    How Starting With The End In Mind Will Reveal What You Really Want

    How Starting With The End In Mind Will Reveal What You Really Want

    But what if it doesn't work?

    It's the first question for most of us at every turn, change, or transition point in our lives.

    The 🔑 is that the next question always must be, "But what if it does?"

    Followed quickly by "What's the simplest next step to test it?"

    Because possibility follows action.

    The "what if" can go either way. It all comes down to whether or not you're willing to believe, try and adjust. And all of it must align to what it is you truly want.

    Because even when things "haven't worked out," that "failure" ultimately worked out in our favor.

    Learning How To Live Through Death With BJ Miller, MD & Sonya Dolan of Mettle Health

    Learning How To Live Through Death With BJ Miller, MD & Sonya Dolan of Mettle Health

    In this enlightening episode of UNLOCKED host Phil Franks and guests, Sonya Dolan and BJ Miller, co-founders of Mettle Health, dive deep into the wildly misunderstood world of palliative care, grief, and the human experience of life and death.


    They explore the five regrets of the dying, touching on the importance of living a life true to oneself and fully embracing all aspects of life. The conversation delves into the ways individuals can begin to engage with their own mortality, opening up about the role of grief in that process. Sonya and BJ emphasize that grief is not something to "get through" but a transformative journey of integrating loss into one's life, ultimately leading to personal growth and newfound perspectives on life and death.



    KEY TAKEAWAYS:
    Palliative care is about mitigating suffering and realizing joy, promoting quality of life irrespective of the outcome.Life and death are entwined, and appreciating both is essential for a fulfilled life.Learning to live with the hard emotions, including grief, is crucial for personal growth.Grief is not something to "get through"; it's an ongoing journey of integrating loss into your life.Embracing change and accepting the new version of yourself that emerges after loss can lead to personal growth and a deeper appreciation of life.

    ABOUT BJ & SONYA:
    BJ Miller is President & Counselor at Mettle Health, author, and renowned speaker. And is best known for his 2015 TED Talk, "What Really Matters at the End of Life" which has been viewed over 11million times.


    You may have seen BJ as the subject of Netflix's Academy Award-nominated short documentary, End Game. Or, most recently, on LIMITLESS, where he helps Chris Hemsworth confront and accept his mortality. He also co-authored a book for approaching the end of life titled A Beginner’s Guide to the End. And wrote a chapter sharing his advice in Tim Ferriss' book Tools of Titans.



    Sonya Dolan is Co-founder and director of operations at Mettle Health. Sonya came to work in the field of hospice and palliative care after the death of her mother. This loss and the experience of being a caregiver greatly influenced her career trajectory.

    Ruthlessly Prioritizing Your Priorities To Transform Your Life And Outcomes

    Ruthlessly Prioritizing Your Priorities To Transform Your Life And Outcomes

    If you often catch yourself uttering the words, "Oh, if only I had more time," then pause and consider this...

    What you don't do dictates what you can do.

    Refuse to settle for mediocrity and embark on a mindful journey where every decision you make aligns harmoniously with your deepest intentions. Be ruthless about your priorities. Your time is one of your most valuable resources. Spend it wisely, focused on your highest values, intentions and non-negotiables.

    You will rarely "have" time. You must create it. Intentionally.

    And being ruthless about scheduling your time around what matters most will transform your outcomes into more of what you desire.

Elite in every sense

Unlocked is one of my top 5 go to podcasts. I’m a super listener and consumer approximately 10-20 hours of podcasts a week and this is consistently one of the best every week. I get so many nuggets from each episode, but I consistently get maximum value from Phil and his approach/intent/dedication to being an elite father and husband, and what that means not only from a production and provider standpoint, but from an emotional and empathetic perspective. As a recovering catholic and someone very versed is shoving feelings deep into my soul…this is the work I do every day and this podcast is a pivotal part and anchor of that work. For sure worth a listen, and don’t forget to check out there conversation with Rob Dyrdek on his podcast “build with rob”. It was an epic conversation, one of robs best episodes.
