In this episode of the Pursuit Podcast, we dive into work-life balance and the challenges of setting boundaries as business owners. Zach opens up about feeling guilty when he’s not “on” all the time and his desire to delegate more so he can focus on higher-level tasks. The group shares tips for creating and communicating boundaries, like using automated voicemails and setting clear work-hour policies for clients and teams. From there, we shift into improving business systems. Brady and Daniel share how they’ve streamlined processes like managing client info, scheduling jobs, and keeping marketing materials stocked. The group highlights the importance of constantly reviewing and refining systems as your business grows and making sure your team understands why those systems exist. Things take an unexpected but fun turn when we dive into a philosophical chat about determinism vs. free will. The group explores both sides of the argument and agrees that most people probably sit somewhere in the middle, acknowledging that both perspectives play a role in life. We wrap up by recapping the key takeaways: setting better work-life boundaries, improving systems, and having meaningful conversations to expand your perspective.
