The True Cost of Wasted Energy

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I answer live audience questions about the tension between ambition and surrender, and how to stop wasting energy on what pulls us off course. I talk about why time matters so much, how to balance business, family, faith, health, and finances, and what it means to stay aligned in both the human experience and the infinite. I also share my thoughts on spotting toxicity, asking uncomfortable questions, learning from setbacks, and knowing when growth is happening versus when anxiety is taking over. Along the way, I reflect on parenting, mentorship, education, and the habits that help us recover, refocus, and move forward with purpose.
