In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface challenge one of the most common cultural myths: work-life “balance.” Instead of trying to carefully divide your time, energy, and priorities into equal portions, Garrett and Nick show why true greatness comes from embracing both—not balance. From faith to family, fitness to career, men often feel pressure to sacrifice one area to succeed in another. But as Garrett says, “I don’t like the idea that my family only wins when my business loses. I’m not playing that game.” Drawing from biblical truth, personal discipline, and hard-won life experience, they reveal:
- Why “balance” often leads to mediocrity and compromise.
- How God Himself models the both mindset as both love and law.
- The difference between what’s finite (time, money, energy) and what’s abundant.
- Practical wisdom for pursuing success in multiple areas without settling.
- How asking the right questions—“What will it take to achieve both?”—transforms your mindset.
This conversation is a bold invitation to stop settling for balance and start pursuing abundance. As Garrett reminds, “The standard you set determines whether you live in compromise or rise to your calling.”
