Episode 96 - How to Manage Multiple Interests Successfully with Joel Bouchard



Are you wondering whether it will ever be possible to combine not just two, not just three but many of your multiple interests? Then this Episode is for you!

Joel Burchard, this week's fast-brained guest, is a doctoral student in psychology, a multi-instrumentalist record producer, author, painter, Army veteran, business leader, and host of the philosophy podcast "From Nowhere to Nothing."

Now that's a crazy amount of things to balance out (in addition to being married) - so we talk about how he manages to successfully juggle all of the above. 

We dig into the creative process, his musical journey, the concept of freedom, the meaning of life,  why play is essential, and of course we talk a LOT of philosophy. 

Main Learnings and Takeaways:

  • Striving for perfection can be detrimental; instead, embrace your flaws. 

  • Moderation is key to avoiding burnout and maintaining a healthy balance in life.

  • Trusting one's intuition is crucial in the creative process.

  • Freedom in creativity comes from breaking free from societal expectations.

  • Incorporating play into life fosters creativity, joy, and fulfilment.

  • Reflecting on the meaning of life and confronting the fear of death can bring deeper understanding and purpose.

  • Conscious decision-making is essential in finding meaning and purpose in life.
