Mike O'Neill
And it's his role as a serial entrepreneur that will be spending most of our time with. Welcome, doctor Richard.

00:01:37:00 - 00:01:43:09
Dr. Richard Shuster
It is great to be here, Mike. I love your show and I've been excited about this interview for quite a while.

00:01:43:11 - 00:02:08:14
Mike O'Neill
Doctor Richard, you have a phenomenal background. We could talk at length about any one of those things, but it's the serial entrepreneur that caught my attention when you and I were talking before we scheduled this podcast is our listeners are leaders. Many of them are entrepreneurs. And as an entrepreneur, it just seemed as if life can get out of hand and work life balance.

00:02:08:14 - 00:02:28:07
Mike O'Neill
Work life harmony is highly elusive. I would love to spend time with you getting your insights on. To what extent did your life experiences influence that in your mind, and in what ways do you help clients achieve that work life harmony? Welcome again.

00:02:28:09 - 00:02:51:11
Dr. Richard Shuster
Thanks for having me again. this is a topic that I love because it's very personal for me. And so, you know, and you alluded to it, I, I did a Ted specifically around how a series of events, in particular a car accident, which I broke my spine, led me to really focus my life on helping others, which is what lights me up inside.

00:02:51:11 - 00:03:09:06
Dr. Richard Shuster
And everything that I'm doing today is a product of that, so I won't really go into that. If you want to watch the video, you you can and I think you'll enjoy it. But as it relates to the work life piece. So as an entrepreneur, we wear many hats. And so I have a stake in a number of companies.

00:03:09:06 - 00:03:37:10
Dr. Richard Shuster
And so a story for me that I think is foundational here. Mike, I'll go back to the pandemic, early pandemic, June of 2020. And we're still like selling kids and groceries. I was having the best order of my life when other businesses were really struggling. I had never made more money ever. And it almost all ended literally because I had a stroke coming in and just died.

00:03:37:12 - 00:03:59:03
Dr. Richard Shuster
Now, when when I was in the hospital itself, and they actually missed it and had I, had I not, you know, trained where I trained and do what I do as a, as a clinical or do what I did as a clinical psychologist, I wouldn't be here today. I was able to tell the er doctors basically you're doing it wrong.

00:03:59:05 - 00:04:21:12
Dr. Richard Shuster
This is the test you need to give me the I need these blood thinners. And in fact they acquiesced. and I'm here because of at the stroke and. Well, I won't bore your audience with their own anatomy, but, I missed a critical part of my brain that's involved in speech and motor movement called the basal ganglia, and missed it by less than a millimeter.

00:04:21:12 - 00:04:50:03
Dr. Richard Shuster
So I can't even show you with my hands how small the gap was between me being here, talking to your audience, and me either being dead or at worst, completely incapacitated and and a burden to my family. So when a guy who was in his mid-forties, who worked out every day, didn't drink and smoke, had a gratitude and meditation practice, do only organic foods like I did it, all right?

00:04:50:03 - 00:05:13:24
Dr. Richard Shuster
Or it wasn't like I was, you know, doing cocaine and eating Wendy's every every meal, right? when I had a stroke that was almost impossible to me. And yet, when the neurologist who sent me to every other ologist to try and figure out what happened when all of those results were negative across the board, they asked me, well, let's talk about your work.

00:05:13:24 - 00:05:33:18
Dr. Richard Shuster
How how many hours of work do we do? I mean, let's say that again. How many hours a week do you work? And I just kind of looked at him smiling. That said, I don't really work at all. And he was puzzled. What are you you know, did you win the lottery? Do you have a rich uncle? You're a pretty young guys, like I don't get it.

00:05:33:18 - 00:05:56:10
Dr. Richard Shuster
I said, no, no, no, no, I'm an entrepreneur. I, I don't work because I love what I do. And his whole demeanor changed and he was highly irritated by the and he said, Richard, how many hours a week do you will love what you do? And I said about 80 to 100. And he looks at me with such a serious expression in his face, Mike.

00:05:56:10 - 00:06:18:22
Dr. Richard Shuster
And he said, I'm going to tell you something. The fact that you're intact is remarkable. He knew about my car accident. I just just missed paralysis. Like it had a little bit higher. A little bit lower. I would have either been paralyzed from the waist down or the neck down. I didn't very, very fortunate. Right. And I just obviously dodged the largest bullet of all time with with the stroke.

