I'm like, 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: that's hurtful. Have you got a payment coming up on 17 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: your beach house? Chat? What's going on?

So 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: he identified all of these, well he thinks that they 21 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, they've got to biopsy in them. But it 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: seems that they probably basil cell carcinomas, which are still 23 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: skin cancer. But you know, it generally doesn't kill you, 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: but it can turn into melanoma, et cetera. But anyway, 25 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: so he said to me, how do you feel about 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: about seeing a plastic surgeon, because there's you know, so 27 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: I can refer to you.

It would take like four or 30 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: five visits here. I go, I'll do four or five 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: visits here, thanks, And he goes, well, this one, so 32 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: I've got one right here on my face.

But in two weeks the stitches 43 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: it was barely even a scar. I was quite sad. 44 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: But I went to a plastic surgeon for that. It 45 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: was amazing. So if you know, if you want that 46 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: sort of cape, let me know. 47 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: Well, I said to him, I've got this thing here 48 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: right which is called a squire a cell, which is 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: or he thinks it's a square. It's like a clear 50 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: little thing. And he said have you ever He said, 51 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: how long has that been there? I said, on and 52 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: off a couple of years. He goes, what do you mean, 53 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: and on and off. I go, well, I did a 54 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: little bit of home surgery myself. And he goes, oh, 55 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: did you? And he I said yeah. So for people 56 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: thinking what is it's like the size of I don't know, 57 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: like a half a matchhead or something. Right, it's a 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: little like I got whiskers, so you can't really see it, 59 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 1: but if you look you can. And he goes, oh, 60 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: and what did that look like the medical procedure that 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: I did at home? I said, well, I cut it 62 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: off with nail clippers. And he's like, oh my god. 63 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: I go, but they were sharp. I go, it came 64 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: straight off. He's like, oh good, great. How did that 65 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: work out? I said, well, it was pretty bloody and 66 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: then it came back. He goes, yeah, yeah, well, maybe 67 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: let's not use nail clippers next time. I go, all right, 68 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: well you don't know, do you? 69 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: You know you need to take vitamin B three. It 70 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: helps protect protect skin cells from sun damage. You need 71 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: to get on that vitamin B three it's very cheap. 72 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: I think that ship might have sailed. I think that 73 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: I think that my skinner's fucked ship has sealed. I 74 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: look like a fucking desert boot and a T shirt 75 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: these days. 76 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: I go soon one covered in stitches.

Get your skin checked. 79 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: So I've been doing a series which I started the 80 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: day before yesterday, and then it was meant to be 81 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: five days straight. But I did a great interview yesterday 82 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: with Annabel Chauncey, which you later edited. Did you have 83 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: a did you just edit that like a robot or 84 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: did you happen to listen to any of that? 85 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: I listened to it, but on high speed, so I 86 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: like to listen back on a normal speed. 87 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: Right. She was great, She was great, what a great 88 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: human being. Like went over to she was working in 89 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: Kenya when she was or doing some stuff in Kenya 90 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: as like some volunteer stuff. She was going over there 91 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: to kind of assess needs. She was a Uni student, 92 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: she was doing law, and there was some civil unrest 93 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: and they essentially got ejected from Kenya and put into 94 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: Uganda and then she just like she had no intention 95 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: of doing anything or becoming a philanthropist store, you know, 96 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: creating a not for profit, and then she saw all 97 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: this stuff, and seventeen years later, she's now got schools 98 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: in Uganda and medical centers and feeding programs and you know, 99 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: she's educating kids who are now for the first time 100 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: ever in their community, going to university and becoming lawyers 101 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: and doctors. And it's so good. Like when I talk 102 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: to people like that, you know, I realize how amazing 103 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: humans can be. And you know, I think, what did 104 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: she say, service before self? And you know what I 105 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: found even more interesting, not more interesting, but what I 106 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: found interesting in the conversation and we'll get to our 107 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: topic in a moment, our topic, djure, is that I thought, oh, 108 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: maybe she's got like some spiritual churchy background or some 109 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, some spiritual philosophy, and she's like, nah, not 110 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: at all. I'm like, she's just like basically helping people, 111 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: serving people, you know, is a jam and just seeing 112 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: a need and trying to meet the need and so gorgeous. 