1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: I get a team, ID your bloody terrific yesterday or

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: the other day or whenever you heard it. If you

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: heard it young Kelly Smith, who's a I guess I

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: could say fan of the show, listener of the show.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: And Kel and I intersect at the gym. We high five,

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: we say a low to each other. We're not besties,

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: but we're certainly acquainted, and I think I can safely

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: say we like each other. And Kel said, when I

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: was doing a Q and a kind of call out,

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: could I come on and ask some questions? And I said, fuck, yeah,

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: saves me hosting. So she's put up her hand to host,

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: and she's back with me, Hi, Kel, Hi, Craig. It

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: feels only like a few minutes ago.

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: We were doing this momentarily momentarily interesting though. I was

15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: kind of putting my hand up to ask other people's questions.

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: And then you said, give me fifteen and you can

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 2: come and interview me. And I thought, challenge, accepted, let's go,

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: well that that.

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Is absolutely true you wanted to ask, and I went, well,

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: fuck it, you're pretty clever. I reckon you should, and

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: as I said last episode, I love what you've done.

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: These questions are really good, and I will say that

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: we're probably okay. I was excessively for both. So we're

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: going to do another five questions. We'll try and get

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: through them. I don't think you listeners mine though, but

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Melissa mins Melsa, She's like, can you do them a

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: little bit shorter? So yesterday we're not going to go

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: through them again. But we spoke about a range of

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: different stuff like any single messages that are on point

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: in the fitness industry and ones that are missing the point.

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: And we spoke about why perhaps I'm more open and

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: vulnerable these days. And we also spoke about what I've

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: learned over the last ten years, what's been the biggest

34
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: takeaways or lessons, And also we chatted a bit about

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: my PhD. But question one for today is question six

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: on your list, kel and what is that question?

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: This question is and it goes back to what we've

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: previously mentioned, but what is it within yourself that has

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: led you towards what could be described as a life

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: of service?

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good that's a good question. So do

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: you know what There's one thing that I hesitate to

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: talk about because I feel like I'm being disrespectful to

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: part of my journey and some people who are still

45
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: in a place that I'm not really that much in.

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: And that is my kind of my my theological background,

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: like my my you know, I grew up in a

48
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: Catholic church, but then I went and I spent quite

49
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: a quite more than a few years in other what

50
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: we would call fundamental Christian churches, very very biblically focused,

51
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: and I spent a lot of time reading, studying, you know,

52
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: basically Genesis to Revelation, first book in the Old Testament

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: through the last book in the New Testament and everything

54
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: in between, and trying to understand that I always had

55
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: a I always had what do I call it a

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: God curiosity, and I had a faith of sorts, but

57
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: it didn't it was kind of incomplete. I didn't really know,

58
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, what that meant, but I did I wanted to, like,

59
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: for me, part of my deep dive into any kind

60
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: of faith or spiritual kind of path was really trying

61
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: to connect with something bigger than me, which you know,

62
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: some people call God, some people call the divine, some

63
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: people call like you know that kind of you know,

64
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: mystical not magical, but you know, insight, wisdom, you know,

65
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: the conduit to that that's bigger and better me. So

66
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: for me, you know, realizing that, like there was a

67
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: lot I didn't like about me when I was young,

68
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: and we've spoken about that, but I felt like when

69
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: I was in that that that kind of searching space,

70
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: that spiritual searching space, I actually liked me more because

71
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: I was less selfish and and less less about yeah,

72
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: less less about Craig. And I've always felt like the

73
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: more my life isn't about me, right, the more I'm

74
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: not focused on me. Yes, I need to I need

75
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: to eat, and I need to have a job and

76
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: make money, and I need to make sure that, you know,

77
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: there needs to be a level of focus on myself

78
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: so that I can manage me so that I'm good

79
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: for others. But I've always felt through that period, that

80
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: church period and beyond that I'm a better person when

81
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: I've got a purpose bigger than me and so that, Yeah,

82
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: and I know when I'm helping people, when I'm serving people,

83
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: By the way, can I be an asshole? Of course

84
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: I can do I get trapped in ego and bullshit,

85
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: yes I do. But I know that genuinely when I'm

86
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, doing something that it's not strategic. There's nothing

87
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: in it for me other than maybe to feel good, right,

88
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: But I'm not doing it even for that. I'm just

89
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: doing it because this person needs it. You know. Many

90
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: times people have said to me, how come you're helping,

91
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: and I go, because you need help, and they think

92
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: there's got to be another reason that doesn't And obviously

93
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: I can't do that for everyone, with everyone, and you know, yeah,

94
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: I still get paid to do different shit. But these

95
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: days I would say of all of the things that

96
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: I do, you know, like speaking with people, helping people

97
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: doing you know, like on I won't even say who

98
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: for but we're recording this Tuesday night. Thursday night, I

99
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: got asked to do a talk for a school at

100
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: four pm to the teachers and they don't have a budget.

