FI Minded: Bridging Pre FI Discipline and Post FI Freedom in Financial Independence Develop Crystal Clear Intentionality | E74 Brian Bogert
The amazing Brian Bogert is joining me on the podcast today.
At 7 years old, his life transformed in a blink of an eye after he was in a vehicle accident that his left arm was detached. Instead of dwelling in the suffering, he fully recovered with a reattached arm thanks to his persistent and proactive focus.
Today, Brian is a lot of things: entrepreneur, coach, speaker, business strategist, author, and philanthropist. But he would say his two most important titles are husband and father.
It took chasing traditional success for him to realize this though. At 27, Brian had it all on paper after he helped grow a risk management firm from $250,000 to over $15,000,000.
He had an abundance of money, a nice house, and a cool car but after being absent from the first 6 months of his baby’s life, he put an end to chasing traditional success. He stopped the era of “what” to begin the era of “who.” The people in his life now became his focus.
You’ll have many takeaways from this episode including understanding the critical questions in your life, how to focus less on what and more on who, and how to embrace pain to avoid suffering.
We also get into a really interesting discussion about anger near the end of the conversation.
Key Takeaways:
- Be where your feet are. Developing awareness and intentionality.
- Giving feedback and hearing their questions
- Brian’s life transforming truck accident and how that shaped him moving forward
