00:00:00,741 --> 00:00:01,641
Welcome to be.

2
00:00:01,641 --> 00:00:05,661
Well do well, this show is
all about exploring the myth

3
00:00:05,751 --> 00:00:07,341
that is work-life balance.

4
00:00:07,761 --> 00:00:11,061
My name is Amin and I am excited
to be your host for the show.

5
00:00:11,971 --> 00:00:15,691
I've spent the last decade on a
quest to achieve work-life balance.

6
00:00:16,021 --> 00:00:17,791
And I've learned a lot along the way.

7
00:00:18,181 --> 00:00:21,121
Ironically, the thing that I
determined is that work-life

8
00:00:21,121 --> 00:00:23,011
balance doesn't actually exist.

9
00:00:23,791 --> 00:00:24,901
When I think of balance.

10
00:00:24,961 --> 00:00:29,071
I think of one of those old scales
on one side is your personal life.

11
00:00:29,221 --> 00:00:34,021
And on the other side is your work life
to be balanced suggests that both sides

12
00:00:34,021 --> 00:00:36,241
are stationary and have equal weight.

13
00:00:36,751 --> 00:00:39,871
And he changed to one
side results in imbalance.

14
00:00:40,596 --> 00:00:44,766
That imbalance is what causes us so
much stress because we're constantly

15
00:00:44,766 --> 00:00:46,176
trying to get back to center.

16
00:00:47,496 --> 00:00:49,086
Life is constantly changing.

17
00:00:49,361 --> 00:00:51,731
When we're younger, we
have much more energy.

18
00:00:51,881 --> 00:00:54,911
We spend more time outdoors
and we probably laugh more.

19
00:00:55,451 --> 00:00:59,561
As we get older, we start to
accumulate things and responsibilities.

20
00:01:00,071 --> 00:01:01,241
We get more serious.

21
00:01:01,391 --> 00:01:05,381
We spend more time working so that we can
earn more money to pay for these things.

22
00:01:05,741 --> 00:01:09,611
Then perhaps you have kids and
everything gets thrown off again.

23
00:01:11,321 --> 00:01:13,631
Clearly life is seldom balanced

24
00:01:14,289 --> 00:01:18,939
In each episode, I'll be discussing
various topics, ranging from business

25
00:01:18,939 --> 00:01:22,869
and marketing to health and fitness,
to parenting and productivity.

26
00:01:23,529 --> 00:01:28,269
Occasionally I'll bring on a guest
and deep dive into a specific topic as

27
00:01:28,269 --> 00:01:30,579
an entrepreneur, husband and parent.

28
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:34,839
I know how challenging life can become,
but I'm here to tell you that you don't

29
00:01:34,839 --> 00:01:36,639
have to choose between being well.

30
00:01:37,149 --> 00:01:41,019
Or being healthy, you don't have
to choose between work and life.

31
00:01:41,289 --> 00:01:43,599
You can live a full and joyous life.

32
00:01:43,839 --> 00:01:47,049
If you're willing to let go of the
notion that your life has to be

33
00:01:47,049 --> 00:01:48,999
perfectly balanced all the time.

34
00:01:49,659 --> 00:01:52,269
I'm so excited that you're
here on this journey with me.

35
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:54,129
If you're ready, let's go.
