What we're here to talk about, today, is what happened after all of that.

Even if we're all striving to look and feel young, physically, we shouldn't lose sight of the importance of also feeling young in spirit. As people get older, they tend to get set in their ways and resistant to change in any way.

When you hear the word “athlete,” you think of professional sports, or maybe your high school glory days. But, feats of mental athletics can be just as impressive. My guest today, Nelson Dellis, a world champion Grandmaster of Memory, is going to blow your mind. Yes, that's a real thing! He teaches us that, like any muscle, your memory can be trained.

My coach asked me a question that completely flipped the script for me the other day. He said: “Where do you think the source of your results come from?” The truth was, I had been going down a rabbit hole thinking of what I didn't, and don't, have. But when I thought about my answer to his question… Everything I've ever earned, I felt really good about beforehand. The lesson, paradoxically, is that you've got to feel how you would once you achieve your goals BEFORE you're able to actually achieve them. In this episode, we share how we put ourselves into that state.

Months into our new life in Italy, it continues to be endlessly fascinating how different the Italian culture is. For example, today, we're talking about honesty. In America, we have a thing called a “white lie.” When someone asks how their butt looks in a dress, you do somersaults trying to let them down politely – or flat out say it looks great in order to make the sale or move on from the moment. In Italy, someone might say “That's no good on you” or “You have no ass.” While it can take you by surprise, we've come to really appreciate this honesty. We discuss that and more quirks of Italian culture, such as the value they place on beauty, rest, and quality of life, and how you can capture more of each in your life. In This Conversation We Cover:  [02:47] The brutal honesty of the Italian language [13:12] The heart of honesty in Italian culture [18:25] Valuing beauty and quality of life Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

As a podcast guest, Jeffrey Madoff, presented about a thousand different angles and directions to take the conversation. We begin the journey in the grocery store cereal aisle, where, as an eighth grader, he dabbled in cognitive neuroscience and the hidden brain training that goes into product merchandising. From there, we hit the neighborhood streets, where, at the ripe old age of sixteen, Jeffrey became the nation's top selling Fuller Brush sales representative.  He goes on to describe his 50-year love affair with life in New York City before we unpack the valuable lessons he learned in the film industry, world of fashion, and his fifteen-year teaching career at Parsons School of Design. Jeff, who authored “Creative Careers: Making a Living With Your Ideas” in 2020, walks us through the mindset and leadership practices that have allowed him to pursue and achieve the collective life experience of many individual people, combined. His inspiring story is a great example of when betting on yourself goes incredibly right.

Everything comes to an end. The sooner we can come to terms with that, the sooner we can get the most out of every moment of the present. In this episode, Kim and I talk about coming to terms with micro-expiration dates on shorter periods of time in our lives, the important relationships and experiences we'll never get back after they're gone – whether it be our dwindling years with Sophia in this dream apartment or how many walks are left in the family dog. This realization is part of the reason we moved to Italy, and a bigger reason why that decision has paid off so immensely.

Paul Attia is a trial lawyer, family business advisor, and an executive in his own family's enterprise. Working as a litigator for nearly fifteen years has provided him ringside seats to the results of poor decision making. In the courtroom, Paul saw the process often as a person at the bottom of a cliff, catching those who have already jumped. However, as an advisor to family businesses and enterprises, Paul works with each member to help them identify, grasp, and distill the issues at play, and works to guide them to their desired outcomes. We talk about his upbringing, his history working in his own family business, and why it's important to walk into situations assuming you haven't figured it all out.

The thing about growth is that it never stops. Just when you've hit a new level, it's time to look up and see what bigger challenges lie ahead. No matter how skilled a climber you are, each time you step into something new, the all-too-familiar fear of the unknown starts to creep into your psyche. In this episode, we talk about stepping into projects and dreams that seem too big to handle. It's always daunting, and it should be. But being able to make jumps like these is what living a big life is all about. In This Conversation We Cover:  [03:05] The fear of stepping into a new lane [06:49] The gap between your taste and skill level [13:26] Focusing on the process instead of the outcome [18:41] The vulnerability of being out in the open [20:25] How stepping into action puts you out of fear Resources: http://munchkinpublishing.com (munchkinpublishing.com) Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

