From years of experience as the founder of a financial firm, Court Creeden's life was forever changed after seeing the truth of the lives people are really living. Now he uses his coaching skills, background in finance, and love of personal connection to help people design a life they actually want to be living. From the overwhelming response to his book Blue Goat, Creeden created a company, Blue Goat Life, to help engage and connect people that want to be a part of a global community of like-minded people. Court has spoken to CEOs, parenting groups, high school students, college students, and professionals of all ages. Through his speaking and one on one coaching, Court helps each person uncover the core of who they truly are. Embracing each person's unique gifts, talents, and passions and creating a strategy to thrive in the moments that make up their lives. In my interview with Court, we learn about the financial struggle that so many new parents go through...the ones nobody tells you about in all of the parenting classes. In sitting down with his clients, Court realized that there was a much bigger need than just getting them on the path to financial freedom...the need to live the Blue Goat Life! Why is everyone trying to keep up with the Jones's? Why is everyone just following the lead of someone else? Great question!

This week I got on the mic with Kevin Giriunas, the founder of Advent Coworking in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood of Charlotte. I didn’t plan it this way, but this interview couldn’t have been a more perfect follow up to the episode with Court Creeden. Kevin spent the bulk of his life chasing a version of success that wasn’t his own, earning a Master’s Degree in structural engineering and working as an IT project manager for four years. On paper, Kevin was living the life of his dreams. But, like so many others, he wasn’t fulfilled. Instead of sticking it out and hoping for the best, Kevin decided to walk away from the career he built to do something that mattered to him. Kevin and his team have created an empowering community by blending art, technology, creativity, and positive energy to change the world for the better.

This week I had a candid conversation with Court Creeden, the founder of Parent Financial and the author of the hot new personal development book, Blue Goat. I like to dig deep into the story with people and Court didn’t hesitate to go there with me. Do you feel like there’s more to life? Do you feel like you’re destined to do more than just live for the weekends? Are you ready to make a difference by living your truth? If any of this applies to you, then Court Creeden is the Red Pill that’s going to wake you up. You can listen to this episode above.

They're the people that are sitting on the sidelines that, no matter what, they're going to find fault with something because all too often they're the ones who aren't happy themselves. So, they're constantly looking for other things going on in the world around them. They never want to look in the mirror they only want to look at the screen. On living your truth: And we're worried about what people are going to think or assume or judge about us because of who we are and what we do. And, if we can say "I don't care at all about how other people think about me, as long as I'm making decisions that are honest, genuine, and because they're in line with the life I want to live, that's living your truth." On appreciating what we have: They have it all. They've got the house, they've got the car, they've got the job. They have all the clothes. They have a refrigerator full of food. They have everything you could ever possibly need or want, and yet they're still thinking and worrying and concerned and consumed with what they still don't have. And, we go through life year after year after year after year always worrying about what we don't have, and never actually enjoying what we have.. On living every day like it's your last: If I die today, am I doing exactly what I want? And, I truly...I mean it when I say it, if I die today, I'll be the happiest guy you ever met. Because I live every day to make sure that whenever my last day comes I'm exactly where I want to be. And, if I'm not in that place today, then I'm going to change everything. On the magic of being yourself: That's the magic of being yourself and not being afraid to step out of the herd and being that Blue Goat and saying "no, I'm going to create, I'm going to do, I'm going to be myself. I'm going to be unedited. I'm going to go share whatever it is I've been given that are my gifts, and I'm going to put them out there in the world. And, if we all do that, I think there's going to be so much more creativity, there's going to be so much more beauty, there's going to be so much more love, so much more energy, than us all doing stuff we hate, things we don't like, and dealing with the crap of a life that we're just stuck living. If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten: We're constantly just doing the same things, day after day after day, and yet we're expecting something different or great or amazing to happen. It just doesn't work out that way. You can find Court Creeden on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, www.bluegoatlife.com & www.parent-financial.com You can reach out to Court Creeden HERE.

Talking about money and our purpose can be a little bit uncomfortable for some of us. There's a whole lot more to understand about finances and life than balancing a checkbook, getting that corporate job, and following the herd. But breaking from that mold can be an intimidating proposition. Our guest Court Creeden has a new perspective — and a new book — about making the leap from just living to living up to our potential.
