Episode 948 | Leading Yourself is the Highest Form of Freedom
What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show! Today we’re diving into the one thing that impacts every area of your life, career, and happiness—self-leadership. Before you lead a team, a company, or a family, you’ve got to learn how to lead yourself. And let’s be honest—it’s the hardest job of all. Joining me today is Jim Williams, and we unpack what it really means to lead yourself with clarity, humility, and discipline. We break down: ✅ Why self-leadership is mental warfare—and worth the battle ✅ How to identify your strengths, gifts, and blind spots ✅ Why chasing money without alignment leads to burnout ✅ How to build mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual freedom ✅ The danger of staying in the wrong “lane” too long We also talk about how corporate culture and bad leadership training often push people to “fix their weaknesses” instead of developing their superpowers. The truth? You can’t lead others well if you’re not first grounded in who you are and what you’re meant to do. 🔥 CHALLENGE: Ask yourself: In what area of your life are you not leading yourself well right now? Get brutally honest. Then take ONE step to change it.

What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show! Today’s episode hits home for every entrepreneur, leader, and high performer—what you avoid owns you. Whether it’s a tough conversation, a business decision, or a personal commitment, the things you put off don’t just disappear… they quietly take control of your mindset, your energy, and your results.

What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show! Today, we’re diving into the one resource we all get in equal measure—time. If you’ve ever said “there’s not enough time in the day,” you’re not alone. But the truth is, the problem isn’t time—it’s priorities. Joining me today is Tyler Joe Stratton, and we’re having a powerful conversation about purpose, productivity, and how to align your calendar with what actually matters. We unpack: ✅ Why “not enough time” is a myth—and what to do instead ✅ How to prioritize peace over pressure ✅ Real tactics to protect your calendar like it’s a bank account ✅ The danger of chasing success without fulfillment ✅ How to re-center your life around purpose, joy, and presence We also talk about the seasons of sacrifice, saying no to the wrong things, and why peace—not money, cars, or status—is the real finish line. 🔥 CHALLENGE: Treat your time like currency.

Episode 942 | The Discipline Behind the Domination
What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to the show! Today, we’re unpacking one of the biggest separators between average and elite—discipline. Motivation might get you started, but discipline is what keeps the rock moving up the hill.

In a world that only celebrates the highlight reel, how do you keep showing up and making the tough calls that no one notices or applauds?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jim Williams, and we’re diving into a leadership myth that’s holding people back: the idea that being “low maintenance” is always a good thing.

What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to The Brian Hess Show! In this episode, I’m joined by Mark Perkins as we confront a popular but misleading belief—the idea that balance happens daily. Whether you’re building a business, leading a team, or raising a family, the truth is simple: real balance is earned over time, not measured in hours. This conversation is all about embracing intentional imbalance in the short term so you can build a life of freedom, impact, and alignment in the long run. ✅ Why true balance happens over seasons, not days ✅ The difference between micro sacrifices and macro alignment ✅ How to protect your priorities without chasing perfection ✅ Why discipline—not distraction—creates harmony ✅ The danger of quitting too soon in search of “balance” ✅ How long-term thinking unlocks freedom and flexibility 🎯 Take Action Today!

You’re building something no one can take from you. 📲 Follow us for more: 👉 Instagram: @realbrianhess | @thebrianhessshow 🔗 Resources & Partnerships: 💡 Need expert content creation? 🚜 Elite paving & construction training? 🏗️ Scalable paving solutions? 🔧 Dynapac paving equipment? #BrianHess #TheBrianHessShow #TimeManagementMyth #ClarityOverChaos #Leadership #ProductivityTips #Entrepreneurship #SuccessHabits #IntentionalLiving

🧭 You Don’t Need More Time, You Need More Clarity | Episode 928 🎙️ What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to The Brian Hess Show! In this episode, I’m joined by my brother Josh Miller, and we’re unpacking one of the biggest misconceptions in business and life—that you need more time. The truth? You need more clarity. When you lack clarity, every task feels urgent, every opportunity feels right, and your schedule quickly spirals out of control.

More hours won’t solve what unclear priorities create. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re constantly chasing your day—this episode is your reset. Get clear. Get focused. And start operating from intention, not obligation. 🎧 Tune in now and make your time count—on purpose. 📲 Follow us for more: 👉 Instagram: @realbrianhess | @thebrianhessshow 🔗 Resources & Partnerships: 💡 Need expert content creation? 🚜 Elite paving & construction training? 🏗️ Scalable paving solutions? 🔧 Dynapac paving equipment? #BrianHess #TheBrianHessShow #TimeManagementMyth #ClarityOverChaos #Leadership #ProductivityTips #Entrepreneurship #SuccessHabits #IntentionalLiving
