Work–Life Balance Is a Lie: JM Ryerson on What Actually Works

Work-life balance is a myth. Burnout is everywhere. And most leaders are lying to themselves about what it takes to win.

In today’s Spartan Leadership episode, Josh Kosnick sits down with JM Ryerson — Leadership & Performance Coach, bestselling author, and founder of Let’s Go Win — for a candid conversation on authenticity, mindset, culture, and the realities of high-performance living.

With over 20 years building elite sales teams and coaching top CEOs, JM breaks down:

🔥 Why “work-life balance” destroys more leaders than it helps
🔥 The simple ACT framework that doubles revenue and strengthens team culture
🔥 How journaling can outperform therapy for burnout
🔥 Why authenticity is misunderstood — and how to actually live it
🔥 Biohacks that transform your energy, focus, and emotional resilience
🔥 How to raise strong kids without enabling entitlement
🔥 What leadership looks like in divided times
🔥 The real cost of suppressing emotions as a man

This is one of the most aligned conversations we’ve had on Spartan Leadership — raw, tactical, and deeply human.

If you lead teams, run a business, or want to stop living in survival mode… this episode will hit home.
