Memories Pay Dividends Too: How to Advocate for Memorable Life Experiences

In our lives and careers, we’re taught to work, make money, save it, and enjoy it later.

Unfortunately, this delayed gratification mentality robs us of the experiences we can have right now when we have our health and are young enough to enjoy them.

But just like stocks, life experiences pay dividends too and if we can negotiate for them in our contracts, we can enjoy more of our lives now.

How do we carve out room for meaningful life experiences?

In this episode, I reflect on what I’ve been learning in Bill Perkins’ book, Die With Zero.