101
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: And I'm like, sure, I'll do it. And I'm not

102
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: doing it because makes me look good. I'm doing it

103
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: because hopefully, you know, I can help someone. And if

104
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm getting paid zero or five grand, they get exactly

105
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: the same quality of me, right, And for me, that's

106
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: really you know important, Like of course I'm going to

107
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: go earn money and do stuff, but also I want

108
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: to have at least a percentage of my life, and

109
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: I hope that gets bigger as the years go on,

110
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: where I'm just doing it because it's serving and it's

111
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: helping and you know, and I think also there's a

112
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of wealth, and that's a spiritual wealth that that

113
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: kind of grows when you're not all about self service,

114
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean that. I feel like

115
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: that was messy, but I I feel like I have

116
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: in This sounds so lame, but I'm going to say

117
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: it's not the right word, but it's close. I feel

118
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: like I have an innate calling to help people. I

119
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: think that's my purpose.

120
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: That's a beautiful thing, isn't it. And I don't think

121
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: it was messy how you described it, because you started

122
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: off by saying that you didn't want to be disrespectful,

123
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: and so it was very you were very selective in

124
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: the words that you were using and how you were

125
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: talking about it. But it also goes back to you

126
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: talking about how you said previously in the first episode

127
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: that living your values is quite often very hard, but

128
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: what you just described is exactly that, and it seems

129
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: like the way that you do it is that putting

130
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: yourself out. They're in service to other people leaves less

131
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: time for wondering about Craig, and that seems to be

132
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: the spot where I don't know, it's just the golden

133
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: point for you.

134
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and honestly, and this is going to sound weird

135
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: as well, but I'm just going to say it, like

136
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: all the hate and hurt and echo chambers and online vitriol,

137
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: and it makes me sad. And I know it's not

138
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: gone away, but it makes me sad. And I just

139
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: and I know I'm an idealist, and I know that

140
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: you know it ain't going to happen anytime soon, if ever,

141
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: but imagine, imagine if we just had a world built

142
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: around love. Imagine imagine like imagine if you know, like

143
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: we just even when you think about the division between countries,

144
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: it's like we're literally killing other humans and rationalizing it.

145
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I know that this is much bigger than this chat,

146
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: but god, I don't get it.

147
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: But anyway, it does make you think though, that if

148
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: if more people were being a bit of service and

149
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: actually leading with love and kindness rather than ego, where

150
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: could we be? You know, where could be?

151
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: But you know, one good thing, I think I think

152
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people, not all people, but a lot

153
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: of people at their core can be fucking amazingly beautiful

154
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: and kind, and you know, like you know when someone's

155
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: really like fucked and somebody's like the amount of people

156
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: there might be two or three, it might be twenty,

157
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: but who often will come out of the woodwork and

158
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: go anything you need, Like, what do you need? How

159
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: can I help? And I try to be that for

160
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: as many people as I can practically, and like I've

161
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: met people that I how do I say this? So

162
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: people that I people approach me about people in their

163
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: life that are struggling with stuff, right, big, big, big stuff.

164
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: And I can't do it all the time, but whenever

165
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: I can, I sit with those people and I go, look,

166
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm the I don't know, I don't have the answers,

167
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: but like in that moment, I feel like when they go, oh,

168
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: here's a guy who's quite busy, who's got a bit

169
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: of a profile, who doesn't know me, and he's sitting

170
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: there and he's all about me, and I go, I

171
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: am all about you. I don't give a fuck what

172
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: else goes on for the next hour or so, nothing

173
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: else matters to me. For the moment, all that matters

174
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: to me for the moment, for this hour that we're

175
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: together is you. I'm not going to look at my phone.

176
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: I'm not going to crack a joke. I don't want you,

177
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: you don't owe me anything. I'm not special. I'm just

178
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: here because you need someone to be here. And maybe

179
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: I've got some thoughts and ideas that might be of

180
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: value or not, we'll see, but that anyone can do that.

181
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: You don't need to be a coach or a psychologist

182
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: or you can go. Look, I'm I'm just going to

183
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: sit with you and talk to you and look at

184
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: you and fucking be with you. You know, imagine if

185
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: we all just did that. Imagine, imagine, imagine I feel

186
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: like I'm banged on too long?

