How do they do it all?

There are a variety of people out there that seem to be able to do it all, and do it very well.

Michael Caldwell is the mayor of Woodstock (Georgia), owns a thriving digital agency, has an amazing family, and yet he’s able to spend time with people without any stress.

Adam Walker has five kids, hosts a handful of podcasts, runs TogetherLetters and a few other companies, yet he’s able to hang out and catch a round of Fortnite with me quite often.

Seth Godin has blogged every day for decades, hosts regular podcasts, and has published like 20 best-selling books, yet always seems at ease.

David Persson has an amazing family, is on multiple boards, runs a company, works at another, and is currently training to run a marathon in every state in the US.

Ali Green co-owns GreenMellen with me, is working on another start-up, has two amazing kids with her husband, is room mom at her school, volunteers constantly, attends every sporting event her kids are in, yet she’s 100% present with everyone around her.

What gives? Are these people all superheroes? These five very well might be, but that’s not the only reason for their success — they all know what to skip.

In my mind, I think “if they can do it, so can I”, so I should continue to blog daily, start publishing a bunch of books, run for office, start another company, volunteer a ton more, and start running a bunch of marathons. They can do it, I can too! Not really.
