My New Podcast: Redefine Rich

My wife and I both believe in a healthy lifestyle – granted we love a good burger or a Chic-fil-A sandwich every now and again – but, outside of the occasional treat, we try to cook at home. And, when we can, we prefer natural and organic ingredients.

A couple of months ago, Liz made the mistake of telling our inquisitive and outgoing three-year old, MJ, that he couldn’t have a certain snack because it contained artificial ingredients. Somehow I knew that was going to come back to haunt us.

Just last week, MJ turned four. Apparently this was a milestone birthday for our son that we were unaware of. A few days after his birthday, around nap time, it was obvious that he didn’t plan on going to sleep. In mom fashion, Liz stepped in to be the parent, insisting that MJ take a nap.

MJ furiously responded, “Mom, why don’t you ever let me do what I want to do? I’m four years old now, I don’t have to nap and I can eat artificial if I want to.”

Episode 1: An Introduction to Richness

On this episode, I introduce the podcast and give an overview of the challenge to Redefine Rich.

Chances are, your life is busy and hectic. In the midst of the noise, this podcast promises to bring you encouragement and hope that there something more to richness than financial wealth and well-being.

Our culture tells us that being rich has everything to do with how much money you have or how much stuff you own. However, with this mindset, someone is always richer and this unfulfilling pursuit will leave you empty.

I know because as a husband, father, and small business owner, I had come completely burnout in chasing that definition.

As I began to reflect, I saw that richness was far more diverse that what I understood it to be. After a conversation with author and friend, Tom Morris, I began writing. The catalyst for my journey came while reflecting on a moment surrounding the death of my Aunt Trish.

The night before she died, I overheard a nurse tell her, “You make my life rich.”

At that moment, the journey to redefine rich began.

On next week’s episode, we’ll talk about the four RICH principles.

Until then, answer this question in the show notes:

What does it mean to you to be rich?

    Living rich means good health, family, passions and purpose. Some days are richer than others, but I am thankful none the less. Looks like you clearly understand this, Matt, and the message you are sharing is important.

      John-
      Thank YOU for leaving your insight with us. I’ve often thought that each one of the letters represent an area of life i.e. Relationships, Ideas, Career, and Health. Still thinking on that one!
