Since yesterday was my birthday, I thought it would be a good time to talk about longevity.

This is a topic I’ve been looking into a lot lately because my retreat in Costa Rica will take place in a “blue zone” - one of just a handful of places around the world where groups of people are living past 100.

So after doing a lot of “hacking” into longevity, and reading countless “longevity lists” that all had general, underwhelming...

I’ve loved to travel my whole life and I think it's one of the most important ways to learn and grow as humans. Which is why I'm so excited to be leading my first retreat.

And I’ve had ALL KINDS of experiences. 

I’ve stayed in 5-Star luxury resorts, and I’ve also slept on bunk-beds in hostels. I’ve traveled via old-fashioned train, moto-bike, tuk-tuk, island-hopper, private yacht, sailboat, horse-back, horse & buggy, ferry, dhow, and rickshaw....

With V'Day a few days away I thought I'd give you some ideas about how you can get extra cozy with your loved ones with a little help from the Danes.

Denmark is well known for being one of the happiest countries in the world, but they are also known to feel more calm and peaceful than people in other European countries. 

There are many factors that contribute to that, but for the most part, it's due to their focus on Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga).

Hygge loosely translates as a...

I am a thinker. I have an analytical mind and I love to figure everything out.

As a result, I have found myself listening to what my brain is telling me to do probably more than I should ‍.

And as I’ve come to understand the power and underutilized intelligence of the heart, I’ve started to learn how to do a better job at listening to my heart instead of my mind.

Before I get to the research, let me clarify this a bit.

The mind is a pretty loud place.

You may have...

Well.... are you?  

• Did you sleep with it?
• Do you give it your undivided attention?
• Is it always on your mind?
• Did you take it to lunch or even worse... dinner???!!
• Do you want it by your side at all times?
• Is it the first thing you interact with when you wake up in the morning?
• Do you sneak it into the shower?

Well, consider yourself caught! 

Odds are your phone is creating a gap between you and your loved ones. But as long as it doesn't get as bad as in this...

If you take a look at what's in the media today… you’ve probably already noticed that the majority of the news and articles focus on two things; money and beauty . And usually, the headlines are somehow insinuating that more of either or more both of those things is what we should be striving for…

We glorify the richest people, the most profitable companies, the countries with the highest GDP, and the most powerful stocks . Women should focus on reducing wrinkles, losing...

You know that going to the beach makes you feel good... but why??

Blue Mind: A mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peace, unity, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction with life in the moment. - Wallace J. Nichols, PHD

As I sit here writing this, I’m staring at the bright turquoise blue ocean in Hawaii . The waves are perfect. They take a long time to crash - gently rolling in from a few hundred yards out. The surfers are all grouped together out there in the...

If you opted-in to the Free Video Series, you remember that I mentioned there are 5 Areas of Life you must master. One of them is your Financial Wellbeing.

So the first thing I have to make very clear that Financial Wellbeing isn’t about how to design your budget properly, be a good investor, or how to make a lot of money…. because if you look around, there are plenty of people who do all of those things very well and they are NOT necessarily any happier for it.
