Is time Money—or is money time?

Early in my journey, I treated time like most people do—a tool to earn money. But over the years, I’ve come to realize that time is far more valuable than money. It’s not just a resource; it’s the foundation of mastery.

In this episode, I’m sharing some personal insights and practical strategies to help you rethink how you approach time. Because when you understand the connection between time and money, and how to steward both wisely, everything starts to shift.

Here are my 3 key takeaways:

1. Delegate with intention.

I’ve always taken pride in knowing how to do every part of my business. But mastery isn’t about doing everything yourself—it’s about knowing when to release control so you can focus on what moves the mission forward. Delegating strategically creates space for your genius to grow and your business to scale.

2. Extend grace—but keep your standards.

Let’s be real—no-shows and reschedules used to get under my skin more than I cared to admit. But I’ve been on both sides of the equation. Life happens. That doesn’t mean you lower the bar. Extend grace, but let people know you value your time—and theirs.

3. Protect your time like it’s currency.

Your calendar reflects your priorities. If you’re not intentional, people will spend your time for you. I’ve put systems and boundaries in place—not because I’m too busy, but because I know what’s worth my energy. Time is the one thing you don’t get back, so act like it.

Elzie Flenard The Mayor of Podcast Town

I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur as a teenager. I would create my own board games and basketball leagues in my bedroom. I would dream of flying cars and spend hours solving problems with business ideas.

I've had just about every job out there - I was a janitor for a short time, I've worked fast food, I worked in an ammunition factory (wasn't a bad gig actually), I've cleaned the bottom of barges --- I even worked in a CD manufacturing company! I've worked in corporate as an electronics technician, electrical engineer and operations manager.

These experiences shaped me. They helped me become the business leader and entrepreneur I am today. I've been podcasting since 2016 and I look forward to many more years of having conversations with bright minds from all walks of life.

I get to live my dream of being an entrepreneur. I get to chart my own path and impact others through my work ... I'm truly Livin' the Dream!
