Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Monday and Wednesday, I interview someone around the world who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

On Fridays, I interview a well-known expert from the fields of personal or business development who share experiences, tools, and insights to help our listeners along their journeys.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured expert, Pete Leibman. Welcome, Pete.

Hey, Don, thanks for having me. It is our pleasure. A few words about Pete. Pete Leibman is a consultant,

speaker, and bestselling author who's been featured on Fox News, CBS Radio, and CNNMoney.com.

He's the creator of stronger habits.com, and his latest book is an Amazon bestseller

called Work Stronger, Habits for More Energy, Less Stress, and High Performance at Work.

Before writing Work Stronger, Pete worked as an executive recruiter at Hydrick

and Struggles, one of the world's premier executive coaching firms. In his free time, he teaches

one of the largest group exercise classes in the Washington, D.C. area. Well, Pete, today's topic is

don't work longer, work stronger. So that's going to be a fun topic to jump into for many reasons.

But before we get into that topic, tell our listeners around the world just a little bit about

your background and how you got here today. Sure. Well, again, thanks for having me.

Really excited to be here. And before writing my book, Work Stronger, like you said, I worked at

Hydric and Struggles, which is a global executive recruiting firm. And in that role, I interviewed hundreds of leaders for various

executive positions and really got to see up close just how much pressure that leaders face in

today's world. And it's not just leaders. It can be people at any level. There's a lot of pressure

to work longer hours to be on 24-7. And a lot of people buy into this myth that the longer you work, the more

productive you'll be. And one of my key messages is that it's stronger hours, not longer

hours. That's the key to being your best at work and outside of work.
