349. Fri-Date: How Uncertainty Assaults Our Senses & Forces Us to be Present Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

I am a man that thrives on consistency. Kim, on the other hand, loves variety and spontaneity. The truth is, you need both to live life to the fullest. Change without consistency leads to insecurity. Consistency without diversity invites you to forget what you are living for. You need to inject some level of conscious joy and passion into your life, letting variety assault your senses and wake you up to the present moment. Then, you can focus on what truly matters in life and build the routine that works for you.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[04:19] How our basic needs can conflict in relationships
[09:21] How uncertainty wakes you up
[11:48] Balancing out your partner
[14:34] Will living in Italy remove your entrepreneurial drive?
[18:30] Living each day like it’s your last

347. Fri-Date: How We Bend Time To Get Twice As Much Done Apr 23, 2021

Show notes

What do you want? It’s not as easy as you’d think to answer the question. I talk a lot about the importance of clarity. I hit that point even harder, here. I used to feel guilty for wanting to move to Italy when I spent so long dreaming of and working hard to move to California. The truth is, I was always just getting clearer and clearer on what my vision actually was. Once you find that vision, not of a vacation or a one-off event, but of what your life looks like on, say, a future random Tuesday — you’re able to picture it clearly and you’ll be amazed at how fast things start coming together.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[03:24] Why my podcast with Tiffany Carter is blowing up
[12:14] My vision of living in Italy
[16:21] How clarity of your vision accelerates action
[20:53] Creating a vision for your life based on the why
[25:25] Why it’s okay to change your mind
[31:19] Finding the thing you’ve always been drawn to

Show notes

Making your dream move isn’t always dreaming. I’m a man of habit, and when you’re talking about a big move there’s inevitably going to be a lot of change. That change is ultimately good, but in the moment it can be a struggle to work through. We talk through the mindset of moving to a different country, the anxiety that it brings, and how we are balancing each other out in order to make the move as successful as possible.
