Fri-Date

If we want, we can make this situation out to be the end of the world. Or, we can look at our situation and think about what we can do to make things better.

We’re going to talk about the topic of polyamory. There are so many people talking about it, you see it on TV, but how many of us actually know what it is? I went to the man who’s willing to be public about it and get some answers. But John Romaniello is also a lot more than that — he’s a fitness legend, a business coach, and an excellent storyteller. We take a deep dive into a lot of different areas, and I know there’s so much you are going to get from this conversation.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [09:45] When John Romaniello started diving into fitness and when he decided that world wasn’t for him

• [42:59] The art of fulfillment
• [46:00] The hero’s journey & the things you think you want but don’t need

Today’s Topic: Gaining clarity

We’re talking about creating clarity on whatever you are working toward. People always believe they have these amazing ideas and they’re going to put them into action immediately, but that’s unfortunately not how it plays it. You get passionate and excited about your ideas, but you don’t realize all the details of what needs to be done to execute on that idea. Our ideas get ahead of the actual business model. Before you dive head-first into your vision, it’s time to nail down the details and think through the specifics.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [03:55] Dialing in on your ideas
• [06:02] Not realizing everything that goes into your idea
• [08:51] Getting into the minutia
• [09:57] Reverse-engineering the process of building a business idea
• [11:49] What you want to have/be/do
• [15:03] Putting your dream life into context
• [20:01] Moving towards your five-year goal
• [22:05] The formula that works for Rob
• [27:13] The five lunch pitch
• [29:02] Praise vs feedback
