Ep 5 of the exclusive 'The Brief is You' series with Vince Frost and Prof. Joel Pearson.
Can you design your life?
This is the question Vince Frost asked himself over a decade ago, yes was the answer. Since then he began applying his principles of design to his own life. This helped him find his flow: he became more reflective, more alive to the senses, more in touch with the people in his life and more aware of his value.
In the final episode of the ’The Brief is You’ series Vince and Joel delve into designing your life discussing what are some of the most important actions you can take to design the kind of life you want to live.
The pair deep dive into the idea of safe experimentation - the act of testing the waters in your life be it skydiving or something less extreme like learning to ride a horse or taking the pottery course you’ve always thought about. You never know what you are missing in your life until you try it.
Joel also touches on the importance of routine and why having structure in your life can free your mind to think of more important things, as well as why the secret to achieving your goals is to not tell anyone about them.
Listen in to hear this and many more insightful questions answered in the fifth and final episode of the series.
