Trying to manage your personal and professional life is a delicate balancing act. And part of being an entrepreneur means sacrificing your personal time for success. Is there a way to achieve that ideal balance? We’re talking with someone who strives for intentional living and believes that the perfect balance is found by embracing imbalance. Join us in today’s conversation with investor Curt Roberts of Kickstart (a VC firm for startups in Utah, Colorado, and the Mountain West) for a special episode of Perfect Pitch. In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • Why Curt believes balance is never achievable, and how you can choose your imbalance to discover a “healthy tension” between priorities
  • The art of saying “no” and Curt’s experience with his depression diagnosis
  • How to determine a hierarchy of priorities
  • The practice of compartmentalizing our time, rather than striving for balance
