1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: I'll get a team. I hope you're great. So it's 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: going to come as no surprise to you that I 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: am fascinated with human potential. I'm fascinated with what's possible 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: for us when we can do what we need to 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: do to create the outcomes we want to create, whatever 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: they are. I'm fascinated with our capacity to be able 7 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: to waste our neate ability or optimize our ability, to 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: be able to manage our mind and manage our choices 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: and manage our emotions, and manage our behaviors and our 10 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: resources and our physical energy, and our relationships and our 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: choices and our life and our lifestyle, to be able 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: to produce the thing that we want to produce, or 13 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: create the outcomes that on planet us are desirable and 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: I have personally. So this is a very selfish interest. 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: But I've always been interested in how the person with 16 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: not outstanding innate or natural abilities or attributes could outperform 17 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: their natural talent or their natural predisposition to be good 18 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: or not so good at something. And the reason I 19 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: say selfish is because that is me. So I was, 20 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, I was the kid who didn't have great genetics, 21 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: and surprisingly they didn't get better. My body got better, 22 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: and my choices and my behaviors and lifestyle and nutrition 23 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: and exercise got better, but my genetics didn't. Because I 24 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: can't change them. I can influence them. But what you've 25 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: got is what you've got for the most part. Yes, 26 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: you can, as I said, influence how they operate. For 27 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: one of a more fancy term, we call it epigenetics 28 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: or genetic expression. But you know, I had what I had, 29 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: and I had a certain amount or lack perhaps of 30 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: sporting ability or creative talent or academic natural academic ability. 31 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: I had certain social skills that my social skills were 32 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: not bad. They're probably better than the other things. My ability, 33 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: my natural ability to communicate was probably better than average. 34 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: But all of the other things, genetic, sporting ability, academic ability, 35 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: you know, all that stuff that really matters when you 36 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: all were told, we're told really matters. All that stuff 37 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: for me was at the very best average, maybe lower 38 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: than average. And so growing up with friends who were gifted, 39 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: and friends who had natural abilities and talent and a 40 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: natural predisposition for learning and for understanding the certain things 41 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: that I did not have. And by the way, there 42 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: was no hardship. There was no massive disadvantage. But for me, 43 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: it meant that if I wanted to be as good 44 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: as my friends at sport, you know, in particular, I was. 45 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: I was all about Bossie rules. I was all about 46 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: Australian rules football. I loved it. And so if I 47 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: wanted to make the team, I wouldn't get in on 48 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: my natural ability. I wouldn't get in on my natural 49 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: athletic prowess because they didn't have any. So I would 50 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: need to do more work. I would need to train harder. 51 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: I would need to consciously, you know, do things that 52 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: other people would not need to do to get So 53 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: somebody who might need to work at a three out 54 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: of ten to get to a certain point, and that's 55 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: great for them, by the way, there's no resentment in this. 56 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: There's a little bit of jealousy. But for them to 57 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 1: get to a certain level, whether three out of ten 58 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: workload or effort or application, I would need to do it. 59 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: I would need to give a seven or eight or 60 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: nine out of ten effort to be able to create 61 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: the same outcome. And so growing up being you know, 62 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: the morbidly obese kid with not very good genetics who 63 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: was a you know, at twelve thirteen years old, heavier 64 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: than most adults. I was heavier than most of my teachers. 65 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: I would suspect the kid who didn't ace the exams, 66 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 1: the kid who didn't have the natural disposition to study, 67 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: the kid who wasn't picked for all the sporting too. 68 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: There's no self pit in here, by the way. This 69 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 1: is just my life and where a lot of things, 70 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: most things did not come easily or naturally. But and 71 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: I've said this before, what I did love about all 72 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: of that was in the middle of all of that 73 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: stuff that I didn't have, what I did have was 74 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: I had curiosity. I had hope. I didn't have much 75 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: knowledge and didn't have much actual ability or talent, and 76 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: I didn't have a high IQ. It wasn't a brilliant scholar. 