00:06:18:22 - 00:06:32:16
Dr. Richard Shuster
And he said if you don't change your lifestyle, something worse will happen to you. And I took that to heart. And in that moment, and I don't know where this idea came from, but I just said, okay, 25 hours a week for the rest of my life.

00:06:32:16 - 00:06:35:20
Dr. Richard Shuster
didn't know how I was going to do it, but I knew that I had to.

00:06:35:22 - 00:07:00:09
Dr. Richard Shuster
And so I took a pause, kind of from everything. And, and I have really outstanding business partners in the support system. So I was trying to really examine my behaviors. What had I been doing? How what should I change? How could I change it? You know, and yes, I know neuroscience because that's my background. But it was really taking a look at my entire life.

00:07:00:11 - 00:07:21:15
Dr. Richard Shuster
And so as I was kind of reflecting on what I had done previously, Mike, I realized a few things. number one is that I would talk to anybody if you reached out on LinkedIn to me and, and you were selling a copy machine, so I probably would have talked to you here. And now there's no reason I need to talk to somebody who sells copy machines.

00:07:21:15 - 00:07:47:14
Dr. Richard Shuster
With all due respect to copy machine salespeople, if you're on this, this podcast listening. so that was one thing. Like I talked to everybody. I love talking to people. I thought I could find the opportunity in every conversation. number two, I had a sense of urgency around everything because entrepreneurs often do. Right? Like where you don't have a stream of clients, you don't feed your family.

00:07:47:14 - 00:08:21:11
Dr. Richard Shuster
Right? So everything was urgent to me. And so I kind of started there. And the first thing I did was I said, okay, who gets on my business account? Prior to the stroke, it was everybody. So how then do I pare that down and make sure the people, the people who come on, are quality. And so I think if you're listening to this and you're kind of nodding along and you're saying, this makes sense to me,

00:08:21:11 - 00:08:41:02
Dr. Richard Shuster
I would encourage you, if you haven't done this already, to really have a sound understanding of your mission, that company's mission, per se, but your personal mission, you know, for me, my mission is to help people be the best versions of who they are, even if it's of no direct benefit to myself.

00:08:41:04 - 00:09:09:02
Dr. Richard Shuster
And so everything that I've built ties in to that. Right? So I have extreme clarity to a granular level about what it is I'm supposed to be doing in this world and why. So if you know that, then you can move on to the next piece, right? So if you don't know that, hit pause on this. Get out your your journal or your notepad and really start listening and just list your values.

00:09:09:02 - 00:09:33:01
Dr. Richard Shuster
What's important to you? What what are non-negotiable things for you in terms of who you have relationships with? Things like that get very clear on what your values are because once you're rock solid on what your values are, then you can now apply them to your business's mission. So now once you've done that, the next piece of this is the following.

00:09:33:03 - 00:10:03:09
Dr. Richard Shuster
So for me and everybody's kind of funnels is going to be different. I only want to do business with people that care about helping others first and revenue second. I'm not a nonprofit, right? Like revenue is important growth quarter over quarter year over year. That's important. It's crucial. Right. But I want to work with people that truly want to make the world better, be better parents, be better citizens, be better everything.

00:10:03:09 - 00:10:30:20
Dr. Richard Shuster
Right. So if you don't meet that criteria, that's the first that's the first dilemma. Right. And you don't get on my business calendar period. If you are that person, then the next criteria for me is are you the chocolate to my peanut part? Right. That is, are we great things by ourselves? But together the sum of the whole is greater than the parts that has to be there.

00:10:30:22 - 00:10:57:18
Dr. Richard Shuster
So the next step, if they if you make it through step one, you get through tier two. The final one is if we do something together, is there a path through to where we each make X number of dollars? Whatever you are, X is going to be different, right? I know what my axis so if you meet two of the three, you know, maybe we'll hang out and watch a football game together.

00:10:57:18 - 00:11:22:13
Dr. Richard Shuster
But you're not getting out my business account. There's no way. And so what that did was it forced me to schedule fewer people and people who are in alignment with my core values, admission, people who had an offering that made sense and could enhance my own, and to where we could both drive revenue. So that was one of the largest changes that I made.

00:11:22:15 - 00:11:42:00
Dr. Richard Shuster
And people reach out to me, you know, I get 30 people a week who want to come on my podcast, right? And then I don't know how many more they want me to sell, access or reach out to me wanting, you know, let's partner. You don't know me. Let's partner. Right. I hate those those LinkedIn messages. Right. And so that was step number one.

