Two Men On A Mission

EP. 18 | “Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about eliminating the things that you are not.”

This podcast is like none I’ve done before.

Not only was this episode recorded live and in-person with this week’s guest, but it was a tandem job! As I’m sharing this episode with you, so is Austin sharing this exact same episode on his podcast.

Austin is the CEO and founder of Entrecloud – a forward-thinking WordPress hosting company that helps amplify entrepreneur’s voices online. Austin is also a deep-thinker, a philosopher and an action-taker. Since I first met him he’s achieved so much and keeps raising the bar higher.

So when I saw him in San Diego earlier this month at a mastermind meetup, I couldn’t wait to pull out the mic, hit record, and get stuck into a deep, thought-provoking conversation about life, happiness, fear, and everything in between.

If you want to create a happier life, you have to take responsibility for creating a happier life.

Happiness is a mindset and a choice. It’s an emotion that’s inherently human, and also one that you can cultivate and design – if you have strategies to do that.

In this week’s episode, Austin and I explore the philosophy of happiness, the importance of men being able to process their emotions, and the awesome power of fear and how you can use it to get what you want.

We also talk about cheat codes, taking massive action, and how your higher self is always drawing you closer to the live you want to live.

This conversation took place over a glass of wine in the beautiful Californian sun and the more we talked, the more the ideas and insights flowed.

Austin inspired me and I’m confident he’ll inspire you too. Discover what we have to say on some of life’s most important topics in this week’s podcast.