113 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: So anyway, if you haven't listen to that, have a 114 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: listen to that now. The day before yesterday, before Annabelle, 115 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: I started a series which is just around five life 116 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: improving ideas, and the first one that I did was 117 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: about choosing the right path, not necessarily the easy or 118 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: comfortable or quick or painless path. I've spoken about that 119 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: a fair bit, but you know, it's like, well, we 120 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: have such a focus on the destination and the end 121 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: result that we want and the prize at the end 122 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: of the you know, the struggle. It's really the journey 123 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: and the struggle that makes us become the best version 124 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: of us. So that was all about that. I think 125 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: that was That was a good little chat. And today 126 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to literally talk about making yourself the project 127 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: in your own life. We should do a we should 128 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: start a show called The You Projective. 129 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: That sounds great. 130 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is because, well, for 131 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons, but I first realized the power 132 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: and the value of making things methodical and structured and 133 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: accountable and process driven before I really even understood science. 134 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: Like when I was eighteen years old, or not earlier 135 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: than that. When I was fifteen years old, I started 136 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: recording all my own training so I used I remember, 137 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: I actually remember my first ever training book. It was 138 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: a Green Exercise Book. I was living in Mwey at 139 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: the time with Ron and Mary, and I used to 140 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: do I would write my runs down, the distances that 141 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: I would run, I would write the times. I would 142 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: write how many push ups, sit ups, chin ups I've 143 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: done in a day. And what I was doing was 144 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: I was creating a training log. I didn't even know 145 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: that term, right, I didn't even use the word training. 146 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: I just used exercise, right. And you'll notice a lot 147 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: of people who don't work out in gyms, they don't 148 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: say the word training. They say the word at xcise, 149 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: which of course is accurate. Right. But over time, I 150 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, like until I was about thirty thirty one 151 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: or two, I recorded every day of you know, so 152 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: fifteen years of workouts. And then by the time I 153 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: was eight and nine, and I was recording food as well. 154 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: So I was courting meals, micros, macros, what time I 155 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: got up, what time I went to bed water, coffee, tea, supplements, 156 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,559 Speaker 1: all of that, and so I was very methodical about 157 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: what I did. But the result of that for me 158 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: was I really learned how my body worked. My mind 159 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: was always the problem. My mind was a fucking shit vest. 160 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: But I figured out how my body best worked over time, 161 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, being n equals one, that is me being 162 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: the participant in my own research, but me also being 163 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: the researcher. And then when I started started working in gyms, 164 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: obviously just as an instructor, writing programs and showing people 165 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: how to do stuff, a little bit of that, but 166 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: more so when I started doing one on one with 167 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: people as their coach, as their trainer. So by that 168 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: time I was when I first started peteing, I was 169 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: twenty two twenty three, and I set up my first 170 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: center at twenty six. But all of my clients had 171 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: a training diary or a you know, whatever we want 172 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: to call it, and everything diary, a health diary where 173 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: we put in all the things I said before sleep 174 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, sets, reps, volume, cardio, stretching, micro's, macro's, sleep supplements, 175 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: all of the things that would have an impact on 176 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: the end result. And so because you know, for well 177 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: most of us, if not all of us, especially when 178 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: it comes to food and lifestyle and our body and 179 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: all the decisions that we make around this, we can 180 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: be very spontaneous and emotional and periodically irrational when it 181 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: comes to making decisions and driven by instant gratification and 182 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: all of those things. So the idea, the long winded 183 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: intro is the idea I want to talk about today 184 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: is just making things strategic, being accountable, having a process, 185 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: and basically creating a project that is you optimizing you 186 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: in the middle of your own reality. I'll shut up 187 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: after this tip and you can jump in and whether 188 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: or not that is with your business, with your bank balance, 189 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: with your personal growth journey, whatever that means, your academic pursuits, 190 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: your physical health, your mental health. Like when we create 191 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: a protocol and we have a plan and we have 192 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: a structure, and we have accountability, and we have a timeline, 193 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: and we have resources, and we maybe have one or 194 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: two other people involved, then we create a practical reality 195 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: for ourselves where it's much harder to give up. And 196 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: I think that's important. 