476. Ditch the Stressed American Entrepreneur Mindset for a Happier Life
December 16, 2022 10:00 - 32 minutes - 31.4 MBBeing an entrepreneur doesn't necessarily mean constantly hustling and stressing.

October 07, 2022 10:00 - 41 minutes - 47.8 MBWhenever someone uses the phrase “playing bigger,” they’re probably referring to wealth or accumulation. Want the nicer car? Gotta play bigger.

When we’re talking about what areas of their life they want to improve they are grasping to come up with something. They’re living life at 72 degrees—too comfortable to turn on the AC or put on a jacket. It’s good to be grateful for what you have and recognize what you’ve achieved, but humans always want to be growing. Sometimes we’re just not paying attention to the cues in life that we want something more. We’re goin...

August 15, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBWhether you’re looking to work as hard as you can or just trying to make the most of the time you have, many of us fall into the trap of time management.

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.
