This week, I’m joined by Lee Edney - dad of two, newly married, and a senior leader in tech - for a conversation about the hidden cost of success when life looks fine on the outside… but doesn’t feel it.

Fifteen months ago, Lee reached out with a clear goal - get in shape for his wedding. But underneath that was something deeper: stress, sluggishness, bad habits creeping in, and a sense that he wasn’t showing up as the man, dad, or partner he wanted to be.

This episode is about what happens when you finally decide to stop accepting “fine” and start doing the real work - not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and structurally. It’s about putting your oxygen mask on first - so you can lead from the front, not from survival mode.

We cover:

• The danger of life looking “fine” but feeling off
• Breaking out of the work-stress-wine-repeat cycle
• Why systems beat willpower every time
• How small changes at home created huge shifts at work
• What it means to feel proud of who you’re becoming

And if this feels familiar and you’re ready to make a change, hit the link in my profile and let’s talk.
