Sebastian Rusk and Stephanie Garcia, hosts of the Beyond the Story podcast, recently signed off from the podcast launchlab.com studios, promising to talk to the audience again in the next episode. During their conversation, they discussed the importance of having a lifestyle that matches the lifestyle business they want to have. They shared their experiences of living in different countries, being single parents, and being digital nomads.
The two also discussed the importance of offline communities in the digital world, and the apps they use to organize memories and information. Sebastian has a morning routine that includes researching what he is reading and learning, while Stephanie used to focus on her business in the first half of the year and take a break in the second half. Now, she is working full-time and running her own business, and is going to Manila and Bali later this year to meet the team of the guy she is dating.
The two have been Facebook friends for a few months and discussed how to use Rome Research to organize memories and information. Rome Research is a search engine that allows users to create a "mind map" of everything they have ever read and learned. Sebastian suggested using Rome Research to organize memories and information related to dating, such as favorite foods, movies, and cartoons, while Stephanie suggested using it to organize content for presentations, such as quotes and material from books, podcasts, and other sources. They both agreed on the importance of making time to read and consume content in order to repurpose it later.
Sebastian resisted getting a microphone for a long time until his friend Doc Rock suggested the Sure mic, while Stephanie opted for the Procaster mic, which is larger than the Pod mic. Stephanie has been in the ad agency world for 15 years and has experience in SEO, paid search, and social media. She left the agency world to focus on live streaming and to be able to spend more time with her daughter, who is in third grade. Stephanie's girlfriend's daughter just went to university, and she is now an empty nester.
The two discussed the possibilities of being an empty nester, with Sebastian suggesting Stephanie to become a digital nomad and travel to different countries, and Stephanie suggesting Sebastian to house swap with a friend in New York for Valentine's Day. Sebastian's mission is to go to New York to network and create opportunities, and Stephanie suggested he host a three-hour workshop there. Sebastian is also considering going to the Philippines towards the end of the year. Stephanie encouraged Sebastian to take action and go on his world tour, while Sebastian is focusing on VIP content strategy days with clients.
Finally, Sebastian and Stephanie discussed the importance of the offline community in the digital world. Sebastian mentioned a group called Chain Miami that meets on the first Tuesday of the month to discuss Web Three topics, while Stephanie is part of a Web Three group that hosts a monthly potluck. Sebastian is organizing an event called Dim Summit in New York for digital Internet marketers, and the two joked about Stephanie being Sebastian's wing woman in the GasLamp. Sebastian encouraged Stephanie to look him up if she ever visits Miami.
Living a lifestyle that matches the lifestyle business you want to have is a great way to achieve success. Whether you're a single parent, a digital nomad, or an empty nester, there are many ways to make the most of your lifestyle and maximize your potential. Take the time to research and consume content, join offline communities, and take action to make your dreams come true.
