    The One Problem That Could Unlock Your Next Level | EP. 281 | Further Your Lifestyle Podcast

    Episode 281: The One Problem That Could Unlock Your Next Level (Priority Management & Balance) watch it here: https://youtu.be/kyieV46OvZE In Episode 281 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris answers a listener question about what single issue in business or life could unlock the next level if solved properly. He shares that his current challenge is priority management—creating stronger boundaries and learning to switch off from his business so he can rest, return energized, and generate new ideas. Chris explains how running and personal challenges help him separate from work, and he suggests using a simple filter—continue, delegate, or stop—to reduce what’s on your plate in both life and business. He emphasizes building an outlet or hobby for balance, taking breaks like travel to recharge, and not neglecting daily responsibilities and loved ones. From a business perspective, he notes inventory as the key lever to stay competitive as eBay Live becomes more saturated. 00:00 Welcome Back Intro 00:47 Today’s Big Question 01:53 Priority Management Struggle 02:52 Switching Off With Running 03:27 Workflow and Delegation 04:14 Rest, Travel, and Boundaries 04:50 Building Life Structure 06:11 Business Angle Inventory 06:55 Your Turn and Wrap Up Podcast Sponsors: Robert Piper Hi Voltage Bargains Ethan “Rooshock”  The BOLO Hunter  PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on ▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify ▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple ▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod ► Let's CONNECT on social media: ▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle ▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.com MUSIC: » via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrv Continue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyle Join the Newsletter: check it out

    Money Creates Opportunity BUT It Can Also Hold You Back | EP. 280 | Further Your Lifestyle Podcast

    Watch it here: https://youtu.be/L9NLhaKaGFo In Episode 280 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris shares a personal reflection on how money can create opportunities while also holding people back from pursuing their full potential. Drawing on his path from studying IT and working in corporate tech consulting project management to leaving his job during the pandemic to build his own business, he discusses the tension between needing income to survive and taking the risk to chase passion when the money may not come immediately. Chris encourages listeners to strip away the money question to clarify what they truly want, take small steps every day toward their goals, seek relevant experience and communities, and recognize that most “dream” paths are long journeys rather than overnight wins. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:50 Money And Potential 02:17 Career Origins 03:57 Side Hustles In Consulting 05:20 Quitting Corporate Leap 06:06 Purpose Over Paycheck 07:39 Start Now Not Later 08:48 Daily Steps Toward Dreams 10:07 Impact Bigger Than Money 10:45 Final Thoughts And Outro Podcast Sponsors: Robert Piper Hi Voltage Bargains Ethan “Rooshock”  The BOLO Hunter  PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on ▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify ▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple ▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod ► Let's CONNECT on social media: ▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle ▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.com MUSIC: » via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrv Continue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyle Join the Newsletter: check it out

    Understand Why You Can (Break Big Goals Into Simple Steps) | EP. 279 | Further Your Lifestyle Podcast

    Watch here: https://youtu.be/CgbC7_YwbMU In Episode 279 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris reflects on getting frustrated by not having the next result yet while forgetting that current results were once the goal, then encourages listeners to shift from “I can’t” to understanding why they can. Using his business growth from under $500K to a $750K run rate, he explains how progress comes from breaking goals into basic inputs (price and volume), doing the math, and working backward with repeated “why” questions to identify the real obstacles—like sourcing, systems, staffing, and customer acquisition. He compares this process to training for a 10K by building distance and reps over time, emphasizing that results come from consistent tangible work, discomfort, and long-term persistence, and invites listeners to share what’s holding them back. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:44 Why You Can 02:09 Progress Perspective 03:46 Breaking Down Goals 05:12 The Math Example 07:04 Obstacles Not Excuses 08:58 Reps Make It Easier 11:12 Discomfort And Desire 12:21 Final Encouragement Podcast Sponsors: Robert Piper Hi Voltage Bargains Ethan “Rooshock”  The BOLO Hunter  PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on ▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify ▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple ▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod ► Let's CONNECT on social media: ▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle ▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.com MUSIC: » via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrv Continue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyle Join the Newsletter: check it out

    It’s Your Choice: Taking Accountability, Avoiding Shortcuts & Doing the Hard Thing | EP. 278 | Further Your Lifestyle Podcast

    Watch here: https://youtu.be/88Xd85ik1tI In Episode 278 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris shares a short pep talk centered on the idea that “it’s your choice,” emphasizing personal responsibility, accountability, and how you choose to interpret situations. He explains that progress depends on choosing to do what’s required—whether that means taking action, asking for help, or committing to both the practical and theory sides of learning (using training to be a chef as an example). Chris challenges the habit of blaming external pressures and warns against chasing shortcuts, arguing that doing the hard thing first can save time and repeated failure. He encourages listeners to reflect on how the message applies to their current circumstances and invites them to share the tough decisions they’re facing. 00:00 Welcome Back Intro 01:20 Theme Its Your Choice 01:44 Choosing Your Mindset 02:07 Doing What It Takes 02:25 Chef Training Example 03:03 Reacting To Life Pressures 04:05 Shortcuts Versus Hard Way 04:37 Accountability Pep Talk 05:17 Reflect And Take Action 06:01 Wrap Up And Next Week Podcast Sponsors: Robert Piper Hi Voltage Bargains Ethan “Rooshock”  The BOLO Hunter  PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on ▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify ▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple ▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod ► Let's CONNECT on social media: ▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle ▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.com MUSIC: » via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrv Continue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyle Join the Newsletter: check it out

    What Does It Take? The Question That Moves You Forward | EP. 277 | Further Your Lifestyle Podcast

