It's been a while. I catch you up on what's happened since the last episode in May, including a few celebrations and a big lesson you can apply to your life. 

I also announce the launch of the Find More Balance Network! It's a private membership community for growth-minded professionals who are ready to go after meaningful goals, live a healthier lifestyle, find inspiration to sustain progress, or simply interested in connecting with like-minded folks who are on their own health & wellbeing journeys. 

The network kickoff event is on September 16th at 11am ET. It's a live session focused on what to know about taking a mental health leave from work. I explain more in this episode.

If you're serious about growth, let's get to work. Visit fmbnetwork.com.

Sometimes the path of least resistance is the best path to follow.

Rich reflects on what he's learned from focusing on one thing at a time, including the idea that things don't need to be difficult to be meaningful.

Some reflection on my birthday weekend before I chat with Jordan Grumet, long time friend of the show from the personal finance community, host of the Earn and Invest podcast, and author of Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor's Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life.

Toastmasters - Giving a talk at 730am PT on April 12th at the weekly Toastmasters meeting I attend. I haven’t spoken about it much, but it’s helped me become a better speaker and podcast host. At this meeting, I’ll be talking about how to start a podcast. So visit tmws.co/toastmaster to register for the session and see an example of Toastmasters in action. 

On today’s episode from the unreleased archives, I’m chatting with the author of Indistractable - how to control your attention and choose your life, Nir Eyal.

If you struggle with distraction, this episode is for you! We also cover how behavior changes facilitates identity change and a lot more.

In this episode, I talk about reaching a critical milestone in my trauma healing journey, some lessons learned, and a storybook ending to a season of my life. If you're new, I encourage you to go back to the bonus episode released  in Feb 2022 for context to what I'm talking about. There are other solo episodes along the way where I fill in gaps about the path to healing.  If you've been around, this is probably the episode you've been waiting for. This one is the conclusion to vol. 1 of my story. And it really does have a storybook ending. Lastly, I'm back for the long haul. Those gaps you see between episodes will be no more. That'll make more sense when you listen. Holler at me on IG or Twitter @richrunstrack for thoughts and questions.
