Task, Time, Energy: The Purpose-Filled Productivity Podcast

Traveling for work can be exhausting. How can we stay happy and healthy while doing a job that requires extensive travel?
Colin Ryan is a comedic financial speaker who uses humor, storytelling, and motivation to bring the dry subject of personal finance to life. He has spoken to over 500,000 students and adults across North America, and was named one of the top 10 financial presenters in the U.S.
It's probably not surprising to hear that Colin travels a lot for work. You might be surprised to hear how much he enjoys it. He hasn't just mastered the art of staying healthy and happy while traveling. His experiences with traveling have actually enhanced his wellbeing.
What's his secret? A special diet? A new type of exercise routine?
Nope. It's people.
In this episode, Colin describes how the sincere connections he creates with other people help him manage his energy and mental health. He shares some of the experiences he's had while traveling, and how they've been so different from all the division and danger that we see in the news.
“I’ve had the best conversations ever with shuttle drivers or the Hertz rental desk person," Colin says. "People will surprise you if you make space.”
One of the stories he shares is about giving a talk to a group of teen moms in an alternative high school program. Colin describes how that experience allowed him to confront some of his own assumptions and biases. He talks about how those young moms helped him learn to be curious, give respect, and look for the intelligence in people.

Dr. Sara Waltz cared for animals as veterinarian before becoming Area Medical Director for a network of veterinary hospitals. She now works as a Director of Learning and Development for Petfolk, a growing veterinary practice with multiple locations in North Carolina, balancing that role with her responsibilities as a wife and the mom of two toddlers while also working with her husband to care for their small farm and 40 animals.
Sara has great stories and insights to share about tackling the challenges of vet school (and occasionally tackling cows), the relationship between managing time and managing change, and creating the right balance in her career and her family life. She also talks about the importance of understanding ourselves and our own unique abilities—and those of people we lead—in order to create a path to success.

Graham Downey is a graduate of Yale Law School who scored a 180—the highest score possible—on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). After law school, Graham taught LSAT prep courses and tutored students for a test prep company, sharing his knowledge with other people striving to master the test.
The LSAT is one of the most challenging graduate-level entrance exams. It can be frustrating and stress-inducing. It's frequently confusing and occasionally infuriating.
It's also an elegantly crafted exam designed to test the limits of a person's reasoning skills and their ability to think clearly under pressure. It's a test that can teach us valuable lessons about time management.
In this episode, Graham shares tips for the LSAT that can also be useful in our everyday lives. We talk about learning to trust confusion, why slowing down is as important as going fast, and the value of having clear intentions.
We talk about limits, how to push past them, and how the quest for perfection can get in the way.