Daniel Vitalis is wild. No, really. A former vegan, he's found that, for himself and many of the people he's worked with over the years, one of the best ways to lead a healthier, more fulfilling life is to “rewild” yourself and remember how to integrate with nature. After learning the skills of hunting, fishing, and foraging, Daniel teaches and inspires others to pursue their own wild-food journey and reconnect with the wisdom of nature. Beyond food, he is incredibly grounded and brings a lot of thoughtful discussions to the table. Among many other things, we talk about the skills people learn from spending time in harsh environments, what our teeth can tell us about nutrition, and getting intimate with death. In This Conversation We Cover:  [01:46] Recontextualizing the skills gained from a hard life [04:48] What being a vegan taught Daniel about the transformational power of food [10:02] How one dentist's findings radically changed how Daniel thinks about food [19:12] Rewilding and rediscovering wisdom in nature [27:35] The demasculinization of culture [37:24] Getting comfortable with hunting and killing animals [43:27] Rapid-fire questions Resources: https://www.danielvitalis.com/ (danielvitalis.com) Watch: https://www.wild-fed.com/ (WildFed) Listen: https://www.danielvitalis.com/rewild-yourself-podcast (ReWild Yourself Podcast) Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

We all have tales we like to tell about our lives, but sometimes our stories can begin to dominate conversations and get repetitive for those around us. They start to define who we are. Don't get me wrong, some stories are great. You climbed Everest? Killer. It's the negative, naggy, and pointlessly personal stories that we want to leave in the past. Holding onto them is only eating away at you, hurting your chances of moving on and living a better life. In this introspective Fri-Date episode, we make the argument for why you should leave those stories behind and start drafting a new narrative of your own making. In This Conversation We Cover:  [00:00] Learning foreign curse words [05:25] Leaving stories behind in the past year [08:56] The story of Rob learning Italian [16:49] Kim's search for the perfect yoga studio Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

What Katie Spotz has accomplished defies all logic. In fact, while researching for this interview, I had to double and triple-check my sources just to be sure. Katie is a world-class endurance athlete who has shattered world records and defied the impossible on more than one occasion. Her list of accomplishments is so long I couldn't even begin to share them all here. She's run five Ironman triathlons, cycled across the country from Seattle to Washington D.C., run 100 miles nonstop, and swam the entire length of a 325-mile river. We talk about the mindset it takes to accomplish challenges of this ilk and how important it is to have a strong why to keep you going when you're about to give up. In This Conversation We Cover:  [02:01] What an endurance athlete is [04:00] What inspired Katie to attempt cycling from Seattle to DC [08:55] Pushing through the pain [14:04] The desire to push through boundaries and see what's possible [20:44] Mentally preparing for the impossible [27:44] The injuries you expose yourself to doing endurance sports [31:00] What drew Katie to becoming a coast guard [33:18] Why Katie is passionate about access to clean water [35:48] Rapid fire questions Resources: https://www.katiespotz.com/ (katiespotz.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiespotz/ (@katiespotz) Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

OK, I'm saying it. I am judgmental. Working with a coach, I was told I needed to work on being less judgmental… and it pissed me off. That's how I know there's truth to it. It's a flaw, and it's something that I'm not proud of, but I have to be real here and share what I'm going through. In this conversation, Kim and I break down what it means to be judgmental, how it can be a good thing, where it goes wrong, and how I'm trying to get better in that department. In This Conversation We Cover:  [03:20] Being judgmental of yourself and others [07:43] The difference between curation and judgment [10:12] Figuring out the source of your judgment [15:56] Wanting others to know what they're missing out on [23:07] Working on being less judgmental Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

Now, she's sharing the secrets of her success with anyone who has to negotiate in their lives or work – which, let's be honest, is all of us.

Chris Hutchins hacks everything. Literally, everything. After his love of travel opened him up to the idea that there are an endless number of ways to get things done, he became obsessed with finding the best way to accomplish anything and everything. But does it really make sense for a Silicon Valley entrepreneur to focus on saving a few bucks on their grocery list? In this conversation, Chris dives into why he started his podcast, All the Hacks, how the definition of “optimal” changes as your life does, and where to draw the line between optimizing and just plain living.

Since moving to Italy, I have undergone a massive transformation. Longtime listeners of the show will know that we believe this to be a good thing, an immensely good one.

We're currently three months into our journey of living in Florence. We celebrated this immense milestone – as you do – by going to the local government office to update our visas and secure permission to stay.

