1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: I'll get a team. It's Harps, it's Bobby. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 2: It's a week after the last episode that we did 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 2: at seven thirty two in the thriving metropolis of Melbourne. 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 2: In down them the bottom end the bum end of Australia, 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: and Bobby's over there on the West coast in the States. 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: In are you in San Diego? Still? Is that where you're. 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 3: At San Diego? 8 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: What's going on in San Diego? What are you? You're 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: just heading out of winter? In is it? 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 3: What is it spring? 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: I should know the seasons where we're just flipped. 12 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 3: We're the opposite of you, so we are. We're heading 13 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 3: into winter. We're kind of an autumn right now. 14 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm sorry here, No, you're coming out of summer. 15 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: I'm a fucking idiot worker. And that's why we get you. 16 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: That's why we get you, because you're the brilliant one. 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: Sought the seasons out. Yeah. 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good thing. I'm not Jane Bunn. You 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: don't know who Jane Bunn is. She's very famous weather 20 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: forecaster here in Melbourne. How's your week been, mister Kabucco. 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 3: It's been good. It's been you know, bright and sunny, 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: a little bit overcast. I know you weren't actually asking 23 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: for the weather report when you pose that question, but yeah, 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 3: it's been all right. I'm doing a lot of rating 25 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 3: right now, and sometimes you forget the things that you 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: do that keeps you happy. You get away from it, 27 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 3: and I am spending several hours a day with my 28 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: head and a laptop, and I almost I feel guilty 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: because it's really hard work and it's a lot of research, 30 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 3: and you know, sometimes to like say something correctly, especially 31 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 3: with my brain, it takes longer than you feel that 32 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: it should. But at the end of the day, I 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: realize I'm happy. 34 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: What is your I mean, I've spoken about this a 35 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: few times with a couple of academics, but over the 36 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: course of six years, so it doesn't hurt to ask you. 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: So you're one of the best researchers I know, and 38 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: you also have this you climb to have a brain injury. 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that, but. 40 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 3: Her a bloke with it early in the episode. 41 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: It's her bloke with a brain injury. Your brain is 42 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: pretty fucking amazing. What's your process? Like? 43 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: Do you do you take. 44 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: Do you hear a term or a concept or you 45 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: hear somebody talk and something gets triggered and you open 46 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: the door and go, I'm going to do a little 47 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: bit of a deep dive in that, or how does 48 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: it work for you? 49 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: And also is your amazing recall? 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: Is that just how your brain works or is that 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: just you know, just going back to the books or 52 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: going back to the research constantly and keeping updated. 53 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: I just did a Q and A on this with 54 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: the organization that I work for, the North American part 55 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 3: of the organization, where they wanted to find people that 56 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: have challenges learning and basically say how do you navigate that? 57 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 3: So they were looking like, who is the absolutely most unfortunate, 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 3: screwed up person we have working here in North America. 59 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: So they invited me to join this panel. And it's 60 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 3: a matter of for me understanding that your brain just 61 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: works differently, and there's a lot of experimentation. Luckily I 62 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: found out how my brain works and how I learned 63 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: very early. It was by default rather than by design. 64 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: For me, I always have to be looking for information. 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: My intent is up like I am always with my 66 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: head in the book, my head in a paper, in 67 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: the literature, listening to podcasts like yours, and when I 68 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: find things. I write them down, and I build on them, 69 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: I teach them. It is short of the amount of 70 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: time between I learned something and share something, the greater 71 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: chance that I'll retain it. I do not have a 72 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: very good memory, and that's a misconception because I do 73 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: hear that all the time. I love hearing that because 74 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: it means, okay, I'm doing something right. But for me, 75 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: it's repid and not just repetition in the same modality. 76 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: I have to read it multiple times, I have to 77 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: say it multiple times, I have to hear it multiple times. 78 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: So I need to use a multi century learning approach 79 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: otherwise nothing sticks. Like I will look at people that 80 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 3: I know and be like, for the life of me, 81 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: I can't remember your name. I mean, I know who 82 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 3: you are right now. So this episode should go rather smoothly. 83 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: But that's been happening to me increasingly lately, and I 84 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: don't know if that's a cause for concern, but it's 85 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: pretty normal, which is why I'm not getting that disturbed 86 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: or that concerned. Early. My memory isn't great. I've just 87 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 3: learned how to saturate myself with things that interest me. 88 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: If that answers the question. 89 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So when you listen to something like this, 90 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: like if you were a listener listening to you and 91 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 2: may talk about the things we're going to talk about today. 92 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: Are you listening specifically to learn? Do you have the 93 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: mind of a student when you're listening or are you 94 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: just listening as a listener And if something comes up 95 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: you're like, ah, I'll just jump that down and I 96 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: might I look into that lighter. 97 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 3: I think the word is curiosity. I don't go onto 98 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: a podcast saying Okay, what can I learn? Although that's 99 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 3: a definite motivation. If you weren't interested in learning podcasts, 100 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: it's kind of an interesting venue for you. But I'm like, 101 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: what am I interested in? Because so a few years ago, 102 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 3: I was doing a preconference presentation over at what it 103 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: was FILEX and it was myself and a couple of 104 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: our friends. Ode was there, Michaell was there. PT was 105 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: speaking at this event, and a presenter got on the stage. 106 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: And when people say things that I vehemently disagree with, 107 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 3: I love those speakers because those are the things that stick. 108 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: And the person said, if you're reading, ninety nine percent 109 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: of your information should pertain directly to your craft, Like, 110 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: don't waste your time going out reading nonfiction, reading novels. 111 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: I thought that is just the opposite, because, especially if 112 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: you're going to share information, you're sharing information with people 113 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: with diverse learning modalities, diverse interest backgrounds. I want to 114 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: take in as much information from as wide of a 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 3: span of resource as I can find out what interests 116 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 3: me and where are the connections, because now you have 117 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: such a multifaceted ex approach to explaining the same thing 118 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 3: in a diversified way to a diversified group of people. 119 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: So when I go on and listen to a podcast, 120 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: what am I curious about? And when something captures my curiosity? 