#71: Alfie Robertson: Life Design Matters More Than Chasing $100m (Or Do Both)

Listen to this episode from The Pocket with Chris Griffin on Spotify. Welcome to episode 71 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin. We are welcoming back to the show Alfie Robertson today. Alfie was featured on episode 1 of The Pocket and fun fact, our friend group was the reason The Pocket became the name of this show. That’s a story for another day. You’ve probably seen this guy on your instagram screen every day for the past 18 months. Alfie went from working a 9 to 5 job in climate consulting, drinking on weekends, to now, where he’s running a wildly successful online business, impacting thousands, and building one of the fastest-growing personal brands in the world. In this episode, we speak about the cost of growth, the identity shifts that come with real change, and why most people never break free from the cycles holding them back. Key Discussion Points: Giving up alcohol and choosing discomfort Why belief is more powerful than strategy Building a brand instead of being an influencer Leaving your old identity behind The mindset shift that made him unstoppable Follow Alfie: https://www.instagram.com/alfiegetshard/ Join Amplify: https://applytoamplify.com/apply Follow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/ Thank you to Switch Nutrition View my Chris Griffin Collection Page below to grab some of the products that I love and take daily.
