“You get 1440 minutes EVERYDAY!”
“Disconnect to Connect.”
“You have to have a reason to change, and you have to find your reason.”
“We’re in the middle of a time revolution, and I want to lead the revolt.”
This podcast is about the amount of time you get for this lifetime and how you’re going to spend it. Finding balance in your Nine Palaces is incredibly important. What’s the most important factor to balancing our Nine Palaces? Time.




The Concept of Stuffing: We’re obsessed with stuffing because we have no time.


* The Time Suckers are everywhere.
* Time is more valuable than anything else. Maybe even love because if you have no time to be with your loved ones, then you don’t have love! It’s about spending time with each other.
* Everyone has the same 24 hours every day.
* FOMO – fear of missing out stops you from doing what’s most important to you.
* Change is work.
* Replacing bad habits with good habits.
* If you want a better life, you have to take action: hence “Inspired Action.”

It’s about you looking at your life and deciding what you want to do with these minutes everyday.



Are you just passing time because you don’t want to face your life. Are you “Addicted to Distraction?” ADD leads to ATD (Addicted to Distraction)–you’re down the rabbit hole in two seconds. Why are we doing the things we’re doing?
Take back what is truly ours–it’s time! It’s your time, it matters.
