You’ve stumbled onto the podcast, Get Your FILL, Financial Independence, Long Life, where we look for ways to achieve those two goals. This week is in the sunrise series format. I hope you enjoyed the last episode where we interviewed Tyler Sheff, the CashFlow Guy.

Tyler is such a generous person. When I first met him, it was at Podfest, which is like a convention for people who want to do a podcast. And he knew, I told him, that I did not yet have a podcast. I said Look, this is just a goal. It is not a reality and I would really love to interview you even though I have nothing to offer. I can’t tell you. Oh, we have all these listeners whatever, nothing, and he said, “Sure I’ll do it.

I mean, who does that, right? He’s a busy guy, he’s got a lot going on. At the time, he was just getting ready to embark on his around-the-country motor-home journey and he just was so thoughtful and helpful and generous with his time. Give him a listen and hear what he has to say because he could change your life – just like that – in a half hour, just change your way of thinking about money.

This week, for Move-it Monday, let’s do this thing with our upper body, arms – it’s mostly arms, but it kind of incorporates your whole upper body. If you’re driving – when I’m driving is when I like to do this – I grab both sides of the steering wheel in a 3:00 and 9:00 position and grab the steering wheel and alternate between pulling it toward me and pushing it away from me and pulling it toward me and pushing it away from me, and tensing up, my whole arm, all the way up to my shoulder blade.

So, when I’m sitting there with my arms really tight, I’m kind of also pulling my shoulder blades, towards each other in the back. And then when you pull the steering wheel toward you, you’re sort of almost pulling your shoulders a little bit closer together in the front.

This is a way of just sort of tighten up your upper body and your arms and obviously you’re doing it when you’re not doing anything else that’s kind of my whole thing around these move-it Monday exercises, I mean anybody can get up in the morning and run or anybody can get up in the morning and go to the gym, but these are things you can do just in the course of your normal day, which is sort of my philosophy and I wanna just give this caveat, I’m not an exercise therapist, I’m not schooled in any sort of teaching any kind of exercise thing, I haven’t been to college to become a whatever, I don’t know jack about exercise. this is just stuff I do for myself and I look better than a lot of 55-year-olds. So take that as it is, but obviously don’t do anything that doesn’t feel good, don’t do anything unsafe, don’t so me, because I am telling you right out of the gate: I don’t know jack about exercise, this is just something I do in my day that seems to help me.

Alright, so that’s Move-it Monday: tighten up your arms, get some sort of resistance going and just use that upper body.

TAGR Tuesday: I’m not normally going to read to you from Think and Grow Rich. That is not my thing, but just to set us off on the right path where we’re just getting into the book, Think and Grow Rich. If you’re not 100% convinced that you want to have anything to do with the book, I just want to read a little bit of the preface. And again, this ties into the book and the movie, called The Secret and the secret is what Napoleon Hill is revealing in Think and Grow Rich. It’s sort of the core messa
