Rob Dubin - How to Live a Happy and Balanced Life The Legendary Leaders Podcast

How happy and fulfilled are you with your life? Are you living out your purpose, do you have a life balance? Living a truly happy life is much more than being happy at work, it is the ability to live in the present moment without the distracting thoughts of your past or future.
In this Episode of the Legendary Leaders Podcast, we have Rob Dubin, motivational speaker, and keynote speaker. He was a successful filmmaker with a dream career, but retired after 20 years, bought a sailboat, and spent the next 17 years sailing around the world. Rob’s insights on creating a fulfilling career and having a rich life, transform audiences. He explains how he and his wife figured out the secret to living a happy and fulfilling life.
Listen in to learn about the framework on how to figure out and prioritize your dreams that are not necessarily about work dreams without fear. You will also learn how being grateful, living in the moment, and contributing to others can add to your happiness.
