#140: How to Redesign Your Life with Chris "The Kiwi" Ashenden


Listen Later

Chris "The Kiwi" Ashenden is the creator of Athletic Greens, the worlds most complete whole food supplement.

Chris is all about happiness, personal growth, living outside the box, and enjoying a spectacular life.

He had been to 43 countries before his 13th birthday, and decided to retire in 2005 to spend 4 years traveling the planet full time.

Now very much un-retired, with a ton of friends in crazy places, 60 plus countries under the belt, and some amazing memories, he is focused on using what he can remember from his studies for a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and his cumulative years as a nutritionist and strength coach to help other people enjoy amazing levels of health and energy.

Chris and I had a great discussion on topics including:

  • Ways to push yourself out of your comfort zone [3:12].
  • Having no regrets and taking on new adventures [9:22].
