Episode 30
On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation
In this week’s episode, I’m talking to entrepreneur, author and global public speaker, Rich Mulholland. Rich teaches me all about gamifying life. He describes how to design small, finite games for yourself, how to set your own victory conditions and how to track your progress. Our discussion leads to an “ah-ha” moment for me about why the fulfillment equation practice works so well. As Rich says, “it’s freedom in a framework”!
We also cover a bunch of other interesting topics in our conversation. For example, in reaction to the idea of getting home from work and switching off, Rich talks about how “I never want to switch off, I want to switch over”. On the topic of innovation, he says “Innovation doesn’t happen when you start doing something new, it happens when you stop doing something old”. And when we discuss the tension between change and stability, he gets me thinking by saying, “the goal of novelty is to turn it into utility – that’s how we grow”. There’s also a lot of interesting discussion for long-time business owners and budding entrepreneurs.
Oh yeah, and you’ll never guess the advice 49 year-old Rich would give his 25 year-old self. It’s fantastic!
Finally, we build Rich’s equation: 7W + 7sd + 5cd + 7er + 4 bg + 5e + 11f + fr(3m + 1c + 3b)
“Fulfillment is solving interesting problems.”
– Rich Mulholland
