For me, one of the most important aspects of life to protect is my freedom. As an entrepreneur, I’ve been fortunate to experience a lot of freedom and different types of freedom–freedoms that have tradeoffs, but freedoms nonetheless. Prior to launching RLS Wealth, I had some of these freedoms, but in lesser amounts, so I can remember what it was like to be more constrained. Freedom of time. If I never had the opportunity to experience these freedoms, I don’t think I’d realize how important they are to me; now that I have, I’m not sure I’m willing to give them up. These freedoms allow me to stay in control of designing my life to align with the evolution of my authentic life–they allow me to keep the pen in my hand. As I continue on my Pursuit, I’m sure (and hopeful) opportunities will find their way to me, and while there will be many details to consider, freedoms will be at the top of the list for me. When you look at your life, what types of freedom and how much do you have? JC |

In this episode we discuss "authenticity", whether or not it's a buzzword, and how different generations view the term and living authentically. I think this is the best episode for us yet. I also dropped...
Yesterday, I exchanged a couple of voice notes with one of my closest friends and shared a belief with him that helped me connect another dot in the Pursuit of the authentic life. My friend shared that so many things in his life were right where they needed to be—aligned with his values and allowing him to live his authentic life and continue to evolve. His family.His finances.His health.His career. All great! But despite all of those important aspects being aligned, something was missing....
“There’s beauty in completion. And always faith in the unknown.” - Kendrick Lamar This remains one of my favorite quotes. As you continue to pursue your authentic life, you will have chapters that end, leaving you to trust in the unknown. For most, the unknown can be scary and sometimes keep you in a chapter longer than you should be just to avoid the unknown. But, the more you experience venturing into the unknown, the stronger your faith will become making it easier and even exciting to...
