340. Attorney Michele Capecchi on How to Move to Italy Legally and Live La Dolce Vita Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Before spending four months in Europe, we happened to catch a television show about people with an Italian heritage who have decided to move back to Italy. Later, at one of my mastermind events in Florence, I ran into someone who connected me to his attorney — the exact attorney who helped people move to Italy in that TV special. That attorney is Michele Capecchi, and he is now my attorney and is helping us move to Italy. In this interview, Michele walks us through how you can make the move yourself. Whether you decide to move to Italy or not, you’re going to find value in this conversation as we dive into why people make this decision.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[05:54] Why people are rethinking their life circumstances
[12:02] Who it is that wants to move to Italy
[16:51] How to get a work visa and work remotely in Italy
[34:51] The law of sanguine: How to get Italian citizenship
[43:30] The culture shock Americans face in Italy

339. Fri-Date: Bridging the Gap between the Life You Have & What You Truly Desire Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

Let’s talk about manifestation again because so many people are getting it wrong. It takes so much more than knowing what you want and chanting it to yourself in the mirror: to manifest your dream life you have to start living in the feeling of that life, and that will give you the drive you need to take action towards living it.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:33] Having the mindset of “Everything is working out for me”
[05:44] Making the decision you want clearer
[10:20] Focusing on the why instead of the how
[13:22] What most people get wrong about manifestation

338: Katie Quinn | An Expat Author Living in Italy on How Following Your Heart Will Ignite Your Soul Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

What do Italy, cheese, and YouTube have in common? They’re all a part of the dream life that Katie Quinn built for herself. Starting as an escort on Saturday Night Live — and no, not that kind of escort — Katie wound up in the green room of The Today Show, writing several books, and hosting a podcast and YouTube channel. Katie is truly living her dream life.

But how did she get here? When Katie realized she wasn’t excited by the so-called glamorous life of living in New York, she took a leap of faith. She followed her passions, which led her to Paris, England, Italy, and eventually Le Cordon Bleu — where she decided that you don’t have to be a trained chef to be passionate about making and eating mind-blowing food. Now she’s sharing that passion with the world, letting her quirky self shine and light up every space she steps into.

In This Conversation, We Cover:

[04:59] What it was like working on SNL
[08:34] Becoming a food blogger, moving to Paris and England, and breaking out of your comfort zone
[18:47] Getting dual citizenship in Italy
[27:07] Learning a new language
[39:02] Talking about cheese, wine, and bread

We talk about the thought process behind the move, why we don’t regret living in California, and how we’re laying the groundwork for our future.

[04:08] How we are different people in different places

333: Chip Conley | On Workaholism, Midlife, & How To Find Your Calling Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

Chip Conley was one of the original pioneers of the boutique hotel revolution. He created and sold the hotel chain Joie de Vivre — which started with the purchase of one run-down hotel and grew to 52 boutique hotels under him as CEO — and was so successful that he went on to advise Airbnb on how to do hospitality right, and he’s credited with being largely responsible for the huge growth Airbnb has seen over the past several years. He’s now running a company called the Modern Elder Academy where he runs sabbatical sessions around soul, community, and location. We talk about workaholism, disrupting the hospitality industry, and how it really feels to sell your business.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:53] When Chip made the decision to buy a run-down hotel
[12:02] How to know when you have a calling
[17:22] What it’s actually like selling a business

The problem is that what you want to do with your life is rarely something that people are going to be willing to pay you for.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:28] Why you don’t have to merge your business with your purpose
[09:45] Separating income generation from passion
