If you're striving to lead a perfectly balanced life, this may not be the podcast you want… but it may be the podcast you need.   In this thought-provoking episode, Sheryl and Mike challenge conventional wisdom and discuss how orienting toward an intentional imbalance can break passionless mediocrity and create a fulfilling, extraordinary life .   And when you really look closely, you’ll find it’s not trying to balance the things that are pulling at us every day.  It’s actually the opposite.
