From panic attacks and burnout to building a life that runs on clarity and calm, Craig doesn’t just preach hustle — he systemizes it. Learn how journaling, breathing, and identifying your “magic time” can transform the way you run your business and your life.
You’ll hear:

Top Takeaways:
- Breathe like a Navy SEAL: Box breathing helps reset your nervous system and avoid panic in high-stress moments.
- Your calendar = your values: Block your most important non-work commitments first — like family dinners and workouts.
- Journaling isn’t just for reflection: Use it to track wins, release stress, and plan forward with gratitude and intention.
- Protect your “magic time”: Everyone has a time of day when they do their best work. Guard it like gold.
- Expert syndrome is real: Just because something feels easy to you doesn’t mean it isn’t incredibly valuable to others.
