    1KHO 828: Think of Leisure as a Skill | Luke Burgis, The One and the Ninety-Nine
    Jun 15 2026
    We spend so much time learning how to work, achieve, optimize, and produce that many of us have forgotten how to simply enjoy being alive. In this thought-provoking conversation, Luke Burgis explains why leisure isn't a reward for getting everything done. It's a skill that has to be practiced. Together we explore the tension between belonging and individuality, why technology makes it harder to know what we truly want, the disappearance of rites of passage, and what it takes to raise kids who can think for themselves in a world full of noise and influence. More than anything, this episode is an invitation to resist being swept along by the crowd and to become the kind of person who knows why they believe what they believe.

In this conversation, Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and former NFL player Andrew East share why commitment has become one of the most misunderstood ideas of our time and why the things we want most like joy, calm, mastery, deep relationships, thriving families, and meaningful work are found on the other side of sticking with something long enough to see what it can become. From marriage and parenting to athletics, business, and life beyond the spotlight, Shawn and Andrew offer a refreshing countercultural message for anyone feeling distracted, discouraged, or tempted to start over. This is a conversation about choosing depth over options, purpose over pressure, and believing that the life you want is worth building one committed day at a time. You're gonna love it!!!
