E75: Ollie Horton on Consistent Actions, Practical Productivity, Education and more

Season 1, Ep. 75
•

On this week’s episode of Life and Lessons, you’re going to hear a conversation I had with Ollie Horton.


Ollie is a personal trainer, the host of the Stripping it Bare podcast, and somebody I’ve known from afar for a while.


As you’ll discover in this conversation, as I did at the time, if there’s one person who I could sit and rift with for hours on topics I really care about, Ollie would be close to top of the list.


In the next hour, you’re going to learn: 


  • The power of consistent actions compounded over years of life, and how they will get you further than any single quantum leap


  • Why those in the positions you aspire to be are actually just winging it, and why that’s a massively empowering insight 


  • The reason I don’t buy lottery tickets, and why I'm scared of the prospect of winning the lottery


  • The full story behind my decision to go sober, which is one I’ve never really shared in this much detail before


And so much more.


Ollie and I clearly have a lot in common when it comes to our perspectives on personal development, making progress in life, and trying unusual things. And I think that’s what’s so great about this conversation.


It’s less formal than many of the guest episodes we’ve had in the past, but that's only a good thing. And I think you’ll really enjoy this one.
