Imagine living a life where your identity is not just tied to your job title or the hours you clock in at work. This episode of Train for a Great Life QuickCast takes you on a journey to redefine the balance between who we are and what we do, influenced by a thought-provoking discussion from the Modern Wisdom podcast. Through personal reflections, we uncover the tendency to let our passions, like competing in CrossFit, managing a business, or nurturing relationships, completely consume us, often at the expense of other important aspects of life. Our exploration challenges the notion of constant busyness that society often glorifies, urging a return to a lifestyle where leisure holds its rightful place as a priority.

Drawing from ancient Greek philosophy, we question the modern work ethos that equates success with relentless hustle and long hours. Through personal anecdotes of balancing gym startups, teaching, and family, we offer practical insights on fostering a diverse life identity that encompasses more than just professional achievements. This episode promises to inspire you to stack your life with enriching activities and roles—be it enjoying music, learning new skills, or simply spending quality time with loved ones. Join us for a conversation that advocates for more life and less work, ultimately paving the way for a more fulfilling and balanced existence.
