459. Double Shot: Setting Visions, Wearables & Getting Into Your Heart Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

In this Double Shot, I talk about how to set a new vision when you’re living your past one, trying to step into the moments in life that you want more of, my quest to find the perfect wearable—and what’s currently working for me, and how getting into your heart can help you change the patterns in your life that keep you feeling unhappy.

458. Fri-Date: Why We Work While Traveling Jul 29, 2022

While in the middle of our long traveling stint, someone reached out to Kim via DM and asked why we were okay working in the middle of our holiday. And look, it’s a good question!

457. Double Shot: Books, Finding Balance & Unfiltered Content Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

In this premiere episode of Double Shot, I take a walk and talk about taking extended vacations, finding balance (in planning vs spontaneity, fasting, and wine), experiments with Patreon and more unfiltered access to me, and getting into the vibe to write a book.

456. Fri-Date: How We Saved For Our Travel the Past Jul 22, 2022

Show notes

People love to look at us traveling one month out of the year and say “Well, that must be nice.” And you know what? It is nice, but it sure wasn’t easy. When something is a priority in your life—like travel is for us—you have to make sacrifices to make it happen. Years ago we were taking one week a year of vacation until we decided to push it to two, then three, then four—all while running a business. We share the steps we took to get there, the role mindset plays in getting what you want, and how you can start making your dreams a reality.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:20] Why “it must be nice” isn’t easy
[07:02] Letting bad things happen
[10:36] How big plans force you to do things differently
[19:44] Building your life around what’s important to you
[25:57] What a typical day of our vacation looks like

455. Fri-Date: STOP Living Life by Default and START Living by DESIGN Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

If you had the opportunity to do it all over again—to relive your life knowing what you know now—what would it look like? We gain a lot of clarity just moving through life, but the cruel irony of that is we don’t often get the time to make adjustments and live a full life with those lessons in mind. Or… maybe you can. It takes courage to look at your life, to realize you’re on the wrong track, and intentionally start over, even when it means taking a step back. So many of us are living our lives by default without taking the time to design the life we want to live. We’re going to share why you MUST shift gears the moment you know you’re on the wrong path, or risk living a life of regret.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:24] What you would do if you could reimagine your life
[04:22] Getting locked into your lifestyle even if it’s the wrong one
[12:17] Reverse-engineering your life by design
[15:46] Starting with what matters most
[19:14] Identifying your own path without shame
[24:43] Taking baby steps towards the life you want

454. Jasmine Star on Recognizing Possibilities and Making Them a Reality Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

Jasmine Star makes social media look easy. That is her job, after all. But the truth is, social media is work—for all of us. That doesn’t mean it has to be like pulling teeth. In this conversation, we tackle how Jasmine’s background set her on the path she’s on today, the things she’s learned along the way on her journey towards success, and why finding your joy usually means doing hard things you don’t want to do. She knows how to work hard, but she also knows how to enjoy life.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[03:05] How culture shapes our view of the world
[06:56] Recognizing the drive for more
[13:25] Putting happiness above success
[18:59] How our definition of happiness changes over time
[23:48] Hijacking your mindset toward growth
[31:11] Giving people what they want on social media
[38:44] Rapid-fire questions

453. Fri-Date: How We Are Rethinking Our Calendar, Setting Goals Outside of Our Experience & Changing Conversations with Friends Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

You know that we’ve been big proponents of finding fulfillment in all areas of your life, not only business. In a recent conversation with Chalene Johnson, we talked about a recent guest of hers, Richie Norton, who wrote “Anti-Time Management.” In it, he claims that when people look to manage their time, what often ends up happening is they fill their calendars with work—and they end up pushing out the rest of their life in the process. Kim and I discuss our thoughts on this and why we need to stop being addicted to being busy and fill our lives with the things that leave us feeling fulfilled.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:27] Why efficiency leads to an empty life
[10:00] Being addicted to busy
[12:06] Setting goals outside of your experience
[20:29] Creating a balanced life

452. Fridate: Our Rebrand into Live Life NOW! Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

We are always evolving, whether that’s in our lives or in our businesses. We started out creating videos as Jet Set Life, helping people get the most out of their traveling experiences—we wanted people to live a full life. We started podcasts, ebooks, and courses, and all of that set the foundation for what become Work Hard Play Hard, which was all about balancing the drive to work with the things you’re working for. But over the years, our philosophies have evolved, and we are pushing further away from the “work hard” aspect and focusing on one thing: Living your life now. And that’s what our new brand, Live Life NOW, is all about.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:28] The inspiration behind our rebrand
[04:51] The evolution of our business and life
[14:37] Being open to new directions

451. An Unorthodox Look at Mental Health with Ellen Vora Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Ellen Vora is an unconventional psychiatrist. She’s been fascinated by the vague and complicated inner workings of humanity, and she followed that passion with an M.D. from Columbia University. But when she got into the world of psychiatry she saw that the primary approach to mental health wasn’t working for most people, and it certainly didn’t resonate with her. She offers a different approach to mental health and anxiety—one that doesn’t rely on overmedication and myriad unwanted side effects. We talk about her boundary-pushing philosophies and what she believes is at the root of America’s mental health epidemic. It’s not what you think.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:12] How Ellen managed to graduate from one of the best schools in the world with an English degree while struggling with a reading disorder
[07:38] Exploring the complexities of being human
[11:05] Ellen’s surgery rotation story
[14:48] Why our medical system is set up to treat rather than prevent
[16:54] How we diagnose mental conditions
[22:05] How your neighborhood affects your health
[30:36] The importance of prioritizing “enough”
[35:07] The role of conventional medicine
[42:12] America’s mental health problem
[47:52] Hope for life after Big Pharma
[51:36] Thinking independently from your peers
[55:05] Rapid-fire questions
