After a recording mishap, Bobby takes the mic solo to share what he learned from his backyard trees and how their rhythm of growth and rest can help us avoid burnout.
He unpacks the concept of masting, the natural cycle where trees go all-in for one season, then pause to recover.
The message?
Even purpose-driven people need to recharge.
Also in this episode:
Updates on the Easy Hard vs. Hard Hard book launch
Why rest isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom
A moving story about compassion from an unexpected stranger
If you’re feeling drained, this episode will remind you that rest is part of the work.
Listen. Reflect. Restore.

Bobby’s book, Easy Hard vs. Hard Hard, is now available on Amazon Kindle, with the print version coming soon.
This book consolidates the ideas explored on the podcast—helping readers recognize the difference between the “Easy Hard” (the comfortable grind that leads nowhere) and the “Hard Hard” (the meaningful work that fulfills).
