Time is the Only Currency (with Uncle Jimmy)

from F*ck The Standard · host Rob McCarthy

Most guys don’t realize they’re on autopilot until life starts breaking in half.This episode is with Uncle Jimmy — Boston union man, union vice president, host of Uncle Jimmy’s Podcast — and he’s lived the version a lot of us brag about: 7 days a week, 16 hours a day, convinced the whole operation would collapse without him… while his marriage and life were collapsing quietly in the background.We get into the real cost of being “the reliable one.”The ego behind “they need me,” the dinners you half-attend the family time where you get "a call," or the games you physically show up to while your head is still at work.And the hard truth: your job will replace you fast , your family can’t.Jimmy drops the line that sums it up:Time is the only currency.Money can be replaced. Hours can’t.If you’ve ever taken a work call during a holiday… if you’ve ever told yourself “just one more shift”… if you’ve ever felt your family getting used to you not being there, this one’s going to hit.Listen to Uncle Jimmy’s Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/77179VlSzVFSf3qZF1GAOW?si=2633d6419e554daeBook, Resources & Support: https://stan.store/fts25
