Balance
Success without sacrificing what matters most.
Plenty of men win at work and lose at home, and call it providing.
This talk goes after a specific trade that gets made quietly, over years, without anyone naming it: the hours, the overtime, the second job, all justified as sacrifice for the family — and the family that ends up seeing less and less of the person making it.
Brian doesn’t argue against hard work. He argues against unexamined work. The keynote walks through where the trades are actually happening, what they’re costing, and how to make them deliberately instead of by default.
Balance here isn’t an even split of hours. It’s alignment — the calendar matching the values, at least most of the time.
45–60 minutes.
Corporate wellness programming, union and manufacturing audiences, and any workforce running heavy overtime.
