#1: What is Wholistic Productivity?

Welcome to the very first episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast! I’m Chris LeBrun—husband, father, nonprofit fundraiser, and entrepreneur—and I’m here to help you dream big, plan smart, and live fully.

In this kickoff episode, I share my personal journey from burnout and toxic “work harder” productivity to a healthier, more balanced approach that I call Wholistic Productivity. Together, we’ll explore:

• Why our traditional views of productivity are outdated (and even harmful)
• The difference between chasing goals and pursuing what truly matters
• How professional, personal, and purpose-driven goals all fit together
• The three core principles of Wholistic Productivity: intentionality, balance, and reward

If you’ve ever felt like productivity advice leaves out your real life—or pushes you toward burnout—this episode sets the foundation for a new way forward.

🎧 Listen in and join me each week as we bust myths about productivity, share practical strategies for managing your time, energy, and focus, and learn how to achieve your goals in every area of life.
