        • The 6 F's - HIA Framework Part 3

          This is part 3 in my series where I'm breaking down the meaning of A.L.L. - Abundant Loving Life, and where I'm sharing my framework for having it all. In the A.L.L. framework, I've chosen to focus on what I think are 6 key areas of life: Faith, Family, Friends, Fitness, Finance, and Fun. Faith: belief in something bigger than you; believing in something you don't understand. 

          • Not talking about religion specifically. You can have FAITH and not consider yourself religious. That's how I feel about myself. 

          Family: the people in your innermost circle. 

          • Think of the symbol for Target (dot, circle, circle). The dot is family. Circle 1 is inner friends. Circle 2 is outer friends/acquaintances.
          • Not always blood. 
          • Listen to my convo with Robert Monroe, and he'll shift how you think about family (Robert was orphaned at age 12, but knows he has a large, loving family, including multiple mothers and fathers)
          • Includes romantic partners as well (spouse, significant other)

          • Friends: the people who are in your inner circle. Your personal tribe.

            • There to support you; see the greatness in you.
            • Tell it like it is; tell the uncomfortable truth.
            • Have your back; will defend and stand up for you.
            • However else you define friends.

            • Fitness: your health.

              • Is your body in a state of DETOX or INTOX?
              • Are you treating your body with kindness?
              • Being mindful of what you put in your body: food, drink, information, environments, people/conversations
              • Your ability to heal (HEAL is the root of HEALTH)
              • LIFEstyle versus DIEt

              • Finance: your ability to generate what you need to live the life you want

                • Not talking about being wealthy, although that is the goal of many
                • Are you living within your means?
                • What is your relationship like to your finances?
                • For many years, and still to this day, my relationship to my personal finances has been up and down. At times I feel great about my finances, confident, in control, knowledgable, following a plan -- abundant. Other times I feel lost, without a plan, lacking knowledge -- scarce. 
                • Your quality of life improves as your finances improve, to a point. At around $75,000 per year it rounds off, and then more money doesn't mean more peace, happiness or emotional health. It can actually go down. 
                • It's not about how much you make or spend, it's about your relationship to it all.

                • Fun: your ability to let your inner kid out, laugh, let go, and enjoy life.

                  • This is where I personally thrive!
                  • Fun means different things to different people. YOU define what fun is for you.
                  • Many of us are not regularly making time for fun. It happens only on the weekends, or maybe even only on vacations. Otherwise we're hustling and working and just surviving.
                  • Plenty of studies out there to support the importance of FUN, so I won't get into that. 
                  • You can survive without fun, but I argue that you cannot THRIVE without it!

                  • Measurements (Accountability) on the 6 F's Faith - 10 couple meditations/prayers Family - 15-20 family dinners, 10 family playtimes Friends - 4 couple outings Fitness - Regular weekly exercise, join a running group or fitness class. commit to doing a few small fitness things each day. Finance - Enrolilng in Financial Peace and going through the 7 Baby Steps Fun - 1 vacation out of country, 1 vacation in states

                    Today’s guest is a father to three daughters, a husband to a beautiful wife, friend to myself and so many others, and an economist by profession.

                    His name is Robert Monroe, and if you met him in person, the first thing you’d probably notice is his smile.

                    He’s got one of those ear to ear smiles that tends to come with a hearty laugh and come from a place of joy.

                    But behind the smile is a man who has been some incredibly trying times in his life. At a young age Robert was orphaned and learned some brutal lessons about life. But his smile never faded.

                    I’m incredibly honored to bring you this conversation with Robert, where we talk about life, family, parenthood, and much more.

                    What you’ll learn in this episode:

                    • A powerful metaphor for viewing your life as a masterpiece
                    • How to create momentum and velocity in your life
                    • An inspiring definition of "family"

                      This episode will get you thinking.

                      • Learning to Love Yourself and Have It All Without Sacrificing a Thing - Ruby Fremon

                        There is a theme on this show that comes up in a number of episodes: Breakdowns lead to Breakthroughs.

                        My guest on today’s podcast knows all about this.

                        Ruby Fremon has had her breakdowns in life. She knows what it feels like to hit the proverbial rock bottom.

                        Her story has many familiar elements: destructive relationship, substance abuse, self hate.

                        But what makes Ruby unique is in her response to these life circumstances.

                        Now, after years of learning what “self love” means, Ruby can say with a smile that she is absolutely love life, and has made it her mission to help others do the same.

                        Ruby is a coach, catalyst and ignitor, helping people bust down their limiting beliefs, conquer their biggest fears, and get unstuck. She is a firm believer that you can have it all in life without sacrificing a thing (so you can see why we get along so well!)

                        What you’ll hear in this episode:

                        • How to rewrite the “Why me” script

                        • The One Thing I Use to Get Back on Track to Achieving My Goals

                          This episode was inspired by an article titled “The one sentence that finally inspired me to lose 70 pounds”.

                          I read that and thought to myself, “I want to know that one thing!!!”

                          Not because I feel I need to lose 70 pounds, but because anytime someone claims to know the one thing/secret/habit I really want to hear it.

                          So I checked it out….and liked what I read!

                          But the point of the article made me think about my one thing and about a topic that I address regularly on this show --- personal mission statements.

                          What you’ll learn in this episode:

                          • Why you might have a hard time getting back on track when you fall off
                          • How to keep momentum on your goals in life
                          • How the “one thing” from the MBG article ties into your personal mission statement

                          • Dingle: Being Original and Chucking the Status Quo - Matt Giovanisci

                            I’ve met some very cool people through this podcast. Typically, I’m inspired to have them on the show because of their work or the message they are pushing out to the world.

                            I’ll see their TED talk, or read one of their powerful blog posts, or hear them in an inspiring interview. Something like that.

                            My guest today impressed me for a totally different reason.

                            I met Matt Giovanisci through Facebook.

                            He posted a link to a webpage he created with the sole purpose of getting himself booked on podcasts.

                            I thought it was incredibly creative. Check it out here: http://www.moneylab.co/guest/

                            He made this web page, loaded it with tons of unique and funny information about why he'd make a great podcast guest, and put his contact info

                            I loved his approach and humor, and thought "What the heck? I have him on the show". And that's what happened!

                            Matt makes a living by being creative online. He's hosted a few podcasts, created some profitable online brands, produced some hilarious rap videos, and overall has been able to turn his passions into revenue streams that allow him to LIVE THE DREAM.

                            Matt and I talk about creativity, being original, and going against the herd. 

                            What you’ll learn in this episode:

                            • Why best practices are not meant to be followed
                            • A simple formula for getting started with your own creative endeavor
                            • Matt’s take on “having it all”

                              Continuing our series on the Having It A.L.L. framework, today's episode is all about LOVE. 

                              I have a special guest on this episode with me today, one perfectly suited to chat with me about love.

                              In this conversation you'll learn:

                              • The difference between conditional and unconditional love
                              • Where love falls in David R. Hawkin's "Scale Of Consciousness"
                              • The distinction between attachment and connection when it comes to love

                              • Man With A Mission: How To Have It All While Remaining Grounded with Bill Jamison

                                Yeah, this episode has a pretty bold title. But bold men are deserving of bold titles. I’ve been inspired by Bill Jamison since meeting him 3 years ago. What Bill has that made me want to record a conversation with him, is this amazing ability to surrender to what he does not know, trust in himself and the process, lead his life with purpose and conviction, love and give with all of his heart, and be an example of what a powerful 21st century man is all about. That’s someone who I want to talk to!
