John Lee Dumas is the host of EOFire, an award winning Podcast where he interviews today’s most successful Entrepreneurs 7-days a week. JLD has interviewed over 1400 Entrepreneurs and EOFire has over 1 million monthly listens.

In this episode I ask JLD shares practices and advice on how we can go about discovering our why and living life with greater passion and purpose.

Do we all have a why?

Yes, we do! Some people may never find it because they don’t try and some people spend their whole life finding it without success. So when you find it be grateful, hold on to it, amplify it and share the value.

What are 3-5 things others can do to connect with theirs?

Be honest with yourself. Have honest conversations with yourself. Find the time and space to search internally. Don’t be afraid with silence and the answers you may discover.

What might be holding you back from following your path?

We listen externally to often for advice. The safe path, the typical path, may not be the best path to follow. Surround yourself with people that inspire you and don’t look externally for self-definition in life.

What is your meaning of success?

Freedom.

What advice would you give your 20-year old self?

Chill out. Relax. Have patience. Experiment. Try things. Make mistakes. Surround yourself by interesting people.

What are some of your daily routines/rituals?

Intermittent fasting. Meditation. Journaling. Exercise. Reading. Thinking.

What is the greatest productivity hack you know?

John uses The Master Journal. You can check it out here.

What advice would you give to anyone looking to make change in their life?

Look at those people who you inspire to be and study them. See how they got there and start putting yourself on that path.
