The 200% Life

There is a seemingly never-ending amount of literature out there about the power of the perfect morning routine. “Wake up at 4am. Workout for 2 hours. Complete an entire day’s work before 9am.” The problem is, no “perfectly structured” morning routine will work for you unless your why behind it is strong enough. You have to want to do it. Don’t adopt somebody else’s morning routine just because it...

The following bonus episode was taken from a Project U coaching session . In it, I discussed how there is no easy button in growth, how subtle thoughts are the sneakiest, what staying in witness consciousness really means, and how we are supposed to face adversity as humans (remember - it's not supposed to be easy!) I hope you find as much value in this conversation as our Project U participants d...

Usually these are opportunities to grow—challenges we get to work through to become the best version of ourselves. Every once in a while though, our minds, bodies, or circums...

As high-achievers, we work hard to build careers and businesses that we believe will bring us a fulfilling life. The irony is that we convince ourselves it’s necessary to work hard now so we can enjoy life more fully later. So how do we avoid this trap of simply “getting through the day” in order to appreciate some ever elusive point in the future? The secret is to create space to learn, work and...

In our society, we’re often taught that success and happiness are synonymous with achieving our goals.

In this solo episode, I explain how this kind of thinking keeps us in a perpetual state of seeking...

When I was first introduced to the concept of meditation, I immediately wrote it off as not being for me. I thought I was too much of a fast-paced go-getter to let meditation slow me down. But when I finally decided to give it a try (after discovering that other high-achievers attributed much of their success to meditation) it changed everything for me. This week, Caitlin and I share our personal...

“My heart dropped.” We all know this feeling.
