Architects are trained to hustle, but what if the grind is actually holding you back? In this episode, coach Jenna Harrison joins Enoch Sears to explore a radical shift—one that swaps overwork for a schedule that fuels creativity, clarity, and growth.

You’ll hear how an unexpected turning point made Jenna rethink everything about success, and the surprising ripple effects that followed. This isn’t theory—it’s lived experience, backed by results.

Jenna also hints at the simple but powerful shifts that free you from the “time for money” trap. If you’ve ever wondered whether you can work less and earn more, this is your chance to find out.
