Jason records from the car with his daughter Effie Lee Schroeder and Brandon Montero on the way to a boot camp, and they tackle a topic that hits home for nearly every leader: creating capacity in your personal life so you can keep showing up at your best. They reflect on people Jason and Brandon both know who started powerful improvement efforts but stalled out under overburden. They share what each of them does to recharge, why delegation only works when paired with real training, and why protecting buffer time isn't a luxury, it's the only way to live remarkably.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why turbulence calls for slowing down, not speeding up
The hidden cost of holding onto work you should be delegating
How morning runs, meditation, ukulele, and refinishing furniture all serve the same purpose
Why Kingman's formula applies to your life: cycle time plus variation plus utilization
The right delegation question: can they do it, or should they do it after I train them
You can't help people if you don't have the help you need. Build the buffer first, and the remarkable work follows.
