885. A Thousand Small Compromises

Dr. Killeen explores a simple but powerful idea: big failures rarely happen all at once. More often, they're the result of countless small compromises that slowly pull us away from the practice, leadership style, and life we originally set out to build. Whether it's hiring someone who doesn't fit your culture, avoiding a difficult conversation, or saying yes to commitments that don't align with your priorities, those small decisions add up over time. The clearer your goals are, the easier it becomes to recognize the compromises that are quietly steering you off course. In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares why defining your goals is one of the best ways to protect your time, your culture, and your future. When you know what you're building, it becomes much easier to say no to what doesn't belong.
