In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Aleks Kryloff, founder of Stern, to talk about what “balance” really looks like when you are building a company from scratch. Aleks shares how a frustrating home-services experience pushed him to build a business around trust, communication, and modern systems.

This conversation is for founders, operators, and high-achievers who feel stuck in survival mode. You will hear practical ways to prioritize, protect family time, and reduce bottlenecks without losing standards, even when balance still feels far off.

Aleks Kryloff is the founder of Stern, a New Jersey based home-services company focused on gutters and exterior services. He built Stern around clear communication, reliability, and a values-led team culture.

• Treat balance as a direction, not a daily scoreboard

• Use strict prioritization: pick the few things that matter most today

• Create protected deep-work time (Aleks uses 4:30 AM for 2 to 2.5 hours)

• Delegate based on shared values first, skills second

• Build a team that can carry responsibility, not just tasks

• Ask yourself what you are choosing to prioritize and what you are ignoring
