Episode 44
On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation
Have you ever dreamed about taking a break from your daily routine and travelling the world with your family? This week’s guest, Charles Achampong, did EXACTLY that – put his regular life on pause and travelled the world for 6 months with his wife and two young kids. Through this experience, Charles learned a ton about himself and the people he loves the most. It also allowed him a chance to shift his perspective and acted as a catalyst for his own personal growth.
In my podcast conversation with Charles, we talk about the power of taking a pause in life to reflect, reset and connect with the people you love. I dig into the details of his trip – the spark that started it all, highlights from specific destinations, and strategies for saving for a big adventure like this – so that we can all learn from his experience. Then we chat about why “your ego is not your amigo” and the importance of being able to think with your heart and not with your head. (We’re all pretty good already at the latter!) Charles describes how deep down inside we all know the things that bring us joy and how fulfillment comes from our ability to pursue those things. As Charles says, “This journey wasn’t just about seeing the world; it was about stepping away from routine to reconnect and find what truly matters”.
Finally, we build Charles’s equation: 7e + 7o + 7m + 5s + 5k + 3fr + 2v + 7li
