1:27
Karen Fritz to the show hi there hi
1:30
Karen thanks so much for having me well
1:33
I am really delighted that you're on the
1:35
show and as we said the show is about
1:37
man life we're going to talk a little
1:39
bit about that because you're no longer
1:41
in your van and will tell will tell you
1:43
why viewers but before we do that I like
1:46
to start the show with the question how
1:48
do you describe a super boomer now I
1:49
describe super boomers actually by what
1:52
they're not they are not defined by
1:55
their age they are defined by how they
1:57
show up in life fearless with a just
2:00
watch me attitude that would totally me
2:03
so Karen Fritz how do you describe I
2:09
feel like it's really the ability
2:13
to lead into the the knowledge and the
2:17
experience that I've gained right I see
2:20
it as having gained so much that now I
2:22
can share it back I don't have to be
2:25
intimidated by a culture that really
2:28
worships youth or whatever I bring
2:30
something that literally has never been
2:34
experienced on the planet before quite
2:37
like this and I want to bring it I love
2:39
I love that bring it I totally love that
2:43
because you are you are bringing it if
2:46
you're just joining in right now we've
2:47
got Karen Fritz on and we are talking
2:49
about van life and tips on how to work
2:53
anywhere and I want to start out by
2:54
saying that originally this this show
2:57
was titled tips to do do while you're on
3:00
the road now we would be remiss not to
3:04
say that we are in a time frame right
3:06
now a world that is nothing like any of
3:09
us have ever experienced I don't think
3:11
and so you had to come back home because
3:14
you could no longer be in your van but
3:16
let's talk about van life first what
3:18
does that mean van life basically it
3:21
means the ability to live from a van and
3:25
last summer I got a 2002 Ford Econoline
3:29
it's just of a hand it's not a fancy
3:32
sprinter it's nothing fancy and because
3:36
I had no prior skill I went in and I
3:40
pulled out the seats and I pulled out
3:42
the side stuff and use the tools the
3:47
power tools and put down a floor and it
3:50
has a bed and a desk first of all I knew
3:55
a lot of credit you know I think I do
3:58
what a lot of people do and I say that
4:00
men do that women don't right men take
4:03
your tools out and and and clearly
4:07
that's not true and that is a stereotype
4:09
that really should not be out there and
4:11
it's part of the whole super boomer
4:12
thing I mean you have your tools you did
4:15
this I kind of wish I'd asked you to
4:17
bring a picture on so that I could show
4:19
this picture of you and the band but as
4:22
we said you're not in the van right now
4:23
you are back home but that doesn't
4:25
mean that we can't talk about this
4:27
because we can talk about working from
4:29
anywhere and that is very appropriate
4:32
for this time that we're in so you talk
4:34
about being productive on purpose what
4:38
does that mean right it's one thing to
4:41
be productive and and have all your
4:43
system set up and know how to get your
4:47
stuff done but if you're doing a whole
4:49
bunch and hang up stuff that doesn't
4:52
light you up it's not going to be
4:54
fulfilling there's there's no amount of
4:57
achievement that will make up for having
5:00
that fulfillment within yourself and I'm
5:02
speaking from experience there so it's
5:06
the on purpose part that really we have
5:09
a word that you I don't know if you made
5:11
it up but I think you did and its
5:13
purpose tivity right that just kind of
5:17
frames almost everything that you do
5:18
let's talk about that what does that
5:20
mean exactly
5:21
purpose tivity actually is the name of
5:24
my second book and its purpose tivity is
5:27
the feminine face of productivity okay
5:30
because it really is about finding out
5:34
what really matters and then putting
5:36
your time and your attention toward what
5:39
really matters for you and the
5:42
assumption is that you're here you're
5:45
unique and in that the things that
5:49
matter to you are divinely intentional
5:52
so go there I love that I love that so
5:56
in line with that you have this this
5:59
game that you came up with I don't even
6:03
like calling it a game because it's
6:05
almost like life it's a life thing and
6:09
it's called path so I know that you have
6:12
it with you too I'm gonna have you do
6:15
that right mark there's a camera there's
6:18
the box there's the box so what I've
6:22
done in this game is I've mapped
6:26
different areas of business success onto
6:29
the ecosystem because a lot of the folks
6:32
that I work with in my business right
6:34
are great at their thing right but they
6:38
don't know anything
6:39
Oh business right and half the time they
6:42
don't want you but when you can take and
6:45
say oh here's an image that's about
6:49
mountains that's about your big picture
6:52
it's time to climb a new mountains got
6:55
pictures about forests
6:57
oh that's about the forest and the trees
6:59
go get your stuff done for today and
7:02
then the river is all about the flow of
7:06
your own essence in your business and
7:08
these are all pictures from my
7:10
motorcycle travels so is that how this
7:13
developed when you were out on the road
7:15
I mean how how did this come to be I had
7:19
already been doing this integrative
7:21
coaching around your strategy your
7:24
systems and yourself because all three
7:27
of those have to work or either your
7:29
business isn't gonna make money or
7:30
you're gonna burn out and we don't want
7:32
people burning out yeah so I've been
7:34
doing that and then I got this idea to
7:38
invent a game so that people could learn
