from Men's Leadership God's Way...Burnout Recovery | Decision Making Under Pressure for Leaders | Executive Stress Relief · host Don Wood

"If you're into anything for the money or recognition or to get to the top of the hill, you're in it for the wrong reasons because when you get to the top, you're going to realize there's nobody up there, and you're all alone." —Joe Hannigan Some days it feels like the weight of work, family, and life is pressing down on us, and no matter how hard we try, the path forward isn't clear. We can even question our decisions, our purpose, and whether our efforts even matter in the long run.  Sometimes, we don't find the proper direction in hustle or strategy, but in the quiet courage to trust and to let the right priorities guide our steps. Joe Hannigan knows what it's like to stand at a crossroads where success and faith pull in different directions. From building businesses to navigating crises, he's faced moments that tested his values, marriage, and sense of purpose.  Through it all, he discovered that putting faith first doesn't just sustain you, it transforms how you lead, love, and live. Listen in as Joe shares his journey through building resilient businesses, managing high-pressure leadership, and maintaining a strong marriage. While exploring practical ways to prioritize faith, navigate financial and career setbacks, cultivate meaningful relationships, and make decisions that align with values and purpose.
