Life Next Level

What weird thing(s) do you do to make yourself feel better? Listen as I misunderstand Ethan and go in-depth about how we all buy with emotion, justify with logic, talk about cook sitting, discuss experiences, meditation, and the small things we do to feel better. 35-minute workouts keep me sane and why you don't need 90 minutes at the gym. We go a little in-depth about having great workouts in 20 minutes, High intensity interval training.

(sorry for the confusion part one of this was released a few weeks ago, but there's no connection other than similar topics) Ethan and I talk about growth zones living your perfect life, said principle. Living within our comfort zones, contentment, and why we have to get outside of it. There are always a million reasons not to do something. Moving to Thailand by myself and how hard it was, yet how it was one of the best things I ever did. We talk about looking back at your life from your deathbed, and how everyone has regrets - except a certain group of people, who realized how to live life without regrets. Public speaking and poetry reading for the first time. Why we fear public speaking and how it's never as bad as you think.

I go in-depth about my article '10 Ways to Live a Better Life by Living in the Moment'. If you want to read the article, the link is in the show notes. Give it a listen, I think you'll dig it.

Ethan joins me for another episode. We talk 'distraction action', lists lists everywhere, how to focus with the ever-present distractions every day (notifications on your phone, anyone?), and even more with everyone working from home. Why the answer is breaking up large items into smaller chunks, and some software that can help you. And a little of what we were up to during Easter weekend. Missing rainy days.

Brodie's in the house today! He gives an introduction, talks a little about the new addition to his family, why we've both escaped the Midwest (but he's back!). Why we always gravitate to the worst-case scenario in our heads, never give up who you are - your values and goals - for anyone, people doing things they love and bucking the trend, death and taxes, facing scary things and why not to run away. We also talk about relationships and friendships and how it can influence you. And honesty in your relationships.

What we're excited about, continuing education and why everyone should always keep learning. How to do something even when you don't know what you're doing. A little about getting the podcast launched. How much we want to help people and we hope this podcast does that. Traveling around in a travel trailer now that things are normalizing. Adapting and just doing. Getting good at travel, not having a home base, and some of the complications with it.

Brodie's in the house with me today! We just dive right into it in this episode. We talk about what advice we would give ourselves three years ago, and what we would tell ourselves three years from now. We talk about fear and self-doubt, why you should go after what you want unapologetically. Why you should listen to your gut more often and not listen to the worry as much - even if you don't know exactly what you're doing. And why sometimes bad days are okay.

Sometimes I have things to say, and just want to say them rather than write them. So this is just a shortie episode, and it's just me and a mic. I talk about why you shouldn't be ashamed of your struggles, what everyone else is hiding, and why to have empathy for the rude person you run into. Enjoy!

We talk a little about what we have going on that we're excited about. Why to not let inspiration fade, why it's so easy to give up and why not to, seize the opportunities in front of you, why to keep learning, why to keep going after your dreams, Why Ethan can't go to sleep without having his head shaved. How we keep going forward even when we're overwhelmed and want to quit. Why to continue learning, always. AI revolution, agricultural revolution, industrial revolution, and why they should teach us to constantly learn new skills.

Ethan joins again to discuss quotes that mean something to us. Getting out of your growth zone, why who you hang out with also dictates who you are, why you must reassess constantly. Why you should always do it scared. We discuss Jeff Bridges and The Dude - and Ethan's quote comes from Jeff himself. And Ethan associates with teaching his class and learning not to care what others think, to be yourself, and learn to be goofy and not care. Cinefile? Or "seen-a-file"? The debate that kicks off the episode.
