Key Takeaways: [4:54] Lisa would consider herself mentally ambidextrous. She likes structure and hard problems but also enjoys free thinking. Both these qualities help her as a storyteller and entrepreneur. [5:04] Lisa talks about deciding that she wanted more out of early retirement than sitting and eating pancakes all day! [8:36] As a polymath, you can both be multidisciplinary and singularly focused. [12:44] Sometimes people put themselves in a prison of their own making. Lisa talks about how we can lean into creativity and fun rather than being stuck feeling like we have to do one thing. [13:21] When we start thinking about making decisions that affect our evolution, we tie in three factors that make them super hard and high-stakes: we make a decision, it is non-reversible, and it seems like it’s non-recoverable. [15:02] Sometimes we think that we are failing, when we're really in the middle of succeeding, but the only way you know that is to know that you are trying a new thing and experimenting. [27:00] Lisa discusses how her definition of success was flawed and how she was basing success on outcome rather than creating a process that really reflected where her money and time were going, and if this matched her values. [38:26] Lifestyle changes can take time. [1:04:29] It’s often what we are ashamed of and embarrassed about that can lead us to really get what we want. [1:08:03] Lisa’s challenge to you: make yourself a “to don’t” list.
