Work-Life Balance is futile; pursue "Strategic Imbalance" that aligns with your values and goals [HSF]

In today’s Hot Seat, I’m talking with Joe Dobson, who’s feeling stuck trying to balance earning paychecks with actually building his career. He’s been organizing his time and putting in the work, but still feels unclear about direction and how to network strategically. In this conversation, I guide him through accepting that you’ll never get it all done — but you can choose what truly matters. Together, we explore how to stop chasing work-life balance and instead practice deliberate, strategic imbalance that aligns with your goals and values.
