Troy Farkas listened to his first podcast when he was a depressed 21-year-old. Exhausted, lonely, and purposeless while working at ESPN in Bristol, Conn., Troy dreamt of the days he could create his own blogs, books, and podcasts while traveling the world.

Now, seven years after he first stepped through the doors at ESPN, Troy feels he's finally ready to create something of real meaning, something that will fulfill his dream of bringing people together via his creations. That something? The "Seacoast Stories" podcast.

I recorded the first episode of this podcast from the confines of my roommate's closet in our home in Connecticut in September 2020. And now, three and-a-half years later, we've made it to the big stage. From the prestigious Music Hall Lounge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, it's the first LIVE edition of "The Found Generation" podcast (!!!!!!). And in this very special episode, I'm joined by three very special people from my beloved Seacoast community: Stephanie Paolini is the proud owner of 3 Bridges Yoga in Portsmouth. In our conversation, we dive into her CRAZY backstory, which involves getting robbed at gunpoint, a tough battle with cancer, and much, much more. Despite this madness, she is perhaps the kindest human being on the planet, and Stephanie is someone I have immense respect for. Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville-based musician whose music evokes the likes of James Taylor, Robbins has gained recognition from extensive touring and from his 2018 appearance on The Voice. In our conversation, we discuss his decision to leave the Seacoast for Nashville, the state of the music industry, and more. He also tries to get me canceled. Jennifer Desrosiers is the CEO/Founder of Altitude Companies, as well as beloved Seacoast staples LANEY & LU, Ginger Fox Baking, and PALETTE. After spending 20 years climbing the ranks of soul-sucking corporate America, Desrosiers left that world behind in 2012 so she could pursue the "integrated lifestyle" she craved for herself. In our conversation, she gives advice to anyone who wants to take the leap, and we also talk about managing ambition, the keys to being a great leader, and what she hopes her legacy will be.

Today, on Karl and Crew Mornings, we kicked off a new weekly theme called Every Age and Stage. We discussed the importance of having wise counsel, especially from older generations. When navigating one's 20's and 30s, its important to have the 3 c's: character, conduct, and curiosity. Our Scripture references were 1 Timothy 4:12 and 2 Timothy 2:22. In these passages, Paul was investing in young Timothy, encouraging him to strive for godly character and conduct. Karl brought us a word from MBI's Chief Operating Officer, Mark Wagner, about the importance of staying curious as an adult. Finally, our guest this morning was Paul Angone. Paul is a speaker, consultant, and author of the book 101 Secrets for Your Twenties. Check out his blog, All Grown Up, and listen to highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone! In this week's episode, our host welcomes back the awesome Jessica Smith. Allie did a Book Club series about Jessica's Book "Your Twenties" and now the author herself is sharing her words of wisdom! She writes about the human experience & she views life as one big experiment. Jessica sees each day as an opportunity to test the hypothesis of our own life journey. In life, she believes the main ingredient we need to cultivate is a connection to our -NESS and embodying that we're not here to figure out what to do but who we are. This journey of experimentation isn't for the faint of heart, but to begin all you need is a willing-NESS and an open mind. Jessica is currently writing book #2! Encouragement is welcomed! Episode Topics How do we develop our self-esteem? How can we increase our self-esteem in our daily routines? Why do women struggle so much with their confidence and self-esteem?

Unlike most people, I thrive with change. My comfort zone IS change. And on today's episode, I tell you about five recent changes I've made (or changes life has made for me) and why it's led me to feel a level of contentment I haven't felt in quite a long time. Here's what I discuss: How my type 1 diabetes diagnosis has allowed me to physically feel better than I have in years (5:40) A recent change to my exercise routine that's made me feel more confident in myself than I ever have before (9:40) Why becoming a published author has finally given me the purpose I've been searching for (14:10) How emotionally detaching from my job at Spotify has led me to lean into the things I really love doing (20:20) My first girlfriend in my adult life and why I'm so excited (and nervous) about it (25:11) Plus, I answer a question about how to choose where to live when you feel it's time to make a location change (28:15).

When I moved back to Portsmouth, NH this summer, my first order of business (after hitting the beach) was to find a gym. A quick Google search told me that a gym nearby offered a 7-day free trial, so I decided I'd go and give it a shot (0:00). That gym? Seacoast Kettlebell: A hugely popular gym in seacoast NH with a cult-like following. Voted by Men's Health as one of the top 50 gyms in the United States, SKB provides high-quality workouts with high-quality equipment and most importantly, high-quality coaches. Two of those coaches, SKB founder Colin McGarty and head coach Luke Dinwoodie, join me from their Dover, NH location to chat about the following: Why McGarty founded the gym 14 years ago (2:55) How SKB helped Dinwoodie get sober (10:20) Why kettlebells provide an insanely good -- yet very underutilized -- form of working out (14:00) The ideal workout schedule for anyone who wants to get more fit (15:30) Advice for aspiring business owners (24:13) Why SKB's clients stuck with the gym during the COVID-19 pandemic and what the guys attribute that to (28:30) And so much more!

