It's not every day that you have a chance to contemplate your mortality in a manner that's as eye-opening as it is empowering. When Mike sat down with Jodi Wellman, creator of 4000 Mondays, the conversation naturally gravitated toward the concept of temporal scarcity - a stark reminder of how precious our time truly is. Jodi's philosophy centers around the transformative power of Mondays, the day we often dread, turning it into a potent symbol of the time we have left. She opened up about her journey from a secure corporate job to the unpredictable realm of keynote speaking and coaching, a testament to her belief in seizing life by the horns.Jodi Wellman created a company called Four Thousand Mondays after 10 years coaching executives and 17 years in Corporate America. It's designed around the fact that if we're lucky, we get about 4,000 Mondays in our lives. Jodi always wanted to be an entrepreneur but ignored the pull she felt since childhood and went after the paychecks and being responsible. Finally, she gave herself permission and allowed herself to shake things up, take a risk, and be okay with not following a linear path. In the last two years, she has said yes to opportunities, learned, failed, brushed herself off, and kept on going. Her TEDx talk from 2022 is on this topic and it's the 14th most-watched TEDx talk from 2022. In this episode of the How’d It Happen Podcast, Mike and Jodi didn't shy away from the hard stuff. The conversation got candid about the psychology behind our avoidance of contemplating our mortality, the 'free fantasy' we often indulge in, and the common fears of rejection and failure. They challenged some deeply ingrained notions, pushing the boundaries of our comfort zones. Jodi's story is a beacon of inspiration, showing us that the fulfillment we seek often lies just beyond the risks we dare to take. Buckle up for this enlightening exchange, and let's start heading towards a regret-free existence, one Monday at a time.Key highlights:Embracing the Limited Time We HaveActivation for Achieving Dreams The Psychology of Fear and Epiphany Embracing Mortality to Seize Opportunities The Different Types of Regret and How to Avoid Regrets of OmissionThe Risks and Rewards of Entrepreneurship Episode resources:Watch Jodi’s TEDx Talk: How Death Can Bring You Back to LifeTake Jodi’s short quiz to estimate how many Mondays you have left: fourthousandmondays.com/resourcesConnect with Jodi Wellman:Website: fourthousandmondays.comLinkedIn: Jodi WellmanTo Connect with Mike: Website LinkedIn Instagram Twitter YouTube Coaching Get Mike’s book: Owner Shift Please LIKE 👍SHARE 📲SUBSCRIBE to stay updated on all LIVE Streams on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter
