So, today I host Dr. Ann Tsung, a renowned expert in productivity, flow, and performance, to uncover productivity tips that can transform your work-life balance and take your practice to the next level.

Today, I’m joined by Dr. Ryan Mallory, a cardiologist who found a way to regain control over his career and life. After battling burnout and struggling with long hours, he made a bold decision to change the course of his professional life.

Ryan and his wife sought a better way to balance work and family, which led him to the world of locums and short-term rentals (STRs). These avenues not only allowed him to increase his income, but they also gave him the freedom to be present with his family, significantly reduce his work hours, and unlock opportunities to grow wealth outside of traditional medicine.

We explore the practicalities of making such a transition, including the financial benefits of locums and how investing in STRs can help you minimize taxes while increasing income. Ryan also shares actionable steps and insights that will help you design a life with more time and financial freedom. If you’re ready to take control of your career and life, hit play now!

Could the discipline you’ve been chasing be actually leading you away from success? Today I’m hosting my friend, mentor, and co-author Craig Ballantyne to explore his new book, The Dark Side of Discipline. We unpack why the world’s obsession with extreme discipline—cold plunges, 4 AM wake-ups, and relentless routines—can sometimes do more harm than good.

Craig shares powerful insights on how to identify your level 10 problems—the challenges that truly matter—and solve them by putting in a level 10 effort. We discuss why discipline isn’t one-size-fits-all, how the environment shapes your habits, and why your social circle is the ultimate predictor of success.

Craig also breaks down his effortless discipline system, showing you how to reprogram your habits without relying on willpower. So, if you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still aren’t seeing the results you want, this episode is for you. Tune in now for the strategies you need to make real, lasting changes.

In This Episode:

- An overview of “The Dark Side of Discipline”

- Redefining discipline: level 10 effort for level 10 problems
