Work-life balance is a myth — and chasing it is making you miserable. In this episode of Game Plans, Brooks Anderson and Steve Beskid break down why "balance" sets you up to fail and why work-life harmony is the real game-changer for busy professionals, parents, and entrepreneurs.

We get into the real talk: how to stop feeling guilty about working when you're with your kids (and vice versa), why the hustle culture AND the anti-hustle culture both get it wrong, and the daily habits that actually help you show up fully in every area of your life.
