In Episode 401 of the Follow 2 Lead Podcast, Tony Miltenberger sits down with author, speaker, and leadership coach Dallas Burnett to talk about what it really takes to lead with balance and purpose. From avoiding burnout to building systems that support sustainable growth, Dallas offers practical wisdom for leaders who feel stretched too thin. Together, they explore the power of saying "no," the importance of recovery rhythms, and how effective delegation—fueled by trust and even AI—can help leaders stay focused on what matters most. Dallas also shares personal insights about the influence of family, the creative process, and how restlessness can be a sign that it’s time to pivot. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, pastor, or creative leader, this episode will help you lead with clarity, margin, and purpose.
