In this Monday Mindset episode, Nick and Wil tackle a seasonal challenge every leader faces: how to maintain (and even elevate) performance during slow periods like summer vacation and year-end holidays. From productivity mindset shifts to practical planning hacks, they break down how you can turn quiet months into powerful growth seasons. 

Whether you’re in service, sales, or leadership, this episode offers a roadmap to make slow seasons your secret weapon. This episode is packed with leadership gold and a little tough love so you can stay consistent, focused, and results-driven all year long.