187
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 2: All right?

188
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: What about me? Going? Oh, this one will be quicker?

189
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: And then I talk for twenty minutes on the first

190
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: fuck I can't learn Harper. Question two.

191
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: Question two. So, with all of this, and I think

192
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 2: you may have touched on it with some previous answers,

193
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: but when did being accountable really clicking for you? So

194
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: that would be you know, living in alignment, walking me talk.

195
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Okay, So the very very first time, the very first

196
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: time was when I started tracking slash diarizing everything I

197
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: did with my training. I'm not saying that was a

198
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: moment of enlightenment or great wisdom, but where I realized that,

199
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: so I started being accountable in terms of tracking my

200
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: food and my exercise and what I ate and when

201
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: I ate, and my sleep and coffee and tea and

202
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: supplements and all of that stuff. Where I started to create,

203
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: you know, or try to create a protocol that worked

204
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: for me, and tried to understand by doing all of

205
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: these things and tracking all of these things and identifying

206
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: all of these things and being accountable in that everything

207
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: I did to my body, I wrote it down. I

208
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't leave anything out. What that did was

209
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: it gave me a very steep learning curve about, at

210
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: the very least, how my body worked, How my body

211
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: responded to training in the morning versus training in the

212
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: night or the afternoon, How my body worked with you know,

213
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: egg protein versus chicken or beef, How my body worked

214
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: with two meals a day or three or four meals

215
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: a day's same calories but divided up how you know everything.

216
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: What time of day was best for me to do cardio,

217
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: What time of day was best for me even cognitively,

218
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: like when does my brain work best? What supplements was

219
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: I taking and what did I notice? Like I would

220
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: back in the day when supplements, you know, like I

221
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: used to take all these different amino as acids and

222
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: nothing illegal, everything you could buy over the counter, and

223
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: desicated liver and fucking but I would take thirty pills

224
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: a day. And I remember doing an experiment where I

225
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: stopped everything except food, so no supplements for two weeks.

226
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: I felt exactly the same. So I just ditched all

227
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: my all of the stuff, which clearly was doing nothing.

228
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, dexicated whatever, ye.

229
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: Desicated liver, which sounds fucking disgusting, and it is, I'm sure,

230
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: but they were just no, no, no, it's not actually liver.

231
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: It's like pills, pills, like dehydrated.

232
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm surprised that wasn't doing anything for you, honestly.

233
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, well I've probably had enough iron in

234
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: my diet without that. But yeah, So that was when,

235
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, But then as I started developing businesses and

236
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, I opened my first business at twenty six,

237
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: I needed to be pretty responsible and accountable. So that

238
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: was a steep learning. But I would say around my

239
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: mid twenties, I started to be a little bit more methodical, accountable, practical,

240
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: rather than just the freestyling fuck with that I was

241
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: until that point in time.

242
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: Well done, twenties is pretty early, isn't it to be

243
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: self aware and to lock in on that.

244
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: Well, you know, there were still moments, as we know,

245
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: a question. Oh this was an interesting question. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

246
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: this was I've was not ready for this question. Yep,

247
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: go on.

248
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: Really okay, So describe your favorite kind of person.

249
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean, based on what I've been speaking about, you know,

250
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: no surprise, but people who just people who, like you said,

251
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: lead with love, people who you know, like people who

252
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: give without strategy or agenda or expectation, people who people

253
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,479
Speaker 1: who live with gratitude and a level of self awareness

254
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: and humility. I know, that's you know whatever. But people

255
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: who love watching others, genuinely love watching others succeed, you know.

256
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: And people who, as Stephen Covey says and many other

257
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: authors over the years, but people who seek first to understand.

258
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: So people who are really interested in it, understanding the

259
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: person in front of them rather than pushing to be understood. Yeah, yeah,

260
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: give me attention, listen to me, understand me, meet my needs,

261
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: be what I need, fuck all that.

262
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like.

263
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: People who you know, it's like one of my favorite,

264
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: one of my top ten people in the world. And

265
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people. Is Johnny that I

266
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: train in the gym, who you know and you've met

267
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: and you've seen probably hundreds of times at the gym

268
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: with me, you know, And here's a guy who's in

269
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: his seventies. You know, he's got an full disclosure so

270
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: you might want to put your fingers in years. But

271
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: he's got a bag for poo and a bag for wei,

272
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: and he's got a spinal cord injury, and he's got

273
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: a traumatic brain injury. And I fucking love him. And

274
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: he's just the best person. And he's just grateful, and

275
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: he's humble, and he's loving, and he's kind and he's

276
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: a sweetheart. And I just there ain't many people that

277
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I think more highly of than him. And he's the

278
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: person that most people would walk past not even notice.

