Episode Synopsis

In this episode of brAVe [skills], hosts Britt Yenser and Leon Prather take on the often-ignored but absolutely essential leadership skill: rest. Forget the toxic “grind harder” advice—this is about choosing proactive rest before burnout takes over. From Leon’s hot takes on hustle culture to Britt’s very pregnant wisdom about listening to your body (and refusing to pick up anything that falls on the floor), the conversation proves that slowing down can actually speed up creativity and productivity.Listeners will discover the Scottish concept of “hurkle-durkle”—the art of intentionally lingering in rest before the day kicks off—and how leaders can build their own daily recharge rituals. The duo also tackle myths about constant performance, highlight the connection between rest and sustainable leadership, and remind us that refusing to work for a moment can be a superpower.If you’re ready to swap the grindset for a healthier mindset, this episode is your permission slip to hurkle-durkle your way to better leadership.Connect with Leon Prather LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leon-prather-cts/Website: https://www.leonprather.com/Connect with Britt YenserLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/britt-yenser/X: https://x.com/brAVe_britt_
