Welcome to Mindful Monday!

This week, we focus on the simple formula for a nice life, the opening of applications for our Learning Leader Circle, the power of a "just cause." taming the mammoth, and some wise words from Eluid Kipchoge.

#655: Morgan Housel - The Art of Spending Money

​Morgan Housel is the best-selling author of The Psychology of Money, Same as Ever, and The Art of Spending Money. He regularly publishes his thoughts on The Collaborative Fund's blog. He's one of the few writers that I read every single word he publishes. During this conversation, we discuss The Simple Formula For Happiness, Betting on Others, Gaining Independence & Purpose, Family Vacation Secrets, The Art of Spending Money, & The Death Bed Lesson Every Leader Needs to Hear. You can also WATCH our conversation on YouTube.

The Learning Leader Circle - NOW Accepting Applications

We open applications for our Learning Leader Circle once a year. That time is now. If you want to surround yourself with growth-focused, ambitious leaders who want to put a positive dent in the world, then apply now. If you're curious to hear from a current member, here is what GTM leader, Nicole Stoltenberg, said about her time in our Learning Leader Circle: “This has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever been part of, both professionally and personally. The vibe, the people, the conversations, the activities... all top-notch and actionable. If you’ve ever even thought about joining a leadership circle, I can’t recommend the Learning Leader Circle enough. Go apply!” CLICK HERE to apply.

The Power of a "Just Cause"

There is a difference between being busy and doing something that matters. Most people are busy. Few are guided by something deeper. That deeper thing, what Simon Sinek calls a “Just Cause,” is what separates a company people work for from one they truly believe in. It’s a vision of the future that is worth struggling for. Worth being misunderstood for. Worth waking up early and staying late for. CLICK HERE to read more.

Taming The Mammoth

Our bodies and minds are built to live in a tribe many many years ago... Which leaves modern humans with a number of unfortunate traits, one of which is a fixation with tribal-style social survival in a world where social survival is no longer a real concept.

Wise Words

“The body is counting. Don't miss the training in the morning and the evening, because the body is counting.” - Eliud Kipchoge, legendary marathon runner, that applies to greatness in anything.
