April 17, 2022 If You Build It, They Will Come
Myles Wakeham refers to himself as a contrarian. He's never followed the social mantra of college, work & retirement. He's lived all over the world and at the young age of 57, he and his wife are embarking on a new chapter in yet another country, retracing Myles' past and paying homage to the past world of music, to breathe new life into an age-old craft.
Myles has some key takeaways in his talk... you can find them at the following timestamps:
30:16 - What does the Average Joe, who isn't independently wealthy and doesn't have a passive income source, do when he reaches "retirement time"?
There's no going back in time: if you didn't start saving/investing in your 30s and just enjoyed life and floated along, there's no golden ticket for you.
31:08 – Sometimes in life you have to make the most out of what you've got.
33:00 – You should have thought about your life as a marathon and not a sprint. There's a perpetual nature that we have to live until the moment that our body gives out.
32:26 – He speaks of breaking life up into 4 quarters:
1. 1-20 yrs – Learning - to walk, talk, communicate, socialize & start getting an idea of who you are & what you're about.
2. 20-40 yrs – Building – build a career, family, home, life,
3. 40-60 yrs – Optimization – take the skills and knowledge that you've acquired and use it to maximize the wealth that you have
4. 60-80 yrs – Waning – you just hope that you've done enough through your life to sustain you through the years when things start to deteriorate
Life is valuable – you have to take everything you can from every single moment, because you'll never get that moment back again.
38:14 – there are things that come in sets – a universal concept of balance: Up & down, yin and yang, sunrise & sunset, waves go up and down in surfing
You can't beat nature – learn to be synergistic – if you're ahead of the wave and start paddling, it will pick you up and carry you.
Never buy something when it's already upon you, never buy something that's past you, look on the horizon for the next one, and engage well before it comes to you.
Practice the skill and you'll do fine in any situation.
41:09 – The rich don't have jobs.

April 03, 2022Is Your Autobiography Worth Reading?
Sam Thiara believes there are 5 guiding principles in his life and every action he takes has to hit all 5 principles or it's not something he does:
Servant Leadership
Story Sharing
Activator/Igniter
Champion Enabler
Community Do-Gooder

These 5 principles have helped him become a speaker, a mentor, a writer, a problem-solver...and have enabled him to help people be their best selves and it is through generosity that the greatest impact is made. The impact comes in a ripple effect by showing others how to also be generous.
Sam says that the key to generosity lies in taking inventory of who you are (not what you do) and in remembering that the more you give, the more you get back. It's important to do things for others, but also to let others do things for you sometimes. He quotes Sir Isaac Newton in saying "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
Especially as we find ourselves with more time on our hands, it's important to remember what you can share with others - perhaps it seems small to you, but it could have a profound effect down the road. He uses his own autobiographical journey to show how far-reaching our effects can be.
Timestamps:
20:25 - How to find the Extraordinary in the Ordinary - Storytelling requires CARPE - Curiosity, Appreciation, Reflection, Perspectives, Experience - the important thing is to go through life with your eyes open and your radar on, stopping to examine anything that seems even the list bit interesting or intriguing.
22:00 - We're all pieces of the puzzle of life
26:45 - How to decide what's going to be extraordinary in your day

March 20, 2022 Is There A Book In You?
Jill Phillips grew up in the early 1960’s in a London that no longer exists. She started life in Lamlash Street, went to school, grew up and, after a few years of working in a solicitor’s office in London, decided to emigrate to Canada. She spent 30 years working here as an Occupational Therapist and hospital manager.
Towards the end of her career, when other people generally start slowing down their lives, she sped everything up. Her own battle against an insecure mindset and self-sabotage became a pathway to new confidence in her 60’s. She divorced, moved, and finished writing her Masters of Occupational Therapy thesis.
Now a published author and speaker, Jill has been checking items off her bucket list (like running a 5k!) and she’s helping others do the same. Her book, Lamlash Street: A Portrait of 1960's Post-War London Through One Family's Story, tells the story of the strength and resilience that we all have, but don't realize till later.
Watching her mother go against the popular trends led Jill to do the same thing, questioning the "norm" and showing other women - all people, really - that we can do whatever we set our minds to, at any point in our life.
Please grab a copy of Jill's book, wherever you purchase your reading materials - it's worth the read!

March 13, 2022 The Eating Yo-Yo ... Can You Tame It?
Renee Jones stepped off the 40-year hamster wheel of yo-yo dieting, reached her goal weight and has maintained it since 2012. She has a Masters’ degree in counseling, a clinical residency, and training in both traditional and contemporary models of care. This education - and her own experiences - led her to the realization that emotional eating is the basis of so many people's weight problems. Learning about and teaching how to overcome this sometimes deadly but completely preventable spiral has become her mission and she has helped numerous women from all walks of life change their habits so they can lead healthier, happier lives.
Adding retirement to the mix of stresses in one's life can certainly cause overeating and weight gain.
Learning how to avoid this trap will help improve your life.
