41. What is Life Entrepreneurship?
Thursday Dec 03, 2020
Thursday Dec 03, 2020
"Some people don't just live: they lead a life. They don't sit around waiting for a lucky break. They create opportunities. They go after their dreams and bring them to life…. They develop a vision of the good life, devise a plan for how to attain it, go for it, and check their progress along the way. As with any great effort, their work is never done but ever-evolving and, often, inspiring to those around them. Welcome to the territory of life entrepreneurs." —Life Entrepreneurs, Ch. 1
Life entrepreneurs are ordinary people who integrate their life, work, and purpose through distinctively entrepreneurial behavior and, in so doing, create extraordinary lives of significance. Today we discuss this concept and challenge you to think about how you can incorporate some of its powerful principles into your own life.

Wednesday Dec 02, 2020
The conversation around video games has changed a lot since we first started playing them back in the day on Super Nintendo. Parents used to see them as a waste of time, but now games are being developed to improve cognitive skills—and one game was just approved as a medical therapy to treat learning disabilities in kids. Today we discuss the incredible potential benefits that video games can have when designed to improve the human experience.
