Alex visits St. Louis, Missouri to catch up with his friend Matt Vincent, a two-time Highland Games world champion and serial entrepreneur. They start by making a simple protein coffee with just a protein shake and an espresso and continue discussing various topics, including travel experiences and the significance of living intentionally. Matt shares his thoughts on doing what youâre âsupposedâ to do and how his philosophy of 1612 led him to discovering happiness is a moment. Lasting change comes from consistent small actions, embracing discomfort, and managing distractions, rather than expecting perfection or instant transformation. The episode wraps up with reflections on spirituality and answering the profound question of how time dilates with how present you are. If youâre in for a conversation outside the bounds of small talk, tune in as a fly on the wall as we sip coffee, share stories, and discover new perspectives on life.
Key Takeaways:
⢠Life is about intentionally pursuing passions, not obligations, with the awareness that time is finite
⢠Lasting change comes from consistent small actions and managing distractions, rather than expecting perfection or instant transformation
⢠Recognizing the difference between discomfort and danger can transform your life