Artificial intelligence is the buzz term of 2023. You can't scroll social media or read The New York Times without coming across it. With that said, the average person -- especially the older generation -- has a lot of misconceptions about what AI truly is and what its true impact will be on the world now and in the future. So to provide some clarity on this seemingly existential crisis, I've enlisted the help of Google researcher, former Apple intern, Harvard PhD student, and my friend Colby Banbury. From his home in Somerville, MA, Colby and I discuss the following on today's episode (0:00): The benefits of incorporating AI into our everyday lives (9:10) Whether there's any truth to the notion that the robots will take over the world (23:19) What could happen if the power of AI ends up in the wrong hands (27:04) How AI can both help and harm our own self-development, relationships, and sex (30:00) Whether advanced technology like AI is a net positive or net negative for the human race (53:17) And much more.

So on today's episode, I outline the following five strategies which have helped me completely remove anger from my life since my departure from ESPN led me to feel the most anger I've ever felt in my life: Control what you can control (4:57) Raise your standards, lower your expectations (8:56) Practice non-attachment (13:21) Maintain perspective (18:52) Make room for gratitude daily (21:12) Plus, I answer a listener question about how to make better financial decisions (26:20).

Up until last weekend, I hadn't been feeling like myself for quite some time. I dropped 20 lbs. in three weeks and lacked energy, motivation, and my typical enthusiasm for life. I assumed the feeling was related to depression or an eating disorder, but I was wrong. On the very same day I released my first book, the doctors rushed me to the emergency room. On today's episode, I take you into my 48 hours inside the emergency room and why I'm so grateful for my experience there. Then, I talk about the importance of BIG dreams and how UFC superstar Sean O'Malley uses them to his advantage (12:17). After that, I take a listener question about how to become a minimalist (19:47). IMPORTANT QUOTES: "I'm a white man in the United States of America. I am in the upper 0.01 percent of the world. What do I have to feel sorry about? What do I have to complain about?" "I'm going to turn this opportunity on its head. The obstacle is the way."

Soundtrack Of Your Twenties has gone LIVE! and I'm taking my tiny mic to the show. I got the chance to speak with Abby Holliday after her show at The Grog Shop in Cleveland, Ohio. She is currently supporting Michigander on the It Will Never Be The Same Tour. If Abby Holliday isn't already on your radar, she should be now. We got to talk to her just after her release of her second album, 'IM OKAY NO IM NOT'. I think her music is best described as if Phoebe Bridgers left you a voicemail, it's moody, heartfelt, and you'll want to replay it multiple times. In this interview we discussed her new album, tour so far, and two of my personal favorite songs, "Ohio Laundry Room" and "Noise".

Episode Summary:  Every TV show, YouTube channel, podcast, social media platform, News broadcast, social media influencer—all strategically want one thing: your attention. In today's world of endless hurry and distraction, we have difficulty focusing on what's important, and spend most of our days seeing and hearing without truly paying attention. Our lives are full of meaning—yet we miss the giant revelations, ideas, and truths right in front of us because we weren't actually looking for them. We must fight to pay attention period to the right things period to things of worth and meaning period to changing the way we see our day so that we can truly see it for the gift it is. Paul Angone and I talk about living purposefully in a busy chaotic world that's clamoring for our attention.   Quotables from the episode: In today's world of endless hurry and distraction, we have difficulty focusing on what's important, and spend most of our days seeing and hearing without truly paying attention.  Our lives are full of meaning—yet we miss the giant revelations, ideas, and truths right in front of us because we weren't actually looking for them. We must fight to pay attention period to the right things period to things of worth and meaning period to changing the way we see our day so that we can truly see it for the gift it is. To intentionally pay attention: turn off notifications, push past the boredom and awkwardness, set limits and be disciplined, ask yourself WHY you are giving your attention to whatever is distracting you. All love starts with paying proper attention to someone. Networking is really relationship-ing—building relationship with others. Attention is a currency that we pay to others.   Recommended Resources:  Listen to Your Day: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention by Paul Angone 101 Secrets for Your 20's by Paul Angone 101 Questions You Need to Ask in Your Twenties by Paul Angone  25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing by Paul Angone  Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

It's easy to miss something you're not looking for. Psychologists call this inattentional blindness: the failure to notice something right in front of you because other attention-demanding tasks are at hand. This week, my guest is Paul Angone, author of Listen to Your Day: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention. Paul argues that inattentional blindness sums up the day-to-day of most of our lives. We're missing important things, including revelations, ideas, and truths, that are walking right in front of us because we aren't actually looking for them.   Guest Bio Paul Angone is one of the most trusted and sought-after voices in the nation to college students, young professionals, and those going through career change.

