You Built the Business, Now It’s Time to Get Your Life Back

If you’ve ever found yourself checking emails at your kid’s recital or mowing the lawn while replaying a work convo in your head … welcome! You’re in the right place.

In this episode, Mark and Nick Creedon get real about the myth of work-life balance and offer something far more doable. It’s about turning off the noise, reclaiming your weekends, and showing up as your best self, at home and in business.

This is a candid conversation on boundaries, presence, self-care, and finding time for what and who matters most without burning out or blowing up your business. It’s practical. It’s refreshingly honest. And yes, it might just save your Sundays.

You don’t need a total life overhaul to reclaim your time. You just need a few real-world shifts that stick. Whether it's turning off notifications, scheduling fun, or just touching a leaf before walking in the door, these micro-habits stack up. 

Start with one. Your future self, and your family, will thank you. Because the truth is, you didn’t start a business to miss all your kid’s soccer games.
