We can’t wait to experience miracles with you!   Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations podcast! Today we’re joined by Craig Ballantyne, widely known as “The World’s Most Disciplined Man.” Craig is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, and productivity coach who’s helped thousands of high-performers design lives of purpose, structure, and impact. In this episode, Craig shares his battle with anxiety, how structure saved his life, and his mission to help men become the leaders their families and communities need. Whether you're a father, a business owner, or someone simply seeking more clarity in life, this conversation will light a fire under you.   Highlights: “Discipline is the fastest way to freedom.”   “If you don’t own your day, someone else will.”   “Structure is not a prison; it’s your liberation.”   “Your phone is not your boss. You are.”   “Most men are reactive. Leaders are proactive.”   Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:49 Craig's Journey: From Hockey Dreams to Fitness Business 02:35 Overcoming Anxiety and Building a Coaching Empire 06:05 Core Values and Parenting Philosophy 12:51 Meeting Michelle and Defining Core Values 18:38 Level 10 Effort for Level 10 Problems 30:25 Creating Your Vision for Life 31:33 The Power of Small Tweaks 33:32 Family Vision Planning 40:09 Effortless Discipline Systems 45:59 Eliminating Bad Habits 50:55 The Importance of Sleep 54:08 Managing Anxiety 01:01:12 Connecting with Craig   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Craig Ballantyne: Get a copy of Craig's NEW book Here! - The Darkside of Discipline   IG: https://www.instagram.com/realcraigballantyne/?hl=en   LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigballantyne/   The desire to go off grid and have the ability to grow your own food has never been stronger than before.