00:11:42:02 - 00:12:08:22
Dr. Richard Shuster
Step number two was the sense of urgency I needed to really reframe what that meant for me. And I thought back to a comment when I was was doing my it wasn't my residency, but it was a, it was a part of my training. While in graduate school, I was at the Emory School of Medicine and working with a severe, not inpatient, but it was an outpatient treatment program.

00:12:08:22 - 00:12:31:18
Dr. Richard Shuster
People with schizophrenia and bipolar and things like that. And so, I'm in my second or third year of my doctoral program and the students were all kind of frazzled, like, we've got all of these responsibilities, psychopharmacology midterm coming up with a notoriously difficult instructor, and everybody's freaked out about it. And how are we going to get all this done?

00:12:31:20 - 00:12:53:07
Dr. Richard Shuster
And the the postdoc, the resident at the time said to me, I'll never forget it. but I didn't apply it until after the stroke. Really? He said, Richard, the work will always get done. Key will always find the time to get done what you need, so don't worry about it. So I took that a little bit further as I applied it to my own personal life.

00:12:53:09 - 00:13:29:17
Dr. Richard Shuster
And the reality is, there are very few scenarios where if we don't take action immediately, if we don't respond to that client, if you get an email from a client at 10:00 at night, 99 out of 100 times, you know, maybe they're working and maybe they don't have good boundaries, right? But most clients don't expect you. Or if you're working for somebody else, most supervisors don't really expect that a reasonable person is going to be on their email, or working on PowerPoint presentations or doing whatever professionally at nine, ten, 11:00 at night.

00:13:29:22 - 00:13:49:20
Dr. Richard Shuster
It's just unreasonable. And so we tell ourselves these lies as entrepreneurs because it's romantic, right? Like most people start a business, they don't go, I'm just going to start a business because I want to get filthy rich. Some do, but most people, there's a sense of purpose behind it. I want to create financial freedom for my family.

00:13:49:20 - 00:14:11:16
Dr. Richard Shuster
I want to be able to retire early and spend time with my significant other. I want to make the world better than it is today. Like we go on these romantic crusades about why we do what we do, and we apply it as a high level overlay for everything that we do. The problem is there are very few situations where that's real, right?

00:14:11:16 - 00:14:33:01
Dr. Richard Shuster
So there are a handful of people who could reach out to me at this point in my career to where that would be the life changing, and I would need to take action on that at 10:00 at night. And I would if if a life changing opportunity came to me, I would deal with it at that time.

00:14:33:03 - 00:15:02:20
Dr. Richard Shuster
If it's not life changing, if you respond to it at 815 the next day, are you likely to lose that opportunity? Is that client likely to say, I said, you know, you're irresponsible. I'm not working with you. Of course not. Right. And so understanding that urgency has its time and place was another critical thing that I implemented in my life to give me more of my time back.

00:15:02:22 - 00:15:24:22
Dr. Richard Shuster
I keep in general, I keep my work confined to where I'm sitting right now. I have my desk, I have my monitors, my PC is here. My work email is not on my phone. I deleted that a long time ago. So if there is an emergency, people who need to know how to reach out to me can reach out to me.

00:15:24:24 - 00:15:51:14
Dr. Richard Shuster
I it's not like I'm off the grid. I'm accessible, but I keep work where it belongs. And so when I shut the door to go upstairs and my kids come home from school, I'm not the entrepreneur anymore. I'm a dad. I'm a husband. Right? And so I'm not saying I had a bad relationship with my my family before my, my wife is amazing.

00:15:51:14 - 00:16:18:06
Dr. Richard Shuster
We've been married almost 15 years. My kids are great, but I definitely spend more time with them, a lot more time with that. And when you think about time as well, I along this journey, I now view time is the ultimate enemy, right? And so we we obviously can't escape time, but there's ways to deal with it. So an example that I love to give.

00:16:18:06 - 00:16:41:03
Dr. Richard Shuster
If you go to a grocery store and there's and you need onions and there's a bag of onions, like 6 or 7 onions for like four bucks, and there's a little tiny plastic container of diced onions for 350. What's the better buy? Well, most people say, oh, bag of onions you get instead of one or half an onion, you get six onions.

00:16:41:05 - 00:17:04:24
Dr. Richard Shuster
That's wrong. And from the entrepreneur. From the entrepreneur who values their time. The answer is to chopped onions because you don't have to spend. Even if it's two minutes dicing an onion anywhere you can save time, you need to save time. And the other way that I save time is every day I take stock of what it is that I need to do.

