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

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.
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; andWhy raising capital might be the very thing you need to get your company to the next level.

We are back with another BTYO episode and we are talking about a concept that Jaemin Frazer originally talked about on his podcast The Insecurity Project - Episode 245 (links below). Jaemin talks about the idea of gamifying your life - we explain why this is such a powerful concept in this episode!
In our interview with Jaemin (episode 4) we talked about why the use of metaphors are so important, more specifically how metaphors are the language of the unconscious mind. The reason why understanding the unconscious mind matters so much is because often it is the very thing that holds us back in life.
Here are the links discussed:
