Description

In a culture that glorifies constant motion, this episode of Your Preshift explores the leadership power of slowing down.

We often think of rest as a break we earn after burnout. But real rest—the kind that happens between seasons—isn’t passive. It’s not time off. It’s intentional, human work.

In this episode, Ryan talks about:

• Why rest is productive, not wasteful
• How good leaders build space into transitions instead of rushing through
• What it looks like to create breathing room on the frontline
• And how rest reconnects us—to ourselves, our values, and the people we lead

This isn’t about stopping. It’s about tending the soil so the next season can actually grow something worth harvesting.
