Living the Real

Living the Real

Being struck by the phrase "living the real" in a book he read years ago, Matt started processing his life through these three words. It wasn't long before he realized he repeatedly fell short of living a life evoking the same emotion that phrase conveyed. Thus started Matt's search for how to live a life that represented what those words surfaced in him. What came from that was his 3-M framework: Margin, Momentum and Maintenance.Join Matt as he unlocks the power of his 3-M framework through story and reflection.

This episode is all about when life feels entirely out of control. Previous episodes have focused on learning to live life through the lens of "discovery." The problem is that when life feels upside down, "life as discovery" is meaningless. What first needs to happen is to stop drowning! This episode is all about how to patch the gaping holes of life so we can get our boat afloat again.

    I love the concept of "reducing waste" in life and reallocating this idea of "waste" to important things in our life. Take a listen on eight ways (based on the lean manufacturing principles of Toyota) we can see, address, fix, and reallocate waste to better and more valuable parts of our relationship!

    Matt shows the consequences of a life without a focus on maintenance. Do you sometimes experience life as if it is an incredible mountain to climb? Do you feel like you are continuously having to clean up messes in your own life? Do you feel as if life has you by the throat? Chances are that these experiences are from a lack of focus on maintenance. 

    Listen, feel empathy, and now take action!
