Chase Jarvis | You’re Wasting Your Life (Without Even Realizing It) @ChaseJarvis | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this episode, I sit down with Jodi Wellman, who calls herself "The Grim Reaper's Cheerleader," to dive into the deep stuff—how thinking about our own mortality can actually help us live more fully, with no regrets. Jodi breaks down her 4000 Mondays project and how we often get stuck fantasizing about our goals instead of taking real action. I also share a bit of my own journey after selling my company, where I had to rethink what really matters. We talk about the power of breaking out of our routines, why journaling can keep us on track, and how small, intentional changes can make a big impact on living a meaningful life.
