231: Fri-Date | Surrender your goal and enjoy the journey Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

Today’s Topic: Enjoying the journey instead of stressing over your goals

There’s a paradox with highly successful people: The bigger the goal, the bigger their desire, the more stress, anxiety, and unhappiness they have. I’ve dealt with this myself. I have a lot on my plate, and it can be stressful. Kim has been reading these Gabby Bernstein books lately, and this led to me uncovering the challenges I have around goal-setting. And what Gabby introduced me to is the concept of surrender. We’re going to talk about how surrendering control of your goals can not only help you remain happier but maybe even accomplish your goals faster.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[04:53] Uncovering the challenges I had around goalsetting
[08:14] Trusting in a higher power knowing what’s good for you
[12:19] Not taking the path you set out on
[15:38] Balancing action towards a goal and surrendering control
[18:03] Following the guide
[21:13] Going back to love

Six or seven years ago, I was at the Delano hotel in Miami and I saw some guy telling stories in the pool. After a couple of cocktails, I was laughing my ass off. I don’t know who he is, he’s offensive, but I love him. The following year, I’m in Mykonos, and would you believe I hear the same voice again? A year later, I’m in the Crown Room at JFK, and I see them there again. So who was this guy?

His name is Wayne Diamond, known as “the Garmento.” In the 70’s and 80’s he dominated the women’s dresses and jumpsuit market, and made a fortune. As luck would have it, he ran into the Safdie Brothers, who created the new Adam Sandler movie Uncut Gems, and they fell in love with him. There was no controlling this interview, I just laughed and enjoyed the ride, and I’m sure you will too.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[8:48] What attracted Wayne to the garment business
[11:02] Where the name “Garmento” came from
[13:36] The secret to being married for 40 years
[15:44] What it was like to cash out and “retire”
[17:38] People who spend their whole lives killing themselves to make money
[22:26] How Wayne met the Safdie Brothers
[30:05] How he maintains his hair, tan, and teeth