121 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: Very often I'll put the podcast on pulse. I don't 122 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: want to hear anymore because I'm gonna pull over to 123 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 3: the side of the road and I'm gonna jop that down. 124 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 3: My best friend is on my iPhone. You know that 125 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 3: notes app that you have. Each one of those notes, 126 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: I'll have twenty page and it starts out with a quote, 127 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: starts out with a statement. I'll say, Okay, what's the 128 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 3: research to support this? What are some other ideas? If 129 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 3: I was going to put this in a presentation, how 130 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: I organize my ideas and why would that be relevant? 131 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: And then I'll pay attention when I'm in a consulting 132 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 3: meeting somebody asks a question, Oh my god, that pertains 133 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: to what I learned the other day. So it starts 134 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: out with a few lines, I will literally have twenty 135 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 3: pages when I transfer that into a word document and 136 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 3: start dressing it up. Yeah, make life your lab. 137 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: I love that. You know what I've been what I've 138 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: been doing lately is I listen to lots of podcasts 139 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: like you. But I've started listening to a few autobiographies, 140 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: which I don't normally do, and I think I recommended 141 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: to you. 142 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. 143 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: I definitely recommended to our listeners a book by Megan 144 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: Phelps Roper about the Westbrood Baptist Church. It's cool, unfollow 145 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: and it's fucking amazing. Like I had low expectations, so 146 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: I thought it'd be a bit interesting. It was fascinating. 147 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: And then I just finished yesterday listening to Terry Crews. 148 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: You know, Terry Crews is the guy that hosts America's 149 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: Got Talent x NFL. 150 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: Player Terry Crews. 151 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 152 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm like, uh, like, someone's like, you should 153 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: listen to this. I think you'd like it. 154 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: I'm like yeah, And. 155 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: I had like four credits on audible. 156 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, so and it wasn't like, oh fuck, 157 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: that was mind blowing, but it was just interesting to 158 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: hear somebody's story who is from such a different world 159 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: to the world that I grew up in. And even 160 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 2: though you know, it's not like, oh, here's a profound insight, 161 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 2: cray and go and jot that down and then go 162 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: and open the door on that and research, it was 163 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: just like I loved listening about someone else's childhood that 164 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: was nothing like mine, and someone else's school experience that 165 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: was nothing like mine, and someone else who had parents 166 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: who with nothing like mine, and just to try to 167 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: get in the head of another human. But even the 168 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: way that sometimes I love the way that people explain 169 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: a concept. It's not even the I'm interested in the concept. 170 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: But you and I both know as teachers and as speakers, 171 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 2: sometimes someone will explain an idea or a construct in 172 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: a way that is better than the way I explain it, 173 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 2: and I go, okay, that's mine now, thank you. You know, 174 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: where somebody will talk about something and so just listening 175 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: to you know, there's the entertainment value and the wow 176 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: factor value. But then on top of that, just listening 177 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: to you know, like I was listening to him talking 178 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 2: about some of he he had a rough childhood, rough 179 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: and it just gives me gratitude for the rough childhood 180 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: that I didn't have. 181 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: You know, you had a rough childhood. 182 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that to for any you know, 183 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: reason other than it's just true. And when I've spoken 184 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: to you over the years that it's not one of 185 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: the reasons I love you, but it's one of the 186 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: reasons that i'm I'm I have compassion for you, and 187 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: I know you don't want that, but it's just when 188 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 2: I hear about your shitty childhood or Terry Kruz's shitty 189 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 2: childhood or the challenges, and I think, I'm just this 190 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: privileged kid who grew up in the country, really and 191 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: it's not like we were it was a Hollywood. 192 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: Existence or anything. 193 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think listening to other people just talk 194 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 2: about their journey and their story, even then if they're 195 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: not expressly making some kind of profound point, but there's 196 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: so much along the way that you can take on board. 197 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 3: See if you're so methodical that lands with me that 198 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: you're only looking for relevant information to what you think 199 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 3: is necessary in the moment, you miss a lot of things. 200 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,599 Speaker 3: Like all sad goals are extremely important. I'm not just 201 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: talking about for success and achievement. I really think they're 202 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 3: important for fulfilled resilience and a level of happiness. To 203 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 3: be fair, but if you're so locked into your behavioral 204 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 3: routine and things that either aligned with your goals or don't, 205 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: you don't have that unbound play and exploration that one 206 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: allows you to test different scenarios, that allows you to 207 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: creatively imaginally project yourself into different situations. You don't have 208 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 3: all of that, and you kind of miss things. It's 209 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: like that person that goes to a seminar and they say, Okay, 210 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 3: I want you to write down fifty things that are 211 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: congruent with the person of your dreams, your ideal partner, 212 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: and they walk around their whole life and it's like, 213 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: if everyone you meet doesn't meet all fifty things on 214 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 3: that checklist, which probably nobody will. I mean, in the 215 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 3: seminar they said that you'll attract that same exact person, 216 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 3: but someone who is really suited to you could walk 217 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: through the front door and you will miss them because 218 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: they don't match your checklist. There's something in life if 219 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: I believe about exploration, and when you vic it's social 220 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: cognitive theory, like Abbat Bendura. When you vicariously experienced the 221 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: world through someone else's situation that you didn't go through, 222 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: you can kind of learn how you would approach similar situations. 