77 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: But what I was was I was really interested in 78 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: getting better. And there was a lot of false starts, 79 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: and there was a lot of peaks and troughs. But 80 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: and for me, the door opened as I won't bore 81 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: you with the story, but for me, the door opened 82 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: when it was always kind of cracked open, it was 83 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: always slightly a jar, but it kind of the door 84 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: blew open when I was fourteen, I lost a whole 85 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: lot of weight, and I mean when I say a 86 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: whole lot of weight, I mean like a lot of weight. 87 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: And I went from being, you know, one of the fattest, 88 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: if not the fattest kid in my school to definitely 89 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,799 Speaker 1: one of the fittest kids in my school, just because 90 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: I did a lot of work I did. You know, 91 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what the other kids were doing, but 92 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that there was very few, if any 93 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: kids in the entire school that were putting in the 94 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: miles and the work and the effort and the energy 95 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: that I was putting in to turn myself into a 96 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: version of an athlete. And while that was fun, and 97 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: going from you know, last to sometimes first in our 98 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: compulsory cross country runs that we had at school, and 99 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: going from not being seen to being somewhat more socially included, 100 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: that was nice too. Being picked in the first you know, 101 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: three or four or five for a sporting team instead 102 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: of being picked last. All that stuff was good. And 103 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: as a kid, of course, you want that. You want 104 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: to be socially accepted, you want to be seen, you 105 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: want to belong. You know, all the emotional and psychological 106 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: and sociological ramifications of being left out and excluded. They 107 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: are shit, indeed. But what really blew my mind when 108 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: I had this kind of teenage transformation was not, well, 109 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: look at my body. Now. I can run fast, I 110 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: can jump higher, I can do push ups and chin ups, 111 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and I can you know, I can play a whole 112 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: game and I'm not exhausted. All that was good, But 113 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: what really kind of struck me was that when I 114 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: applied myself despite my limitations, but when I would do 115 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: everything that I could, everything that I could, some amazing 116 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: shit happened. And while I couldn't I couldn't. I couldn't 117 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: create better genetics or I couldn't be smarter. But I 118 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: could get more knowledge. I could get more understanding. I 119 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: could develop new skill. I could build my innate fitness 120 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: and competence. I could build strength. I could improve strength consciously. 121 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't improve my natural kind of talent or ability, 122 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: like I said, but I could. I could just get 123 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: better through work. I could build insurance and endurance and 124 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: speed and confidence and awareness and competence at a range 125 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: of things because I was prepared to do the work 126 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: that the others weren't prepared to do. And it wasn't 127 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: like I had some big I guess epiphany about work 128 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: ethic at any stage or optimization of my own potential, 129 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: but rather, over time it kind of dawned on me that, 130 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: oh wow, if I can change my body, the thing 131 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: that pretty much defined me in a massive way, I 132 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: can go from being morbidly obese to being the opposite 133 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: of morbid EO. I can go from being one out 134 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: of ten fit too for my own potential nine or 135 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: ten out of ten fit. I can go from not 136 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: being able to do a single chin up because I 137 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: couldn't even I was so heavy. I couldn't even hold 138 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: my body weight. I couldn't hold my own body weight 139 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: for ten seconds. I couldn't hang off a a monkey 140 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: bar or a tree or whatever, or a chinup bar. 141 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: I don't think I even knew at a fucking chin 142 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: up bar, A proper one was. At that stage, I 143 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: couldn't even hold my body weight, and a year later 144 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: I could do comfortably. I could do fifteen proper chins. 145 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: And it's not like, well, that's because you know you've 146 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: got better genetics now, No, that's because I just did 147 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: things that created that change. And so I became really 148 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: interested in how could I leverage my mediocrity. How could 149 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: I didn't say it like this, but how could my 150 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: mediocrity be the driving force behind my success? What a 151 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: weird concept. And when I leaned into that, and I 152 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: just owned that and I accepted that, and I went, 153 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: all right, well, here's all the things you're not creat 154 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: here's all the things you're not. And this is not 155 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: self loathing. By the way. You might think I'm throwing 156 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: myself under the bus or I'm being unnecessarily mean to me. 157 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: I'm not. But I think what is really important is 158 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: that we are It's hard because we live in our 159 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: own subjective reality. I get that. But as objective as 160 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: I can be about me, I know that there are 161 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: some things that I have more natural ability at. And 162 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, doing what I'm doing right 163 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: now is it has been a skill that's been developed. 