why it's not as simple as "balance" as people make it out to think it is. I also talk about the difference between a "glass ball" and a "rubber ball" relationship, and how to know the difference.

00:00:20.160 The integrated concept is way more interested than balance

00:00:27.920 Like my relationship with my wife,
00:00:29.240 that's a glass ball. If that breaks, that's an issue. I'm not going to ignore that while I'm
00:00:33.600 doing other stuff. But there's other things like, do you need to be in peak physical shape all the
00:00:37.740 time? No, it's kind of like a rubber ball. Knowing the difference is really important. My whole thing
00:00:41.840 is don't take your foot off the gas to do that. You cannot press so hard, but momentum is the outcome.