223 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: And you know, people are very different, but people are 224 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: also kind of very much the same. So autobiographies and 225 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 3: other people's stories. I remember we took we took a trip. 226 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 3: We decided to take the car and we drove during 227 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: the holidays a couple of years ago, and we listened 228 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: to Will Smith, Trevanoah, Kevin Hart's autobiography All in One Journey, 229 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 3: and these are you know, you can say, well, these 230 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: people are kind of similar, right, because they're all they're 231 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: all some people who have gone through stuff early in 232 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 3: their life, especially when you take a look at Trevoroah 233 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 3: first and Foremost and then Will Smith and they turned 234 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 3: to calm, So all three of these people have turned 235 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: to comedy. But they're also very different in their backgrounds 236 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: and the way they looked at the world. And one 237 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 3: of the things that I learned about is one of 238 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 3: these individuals created a stick like this persona for himself 239 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 3: because he got a lot of laughs on stage, and 240 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: whilst he was getting a lot of laughs, nobody wanted 241 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: to book them because there was nothing in this person's 242 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: personality or persona that was real and authentic and people 243 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: couldn't relate to it. And then somebody said, hey, why 244 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: don't you just talk about yourself, Why don't you talk 245 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 3: about real stuff that you're dealing with, And he got 246 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 3: into observational comedy. And it's not that his career took off. 247 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: He landed in tons of challenges that most people wanted 248 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 3: to have been able to overcome. But eventually it was 249 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: that authenticity and vulnerability that created a relationship with the 250 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: audience that he wants to. Everybody can relate to that. 251 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 3: So I don't care if you're works an accounting It 252 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 3: was Kevin. 253 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: Hort, right. Yeah. 254 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 3: So it's interesting how there's so much carry over regardless 255 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: of where you're sitting in your life. 256 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 2: Kevin Hart is a highly motivated individual by the way, 257 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: you know, like to your point of like, goals are good, 258 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 2: goals are good to a point, and then you know 259 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: it's like sometimes I think like the to do list, 260 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: or the goal setting process, the structure. 261 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: Of the accountability, all of that. 262 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: All of those things are they serve a purpose, but 263 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: I think there is a point where it can go 264 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: from you know, motivation and focus and inspiration to obsess 265 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: obsession and anxiety, where now, if you're not ticking thirty 266 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: two boxes a day, you feel like a dud. 267 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: You're now you're disappointed. 268 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: Now you're beating yourself up because you're not the high 269 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: performance seven. 270 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: Days a week. 271 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: And you I mean, there's that. And I've seen this 272 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: a fair bit with self help and personal development for 273 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: want of better terms, where people kind of go on 274 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: the you know, the personal growth journey and if they're 275 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: not kicking goals on an hourly basis, then they then 276 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: they just morph into this other thing that's worse than 277 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: the thing they were before they started the journey. And 278 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: it's like, not everything needs to have a point, Like 279 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: maybe the point is fucking laughter, or maybe it's you know, 280 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: like you and I before we start this talk, we 281 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: talk and there's nothing profound going on. 282 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: It's just two guys bullshitting each other. 283 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: And it's fun and part of my relationship with you 284 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: and yours with me. Is that yes we're friends, but 285 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: like we love laughter and we love having fun and 286 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: making fun of each other and bullshitting, and you know 287 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: there's joy in that. Not everything is going to be 288 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: some profound insight or breakthrough or advancement of the self 289 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: in the middle of the you know, the life. 290 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of things in self help. 291 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: I mean my show is called the self help Antidote 292 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 3: for that reason. I think there's so much value and 293 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: insight that comes out of self help, and then there 294 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: is so much absolute toxic bullshit that is not substantiated 295 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 3: in the research. And a lot of times you get 296 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: to know these people on a personal level. They say, 297 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: don't ever meet your heroes, and they are so not 298 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: the person that is delivering that message. Life is not 299 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: a straight line. A lot of times you stumble upon 300 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 3: an insight because you were playing around and you were 301 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 3: taking a break. I always use the example of mend Belief. 302 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 3: He couldn't complete the periodic table because he was trying 303 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: so hard to literally find the answers that would complete it. 304 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 3: But when he gave up up and I don't mean 305 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: gave up forever, Like there's something I learned from my 306 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 3: wife that I'm actually I'm teaching in a couple of 307 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 3: weeks on a municipal government level here with the county. 308 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 3: But it's called quitting every day. He just said, all right, 309 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 3: I'm stuck, and he went to sleep. And when he 310 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: let go, it's not when he pushed harder, we let go. 311 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 3: The answer came to him in a dream and woke up, 312 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 3: completed the period on table and thank you very much 313 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 3: for that ball the way. But I watched my wife 314 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 3: do this where she would work eighteen hours a day 315 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: because she was a filmmaker, but as an entrepreneur, she 316 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 3: didn't have a lot of budget for editing and for 317 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 3: video audio, so she became all of that because she 318 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 3: was also an IT engineer in a past life. It 319 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: would be eighteen hours of brutally hard work. And it's like, 320 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 3: how do you do that six days a week, sometimes 321 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: seven days a week when you're make in a film. 322 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 3: And how she would do it is at the end 323 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: of the day, in her mind, she'd be like this, 324 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 3: I quit, and she sit down, turn on Netflix, pour 325 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 3: herself a glass of wine, and then the next morning 326 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: she would hire herself again. And the reason why this 327 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: is important is because A lot of times I would 328 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 3: take days off and I'd be exhausted after a day 329 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: off because I would think about work. I would ruminate, 330 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: and I really wasn't taking a day off. I just 331 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: wasn't engaging. I might as well have been working because 332 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 3: I was worrying about work. Which she did was completely 333 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 3: disconnect fire herself. I'm done, wake up the next morning, 334 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 3: hire herself, and do that whole cycle again. And I 335 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 3: think that's really important if you're going to I don't 336 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 3: want to say work hard, play hard. That is so cheesy, 337 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 3: but if you are invested in sustainable growth and creativity, 338 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 3: you also have to be invested in sustainable rest rejuvenation, 339 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 3: but also play an absurdity, go out there and experiment 340 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 3: with shit. And sometimes experiment might not make sense because 341 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 3: of what you're working on. But I have written so 342 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 3: many articles, had so many insights from just noticing stupid 343 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 3: little things like watching a film where they're talking about 344 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 3: that mind the gap thing when you get off the tube. 345 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: And then one day I was on my way to 346 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 3: a date. I got off at Saint James's place and 347 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 3: I heard mine the gap, and again I went to 348 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 3: the side of the road and started jotting things down 349 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 3: because wait a minute, that means something to me right now. 350 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 3: And then you know, I went off on my date 351 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 3: talked about it, and that created a seminar that got 352 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 3: me booked with a major organization. And it's just playing 353 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 3: around and being open to things, I believe. 