How to Work Less and Get More Done (The Perfect Week Formula) with Craig Ballantyne

In this episode, I sit down with Craig Ballantyne, Wall Street Journal bestselling author and the person behind the Perfect Week Formula, who has spent 25 years helping entrepreneurs stop building businesses that run their lives. Craig went to the emergency room twice in one year, thinking he was having a heart attack. Nothing was physically wrong. That experience became the foundation for everything he teaches about how you structure your day, your week, and eventually your life.
