    Mo is right about the podcasts...Your interviews touch on such deep topics, having one a week would give me the ability/time to really digest the information. Just my take...but then I'm no billionaire so perhaps I'm not your target audience. I will say, as someone who has faced the very real possibility of death on more than one occasion, the time you have with your girlfriend may be unexpectedly shortened...do yourself a favor and use the time you have to make the most of what you have. My husband and I celebrate the anniversary of when we met, when we married and the anniversary of every month...And I know that one day I will look back and be glad we did.

    1 year of chronic work related stress caused autoimmune disease that almost killed me. The business owner begged me to stay so I stayed until I finally ended up in the hospital. My shutting down body forced me to quit my job. It took me 3 months to build my body back and nearly went homeless. I almost lost everything. I will NEVER sacrifice my health to help someone else get rich ever again!

I too provide a weekly program and If I follow the stats and the prods from social media, I'd be posting something everyday! ( I do not have a big following) and they say you must grow it with a lot of actions and posts. It is crazy. I like what I do and the content I share, but I have empathy for the viewers. Also, these companies will not put me on the threadmill and ruin my life.

I now have time to have a better relationship with her, my family, with eating right, with looking at my finances. I stopped eating the fast food I was bringing home cuz im too tired to cook. Everything changed for the better. Good changes came from a tough situation.

    Prioritized my well being 4 yrs ago & cut work back to what feels tolerable (I'm self employed) & have a good work life balance now. Problem is that I'm now 30g's in debt which creates an entirely different steess. Cost of living went up so much & I've considered moving & cutting costs, have consulted 5 or 6 advisors over the past 4 yrs & there's no good solution.. there are no reasonable ways to cut costs.. so problems arise when prioritizing your well-being which in turn is bad for your well-being... it's tricky to figure out the balance which is partly why people don't try.. it's tough

    Thank you Steven for that wonderful episode! It's one of my favorite. Mo has spoken about so many unspoken truths that you learn while getting older, maybe wiser 😅 and walking through life seeing the world as it is and not as it should be or as we have been taught. The world is changing and we should walk through life with an open mind, heart and eyes. Again, thank you for hosting that well balance podcast. Should you decide to reduce your work level (not a bad idea) for the sake of having less unhealthy stress, more time for your partner, friends and yourself ..... please don't stop your podcast. One episode once a week is totally fine. Quality is better than Quantity. And I really enjoy and learn a lot from you and your guests. Be your life blessed 🙋‍♀️

    If it helps. When I was trying to find out why I drank alcohol to access I was obsessed with trying to find the answer. Then someone said “if you want to know why you drink, stop drinking and you’ll find out.” So I did stop and wow did I ever find out why I drank. 😮That was 25 years ago and I’ve not drunk alcohol since the day I stopped. Maybe you should just stop and see what happens. I was told the alcohol is waiting for me if I want to start again. Same in your case. Investigations like this are not for the faint-hearted - but you will be ok because you strike me as having the heart of a lion. 😊

I listen to every DOAC episode each week, and I’d love to see Steve reduce the number of episodes he releases. Like Mo, I believe (and hope) that Steve is on the verge of pivoting into a new season of his life. It’s time for him to shed the old beliefs that tie his value to an endless pursuit, making room for a life that is more grounding, fulfilling, and wise. I think he’s ready to take the time to focus on what he has long said matters to him, inspiring us to do the same along the way.

    From my perspective, it’s not about taking a break from life and stepping away. It’s about recognizing “why you are doing what you are doing” with the respect of what you are doing shouldn’t stress yourself to the point where you are physically being impaired. Finding the balance is hard. But it could also be just taking time for you at the end of the day to center yourself and invest in yourself, just as much as you are investing in others.