354 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, how good is that? 355 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 2: I told this story briefly the other day on a show, 356 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 2: but I'll tell you quickly. 357 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: So I did a gig. 358 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 2: I did two gigs this week for a radio station 359 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 2: here in Melbourne called a Lot of Him who do 360 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: a lot of good work with the community. And I 361 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 2: ran these two big events, mental health events, lots of 362 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: people and one of the knights, one of the knights, 363 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 2: I had the most gorgeous hecla. She wasn't really a hecla, 364 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: but she was in the front row, this little girl, 365 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: and she had a disability, and she was sitting with 366 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: her mum and she was just yelling out the most random. 367 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: Shit, you know. 368 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 2: And at first You're just like, all right, I'll just 369 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 2: duck and weave around this. It's all good, you know, 370 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: And then I just started engaging her and asked her 371 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: a name, and it was just like this moment where 372 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 2: you know, when you're in the moment, you're like, hmm, 373 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: well I definitely hadn't planned for this, and this definitely 374 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: isn't part of my presentation, but you go. But nonetheless, 375 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 2: and I mean it was a big group. It was 376 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: like about six or seven hundred people. But nonetheless, you're like, 377 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: all right, well, where I thought I was going to 378 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: go and how I thought this was going to work 379 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: out and kind of the energy, and well, that's all 380 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: out the window now because this is happening in front 381 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: of me. And as it turns out, I went for 382 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: you know, it was fine, but then I just went 383 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna We're just going to go for it. 384 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: So I just started interacting with her as well as 385 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: the whole group, and she was a delight, an absolute delight. 386 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: And the funny thing is, I actually think she made 387 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: the experience better and the moment that I stopped trying 388 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 2: to make it all polished and amazing and slick and professional, 389 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: and I just put my presentation on hold for a 390 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: minute and I just walked to the edge of the 391 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: stage and just riffed with Mel. All of a sudden, 392 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 2: everyone loved Mel. It wasn't annoying, not that she was annoying, 393 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 2: but it wasn't annoying. It was it was cute. You know, 394 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: there's that there's something that you can't plan for. And 395 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 2: I'm not saying I've always has done it, well I haven't, 396 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: but being able to go, well, fuck, this is just 397 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 2: where we're at right now. This wasn't my plan, and 398 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: right now my plan is out the window. 399 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: But fuck it. Here we are. 400 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 2: And sometimes out of those here we are moments comes 401 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: something that like at the end, I was thinking, I 402 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: was driving home thinking that was better than last night 403 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: took because I did two the same gig essentially in 404 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: two different places, and night one was quite good, but 405 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: the second one, which was full of mayhem, was better. 406 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 2: And I had a line of people for nearly an hour. 407 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: Just who wanted to, you know, say lo and talk 408 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: and ask a question. 409 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 2: And yeah, it's funny those moments that are completely organic, 410 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: out of your control. 411 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: But sometimes it's almost like the problem becomes the gift. 412 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 3: I am going to use that story. I think that 413 00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: is why I'm so indexed on play. Play is my 414 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 3: highest value. In the last episode, we talked about don't try, 415 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 3: and I think that's the epitome of don't try, because 416 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 3: if you've got up there and we're trying to make 417 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 3: an impact with the audience, trying to make your point, 418 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 3: that would have been quite disruptive. But if you're not trying, 419 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: you're allowing that session to unfold, well, then things like 420 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 3: that are an invitation and you could choose to accept 421 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 3: that invitation. A couple of weeks ago, my team of 422 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 3: coaches did a presentation for the company and they just 423 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 3: they just crushed it right, They hit it out of 424 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 3: the park. And because of that, they're invited now to 425 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 3: come present for the board, which is very unusual. As 426 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: you can imagine, a lot of departments don't get invited 427 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 3: to present for the board. But they did that well. 428 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 3: And when they first got up there, they were so nervous, 429 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 3: and you could tell I could tell. I don't know 430 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: if the room could tell. But it's not what happens 431 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 3: to you. It's what you do with it that determines 432 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 3: the impression that makes on other people in your audience. 433 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 3: And they leaned into it, they laughed about it, and yea, 434 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: sometimes when you're up and you misspeak in front of 435 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 3: a room, you could see the presenter get flustered and 436 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 3: then everybody feels uncomfortable on their behalf and you just 437 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 3: lost them versus somebody that laughs about themselves. So you 438 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 3: tell a joke and it just doesn't land, does it? 439 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 3: And you call that out because it's hysterical that it 440 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 3: doesn't land. And they just played with it, and they 441 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 3: just embraced it and just flowed right into the presentation. 442 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 3: And I was not I was proud because they delivered 443 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 3: really well, because they prepared and they earned that. But 444 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 3: what I was more proud about is how they just 445 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 3: embraced the awkwardness and the discomfort of being scared shitless 446 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: in the first thirty seconds of that, And I thought, wow, 447 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 3: now that's impressive. There's something that's valuable. 448 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: Sometimes I think this is going to sound weird, but 449 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: I feel like there's this whole thing going on in 450 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 2: the room despite me, Like that's got nothing to do 451 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 2: with me, And sometimes it's a really good thing. It's 452 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: got a bit to do with me, but a lot 453 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 2: of it not to do with me. And with things 454 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 2: like that, where something's happening with this young this young lady. 455 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 2: I actually don't know how old she was is, but 456 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 2: I would say, you know, teenage sixteen to she could 457 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 2: even be twenty, I don't know, but anyway, Gordeous, but 458 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 2: it was like I needed to get out of the way, 459 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: like my plan and my ego and my insecurity needed 460 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: to get out of the way and just try to 461 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: because she was definitely for ten to twenty minutes, she 462 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 2: was the star. It was like I was just backup singer, 463 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: right and like allowing that to happen and to make 464 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: her have a good time as well, and to try 465 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 2: to bring that all together. But yeah, it was that 466 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: That's one of those things that you know when you 467 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 2: when you do anything which is somewhat organic, you know 468 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: you can you and I you know how much I 469 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 2: don't plan so but I have an idea and I 470 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 2: have it. I know what I want to talk about 471 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 2: on the night, but I don't have a presentation per se. 472 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: But thank god I didn't have a slide presentation. 