7:41
about the business side of things and in
7:45
inventing the game I went back to all my
7:49
pictures from my motorcycle blogging and
7:51
my first book the art of adventure so
7:54
that I could use those to express
7:57
visually what most people don't get when
8:00
they're if they're not word oriented
8:02
people the pictures work pictures work
8:04
and and some people are visual that way
8:06
some people are operate by words I
8:09
happen to be a word girl but but
8:11
certainly I understand the whole idea of
8:14
the visual I put a link up on on the the
8:17
show right now Karen joy Fritz com
8:20
forward slash path and if they go there
8:23
what are they gonna find you'll find a
8:25
description of the game and if you're
8:27
interested in ordering yourself a copy
8:29
or just talking with me about it perhaps
8:31
playing online like this we can sure do
8:34
that so I know that you're actually
8:36
doing house parties I am see now that's
8:39
part of making my business and portable
8:43
so I can do it from the road exactly so
8:46
that leads us right into some tips about
8:49
how to work in
8:51
we're now clearly I'm an online girl I I
8:54
can work from anywhere and I do and I
8:56
have my as long as I have my trusty
8:57
webcam and my laptop or even my phone
9:00
for that matter
9:01
I can work from anywhere but let's give
9:04
some tips out to our viewing audience on
9:07
how can you work from anywhere we're not
9:10
suggesting you get in a van well that's
9:12
not what this is about right it's not
9:14
about getting an event you can if you
9:16
want to but maybe you want to be in a
9:18
Motorhome maybe you just want to go take
9:19
a trip around the world and again maybe
9:21
not right now but you were give us some
9:24
tips right you know even if you want to
9:26
go to a town and go to an air B&B all
9:30
right
9:30
first tip I would say is try to stay in
9:34
each place for at least a month right if
9:38
you're really really like moving through
9:40
stuff at least a week but you can in
9:43
advance you can go on Meetup and find
9:46
out where your people are hanging out in
9:48
that area go meet the people and then
9:52
you have a little bit of time to
9:54
actually create connections and have the
9:57
coffee dates and so on so that you're
10:00
actually building a loop and next year
10:04
right I was down in Texas this year and
10:07
the next year I'll be able to go back
10:09
and have that basis right and I can
10:12
expand from you have a bigger backyard
10:14
now right right
10:16
no in a bigger backyard and I love that
10:19
all right what's tip number two tip
10:21
number two is as you build out your
10:25
digital support system right you can't
10:28
be hauling paper around the favorite day
10:32
planner the client files all the things
10:35
you have to have those digital but make
10:38
sure you're using tools that fit your
10:43
personality style again it's not an
10:46
accident that you need to overcome if
10:48
you're a visual person use visual
10:50
digital tools those apps are out there
10:53
they are
10:54
if you're a people person there are apps
10:56
organized around your contacts and who
10:59
you love so make sure you make it fit so
11:02
you're telling us too
11:04
go on our phone or mobile app mobile
11:06
device or something even your computer
11:09
for that your laptop and Google sub a
11:13
tool and then it's pretty simple that
11:15
you you know start googling and cigs
11:16
find something that works for you
11:18
whether it's a inva is a visual app and
11:22
you can do it right on your phone you
11:24
can make beautiful memes and beautiful
11:26
photographs and you can share them out
11:28
you can they do do is now on canva did
11:30
you know that yeah very cool
11:32
so that's a great tip don't haul paper
11:35
around I love that yeah
11:37
okay this one applies to both your
11:40
digital things and your stuff stuff the
11:45
key is always put things where you'll be
11:48
able to find them all right it's it's
11:52
self care for your future self I love I
11:56
I hate that feeling of oh my god where'd
11:59
I put that or digging through is it in
12:02
this box is it in that box even in my
12:05
van
12:06
I had a few boxes that slid under my bed
12:09
right this one is my kitchen box this is
12:12
my cold clothes this is my hot clothes
12:14
this is and knowing that when I took
12:18
something off or when I was done with
12:19
something it went back into the box
12:21
where I'd be able to find it again
12:23
first of all it kept the clutter down
12:26
and in a really small space that matters
12:29
but it also kept my stress level down
12:32
because I never had that oh where is it
12:35
did I leave it at some rest stop and
12:38
that this is this is for anybody quite
12:40
frankly you always put things where you
12:42
can find them and I'm I'm a you know
12:44
I've moved several times in the last
12:46
several years and I purged I purged
12:48
everything so that now I know where
12:50
things are because I don't have a lot of
12:52
things anymore so this is a really great
12:55
tip whether you're doing the van life
12:57
whether you are working from anywhere or
13:00
just working from your house right
13:02
always put things where you can find
13:04
them great tip great tip anything else
13:07
in terms of working and and live
13:10
in a you know I have another one that it
13:13
really is like I can only give her three
13:14
no I got so here's the other one is all
13:20
the maintenance level stuff should do
13:24
itself so all of my bills are on auto
13:29
pay all of my deposits are auto
13:32
deposited like that's maintenance level
13:35
stuff I cannot have to be home to go get
13:38
