Here at Empire Building, we're all about building a big business, and more importantly, a bigger life. So today we dive into how to live a big, long, healthy, robust life. We are talking Blue Zones.Blue Zones are parts of the world where people live the longest. Dan Buettner came up with the term while studying the places that have the highest life expectancy or with the highest proportions of people who reach age 100: Barbagia region of Sardinia; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica; Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda California; and Okinawa, Japan. In this episode, we review the 9 daily habits that Dan identified across these communities. They are: Move naturally, have purpose, down shift, eat to 80% full, stick to a plant-based diet, drink alcohol moderately, belong to a community, put your family first, and find your circle of support.We dive into the details of each one and talk about how we can find space for them in our own lives as Empire Builders.Resources:Learn more at the Blue Zones Project Listen to Simon Sinek's podcast episode with Dan Buettner Read Peter Attia's book “Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity” Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVA Media

Building an empire is exhilarating, but let's be real—it's far from flawless. If you're anything like me, you've had your fair share of moments over the years where you just wish you could hit a rewind button. I've been reflecting on my 17-year journey, from the highs to the very lows. And honestly? I can be my harshest critic. Aspiring for excellence means inevitably stumbling upon mistakes. Yet, in the midst of empire building, it's those genuine, deep-rooted relationships that matter the most. And let's face it, in any relationship, we're bound to slip, trip, and sometimes nosedive. But here's the silver lining: for those relationships that truly matter, there's a path to redemption. We're diving deep into that. Let's uncover the seven essential steps to bounce back when you falter as an empire builder.Relationships matterListen and ask to understand the other person's perspectiveOwn your part in the problemSay you are sorry - and mean itTake a step back & Look at what you can do better next timeAsk what you want to come out of this relationship or problemPick yourself up off the floor and be better next timeResources:The Power of Regret by Daniel PinkConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVA Media

Building an empire is a worthy goal, but that doesn't mean it's without its stressors. It can even be hard to notice in the moment. Imagine being so disconnected from your own body that you only recognize its distress when you're completely worn down.

Recognizing the signs your body sends you can be a powerful tool in avoiding this level of burnout.So, for the next two weeks, we're going to delve into the mechanics of our brains, understand how our bodies react, and discover ways to leverage that brainpower to alter our responses and cultivate healthier relationships and outcomes.This week, we'll unravel the basic structures of the brain and its development, a critical step towards understanding what goes on in your mind and body when faced with a threat.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into our library as we champion the notion, "Leaders are Readers." We're of the belief that there's no habit quite as enriching, or with as potent an ROI, as reading a book. Whether you're a fan of paper or an Audible enthusiast, we can't emphasize enough the importance of making reading a part of your daily routine. Consider this - a book usually costs no more than $15-25, but even a single nugget of wisdom you glean from it could have a life-altering impact. Isn't that an incredible ROI?Now, you might wonder - what kind of books should I read? We're glad you asked. The beauty of books lies in their diversity. From fiction to business and leadership non-fiction, every genre has the potential to offer valuable insights. Remember, each book tells a story, often one that we can learn from, relate to, and apply in our own lives.And, what's even more exciting about reading books? They're essentially shortcuts to wisdom. You don't need to go through the experiences of the authors or the characters. Their journeys, lessons, struggles, and victories are served to you on a platter, for you to learn from and apply without going through the same hardship or expense. The average American reads around 12 books a year, while half read just four or fewer. We challenge you to exceed that average, to immerse yourself in the wealth of knowledge that books offer.So join us today as we delve into our favorite books, exploring the invaluable lessons they've taught us. Prepare yourself for an insightful journey that could fundamentally alter your perspective and perhaps even your life.Books Discussed:Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins ReidDie With Zero by Bill Perkins
