Ep. 50: 4,000 Mondays: Stop Deferring Life and Start Living It with Dr. Jodi Wellman

Dr. Jodi Wellman is a psychologist, author, TEDx speaker, and the creator of 4,000 Mondays — a philosophy built on one sobering truth: the average human life contains roughly 4,000 Mondays. In this episode, she joins Eduard to explore what happens when you actually do the mortality math, why most of us keep deferring the life we want, and how befriending death might be the most life-affirming thing you can do. Topics covered: - Why counting your remaining Mondays is the most effective wake-up call - Regrets of omission vs. commission — and why what we didn't do haunts us more - How entrepreneurs get trapped in one-dimensional lives without noticing - "Pre-grats": regrets in the making that you can still change today - Health span vs. life expectancy — why quality years matter more than quantity - The deathbed exercise and how to use it without waiting for a near-death experience - Why novelty and the willingness to be bad at something new are signs of aliveness - How leaders can build teams that bring genuine energy to work — by having a life outside of it Take Jodi's "How Alive or Dead Are You?" quiz and find her book at 4000mondays.com
