Rich Roll used to be a stressed-out corporate lawyer, but then decided to make some major life changes at the age of 40.

He went all-in on a 100% plant-based diet, shed 50 pounds, and started diving headfirst into a bunch of different areas related to wellness and human potential. We're talking ultra-endurance, nutrition, mindfulness, spirituality - the whole nine yards!

Fast forward to now - this dude is 54 years young, living it up in Malibu, California, and sharing his wisdom with the world through talks, books, and his own podcast. Oh, and did I mention he's also a dad to FOUR kids?

So if you're feeling like you're stuck in a rut, just remember that it's never too late to make a change. And who knows - maybe one day you'll be traveling the world, inspiring others to live their best lives just like this guy.

Get ready to meet Julie Piatt, or as they would like to call her, SriMati. Julie is a true force of nature, bursting with spiritual wisdom and enough talents to make you feel bad about yourself. She's an incredible yogi, chef, musician, and mom to our four kiddos. Oh, and did I mention she's also a bestselling author of three vegan cookbooks and the mastermind behind SriMu, the tastiest plant-based cheese in the galaxy?

Julie is our go-to guru when it comes to all things spiritual and she shares her wisdom on everything from parenting and creativity to finding your purpose in life. So if you're looking for inspiration or just want to bask in the glow of her radiance, make sure to tune in to For The Life of Me and join her spiritual community, Water Tiger. Trust me, Julie will leave you feeling enlightened and hungry for more.

Ramit started his site way back in 2004 when he was studying tech and psych at Stanford. College was a struggle for him, and he had to find ways to pay for it myself. So he hustled and applied to over 60 scholarships and ended up scoring enough dough to finish both my undergrad and grad degrees. But then, he made a classic rookie mistake – invested his first scholarship check in the stock market and lost half of it. Facepalm. That’s when he knew he had to figure out how to make money work for him.

You know that old story "The Emperor Has No Clothes"? he realized that most money advice out there is just as irrelevant as that naked emperor. It's all about cutting back and restricting yourself from all the things you love. Like, who wants to be told they can't have a latte or go on vacation? No thank you, sir! Plus, the whole money game is so darn confusing. I mean, 401(K)s, HSAs, FSAs, asset allocation, P/E ratios, estate taxes…what the heck is all this stuff? And who can you really trust to guide you through it?

But you know what's missing from all that jargon? Money psychology. Yeah, it's not just about the math, my friends. It's about the way you think and feel about money. And that's where he comes in. So tune in, subscribe, and let's get your money mindset in check.

Alright, let’s introduce you to Christine and Thomas - a Midwestern couple in their early thirties with three kiddos. They've been in their current house for two years and let's just say their finances aren't exactly flourishing.

These guys are treading water and feeling the stress. But when Ramit took a look at their numbers, he nearly fell off my chair. They think a few small changes will fix everything, but that's not gonna cut it.

If you wanna see what's really going on, check out the full episode on YouTube. Just search for, Ramit Sethi, and join in on the fun. Trust me, you won't want to miss it.

Challenge of the Month

Alright folks, listen up because I've got something that's gonna change your life in just 50 days. Yeah, you heard me right - I'm talking about the Project 50 Challenge.

Basically, it's a commitment to adding some positive habits to your daily routine and making some positive changes to your life overall. And you gotta stick with it for 50 days straight.

Now, I know what you're thinking - "50 days? That's a long time." But trust me, it'll fly by in no time. And the best part is, you'll be a whole new and improved version of yourself by the end of it.

Oh, and did I mention there are 7 rules to the challenge? Yeah, that's right - it's not just some willy-nilly thing.

So, if you're ready to take on the challenge and make some serious positive changes in your life, then get ready to join the Project 50 squad. Trust me, it's gonna be epic.

What are the rules for the Project 50 challenge?

Alright, my fellow hustlers, let me leave you with some words of encouragement.

I know life can be tough sometimes, and it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind. But remember, you are capable of achieving greatness.

Whether you're working towards a big career goal, trying to improve your health and wellness, or just trying to be a better friend and partner, know that every step you take towards your goals is a step in the right direction.

So keep pushing forward, my friends. And if you ever feel like giving up, just remember that there's a whole community of like-minded people out there rooting for you.