473 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 2: That night, because that just that would have gone straight 474 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: out the window. But yeah, it gave me food for 475 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 2: thought as I drove home thinking about what was it 476 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: despite the mayhem that went on tonight, that was better, 477 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 2: That made it better. 478 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: Than last night? And I think it was just that that. 479 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: Vulnerability and that realness and that authenticity and that just 480 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: that like exchange with another human in front of six 481 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 2: hundred or so humans just watching on. All right, So 482 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 2: last week we did this thing, and we're going to 483 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: do it again for around twenty minutes. Now, I'm going 484 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: to limit you to two or three minute response time. Now, 485 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 2: I know that's like, I know that's not easy for 486 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 2: you because your default setting is ten minutes rock bottom. 487 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 2: But I've got to increase my blood pressure. Thanks, I've 488 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 2: got about house no what we see, where we go. 489 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: I'd like to get through six to eight, but we 490 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: might get through two to three. So you do it 491 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: at your pace. 492 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: All right. Now, Bobby doesn't know what I'm going to 493 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: talk about. He hand on heart. 494 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 2: There's been no prep, no pride, discussion about any of this. 495 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: These are just things that I've picked out of your 496 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 2: LinkedIn page or your LinkedIn platform over the last few months. 497 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: All Right, tell us briefly about reflective listening. What is it, 498 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 2: how do we do it? What's the value reflective listening? 499 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 3: In a two minute answer? Okay, so a lot of 500 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 3: times we think about listening, we think about not speaking. 501 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 3: Otto Scharmer, who is an expert in organizational and Cultural 502 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: Development wrote a book Through You, and one of the 503 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 3: aspects of Through You are levels of listening. And most 504 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 3: people in our population function on downloading, which is, I 505 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 3: am listening for something that aligns with my worldview, my 506 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 3: cognitive biases, and I'm going to dismiss everything else. When 507 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 3: we are taught to listen, we go one level deeper, 508 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 3: which is a lot better than downloading, but it's still 509 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 3: not connective immersive listening. That's factual listening. I don't know 510 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: if you're very familiar with the old show Dragnet with 511 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 3: Detective Joe Friday. 512 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: To you, yeah, I absolutely know that show, but I 513 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: don't think I watched it. 514 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that I've. 515 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 2: Seen it referred to in movies, but I don't think 516 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: i've ever seen the show. 517 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 3: Right, there's a very cerebral detective Joe Friday, and his 518 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: line was just the facts, man, the fact. Yes, but 519 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 3: the facts don't give you context, and very often that's 520 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 3: misleading and communication. But you're kind of listening from the outside. 521 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: And then when you start to listen from within the conversation, 522 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 3: from inside that space between you and the other person, 523 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 3: you get into emotional listening. And that's where reflections really 524 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 3: come in. So if somebody says something to you, there's 525 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 3: layers of context and meaning to be discovered, not just 526 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 3: by you, but by the mirror you hold up to somebody. 527 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 3: They get to see something that's not quite apparent all 528 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 3: the time when they're just going through the narrative in 529 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: their heads. So an example of this is somebody could say, oh, 530 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 3: you know my kids, I'm gonna kill them. I'm gonna 531 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 3: absolutely kill them. I got If you're listening to just 532 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 3: the facts, you should call the police because this person's 533 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 3: playing on murdering their kid. It's if you're listening from 534 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 3: an emotional level, it's you've got so many things that 535 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: are on every day sometimes you don't know how you're 536 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 3: going to manage it. And when you got home yesterday, 537 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 3: just what you walked into was so overwhelming. When you 538 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,479 Speaker 3: had so many things that you needed to do, but 539 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 3: just had there was nothing left. And when you do that, 540 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: somebody goes yeah. And it's interesting because a lot of 541 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: times people say coaching, what's about asking really great questions? Well, 542 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 3: if you would ask a question follow by a question 543 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 3: follow by a question, that's an interrogation. I mean, people 544 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 3: do that like after you've been arrested, or when you 545 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 3: like when you go to your prefect, your guidance, well 546 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 3: whatever you call it, like the head master. That's when 547 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 3: you get question after question Usually why when you're in trouble. 548 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 3: When you reflect, someone learns insights about what they just 549 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 3: said that would not have been a parent had you 550 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 3: not reflected back. And a lot of times asking question 551 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: after question is not great because they're going through the 552 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: same narrative and story that keeps them stuck in the 553 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 3: first place. Even a simple reflection like say any sentence 554 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 3: to me. I'll give you an example of a very 555 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 3: simple reflection. 556 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: Craig went to the supermarket. 557 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 3: So you went to the supermarket, and it's like, that 558 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 3: is a super simple reflection. Yeah, I went to the 559 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 3: supermarket because you know, I was out of milk. So 560 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: you now start to continue the conversation and you start 561 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 3: to explore and expand on what you're saying to a 562 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 3: much greater degree than if I just simply asked you 563 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 3: another question. So there's levels of reflection. There's simple reflections. 564 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 3: Then there's a reflection where I'm reflecting back what the 565 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 3: emotional con tent was, like, what did that feel like? 566 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 3: What was the emotion that I mean, probably hunger is 567 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 3: probably prompted that, But in a coaching conversation, what was 568 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 3: the emotion that I noticed in there? Or if you 569 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 3: go a step deeper, what was the need you just need? 570 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 3: You need peace, you need some time for yourself? What 571 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 3: was the request you're making of the world. And the 572 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 3: deepest level of listening is when you're listening from the future. 573 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 3: There's a future that's emerging as a result of the 574 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 3: conversational dynamic, and you're able to be here and in 575 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 3: that emerging future at once because you know the request 576 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 3: that somebody is making, or you're reflecting the request that 577 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 3: you are observing, and that is what starts to build 578 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 3: bridges between where people are and where they want to 579 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 3: be in the conversation and in the context of what 580 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: the conversation's about. So reflective listening becomes very powerful when 581 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 3: you're able to to reflect back what you were observing 582 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 3: that in that space you're holding for the person you're 583 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 3: listening to. 584 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: So my version of all of that is what are 585 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: they telling me that they're not saying? 