The Balanced Business Dad RJ Campbell and Dustin Hoog

Fear often arrives before the storm, not in its midst. "The Comfort Crisis" illuminated this truth, and it's the springboard for my conversation with Pastor Ryan Taylor, a man whose impact on my life reverberates beyond Sunday sermons. Together, we navigate the confluence of pastoral duties and entrepreneurial vigor, dissecting what it means to balance the six fundamental pillars of life. Ryan, with roots deep in farm soil, shares the unexpected route that led him to spiritual leadership, a path carved by the hand of a mentor who glimpsed potential beyond the fields.

Crafting a life of intention isn't just wise, it's essential—especially when your vocation extends beyond the boundaries of a clock. In this episode, Ryan and I share our journey towards a structured yet fluid routine that honors our commitments to faith, family, and fitness. We discuss the art of segmenting our day to magnify our presence, be it in prayer, at the dinner table, or in business meetings. Tune in to hear how we've learned to harness careful planning and divine guidance to ward off burnout and ensure each pillar stands strong.

In an age where screens often eclipse human connection, it's urgent we reassess our digital priorities. Our discussion turns to the silent yet potent messages we send when we let technology dictate our attention, especially to those we hold dear. But fear not, we don't just diagnose the problem; we offer strategies to keep relationships at the forefront, like Dr. Gary Chapman's techniques to enrich marital bonds. Join us as we explore ways to maintain intimacy and lead spiritually within our families, finding balance in a world teeming with distraction.
