Less Doing…Get More DONE
PRODUCTIVITY GLADIATOR® IS A COMPREHENSIVE & SUPPORTIVE PROGRAM WHICH Implements THE TOOLS AND SKILLS NEEDED BY THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW TO BE TOP PERFORMERS TODAY.
THE PROBLEM
OVERWHELM IS INCREASING — Recently promoted leaders are often overwhelmed by everything going on at the next level. Artificial Intelligence has made it worse! Many have tasks left undone or forgotten. Deadlines missed or not met.
AI CHANGES EVERYTHING, EXCEPT YOUR NEED TO PRIORITIZE AND FINISH YOUR OWN TASKS — In the age of AI, productivity skills aren't less important—they're critical. As AI accelerates work, managing your finite time and finishing what you start becomes the true competitive advantage.
BALANCE SUFFERS — For many, the overwhelm leads to burn out, and their personal lives often suffer, like they’re not able to live the life they desire.
THE GOOD ONES LEAVE — They start to wonder if the grass is greener somewhere else? For businesses, leaders that feel this way can mean high turnover and low employee satisfaction...like the good ones are always leaving.
What Productivity Gladiator Does
A SPECIFIC SET OF SKILLS AND TOOLS — Productivity Gladiator® is about specific solutions for recently promoted office people leaders to get more done at work, handle the onslaught, and maintain their own balance.
ALLOWS ANYONE TO BE A TOP PERFORMER, ESPECIALLY NEW LEADERS — They become the “go-to” employees. The ones who you count on. It’s “set it and forget it” accountability. They’re the ones you KNOW will get it done.
How It Works
IT’S HANDS ON, STARTS WITH BALANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY — How will we make this transformation? We’ll start by identifying life balance for each team member, what is it in reality each week, and how to plan for it. This is the secret to long term success, it’s how you win the marathon, it’s not a sprint.
THEN WE BUILD CORE PRODUCTIVITY SKILLS INCLUDING AI - We'll teach proven productivity systems while incorporating AI as a force multiplier. Participants learn to maintain control of their workflow—using technology strategically without letting it control, overwhelm, or replace them. The focus remains on human skills that technology enhances.
THEN WE LAYER ON TIME MANAGEMENT & COMMUNICATION — We’ll identify the actual dollar value of their time, and their team member’s time, and share tips and life hacks that can create time in their life, to create “breathing room” with solutions they can act on right now. Lastly, we’ll equip the employees with the tools and an operating system for handling the onslaught of the day to day, specifically with all the tasks and emails coming in, while prioritizing their focus on what’s important.
THEN WE ADD PRACTICAL LEADERSHIP — Not just basic leadership skills, specific scenarios and tools to prepare leaders for real world challenges and situations they’ll face.
THE RESULT IS GAME-CHANGING. PRODUCTIVITY GOES UP, TURNOVER GOES DOWN — All this lays the groundwork for how employees get it all done and still have time to thrive. They will be able to handle more responsibility, stick around longer, and feel more fulfilled both at work and in life.

Background & Bio
About Productivity Gladiator™
Learn more about Brian, how he developed Productivity Gladiator™, and how you can benefit from what he’s learned.
What if the secret to winning at social media is barely being on it at all? Brian debates social media expert Corey Perlman, who runs a digital marketing agency but doesn't even have Instagram on his phone—and that contradiction is exactly the point. Turns out the productivity drain isn't social media itself; it's the doom scrolling that's stealing 40 minutes of your day while you pretend you're "networking." Corey drops the truth bomb that influencer metrics and business metrics are completely different games, yet most professionals are playing by Instagram rules and wondering why they feel like failures when seven people like their post.
This conversation gets practical fast: discover the "rented land vs. owned land" framework that'll save you from platform catastrophe, learn why your LinkedIn company page isn't dead (just neglected), and find out exactly how to be authentically present online without pressing a single button yourself. Brian and Corey tackle the hypocrite's dilemma head-on—can you tell people to quit social while still posting yourself?—and land on a game-changing distinction that lets you have your cake and eat it too. You'll get the app blocker that nukes newsfeeds while keeping connections alive, the 15-minute commenting strategy that builds real relationships without the scroll spiral, and the truth about which platforms actually matter for your business (hint: stop chasing TikTok if you're selling B2B).
If you're trapped between FOMO and burnout, convinced you need social media but hate what it's doing to your brain, this episode hands you the escape hatch. The show notes include all the tools to take back control starting today.
