Carlos & Susanne
This weekly podcast is about designing your life in order to live it to it‘s fullest. Your hosts, Carlos & Susanne Hidalgo, have been applying Life Design principles for the last four years and will share the lessons they have learned, the approaches they take to continually design the life they want and also feature guests who have designed their lives and are living life to it‘s fullest.
What would change for you if you decided to live your life as a great story? This was one of the many things that Carlos & Susanne discussed with Alex Shootman.
Shootman is a husband, dad, and CEO of Alkami and he shared his perspective on living your best life in this episode of The Life Design Podcast. He shares his own story and what he has learned along the way about being the best version of himself.
Shootman encourages us all to live a great story, to not look in the mirror and see a scorecard, discusses peace versus contentment and why you should focus on being who you want to become 51% of the time.
Throughout the conversation, Shootman reminds us that you are the author of your story and you cannot author someone else's and that you need to jump in and do it because "nobody learned to swim in the front yard".

In this episode of The Life Desing Podcast, Haney discusses what led to the decisions she made, how relationships should be a place of expansion, the value in finding calm within yourself, and why you should follow those things that fuel you.

All of us have had our fork in the road moments. Those times when we are faced with key decisions that we have to make as well as those times when life throws things at us that we could have never expected. What would those times look like if we allowed ourselves to sit in the quiet and imagine if?
"Imagine If" has been the ethos for Rachel Downey for the last number of years starting with the premature birth of her daughter. In this episode of The Life Design Podcast, Downey shared her approach to Life Design and how "Imaging If" has led her to create a successful business, be a mom to three great kids, and have a vibrant marriage.
Downey shares how she seeks to be intentional in all areas of her life, the approach she takes to define boundaries, why you do not need a Plan B, and the power we can all have if we allow ourselves to "Imagine If".

For Alan Thomas, there was a day not that long ago when time stood still. He was 55 and as he looked down at the scale the number 304 lbs looked back at him. As he looked down at the scale, there were three thoughts that he had - he could not recall ever meeting a 65 year old man that was more than 100 pounds overweight, meaning that he likely had less than 10 years to live. He would likely be known as his wife's first husband, since he would probably be dead in less than 10 years and all of his dreams would be cut short by his obesity.
This experience led Thomas to commit to change and in November of 2017, he publically stated his commitment on his Facebook page and that was to lose 129 lbs in 252 days. Not only did Thomas reach his goal, but he also reached it five days ahead of schedule.
In this episode of The Life Design Podcast, Thomas shares his transformation story, discusses how he now helps others transform their lives, and reminds those that struggle that it is never about the weight. Thomas discusses the idea that whatever belief we hold to, that is the one that will make us right and challenges all to begin living a life they are capable of living.
