58 分钟So imagine stepping out of your day to day life and just dropping yourself into a gorgeous 130 acre natural playground for three and a half days of learning and laughing and moving your body and calming your brain and reconnecting with people who just see the world the way that you do and accept you completely as you are.
So that's what we've created with our camp good life project or camp GLP experience.
We've actually brought together a lineup of really inspiring teachers, from art to entrepreneurship, from writing to meditation, pretty much everything in between.
It's this beautiful way to fill your noggin with ideas to live and work better, and a really rare opportunity to create the type of friendships and stories you pretty much thought you'd left behind decades ago.
It's all happening at the end of August, just about 90 minutes from New York City, and we're well on our way to selling out spots at this point.
So be sure to grab your spot as soon as you can.

It's more important to me to not have stress than it is to make a few thousand more dollars.
So today's guest, Ruben Chavez, did what he often does when, and what many of us often do when actually we're going through times of struggle.
We turn to books to learn from things, teachers and the seekers who've gone before us and to dive into their wisdom.
And he was going through a particularly rough time, so he started to do that.
And at the same time, he kind of stumbled upon this app, Instagram.
Many of you, I'm sure, know it.
And he used it first, just privately to catalog the thoughts, the ideas that he was seeing so that he could kind of collect them in one place and add a little bit of a visual element to reflect on them.
He decided at a certain point to turn that account public.
And what happened was pretty stunning.
Matter of a few short years, the following on that account grew to over a million people.
As I record this, it's about 1.7 million people.
And he's also added other accounts as well, and then turned around and actually found a way to turn his love of growing and reading and learning into a venture that allows him to live very comfortably in the world.
So how he actually did that, the journey behind it, why he became deeply fascinated, and how he's built community and the idea of leveraging something as simple as an app to actually grow a company and then make a sustainable living while doing something you really enjoy and that fills you up and you would have done anyway.
