Weekly Tips, Tools & Strategies to alchemize your Fitness, Money & Life

“All those who wander aren't lost.”

Greetings my fellow Life Alchemists!

We're taking at least a week off from releasing the next podcast episode as we complete the brand makeover, but don't worry there's plenty more coming. If you need some podcasts to tide you over consider checking out one of the 46 episodes you haven't listened to yet. Here's the entire podcast archive if you want to look for any past shows that grab your attention. Here's a specific episode for health/fitness, one for money & one for living your best life.

Without further ado, let's proactively build your Fit Rich Life—FRL! Your weekly dose of actionable tips, tools & strategies to alchemize your Fitness, Money & Life to the Next Level.

FITNESS: Train like the athletes you most admire.
I am a firm believer that everyone should incorporate at least some strength training as science shows us that building strength is key to longevity & healthspan. I also believe that the best fitness training is (a) the one you will stick to & (b) the one that will create the body you most want. A good way to figure out what this should look like in your own life is to look at the athletic physiques you most admire. In my case, I've always loved & admired the gymnastic body & the body of natural physique bodybuilders (not ridiculously huge, but definitely jacked). That's why every week I do a combination of bodybuilding & gymnastic-like calisthenics. If you want to look like a cyclist, train like a cyclist. If you want to look like a runner, train like a runner. If you want to mix two athletic body types incorporate training from both.

MONEY: Build wealth like millionaires.
There are three main ways to become a millionaire: (1) investing W2 income, (2) entrepreneurship, & (3) real estate. Most of my millionaire friends hyper-focused on one of them & then expanded into the others although I do know a few that did 2-3 of them all at the same time from the get-go. You can become a millionaire working a W2 & investing. You can become a millionaire by starting your own thing. And you can definitely fast-track your way to financial freedom with real estate if you do it right. I first became a millionaire by investing my W2 income then went on to become a multimillionaire by continuing to invest my W2 income while also expanding into entrepreneurship & real estate. However, that doesn't have to be the order in which you do it. The truth is there is no right path, there is just the path you choose. The key is to proactively choose your strategy & take massive action on it every single week until you achieve millionaire status.

LIFE: If you don't know where to go next in life look to those you admire (or envy).
We live in an infinite house of mirrors. Other people reflect back to us what is possible. If you're feeling stuck in life & wondering what direction to go look to those that you really admire. Or look to those that you envy. Same difference in my opinion. Those we admire (and envy) are showing us aspects of a life that we desire. The radical thing is that they are actually giving us a map of how to get there if we can set aside our envy & instead look to them as guides on our own path. You can combine the tracks of a few people you really admire (or envy), add your own path to it, and voila! Now you have a clear path to get where you really want to go. I call this the "Envy Atlas," a collection of maps that will empower you to live your Best Life Path that in aggregation is uniquely yours.
