Greatest Hits: Litt Thompson on Creating Space to Think About What Matters Most

Tommy Thompson brings back one of the earliest and most beloved episodes from Space for Life, a conversation with his brother and 40-year business partner, Litt Thompson. After a business crisis in the early 1990s pushed Litt to his breaking point, one desperate morning spent alone in a university library set him on a path he has been following for over 25 years. In this episode, Litt shares his five-part formula for carving out intentional time to think deeply about your life, and why he believes it is the second greatest secret to life next to knowing Christ. **What You'll Hear in This Episode:** - The early 1990s savings and loan crisis that pushed Litt and Tommy to the edge of burnout, invisibly and simultaneously. - The morning Litt spent alone in a university library with nothing but a legal pad and a pen, and why it became the most productive day of his career. - How writing one focused question at the top of a page and going deep unlocks a level of creativity you cannot access in the middle of your normal day. - Why so many of our stressors are fears in disguise, and how creating space helps you tell the difference. - Litt's five-part formula for intentional solitude, including why place, time, and removing distractions all work together. - Why this practice applies to everyone in every stage of life, not just entrepreneurs and leaders. **Timestamps:** (0:00) Intro (1:25) Tommy introduces Litt Thompson (3:20) The 1989 business storm (5:20) Litt's first day off the freeway (9:37) Legal pad and the blank slate (15:33) From crisis tool to life practice (21:15) Litt's five-part formula (29:18) This applies to everyone Love the show?