586 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 3: Oh see, I could have just started with that and 587 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 3: just answered the question. Not very good at these. 588 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: No, no, you're great at that, You're great at strengths. 589 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think it's I love that, and 590 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 2: it actually makes complete sense that. Yeah, Like people are 591 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 2: always telling us something even when their lips aren't moving, 592 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: so it's trying to understand that. I think I love 593 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 2: this next one. This is not yours, but you shared it. 594 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 2: Tim Gorway's formula from The Inner Game of Tennis that 595 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 2: a lot of people. I don't know if you can 596 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: remember it, i'll share it with you, but a lot 597 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 2: of people have spoken it. Like if there was a 598 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: hundred books, I would pick this one based on the 599 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: title last. But so many people have talked about how 600 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 2: profoundly insightful and powerful this book is, which I have 601 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 2: not read, so I can't endorse that, but I've had 602 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 2: a lot of people tell me about this book anyway. 603 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 2: His formula is capital P equals lower case P minus I, 604 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 2: which I think is I didn't write it down. I 605 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 2: think it's performance equels potential minus interference. 606 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about I love this. He's talking about 607 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 3: removing what gets in the way. Let's go back to 608 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 3: public speaking. Yeah, if you go to a public speaking course, 609 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 3: very often they'll tell you how to construct a speech, 610 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 3: how to deliver a speech, how to stand, had a gesture, 611 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 3: how to emote, And that's good, but then other courses 612 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:52,879 Speaker 3: will identify who you are in moments when you communicate effectively, 613 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 3: impactfully and seamlessly, and it doesn't have to be in 614 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: front of an audience. Like we all have that friend 615 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 3: that when we go out with that friend, we're the 616 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 3: funniest version of ourselves because that friend holds a space 617 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 3: of openness, generosity, non judgment and they find us pretty funny. 618 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 3: We're always that funny. But how come we're more of 619 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 3: that version of ourselves with this person because we don't 620 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 3: have all of the internal interference of insecurity. Am I 621 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 3: doing this right? Is this a funny joke? Is this 622 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 3: going to land? Is this inappropriate? If I say this? 623 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 3: Am I going to make a connection in this meeting? 624 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 3: Or are they going to send me to HR? And 625 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 3: I'm going to have to explain myself, which I'm not 626 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 3: suggesting you say inappropriate things and meetings, But a lot 627 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,399 Speaker 3: of the things that gets in the way of our 628 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 3: potential is a matter of interference. It's removing what is not, 629 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 3: which is why I love that story about the David. 630 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 3: I tell that story all the time. We're the unveiling 631 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 3: of the David at the Palazzo dela Sonora in Florence, 632 00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 3: and Don Tello actually writes about this instant where Nichelangel 633 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 3: was asked how he was able to create something so 634 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 3: lifelike it was it was seems like it was created 635 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 3: from the hands of the divine and he explains, in paraphrase, 636 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 3: he didn't create the David. He saw the image of 637 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 3: the David trapped inside the marvel marble, and he removed 638 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 3: everything that was not the David. And that's a very 639 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 3: different perspective. And it's like, when you remove everything that 640 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 3: is not the masterpiece version of what sometimes shows up, 641 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 3: it is far more authentic, It is far more vulnerable, 642 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 3: It is far more relatable than trying to adapt a 643 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 3: set of practices that make you appear as this person. 644 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 3: So interference like like the inner game of tennis. It's 645 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 3: not like, okay, stand like this, serve like this. Okay, 646 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 3: you're gonna You're gonna rotate your hips in this manner 647 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 3: that's instructive. It's a matter of self awareness and what 648 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 3: you're focusing on, and by making subtle shifts and those variables, 649 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 3: removing the interference that gets in the way of who 650 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 3: you are when you're having the best game of your life. 651 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 3: Because if you had the best game you've ever had once, 652 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 3: it was a fluke. If you've done that twice, it's 653 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 3: a pattern. What are the variables, Let's get rid of 654 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 3: what gets in the way. 655 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:31,959 Speaker 2: Love it tell me about weaponized positivity. What an interesting term, 656 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 2: weaponized positivity? 657 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:40,720 Speaker 3: You know, I think that's when somebody utilizes a game. 658 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 3: Like here's another great book, and it's a book that 659 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 3: I want to warn people to read with caution because 660 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,479 Speaker 3: it's almost like those those illusioned images like the old 661 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 3: lady and the young girl. Yeah, look at it. You 662 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 3: see one verse. Once you see both images, you can 663 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 3: never see it. So once you read this, you're not 664 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 3: going to be able to unsee this. And this is 665 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 3: games people play. By talktor Eric Byrne, and he's talking 666 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 3: about transactional analysis, and one of the things that he 667 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 3: brings up is people are running a racket. It's when 668 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 3: I pretend to be doing one thing, but I'm really 669 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 3: doing something else that's not nice and it's not socially acceptable, 670 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 3: and there's a deeper motive and that's what I'm disguising, 671 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:36,240 Speaker 3: and that's what I define as toxic positivity. When somebody says, 672 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 3: I'll give you an example of this from my Wife's film. 673 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 3: There's a scene where this guy just got broken up 674 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 3: with by his girlfriend. He is devastated. He actually asked 675 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 3: her to marry him. He was so self obsessed he 676 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 3: didn't realize something had changed in the relationship. She was 677 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 3: having an affair, planning on leaving him. He accidentally bumps 678 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 3: into a woman at the supermarket, I mean bumps into 679 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 3: her knox or stuff all over the floor. They wind 680 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 3: up in her apartment later and they're having this conversation 681 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 3: and she's talking about the loss of her husband. Her 682 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 3: husband died last year. And he says, but at least 683 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 3: you had eight years with someone who loved you and 684 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 3: didn't choose to be leave you like happened to me. 685 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 3: They were taken away from you. At least you can 686 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 3: look on the bright side of that is what he's saying, 687 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 3: and that is the She gets very angry because that 688 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 3: is the least empathetic thing you could possibly say to somebody. 689 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 3: It's filled with self reference and self obsession, a little 690 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 3: bit of narcissism. If we're honest, I understand the persons 691 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 3: in pain, but that's toxic positivity. At least look at this. 692 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 3: But also you could choose to rather than that would wow, 693 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 3: you lost your husband, you felt so alone because you 694 00:39:53,719 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 3: didn't know where he ended, and you began it's unjust infuriating. 695 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 3: Like again, that's an example of empathetic reflection in a 696 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 3: conversation rope. You don't have to interject your own autobiography. 