00:17:05:01 - 00:17:26:08
Dr. Richard Shuster
You know, there are some things that are mission critical. You've got a client waiting on a proposal that's mission critical, that's time sensitive, right? A lot of times we're doing things that we're busy, but we're not really productive. We're working on things, but we're not really moving the needle. We're not really pushing the business forward. So I call them the 40s.

00:17:26:10 - 00:17:56:21
Dr. Richard Shuster
and these are do delegate delay and drop. And so every morning I take a look at what I've got going on and those mission critical things, those things that have to be done, particularly those things that are difficult. The more difficult the task, the earlier in my day, I get it done. And you should always, you know, there's science around this that I you know, in the interest of time, I will get into.

00:17:56:21 - 00:18:14:22
Dr. Richard Shuster
But the more difficult tasks that require a greater degree of cognition, you put them at the top and you move everything down to by the time you get to whatever is left, it's kind of easy, right? so to do is stuff that only you can do, stuff that has to be done. Now, and then you go down the list, right.

00:18:14:22 - 00:18:39:19
Dr. Richard Shuster
What is it that I need to do? But I don't need to do it today. Delay, push it to the next day. Push it to the next week. What is it that I need to do? But that can be accomplished by a member of my team or if you don't have a team, what could be accomplished by somebody on Fiverr or Upwork or by, a VA, right?

00:18:39:21 - 00:19:09:20
Dr. Richard Shuster
Delegate. Get it off your plate so you have more time to spend on your business rather than in your business. So we have do we have delay? We have delegate it trauma. There's there is plenty of stuff that comes across our desk that is just not going to serve us. It's not going to benefit us. Somebody ask you to do something, you don't want to do it.

00:19:09:22 - 00:19:37:11
Dr. Richard Shuster
It doesn't. It's not good timing. You know, you have to view things as if I'm spending time doing something that's taking away from something else, right? So the more stuff that you take on that is either unnecessary and or doesn't align with your mission, your purpose, your values. So you're taking away from personal time, you're taking away from your family time.

00:19:37:12 - 00:19:56:11
Dr. Richard Shuster
Right? So be very mindful of what you say yes to and what you don't. So if it's something that doesn't serve me, I just drop it. And I have nice ways of doing that right. You know, I kind of I have scripts that I've written out for in different scenarios where I very politely tell people I'm not interested.

00:19:56:11 - 00:20:36:12
Dr. Richard Shuster
Now reach reach back to me in quarter three, or I'm not interested ever. And and I'll, you know, I'll let them down gently. It's not you. It's me. Kind of a thing, right? I kind of want to be a jerk to people, but I protect my time so intensely because. Because you have to. And if, as an aside, if you're listening to this and that makes you uncomfortable, if you were the kind of person who is a people pleaser, who doesn't like to hurt people's feelings, you need to really get comfortable with the art of saying no and you and no should be your automatic.

00:20:36:14 - 00:21:03:15
Dr. Richard Shuster
Your go to should be no. Again, there's ways to say no. That's really polite. I'm sorry. I can't deal with this right now. I'm really interested in what you have to say, and I might see some synergy around that. But right now, I'm focused on a mission critical project. It's deadline intensive. and I give every client that I work with 100% of who I am all the time.

00:21:03:19 - 00:21:26:16
Dr. Richard Shuster
And if we're going to do something together, I would extend you, of course, that same courtesy. But right now, it's this reach out to me in July, right? Something like that. So there's there's ways of establishing these boundaries. another thing that I think is really critical that I've implemented my, like, a self-care. I never did this. And I'm a psychologist and I never did this, right.

00:21:26:18 - 00:21:47:10
Dr. Richard Shuster
self-care is so important, you know, when and whether whatever self-care is to you, you know, it might be meditating and might be going for a walk. It might be exercising, it might be watching Netflix, you know, with with your wife or your husband, whatever it is. But not only do you need to do it, you need to lock it in your schedule.

00:21:47:12 - 00:22:28:24
Dr. Richard Shuster
And that sounds very counterintuitive, but I'm not going to take time out of my workday to go watch a movie with my wife. Are you crazy? You have to do it. And here's here's why. Number one, if you don't schedule it, there's no universe in which you're going to do it. It's just not going to happen, right? You will fill your calendar with something else, and there's a pretty significant amount of data that's been collected over the years from a research standpoint that suggests that we're actually far more productive and effective and efficient when we're rested, when we're feeling we're less stressed when we're happy, right?

