There is crazy and there is insane. There is a difference and my guest on today's episode is not insane, I promise you that, but he is crazy. I believe it's the crazy people of the world that make the difference, if you are same same as everyones else you are not going to standout and make a difference. When we look at the people that have made the real accomplishments, that make real impact, that impact the world and inspire us, and open our minds to what is possible, it is the crazy people that do that. Sitting with me on the sofa is Croix Sather. Croix holds a couple of World Records for doing some crazy stuff. One of the things he did was run across Death Valley in California unassisted. At the moment Croix is living through a life experiment where he is finding out what it is like to be homeless, not living homeless on the streets but living with out restrictions, Croix explains all.

Chris is a multiple author of best-selling books, hosts a 7 day a week podcast called The Side Hustle School, and the most fascinating thing about Chis is over the last ten years he has visited every country in the world, all 193 of them through what he calls travel hacking.

If you are not doing what you love to do, you have to ask yourself, what am I doing? Am I just selling out? Am I just setting a goal for something down the road that I may or may not reach or am I carpe deim, am I seizing the day and living my life the best way I know how? If you already are, then you are probably having FUN. Today's guest is no exception, his name is Vincenzo Landino and known by many of his friends by 'Enzo'. A couple of years ago, Vincenzo and I jumped on a site called Blab.

Today’s guest who shares the same values is Alex Khan of AlexKhan.tv.

Welcome to Episode 17 of FUN! If we put our minds to it, we can figure out how to incorporate more fun into almost anything that we do. But if you are not having Fun doing what you are doing, you are probably doing the wrong thing. For most people, that is a radical concept. Not today's guest, though. Kevin Knebl exudes the word FUN. He is an International Speaker, Author, Trainer, and Joie de Vivre Coach among other things. If you take away anything from this episode take this: Take time on a daily basis to just unplug and sit to do some creative thinking. We need the time to flush out our busy thoughts built up during the day.
