Technology is supposed to make things more convenient so we can re-invest that time back into the things that GIVE us life - Reading a good book, exercising, spending time with loved ones, engaging in a hobby, etc. It feels, however, like we just take that time saved and spend more time in technology. Don't get me wrong, memes are God's gift to mankind, but they don't make us better friends, partners, co-workers, family members, individuals. They make us laugh for 2 seconds, and we scroll to find the next one that gives us the same effect. This episode is simply about the importance of choosing what truth we want to be apart of...then spending time with it in order to become one with it.  Email me about episode thoughts or ideas at [email protected]: @WantingLessPodcastFacebook: Wanting Less Community

We drive ourselves crazy because we're supposed to care more, no...be content and mindful....no...never be satisfied...wait, no, be happy and forgive yourself.......Well maybe, just maybe...it's about both. Maybe it's about getting really good at taking ALL of our capacity to care and love and do and....just be, and apply all of it to ONLY that which is going to build something we can be proud of. But what do I know? I'm just a guy who managed to be happy.  Music featured on the show:"Closer Together"By: Nicholas Alexandur"Thin Ice"By: Nicholas Alexandur - featuring Kelsey Veillette

Part 2 of 2 - James, Holland, and I finish our discussion with a conversation on what we've learned while working in Sales as well as how it ties into the "Wanting Less" way of thinking. The episode starts a little weird...by us ordering a pizza and sipping some more on our adult beverages. You'll have a laugh or two for sure, but you also might find that there are a few points that hit home to you. If you find this enjoyable and/or helpful, please tell others about it. And stay tuned for my next episode on getting more by "Caring Less". Music featured on the show:"Closer Together"By: Nicholas Alexandur"Thin Ice"By: Nicholas Alexandur - featuring Kelsey Veillette

Part 1 of 2 - Friends of mine, James and Holland, join me to discuss our three perspectives on personal finance, investing, and wanting fewer..."objects"...as James puts it, in order to achieve a lifetime of freedom before most people have grandchildren. We're just normal guys who stumbled into extraordinary knowledge. Oh, and wait until you hear what Holland does to save a buck or two on his out of town trips. Music featured on the show:"Closer Together"By: Nicholas Alexandur"Thin Ice"By: Nicholas Alexandur - featuring Kelsey Veillette

It's no surprise to anyone I've spoken with in the past 6 months or so that I am a zealot for financial wellness. This episode tells you why. It isn't just about the fact that I was forced to make a change, it was that the change made sense...and it was something that transformed my perspective on how I view money, wealth, and budgeting for life in general. This is my WHY just as much as it is my HOW. I learned that I can eventually have more, do more, and be more in the future, by wanting less today. Music featured on the show:"Closer Together"By: Nicholas Alexandur"Thin Ice"By: Nicholas Alexandur - featuring Kelsey Veillette

EpisodeIn the very first, full-length episode of the Wanting Less Podcast, I interview a friend of mine - Dr. Bridget Cooper.Dr. B and I have a riveting conversation about what she has done to help her clients break through the unnecessary walls they have put up around themselves, some tactics that can be helpful for you, and we even stumbled into a small epiphany of my own. Don't worry, Dr. B is not a stuffy intellectual, even in spite of all that she knows. We had a great dialogue that left me laughing, thinking, and fired up about what's next for me. I encourage listeners to watch her Ted Talk featured on her website where she discusses her why - it will move you.You can learn more about Dr. B - and see her Ted Talk in Newport Rhode Island at drbridgetcooper.com Music featured on the show:"Closer Together"By: Nicholas Alexandur"Thin Ice"By: Nicholas Alexandur - featuring Kelsey Veillette
