In this episode of The Inner Entrepreneur, Paul sits down with legendary entrepreneur, speaker, and Life by Design author Jack Daly — a man who’s proving that age is no barrier to passion, performance, or purpose. At 76 years old, Jack is buzzing with the energy of someone decades younger, driven by a clear life vision, an unwavering growth mindset, and a bucket list over 400 items long (80% complete!).
Jack shares powerful insights on:
- Designing Your Life — why you should never leave your best years to chance.
- Pushing Beyond Limits — from marathons on all seven continents to hiking Machu Picchu at 70+.
- Overcoming Loss & Finding New Joy — how he rebuilt life after losing his wife of 52 years.
- Discipline with Purpose — the “bumper guards” that keep him aligned with his goal of living to 125.
- Why CEOs Must Focus on Culture — and how that frees you from 80-hour workweeks.
- Living Without Regret — the importance of acting on your dreams now, not “someday.”
This is an inspiring, high-energy conversation about living big, staying disciplined, and making sure your business fuels — not consumes — the life you truly want.
Books Mentioned:
- Life by Design by Jack Daly
- Hyper Sales Growth by Jack Daly
Takeaways:
- Your business is a tool to fund your ideal life — not the other way around.
- Put health, relationships, and personal growth first — they’re the real measures of wealth.
- Discipline isn’t about restriction — it’s about protecting your bigger goals.
- Design your life now; don’t wait for “retirement” to start living it
