Send us Fan MailHow Being PSYCHED Will Transform Your Life With Nathan BigelowThe Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner Episode 25Nathan Bigelow is a 18-year-old high school senior from Dover, New Hampshire. He excels in every area of his life— a top student, a number one varsity tennis player, an avid rock climber and coach, and an overall smart young man. More importantly, Nathan Bigelow has been my best friend for the last 14 years. We don't touch on it in the episode, but everyone deserves this type of friendship— having a friend who is totally invested in your life just as you are in theirs makes life more fun and valuable. This is truly one of my favorite conversations I’ve ever had. We dive into everything from how you can live your life with more psych and excitement, to the power of abstaining from social media as a teenager. I think you’ll love it.We started off the conversation by talking about how you can foster more psych in your life. Psych is the contagious energy that some people have when they are just infatuated by the excitement of life. Nathan is great at staying present in the moment and generating excitement for just about anything, including the things others would dread. This shows in his discipline— waking up at 5 AM before school to run and work out. This leads us to start talking about early risers and late to bedders. We dive into our own schedules and how some of us tend naturally toward one thing, but would rather force ourselves to do another.We then go into social media, my favorite topic of this podcast. Nathan has never had social media. As a seventeen-year-old, this is extremely rare. We explore the benefits this has on his life and how his creativity is unlocked by the lack of comparison he has to the top “0.01%”. We ask the question: is social media a drug? We explore the addiction that so many of our peers have and how detrimental it is to our generation.We then denounce nihilism. Nathan believes that each and every moment could open a door to a better life. Life is a gift— although we may never dent the universe as a whole, we can make an impact on the small circle of people around us. That is enough. Overall, this is an episode about loving life.Links & Resources Mentioned (not sponsored):The Compound Effect by Darren HardyThis book is mentioned by both Jack and Nathan.
