Mission, Money, and Meaning – How to Get Your Life Together

Are you waiting for confidence, passion, or certainty before you make a big change?

Are you dicking around until you figure out what you really want to do with your life?

And why do so many rich, comfortable guys end up unhappy?

Today I’m talking to Joe Bernstein. I’ve been coaching him for almost two years now, and we’re going to hear what he’s learned from changing careers, getting a divorce, and losing more than 150 pounds.

In this discussion we talk about the mindset that keeps us playing small plus how mission, money, and meaning intertwine to create an amazing life.

In this interview:

  • “I’ll probably die in my mid-forties.”
  • Marrying the first girl he met on a dating app
  • You already have a life purpose — it’s probably just not what you want it to be
  • How to tell if your mission is aligned with what you truly want

Plus:

  • Where we find meaning
  • The mindset that cripples our ability to see opportunities
  • Our need for security, certainty, and significance
  • “Rich guy hobbies” and what it takes to commit
  • Playing your own game
