Your battery is low, but the calendar won’t let up. We take a simple, everyday charger and use it to unpack the quiet mechanics of sustainable leadership—how capacity, not constant motion, drives clear thinking, better decisions, and humane momentum. From a friend’s day of solitude at Mother Cabrini, overlooking Denver as the city lights come alive, to the frantic airport hunt for an outlet, we map where renewal hides and why leaders miss it until the red bar flashes.
We get honest about the shadow side of extreme ownership. When “push through” becomes our only gear, we trade creativity, patience, and presence for performative busyness. Together we explore practices that recharge the mind and protect the work that matters: scheduled solitude, rules for rest, weekly reflection blocks, and boundaries that make deep work possible. Instead of waiting for crisis, we design systems that keep the battery in a healthy range, so performance is steady and teams feel the stability of a leader who isn’t running on fumes.
You’ll leave with a reframed view of energy as a strategic asset and a set of simple starting points—find the hidden outlets in your day, build rituals that restore attention, and treat health as part of the job, not a perk. If you’ve been measuring success by how busy you feel, this is your permission to plug in before you go dark. If the message resonates, follow the show, share it with a leader who needs a recharge, and leave a quick review to help others find it. Your future self—and your team—will thank you.
