Your leadership doesn’t start with strategy. It starts with energetic presence.

In elite performance circles, there’s a quiet truth no one wants to say out loud: The best don’t work harder. They recover better.

It’s that we don’t understand what we’re truly spending. Energy—not time—is the real currency of high performance. And most people are in debt.
