Today we’re talking to Perez Hilton. Yes, that Perez Hilton. We cover a lot in this episode, including what it felt like being on Ellen’s show and being grilled, his fears and anxieties around having children, and how his life would be so different if he didn’t feel like he had to work around the clock to pay for his expenses. This is a refreshingly real conversation about how to navigate challenges in real life, and he is not at all the person you think he is.

[05:40] What growing up in the 80’s was like for Perez
[10:24] Have a lower-class immigrant work ethic

249: Fri-Date | Level Up Your Schedule With These 3 Questions Apr 17, 2020

Show notes

Today’s Topic: The Evolution of Our Schedule

A few weeks ago, Kimberly and I hashed out our schedule in public on the show. Our schedule ended up being much more level and fair, but now it’s time to take it to the next level. We don’t have the time we need to complete everything that’s on our plate, but we’re also being incredibly inefficient with the time we do have. Here’s how we shifted our schedule and readjusted our lives to work within the confines of this COVID-19 world and some tips and tools you can use to fine-tune your own schedules and routines.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:28] The shortcomings of our schedule
[08:04] Tips for strategizing our days
[12:18] Scheduling in some couple nights
[17:48] Find out what your children want in your schedule

Show notes

Many of you have some dream outside your 9 to 5 that you would love to be working on, whether it’s a business or a book or something else. We can sit through this time and come out the other side of it depressed and feeling behind, or we can come out of it with momentum into our dream. Most people would want the latter.

08: DailyDate 4-8-2020 | You Need to Stop the Comparisons & Have Some Compassion Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

We’re going to talk about comparison. Everyone in this situation is trying to compare themselves to each other: “You only have one kid, try having three.” “You already worked from home, of course it’s easy for you.” Everybody is going through difficulty and changes during this time, and it isn’t doing you any good to make these comparisons. What we really need is compassion.

But if you could change one thing about “normal,” what would it be?
