Author: Shane Sams June 6, 2015 Duration: 6:14
In today's Q&A, we are talking about what we do in our free time when we're not working on our online business. Do you have a question you want answered on our podcast? We would love to help you! Click here to ask your question! [Tweet "Don't let life pass you by while you're trying to build a better future."] Resources Mentioned in this Episode Chris Ducker's Tropical Think Tank The Flip Your LifeCommunity Let's dive into this week's question! JOCELYN: Hey y'all! You're listening to a Q and A with S and J. SHANE: Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us each week as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: What's going on guys? Welcome back to another Q and A with S and J. This is a special episode, we are going to have a few of these. We are on an airplane right now at 30,000 feet. JOCELYN: And we are trying to not fall asleep because we need to stay awake until we get to our destination so we thought we would answer some of your questions. SHANE: We are going to the Philippines to Chris Ducker's tropical think tank, thanking him right now and we have been awake for 24 hours. This has been a long, long trip and we got a couple more hours to go and we've got to stay awake so we thought, you know what better start than to answer a bunch of Q and As and how cool is it that we are doing this from an airplane. You can probably hear the engines rolling in the back. So today's questions comes from Chad and Amy and they write, "Hey S and J, it sounds like you guys work on your online business all the time." that is true. Pretty much we do a lot of it. "What do you do when you are not 'flipping lives' and working together in your online business? What do you each like to do for fun and fun together?" JOCELYN: Hey Chad and Amy, thank you for your question. We have actually been thinking about talking more about than we normally do and so if that's something you guys want to hear then be sure to ask us more questions about our lives. We don't mind to share with you. We actually have a lot of different interest. We do work on our online business a lot because that is a very passionate interest of both of ours. SHANE: We both actually have a lot of doing this so is kind of one of the things we do to enjoy. JOCELYN: But we also enjoy other things as well. I like to go jogging. I have a jogging partner that we train for races sometimes and that I something I really enjoy doing. I also, ironically, enjoy cooking so that sort of cancels each other out, right? SHANE: Jocelyn and I really don't do a lot of individual things together because we like different kinds of movies, different kinds of shows, all of that so we really don't do stuff like that together. I do like to play video games. I am 37 years old but I play video games. When I play video games I got a core group of guys that I play with, my brother and two of my best friends going way back from when I was a kid and just a way for us to get together. We are all busy, we got kids and we can get on there for about an hour and a half on Monday night and just kind of hang out and chill and have some fun. I also like to watch wrestling. I love professional wrestling. I like to read all the message boards and the news and the rumors. And one of my best friends who is also an online business, he is a huge wrestling fan so we talk about wrestling probably way too much during the day where we should be actually working on our online businesses. But those are some things we like to do. We both love to go to the gym. I love to lift weight. I don't run. Jocelyn tries to get me to run but I only run when I am being chased. That's what I would say. But I do love to go lift weights but I love to swim too. JOCELYN: But most of all We really enjoy working ...

Hosted by Shane Sams, the Flipped Lifestyle™ Podcast is a conversation about building a business that actually fits around your life, rather than the other way around. It’s born from the real-world experience of Shane and his wife Jocelyn, a family who created a million-dollar income entirely online. They focus on the practical mechanics of selling digital products and running membership sites-essentially, creating valuable information and community that people are willing to pay for. This isn't abstract theory; each episode digs into the systems, mindsets, and sometimes surprising tactics that worked for them as they built a location-independent career. You’ll hear candid discussions on the challenges of shifting from a traditional job to a self-directed online venture, managing family dynamics alongside business growth, and the ongoing work of sustaining success. The aim is to provide actionable insights for anyone feeling stuck in a conventional routine and dreaming of a "flipped" reality where work supports life on their own terms. Tune in for a straightforward, often humorous look at the entrepreneurial journey from a couple who is still actively living it, sharing their lessons so you can chart your own course.
