Welcome back to the 4 Fit Fatherhood Podcast — where we explore faith, family, finance, and fitness to help fathers become the leaders they’re meant to be.

This week, I’m joined by Russell Harvey, known around the world as The Resilience Coach. Russell brings over a decade of experience helping leaders navigate chaos, overcome overwhelm, and build true, lasting resilience in both their work and personal lives.

We unpack:

• The truth about overwhelm and why it's not just a time management problem

• The “Resilience Wheel” and the 7 elements you need to master

• Why multitasking is a myth and what to do instead

• How your purpose becomes a compass in uncertain seasons

• What it really looks like to lead your family from a place of strength—not survival

Whether you're leading a company, a team, or just trying to show up strong at home, this conversation will help you rethink how you manage pressure, priorities, and your own well-being.