I'm turning 30 next month and I've been unsure how I've felt about that. I've had countless conversations with guests that shared with me how silly it was to think they needed to “make something of themselves” by 30. Yet here I am, wondering if I've done enough to really make my 20-year-old self proud how I've spent the last decade.That 20-year-old Justin had high expectations about where he was going to be at 30. I've learned over the last decade that you can set your sights on something but life has a whole lot of serendipity. And I don't know, that's kind of the fun of it right? I mean, at 20, I would have never predicted podcasting would be such a significant aspect of my life.So here's to me for letting go of any expectations, being proud of everything I have accomplished, and excited for what's to come in this new decade.I'm done with my poetic monologue but it does set up my conversation with my friend, Paul Angone.Paul spent most of his 20s thinking he was a failure. Working at dead-end jobs to support his real dream of becoming a best-selling author, Paul grinded and hustled any moment he had - lunch breaks, late evenings, weekends - with the hope of creating something that sparked a fire.Sure enough, it eventually happened (although much longer than expected) and Paul has gone on to author best-selling books including 101 Secrets for Your Twenties, 101 Questions You Need to Ask in Your Twenties, and 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing. His newest book, Listen to Your Day: The Life Changing Practice of Paying Attention, is out today and I recommend picking it up.Paul has spent so much time researching and understanding the unique struggles of being in your 20s. We get into a whole lot of conversation about these struggles including finding your purpose, feeling like a failure, and when to make sacrifices vs when to move on. You're really going to like this one.100 reviews before our 100th episode (consider it an early birthday present).

Are you feeling trapped by the infinite scroll of distractions? According to today's returning guest, Paul Angone, we have all become cultural escape artists, what he dubs the “Refresh Generation.” Paul writes, “We are constantly getting a hit from our phone for the latest update. The iPhone is our cigarette, and too many of us are chain-smoking our phones." It's time to get off the dizzying carousel of phone addiction, and relearn how to listen to ourselves and our day for aha moments instead. Paul believes that “the most successful and fulfilled people on this Earth are simply better at paying attention to what's important.” More About Paul: Paul Angone is one of the most trusted and sought-after voices in the nation to college students, young professionals, and those going through career change. Paul is the bestselling author of 101 Secrets for Your Twenties, 101 Questions You Need to Ask in Your Twenties, 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing, and today we're talking about his new book, Listen to Your Day: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention.

He was previously on the show in April 2018, episode 92: Adulting to Win: Powerful Questions and Pivotal Plot Points.

We're living at a time in which our capacity attention may be our most valuable asset. If this is true, than our great liability is distraction, and the ways in which we are training ourselves in distraction. Paying attention to the purpose of our lives, and to where God may be inviting us to give of our energy and time is a beautiful opportunity.The world around us is happy to provide us with lots of attractive options for surrendering our attention to mostly meaningless amusements. But God's purpose for you is gentler, quieter, less flashy and more substantial. God's Spirit would love to train you how to pay attention to his presence in your every moment. My guest today, Paul Angone, has written a book to help us with all this, Listen to Your Day. He wants to help us stop drifting, stop worrying, and stop living distracted. I'm looking forward to sharing our recent conversation with you in a minute. Paul Angone is a trusted and sought-after voice to college students, young professionals, and those going through career change.

