#064 – Alex Judd on Creating Keystone Habits, Why Authenticity Isn’t a Tactic, and Living a Life Larger Than Yourself

Have you ever had a conversation with someone when you’re just blown away by all the powerful insights that come up while you both are talking? This week’s episode is that type of conversation. Hallie and I are joined by Alex Judd, founder of Path for Growth and the former host of Dave Ramsey’s EntreLeadership podcast – he’s an individual who completely embodies personal growth through business success. Alex drops so many key leadership lessons in this episode – warning, you’re going to want to take notes as you’re listening. Together, we unpack what self-leadership means, discuss a few of the keystone habits that make a huge difference, why discipline equals freedom, and being vs. doing. We also get the scoop on Alex’s love of chips and salsa, and how it snowballed into a full-fledged obsession. 

In this episode, you will learn about:

  • A few of the keystone habits that make a huge difference to our energy and productivity
  • Why discipline equals freedom, and both Alex’s and my perspectives on it
  • Being vs. doing and what that looks like for both of us
  • Alex shares his morning routine, and how it grounds him and sets him up with energy and focus for the day

[4:16] Alex has a deep love for chips and salsa, and has taken his passion into judging contests, allowing him to sample salsa from all around the world!

[5:38] When people look like they are having fun, it translates on social media (and life in general) and we are more easily drawn to them.

[7:58] Authenticity and vulnerability are not tactics. The minute you have to try hard to be real is when authenticity escapes you.

[9:52] For Alex, it was a difficult yet powerful exercise to switch from the things he is going to do, and instead focus on the person he wanted to be.

[13:14] When you connect to “being” rather than doing, you get a true sense of purpose and taking action becomes more clear.

[26:06] Alex’s morning routine includes an early wake-up time, followed by some grounding, exercise, mindfulness, and setting his purpose and intention for the day. 

[27:49] One habit can have a huge change. Start with a habit that forces you to lift your eyes above the horizon. Discipline actually helps us have freedom because we aren’t chained to our moods or emotional whims.

[36:07] The most powerful leader is one that isn’t chained to a specific outcome.

[47:10] There is a difference between self-improvement vs. selfish improvement.
