LL 001: Interview with Jacob Sokol

by Matt Leave a Comment

In the first ever session of the Live Limitless podcast I chat with Jacob Sokol of Sensophy.com.

Jacob Sokol writes for his amazing blog, Sensophy.com, where he inspires people to find their passions and live an extraordinary life. Jacob quit his lucrative job in New York City, travelled the world, became a life coach, and is about to launch a super cool online conference on April 22nd. He also accepted a challenge from a reader and ended up going to a New York Jets game with Gary Vaynerchuk.

Welcome to Live Limitless

Welcome to Live Limitless.

For those who are new to the game, this site used to be called A World of Inspiration. It was a fun site based mainly around travel and it introduced me to a lot of people who I now call friends.

At the same time, I was never truly in love with that title. Since a blog like this tends to blend in with it’s “writer’s” personality, I felt I needed to come up with something that means a lot more to me.

A World of Inspiration sounded just a little too oprah-ish.

A world of inspiration

Then one night when I was talking to my fiancé, she began to ask what I was like before I met her.

See, she met me in late 2008, just before I left to Australia on my first solo 6-month trip. Before that, and especially prior to 2004, I was a middle-class kid growing up in an oil-rich town in Northern Alberta.

Everyone around me made six figures and it was easy. I grew up basically knowing my salary would be over $100,000 with little to no schooling and my dreams consisted of following the joneses and buying a big house, a truck, a cool car, a boat, a snow-mobile, a quad, and taking part in those pre-fabricated all-inclusive holidays that many people were enjoying at the time.

That’s really it. Nothing wrong with it I suppose but then something changed. I began to think bigger. I wondered what it would be like if I didn’t work for oil companies like everyone else. I wondered what it would be like to really discover my strengths and talents and do something more remarkable. Something so cool that a book could be written about it. What would happen if I just left my town and setup shop somewhere else? Could I do something like that?