This episode is for anyone listening from their childhood bedroom. We discuss the unexpected change that is bound to happen in our lives, the growth that comes from pursuing through it, and the gratitude we gain after. We interviewed The Brazen Youth on their new album Eagle, Idaho and discuss their writing process for this album, the inspiration behind some of their songs, and why the album is named after Eagle, Idaho. Our conversation (and their song Hometown) leads us discuss, moving back to your hometown. Something that happens often and is not nearly as romanticized as moving to a west coast city.  We added more stories to these lyrics with Dr. Tammy Kernodle, a distinguished professor at Miami University who specializes in African American Music and gender music studies. She shares stories from her own experience navigating life after collage and emphasizes the importance of CREATING the life you want even if it wasn't exactly what you planned. So whether you're tackling your next great adventure from your childhood bedroom or in a new city, this episode has taught me that a lot of joy in life comes from accepting where you are and moving forward from there.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Jeff Johnson. Jeff is a wealth adviser with Buckingham Strategic Wealth and the author of One Decade to Make Millions, A Strategy to Maximize the Power of Your Twenties. When I heard the title of the book, I knew I had to talk to Jeff to learn what he was teaching people in their youth to do to retire wealthy, but I also was interested in what people who maybe didn't get off to as a good of a start in their early years building wealth, can do now to make a difference in their years to come. Needless to say, Jeff's practical advice and easy to understand actions can help anyone looking to improve their wealth make a difference for themselves. And I've asked him on to share all that he can to help you do so. www.JeffCJohnson.com Book: One Decade to Make Millions Jeff has been on the financial services world for over 40 years. He has learned from the clients he worked with over the past 4 decades and noticed traits of those that were most successful. Much of this is what he wrote about in his book. One of the biggest things they did was maximize their 20's. Jeff became passionate about helping young people when he taught a personal finance class Nebraska. Share the story about the bookkeeper and the surgeon… It's a true story. The bookkeeper was a client who started saving with Jeff in 1983. They didn't make a lot of money but were thrifty. The bookkeeper retired with significant wealth in his early 60's. The surgeon came to Jeff about the time he was ready to retire. The surgeon had some money saved, but not nearly enough. He was making a million dollars a year but spent most of it and didn't or set themselves up to succeed in wealth. Why do you think we don't teach financial education and wealth building in our school system? I don't know, but it is something that should be taught at home. The bookkeeper's children were good with money and the surgeon's were not good with money – teaching your children at home is critical to their financial success. What is someone's 20s so critical to financial success? It allows for the miracle of compounding to occur. 30-40 year of compounding is such a huge advantage over even 20 years of compounding. Compounding doesn't just pertain to monetary growth, but effort and productivity. If you work very hard and set aside money to compound and continue to add to it in you 20's, it almost becomes like snowball rolling down a hill gaining momentum. The story of the doctor and the nurse. The story shares how clients of Jeff's that were identical twins did in their wealth. One became a nurse and saved diligently in their 20's til about 30 and then let it compound until they were 70. The other went to medical school and became a doctor and stopped saving early one, but then started saving from age 30 to age 70. So, the nurse saved only for 10 years, from age 20 to 30 and the doctor saved from 30-40. Guess who had the most money? The nurse did because they got started so much earlier. Now imagine if you started saving in your 20's and continued to your 60's/70's. 5 steps to take control of your financial future? They are called the 5 Financial Foundations. They are the 5 keys to successful wealth building from working with the wealthy. 1: They always save money. Even when they were young. 2: They always have and keep a cash reserve. 3: Almost all working people have their biggest pool of money in some sort of retirement plan. 4: They own the right size home. They live comfortably, but not extravagantly. 5: They do not have bad debt. They borrow on things that can increase in value like homes or businesses. You say, “money is not important.” Explain that…. Money itself is not important. Just keep track of money doesn't bring happiness. Money is important because it allows you to do the things you want to do and provide a better life. So, it's not the money. It's what it allows you to do that matters. That is where the value is. There are people that are very wealthy, but not happy. Actions people can take right now to start putting these principles into practice? Get started. Save some amount of money. Anything to get going and learning how to accumulate money. Next, become familiar with what your investment decisions are. Read books by John Bogle and others. Self-educate. Once you have $10-20k saved, you can then really start making it work. Even something like the compounding power of dollar-cost averaging over time can make the difference. If you are starting later in life in life, you have to do things differently. You may have cut down on a lifestyle to get out of debt or downsize so you can save money. Let's talk more about people later in life. Say someone is “late to the party in their 30's and 40's,” what can they do to make a difference? Go through everything you spend on. Get a very good idea of what your real bills and expenses are. Cut out the fat. Use the money you were spending on the fat and start putting that toward paying down debt to get rid of it. You will have to cut back and change your lifestyle. The challenge is people will notice, so if you really care what other people think – it will be tough for you. At the 33 min mark, we have a great discussion about “expanding your means.” Anything else that you think is important? Get intentional about your life and what you want – forget about what other people think and it will be much easier to save and grow wealth. Lessons from your entrepreneur journey? Jeff was a stockbroker for 20 years and then started his own financial services firm. He ended up merging his firm with the firm he is in now. He made a lot of mistakes, but he took the time to learn from them and figuring out what worked and what didn't. He was intentional about what he wanted and how he would do it. He loves his work and that fueled him to work harder at it and get better. Have a business plan as an outline and a basis for what you want to do – but it won't work out as planned.   Best Quote: Money itself is not important. It allows you to do the things you want to do and provide a better life. So, it's not the money. It's what it allows you to do that matters. That is where the value is.   Jeff's Misfit 3: Be intentional. Have a specific plan and know what is important to you. Once you know what it is you want and why – get started as soon as possible. Execution is more important than creating the plan. Have fun but live in a state of gratitude. Gratitude squeezes out all the other bad emotions.   Show Sponsors Shopify: Get a 14-day FREE trial at www.Shopify.com/misfit Check out Goldming Inc as a potential Gold investment play.