279
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I've seen him working out a number of times,

280
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: and I feel like he radiates something that is like

281
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: a warmth. He's he's always got an acknowledgment. Well for me,

282
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 2: like I think I've given him a smile and a

283
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: hello whenever I see him, and he always seems very

284
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: approachable and very warm, and that is something that you

285
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: can't fake that.

286
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And you know, sometimes I think, fuck, if

287
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: anyone had a reason to be grumpy and pissed off

288
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: and angry, it's not me, it's not me, it's that guy.

289
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: It's that guy. And he's not Yeah, yeah.

290
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: He's definitely not. All right. Question, Oh, we've got two

291
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: more to go. We're on a roll.

292
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: Two more on a roll. So in line with everything

293
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 2: that you give in service and how I guess available

294
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: you are to people, how do you know when to stop?

295
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about quitting. I'm just talking about

296
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: how do you know when it's time to pull back

297
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: and preserve something for yourself so that you do then

298
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 2: have things to give to others?

299
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, So what I wrote what I wrote, and

300
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: I'll expand on this because you you. I jotted down

301
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: a few ideas off your question. I wrote, when your body, soul, innate, wisdom,

302
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: and internal sat nav tell you for me? That's like

303
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm getting like my body is telling me or my

304
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: subconscious or my you know that that internal sat nav

305
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: that wisdom that whatever that is, like, it's just no,

306
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: I just know it's intuitive, right, And I realized that,

307
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 1: and I think this is true for everybody you know.

308
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: There there are times when it's actually good for me

309
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: to be unproductive today. It's actually good for my overall

310
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: productivity and happiness and health to have a fuck all

311
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: day or even a fuck all week, depending on depending

312
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: on you know, your situation and where you're at. And

313
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: so I think that one of the things that we

314
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: do habitually, many of us, is we we kind of

315
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: block out all the inbound wisdom. You know. It's like

316
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: you've heard me so many times. Your body is buy

317
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: a feedback system. Your body's always telling you something. And

318
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: it might not be telling you you need to lose

319
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: weight or get fitter. It might be telling you, hey,

320
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: my nervous system's fucking fried. Could you fucking chill out

321
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: and go for a swim or just meditate, or like,

322
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: our body is always teaching us something or trying to

323
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: teach us something, and it might not be even about

324
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: the body. It might be about the chaotic mind or

325
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: the overloaded brain or so I know that there are

326
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: times when I kind of choose to be intentionally unproductive

327
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: because I know that's going to be good for my mental, emotional,

328
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 1: and physical health. And also I know that when I

329
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: turn up to do what I've going to what I've

330
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: got to do, I'll be better. Like sometimes, for example,

331
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: if I've got an afternoon gig and I've got to

332
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: talk for in the in the afternoon between one and five,

333
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: which is not uncommon, or one thirty and five, like

334
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: three or four hours, I will intentionally do fuck all

335
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: for the whole day before that. Sometimes, yeah, you know,

336
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: and I go because I just want to be brand

337
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: new when I go and stand in front of those people,

338
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: because three hours, Like think about talking for three or

339
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: four hours and being hopefully mentally focused at somewhere near

340
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: one hundred percent for the whole time and interesting and

341
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: engaging and building rapport and connection and being relevant and

342
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: been a great storyteller and creating an experience that people

343
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: want to be in and you know all of that. Well,

344
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: you can't turn up half fried and then do that.

345
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: You can't go. I got up at four, I did

346
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: a run, a swim, a workout. I've done nine podcasts

347
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: and so you guys are going to get the dregs.

348
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: You can't well I can't anyway, So I think strategic

349
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: energy management is crucial.

350
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: I like that. Strategic energy management.

351
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you're trying to manage your physical, mental, and

352
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: emotional energy.

353
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I'm going to use that.

354
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: It's only taken two podcasts and fucking nine and a

355
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: half questions. All right, let's do our last.

356
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: Ye okay, this is yeah, this one. I'm very curious.

357
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: I think I might know your answer, but I'm probably wrong.

358
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: So you can only do one exercise for the rest

359
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: of your life? What is it? Right?

360
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: Now? This is a hard question because I really needed

361
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: more information. But okay, so I'm going to tell my

362
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: tell you my rationale. So the question is, you can

363
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: only do one exercise for the rest of your life?

364
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: What is it?

365
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?

