70: Strategic Ignorance

Contrary to popular belief, it's good to be ignorant. You only have so much capacity in your mind, so you need to be hyper-selective about what gets into your head. In this episode, I cover a critical life skill: strategic ignorance. And I share my strategies for how I apply this idea, professionally and personally.  *** 👉 Complimentary Uncaged Masterclass 🌐 Show website: UncageYourself.FM *** RESOURCES "Badass Corporate" Private Facebook Group Newsletter: Uncaged Secrets Connect w/ Matt on LinkedIn Follow on Twitter @MatthewRDoan Watch the show on YouTube

68: Invisible Scripts That Run Your Life

Invisible scripts run your life. That’s a tough pill to swallow. But it's true — they’ve owned you forever. No more. It’s time you shine a light on them, break free of limiting beliefs, and embrace your actual potential. Or you could stay comfortably stuck…your choice. *** 👉 Complimentary Uncaged Masterclass 🌐 Show website: UncageYourself.FM *** RESOURCES Episode 53: Paul Millerd - Awakening From the Default Path Episode 62: You Need Skin in the Game "Badass Corporate" Private Facebook Group Newsletter: Uncaged Secrets Connect w/ Matt on LinkedIn Follow on Twitter @MatthewRDoan Watch the show on YouTube

67: Addition by Subtraction

My coaching clients are wildly successful by any traditional measure. The problem is they’ve got no room left in their cup for anything new — however much they might desire it. They’re always maxed out. The only way forward is addition by subtraction. Make this principle core to your career and life philosophy. By default, your cup should be more empty than full. Mind blown? Listen carefully. *** 👉 Complimentary Uncaged Masterclass 🌐 Show website: UncageYourself.FM *** RESOURCES "Badass Corporate" Private Facebook Group Newsletter: Uncaged Secrets Connect w/ Matt on LinkedIn Follow on Twitter @MatthewRDoan Watch the show on YouTube

66: Entrepreneurship Is the Most Brutal (And Effective) Way to Discover Yourself

2022 was the year I left corporate. It was one hell of a ride — learning to be a full-time entrepreneur. Big-time highs...and lows. As I reflected upon year one, I landed on a surprising conclusion: entrepreneurship is brutal. But it's magically brutal, and I don't regret a second of it. *** 👉 Complimentary Uncaged Masterclass 🌐 Show website: UncageYourself.FM *** RESOURCES "Badass Corporate" Private Facebook Group Newsletter: Uncaged Secrets Connect w/ Matt on LinkedIn Follow on Twitter @MatthewRDoan Watch the show on YouTube

I can confidently say that I've grown more in 12 months of entrepreneurship than I did in the last decade of corporate life. Professionally and personally, I'm a completely different person. So I took time to document those lessons, and now I'm passing them on to you. I hope they help.

63: Billy Keels - Leveraging Corporate for Your Dream Life

Billy Keels is one of the “awakened” ones. After years of undeniable success in the corporate world, he intentionally started leveraging those gains to fuel his bigger, more badass life. Now, as an entrepreneur, Billy helps highly-paid professionals take control of their lives and create wealth through cash-flowing, tax-efficient investments. He’s a fountain of actionable wisdom! *** 👉 Complimentary Uncaged Masterclass 🌐 Show website: UncageYourself.FM *** TIMESTAMPS 02:48 Comparing U.S. & Europe 06:06 Importance of environment 09:18 The allure of default paths 11:23 Awakening 16:05 A fresh view on corporate life 19:55 Doing corporate on your terms 24:02 Outcomes over hours 27:20 Scratching that entrepreneurial itch 34:26 Failing forward 37:32 Rapid fire questions *** TAKEAWAYS 1. Default paths can quickly become your identity. Therefore, we must consciously decouple from them. 2. What we’re surrounded by, we adopt. 3. Corporate life can be a great accelerator to your career, but we must control that ascent. 4. Don’t just plug into the corporate machine like everyone else. You can deliver results (more efficiently) on your terms. 5. No one really cares about your work hours, only the value you produce. So use that to your advantage. 6. Too many people are “theoretical ninjas” — passively consuming good information without implementing it. 7. Healthy person = healthy worker. Focus primarily on being the former; the latter is a byproduct. 8. “The next logical step” is often the most illogical thing to do. 9. “It’s not about the money. It’s about how you’re investing your time in the moments that matter the most.” *** RESOURCES How Highly-Paid Pros Can Pay Less Tax Connect w/ Billy on LinkedIn Going Long Podcast First Generation Capital Partners "Badass Corporate" Private Facebook Group Connect w/ Matt on LinkedIn Follow on Twitter @MatthewRDoan Check the show on YouTube
