About this listen

 Bill Simmons is the CEO of Hope Rises International (formerly American Leprosy Missions) and author of The Way of Interruption. Bill shares how a sabbatical and a season at a monastery led him to radically reimagine leadership—through prayer, presence, and the power of doing less.

We explore:

  • The origins of The Way of Interruption and how it grew out of intentional pauses during a life-changing sabbatical

  • Why his organization now begins meetings with 30-second silences and prays through Psalms twice daily

  • How ancient practices can transform modern team dynamics

  • Why less hustle can actually lead to more impact

  • The leadership myth that doing more equals leading better—and what to do instead

Whether you’re leading a nonprofit, a business, or a team of two, this conversation will challenge how you think about spiritual rhythms and your work life.
