Hi Reader,
Arthur Brooks is one of those guests who makes you stop and think long after the conversation ends.
In this episode, Arthur and I dive into something every leader feels, but few know how to name: why so many people are more productive, more connected, and more efficient than ever—and yet feel anxious, distracted, and strangely empty.
We talk about AI, attention spans, the meaning crisis, and why the future belongs to leaders who can help people become more human, not less.
Plus, I asked Arthur one more question about his morning routine and he blew my mind with the science behind why he does what he does, and he's prolific. So, preachers, listen in.
If you lead in a culture shaped by noise, speed, and constant distraction, this conversation will help you think more clearly about what your church and your leadership need most right now.
Give it a listen, and then share it with a friend or your team.
🎧 Listen now and take the next step toward healthier leadership. Watch it on YouTube or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
