We all have these things we want to do, and they\u2019re all intangible until you speak them or write them down.\nToday I\u2019m talking to Ben Nemtin, one of the founders of The Buried Life. When he was younger Ben struggled with serious depression and today he\u2019s talking about how he got through it. From there he decided to make a life pursuing the dreams he always wanted to achieve like traveling the world and playing basketball with President Obama. It begs the question: why aren\u2019t you living your life to the fullest right now?\n\nBen has some great tips about living the life you want, plus he talks about giving back and being creative in all aspects of your life. He is a super inspiring guy who has really created some amazing moments for himself.\n\nIf this is your first time visiting our new site, head over to take the quiz so that we can provide you with content picked just for your creative journey.\nFailure is an amazing thing: it either changes your direction that you need to go or at the very least you learn something about yourself and you grow.\n\nSome things we learn in this podcast:\n\n \tWhat led to Ben\u2019s depression [5:20]\n \tHow Ben decided to create his own tribe [7:00]\n \tHow they got the idea to do all the things they wanted to do [8:00]\n \tHow he got to play basketball with Obama [12:30]\n \tWhy you should write down your goals [18:50]\n \tHow he balanced wanting to cross of his own bucket list items and help others [20:30]\n \tThe six steps\xa0 of creating a life you want [23:30]\n \tHow Ben helped a woman get a bionic arm [29:30]\n \tWhy talking to each other can help tackle depression [31:00]\n \tHow practicing meditation has helped his mindset [38:10]\n \tThe transition from depression to believing that anything is possible [40:30]\n \tWhat is next on Ben\u2019s bucket list [44:15]\n \tHow to create space in your life for the things you want [46:55]\n \tWhat\u2019s next for Ben [49:10]\n \tBooks Ben loves [52:40]\n \tWhy Ben wants to start a gratefulness practice [54:10]\n \tHow Ben lives inspiration [59:10]\n\nLinks mentioned:\n\n \tTake our quiz to get content just for you\n \tCheck out The Buried Life\n \tLearn more about\xa0Hanger Clinics\n \tListen to my interview with Vienna Pharaon\n \tGet the Headspace meditation app\n \tWatch the trailer for The Buried Life\n \tGet the books Ben mentions:\n\n \tHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie\n \tThe Mask of Masculinity by Lewis Howes\n \tNight by Elie Weisel\n\n\n \tMusic Credit:\xa0Anxiety by Blanda\n\nConnect\xa0with \xa0Instagram\xa0|\xa0Twitter\xa0|\xa0Website
