About this episode

Jennifer Y. Afriyie discusses the importance of rest in leadership and sustainable success with host Tony Miltenberger.

In Episode 453 of the Follow 2 Lead Podcast, Tony Miltenberger sits down with Jennifer Y. Afriyie for a timely conversation on leadership style, effectiveness, rest, and sustainable success. Jennifer challenges the idea that success requires constant hustle. Instead, she invites leaders to reflect honestly on their strengths, stop confusing busyness with progress, and build a healthier rhythm for leading with clarity and purpose. Tony and Jennifer unpack her REST framework: reflection, energy, strategy, and thriving. Together, they explore how leaders can make better decisions, avoid burnout, honor their values, and create success that does not cost them their health, relationships, peace, or soul. The conversation also touches on grief, joy, comparison, saying yes to the right things, and learning to value rest as a strategic foundation for meaningful leadership. This episode is a powerful reminder that rest is not the opposite of success. It is the strategy behind it.
