Ever wonder why you feel completely drained at the end of the day despite eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep? The answer lies in what most men overlook: energy leaks.
These invisible drains aren't the obvious energy-burners but rather the small, persistent trickles we've normalized. The mindless scrolling during brief moments throughout the day. The conversations we mentally rehearse dozens of times. The reflexive "yes" to requests that don't align with our priorities. Each seems insignificant on its own, but collectively, they create a significant energy deficit that no amount of caffeine or supplements can fix.
I discovered this truth during a moment of clarity—finding myself barely able to stay awake while reading bedtime stories to my children. Not because I'd been physically active all day, but because I'd been running a mental marathon from dawn till dusk. From rumination to people-pleasing to constant digital distraction, my energy had been leaking from the moment I awoke.
This episode breaks down the three biggest energy drains that most men ignore: mindless digital consumption, unfinished conversations, and misaligned commitments. More importantly, I share practical strategies to plug these leaks—creating white space in your day, closing conversational loops, and developing an "aligned yes" filter for new commitments.
Protecting your energy isn't about doing less; it's about choosing what's worth doing. When you're intentional with your energy, you lead with more presence, clarity, and strength. You show up as the man you want to be—for your work, your family, and yourself. Ready to stop running on empty? This is where real leadership begins.