697 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 3: You don't have to interject a positive interpretation. Sit with it. 698 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and reflect back what you are observing and 699 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,800 Speaker 3: what that person is feeling, and you will deepen that connection. 700 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 3: M Yeah, that's that is. That is why toxic positivity 701 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 3: is so insidious to me. 702 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: And also intertwined with, as you said, narcissism and sociopathy 703 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: and psychopathy and all theopathies. Hey, I remember you saying 704 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: this to me, and I know you didn't invent this expression, 705 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: but you were the first to say it to me 706 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: years ago, and I went, fuck, I love that, and 707 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: it is don't believe everything you think. And I thought 708 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 1: it's so true and it's so obvious, but. 709 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 2: I'd never expressed that, and now I wheel it out 710 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 2: all the time. 711 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: I do credit you, but don't believe everything you think. 712 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: Just give us a few minutes on that. 713 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 3: There's multiple levels of reality, right, I mean the sun 714 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 3: rising in the morning. Well, whether or not you believe 715 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 3: it will, it's going to happen. So there's this absolute 716 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 3: reality that operates independent of your thought processes or beliefs. 717 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 3: If you never existed, that reality would still take place. Yes, 718 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 3: Another version of reality is perceptual reality. And that's very 719 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 3: real because it's real to you and a lot of times, 720 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 3: you know, we all interpret memories, and memory is very inaccurate. 721 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 3: Every time you recall a memory, you have to deconstruct 722 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 3: that synaptic pathway to a degree to recall that memory. 723 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 3: So recall by its new pal biological nature is inaccurate. 724 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 3: And how often you recall that memory and the state 725 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 3: of mind you're in, the emotion you're feeling, the intensity, 726 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 3: all of that influences the level of distortion of those memories. 727 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 3: But you use the interpretation of those past memories to 728 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 3: make predictions about the future. So you might feel that 729 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 3: you have no agency in a certain area of your life, 730 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,879 Speaker 3: and it's based on an interpretation. It's real, it's painful, 731 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 3: but you might not be aware of the times where 732 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 3: you were in tough situations and you acted with resilience 733 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 3: and creativity and agency. And like someone who grows up, 734 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 3: let's say, in a very violent household, you know, you 735 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 3: might adapt certain beliefs that, Okay, the only way I'm 736 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 3: safe is when I'm invisible. If I can make myself scarce, 737 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 3: I could avoid being targeted. And for a child who 738 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 3: has no defense mechanism, once drunk dad, you can almost 739 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 3: hear the sound of the heavy footsteps when dad's drunk, 740 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 3: versus when he's sober and he's stomping all over the 741 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 3: house to find somebody to target because he's infuriated you. 742 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 3: Being invisible is a very good strategy. Yet when you 743 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 3: grow up and you go out into the world and 744 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 3: you need to socially integrate and you have a job 745 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 3: in sales, being invisible is not a very good strategy. 746 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 3: But you have these thought processes in mind about how 747 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,359 Speaker 3: life is and how it occurs, and it's true in 748 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 3: that context, but it's not really true. And then I 749 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 3: don't know, maybe last night I didn't sleep very well. 750 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 3: Maybe you know, I ate shit all last week and 751 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 3: I disrupted my serotonin production. So I'm creating a version 752 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 3: of a narrative this week that's based on biology. It's 753 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 3: not rooted in reality. So you have to step back 754 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 3: and put a space between stimulus and response and ask 755 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,280 Speaker 3: a little bit more questions of yourself, like is this true? 756 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 3: And if this is true, how do I know? Do 757 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 3: I have evidence to dispute it? Because not everything you 758 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 3: think is rooted in reality. A lot of times it's 759 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,919 Speaker 3: rooted in emotional state and interpretation. 760 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,959 Speaker 1: Love it all, right, let's do two more. 761 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 2: So when I started my PhD, I actually was not 762 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 2: doing metapception, metaaccuracy, theory of mind, all the stuff that 763 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 2: I ended up doing. 764 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: I actually started three months. 765 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 2: I did about three months on motivation, and it was 766 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 2: such a such a fucking mine field, and it was 767 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 2: so it was such a slippery construct, right, And so 768 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,959 Speaker 2: my version now to I just want a couple of minutes, 769 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 2: a few minutes from you on motivation. So there's when 770 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 2: a lot of people talk about motivation, especially in the 771 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 2: getting in shape, you know, change your life, change your thinking, habits, behaviors. 772 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 2: People say things like I've just lost motivation, or I 773 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 2: am motivated, I'm in the zone on pump. So there's 774 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,800 Speaker 2: motivation the state, the emotional state or the mental state, 775 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,359 Speaker 2: and then there's motivation. So that's one, you know, kind 776 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 2: of very casual definition is how you feel your level 777 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 2: of motivation. 778 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: And then the other one is your reason your driver, 779 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: Like what is your motivation? What is your reason? What 780 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: is your driver? What is your why? 781 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 2: I want you just to give us your thoughts around 782 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 2: motivation and the role that it plays in helping us 783 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 2: or empowering us or limiting us to get where we 784 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:47,879 Speaker 2: want to go. 785 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 3: I am so glad you asked me this question. Sort 786 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 3: of it's a bit contentious for me because a lot 787 00:45:56,040 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 3: of people are really fond of saying motivation is not important, 788 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 3: it's this thing you need, and it's like, okay, when 789 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 3: you say motivation, what exactly are you talking about? Simply put, 790 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 3: motivation is whether it is a social influence, a physiological, 791 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,280 Speaker 3: psychological influence. It's a reason for doing something or behaving 792 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 3: in some way. If you don't have a reason for 793 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 3: doing something or behaving in some way, you might not 794 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 3: want to do it really. And then there's intrinsic motivation 795 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 3: that comes out of self determination theory that deals with 796 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 3: autonomy and my freedom to choose and personal relevance. It 797 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 3: deals with relatedness and it deals with the development of 798 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 3: mastery competence, if you will. Intrinsic motivation has been proven 799 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 3: in the literature to be a strong determinant of sustainable 800 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 3: behavior change over time. When people say I'm not motivated, 801 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 3: they're confusing motivation with enthusiasm. Like we have those moments 802 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 3: where you know, when you were a kid and you 803 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 3: watched Rocky and it's like, I am so enthusiastic to 804 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 3: go out and work out, and then the next day, 805 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 3: you know, it's been twenty four hours since you've seen 806 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 3: the film, and it's like it's it's cold, and it's 807 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 3: early in the morning. It's like, I don't feel like 808 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 3: doing this. Well, if you're relying on this emotional precursor 809 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 3: or prompt all the time, you're probably not going to 810 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 3: have the consistency to bring about any of the results, 811 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 3: whether they're extrinsic or intrinsic. So going off of enthusiasm 812 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 3: is a really shit strategy for long term behavior change. 