Rob kicks things off with a thought-provoking idea: Are we too focused on long-term goals at the expense of short-term happiness? Money often drives our decisions but it’s so important to live intentionally, especially as we get older and need to bridge those gaps between our careers and personal lives. Ever feel like you’re trying to have it all but getting nowhere fast? While we often try to have it all, we can’t. However, we can have those things that are most important to us, if we prioritize. Our goals can shift, but delaying happiness shouldn’t be the norm. Rob also reflects on his retirement goal: automating income to free up time for enjoyable pursuits. We’ll discuss various methods, including investments, that can lead to financial freedom and a happier life. Together, we explore the importance of designing a life that aligns with your values and vision. Join us as we unpack these life lessons with a dash of humor and a whole lot of heart.

515: Blue Zone Secrets: Your Roadmap to Lifelong Health https://fridate.blog/2023/09/15/515-blue-zone-secrets-your-roadmap-to-lifelong-health/ Fri, 15 Sep 2023 05:00:00 +0000 https://fridate.blog/?p=820 Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of blue zones, sharing our recent experiences, and what we’ve learned along the way! Because of the differences we’ve noticed in food quality from the US to Europe and a recent realization about Rob’s cholesterol, we’ve been thinking about the importance of being intentional about how we live. We tend to take inspiration from the blue zones of the world, and today we’re going to share how! Both Greece and Italy boast their own blue zones with life expectancies way higher than in the United States. We’ll explore what makes these regions so special and how we can apply their secrets to our own lives, wherever we are. For those looking to extend their years and improve their quality of life, we highly recommend focusing on longevity. You can even ponder what the centenarian Olympics would look like to help prepare your body for aging. We’ve got some insights on that too, as we discuss the perspective of these remarkable individuals and what it can teach us about our own health and wellness journey. Your fitness levels change as you age, especially after hitting that milestone of 70 years old. Hint: It’s not great news, but there’s hope! It’s all about the care you put in now. We’re sharing how to take advantage of cardiovascular training zones and the “power of nine.” We’ll also explore the difference between symptom control and living for longevity. It’s all about finding the root cause of health issues rather than just slapping on a band-aid. If you’re ready to unlock the secrets of the blue zones, extend your life expectancy, and embrace a healthier, happier you, tune in! What you’ll hear in this episode: [4:00] Being intentional about “blue-zoning” yourself. [7:40] How do you measure cardiovascular fitness? [15:00] The power of nine. [18:55] How to prepare for longevity.

513: Focusing Your Vision as an Entrepreneur https://fridate.blog/2023/09/01/513-focusing-your-vision-as-an-entrepreneur/ Fri, 01 Sep 2023 12:00:00 +0000 https://fridate.blog/?p=804 Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that hits close to home for many entrepreneurs – it’s all about entrepreneurial ADD, also known as the infamous shiny object syndrome. If you’ve ever found yourself brimming with ideas but struggling to stay on track, you are not alone! We’ve been there and we have the tools to help you get on track and stay there. We’ll dish out some honest insights about how our love for brainstorming new ideas has sometimes led us down rabbit holes, and how we’ve learned to channel that energy more effectively. Now, let’s talk about getting laser-focused on your vision. It’s easier said than done, right? We’ve been through those moments where we had to decide which idea to run with – and let’s be real, it’s a tough call. But we’re going to chat about why honing in on that one idea can be a game-changer. Plus, we’ll explore the delicate dance between aiming for success and acknowledging that failure is part of the journey. Growth and progress sometimes take time, but we believe the best is yet to come. We’re also dishing out some insider tips about knowing when it’s time to pivot or pull the plug. We’ve been in situations where we had to set deadlines and experiment with new approaches, and we’re excited to share our strategies with you. What you’ll hear in this episode: [01:10] Entrepreneurs struggle with shiny object syndrome. [03:55] Ideation as a strength and stupid idea time. [05:30] Transition to getting clear on your vision. [05:40] Importance of focusing on one idea. [06:55] Balancing success and potential failure. [07:35] Challenges in deciding which ideas to pursue. [08:25] Complex nature of entrepreneurship.