Look, sex is an important part of life. For men, it seems that's a given. But for too long, women have been told their sexual health doesn't matter. After blazing a trail in the men's sexual health industry, Cindy Eckert decided this inequality wasn't fair. She founded Sprout Pharmaceuticals and helped design the first drug approved to enhance female libido. Surprisingly (or not), it was a massive success.

We are lab rats. We're constantly experimenting on ourselves to find the optimal way to make ourselves fitter, skinnier, healthier, happier, whatever it is we're trying to do that day. We've tried everything – including the CGM, or continuous glucose monitor, which we've come back around to. What it does is monitor your glucose levels throughout the day, particularly how your levels rise the two hours after eating something. Now that we're in Italy, we really wanted to give this thing a test run. We spend this episode digging into what we found and why it shocked us.

So many people, year after year, set goals that they don't hit. They are constantly striving for more and yet, they keep falling short. We were those people – until we weren't.

Everyone has something about themselves they'd want to change. We see it every year when people set out in droves to define resolutions, only to typically fall short a few weeks later. If so many people want to change, why are we so bad at it? Katy Milkman, author of How to Change, asked herself this question, and set out to find the answer.  A Professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Katy's research began catching the attention of people around the world because it's a topic everyone wants a definitive answer to. Lucky for us, she found it.  In this conversation, we talk about how our identity anchors us into a set of habits and behaviors, the importance of making change fun and instantly gratifying, finding the tools for change that work best for you, and making it last.

Sergey Young believes that we are on the brink of a health revolution. There are new technologies and scientific discoveries being presented every day that make it possible to reverse the effects of aging on the body and treat previously incurable diseases. It's always been thought that life extension was the domain of the rich – only those in the top 1% could afford the practices available, so how practical is it really? Sergey's aim and mission in life is to make this technology affordable and accessible to everyone, and to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live to the ripe old age of 200.

How the hell do you keep health and fitness advice straight? Everywhere you look, someone else has some silver bullet – this series of rules you have to follow – in order to reach the optimal level of fitness, but with all of the experts out there, it's hard to explain how the typical Italian diet has led to Italy being ranked tenth in terms of human lifespan.

Award-winning psychologist, author, and fellow Brooklynite, Ethan Kross, is a world-renowned expert on conscious mind management. His fascination with introspection began at The University of Pennsylvania and has evolved into a full-time mission to reveal the potent power of our inner voice.  Ethan's work is anchored by what he defines as “chatter,” AKA that negative inner voice that says that you're not worthy or capable of doing X, Y, or Z. He's here to tell you that you don't have to give in to negative self-talk, and show you the neurological roadmap to rewire the internal dialogue you're having with yourself.  In This Conversation We Cover:  [11:03] Why introspection is a double-edged sword  [18:35] Finding a balance between nature and nurture  [22:33] What is “chatter,” and how does it impact our lives [34:36] The cost of anxiety and depression for the economy  [29:10] How culture affects chatter  [34:07] The power of touch and placebo  [39:48] Why venting isn't the best thing for your health [41:55] The truth about processing childhood trauma  Resources: https://www.ethankross.com/ (Ethankross.com) Read: https://www.ethankross.com/chatter/ (Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why it Matters and How to Harness It) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ethankross/?hl=en (@ethankross) Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

As we settle into life in Florence, Italy, we've been struck by their cultural codes, built on trust, connection, and reputation. These pillars drive any personal or professional transaction in the city. Need a haircut? Have a coffee with a barber. Looking for an apartment? Lean on a friend for an introduction. Getting a package delivered? The shop next door will sign for it if you can't. The emotional investment to get to know the person, beyond a contract or credit check, seems to reflect how the community is bound by something more significant than black and white legalities. Coming from California, you can see how this has led to some beautiful and bizarre moments, which we dive into in this episode. In This Conversation We Cover:  [03:42] - The cultural differences when it comes to trust in the U.S and Italy [07:23] - Why contracts and credit checks do not matter here  [16:34] - How blind trust inspires you to show up differently  [25:08] - Your word as currency  Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

Jon Levy is the creator of The Influencers Dinner, a gathering of thought leaders and tastemakers from different industries where they are not allowed to discuss their profession or share their last name. We all hide behind our identities, but by pulling all of that back you start to get to the core of who people really are. These dinners are legendary, and they have become one of the most fascinating social experiments out there. He talks about growing up in Manhattan and how his experience influenced the kind of work he does today. In This Conversation We Cover:  [04:35] How Jon's parents informed how he views relationships [15:26] The power of connection [22:05] Launching an imperfect product [30:26] Finding connection beyond disagreement [35:57] Separating what you do from your identity Resources: https://www.jonlevytlb.com/ (jonlevytlb.com) Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/jonlevytlb/?hl=en (@jonlevytlb) Read: https://www.jonlevytlb.com/you-re-invited (You're Invited) Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

