Episode 19 – When pursuing your passion is right for you – Jimmy Moore.
Episode 19 of Life in Focus could have been intimidating. After all, I was interviewing Jimmy Moore of Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb, someone who has over 1,000 podcasts to his name!!! With a thriving podcast and business Jimmy is a force to contend with in the health and nutrition world. Luckily for me, Jimmy is both down to earth, an approachable, regular guy, and,once you get to meet him, a bit of a goofball (super endearing). His story is well known in the Paleo – Keto – Low-Carb world, his weight-loss story at least. I wanted to hear about what came before all this.
Together Jimmy and I we talked about how he found and pursued this passion, which roadblocks and diversions he faced, and what advice he has for those of us who also want to turn a passion into a profession.
*A few blunders– When I was recording this episode I preemptively announced that it would be #18, I was wrong. Also at some point I make the inexcusable mistake of saying “pursuing what’s right instead of what’s right for you” referring to right as what we want (oops, sigh and gasp!); blame it on early interview jitters.

* Jimmy’s story starts off as one about food and how it can rule your life for worse, then eventually better; which is how you go from drinking 16 cans of soda a day to becoming an internatiinal speaker on weightloss and health.
* Like with most things – food, happiness, life – your frame of reference dictates your reality; broaden it and gain perspective, stick with only what you know and potentially live in a reality that is not objective.
* How do you deal with the haters, the trolls and the social media bullies? Get Jimmy’s advice about minute 30 or so in the podcast.
* If you really want something make it work, figure out what it takes, and move along with it, regardless of what comes in your way.
* Sometimes you can stumble onto what’s right for you. If you can recognize and run with it great things can happen, like living a life in focus. Don’t believe me? That’s how Livin’ La Via Low-Carb started.
* On why he decided to move forward and follow his passion full time: “I felt like I had so much to offer [and the people I was working for didn’t recognize that value].”
* “If you aren’t making mistakes, you’re not doing it right.”
