Young Opportunist Insights are a collection of our favourite moments from previous conversations we've had on this podcast.

In this insight, Ryan Fisher (founder of FisherTM) talks about his personal experience of seeking happiness and how he found the concept of harmony more achievable than constant happiness. He shares his visit to a psychologist who asked him to list things that are good and bad for him and narrow it down to nine things that he should live by.

He states that by focusing on these simple things daily, which create harmony in life, it can increase the chance of experiencing happy moments. If the path to sustained happiness is to maintain a life of harmony, it can be difficult with constant distractions and temptations around. Like anything, it's easy to veer away from your goals.

Happiness is a fleeting feeling that comes and goes, and instead, we should strive for harmony in life
- Ryan Risher

This guy is Australian version of David Goggins. Ethan makes towing a Jeep on your back look easy.

In this week's episode we had the privilege of talking to Tom and Luke, two of the Barbell Foods founders.

Barbell Foods was founded by four best mates in their early twenties from a shared passion for health, movement and the outdoors. This was the perfect opportunity to create a healthy source of protein to fuel their adventures.

Every business starts somewhere, and their start involved some hard yakka man labor. Marinating kilos of steak in a small, rented kitchen, drying it in the pantry, and finally cutting each steak by hand.

In this episode we cover:

• Advice for young founders with big dreams and empty pockets;
• How you can best transition from your 9-5 corporate job into entrepreneurship;
• Advice on how to take action on that business idea you’ve had in the back of your mind;
• Why having audacity when your just starting out is so important; and
• Why raising capital might be the very thing you need to get your company to the next level.

We would really appreciate if you could leave us a review and share this episode with a friend <3

Let us start by saying that this is the perfect episode for someone that feels like they are lacking motivation and clarity in both a physical sense, and in life more broadly!

In this week's episode we had the honor of talking with Ethan Flemming, one crazy and inspiring individual. Ethan Flemming is a content creator, educator, entrepreneur and also the holder of multiple Guinness World Records - an overachiever we know!

He has completed some of the most insane physically challenges over the past couple years, these include pulling 2t jeep 100km (taking him 48 hours with only 20 minutes of sleep), greatest distance on an assault bike, most burpees in 24 hours 11,401 and much much more.

We literally start fighting demons on a 1-minute wall sit, so we took ALOT away from this episode personally!

What we cover in this episode:

• How Ethan is able to actually succeed at these seemingly impossible challenges and how you can translate perseverance into your own life.
• Advice on how to regain momentum and direction in your life.
• The real reason why you're lacking focus and constantly getting distracted.
• The one thing you need to do if you want to live a successful and fulfilling life (seeking discomfort).
• The difference between the feeling of pain and the suffering we attach to it.
• The reason why people leave so much on the table, both in the gym and in life, and how we can start living to our full potential.
