My guests today are Bridget Hilton and Joe Huff who are co-authors of the best selling book, Experiential Billionaire: Build a Life Rich in Experiences and Die With No Regrets. Before you dismiss this episode thinking you're too busy making a living and you don't have the resources to do the things you want to do, my conversation with Bridget and Joe delved into exactly that fear:

"People get scared because it's easier to wrap their heads around what they have to lose than what they have to gain." - Bridget Hilton

Bridget and Joe surveyed over 20,000 people from all walks of life and the result is eye opening. People's regrets are very similar no matter their age and income status and in our conversation, we talk about why people often put things that matter in the fictional world of 'someday.' But more importantly, we talk about the exercises described in their book that can help you have that sense of urgency to start doing the things you love.

If you have a bucket list that you've stowed away in that fictional world of 'someday' because you think you don't have the time or resources to do them or they're simply too big to make them happen, this episode is for you. Our conversation will walk you through the actions you can take to start building a life rich in experiences with no regrets.
