On this episode, Alan introduces us to our "Beyond Tired" series, where listeners are invited to assess their tiredness levels and its sources. We delve into the three types of fatigue: "lowercase t" tiredness, which is an expected short-term fatigue that requires a planned break; "UPPERCASE T" tiredness, indicating extended fatigue without a reversal plan, prompting serious reflection; "Beyond tired", a profound state nearing burnout, often accompanied by numbness and possibly depression. Alan emphasizes the importance of medical checks and therapy, especially for those experiencing the latter two types. The episode also highlights a holistic evaluation grid presented by Jesus, encouraging listeners to evaluate which area of their life – body, mind, relationships, heart, or soul – is causing the most fatigue. Which tiredness level are you experiencing, and which life area is your  primary fatigue source. Journal your reflections  for deeper insight and actionable steps.

Who you are matters more than what you do... On today's episode, Alan and Jonathan discuss the topic of identity and why we need to consistently remind ourselves that what we do, who we lead, the impact we create are not what defines us.

Consistency is something we long for. Consistency in our organizations. Within our teams. With our routines and rhythms. Within our relationships. The funny thing about consistency, though, is that you don't have to create it. You're already consistent. Good, bad, or indifferent. Put another way, Healthy, unhealthy, or headed toward burnout, you are already consistent. The challenge is finding where your consistency lies and HOW to take steps toward becoming more consistent with the things that matter most in your life and leadership.  On today's episode of our summer series, Alan and Jonathan jump into the topic of consistency and why consistency is something we need to cultivate in order to live and lead healthier, more effective, and with more impact.
