Uncommon Man 1: The Origin of Lifestyle Design with Dr. Jared Roth

Uncommon Freedom

What if you could design your life with the same intentionality architects use to design buildings? That's the powerful premise behind Jared Roth's approach to "life architecture," which he shares in this milestone 100th episode of the Uncommon Freedom Show.
Jared brings wisdom from his remarkable three-track career as a vocational minister, university professor, and business coach. Having started a church at 23, directed an MBA program, and helped grow businesses (including one that sold for $44 million), he offers a unique perspective on living with purpose across multiple domains.
The conversation explores how we've evolved from basic time management to role management and finally to comprehensive life architecture. Jared shares his framework for identifying your major life roles, prioritizing what matters most, and creating a blueprint that encompasses all dimensions of a flourishing life.
"You may see me hurry, but you will never see me harried," Jared explains, revealing how he maintains harmony across professional achievements and personal responsibilities. He provides practical strategies for making your life plan adaptable through regular refreshes, monthly audits, and intentional flexibility. Far from being rigid, true life architecture creates space for both structure and spontaneity.
Perhaps most profound is Jared's guidance on mentorship and coaching. His greatest regret? Not accessing the wisdom around him more frequently throughout his journey. He explains what great mentors look for (alignment and diligence) and why coaching relationships accelerate personal transformation better than isolated self-improvement efforts.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder that a meaningful life doesn't happen by accident. As Jared quotes, "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."