00:22:28:24 - 00:22:51:24
Dr. Richard Shuster
So I love to take time. I like I'll schedule my workouts every day during the day. Right. And so I've got those endorphins flowing through me and feeling good. Back to work. I will end my day and sometimes I will schedule. I'll do this maybe once a month, once every six weeks, in the middle of the middle of the week, I'll block the whole day off.

00:22:52:01 - 00:23:11:02
Dr. Richard Shuster
And it's just for me. It's just for me. And so, you know, again, you can really only do that as an entrepreneur. You can't do that if you work for somebody else. Your boss really won't like you just I'm going to take off Wednesday. You know, for for Mike, day like that generally doesn't fly. But you have to protect your emotional well-being.

00:23:11:02 - 00:23:31:21
Dr. Richard Shuster
Of course, you know, sleep and diet and exercise, those things are all critical. And we don't have the time to to go into why. But I will say this, if you are the type of person that is on your phone and using your phone right up until the time you go to bed, you're doing your brain and your body a tremendous disservice.

00:23:31:23 - 00:23:59:03
Dr. Richard Shuster
the light emanated from the phone, which is an a blue light spectrum is basically telling you the little rooster inside of your head, cock a doodle doo. It's it's releasing hormones that tell them, tell your brain it's daytime, even if you put on the blue light filter. So because the phones can do that, that's helpful. The fact of the matter is, if you're watching videos, if you're reading, if you're doing pretty much anything, you're stimulating your brain.

00:23:59:05 - 00:24:19:18
Dr. Richard Shuster
So, this isn't popular. But I tell people, get an old school $10 alarm clock from target and put it away from home, put it on your nightstand, put it somewhere. We actually have to get out of bed to turn off that alarm. If that's a challenge for you, and charge your phone in the kitchen, put your phone elsewhere.

00:24:19:20 - 00:24:41:05
Dr. Richard Shuster
But these are things that if and don't try all these things that I've just talked about for the last 25 minutes at once, start small, pick the one that you think I can do this for 30 days and really commit to it. But just the one thing and see how it goes. And then add another and add another.

00:24:41:07 - 00:25:06:04
Dr. Richard Shuster
You know, you can't have successful habit change by trying to change everything at once. You have to do with little by little. Some of these are easy to do. Some of these can be implemented pretty painlessly, but if you do these things, which you're going to find is and it's remarkable because I'm now I'm making more money, a lot more money than I made in 2020.

00:25:06:06 - 00:25:29:23
Dr. Richard Shuster
and I'm spending so much less time working than I ever have. I, I don't love the term balance, because balance implies you've got like, a seesaw, right? Like you have a big game and you have to perfectly have the weight. And if it's not exactly aligned at the same time, it topples. So I don't think that's a reasonable analogy.

00:25:29:23 - 00:25:54:14

I think harmony is what makes more sense, because it's about you having a harmonious relationship with your work. And by having a harmonious relationship with your work by default. If you do it right, you're going to have a more harmonious relationship with your world. And that means the things that are important to you and the people that are important to you.

Doctor Richard, you you have packed a great deal in this conversation. And as you kind of reflect on what you have shared with us today, what do you want our listeners to have as takeaways?

00:26:08:24 - 00:26:26:20
Dr. Richard Shuster
Let me be the cautionary tale to you, right? I believe when things happen to us, we have two choices, right? We either ball up the sky and blame whatever deity we choose to believe in, or we can learn from them. For me, I kind of have this third piece that I want to share my experience with others that they don't have.

00:26:26:22 - 00:26:57:13
Dr. Richard Shuster
What happened to me happened to that. And so take what I said to heart. I was in the best shape. I did everything right, and I almost killed myself because I was working too hard. And so began implementing strategies. And you can take these strategies, modify them, make them be worse, but start doing things to allow yourself the time to to take care of yourself and be present for the people who love you the most.

00:26:57:15 - 00:27:24:09
Mike O'Neill
Doctor Richard, before we wrap up, I'd like to ask a question of our listeners, and that is, I like to ask them to reflect on something important. And I think it marries perfectly with what you've shared. And that is, are people following you because they feel they have to or because they genuinely want to? as a leadership coach, I've had the privilege of guiding many high achieving leaders through these journeys.

00:27:24:11 - 00:27:50:09
