Ever wonder how people actually build a fast-growing firm while raising little kids, running a team, and keeping a marriage (with a frequently-absent spouse) intact?

You're not failing — you're making the same mistake almost every busy founder makes: expecting the “hustle harder” playbook to work when your life already has tiny humans, shifting schedules, and emotional labor built in.

That’s the trap we pull you out of in today’s episode. We agitate the reality you already feel (the overwhelm, the guilt, the spinning plates) and then give you the practical, unapologetic systems we use at Prospera to protect the things that matter: client service, family time, and our own sanity. This episode is equal parts “real talk” and “tools you can steal tomorrow.”

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT:

• How to decide which “balls” are glass (non-negotiable) and which are rubber (they’ll bounce).
• The childcare + schedule hacks that actually create predictable work blocks (even with a spouse who flies).
• Which systems we rely on daily — calendars, meal planning, grocery delivery, and tech blockers — and how they buy us headspace.
• How to choose clients, set boundaries, and scale a team without sacrificing family life.

Closing thought: you can chase big business goals and keep your people and values intact — it just needs different rules than the ones you see on Instagram.
