Simple Steps to Financial Freedom
Is financial freedom just a pipe dream? Living paycheck to paycheck, drowning in debt, and feeling like you'll never get ahead financially? You're not alone.

Why You Need To Start Doing Epic Sh*t
Most people live a boring life. They wake up, head to their boring job, drive back home in their boring car, and return to their boring apartment, only to watch television until they fall asleep. They keep saying, “I want to do this” and “I want to do that” but they never take action. Instead, they merely exist, working just enough to survive and repeat the same boring routine day after day. Years pass, filled with the same boring activities, as they fear expanding their comfort zone and trying something new. This fear keeps them trapped in a self-made prison, where they never explore, never experiment, and never challenge themselves. They never push their boundaries, and most importantly, they never do anything epic. In this episode, I share 11 ideas to add some epic moments to your life.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comThis episode is brought to you by:TruvagaEmbrace greatness through these empowering offerings:Embrace the boundless power of your mind.

Tiny Habits That Will Transform Your Life
Great accomplishments often originate from humble beginnings. Every habit begins with a single, seemingly insignificant decision. Habits function as the compound interest of self-improvement, much like money multiplies through compound interest. The effects of our habits multiply as we consistently repeat them. While they may seem to have little impact on any given day, over months and years, their effects can be substantial. In this episode, I discuss tiny habits that will compound and transform your life.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comThis episode is brought to you by:Shopify310 NutritionEmbrace greatness through these empowering offerings:Embrace the boundless power of your mind.

This happens when our lives gradually deteriorate, and we adapt to these conditions instead of eliminating them until we're no longer strong enough to escape.

In this episode, I discuss how to recognize when you're in the boiling water and, more importantly, how to escape.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comEmbrace greatness through these empowering offerings:Embrace the boundless power of your mind.

A Guide to Mindful Energy Consumption
Michael Brandt, Founder of Ketone-IQ, operates at a fast and intense pace. He cruises through marathons at a cool 6-minute mile pace, meticulously tracking his performance and energy consumption. It's no surprise, considering Michael majored in computer science and product design at Stanford, scoring in the 99th percentile on his GMAT. Just like the speed of his mile pace, he decided to skip business school and go straight into entrepreneurship, creating an entirely new category of ketone shots that have revolutionized elite sports and high-end workplaces. Quickly scaling the business to multi-million dollars in revenue, including a $6MM contract with the US Department of Defense, it's no wonder Michael is so thoughtful about his energy consumption. In this episode, we discuss how video games can enhance our strategic thinking skills and improve resource allocation, the art of designing our life, the importance of finding meaning in our work, and how to channel our addictions into healthy pursuits.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comThis episode is brought to you by:H.V.M.N: Save 30% off your first subscription order of Ketone-IQ™Embrace greatness through these empowering offerings:Embrace the boundless power of your mind.
