Manage episode 384881758 series 2652641
Welcome to the ERW podcast, I’m your host, BpB, fellow road warrior, husband of one, father of five, author, and absolutely love the study of habits which we’re going to unpack in this episode.The process of finding a guest to interview for the Elite Road Warrior Podcast can sometimes be a challenge. I want to bring relevant content to the life of a business traveler so if and when I find great content, the question always comes down to one simple question:
Can the content be translated to a road warrior’s life on the road?
Garland earned a Doctorate in Leadership and Spiritual Formation from Denver Seminary. There, he researched the effects of busyness on leaders and how to overcome both individual and organizational overcommitment.
In a moment I’ll be asking the following questions:
- What is the Busyness Vortex on the road?
- What is the CORE4 and how can we implement them on the road of all places?
- What are some productivity suggestions that help us to become unbusy we should apply on the road?
- How do we become unbusy on the road?
- Where are you and how are you?
- Before we go too far into the business travel side, we had a conversation about a Miami Canes fan turned Florida Gator who lives in Tennessee Vols enemy grounds.
Question One: Would you give us the backstory of why you wrote the book, Gettin’ UnBusy and a 30K foot overview of the book?
Question Two: Just as Elite Road Warrior has three focus areas: Work / Health / Home Life, you do as well. Would you share them?
Question Three: Right out of the gate, how do you define busyness?
Question Four: What is the Busyness Vortex on the road?
Question Five:What is the CORE4 and how can we implement them on the road of all places?
Question Six: What are some productivity suggestions that help us to become unbusy we should apply on the road?
Question Seven: What are the different type of constraints and how do we handle them on the road?
Question Eight: (Road Lightening Round)
