"People regret most what they don't try, not what they tried and failed."
Joe Huff, co-author, The Experiential Billionaire
So, you aren't a financial millionaire. I learned to appreciate that that's less important than being an experiential billionaire!
Chris Schembra - the "Gratitude Guru," mentioned the book "The Experiential Billionaire" during Episode 11 of Stubbornly Young. I loved the title and asked if he'd introduce me to the authors. That's how I found myself having a fulfilling and thought provoking conversation with Bridget Hilton and Joe Huff, co-authors. I wondered why do so many people have "skydiving" on their experience bucket list and then not do it? Are some of us shaping our dreams of experiences based on what seems exciting more than what would be meaningful and compelling for us? This led to a condensed exploration (read the book!) of what will make us truly feel like an experiential billionaire, and how to get there.
Top Takeaways:
- Embracing a life filled with rich experiences
- Cultivating a journey of meaningful endeavors
- Crafting significant milestones
- Overcoming obstacles in the quest for fulfillment
- The concept of being an experiential billionaire
- Valuing life's experiences above material possessions
- Harmonizing life's adventures with everyday duties
- The enriching effect of shared experiences
- The synergy of personal satisfaction and contributing to the lives of others
- The importance of lifelong learning and exploration