813 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 3: Motivation is very deep motivations around what is meaningful to me, 814 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,680 Speaker 3: How does this align with my values? What do I 815 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 3: see for myself? In the future, and why does that matter? 816 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 2: Right, So you make a really valid point, and motivation, inspiration, 817 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 2: and enthusiasm as are typically used interchangeably as meaning pretty 818 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 2: much the same thing. 819 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 1: But it's not. 820 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 3: Right, not at all. I think one of the things 821 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 3: that would help in conversations is instead of arguing over 822 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 3: you said something and I don't one hundred percent agree 823 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 3: to it, So I'm going to launch into a monologue 824 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 3: on the internet maybe just hey, you know, when you 825 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 3: say that, what do you mean, well, you need discipline? 826 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 3: Well that sounds reasonable when you talk about discipline, what 827 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 3: do you mean by that? And it's a fair question 828 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 3: because we use words so ubiquitously and interchangeably. Sometimes somebody 829 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 3: is using the same exact word, but it means something different, 830 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 3: or it's it's quite different than the context of what 831 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 3: they're using it, of how they're using it, and we 832 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,839 Speaker 3: kind of get into these arguments without understanding what are 833 00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,399 Speaker 3: we really talking about here? 834 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:00,839 Speaker 1: Hm? 835 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 2: Love it all right now. I don't know if you 836 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 2: can tell this story in four or five minutes. This 837 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,399 Speaker 2: is probably the hardest question just in terms of being 838 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 2: able to execute. 839 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 1: The story of Perseville. 840 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 2: I don't know even if you remember it, but I 841 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,360 Speaker 2: saw it on your timeline. I'm like, I'm interested the 842 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 2: story of Personval, a young knight's journey to overcome dogma 843 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 2: and embrace his true nature. 844 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 3: Pirst of All was the story of a boy that 845 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:36,760 Speaker 3: became anate and he was tasked with a great purpose 846 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,319 Speaker 3: and failed in it initially. And the reason why he 847 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 3: failed in it initially is because he rejected his own 848 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 3: innate nature. He rejected his own inauthenticity based on a 849 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 3: promise that was made to his mother out of context. 850 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 3: That's the short of the story. The longer of the 851 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 3: story is pirst of All was an old child. His 852 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 3: brother and his father were knights and they were all 853 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 3: killed in battle, and Perceval, being the youngest, was spared 854 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 3: that fate and he's living with mom. So what do 855 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:14,920 Speaker 3: you think Mom's main intention around Perceval is at this 856 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 3: point having lost all of her sons and her beloved husband. 857 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 2: And the answer, I would assume to keep him alive 858 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,720 Speaker 2: and not send him into battle. 859 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, So, whatever you do, you don't want to be 860 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 3: a knight, stay away from knights, that is not for you. 861 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 3: You're gonna work here, you know, work around the house 862 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:40,720 Speaker 3: and make a modest living. Just for the love of heaven, 863 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,799 Speaker 3: do not engage yourself in things a bottle. So one 864 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 3: day he's he's, you know, playing about, you know, a 865 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 3: little bit far from his house and he sees these 866 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:54,359 Speaker 3: knights riding and he is just mesmerized and he ends 867 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 3: up joining them. They invite him on a quest. He 868 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,280 Speaker 3: goes home to tell mom. Mom's not enthusiastic in the least, 869 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 3: but she sees that, first of all, will not be persuaded. 870 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 3: There's something inside of him that needs to do it. 871 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 3: So she knows he's a very curious character, and he 872 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 3: always his curiosity inserts him in situations like kind of 873 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 3: like the one he's in right now. And she says, 874 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:25,320 Speaker 3: whatever you do, don't ask so many questions, please, because 875 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 3: she figures, at least if he doesn't go around asking questions, 876 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 3: it'll help him stay out of trouble. And he goes 877 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 3: along with these knights and he finds himself in the 878 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,840 Speaker 3: castle along these many journeys of the fisher King and 879 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 3: the fisher King. It's never really said what the wound is, 880 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 3: but he has a wound that is physical, but it's 881 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:47,319 Speaker 3: also spiritual, and he's die like the fisher. King is 882 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 3: severely inflicted emotionally, psychologically, and physically. He cannot sit, nor lie, 883 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 3: nor stand in any position and not be in excruciating pain. 884 00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,800 Speaker 3: And his lands have been laid to waste. Nothing grows, 885 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 3: his people are starving, they're struggling, and here comes this, 886 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,919 Speaker 3: this innocent fool. You know, he's, this innocent fool. He's 887 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 3: in the court. But it's prophesied that this innocent fool 888 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 3: will arrive in court and with a question, my lord, 889 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 3: what ails you? The king and his lands will be healed. 890 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 3: And they're waiting for him to ask this question. And 891 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 3: he's so curious. He wants to know what ails this king, 892 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 3: but he can't bring himself to ask this question because 893 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 3: his mother had made him promise, please just don't go 894 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 3: around asking these questions. And so he leaves, and the 895 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 3: king suffering continues, and so does his people, and he 896 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,240 Speaker 3: fails in this quest, and he goes on years and years, 897 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 3: and eventually he decides to go home and visit his mother. 898 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 3: And by that time he hears she has already passed, 899 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 3: and he has this revelation that because she has passed, 900 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:58,240 Speaker 3: he has kept his promise to his mother. This whole time. 901 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 3: And he goes back to the castle of the Fisher 902 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 3: King and he says, my lord, what ails you? And 903 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 3: because he was true to his nature and he fulfilled 904 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 3: his task with courage, the fisher King and his lands 905 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,000 Speaker 3: are healed. And that is the moral of the story, 906 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 3: is about living in authenticity to your nature. And there's 907 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 3: a lot of conversation around what is authenticity, and I 908 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 3: believe authenticity is when you are living your purpose. You 909 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 3: are living your highest values in any situation. Now that's 910 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:49,880 Speaker 3: something that we do with great error and inconsistency, but 911 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 3: you are acting on intention, if not imperfectly, to live 912 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 3: your values in any situation you find yourself in. 913 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 1: I love that story. I love that story. 914 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:05,400 Speaker 3: It's a great story, isn't it. 915 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 1: I like this little format with you. 916 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes when you're teaching, I just I 917 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 2: forget I've got to I've got to ask a question 918 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:16,919 Speaker 2: in a minute, and I just get it a little 919 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 2: bit enamored and a little bit like swept up in 920 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 2: the moment. 921 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: Hey mate. 922 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,440 Speaker 2: So Bobby's podcast is called the Self Help Antidote.