164 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: But I also had a natural capacity to be able 165 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: to communicate and think clearly and understand, to a certain extent, 166 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: understand human beings and human behavior and human nature. And 167 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: that's something that over time I have developed. So that's 168 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: a certain kind of intelligence, of course, but kind of 169 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: classroom intelligence and academic intelligence that wasn't innate. I really really, 170 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: me and university we don't go together like peas in 171 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: a pod. Me and University, We've really had to figure 172 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: each other out. I've really had to learn to understand 173 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: that culture and that language, and that operating system and 174 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: paradigm that for me is not a natural fit. Research 175 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: for me is not a natural fit. There's been a 176 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: lot of things that I have had to work harder 177 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: than other people alongside me because I didn't have what 178 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: they had. I had to train harder than people. I 179 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: had to lift more than people, I had to do 180 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: more miles than people. I had to ask more questions 181 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: than people. I had to fail more times than other people. 182 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: And all of those things are and this might sound 183 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: a bit cliche, but all of those things, while they 184 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: are uncomfortable and painful and undesirable, in the moment, they 185 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: are fucking a superpower. They're a superpower, or they're a 186 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: super resource because what they're doing is they're helping us 187 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: become the thing that we need to be to be 188 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: able to thrive, or the person that we need to 189 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: be to be able to thrive and survive and navigate 190 00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: and negotiate and problem solve and adapt because life is 191 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: messy and things are messy, and relationships are messy, and 192 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: business and learning and you know, becoming successful, whatever that 193 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: means for you, it's messy. It's not a three step process. 194 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: And the thing that will work for you know, the 195 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: thing that would work for my mates at school, they 196 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: would do a certain thing, and that would work for them. 197 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: I would do the same thing. It wouldn't work for me. 198 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: And the way that I would do it, they might 199 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: roll their eyes and go, why the fuck do you 200 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: make that so hard? You go and definitely go on 201 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: the long way, or maybe the wrong way. And for 202 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: them that was true. And if they had have done 203 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: it the way that I did it, it wouldn't have 204 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: made sense because they weren't me and I wasn't them. 205 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: And so I have spent my life in many ways 206 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: trying to figure out not what is the best protocol, 207 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: but what is the best protocol for me? What is 208 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: the best protocol for me with my brain, with my 209 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: cognitive capacity, What is the best work out for me 210 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: with my genetics and my body. What is the best 211 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: kind of relationships for me, not for the average or 212 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: other person. What's the best kind of career for me, 213 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: what will work for me. I'm not lazy. I want 214 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: to work, but maybe having a nine to five job 215 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: won't work for me. And so not only not only 216 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: learning how to leverage off my own mediocrity, and not 217 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: only learning how to optimize what I do have to 218 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: work with, but also understanding who I am in the 219 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: middle of all of the things that I am, not 220 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: all of the people that I am not. What will 221 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: work for most people might not work for you. It 222 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: might not work for you. There are lots of things 223 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: that a lot of people do a lot of and 224 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: they are not bad things or good things. They're just things. 225 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: And clearly that works for them, not always, but in 226 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: general terms. But there are a lot of things that 227 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people do that for me don't interest me, 228 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: they don't stimulate me, they don't grow me. And that 229 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: doesn't on any level mean that I'm better or worse 230 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: than them. That just means that I am not them. 231 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: And so I have always been very excited. I'm still excited. 232 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm sixty one. You know that most of 233 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: you know that I'm sixty one, and I'm excited about 234 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: what I'm going to do be create, learn, and unlearned. 