Welcome back to Here’s the Caveat, the podcast where leaders stop making excuses and start taking ownership. In today’s episode, “Don’t Plan Your Escape. Own Your Every Day,” we’re calling out the countdown mindset. If you're constantly watching the calendar, waiting for the next three-day weekend or tropical getaway, you're not building a life, you’re building an escape plan.

Here’s the Caveat: Vacation isn't the reward for misery. It’s a reset, not a rescue. If your happiness is boxed into one week a year, something's broken.

In this episode, we're going to talk about how real leaders stop living for Friday and start leading with purpose on Monday. Let's break the cycle and build a life we don’t need a break from. Let's get started.
