90: Moving from a permission mindset to a freedom mindset with Kylon Gienger

For this week's episode I wanted to share an interviewed I
did on Stephen Warley's Life Skills That Matter podcast.


This was part of an "interview swap" that Stephen and I
did, and you can find his interview on Successful Dropout
here. 


Stephen is an absolute boss and is doing some incredible
things to push this new paradigm of work we are entering
into as a society. I had a blast on his show and  we
discussed a lot of things including:


Rethinking the American Dream.


Calculating the cost of your ideal
lifestyle.

Moving from a permission mindset to
a freedom mindset.

What I learned from trying so many
different career paths.

I explains the concept
of self-credentialing.



Some inspirational quotes to remember:


“My goals are all, they’re all set with the primary focus
being, like, how do I want to spend my time and who do I
want to spend my time with and the money, I believe, sort
of comes as a result of that.”


“You stick to doing what you love and building what you
love, as long as it’s working, you know, I think it’ll pay
off.”


“I’ve never wanted to do something just because I’m
supposed to do it.”


Some coaching advice:


I recommended these actions to start breaking out of your
comfort zone to try new and different things:


1)  Don’t get hung up on finding the one
right thing, pick one and just get started.


2) Switch, pivot, or quit if the
first thing you do doesn’t work or you need to do other
things as well.


3) Action begets more action, so
don’t wait for the inspiration to strike to get started.