235 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: Do be create, learn, and unlearn over the next four years. 236 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what's happening when I'm sixty five. 237 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: I'm interested in getting better. I'm not interested in hanging 238 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: on by the skin of my teeth and trying to, 239 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, decline at a minimum. I'm actually at a 240 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: minimal rate. I'm actually interested in getting better. I'm interested 241 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: in getting cognitively, emotionally, mentally, socially, and maybe even physically better. 242 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if all of those things are possible. 243 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know that if I don't try, 244 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: they're definitely not possible. They're definitely not possible. And so 245 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: I've got some questions for you that I ask myself 246 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: about leveraging, optimizing what I do have to work with. 247 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: And so these are Craig coaching questions. For Craig. This 248 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: is literally what I ask me. And this is not 249 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: this is not you know, pseudo self help fluff. And 250 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: some of these might work for you, they might not, 251 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: They might be relevant, they might not, But this is 252 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: what I ask myself. So Number one is what do 253 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: I need to get better at? And that's just a 254 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: really simple question. And you can preface that with in 255 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: relation to communication, what do I need to get better 256 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: at in relation to optimizing my genetics? What do I 257 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: need to get better at in relation to using my 258 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: time effectively? What do I need to get better at 259 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: in relation to the way that I connect with this person? 260 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: What do I need to get better at in relation 261 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: to being a great problem solver, a great leader, a 262 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: great manager, a great coach. What do I need to 263 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: get better at in relation to being a better managed 264 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: manager of money? Right? These are and so like, we 265 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: can't get better at the things that we can't acknowledge 266 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: or we can't identify. I believe, and you've heard me 267 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: say this. I believe a lot of us just fucking 268 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: go through life unconsciously, and we kind of hope that 269 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: at the end of twenty five it'll be better than 270 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: the end of twenty four where we're at now. But 271 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: we don't really have a concrete plan. We haven't really 272 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: identified our weaknesses, we haven't really leaned into our strengths. 273 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: We haven't really put our current operating system on the 274 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: metaphoric hoist and walked around and had a good look 275 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: at that operating system and said, what am I doing. 276 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: That's currently fucking stupid. What am I currently doing? That's 277 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: a form of self sabotage. What am I currently doing? 278 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: That is a waste of me and my time and 279 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: my genetics and my energy and my potential. What am 280 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: I doing? We need to live consciously and intentionally, and 281 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: that means being aware of what we're doing and what 282 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: we're not doing, being aware of our choices and responsible 283 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: for our choices and also lack of choices. When you 284 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 1: don't make a decision about that thing that you know 285 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: you should make a decision about, or you're making a decision, 286 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: It's like when I talked to somebody about a bad 287 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: habit and they're like, look, I don't want to make 288 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: a decision about that yet. Well that's your decision. Your 289 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: decision is you're not going to address it. So question 290 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: one is what do I need to get better at? 291 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: And that kind of is the catalyst for a decision, 292 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: that's the catalyst for action, that's the catalyst for a 293 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: different operating system or approach or paradigm. Do you have 294 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: a plan, do you have a strategy, do you have 295 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: a system or are you just kind of bumbling along 296 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: doing the thing that doesn't really work well. Well, if 297 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: you are not consciously and intentionally observing your own behaviors 298 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: and choices and outcomes, then you're doing life on a 299 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: form of autopilot. That doesn't work. And if I said 300 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: to you, do you want to produce better outcomes than 301 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: you are currently with your body, with your whatever, relationships, money, 302 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: relationship with God, spirituality, lifestyle, whatever it is? Do you 303 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: want to get better? Do you want to do better? 304 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: Do you want to create better? Nearly all of you 305 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: will say absolutely, I do cool? What's the plan? What 306 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: does better mean? What needs to stop? Stop? Not? Oh soon? 307 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: No fucking stop? Is it uncomfortable? Yes? Is it hard? Yes? 308 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: Is it inconvenient? Probably? Do you want like just deep down? 309 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: Do you you know? Like? Do you want to? Ah? 310 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: How much? Like? Here's the thing. You can listen to 311 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: a million of me. You can listen to Tony Robbins and 312 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: Oprah and Deepak and the Dalai Lama and read everything, 313 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: But it still comes down to what the fuck will 314 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: you do? Really? What the fuck will you do? Not? 315 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: What do you know what? Not? Not? What do you intend? Not? 316 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: What do you want? Not? What are your goals? Not? 317 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: What's your plan? But what the fuck will you do? 318 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: Because what the fuck you will do determines what the 319 00:19:53,840 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 1: fuck you will create. Let that sink in next question 320 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: what matters to me? What matters to me? I'll do 321 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: questions two and three what matters to me? And question three? 322 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: What is success for me? So let me give you 323 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: a couple of examples for me success. There was a 324 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: period of time where it was all about building a 325 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: brand and business and money and all of those things. 326 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: And that's not good or bad. At the time, that's 327 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: what that's where I needed to be. And I did that. 328 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: I built a business, and I built a brand, and 329 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: I had lots of people working for me, and I 330 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: was making lots of dough. And that's not a bad thing. 331 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: That's in the context of my life. At the time, 332 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: that was good. But guess what, Over time, we evolve 333 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: and we change and we realize, hopefully we realize that 334 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: success isn't only about things. Success maybe isn't only about 335 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: our bank balance, or our car, or our house, or 336 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: our brand or what people think. It's not about all 337 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: the scene stuff. Sometimes success is about what no one 338 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: can see. Sometimes success is about your emotional and spiritual 339 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: and psychological bank account, Sometimes poverty has got nothing to 340 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: do with food or running water, or job or bank balance. 341 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes poverty is an internal state. I know lots of 342 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: rich people who are living in poverty lots, I mean 343 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: fucking lots from the outside looking in razzle dazzle, but 344 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: the inside out, they are poverty stricken. They are socially, emotionally, 345 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: sometimes spiritually, mentally living in poverty, living in their own 346 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: self created prison. This is not a criticism, This is 347 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: an observation. And as long as we keep looking for 348 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: things for solutions and answers and nirvana and fulfillment in 349 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: the wrong place, we're always going to be trapped in 350 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: that in a turmoil, that inner bankruptcy, that inner poverty. 351 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: And it's not about one or the other. There's nothing wrong, 352 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: of course, with building financial wealth. I'm all for it. 353 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: Be rich, be richey, fucking rich rich. Somebody says to me, Craig, 354 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: we've got a corporate gig for you on Wednesday. We've 355 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: got two one's worth X and the other one's worth 356 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: ten X. Guess which one I'm choosing. But this is 357 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: not a you know, but these things don't need to 358 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: be mutually exclusive. But we live in such an externally 359 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: focused culture and mindset and society that we are all 360 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: about what we can see and what we can see 361 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: of others and what they can see of us. And 362 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: in the middle of all of this fucking preoccupation and 363 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: obsession that we have with things, we've never had more 364 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: broken people, We've never had more emotionally, psychologically, spiritually poverty 365 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: stricken people, because we think that all of that external 366 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: shit is going to make us happy. We think that 367 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: all of that and that alone equal success. So when 368 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: you are thinking about what matters to you, think about 369 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: what can be seen and what can't be seen. My 370 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: next one is how do I self sabotage? How do 371 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: I get in my own way? How do I get 372 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: in the way of whatever my genetic potential or intellectual 373 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: potential or academic or creative or sociological whatever that is right? 374 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: How do you get in your own way? What is 375 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: the thing or what are the things that you currently 376 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: do that is you creating an anchor for yourself? What 377 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: are those things like? Is it avoidance? Is it procrastination? 378 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: Is it massive self doubt? Is it fear? What is it? 379 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: And again, this is just an next size in self awareness. 380 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: It's cool. If you're scared of stuff, yeah, me too. 381 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: If you're an overthinker, me too. Like, here's the thing, though, 382 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: You can be scared and still take action. You can 383 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: feel like a fraud and still step into the unknown 384 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: and take a chance. You can be full of self doubt, 385 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: but nonetheless roll the dice knowing that there's going to 386 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: be an outcome and more than likely you'll be okay. 387 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: Whatever the outcome is. My next question is what's in 388 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: my control and what can I do? What's in my control? Okay, 389 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: So what's in my control is my mind for the 390 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: most part, if I try to manage it. Is my body, 391 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: is my nutrition? Is my exercise? Is the lifestyle I choose, 392 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: is the decisions that I make, Is the action that 393 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: I take? Is the way that I treat us? Is 394 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: the way that I waste or use? My potential is 395 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: fill in the blank. And based on all of that stuff, 396 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: all the stuff that I can control. Not not what 397 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: can't I change? Your control? But what can I control? 398 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: And what am I doing with that? What am I 399 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 1: doing about that? What do I have to work with? 400 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: Imagine if I optimized my potential. Imagine if in the 401 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: middle of my fear and overthinking and self doubt and 402 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: self loathing. Imagine if I went right. This is. I 403 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: know I've listened to a thousand podcasts and I've done 404 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: this and that, and i know it's nearly Christmas and 405 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: it's not the right time and I wasn't ready. But 406 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: what if you you? So I don't think about anyone 407 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: else listening to this. I'm just talking to you directly, 408 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: and I know that sounds weird, but just think about it. 409 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: What if you what if today you did that thing. 410 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not trying to inspire you, I'm 411 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: not trying to motivate you. I'm literally asking you. And 412 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: if this makes you feel uncomfortable, maybe that's a sign. 413 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: What if today you did it, even though today's not 414 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: the day allegedly. What if if today you make a decision. 415 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: What if today you go fuck, I'm just going to 416 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: find discipline and self control. Anyway, this is uncomfortable, and 417 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: it's okay. This scares me, and it's okay, this is inconvenient, 418 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: and it's okay. This is this is and I'm not 419 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: saying I'm the high watermark, but this is how I 420 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: live my life. You know, a part of it anyway. 421 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: Of course, I still want to have fun and beautiful 422 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: relationships and be silly. But in terms of me optimizing me, 423 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: like you listen to this show at least in part 424 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: because you want to optimize you. That is why you listen. 425 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: You listen to me because you want to be better. 426 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: You want to think better, do better, choose better, create better. 427 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: That is part of why you listen, and for some 428 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: of you, it's all of why you listen. It's all 429 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: of why you listen. Well, here I am for the 430 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: millionth time I'm telling you there is no fucking magic. 431 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: There is no right time, there is no tap on 432 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: the shoulder from the Guardian angel. There is just you, 433 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: There is just now. There is just this moment. So 434 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: many people have an opportunity. Do you know when it's 435 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: an opportunity? When it's a day. Are you in the 436 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: middle of a day? Is it a new day? It's 437 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: an opportunity. Are you hearing what I'm saying? It's an opportunity? 438 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: Is it relevant for you? It's an opportunity. Can you 439 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: make a decision now? That's an opportunity. Can you change 440 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: a behavior or at least change a course of action? 441 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: It's an opportunity. Can you walk? Can you talk? Can 442 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: you think? Do you have a brain, do you have 443 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of courage? Do you have a body 444 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: that work, walks and works, it walks and works. What 445 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: do you have at your disposal? What are your resources? 446 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: I know I get passionate about this. But the reason 447 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: that I'm so passionate about helping you is because most 448 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: people that I meet, and I do not say this insincerely, 449 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: most people that I meet, in general terms, I think 450 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: have more natural talent and ability than me. But people 451 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: don't want to believe that, because I'd rather tell themselves 452 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: that I'm somehow a bit special because of the stuff 453 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: that I do. But I'm not. But if you're more talented, 454 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: naturally talented than me, and I'm not a genius, of course, 455 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: but maybe you can go and do something fucking amazing. 456 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't matter that you don't have a cheer squad. 457 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't matter that the thing that you wanted 458 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: to do you haven't done. Maybe it doesn't matter that 459 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: your genetics aren't awesome. Maybe it doesn't matter that you're 460 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: forty or fifty kilos overweight. Maybe you can just start. 461 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't matter that you lack confidence or skill 462 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: or understanding. Maybe you can build those things. Maybe you 463 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: can make a tiny decision today and create momentum. Maybe 464 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: maybe your mediocrity can become your superpower.
