903. Our Biggest Lessons From Italy

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve finally had some time to really reflect about our vacation to the Amalfi Coast and want to share some of our biggest takeaways from the trip. Our friend Rob Murgatroyd curated so many beautiful experiences as part of his Work Hard Play Hard Mastermind and we were able to really soak up the Italian culture, art, food, and fashion. We talk about getting clarity on how we’re going to balance the joy and production containers of our lives, and our commitment to making time for new, enriching experiences in our week. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We learned about the Italian saying “Dolce Far Niente,” which means the sweetness of doing nothing, observing beauty, and enjoying life in the moment. Chris and I want to take time to be more present in our everyday lives and worry less about things that we don’t have control over. This trip proved to us that a vacation doesn't have to be just a moment in time一we can extend this sense of peace and wonder into our everyday lives. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Examples of how Italians value both form and function, and beauty for beauty’s sake </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why we’re cutting off work at 1PM on Fridays for the next few months </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Applying deeper meaning to our beautiful life together and taking away the power that stress has </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Finding magic in connection and conversation when business isn’t the main topic </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The benefits of getting out of your environment and day-to-day comfort zone </span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>RESOURCES</strong></p> <ul> <li
