As 2025 wraps up, Steve revisits five standout moments from some of our most impactful Great Life conversations this year. Like Part 1, this episode is built as a highlight reel, with short clips pulled from full-length interviews, but this time the focus is on building a great life so your great practice can grow quicker and easier.
The goal is simple: give you the best ideas from 2025 in one place, so you can reconnect with what matters, protect your energy, and approach the new year with more clarity and intention.
You’ll hear:
- Lea Anne Groover on gaining clarity and focus through simple daily structure, movement, and intentional prioritization
- Dr. Deborah Day on why sleep, exercise, and nutrition are non-negotiables for sustained performance under pressure
- Brother Curtis on navigating anxiety by bringing it into the light with perspective, trust, and support
- Matthew Emerzian on the mattering mindset and finding purpose, meaning, and significance in everyday work
- Blinn Bates on planning real breaks through intentional absence and why “forced exile” strengthens both life and business
As you listen, treat this like a personal reset session. Steve tees up five questions to keep in mind:
- What tiny daily habit can restore clarity and focus?
- What routine keeps you in a healthy peak state during intense weeks?
- How do you stop running on anxiety and choose a sustainable performance state?
- How do you keep meaning, what “great life” means to you, front and center at work and at home?
- How can you design your firm so you can truly step away?
