Summary

Today I am stoked to be bringing back one of my favorite podcasters and personal inspirations for me starting my own podcast, Jonathan Fields. Some of you may remember him from episode #44. Jonathan is the creator of all kinds of mission driven media including his podcast which features all kinds of heart driven guests speaking about the many aspects that make up a good life. You can even catch a small section where I am featured on his podcast here. It's been a couple years since he has been on my pod so I was delighted to talk to him about his latest book and get his sage advice on anything going on in my life as a super wise mentor in my life. He emphasizes what I am trying to practice most these days -- living a balanced life. You will hear us talk about how when we focus too much on one 'bucket' or area of life it often will never change. I've personally found this true on so many levels as I continue to grow and heal in my own life. He also gave me some some really helpful insight around my big recent struggle of feeling like 'a jack of all trades, master of none'. Let us know what you thought of this episode tweet at us @jonathanfields & @katiedalebout. Or hop on over to the Facebook Group and ask them there. I'd be happy to pass any questions to Jonathan along to him and I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback around this episode.

There are many folks who genuinely just love being involved in pursuing many different things.

At the same time, I have two concerns.

One is, I also have seen more than once people use that label as a way to hide from committing to one thing that they really want to be doing

and not being able to be as adept at it as they hope and dream of being and using that as an excuse

to never step into a place where they actually see what they're capable of.

Hi, welcome back to Let It Out, hosted by me, Katie Dale Bout. Today on the podcast, like every

1:16.7

week, I talk to someone who is fascinating and inspiring and just a really interesting guy,

1:23.8

Jonathan Fields, who you just heard from in the little intro quote. I picked that one out

1:28.8

out of this episode as one that really hit me hard. He was talking about being multi-passionate

1:36.2

or feeling like a jack-of-all-trades, master of none, which is something that I've been

1:41.1

feeling like lately and have been kind of asking every podcast guest about.

1:46.1

And his answer to this question in particular is one of the things from this episode that

1:50.6

really stands out to me as something, like I said, hit me hard. It was very eye-opening to me

1:58.0

and something that I've really taken with me from this episode that I am

2:02.7

thinking about more and talking about. I'm telling everyone about this little insight I gleaned from

2:08.0

this episode. So there's way more where that came from in this podcast episode. And I know that you

2:14.1

will love Jonathan Fields as much as I do. For some of you who've been listening

2:18.5

for a very long time, Jonathan is one of my first guests. He came on the first season of the show

2:25.3

back in 2013 and his podcast, Good Life Project, was one of my inspirations for starting this

2:32.3

podcast. He is such a great interviewer, and in this

2:36.2

podcast, he's a great interviewee. He just had a book come out. I said that so much in a radio
