Play Basketball With Obama (And Cross ANYTHING Off Your Bucket List) with MTV’s “The Buried Life”

Most of us have a “bucket list:” A list of all the things we want to do before we die.

But the question is how do we ACTUALLY go about crossing them off? I mean, there’s so many things to do and so many barriers — it’s easy to feel stuck. Meanwhile, our bucket list just sits there as ideas and plans that never actually happen.

That’s where “The Buried Life” comes in.

Four guys from Victoria, B.C., Canada decided to go on a two-week road trip to film a movie about themselves trying to cross off as many things as possible from their bucket list. There wasn’t really a plan; they were just going to do what they could.

Crazy enough, that road trip never ended. And they went from leading a parade to playing basketball with President Obama, delivering a baby, crashing the Playboy Mansion, kissing the Stanley Cup, writing a bestselling book, and getting a TV show on MTV.

I think it’s safe to say they got really good at accomplishing their dreams.

In this interview, I chat with Ben Nemtin of MTV’s “The Buried Life” to share exactly how he and The Buried Life crew manages to cross anything off their bucket list.

• Learn the proven six-step process that guides The Buried Life to make their dreams come true. The steps are simple but deadly — even after all these years, they still follow this system.
• Listen to how they think of failure and reframe it so that it’s actually something that BENEFITS you and, thus, makes you more likely to take action.
• Find out what they think about before they take the first step in something that’s scary (like streaking across a stadium) — and why that first step is so important.
• Hear what Ben and The Buried Life uses to motivate them (hint: it’s sobering but extremely effective).
• And, of course, learn the one thing you can do RIGHT NOW to start crossing anything off your bucket list, no matter how daunting it seems.

If you want to face your fears and cross off your bucket list, trust me, you’ll love this interview.
