The Mindful FIRE Podcast 71 : Invest in Your Health & Fitness Like You Invest In Your Money with Sean Alexander Hickle
Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond.
On this episode I'm joined by my friend, Sean Alexander Hickle, entrepreneur and founder of SimpleApproach.US, an online personal training program.
In this episode, Sean and I explored the idea of thinking about our health and our fitness as an area of investment equal to that, of our finances or any other area of our life that we invest in.
Over the last five years, Sean has trained all kinds of people from actors and models to business people, and even billionaires on how to develop their physical fitness.
In today's conversation we discuss:
- How Sean and I met randomly on a plane
- Sean's backstory and fitness journey
- How to think about health and fitness as an area of investment for your life
- The Centenarian Olympics and thinking long term
- How getting started with fitness doesn't need to be complex
- Applying the Pareto principle (80/20 rule) to health & fitness
- How Ockham's razor applies to health & fitness
- How investing in your physical fitness affects other areas of your life
- How building this habit impacts both self-confidence and work ethic?
- How getting your reps in and thinking long term mirrors a meditation practice
- Practicing solitude
- Sean’s advice to people early on path to FI
- Sean’s advice to people new to meditation