We got a review recently that we thought it would be valuable to discuss on the show. To paraphrase, it says: “I love the show, but there are too many bad words. It's unprofessional, and I think people would enjoy it more if you swore less.” Getting past the expletive-filled gut response, this does actually bring about an interesting conversation. We all say we value authenticity, but is censorship authentic? Can we value authenticity while still wanting people to change who they are for us? I don't think our answer will surprise you, but we want to give you our take on why we are the way we are – and why this podcast is better for it. In This Conversation We Cover:  [03:22] Responding to a critical review [07:37] Wanting to remain authentic [16:08] You can't have authenticity and censorship [17:02] The science of swearing [20:02] How changemakers have to embrace authenticity [26:01] When it makes sense to censor ourselves for an environment [31:23] Being able to communicate effectively Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

Dr. Dominic D'Agostino is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida and Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition. His laboratory develops and tests metabolic-based strategies for neurological disorders, cancer, and for enhancing safety and resilience of military personnel in extreme environments. His research is supported by the Office of Naval Research, Department of Defense, private organizations, and foundations. He's the genius behind so many things when it comes to keto, but there's already plenty of keto information out there. We spend some time getting to know him, and asking him all about the different wearables that are available: the Woop, Levels, Oura Ring, and more.

One of the most exciting parts of moving to Italy for us was not only living in Florence, but all of the other incredible locations that were just a train ride or a short flight away. At a restaurant in Venice, we spoke to the son of a restaurant owner and he had a Scottish accent when he spoke English. It turns out he went to school there. Why? Because “You can't be in the restaurant business and have interesting conversations with people if you don't know the world.” This episode is all over the place… except it isn't. We're going to talk about the power of having deep conversations with interesting people, allowing kismet to happen, and listening to the lessons the universe is throwing in your face.

We've been listening to Abraham Hicks lately, and there was one talk that really resonated with us – specifically surrounding our recent move. Abraham says, “You're not always consciously aware of your plan,” and that could not be more true. Looking back on our lives, you can see how you have planned for your current situation. We've talked about manifestation before, but this conversation is more about the unconscious ways you manifest your life – both positive and negative – and how taking ownership of that power allows you to control it, and bring it into alignment with your life. In This Conversation We Cover:  [03:04] How you follow an unconscious plan [08:15] When your unconscious plan comes into alignment [11:55] Changing your reality with a positive thought [18:41] Taking ownership of your manifestation [22:17] The power of getting lost in a daydream Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind) Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ (@robmurgatroyd) Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ (@kimmurgatroyd) To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/ (workhardplayhardpodcast.com) Work Hard Play Hard is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

The problem is we've been hearing from many people who are struggling to get in touch with what their dream actually is.

People need variety. Routines are great, but it's the spaces where we break free from our routine and experience something new where life is truly lived. Environment plays a major role in this because it dictates so much of how you go about your day. For us, moving to Italy has been such a pattern interrupter that it feels as if we are living every moment as it happens. You don't have to move to Italy to create the same effect; just take some time to acknowledge the contrast between the life you have and the life you imagine for yourself – and use that contrast to start inspiring action.

We've talked before about finding out how much your dream life is actually going to cost you to live (and how it's likely lower than you think), but it is still probably out of reach, and you may not know how to close the gap. We've been getting questions about how we saved up enough to live our dream life and break our money ceiling. We're going to share the strategies we used to get here. Whatever your dream life is, we believe these will apply to any situation.

As we prep our move to Italy, many people have reached out to say how jealous they are or that they are cheering us on for being vulnerable about how hard this is. Many of those people say that they could never do what we are doing because it's too scary. That has me thinking about how fear often holds us back from doing what we truly want to do. It wasn't easy for us to do this, but we have to remind ourselves every day that it could work out even better than we imagine it. You can get there too.

Creativity is an important part of playing hard, and it's my goal to expose you to many different avenues of expressing that creativity. Sekou has incredible insights. We talk about what it's like to speak in front of Oprah Winfrey, Maya Angelou, and Barack Obama at the same time, and how it feels to get nominated for a Grammy for spoken-word poetry.
