The Bucket List Life - Helping You Build A Life By Design

Tired of setting goals that fizzle out?

We all dream of achieving big things, only to be met with frustration and self-doubt. It can feel overwhelming, even impossible, to bridge the gap between where we are and where we want to be.

But what if you could actually turn your wildest dreams into reality?

Join host Trav Bell as he sits down with Brian Luebben, a successful entrepreneur and host of "The Action Academy" podcast. Brian has interviewed countless seven, eight, and nine-figure entrepreneurs, and uses their insights and strategies to create freedom in his life and business.

In this episode, Trav and Brian explore the practical strategies of turning your passions into profit, shifting your mindset from scarcity to abundance and overcoming the obstacles that hold you back from achieving your goals.

Ready to stop waiting on the sidelines and let go of the fear holding you back from living your best life? Tune in to this conversation now!

Episode Highlights:
“If we really take it back to what the actual reasoning and core definition of a bucket list life is, it’s that we're gonna kick the bucket. We are going to die one day. So the experiences along with your interpretation of the experiences are equally important.” — Brian Luebben

"The fear never goes away. It is going to be there regardless. So since you know that fear never disappears, your relationship with fear is the only thing that changes 100%.” — Brian Luebben

“Life is 99% of the climb up the mountain, and then you take 2 minutes to take the picture at the peak of Everest. And then all of a sudden, like, you realise your Everest has 900,000,000 mountains that are higher than it across everything. So the mountain range never ends. Fall in love with the climb.” — Brian Luebben

“If you wanna up your game, add value.” —  Trav Bell

“If you're so addicted to being busy, you will never be peaceful. You will never find peace.” — Brian Luebben

Episode Highlights:

"What happens to you in life is not near as important as what you do about it.”  — Greg Shindler

"Data shows that people who did live longer typically were more intimate later in life than those who weren't.”  — Greg Shindler

“There's no silver bullet for living healthier longer, period. You gotta put in the work.” — Greg Shindler

“The primary goal is really about that functional decline, trying to keep that as intact as possible for as long as possible. And I think that's the right goal, quite frankly.” — Greg Shindler

“Just be curious. When we're curious, it opens more doors.” — Greg Shindler

“With any goal that you've got in life, you can easily get overwhelmed. I've always said to people to pick a handful, I reckon 3, 4 max thought leaders in the space and just say no to everyone else and let and just go deep on their stuff.” — Trav Bell

Did you know?

Suicide is the leading cause of death for young Australians, with most mental health battles starting before 25. While sobering, there is light ahead.

Joining us with hope and purpose is Todd Morgan, CEO of Outside the Locker Room. They aim to rewrite the story around mental health by equipping individuals and communities to prioritise emotional wellbeing over stigma.

This conversation explores the power of human connections, proactive support systems, and positive cultures to transform challenges into strengths. Todd shares his motivations for this mission and Outside the Locker Room's uplifting approach.

Together, we can rewrite the mental health narrative. So tune into this solutions-focused chat as we gain insight, get equipped to take action, and spread more light.



Episode Highlights:

"If you can create a really good culture at work or sporting club or in some sort of community group or inside your own friendship group, that's the most important part." — Todd Morgan

"The more vulnerable, the more authentic you are, the more it's you, the more it's heartfelt. That gives licence permission for the recipient, the kids in this case, to open up." — Trav Bell

"It's the little moments. It's the little shares. It's the full on case studies that you hear the results of people later on down the track swinging back in and certainly back to you and sharing." — Trav Bell

“Once you drop your ego, there's a direct correlation between how people will open up to you and how you'll start helping other people.” — Trav Bell

“If you can't find it, be the first. Keep being the first, keep being the change you want to see in the world. You've got to take that first step.” — Todd Morgan

Ever wonder what secrets the longest-living people on Earth know that we don't?

Join host Trav Bell for an illuminating conversation with the insightful and thought-provoking Marcus Pearce. We dove deep into the secrets of longevity and quality living, challenging societal norms, and embracing a life of purpose and health.

Episode Highlights: 

“We suffer from infobesity these days. You gotta know what we pay attention to on a day-to-day basis.” - Trav Bell

“You just wanna hone your craft. So mine is longevity and life design, and I just wanna get better and better and better at that, which means I have to become dumber and dumber and dumber in certain other areas that could distract me.” - Marcus Pearce

“It's all about putting quality into the quantity of your life. Who cares about quantity if you don't have quality?” - Marcus Pearce

“A lot of people live reactively rather than proactively. So if your friend group is not serving you, it's okay to cull. Go find another herd to hang around with where you get love and acceptance.” - Trav Bell

“We've become so transactional and status-oriented around our lifestyle that we've actually forgotten the art of living.” - Marcus Pearce

Episode Highlights:

“I spent nearly a decade as a high performer, and when you spend a lot of time training for deployments, you spend a lot of time with your senses heightened and fully on guard and aware. It's not like an on-off switch. While that stuff does fade for some people, it doesn't fade for everybody. And depending on the type of trauma you endure or see, we all respond to it differently.” - Jeremy Locke

“The more you speak and the more you get that story and that poison out of you, the more you can start healing from inside and out. It helps so many other people.” - Jeremy Locke

“The more vulnerable and authentic and real that you are as an alpha male too, there's a direct correlation. The more I'm vulnerable, the more I can help.” - Jeremy Locke

“We prescribe purpose, not pills.” - Jeremy Locke

Longing to leave a legacy that's both purposeful and impactful? Is building a school or supporting a worthy cause an item you’d like to tick off your bucket list?

Our special guest today might inspire you to make those dreams a reality.

Joining us from Bali is Tanya Armstrong, CEO of Classroom of Hope—an organisation building schools out of recycled plastic to promote both education and environmental sustainability.

Tanya brings with her an incredible journey of overcoming personal tragedy, prioritising mental health, and dedicating herself to empowering others. From her early days working in a Melbourne homelessness agency to now leading Classroom of Hope, she has turned adversity into positive global change through her resilience and care for humanity.

Expect inspiration that will encourage you to create change through service—no matter how small. Tune in and learn how you too can make a difference!


Episode Highlights:

“If you have poor mental health, you're not a burden on your family. If you take your own life, that's a big burden for your family to carry." – Tanya Armstrong

“Classroom of Hope was not only building schools and giving education to kids who didn't have access to education, but they were doing it in an environmentally sustainable way, and I knew that if I was moving out of homelessness, I wanted to move into environment.” – Tanya Armstrong

“We're getting plastic out of the ocean, number 1. We're recycling it, number 2. Then we're building schools and we're educating kids. Where's the negative? So many great big ticks there.” – Trav Bell

Feeling like a passive bystander in your own life? Want to break free from mediocrity and unlock your full potential? If so, you're in for a treat!

Join us for a conversation with Craig Harper, exercise scientist, renowned speaker, presenter, and author of the impactful book “Stop F*cking Around”. Together, we explore the powerful intersection of body and mind, the challenging but rewarding path of public speaking, and how authenticity – even when controversial – can forge genuine connections.

Get ready to be challenged, motivated and equipped with Craig Harper’s no-fluff wisdom and practical advice.

Episode Highlights:
“How much I know about anatomy and physiology and biomechanics and exercise programming and nutrition is not nearly as important as how well I understand the person in the body.” – Craig Harper

“There's a lot of disengaged people out there, and that leads to obviously the fight that we're trying to fight in our own way, through our own lens of mental health, and we've certainly come up against that. The model of the world that we've been sold to is broken because we're in a mental health perfect storm.”  – Trav Bell
