Balance or Burnout? Dave Richards Share Insights Executives Pay For

Welcome back to The One Big Thing! Join me as I sit down with Dave Richards, CEO of Elite Performance Associates. Dave is a business coach, consultant, and speaker who works with top leaders across the nation. But what I love most about this conversation is how real and practical it gets—not just about business growth, but about life, family, and the daily choices that shape who we become.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Why leadership is really about seeing people, not just being visible.

✅ How to identify and manage the “four burners” of life—physical, relational, business, and spiritual.

✅ The role accountability plays in true transformation (and why it isn’t punishment).

✅ How to break free from negative self-talk and build habits that actually stick.

✅ Why the people you surround yourself with will determine your direction in life.

Dave’s story is one of courage—walking away from a 23-year career to follow a calling—and the tools he shares can help you take inventory of your own life, refocus your priorities, and make small but powerful changes.

This episode is full of wisdom for leaders, parents, spouses, and anyone chasing growth without losing what matters most.
