March 13, 2020239: Fri-Date | How To Create Clarity On Your Ideas
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

Today’s Topic: Navigating challenges in your relationship

February 14, 2020231: Fri-Date | Surrender your goal and enjoy the journey
Today’s Topic: Enjoying the journey instead of stressing over your goals

There’s a paradox with highly successful people: The bigger the goal, the bigger their desire, the more stress, anxiety, and unhappiness they have. I’ve dealt with this myself. I have a lot on my plate, and it can be stressful. Kim has been reading these Gabby Bernstein books lately, and this led to me uncovering the challenges I have around goal-setting. And what Gabby introduced me to is the concept of surrender. We’re going to talk about how surrendering control of your goals can not only help you remain happier but maybe even accomplish your goals faster.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[04:53] Uncovering the challenges I had around goalsetting

[08:14] Trusting in a higher power knowing what’s good for you

[12:19] Not taking the path you set out on

[15:38] Balancing action towards a goal and surrendering control

[18:03] Following the guide

[21:13] Going back to love

Connect with us on Instagram: @kimmurgatroyd | @robmurgatroyd

Six or seven years ago, I was at the Delano hotel in Miami and I saw some guy telling stories in the pool. After a couple of cocktails, I was laughing my ass off. I don’t know who he is, he’s offensive, but I love him. The following year, I’m in Mykonos, and would you believe I hear the same voice again? A year later, I’m in the Crown Room at JFK, and I see them there again. So who was this guy?

His name is Wayne Diamond, known as “the Garmento.” In the 70’s and 80’s he dominated the women’s dresses and jumpsuit market, and made a fortune. As luck would have it, he ran into the Safdie Brothers, who created the new Adam Sandler movie Uncut Gems, and they fell in love with him. There was no controlling this interview, I just laughed and enjoyed the ride, and I’m sure you will too.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[8:48] What attracted Wayne to the garment business

[11:02] Where the name “Garmento” came from

[13:36] The secret to being married for 40 years

[15:44] What it was like to cash out and “retire”

[17:38] People who spend their whole lives killing themselves to make money

[22:26] How Wayne met the Safdie Brothers

[30:05] How he maintains his hair, tan, and teeth
