Getting to the Heart of what Matters, with Bridget Hilton

Behind the Armor

We’re back with another inspiring episode of Behind the Armor, this time diving deep into the heart of what matters with guest Bridget Hilton. From growing up in Flint, Michigan with dreams of being a rock star to founding revolutionary sound company, LSTN—Bridget has always been a pioneer. For today’s conversation, Judd sits down with Bridget to talk all things authenticity, the power of a simple change, and how we can all work to get to the heart of what actually matters in life.

Lessons from the Episode:

1. Sit and Think: So often we’re going so full speed ahead in life that we don’t actually take the time to sit and reflect on what matters most. Take the time to answer that question for yourself, it could change your life.

2. Do Something Bigger: This will look different for each of us, but it’s important to remember that life is more than building our own war chests, it’s about leaving something bigger behind for those who will come after us. What "something bigger” are you working to create today?

3. See the Miracles: There are miracles to be seen all around us, not just in the big events of life. Like Bridget witnessing the simple miracle of someone hearing for the first time, choose to see the everyday miracles that are present all around you.

4. Experiences over Material Possessions: The older we get, the more we realize life is not about how much stuff we collect, but rather about the experiences and people we get to interact with. Don’t let the accumulation of stuff or wealth get in the way of prioritizing those authentic experiences and relationships.

5. Don’t let Loneliness Win: We’re lonelier now than maybe ever before, even though we’re more connected. Work to build authentic connections in your personal life, rather than just relying on online friends or followers. Who you surround yourself with matters so much more than you know.
