We have a limited time on earth, and many of us spend that time caught in the hamster wheel of the nine-to-five grind. Our guests today are living the alternative. For Kim and Rob Murgatroyd, life comes first, and their income streams exist to support their dreams. In fact, you may already know Rob and Kim from social media and their inspiring travels around the world! Rob is a former chiropractor and the creator of the Work Hard Play Hard Podcast, and, in this episode, you’ll discover how this formidable couple made the dramatic decision to sell their chiropractic clinic and pursue a life of joy, travel, and creativity. We talk about how contrast creates clarity, and what, in the Murgatroyds’ case, gave them the clarity to up and move to Florence, Italy with their seven-year-old daughter. Rob and Kim reflect on “stupid idea time” and how this simple act of dreaming “impossible” dreams changed their lives. We also touch on the magic momentum of decision-making, what tends to interrupt “flow”, the dangers of being addicted to success, and so much more! Tune in to hear Rob and Kim’s awe-inspiring story and their advice on how to wake up from the trance of the rat race and pursue your dreams!
