In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, Josh Bitsko talks about one of the most overlooked parts of leadership and performance: rest. Drawing from years in law enforcement and leadership, Josh explains why true resilience is not about constantly grinding, it is about knowing when and how to recover.
He shares lessons on how fatigue can cloud judgment, how rest can be modeled as a strength instead of weakness, and why even the best leaders need to schedule recovery with the same discipline they apply to work. This episode is a reminder that rest is not a reward for exhaustion; it is part of preparation for what comes next.