the mail right to go to the bank right
13:41
so all that stuff happens I never have
13:44
to worry like oh my gosh did I forget to
13:47
pay the the the Comcast bill or whatever
13:50
port and it's done it takes care of
13:53
itself my email files itself I love it
13:58
so you have folders at Ottoman you have
13:59
love folders and filters like the
14:02
maintenance level stuff does itself
14:05
anything I can automate I do and then I
14:09
look at delegate but first make the
14:12
computer do the work so did you know
14:14
that the US Postal Service has a
14:17
platform now that you can get an email
14:19
every single day telling you what email
14:21
has arrived and what packages have
14:22
arrived I didn't know that until they
14:24
just made this move and I accidentally
14:27
signed up for it I didn't even know I
14:28
signed up for it I signed up for
14:30
everything and all of a sudden I started
14:32
getting these emails every single day
14:34
telling me that this is what's coming
14:35
and if you don't get it let us know so
14:38
that's that that's right in alignment
14:40
with that these are amazing tips it
14:42
makes me kind of you know want to get
14:44
out there when I when we can and do some
14:48
of this stuff this is this is great why
14:52
do you do this what's your why you know
14:56
part of it is my creative impulse and
15:02
comes from diverse and novel input so
15:07
travel to me gives me the food to be
15:11
able to give back right it fills me up
15:14
with different things that I can connect
15:16
and then be able to share with other
15:19
people like making a game out of
15:21
pictures of rivers right
15:23
who would how many people right people
15:27
have looked at those rivers forever
15:28
right bazillions of people have looked
15:31
at the same thing but what I see is
15:34
sometimes different yes perspective
15:37
right right
15:39
so for me it's always been for whatever
15:43
journey I've been on whether it's been a
15:46
physical journey or an inner journey or
15:48
a spiritual journey it always comes back
15:51
to you how do I apply it and how then
15:55
shall we live even if I have this inner
15:58
calm or I've done this work or cleaned
16:02
up this part nice but how then shall we
16:07
live right what do I bring back to my
16:10
larger community because that
16:12
transformation has taken place and again
16:15
goes back to living life on purpose yes
16:17
which is exactly what we've been talking
16:20
about do you have a superpower I do my
16:25
superpower is the ability to see
16:28
patterns in chaos interesting right yes
16:33
just happens to be how this brain works
16:36
I can look at anything from the clouds
16:40
and see pictures in the clouds and then
16:42
to look at the way somebody's belief
16:46
system is wired and go oh they think
16:49
they're in chaos but look here's the
16:52
pattern and if we take that pattern and
16:55
we pull this string the pattern let's go
16:59
so that something more authentic can
17:01
emerge everyone needs a Karen Fritz is
17:04
okay that that can help you live on
17:07
purpose and and and put things in focus
17:10
I just love everything that you're
17:12
talking about if you're if you want to
17:14
follow Karen which you should follow
17:16
Karen you can check out her Facebook
17:19
page at facebook.com or FB calm for it
17:23
slash purpose tivity I just love that
17:25
word then also we had this up earlier
17:28
but you can check out her website and
17:32
path is Karen joy fritz calm for it
17:34
slash path and I know that you have
17:36
something that you're giving away as
17:38
well and that is if they go to Karen joy
17:42
frits calm for its last burnout what are
17:45
they going to get what I've done is to
17:48
look at what happens to people when
17:51
they're not getting that fulfillment
17:53
piece hmm big burnout right and
17:58
sometimes it's because they were on the
18:00
wrong direction to begin with sometimes
18:03
it was because they're here they
18:06
imagined a business they built the
18:07
business but in the building they grew
18:10
and now they're bigger
18:12
yeah and they need to dream again yeah
18:14
so I put together this comic book I have
18:17
blast building it out right but it's a
18:20
comic book that looks at how this
18:22
burnout happens and nine different ways
18:26
using Enneagram types to find your
18:29
portal into how do i reinvent what what
18:33
is it that helps me to see my pattern so
18:36
that I can go to my next best self I

talk about those the thing that that
20:28
struck me as something that I want to
20:31
remember from the show and it has to do
20:33
with living life on purpose
20:34
i I think that when we forget that we
20:38
stray we wonder we don't have a goal we
20:42
don't have a direction we don't know
20:43
what we're doing and when you have your
20:46
purpose and you're living your life on
20:47
purpose and and as I have gotten older
20:50
and as as I my purpose has changed
20:53
clearly my purpose has changed but I do
20:55
live my life on purpose because why
20:58
bother
20:59
if you're not going to do that and so I
21:00
want to thank Karen for sharing that
21:02
moment with us and also if you're going
21:05
to be on the road and you're going to be
21:07
doing this out there I'm going to
21:09
encourage you to go out and get a webcam
21:11
for God's sake because in order to do
21:14
some of this stuff and on your laptop
21:15
and things you need to have a way to
21:17
have a decent picture this is the webcam
21:19
that I use the Logitech HD you can find
21:22
it on the super boomer lifestyle calm or
21:25
you can find it anywhere
21:27
but get yourself a webcam or use your
21:29
cell phone if you want that's good too
21:31
