199. Wade Galt on Balancing Health with Business for a 3-Day Weekend Lifestyle

Executive Health and Life

When you're balancing health with business, or at least attempting to, it's harder than it sounds. Constantly grinding, mounting stress, expectations to perform, and working seven days a week, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s truly important.

But what if there was a way to strategically maximize productivity while still making ample time for family, friends, and fun? Meet Wade Galt, an entrepreneur, author, and life coach who has committed his life to a three-day weekend lifestyle.

He turned his back on corporate regulations to strike a healthy work-life balance, and his journey is filled with invaluable lessons for us all.

Wade's candidness about the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship is refreshing. From the importance of discipline and commitment to the significance of understanding your strengths and weaknesses, Wade gives us a raw look into the world of an entrepreneur.

His insights about the distinction between $10 an hour and $10,000 an hour work, and how to maximize the most productive hours is a complete game-changer. He also sheds light on the value of feedback and why it's crucial to separate one's identity from their accomplishments.

However, Wade doesn’t beat around the bush about the hard work and dedication entrepreneurship requires. He uses stories from top performers and athletes to illustrate the reality of what it takes to succeed. But amidst all the hard work, he emphasizes the importance of self-care and enjoying the fruits of your labor.

After all, what's the point of all the hard work if you can't enjoy a three-day weekend? So, join me and Wade for an eye-opening conversation, and you might just end up reevaluating your work-life balance.
