Shameless Self-Promotional Saturday
My friend Carl Richards has a saying that I always butcher—he says something to the extent:
“if you believe the work you do has the ability to change someone’s life, you have an obligation to share it with the world.”
I first share Carl’s quote with you to encourage you to believe in your work, your passion, and your craft and share it with the world—you don’t know how it might change someone’s life, so you too have an obligation to share it with the world. Rick Rubin would tell you it’s not your job to determine if and how your work will change the world, it’s up to the world to determine that—so just put it out!
The second reason I share the quote is I do believe the work I’m doing to bring awareness to and help people connect their spirit, mind, body, and money on the Pursuit of their authentic life will change lives—it already has, so I have an obligation to make sure readers of the Daily Notes are aware of everything I’m creating and doing. It’s exciting to see the Daily Notes audience continue to grow—thank you for allowing me to be a part of your daily rounding and welcome to those newer subscribers, I thought today would be an appropriate day to make sure you are aware of everything I’m currently doing that pertains to the connection of spirit, mind, body, and money and the authentic life.
You may not need more than the Daily Notes now, but you might in the future and I want you to know where to find it all.
THE DAILY NOTES
It’s safe to assume you already know about the Daily Notes, but if this happens to be the first note you come across each morning I write a short note that has something to do with the connection of spirit, mind, body, and money, the authentic life, and sometimes creativity.
The notes are written each morning after I get Leo on the bus at 7:15 and before Roman and Silas start to get ready around 8:00. I come in each morning with nothing pre-written, sometimes I have a topic in mind but most days the topic for the note finds me just in time to sit down and write.
It’s almost like I am receiving a download each morning to bring to the Daily Notes—as a Creator, it’s an amazing experience.
ON OUR PRST PODCAST
The On Our PRST podcast consists of two shows:
On Our PRST. This show is the typical interview-style podcast where I interview individuals who have pursued their passions, are living their authentic life, and are willing to share what they’ve learned along their Pursuit to help listeners. I also plan to expand my guests to include individuals who are experts in fields that will help listeners live their authentic lives. The cadence of OOP tends to be a little inconsistent due to scheduling guests but my goal is to have at least two episodes a month.
Beyond The Notes. This is a newer show that airs every Friday afternoon. This is a solo show, meaning it’s just me and in each episode, I break down each of The Daily Notes from that week. After I hit publish I naturally have additional thoughts that come to mind to share or I want to provide a little more context as to why the note was important for me to write.
Both shows on the On Our PRST podcast can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the rest of the well-known podcast players. They also can be found on YouTube as well. If you haven’t subscribed or left a review, I’d love your help in bringing the shows to more people and the algorithms love listener and viewer feedback 🙏.
YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Speaking of the YouTube channel…as I mentioned all of the podcast shows can be seen on YouTube in addition to clips from the shows, Shorts created throughout the week, any guest appearances I may make, and additional short-form videos I create like the PRST Shorts documentary series.
RLS WEALTH
The final place I’m bringing spirit, mind, body, money, and the Pursuit of the authentic life is to RLS Wealth, my financial planning firm. The only relationship available to new clients is called LifeDesign+, which is an intense relationship with monthly meetings, a dashboard to complete each day, and the incorporation of your financial plan into your authentic life, once it’s been found. I’m really excited to see LifeDesign™ begin to get traction as more individuals progress in their Pursuit to needing that type of relationship with a financial advisor. If you find your Self there now, feel free to reach out to set up a time to see if it’s a good fit!
PRST™
Earlier this year I decided to bring the PRST™ brand to the background as I focused more on creating through my own personal brand. But, the PRST™ brand is still there and will be where any non-financial advisory resource, tools, and products created will live. This is also where the PRST™ lifestyle brand will be found when I bring that back in the future.
Currently, on the PRST™ website you can find:
The free PRST™ Daily Planner download
The free PRST™ Content Manuscript download
A free 5-day guided meditation to help connect spirit, mind, body, and money
There will be more to come this summer, so stay tuned…
SOCIAL MEDIA
I share any content created in various ways on Instagram (@jus10_castelli), LinkedIn (JustinCastelli), and Twitter (@jus10castelli) and spend less time engaging with people on those platforms—I give myself 30 minutes daily to comment on the three platforms.
And that’s it—that’s everything and everywhere I’m trying to help you connect your spirit, mind, body, and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life. No matter how you prefer to consume content, I’ve got you covered and only plan to add more depth to everything you see above.
This might seem like a lot of work, and it is, but in my nearly 8 years of creating content (starting back with my blog and podcast All About Your Benjamins) it has never been easier or more enjoyable. As I mentioned, The Daily Notes come to me each morning almost like a download and the rest of the content builds from those ideas.
Working towards helping more people live their authentic life is a big part of MY authentic life and all of the work I’m doing towards that mission is my passion—it doesn’t feel like work, I’d continue to do it even if no one was reading or listening, and I’d do it for free (which is pretty much the case for now 😁).
I have one final ask for you (after the subscribe and review ask)—if you know someone who is struggling with the current path they are on, are unhappy, or think would benefit from reading The Daily Notes or any of the other work I’m doing, would you forward a Note to them or just tell them to check them out? I believe in the work and I will keep creating and doing it and I believe it will eventually find its way to people who need it, but if you could speed that process up for a friend, I’d greatly appreciate it—and I think they will too.
🙏
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
