Konrad Waliszewski is the creator of an app called TripScout, one of the best curated travel apps in the world. He made the decision one year to get on a plane during a Chicago blizzard and leave, work remotely, and find out if anyone would notice he was gone-- they didn’t. That led into a ton of new, interesting travels across the world. He’s also doing all of this travel with two children. This is for anyone who wants to learn how to use travel to expand your life instead of escape it.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [6:33] How growing up with parents as political refugees shaped Konrad
• [11:57] How being forced to travel frequently informed his app
• [16:25] The problems with traditional travel and review services
• [21:05] What’s different about TripScout
• [24:10] Becoming a digital nomad
• [28:13] Making frequent travel work with a wife and family

Three years ago Lindsey Mango quit her corporate job to go all-in on her life coaching business, a move that has absolutely paid off. But before that she had some lessons to learn. As she says, she tried to stay the victim and make excuses for why she couldn't do the stuff she wanted. Until one day when she looked in the mirror and was thought, this is on you. That come-to-Jesus moment led to her current reality - newly married, living in California, and having the life she always dreamt about. 

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [4:23] How it felt when Lindsey quit her corporate job
• [10:26] Realizing she was the reason she didn’t have the life she wanted

Today’s Topic: Our system for setting priorities

In episode 167 we talked about the bucket systems we use for our financial goals. Today we’re covering our bucket system that we use for all areas of life. I have four buckets - health, business, relationship and play. Kim’s added a fifth bucket - contribution - to her system. The idea is to do the best you can to work on each of these areas every day.

Also, a reminder - we’re holding a vision board contest for a free spot in our virtual mastermind. To enter:

• Create a vision board
• Share your board + the inspiration behind it on Instagram and tag @kimmurgatroyd and @robmurgatroyd

The competition closes at the end of the year. The winner will get a 90-day membership of our virtual membership which includes an ideation phone session with Kim and a three-pack set of The Push Journal.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [2:54] Why we use this system + where it came from

Today’s Topic: My Keto Experiment

Keto Guido’s transformation from a pudgy Italian to the guest host of the Chippendales got me pretty excited about keto. However I sort of overlooked that he eats mostly plants and a little bit of fat here and there. I went all in on the fat and didn't know what to eat so I ate nuts until my stomach sort of blew up and cheese until I started developing a puffy face and woke up with snot coming out of my nose because all the cheese created a lot of mucus. I felt incredibly full and satiated, but I was getting fat. In fact, I gained 15 pounds in a month. 

So here’s our wrap on what we learned and how I’m eating now.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [3:23] My tendency to jump on the high-fat bandwagon
• [4:07] The transformation of Keto Guido
• [5:18] What I overlooked about Keto Guido’s diet
• [6:18] Why “keto” didn’t really work for me
• [9:09] What I changed + the results
• [15:15] Why I’ve stopped fasting for now
• [16:20] What I’m eating throughout the day
• [18:44] After-dinner snacks + the Bedtime Belly Buster

My guest today is Brett Thomas. I wanted to have Brett on the show because he and I were walking parallel paths. We were both in the medical world in the south-east of America. And we wanted to move west for a better life of sunshine and beaches and no longer being tied to the constraints of working in the medical world. We really did it right around the same time. I was in Europe while he was moving. If you're in a place where you want to make a change of career or a change of physical location, I think this episode is going to be very useful.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [5:24] When + why Brett + his family decided to change their lives
• [10:25] The importance of personal development + what you miss in corporate
• [11:46] Downsizing + sunshine
• [17:36] Embracing the challenges associated with big changes
• [23:38] Moving kids across the country
• [27:26] Working with your spouse
• [36:24] Working a business driven by social media
• [38:11] How Brett tackles date night
