DB 206: How To Build The Ultimate Resume... A "Life Resume" (Credit: Jesse Itzler)

06/29/20 • 6 min

In today’s episode, Eva shares a concept that our family learned from an incredible man by the name of Jesse Itzler. If you follow Jesse on social media, you know that he is always smiling, always laughing, and always having epic experiences. This is no accident -- Jesse is committed to building what he calls a “Life Resume.” Not the traditional resume that most people think about that lists your work experience when you are applying for a job, but a resume that reflects all the amazing and unique experiences you have created in your life. Jesse’s personal life resume is chock-full of unique experiences that the vast majority of people would, quite frankly, not voluntarily sign up for... Like the time Jesse invited a Navy Seal to live in his house for 31 days to push him to his mental and physical limits. But Jesse is not encouraging his community to copy his resume -- but instead to build your own life resume that you can look back and marvel at one day. Jesse’s concept of a Life Resume has deeply impacted our entire family -- including Eva and our youngest daughter Sophia who have both adopted this mindset of seeking out new skills and new adventures. Eva shares in this episode how she has already started to build out her Life Resume, how she continues to do so even during this pandemic, and how having the “Build Your Life Resume” mindset leads to actually scheduling epic experiences and making them happen.

DB 207: A Super Healthy "Cookie Jar" With Unlimited Supply

In today’s episode, Eva talks about a cookie jar. But this is no ordinary cookie jar. Instead, this cookie jar is super healthy and has unlimited supply. Indeed, parents would LOVE for their kids to grab cookies from this cookie jar all the time. This concept was invented by the great David Goggins, who Eva has mentioned on a number of prior episodes (links in Resources Section in the show notes). David is widely considered to be the toughest man on the planet. He is the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training, the U.S. Army Ranger School and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training. Since his retirement from the military, David has also become one of the most accomplished endurance athletes in the world, completing over 60 ultra-marathons and setting new course records. He also once held the Guinness World Record for pull ups completing 4,030 in 17 hours. David has inspired millions by sharing his story and being honest that, even today, he has moments of doubt. But wherever he finds himself lost or lacking confidence, he goes to this Cookie Jar. Eva shares what he means and how your kiddos can apply the Cookie Jar concept in their lives. Hopefully David will come on the Dream Big Podcast one day to discuss the Cookie Jar and his incredible life story. Enjoy this powerful episode! Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/207
