If I could step in the ring with one spirit right now, it would be the spirit of busyness.

Not work.

Not responsibility.

Not building something meaningful.

Busyness.

The spirit that makes you feel productive… but leaves you empty.

In this episode, Buddy breaks down one of the most subtle attacks on leaders today — constant distraction. Not catastrophe. Not crisis. Just endless activity that slowly drains your clarity, your presence, and your joy.

Through the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10, we explore how even good work can pull us away from what matters most.

Busyness pulls us apart.

Pulled by:

• notifications
• expectations
• urgency
• ego
• fear of missing out

And if we’re not careful, it slowly bleeds our joy and weakens our leadership.

This episode unpacks how to fight back with three leadership disciplines:

• Cut fake urgency

• Build margin

• Protect your center

Because the enemy doesn’t always destroy leaders.

Sometimes he just keeps them busy.

Protect your joy.

Protect your focus.

Take the center.

And whatever you do…

Don’t take the bait.
