## Resource

Today's guest, Emmy-winning meteorologist turned podcast host and productivity coach, Ted Phaeton, knew something was missing in his life. He had a great career. He got the recognition he craved. But he didn't have true autonomy and freedom and it was eating at him. Ted realized he became too attached to his identity as a meteorologist. Meteorology wasn't his only skill. He's also honed and mastered a productivity system that led to winning an Emmy in meteorology without missing his kid's games. Ted also knew that most men live lives of quiet desperation. He knew there was a male loneliness epidemic sweeping across the country. And he knew the wicked cycle (which comes natural to men) of how loneliness leads to taking on too much which leads to overwhelm and further isolation.

He started The Modern Man Podcast and became a productivity and time mastery coach. This episode is packed with helpful tips about creating a more fulfilling life, getting more done in less time (so you can spend more time on the important things in life like family), and how to radically change your internal dialogue and get out of your own way. Listen now. Here's what Ted and I discuss: Why removing "discipline" from your vocabulary can make you consistent almost overnight How to "visit" the little version of you to get clearer on your life mission Plus, Ted shares some of his most effective and useful time mastery and productivity hacks And more, including… How to elevate your capacity to hold life and virtually eliminate drowning in overwhelm (4:09) How to "sit in" multiple identities and pull wisdom from the most relevant one instead of being chained…
