Episode Description
If you want to run hard, you have to learn how to rest. In this episode of Winning Twice, Austin Cheviron breaks down a practice he's been refining for nearly a decade: Rest Week. But this isn't a week of doing nothing. It's intentionally creating space for the important things that get crowded out by the urgent ones. Austin walks through his last Rest Week—including an unexpected week without internet on his annual fishing trip to Canada—and shares how he used the time to disconnect, clean up years of digital clutter, and think about what actually deserves space in his life. Then he opens up his calendar for his current Rest Week, from proactive health appointments and family time to golf, organizing 16 terabytes of business files, improving his systems, and preparing for what's next. The goal isn't to create the perfect week or completely stop working. It's to become more empty, more intentional, and more recovered so that when it's time to run again, you're ready. If your life constantly feels urgent, this conversation might change the way you think about slowing down.
