My guests today are **Bridget Hilton** and **Joe Huff** who are co-authors of the best selling book, *Experiential Billionaire: Build a Life Rich in Experiences and Die With No Regrets*. Before you dismiss this episode thinking you're too busy making a living and you don't have the resources to do the things you want to do, my conversation with Bridget and Joe delved into exactly that fear:
"People get scared because it's easier to wrap their heads around what they have to lose than what they have to gain." - Bridget Hilton
Bridget and Joe surveyed over 20,000 people from all walks of life and the result is eye opening. People's regrets are very similar no matter their age and income status and in our conversation, we talk about why people often put things that matter in the fictional world of 'someday.' But more importantly, we talk about the exercises described in their book that can help you have that sense of urgency to start doing the things you love.
If you have a bucket list that you've stowed away in that fictional world of 'someday' because you think you don't have the time or resources to do them or they're simply too big to make them happen, this episode is for you. Our conversation will walk you through the actions you can take to start building a life rich in experiences with no regrets.

**Guest Bio:**
Joe Huff & Bridget Hilton

**Bridget Hilton** and **Joe Huff** are obsessed with experiences. Determined to unlock the secrets of their power to transform lives, they have spent years interviewing social science experts, conducting the largest study on life experiences ever done, and turning themselves into experiential guinea pigs. Together they have trained to be samurai, danced with the northern lights, tracked silverback gorillas in a hailstorm, stood face to face with hungry lions on safari, absorbed life lessons from Maasai Mara tribesmen, sped across glaciers on dogsleds, built schools for kids in need, studied with monks, helped give 50,000 people hearing, swum with sharks, and explored the experiential riches life has to offer.
Together they have been interviewed on the Today Show, Good Morning America, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, The Verge, Buzzfeed, Entrepreneur, Monocle, Inc., Fast Company, and The Los Angeles Metropolitan Local News.
**Show Credits:**
This episode was edited by **Curtis Fritsch**, and the show notes were prepared by **Debby Germino** and published by **Glen McNiel**.
The original music in the opening and closing of the show is courtesy of **Joe Trapanese** (who is quite possibly one of the most talented composers on the face of the planet).

TOP 5: Optimizing Sleep, Productivity, & Creativity Using Ultradian Rhythms and Self-Tracking | with Dr. Azure Grant Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

Given the holiday season is ironically when happiness and well-being are often at their lowest and anxiety at its highest, I thought it might be helpful to share with you five of my favorite podcast episodes with some of the world’s foremost experts who can help you stay healthy, happy, and sane through this holiday season.

During the next 5 weeks, you will learn about the importance of movement, how it affects your creativity (and how to sneak it into your crazy day with minimal time), the practice of intuitive eating so you can still enjoy all the holiday food (but without the guilt), how to use mindfulness to keep calm amidst the holiday chaos, and finally how to maintain your sanity by improving the quality of your sleep.

Without further adieu, here is the final part of this five-interview series with Dr. Azure Grant, a sleep & hormone researcher who loves to geek out on sleep & energy biohacks. If you’re looking to better understand your energy rhythms throughout the day and how they affect your creativity, the quality of your sleep, and your well-being, I have no doubt you’ll be just as fascinated by this conversation as I was.
