What does it mean to be fearless? In business, we’re faced with all kinds of challenges and obstacles, and in order to become Unstoppable we must find a way to overcome.

Is fearless all about not being afraid? Is it about turning off that fear chip in our brains? No. The best of us are fragile, we feel pain, we feel fear, and yet we still find a way to have belief, have optimism, and move forward every day.

The first step in becoming fearless is to learn to start each day strong. What you do within the first hour of your day sets the context for your entire day, perhaps even your entire week. My life hack for starting each day strong is to ALWAYS make my bed. Its one small thing you can start, you can finish, and you can feel good about every single day. Start there and build on that.

Tired of wasting time on Facebook? Feeling restless? Are you just starting at your phone while you’re at the airport waiting on line? Wondering where all the time went? In this episode, I talk about how I’m embracing boredom in my life to bring more meaningful moments into my days. My word for 2018 is: meaningful. Meaningful work, Meaningful relationships, Meaningful connections, Meaningful time spent, Meaningful dialogue and debate, Meaningful insights from data, Meaningful love, Meaningful goals, and Meaningful contributions! In the quest of Meaningful, I found that I was losing a lot of meaning in my life by constantly staring at my phone.

I’m the type of person that is either doing absolutely NOTHING or doing a MILLION THINGS. Last year, I sold my company, took on a new role, traveled through 9 different counties. It was awesome. I took thousands of pictures, I even put together this travel video. I accomplished a LOT. But it was a blur.

It was awesome! But it was a blur. My goal for 2018 is to embrace the word meaningful. I want meaningful relationships, meaningful work, meaningful love, I want every moment spent to be meaningful.

And so as I took the first business trip of the year to Denver, I set an intention for myself to think of every moment in half speed.

This meant two things:

1. I embraced boredom. If I had an idle moment waiting on line, I wouldn’t look at my phone, I’d look around and BE bored
2. I thought about bringing meaning into every moment, even if it was just me in the airport, by embracing the boredom, creating space, and observing what was going on around me instead of escaping to my phone

As part of that, I captured some footage from my trip to Denver. And as a creative experiment, I put together that footage and played it at half speed for you.

The most surprising thing to me as I looked through this footage was all the beauty that surrounded me in even the little details. So for this year, think about bringing more meaning into every moment. Embrace boredom, and see how much more you get out of every second!

I know you’re incredibly busy, but think about this: there is absolutely no worse feeling in the world than looking back at your 365 days at the end of the year and wondering… where did it all go?!

You know what’s the best feeling? Looking back at your year and checking off your FIVE KEY GOALS off your list because you did the work through the year to keep realigning to them and crush them.

In this episode, I talk about how I plan out my year to accomplish a growth mindset and crush my goals.

Only 8 percent of people actually keep their New Year’s resolutions. Borrowing a chapter from Napoleon Hill, Episode #3 talks about creating Definiteness of Purpose in your life; a better way to achieve your goals in the new year.

After I sold my company earlier in 2017, I took on a global role and went on more work and personal travel than I ever have in my life. Here’s what I learned and here’s why you should set a personal goal to travel more in 2018.
