The Gratitude Journal, Vision Board, and Tension between Hustle and Slowness with Vernon Foster – SASM 078
“It has to start somewhere. It has to start sometime. What better place than here? What better time than now?”
Are you rocking yet? Those are Rage Against the Machine lyrics – something my guest for this episode, Vernon Foster, subtly incorporated into his Event Supremacy podcast – and that I definitely noticed.
When I first listened to his show, I thought:
* This is one funky dude (which, of course, I can appreciate).
* This guy knows his stuff! Maybe the SimpleREV 2014 event I'm co-organizing won't be a total train wreck with his help.
* Here's a fella who knows how to hustle, but in a vulnerable, authentic way.
Vernon's just a vibrant, charismatic man and I liked him from day 1 (he gets that a lot). But more importantly, he's been on an unconventional simplifying journey recently. And he's done it while still hustling – something that's not normally associated with slowing down, gratitude journals, and the typical simple living landscape.
What's his secret? He claims he doesn't have any. But I know he's got plenty-o'-experiences to share and a unique mindset. Check it:
