  #73 Why Asking for Help Isn't Weakness (Lessons from Who Not How)

  Aug 17, 202614 min

  Somewhere along the way, we decided that needing help was the same as failing. In this episode, Chris LeBrun breaks down why that's one of the most expensive lies we tell ourselves. Chris shares stories about his grandfathers, two hardworking New England farmers who leaned on their community more than anyone realized, and about learning ham radio, where experienced operators called Elmers guide beginners through the hobby. Then he dives into the book Who Not How by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan, and shares two personal examples, hiring an accountant to finally handle his taxes and bringing in a lawn service to solve years of weed problems, that show why paying for expertise gives you back more than just time. In this episode: • Why Chris's grandfathers, tough and self-sufficient farmers, still asked for help all the time • What the amateur radio community can teach us about mentorship • The core idea behind Who Not How by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan • Why hiring an accountant and a lawn service changed how Chris thinks about his time • How asking for help supports every part of your life: professional, personal, and purpose-driven Show Notes Get the book Who Not How by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan | Hardcover | Paperback | Kindle Book a complimentary 20-strategy call with me - https://wholprod.link/strategy Episode 48 Building a Team to Reach Your Goals - https://wholisticproductivity.com/48 Episode 49 Finding a Mentor: Why Your Goals Need a Guide - https://wholisticproductivity.com/49 Episode 50 You Team Needs An Ally and An Apprentice - https://wholisticproductivity.com/50 Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:25 The Myth of Self-Sufficiency 01:16 The Power of Asking for Help 02:18 A Culture of Helping 04:04 Embracing Community and Support 05:41 Who Not How 06:39 Examples of Who Not How 09:16 Making It Work For You 11:18 Conclusion This episode is sponsored by Efficient.app Don't waste time searching for the best software.

  #72 The Weekly Review Habit That Stops Bad Weeks From Piling Up

  Aug 10, 202617 min

  Your weekly review might be the simplest productivity habit you're not using. Most weeks don't unravel all at once — they slip a little at a time until you look up on a Friday and wonder how you got here. On this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun walks through the exact weekly review he's used for years: three questions, less than ten minutes, and just enough honesty to catch a rough week before it becomes a rough month. Chris also gets into Jeff Bezos' regret minimization framework, and why the regrets that actually keep us up at night are almost never about the risks we took. They're about the things we didn't do. He shares a genuinely uncomfortable story from his early coaching days, and three simple ways to close the gap between the moment and the response you wish you'd given.

  #71 Why You Don't Have to Chase Your Goals Alone

  Aug 3, 202617 min

  Going after a big goal by yourself feels noble, but it's often the slower, harder, lonelier path. In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun shares how building the Wholistic Productivity brand with business partners changed the trajectory of the work, and why shared understanding is something you simply cannot manufacture on your own. Then, Chris turns to a distinction that changes how you think about fear: the difference between reservations and cowardice. Drawing on Ryan Holiday's Lives of the Stoics and a story about Marcus Aurelius, this episode asks the question every person chasing a big goal eventually has to answer — is your hesitation helping you move carefully, or is it just an excuse to not move at all?

  #70 Decision Fatigue Is Real: Batch Your Choices, Protect Your Focus

  Jul 28, 202615 min

  Decision fatigue is real, and it is quietly draining your best thinking before you ever get to the choices that matter. Your brain does not know the difference between deciding what to eat for breakfast and deciding whether to change careers. Every choice draws from the same limited well of mental energy, and that is the idea at the center of this episode: decision fatigue, and the batching practice that protects you from it. In this episode, Chris LeBrun shares exactly how he has automated the small stuff in his own life: The same breakfast, every single morning, for years Weekend meal prepping so lunch never becomes a daily decision A two-outfit Friday rule (#FlannelFriday and #FloralFriday) Batching content and social media creation into one focused session Then Chris turns to a decision most people never batch or even track: how you take care of yourself. Using the sleep, water, and productivity tracker inside the Wholistic Productivity Planner, he explains why self-care is not a break from productivity, it is the foundation of it, and shares a personal story about choosing a family movie night over checking another box during a stressful season. This episode is hosted by Chris LeBrun, host of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, helping you achieve your goals in every area of life so you can dream big, plan smart, and live fully.

  #69 Stop Framing Your Values. Start Using Them

  Jul 21, 202616 min

  Do you know your top values, or do you just know the words for them? There's a real difference between the values you believe in and the values you actually operate from — and most of us are much better at the first one than the second. If you've ever felt busy without feeling aligned, or organized without feeling fulfilled, this episode will help you tell the difference between a decorative plan and one that's actually working for you. In this episode: Why chasing a goal without knowing the value underneath it leads to a "very efficient path to nowhere" Chris's personal story about the four-day work week he didn't know he valued until he lost it How to reverse-engineer your goals to find the values actually driving them Why a plan that isn't serving a purpose is just "steps on a page" The difference between a plan that adapts and a plan that becomes sacred Why you don't need a ten-step master plan — just your purpose and the next best step Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:14 Understanding Values and Their Impact 02:32 The Importance of Aligning Goals with Values 04:59 Putting Your Values To Work 05:49 The Problem With Plans 07:48 Not Sure How To Start? 09:31 Building a Plan 10:37 Conclusion This episode is sponsored by Efficient.app Don't waste time searching for the best software.
