What do you do when all your ventures are struggling at the same time?

In this episode, host Artis Desjardins addresses the crisis moment every multi-hyphenate faces but nobody talks about: when everything is on fire simultaneously, and you don't have enough mental bandwidth to put out all the flames.

What this episode covers:

Artis shares his personal experience of watching multiple ventures hit critical failure points in the same week. A consulting client needed immediate attention. A product launch went sideways. His 9-to-5 demanded extra hours. And his content pipeline completely stalled. The instinct? Fix everything at once. The reality? That's impossible.

You'll discover why the multi-hyphenate advantage becomes a liability during crisis moments. When you're managing one business, a crisis gets your full attention. When you're managing multiple ventures, crises compete for limited mental resources, and the paralysis of "which fire do I put out first?" can freeze you completely.

Key takeaways:

1. Why trying to save everything simultaneously guarantees you'll save nothing well
2. How to conduct rapid triage when multiple ventures need immediate attention
3. The strategic framework for deciding what gets your energy during crisis moments
4. Permission to let some things burn (and how to choose what)

Framework you'll learn:

The Crisis Triage Protocol: assess actual urgency versus perceived urgency, identify which venture has the highest strategic value right now, determine what can survive temporary neglect, and make peace with imperfect solutions during crisis seasons.

Who should listen:

Essential for anyone currently drowning in simultaneous demands, multi-hyphenates who feel paralyzed choosing between competing priorities, or entrepreneurs who need permission to strategically let some things slide.
