Someone steps on the scale and sees they’re 15 pounds heavier. Someone gets some blood work, and their blood sugar and cholesterol levels have risen. Or perhaps someone who has low energy and their everyday performance has dipped. The typical person would focus intently on these issues. But these are simply the symptom, not the cause. In this edition of Mental Model Monday, I’m sharing with you why treating the cause and not the symptom is the approach you must take and some questions to help adopt this mentality.

We have author and founder of The Worker Coach, Oliver Anwar stopping by for a fascinating discussion on how busy entrepreneurs, professionals, and executives can transform their bodies in only four hours per week. 60-hour workweeks, deadlines, emails that aren’t slowing down, and people clamoring for your attention are part of many high performers' lives.

Oliver has helped 100s of busy professionals seamlessly mesh fitness with their lifestyle and is here to discuss principles from his book: Busy Professionals Fitness Handbook.

Vision boards, gratitude journals, writing down your “why,” and a slew of other activities are frequently recommended in the self-improvement space. But what about when those activities aren’t enough? That’s when you need to channel aspects of your dark side—specifically your anti-vision. We often know we want to change and don’t like our situation, but we can’t create a clear picture of what we want. But in this same situation, we’re most likely able to rattle off everything we don’t want or don’t stand for. You can take advantage of this and leverage it.

In today's episode, you'll hear:

How long do you want to live? Not how long you think you’ll live, but what you want. The average will shrink and give an answer that they think sounds “reasonable.” The average person also thinks that an inevitable decline across the board is normal as they chronologically get older. But as a listener of this podcast, you know that we’re allergic to being average. In this edition of Mental Model Monday, I’m sharing the most important ingredient to living beyond 120.

In today's episode, you'll hear:
