1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: I'll get a team. I hope you're great. So it's 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: going to come as no surprise to you that I 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: am fascinated with human potential. I'm fascinated with what's possible 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: for us when we can do what we need to 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: do to create the outcomes we want to create, whatever 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: they are. I'm fascinated with our capacity to be able 7 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: to waste our neate ability or optimize our ability, to 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: be able to manage our mind and manage our choices, 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: and manage our motions, and manage our behaviors and our 10 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: resources and our physical energy, and our relationships and our 11 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: choices and our life and our lifestyle, to be able 12 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: to produce the thing that we want to produce, or 13 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: create the outcomes that on planet US are desirable and 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: I have personally. So this is a very selfish interest. 15 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: But I've always been interested in how the person with 16 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: not outstanding innate or natural abilities or attributes could outperform 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: their natural talent or their natural predisposition to be good 18 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: or not so good at something. And the reason I 19 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,920 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 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: and surprisingly they didn't get better. My body got better, 22 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: and my choices and my behaviors and lifestyle and nutrition 23 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,600 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 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: got is what you've got for the most part. Yes, 26 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: you can, as I said, influence how they operate. For 27 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,960 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 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: and I had a certain amount or lack perhaps of 30 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: sporting ability or creative talent or academic natural academic ability. 31 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: I had certain social skills that and my social skills 32 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: were not bad. They're probably better than the other things. 33 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: My ability, my natural ability to communicate was probably better 34 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: than average. But all of the other things, genetic, sporting ability, 35 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: academic ability, you know, all that stuff that really matters 36 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: when you're all were told, we're told, really matters. All 37 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: that stuff for me was at the very best average, 38 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: maybe lower than average. And so growing up with friends 39 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: who were gifted, and friends who had natural abilities and 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: talent and a natural predisposition for learning and for understanding 41 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: the certain things that I did not have. And by 42 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: the way, there was no hardship. There was no massive disadvantage. 43 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: But for me, it meant that if I wanted to 44 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: be as good as my friends at sport, you know, 45 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: in particular, I was. I was all about Aussie Rules. 46 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: I was all about Australian rules football. I loved it. 47 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: And so if I wanted to make the team, I 48 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't get in on my natural ability. I wouldn't get 49 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: in on my natural athletic prowess because they didn't have any. 50 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: So I would need to do more work. I would 51 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: need to train harder. I would need to consciously, you know, 52 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: do things that other people would not need to do 53 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: to get So somebody who might need to work at 54 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: a three out of ten to get to a certain point, 55 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: and that's great for them, by the way, there's no 56 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: resentment in this. There's a little bit of jealousy. But 57 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: for them to get to a certain level, whether three 58 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: out of ten workload or effort or application, I would 59 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: need to do it. I would need to give a 60 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: seven or eight or nine out of ten effort to 61 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: be able to create the same outcome. And so growing 62 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: up being you know, the morbidly obese kid with not 63 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: very good genetics who was a you know, at twelve 64 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: thirteen years old, heavier than most adults. I was heavier 65 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: than most of my teachers. I would suspect the kid 66 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: who didn't ace the exams, the kid who didn't have 67 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: the natural disposition to study, the kid who wasn't picked 68 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: for all the sporting too. There's no self pid in here, 69 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: by the way, this is just my life and where 70 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: a lot of things, most things did not come easily 71 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: or naturally. But and I've said this before, what I 72 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: did love about all of that was in the middle 73 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: of all of that stuff that I didn't have, what 74 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: I did have was I had curiosity. I had hope. 75 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: I didn't have much knowledge and didn't have much natural 76 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: ability or talent, and I didn't have a high IQ. 77 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: And it wasn't brilliant scholar. But what I was was 78 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: I was really interested in getting better. And there was 79 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: a lot of false starts, and there was a lot 80 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: of peaks and troughs. But and for me, the door opened, 81 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: as I won't bore you with the story, but for me, 82 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: the door opened when it was always kind of cracked open, 83 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: it was always slightly a jar, but it kind of 84 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: the door blew open when I was fourteen, I lost 85 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: a whole lot of weight, and I mean when I 86 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: say a whole lot of weight, I mean like a 87 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: lot of weight. And I went from being, you know, 88 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: one of the fattest, if not the fattest kid in 89 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: my school to definitely one of the fittest kids in 90 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: my school, just because I did a lot of work 91 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: I did. You know, I don't know what the other 92 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: kids were doing, but I'm pretty sure that there was 93 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: very few, if any kids in the entire school that 94 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: were putting in the miles and the work and the 95 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 1: effort and the energy that I was putting in to 96 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: turn myself into a version of an athlete. And while 97 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: that was fun, and going from you know, last to 98 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: sometimes first in our compulsory cross country runs that we 99 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: had at school, and going from not being seen to 100 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 1: being somewhat more socially included, that was nice too. Being 101 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: picked in the first you know, three or four or 102 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: five for a sporting team instead of being picked last. 103 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: All that stuff was good. And as a kid, of course, 104 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: you want that. You want to be socially accepted, you 105 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: want to be seen, you want to belong. You know, 106 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: all the emotional and psychological and sociological ramifications of being 107 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: left out and excluded. They are shit, indeed. But what 108 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: really blew my mind when I had this kind of 109 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: teenage transformation was not, well, look at my body. Now. 110 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: I can run fast, I can jump higher, I can 111 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: do push ups and chin ups, and I can you know, 112 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: I can play a whole game and I'm not exhausted. 113 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: All that was good, But what really kind of struck 114 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: me was that when I applied myself despite my limitations, 115 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: but when I would do everything that I could, everything 116 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: that I could, some amazing shit happened. And while I 117 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: couldn't I couldn't. I couldn't create better genetics or I 118 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: couldn't be smarter. But I could get more knowledge. I 119 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: could get more understanding. I could develop new skill. I 120 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: could build my innate fitness and competence. I could build strength. 121 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: I could improve strength consciously. I couldn't improve my natural 122 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: kind of talent or ability, like I said, but I could. 123 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: I could just get better through work. I could build 124 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: insurance and endurance and speed and confidence and awareness and 125 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: competence at a range of things because I was prepared 126 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: to do the work that the others weren't prepared to do. 127 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: And it wasn't like I had some big I guess 128 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: epiphany about work ethic at any stage or optimization of 129 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: my own potential, but rather, over time it kind of 130 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: dawned on me that, oh wow, if I can change 131 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: my body, the thing that pretty much defined me in 132 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: a massive way, I can go from being morbidly obese 133 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: to being the opposite of morbidle EO. I can go 134 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: from being one out of ten fit to for my 135 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: own potential, nine or ten out of ten fit. I 136 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: can go from not being able to do a single 137 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: chin up because I couldn't even I was so heavy. 138 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't even hold my body weight. I couldn't hold 139 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: my own body weight for ten seconds. I couldn't hang 140 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: off a a monkey bar or a tree or whatever, 141 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: or a chinup bar. I don't think I even knew 142 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: at a fucking chin up bar, A proper one was. 143 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: At that stage, I couldn't even hold my body weight, 144 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: and a year later I could do comfortably. I could 145 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: do fifteen proper chins. And it's not like, well, that's 146 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: because you know you've got better genetics now, No, that's 147 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: because I just did things that created that change. And 148 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: so I became really interested in how could I leverage 149 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: my mediocrity. How could I didn't say it like this, 150 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: but how could my mediocrity be the driving force behind 151 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: my success? What a weird concept. And when I leaned 152 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: into that, and I just owned that and I accepted that, 153 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: and I went, all right, well, here's all the things 154 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: you're not creat here's all the things you're not. And 155 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: this is not self loathing. By the way. You might 156 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: think I'm throwing myself under the bus or I'm being 157 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: unnecessarily mean to me. I'm not. But I think what 158 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: is really important is that we are It's hard because 159 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: we live in our own subjective reality. I get that. 160 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: But as objective as I can be about me, I 161 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: know that there are some things that I have more 162 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: natural ability out And I would say, you know, doing 163 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: what I'm doing right now is it has been a 164 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: skill that's been developed. But I also had a natural 165 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: capacity to be able to communicate and think clearly and understand, 166 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, understand human beings and human behavior 167 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: and human nature. And that's something that over time I 168 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: have developed. So that's a certain kind of intelligence, of course, 169 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: but kind of classroom intelligence and academic intelligence that wasn't innate. 170 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: I really really, me and university we don't go together 171 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: like peas in a pod. Me and University, We've really 172 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: had to figure each other out. I've really had to 173 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: learn to understand that culture and that language, and that 174 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: operating system and paradigm that for me is not a 175 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: natural fit. Research for me is not a natural fit. 176 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of things that I have had 177 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: to work harder than other people alongside me because I 178 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: didn't have what they had. I had to train harder 179 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,599 Speaker 1: than people. I had to lift more than people, I 180 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: had to do more miles than people. I had to 181 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: ask more questions than people. I had to fail more 182 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: times than other people. And all of those things are 183 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: and this might sound a bit cliche, but all of 184 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: those things, while they are uncomfortable and painful and undesirable, 185 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: in the moment, they are fucking a superpower. They're a superpower, 186 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: or they're a super resource because what they're doing is 187 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: they're helping us become the thing that we need to 188 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: be to be able to thrive, or the person that 189 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: we need to be to be able to thrive and 190 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: survive and navigate and negotiate and problem solve and adapt 191 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: because life is messy and things are messy, and relationships 192 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: are messy, and business and learning and you know, becoming successful, 193 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: whatever that means for you, it's messy. It's not a 194 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: three step process. And the thing that will work for 195 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: you know, the thing that would work for my mates 196 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: at school, they would do a certain thing, and that 197 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: would work for them. I would do the same thing. 198 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: It wouldn't work for me. And the way that I 199 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: would do it, they might roll their eyes and go, 200 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: why the fuck do you make that so hard? You 201 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: go and definitely go on the long way, or maybe 202 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: the wrong way. And for them that was true. And 203 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: if they had have done it the way that I 204 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: did it, it wouldn't have made sense because they weren't 205 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: me and I wasn't them. And so I have spent 206 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: my life in many ways trying to figure out not 207 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: what is the best protocol, but what is the best 208 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: protocol for me? What is the best protocol for me 209 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: with my brain, with my cognitive capacity, What is the 210 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: best work out for me with my genetics and my body. 211 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: What is the best kind of relationships for me, not 212 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: for the average or other person. What's the best kind 213 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: of career for me, what will work for me. I'm 214 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: not lazy. I want to work, but maybe having a 215 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: nine to five job won't work for me. And so 216 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: not only not only learning how to leverage off my 217 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: own mediocrity, and not only learning how to optimize what 218 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: I do have to work with, but also understanding who 219 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: I am in the middle of all of the things 220 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: that I am, not all of the people that I am. 221 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: What will work for most people might not work for you. 222 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: It might not work for you. There are lots of 223 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: things that a lot of people do a lot of 224 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: and they are not bad things or good things. They're 225 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: just things. And clearly that works for them, not always, 226 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: but in general terms. But there are a lot of 227 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: things that a lot of people do that for me 228 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: don't interest me, they don't stimulate me, they don't grow me. 229 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: And that doesn't on any level mean that I'm better 230 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: or worse than them. That just means that I am 231 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: not them. And so I have always been very excited. 232 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm still excited. You know, I'm sixty one. You know 233 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: that most of you know that I'm sixty one, and 234 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm excited about what I'm going to do, be create 235 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: learn and unlearn, do be, create, learn and unlearn over 236 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: the next four years. I'm excited to see what's happening 237 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: when I'm sixty five. I'm interested in getting better. I'm 238 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: not interested in hanging on by the skin of my 239 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: teeth and trying to, you know, decline at a minimum. 240 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: I'm actually at a minimal rate. I'm actually interested in 241 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: getting better. I'm interested in getting cognitively, emotionally, mentally, socially, 242 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: and maybe even physically better. I don't know if all 243 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: of those things are possible. I don't know, but I 244 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: know that if I don't try, they're definitely not possible. 245 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: They're definitely not possible. And so I've got some questions 246 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: for you that I ask myself about leveraging, optimizing what 247 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: I do have to work with. And so these are 248 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: Craig coaching questions. For Craig. This is literally what I 249 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: ask me. And this is not this is not you know, 250 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: pseudo self help fluff. And some of these might work 251 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: for you, they might not, They might be relevant, they 252 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: might not, But this is what I ask myself. So 253 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: Number one is what do I need to get better at? 254 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: And that's just a really simple question. And you can 255 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: preface that with in relation to communication, what do I 256 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: need to get better at in relation to optimizing my genetics? 257 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: What do I need to get better at in relation 258 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: to using my time effectively? What do I need to 259 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: get better at in relation to the way that I 260 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: connect with this person? What do I need to get 261 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: better at in relation to being a great problem solver, 262 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: a great leader, a great manager, a great coach? What 263 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: do I need to get better at in relation to 264 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: being a better managed manager of money? Right? These are 265 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: and so we can't get better at the things that 266 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: we can't acknowledge or we can't identify. I believe, and 267 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: you've heard me say this. I believe a lot of 268 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: us just fucking go through life unconsciously, and we kind 269 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: of hope that at the end of twenty five it'll 270 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: be better than the end of twenty four where we're 271 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: at now. But we don't really have a concrete plan. 272 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: We haven't really identified our weaknesses, we haven't really leaned 273 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: into our strengths. We haven't really put our current operating 274 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: system up on the metaphoric hoist and walked around and 275 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: had a good look at that operating system and said, 276 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: what am I doing? That's currently fucking stupid. What am 277 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: I currently doing? That's a form of self sabotage. What 278 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: am I currently doing? That is a waste of me 279 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: and my time and my genetics and my energy and 280 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: my potential. What am I doing? We need to live 281 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: consciously and intentionally, and that means being aware of what 282 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,239 Speaker 1: we're doing and what we're not doing, being aware of 283 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: our choices and responsible for our choices and also lack 284 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: of choices. When you don't make a decision about that 285 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: thing that you know you should make a decision about, 286 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: or you're making a decision, it's like when I talked 287 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: to somebody about a bad habit and they're like, look, 288 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to make a decision about that yet. 289 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: Well that's your decision. Your decision is you're not going 290 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: to address it. So question one is what do I 291 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: need to get better at? And that kind of is 292 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: the catalyst for a decision, that's the catalyst for action, 293 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: that's the catalyst for a different operating system or approach 294 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: or paradigm. Do you have a plan, do you have 295 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: a strategy, do you have a system or are you 296 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: just kind of bumbling along doing the thing that doesn't 297 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 1: really work well. Well. If you are not consciously and 298 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: intentionally observing your own behaviors and choices and outcomes, then 299 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: you are doing life on a form of autopilot. That 300 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: doesn't work. And if I said to you, do you 301 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: want to produce better outcomes than you are currently with 302 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: your body, with your whatever, relationships, money, relationship with God, spirituality, lifestyle, 303 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: whatever it is? Do you want to get better? Do 304 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: you want to do better? Do you want to create better? 305 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: Nearly all of you will say absolutely, I do cool? 306 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: What's the plan? What does better mean? What needs to stop? Stop? Not? 307 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: Oh soon? No fucking stop? Is it uncomfortable? Yes? Is 308 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: it hard? Yes? Is it inconvenient? Probably? Do you want? Like? 309 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: Deep down? Do you you know? Like? Do you want to? Ah? 310 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: How much? Like? Here's the thing. You can listen to 311 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: a million of me. You can listen to Tony Robbins 312 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: and Oprah and Deepak and the Dalai Lama and read everything, 313 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: But it still comes down to what the fuck will 314 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: you do? Really? What the fuck will you do? Not? 315 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: What do you know? What? Not? Not? What do you intend? Not? 316 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: What do you want? Not? What are your goals? Not? 317 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: What's your plan? But what the fuck will you do, 318 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: because what the fuck you will do determines what the 319 00:19:53,880 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: fuck you will create. Let that sink in next question 320 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,080 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 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: What is success for me? So let me give you 323 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: a couple of examples for me success. There was a 324 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: period of time where it was all about building a 325 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: brand and business and money and all of those things. 326 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: And that's not good or bad. At the time, that's 327 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: what that's where I needed to be. And I did that. 328 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: I built a business, and I built a brand, and 329 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 1: I had lots of people working for me, and I 330 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: was making lots of dough. And that's not a bad thing. 331 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: That's in the context of my life at the time, 332 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: that was good. But guess what, Over time, we evolve 333 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: and we change and we realize, hopefully we realize that 334 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: success isn't only about things. Success maybe isn't only about 335 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,639 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 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: the scene stuff. Sometimes success is about what no one 338 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: can see. Sometimes success is about your emotional and spiritual 339 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: and psychological bank account. Sometimes poverty has got nothing to 340 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: do with food or running water, or job or bank balance. 341 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes poverty is an internal state. I know lots of 342 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: rich people who are living in poverty lots, I mean 343 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: fucking lots. From the outside looking in razzle dazzle, but 344 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: the inside out they are poverty stricken. They are socially, emotionally, 345 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: sometimes spiritually, mentally living in poverty, living in their own 346 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: self created prison. This is not a criticism, This is 347 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: an observation. And as long as we keep looking for 348 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: things for solutions and answers and nirvana and fulfillment in 349 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,000 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 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: And it's not about one or the other. There's nothing wrong, 352 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: of course, with building financial wealth. I'm all for it. 353 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: Be rich, be richit e fucking rich rich. Somebody says 354 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: to me, Craig, We've got a corporate gig for you 355 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. We've got two one's worth X and the 356 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 1: other one's worth ten X. Guess which one I'm choosing. 357 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: But this is not a you know, but these things 358 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: don't need to be mutually exclusive. But we live in 359 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: such an externally focused culture and mindset and society that 360 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: we are all about what we can see and what 361 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: we can see of others and what they can see 362 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: of us. And in the middle of all of this 363 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: fucking preoccupation and obsession that we have with things, We've 364 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: never had more broken people, We've never had more emotionally, psychologically, 365 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: spiritually poverty stricken people, because we think that all of 366 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: that external shit is going to make us happy. We 367 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: think that all of that and that alone equal success. 368 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: So when you are thinking about what matters to you, 369 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: think about what can be seen and what can't be seen. 370 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: My next one is how do I self sabotage? How 371 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: do I get in my own way? How do I 372 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: get in the way of whatever my genetic potential or 373 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: intellectual potential or academic or creative or sociological whatever that 374 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: is right? How do you get in your own way? 375 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: What is the thing or what are the things that 376 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: you currently do that is you creating an anchor for yourself? 377 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 1: What are those things like? Is it avoidance? Is it procrastination? 378 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: Is it massive self doubt? Is it fear? What is it? 379 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: And again this is just an next size and self awareness. 380 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: It's cool if you're scared of stuff, yeah, me too. 381 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: If you're an overthinker, me too. Like, here's the thing, though, 382 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: You can be scared and still take action. You can 383 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: feel like a fraud and still step into the unknown 384 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: and take a chance. You can be full of self doubt, 385 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: but nonetheless roll the dice knowing that there's going to 386 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: be an outcome and more than likely you'll be okay. 387 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: Whatever the outcome is. My next question is what's in 388 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:40,880 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 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: most part, if I try to manage it is my body, 391 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: is my nutrition? Is my exercise? Is the lifestyle I choose, 392 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: is the decisions that I make, Is the action that 393 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: I take? Is the way that I treat others? Is 394 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: the way that I waste or use? My potential is 395 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: fill in the blank. And based on all of that stuff, 396 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,959 Speaker 1: all the stuff that I can control. Not not what can't 397 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: I change? Your control? But what can I control? And 398 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: what am I doing with that? What am I doing 399 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: about that? What do I have to work with? Imagine 400 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: if I optimized my potential. Imagine if in the middle 401 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: of my fear and overthinking and self doubt and self loathing. 402 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: Imagine if I went right. This is. I know I've 403 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,479 Speaker 1: listened to a thousand podcasts and I've done this and that, 404 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: and i know it's nearly Christmas and it's not the 405 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: right time and I wasn't ready. But what if you you? 406 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: So I don't think about anyone else listening to this. 407 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm just talking to you directly, and I know that 408 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: sounds weird, but just think about it. What if you 409 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: what if today you did that thing. By the way, 410 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to inspire you, I'm not trying to 411 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: motivate you. I'm literally asking you. And if this makes 412 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: you feel uncomfortable, maybe that's a sign. What if today 413 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: you did it, even though today's not the day allegedly. 414 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: What if if today you make a decision. What if 415 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: today you go fuck, I'm just going to find discipline 416 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: and self control. Anyway, this is uncomfortable, and it's okay. 417 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: This scares me, and it's okay, this is inconvenient, and 418 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: it's okay. This is this is and I'm not saying 419 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm the high watermark, but this is how I live 420 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: my life. You know, a part of it anyway. Of course, 421 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,239 Speaker 1: I still want to have fun and beautiful relationships and 422 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: be silly. But in terms of me optimizing me, like 423 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: you listen to this show at least in part because 424 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: you want to optimize you. That is why you listen. 425 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: You listen to me because you want to be better. 426 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: You want to think better, do better, choose better, create better. 427 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,639 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 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: of why you listen. Well, here I am for the 430 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: millionth time I'm telling you there is no fucking magic. 431 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: There is no right time, there is no tap on 432 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,600 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 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,239 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 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,959 Speaker 1: middle of a day? Is it a new day? It's 437 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: an opportunity. Are you hearing what I'm saying? It's an opportunity? 438 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,000 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 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: a behavior or at least change a course of action? 441 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: It's an opportunity. Can you walk? Can you talk? Can 442 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 1: you think? Do you have a brain, do you have 443 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of courage? Do you have a body 444 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: that work? Walks and works, walks and works? What do 445 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: you have at your disposal? What are your resources? I 446 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: know I get passionate about this. But the reason that 447 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm so passionate about helping you is because most people 448 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: that I meet, and I do not say this insincerely, 449 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: most people that I meet, in general terms, I think 450 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: have more natural talent and ability than me. But people 451 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: don't want to believe that, because I'd rather tell themselves 452 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: that I'm somehow a bit special because of the stuff 453 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: that I do. But I'm not. But if you're more talented, 454 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: naturally talented than me, and I'm not a genius, of course, 455 00:28:58,960 --> 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 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: to do you haven't done. Maybe it doesn't matter that 459 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: your genetics aren't awesome. Maybe it doesn't matter that you're 460 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: forty or fifty kilos overweight. Maybe you can just start. 461 00:29:15,800 --> 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 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: can make a tiny decision today and create momentum. Maybe 464 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: maybe your mediocrity can become your superpower.
