“When we calculate how many of those Mondays we have left, could that be the thing that actually wakes us up to not just the finite nature of life, but that allows us to say, wait a minute, I have this remaining time. It’s precious. How can I live it with the greatest intention?” – Jodi Wellman

Jodi Wellman is a speaker, executive coach, assistant instructor in the Master of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania, and founder of 4000 Mondays, a platform to help people live life without deathbed regrets.

Jodi was inspired to learn about how to live life without deathbed regrets when she studied Temporal Scarcity at the University of Pennsylvania. Through her research, she found empirical evidence that living life with intention is useful and created a platform to talk about it. She proposed living life wider and deeper, and encouraged people to focus on having a sprinkling of experiences that make them feel alive. Jodi ultimately wants us to savor our days and not wait for a wakeup call in order to appreciate life and live without regret.
