In this episode… Healthcare often rewards efficiency, compliance, and the search for the "right" answer. Yet when the goal is human flourishing, the better question may be how to build systems, habits, and communities that help people live and lead with more energy, clarity, and purpose. What would change if health were treated like a life-long strategy instead of a transaction? Dr. David Haase, a physician specializing in personalized and systems-based medicine, argues that sustained health starts by looking at the whole person rather than chasing isolated symptoms. For entrepreneurs, he suggests prioritizing brain health, protecting sleep by treating the bedroom as a sanctuary, and continuing to learn as a way to preserve cognitive function while aging. Health improves when people make daily decisions that support energy, resilience, and long-term purpose. In this episode of The Decision, Robert Hartline and Eric Jackson sit down with Dr. David Haase, Founder and Executive Physician at MaxWell Clinic, to discuss health strategies for entrepreneurs. Dr. Haase shares the importance of brain health, how sleep impacts performance, and how ambition, learning, and community support long-term wellness.
