Ever wondered why "smart" people (high IQ, degrees, etc) often feel unfulfilled? In this episode, we unpack the real measure of intelligence: designing a life you actually want to live. From ditching traditional success metrics to embracing emotional intelligence, adaptive skills, and your "zone of genius," we explore how rethinking smarts can lead to more freedom, fulfillment, and a lifestyle that makes you happy.
š§ Redefining intelligence: Why degrees and IQ don't equal smarts. It's about applying yourself, creativity, and designing a life true to you.
š Why smart people often feel unfulfilled: Spending too much time in your head, ignoring your body, grinding without joy, and chasing the wrong ladders.
š The truest form of intelligence: Building a life you love, not just climbing corporate rungs for the wrong reasons.
š¤ Multiple intelligences unpacked: From emotional (regulating stress) to adaptive (thriving without structure, key for nomads) and ethical (using power wisely).
š” Zone of genius: Tapping into what you're naturally great at, turning it into a remote career, and avoiding burnout by aligning work with your strengths.
š Adaptive intelligence for nomads: Functioning without routines, rebuilding after setbacks, and operating across cultures without melting down.
ā Challenge for listeners: Use ChatGPT to assess your intelligencesāwhat's your strongest, and how can it shape your dream life?
