Why Sacrificing Yourself for Your Family Is Slowly Destroying It
Why Sacrificing Yourself for Your Family Is Slowly Destroying It
The personal pillar is the one most of us give up silently. It is also the foundation under the other three. This is the structural maintenance on the only platform you have.
The 4-Life Method Podcast
You are not running a career with a life attached. You are running four lives at once. Work. Personal. Father. Marital.
If your work is intense, your children are young, your marriage runs on the leftovers of your energy, and your body no longer forgives what it forgave at twenty-five, this show is for you.
The premise: four lives, one system. Architect them together, or the whole thing collapses.
I am Philippe Turrian. Senior executive at a private bank in Geneva. Husband, father of two. Still in the role, twelve-hour days, under the same pressure you are. This is the system I built to keep all four standing. Not because I have figured it out perfectly. Because I needed one and one did not exist in the form I needed.
One episode every Thursday. No motivational platitudes. No work-life balance advice.
Start with the Manifesto. Then the four Foundations, one per life.
