Gareth Hermann: The New Paradigm of Self-Managing Teams and Communal Living in Costa Rica

Please welcome my adventurous and curious friend, Gareth Hermann. Gareth is an entrepreneur, an "ops nut" like I am, an expat, a fellow lover of travel and "steel ponies," and an aspiring overseas real estate mogul. Most recently, he built and sold a seven-figure digital marketing agency pioneering impact marketing. Nowadays, he splits his time between Nosara, Costa Rica, and Boulder, Colorado. Today we'll be learning what it takes to build a geodome village in Costa Rica and jamming on his new simplified version of EOS that is easy to implement and actually creates results. Gareth Hermann Quotes From the Episode "I believe that we have over-indexed on the paradigm of individualism, and we're actually craving and needing more connection and more community." - Gareth Hermann on the growing need for connection and community. "Transcend and include, which means don't reject the previous stage of consciousness, take the benefits of it, include it, and then continue to evolve on top of that." - Gareth Hermann on why you shouldn't completely reject past stages of development. "Everyone wants to do good work. Everyone wants to be on a team that's winning. Everyone wants to be making progress towards goals." - Gareth Hermann on motivation, teamwork, and the human desire for progress in both business and personal development.

Please welcome my handsome and talented friend, Billy Bosch. He's a long-time health entrepreneur, a travel aficionado, a real estate investor, and, as far as this podcast goes, he is someone rare in that he's reduced his "Biological Age" by ten years as he's gotten into the best shape of his life and started to really dial in his healthspan, not just his lifespan. We'll be talking about his newest venture, YouthRX, and unearth the best of what he's learned in the longevity space as he's gotten his body fat down to 8% at 42 years old (according to the calendar, that is).

"It’s not about having years in your life — it’s about having life in your years." - Billy Bosch on enjoying life and valuing your time.
