In this episode of Texas Land Guys, hosts Tim and Tom Dosch are joined by their partner David Marshall for an honest and practical conversation about one of the hardest things to get right: finding balance between work, family, and personal life. They open up about how easy it is for driven professionals to let work take over, especially in the land brokerage business, where effort directly impacts success. That constant push, they admit, can quickly become all-consuming if not managed intentionally.

The discussion centers on redefining work-life balance as a purposeful investment rather than an equal division of time. David shares how he committed early on to be present for his kids’ games and family moments, while Tim and Tom reflect on how DMRE’s team culture encourages flexibility and mutual support through different seasons of life.

They also touch on deeper themes such as how men often find more confidence at work than at home, and the importance of faith, community, and self-care in maintaining perspective. The takeaway is clear: success is not measured by hours worked or deals closed, but by how well you invest in the relationships and priorities that truly matter.