    WATCH: https://youtu.be/J_svBd5aH_E In Episode 277 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris shares a short, personal reflection on the question “What does it take?” and how it applies to business, training, education, and career goals. He explains that progress requires honest self-awareness: what worked to get you here may not be enough to reach the next level, so you must identify what actions, learning, help, savings, or extra effort are required and write them down. Chris uses a hiring example—only 2 of 6 applicants completed a requested video—to show how initiative and doing what others won’t can set you apart. He challenges listeners who feel stuck to define what it will take and consistently take action to move closer to their goals. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 01:24 What Does It Take 01:33 Zooming Out on Goals 03:00 Honest Progress Check 04:07 Hiring Story Lesson 05:13 Your Weekly Challenge 06:04 Scaling to One Million 06:30 Action Equals Results 07:09 Wrap Up and Callouts Podcast Sponsors: Robert Piper Hi Voltage Bargains Ethan “Rooshock”  The BOLO Hunter  PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on ▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify ▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple ▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod ► Let's CONNECT on social media: ▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle ▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.com MUSIC: » via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrv Continue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyle Join the Newsletter: check it out

    Where Is Your Attention Going? Screen Time, Doomscrolling & Protecting Your Mind | EP. 276 | Further Your Lifestyle Podcast

    Watch it here: https://youtu.be/QoL2XHfqq7I In Episode 276 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris reflects on how attention is being demanded more than ever, leading to doomscrolling and shorter attention spans, and asks listeners to consider where they are spending their time. He encourages checking screen-time data on phones and other devices to see what is consuming the most attention, noting it can be confronting even with business-related usage. Drawing from conversations outside his usual network and his own hours spent streaming eBay Live, he questions where that time would have gone a year ago and highlights how easily apps like Instagram can distract from intended tasks. Chris urges listeners to be mindful of what they let into their minds, protect their attention, and prioritize productive inputs for growth. 00:00 Welcome Back Intro 00:12 Attention Economy Problem 02:02 Check Your Screen Time 03:11 Real World Attention Shifts 04:26 Streaming Hours Example 05:30 Doomscrolling Trap 06:07 Protect Your Mind 07:04 Wrap Up And Call To Action Podcast Sponsors: Robert Piper Hi Voltage Bargains Ethan “Rooshock”  The BOLO Hunter  PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on ▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify ▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple ▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod ► Let's CONNECT on social media: ▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle ▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.com MUSIC: » via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrv Continue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyle Join the Newsletter: check it out

    a QUESTION to challenge your productivity... | EP. 275 | Further Your Lifestyle Podcast

    Watch here https://youtu.be/jgqIbPofzUM In Episode 275 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, host Chris shares a quick post-run conversation inspired by the question, “Which specific hour from your past seven days would you rewrite and what would you do instead?” He uses it to explore how regrets and mistakes can be leveraged for growth by improving how you spend your time moving forward. Chris challenges listeners to weigh the value of continuing annoying tasks versus delegating, outsourcing, automating, batching, or stopping them altogether, using examples like dishes, cooking, meal prep, and even small life automations. He also notes that distractions like doom scrolling can steal attention and time, and reminds listeners that “productive” time is personal. He ends by prompting listeners to reflect on what they’d change from the last week using three lenses: improve, delegate/automate, or stop. 00:00 Welcome Back Intro 00:35 The Rewrite Question 01:26 Regrets And Growth 01:47 Time Cost Tradeoffs 02:53 Dishes Automation Example 03:28 Cooking And Meal Prep 04:35 Life Hacks And Distractions 05:47 Three Options Framework 06:27 Wrap Up And Subscribe Podcast Sponsors: Robert Piper Hi Voltage Bargains Ethan “Rooshock”  The BOLO Hunter  PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on ▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify ▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple ▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod ► Let's CONNECT on social media: ▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle ▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.com MUSIC: » via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrv Continue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyle Join the Newsletter: check it out

    Do the Math, Do the Reps and Close the Gap to Your Goals | EP. 274 | Further Your Lifestyle Podcast

    Watch here: https://youtu.be/AcbxE0ZShJI In Episode 274 of the Further Your Lifestyle podcast, Chris records an off-the-cuff solo conversation right after a run, reflecting on how running helps him reset and how he’s rebuilding after a serious injury that sidelined him for a year. He shares a practical mindset for anyone stuck between a desired outcome and unclear next steps: reverse-engineer the goal, “do the math,” and focus on consistent reps. Using his reselling business as an example, he explains how early revenue targets didn’t match the underlying numbers, how learning and iteration led to growth over multiple years, and how new scale brings new challenges like higher costs and cash-flow pressure. He encourages listeners to ask tough questions, stop procrastinating and comparing, stay kind to themselves, and do one thing daily that compounds toward their goal. 00:00 Off The Cuff Intro 00:25 Running Reset Story 01:19 The Outcome Gap 02:21 Reverse Engineer Goals 03:10 Reselling Numbers Lesson 05:45 New Scale Challenges 08:04 Do The Math Daily 09:34 Reps Build Confidence 10:50 Trial And Error Loop 11:21 Kindness And Closing Podcast Sponsors: Robert Piper Hi Voltage Bargains Ethan “Rooshock”  The BOLO Hunter  PODCAST: https://www.furtheryourlifestyle.com/ ► SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on ▹ Spotify | https://bit.ly/FYL_Spotify ▹ Apple Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_Apple ▹ Google Podcast | https://bit.ly/FYL_GooglePod ► Let's CONNECT on social media: ▹ instagram | http://www.instagram.com/furtheryourlifestyle ▹ email | hello@furtheryourlifestyle.com MUSIC: » via https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/6hfvrv Continue the conversation:  @furtheryourlifestyle Join the Newsletter: check it out
