- This episode addresses a topic that's very much present in the home service business industry: calming the chaos and dealing with exhaustion.
- Chris opens up about dealing with different types of exhaustion – and how they differ from one another.
- Following a pace that drives you to mentally feel exhausted ends up crippling you physically.
- Kenny believes that, in society, there's a collective agreement that burnout is not only acceptable, but it's kind of expected.
- Chris explains how his why – the reason why he got into the industry in the first place – has allowed the chaos not to get out of hand.
- Remember: the business isn't going to create boundaries for you, it's going to be you who needs to set them!

- A key question you should ask yourself is "Am I serving my business or is my business serving me?"

- "Magnified Agitation" is one of the first signs of a condition that could lead to burnout.
- "Your emotional quotient (EQ) or emotional intelligence allows you to be emotionally regulated (ER)," says Chris.
- Chris and Kenny discuss "the grind" and the impact it may end up having on you.
- Having unclear boundaries is one of the "sins" managers who operate in chaos are guilty of.
- If you're a leader who's focused on being selfless, you're making a big mistake...you should be "self-full" instead.
- Kenny goes over the difference between boundaries and barriers – and why it's important to have clarity on this distinction.
- Chris shares a powerful delegation tip that will help you become a better leader, while Kenny talks about why many leaders who are "firefighters" tend to be "arsonists" too.
