The Guide To Making Big Life Decisions With No Regrets - Matt Garrow-Fisher

10/09/20 • 18 min

This episode is a bit different. You’ll hear from some of my past guests Seb Terry, Kim Orlesky and Luke Mickelson, as well as getting wisdom from Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos.
All these people share a game-changing strategy for making big decisions with no regrets.
I made this into an audio download and thought it was worth sharing it on this podcast for any of you who aren’t sure about what to do next in life or for those of you who have options to choose from and you are finding it difficult to make a big decision (whether that’s for a career or life change).
Please get in touch with me after listening to this and share your thoughts on how this helps you. Contact details below...

Shifting to A Remote Business With A Family - Dai Manuel

I talk to Dai Manuel on how he changed career and lifestyle, running a national 8 figure business in Canada with his partner to starting a new kind of career, an online career, one that's more remote and fulfilling a personal goal to build a life of freedom. I met Dai at a men’s group meetup in Bali, Indonesia and was super impressed by really how he, and,the fellow host, Nick Wood organised the group, they really led these men in the group, to have very powerful, conversations, and transformations. And then I got to know Dai a little bit more and found out some of the work he's been doing around lifestyle change, including, fitness, health, nutrition, really like whole life transformation. Now Dai’s a keynote speaker, actively involved in Toastmasters and had a lot of good stuff to say. I didn’t speak so much on this one so you’ll get to hear more from Dai about his story, his transition and advice he would give to others looking to make the leap into a new lifestyle.
