The Time Billionaire: How to Lead Without Burnout with Forbes Contributor and Writer, Rebecca Shaddix #136
This week’s Extrology is not a productivity pep talk, it’s an exposé of all the habits you’ve been telling yourself you’ll change, but never have…
Rebecca Shaddix is a Founder, Forbes contributor, and a formidable voice on the real cost of success in high performance environments.
She’s built a philosophy from first-hand burnout, which places her perfectly to deconstruct the dangerous myths driving pseudo-productivity today.
Drop the hero complex and reclaim your time, as Rebecca joins us on an unmissable hour of the Extrology podcast.
Lee and Rebecca discuss:
Redefining productivity by focusing on intentional micro-moments, strategic output, and personal well-being
The concept of being a "Time Billionaire" purposefully investing your time rather than simply spending it
Strategies to identify and interrupt unproductive habits
Embracing acceptable mistakes, and learning to pick your priority
