I am a man that thrives on consistency. Kim, on the other hand, loves variety and spontaneity. The truth is, you need both to live life to the fullest. Change without consistency leads to insecurity. Consistency without diversity invites you to forget what you are living for. You need to inject some level of conscious joy and passion into your life, letting variety assault your senses and wake you up to the present moment. Then, you can focus on what truly matters in life and build the routine that works for you.

What do you want? It’s not as easy as you’d think to answer the question. I talk a lot about the importance of clarity. I hit that point even harder, here. I used to feel guilty for wanting to move to Italy when I spent so long dreaming of and working hard to move to California. The truth is, I was always just getting clearer and clearer on what my vision actually was. Once you find that vision, not of a vacation or a one-off event, but of what your life looks like on, say, a future random Tuesday — you’re able to picture it clearly and you’ll be amazed at how fast things start coming together.  In This Conversation We Cover:  [03:24] Why my podcast with Tiffany Carter is blowing up [12:14] My vision of living in Italy [16:21] How clarity of your vision accelerates action  [20:53] Creating a vision for your life based on the why  [25:25] Why it’s okay to change your mind  [31:19] Finding the thing you’ve always been drawn to  Resources: ProjectME with Tiffany Carter: Money, Luxury Lifestyle, and Major Su

Kyle Cease was a comedian at the peak of his career. He loved doing what he was doing… until he didn’t. He had aspirations of being one of the best, winning awards, and being booked at the best clubs around the world. But once he had achieved all of that, he still felt something was missing.  He went on a journey of self-discovery and decided to do something completely different. He talks about what it feels like to get what you thought you wanted, only to realize that something else is calling you, what that calling was for him, and how it’s always okay to reinvent yourself.

I am taking a course by Garrett White called, The Warrior’s Way. A portion of it that was especially moving for me discussed the four stages of money.

Making your dream move isn’t always dreaming. I’m a man of habit, and when you’re talking about a big move there’s inevitably going to be a lot of change. That change is ultimately good, but in the moment it can be a struggle to work through. We talk through the mindset of moving to a different country, the anxiety that it brings, and how we are balancing each other out in order to make the move as successful as possible. In This Conversation We Cover:  [04:44] The two things every big move brings [09:58] Protecting your habits [17:18] Thinking about the changes in your life [23:57] Understanding the mindset that goes into moving Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: workhardplayhardpodcast.com Work Hard

Before spending four months in Europe, we happened to catch a television show about people with an Italian heritage who have decided to move back to Italy. Later, at one of my mastermind events in Florence, I ran into someone who connected me to his attorney — the exact attorney who helped people move to Italy in that TV special. That attorney is Michele Capecchi, and he is now my attorney and is helping us move to Italy. In this interview, Michele walks us through how you can make the move yourself. Whether you decide to move to Italy or not, you’re going to find value in this conversation as we dive into why people make this decision.

Let’s talk about manifestation again because so many people are getting it wrong. It takes so much more than knowing what you want and chanting it to yourself in the mirror: to manifest your dream life you have to start living in the feeling of that life, and that will give you the drive you need to take action towards living it. In This Conversation We Cover:  [02:33] Having the mindset of “Everything is working out for me” [05:44] Making the decision you want clearer [10:20] Focusing on the why instead of the how [13:22] What most people get wrong about manifestation Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/ Connect with Rob on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robmurgatroyd/ Connect with Kim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmurgatroyd/ To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: workhardplayhardpodcast.com Work Hard Play Hard is a production of Crate Media

What do Italy, cheese, and YouTube have in common? They’re all a part of the dream life that Katie Quinn built for herself. Starting as an escort on Saturday Night Live — and no, not that kind of escort — Katie wound up in the green room of The Today Show, writing several books, and hosting a podcast and YouTube channel. Katie is truly living her dream life.  But how did she get here? When Katie realized she wasn’t excited by the so-called glamorous life of living in New York, she took a leap of faith. She followed her passions, which led her to Paris, England, Italy, and eventually Le Cordon Bleu — where she decided that you don’t have to be a trained chef to be passionate about making and eating mind-blowing food. Now she’s sharing that passion with the world, letting her quirky self shine and light up every space she steps into. In This Conversation, We Cover:  [04:59] What it was like working on SNL [08:34] Becoming a food blogger, moving to Paris and England, and breaking out of your comfort zone [18:47

We’ve made the decision to move to Italy. We’re not sure when, but the decision has been made. When we moved from Atlanta to California we became different people who live different lives. And we started to think about how our lives would be different when we move to Italy. Wherever you are in life, your dreams will always be changing — and that’s okay. We talk about the thought process behind the move, why we don’t regret living in California, and how we’re laying the groundwork for our future. In This Conversation We Cover:  [02:01] Making the decision to move to Italy [04:08] How we are different people in different places [09:42] Finding the difference between two places you love [14:11] Getting lost in work versus living your life [21:03] Being a global citizen [24:34] How the environment you’re in dictates how you behave [30:25] Looking at your life differently Resources: Text "Dream Life" to 310- 388-9724 to get our FREE dream life course Mastermind: https://workhardplayhardpodcast.com/mastermind/

I’ve discussed Transcendental Meditation before, but now Kim is on board, and the life-changing effects have only gotten better. She describes her experience learning the process, why she didn’t buy my explanation of it — and why she understands now that it’s impossible to truly describe — and how it has affected her life, our lives as a couple, and the way we look at the world.

Chip Conley was one of the original pioneers of the boutique hotel revolution. He created and sold the hotel chain Joie de Vivre — which started with the purchase of one run-down hotel and grew to 52 boutique hotels under him as CEO — and was so successful that he went on to advise Airbnb on how to do hospitality right, and he’s credited with being largely responsible for the huge growth Airbnb has seen over the past several years.

So many people are trying to force themselves to merge their purpose and their business. The problem is that what you want to do with your life is rarely something that people are going to be willing to pay you for.
