Ego, Leadership, and the Power of Sacred Time with Josh Reeves

In this episode of Powerful and Unpolished, host Tim Salmans sits down with spiritual leader and author Josh Reeves to explore the difference between the time we manufacture through busyness and the deeper “sacred time” that reconnects us with who we truly are. Josh shares the story that inspired his book Sacred Time: Finding True Peace in a Busy World and how modern life often pulls us away from the moments that matter most.
Together, Tim and Josh unpack the tension between ego and authenticity, the challenges of true leadership, and why meaningful conversations are becoming rare in today’s polarized world. From spirituality and politics to personal accountability and inner growth, the discussion invites listeners to question their assumptions and rediscover their humanity.
This conversation is about slowing down, listening deeply, and creating space for transformation. When we learn to step outside manufactured roles and reconnect with our deeper selves, we open the door to a more grounded and meaningful life.
