Intentionally Vicarious: Having more fun than anyone else you know!

Healthcare is a huge issue and Barbara Boxer is one national figure who has focused on not only the issues, but also on the best courses of action. The former U.S. Senator discusses healthcare with Intentionally Vicarious host Todd Youngblood.

How's this for a thought...??? First craft a lifestyle. Then build a business around that. Makes TONS of sense to me! Darrah Brustein, (DarrahBrustein.com) Founder of Network Under 40 among other things is a shining example of this Lifestyle First approach.

A long weekend is one of life’s true pleasures - and it most certainly has tremendous potential for getting you to the point where you’re having more fun than anyone else you know. The thoughts herein are therefore all about improving your “long weekend skills.”

Can one person provide a living example of ALL the core themes of Intentionally Vicarious? Maybe... Guest Cliff Ravesncraft, The Podcast Answer Man, gets about as close as you can get.

His "Wellness Journey" is the gist of this episode. From 272 pound health-crisis-waiting-to-happen to endurance athlete. Quite a story!

Without sound financial planning, it's pretty darned hard to have more fun than anyone else you know. It's possible, but a few extra disposable bucks in your pocket sure make it way, way easier. It's something that a few folks can pull off without outside help, but if you're like me, flying solo seems a bit foolhardy.

My conversation with self-described "Yes-Man," Randy Yeomans gave me a whole new perspective on the stereotypical, bore-me-to-tears green eyeshade type. Listen up!

In this episode, host Todd Youngblood talks about how he got hooked on - what was for him - an unexpected hobby. He went from 6 decades of total dis-interest in guns and shooting to become a bona-fide "gun guy." 

Seems to me that a lot of our high-profile politicians and public figures are either pretty much oblivious to their own blatant hypocrisy or... they’re genuine, for real hypocrites. They’re certainly good at high-minded rhetoric that resonates with and fires up their base supporters, charges up fundraising and keeps the discussion as consistently simple-minded as possible.

I think “We the people” need to focus MUCH more intently on the atrocious contradictions the money and power-seeking political class continuously foist on us.

In spirit, living an Abundant, Loving, Life and having more fun than anyone else you know are really pretty much the same thing.

How smart do you need to be to effectively and efficiently manage $10 Billion per year? Apparently, we U.S. citizens think EVERY member of Congress fits that description. Seriously???!!!

Any self-respecting, self-described "South Georgia Redneck" of course loves to go fishing. It's more than sitting there holding a pole!
