Ep. 20 What’s Fun Got to Do with It? with Thomas Edwards Jr.
What if fun could transform your life? Thomas Edwards Jr. had made it to the top of the world. He was The wingman, helping people from all over the world create romantic relationships. Before he knew it, success was at his doorstep. When his mother showed him the article about him in the Wall Street Journal that was proof.
The peak was his interview on the Steve Harvey Show. And his fall was at the after party. He realized he was filled with an inexplicable emptiness. It terrified him. It didn't go away the next day, or the next, or the next. And he didn’t know what to do about it so he tried to drink it away. Things went from bad to worse until he rediscovered what was missing — play. Pure, unadulterated fun and joy. After doing all the “right things” to recover, reconnecting with fun was Thomas Edwards Jr.’s winning strategy to save himself.
Talking Points:
The four treasures under the umbrella of fun.
What happens when you make life about having fun and winning is the byproduct.
How to become unrecognizable, in a good way, even to your wife.
The danger of living someone else’s dream.
What types of boundaries can keep a troubled marriage together?
What to expect when your life isn’t what it appears to be.
The internal attitude you need to win the game of life.
The importance of having someone to talk with about your feelings.
The indignity of living a life as someone you’re not.
The magic of reconnecting with purpose.
The benefits of not living on autopilot.
Bio
