The 40-Day Shift: Building Capacity for Work, Family, and Self-Trust with Brent Perkins

In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim Fergestad sits down with entrepreneur, advisor, and author Brent Perkins to discuss his new framework, The 40-Day Shift, a practical approach designed to help high performers create more capacity in their lives without sacrificing success. After spending decades building companies and thousands of hours coaching entrepreneurs and executives, Brent noticed a common pattern: successful people weren't struggling because they lacked information. They were struggling because they were exhausted, disconnected, and carrying too much. Brent explains why traditional ideas about work-life balance often fall short and why real transformation begins with self-awareness, trust, and intentionally slowing down. He shares lessons learned from working with hundreds of business leaders and fathers, and why small, consistent daily actions can create meaningful change.   ------------------------------------- Interested in being part of this?