366
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: Now, well that if we're talking about well one, we

367
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: need cardiovascular fitness, and we need flexibility, and we need

368
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: strength and bone density and some muscle, and we need

369
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: balance and coordination and right, but if I can only

370
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: do one thing, how the fuck do I cover all

371
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: those bases? Right? So you probably thought I'm going to

372
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: say strength training. I'm not.

373
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: No, I didn't thint it.

374
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: What do you what do you think my answer is

375
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: going to be.

376
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: I think your answer might be walking.

377
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: No, okay, my answer is And again everyone, this is

378
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: just if you ask me in a month, I might

379
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: give you a different answer. Right, So this is not

380
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: set in stone. But I've given two answers. The first

381
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: one is kind of all the same ballpark surfing, paddling, kayaking,

382
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: or swimming. Now, let the exercise scientist explain the rationale.

383
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: Please think about surfing, for example, what are you doing?

384
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: You're balancing? What are you doing? You're using your arms

385
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: and legs, so coordination, timing, spatial awareness, where's the wave?

386
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: Where am I balance? Coordination? You're using muscular endurance because

387
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: you've got addle, paddle, swim, fall off swim for your board.

388
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: You're using strength because you've got to kick, and strength

389
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: upper body you've got to pull yourself through the water,

390
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: which so you're you're training your muscular system, your cardiovascular system,

391
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: your nervous system. You're getting fitness, cardio, fitness and strength

392
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: and muscular endurance. It is a total body workout. Obviously

393
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: not everybody can do that, but I'm just talking about

394
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: as a standalone thing. Also, very similar explanations for paddling

395
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: stand up paddling, which is great fitness, and you know

396
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stand up paddle borders around where

397
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: I live, kayaking or canoeing, whatever, swimming, same thing, So

398
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: you're never going to be well, that's not true. I

399
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: was going to say, you're never going to be a

400
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: big muscular thing. But there are some kayakers who are

401
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: fucking jacked. So if I could only do one thing,

402
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: it would be one of those. But a close second

403
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: would be circuit based strength training. So that's where it's

404
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: a combination of we're doing strength training like a full

405
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: body workout, but we're moving from exercise to exercise, so

406
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: there's a muscular endurance and a strength component as well

407
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: as a real cardiovascular component. So I might do ten exercises,

408
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: I do a circuit, I do exercise one to ten,

409
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: then I'm back to exercise one. I go through three times,

410
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: give or take it to thirty or forty minute workout,

411
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: and I've trained my core, my lower back, my legs,

412
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: my shoulders, my upper back, my my chest, and I've

413
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: done a full body workout and my heart rate's been

414
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: elevated for thirty to forty minutes. So I'm glad I

415
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: don't actually have to do any of that. But in

416
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: this hypothetical scenario that you created, what do you think

417
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: about what I said surfing?

418
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: I mean absolutely I didn't even think of that. Like

419
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: walking just sounds absolutely lame as a suggestion. After that, Yeah,

420
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 2: I mean, look at Chris Hamsworth, he surfs, he's got

421
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: a decent rig Yeah.

422
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: Well, look at Kelly Slater, he's still in the top

423
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: ten in the world and he's intact. And I mean,

424
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: obviously there are some assumptions you can serf or you

425
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: have access to water and all of that. But if

426
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: you just look at me as an ex scientist, look

427
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: at surfers. Show me a good surfer who's got a

428
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: shit body. Oh wait, you know, the girls look amazing.

429
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: The guys look amazing. They're fit, they're strong, they're functional,

430
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: they've got incredible total body strength, core strength, balance, power, speed,

431
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, timing, aerobic endurance. Yeah, and again that's

432
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: completely impractical. I acknowledge that everyone for most of us,

433
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: But based on Kelly's hypothetical, that is my answer. Hey,

434
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: thank you, we're gonna we're gonna say goodbye. Is there

435
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: anything you want to wrap up with us with or

436
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: are you Are we good to go and reset and

437
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: do number three?

438
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm just trying to figure out where to get

439
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 2: surfing lessons now.

440
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I'm not kidding it is it is actually amazing. Hey, everyone,

441
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed that. We'll be back. I don't

442
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: know whether or not we're gonna by the way, Kel,

443
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: i'll tell you and everyone out loud, I don't know

444
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: if we're going to play these back to back over

445
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: the days or we're going to separate them. But nonetheless,

446
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: I hope there's some thoughts and ideas in there that

447
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: are of value, if not a little bit of information, inspiration, education, motivation,

448
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: something in that space. Thanks for listening, See you next time.

449
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: Thanks Kel, Thanks Greg,