197 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: This is time. 198 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I'm going to tell a secret that 199 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: I wasn't going to tell. But I'm still not going 200 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: to post all of this on my own socials. This 201 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: is one of my things, but I'm going to say 202 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: it on your podcast today. I last night when I 203 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: woke up at one am and couldn't get back to sleep, 204 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 2: till probably after four. In the middle of that, I 205 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: made the decision to do seventy five hard, which is 206 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 2: a protocol. And I met with someone two days ago 207 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 2: and they were six days from finishing it, and we 208 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: had a big chat, and so I committed to that 209 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: last night and I one day one, and so it 210 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 2: just reminded, you know, I needed exactly what you were 211 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: talking about. I was like, you know what, there's just 212 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: I need to kick myself up the bum. I need 213 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: some structure and accountability, and they need some hard stuff 214 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 2: to happen. And that's it for me today. 215 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: That's great. That's great, and I think you know what's 216 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: good about things like that is obviously off the back 217 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: of the seventy five days you'll do. You know, you're 218 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: not going to do the seventy five and then go 219 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: live in the McDonald's car park and gain twenty kilos 220 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: in the subsect month, but you know, you'll go from 221 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: Some people think I'm against short term ish although that's 222 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: not that short, but short to medium term programs. I'm 223 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: definitely not. But I am I'm against people doing you know, 224 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: going nuts and then doing nothing for the six months 225 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: after that, you know, because It's like I put up 226 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: the post the other day about my new body transformation program, 227 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: and it had my new eight week body transformation program, 228 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: and I scrubbed out the eight weeks and I wrote 229 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: fifty years. And everyone's like, oh, that's the thing is that, 230 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, short term behaviors create short term results, and 231 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: nobody wants short term change. Everyone wants long term change, 232 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: and so you know, the long term change needs to 233 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: be accompanied by or preceded by long term thinking and strategy. 234 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: You know, So tell people what because the seventy five 235 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: hard If you're not sure, just google it, but tell 236 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: people what it is, because that is that is not 237 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: for the faint heart at that shit. 238 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: No, And what I like about it is it's not 239 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: it's not this. I'm not doing it for this reason either. 240 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: But it's not aimed to be a kind of body 241 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: transformation program. It's actually a mental fortitude program. It's seventy 242 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: five days of you have to do two forty five 243 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: minute workouts and one of them have to be outdoors. 244 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 3: You have to do. 245 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 2: Drink three gallons one gallon of water, which is almost 246 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: four leaders. I've been peeing like a race hourse today. 247 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,239 Speaker 2: Ten pages of reading, reading a real book, not audiobooks, 248 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: sitting and reading, and you have to follow a diet 249 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 2: that can be anything. So obviously I am cutting out sugar, 250 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: I'm having no junk and no alcohol and whatever. So 251 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 2: on top of that, I'm also just not sharing it 252 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: at this point. So but yeah, I like that. 253 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 3: I like that. It's you know, you have to find out. 254 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: I got up this morning, I'm like, all right, you 255 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: have to do forty five minutes outside. It's either going 256 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: to be an now or later. Pick you think, what 257 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: are you going to do? And you have to do it. 258 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: And it reminded me of a year ago when you 259 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: were training me for that show. And sometimes you need 260 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: something to have a purpose to get you doing what 261 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: you normally do. 262 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: Like that mindset is normally. 263 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: Typical for me, but it just hasn't been lately, and 264 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: I've been you know, you just gradually let things go. 265 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: You need that reminder of hey, I can get up 266 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: and do hard things and excuses can't get in the 267 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 2: way because there's no substituting this. 268 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: And when you fully commit, it's like you can't be 269 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: kind of committed. It's like you can't kind of jump 270 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: off a cliff like you're fucking you're jumping off the 271 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: cliff or you're not. 272 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, showing yourself that you're not, that you're not lying, 273 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: that you don't have to lie to yourself. 274 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: You're not a liar. 275 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: Do you know what I love the most about what 276 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: you've said. I love And I don't mean this to 277 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: sound in any way disparaging because I fuck around with 278 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: you with you posting shit or the time, which I 279 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: actually like, I just fuck with you, But but I 280 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: would love you to post zero about this until it's finished, 281 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: and then I would like you to do an episode 282 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: or two, or a post or whatever, an interview with me, 283 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: whatever on you know, just doing it where there are 284 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: there's no one.

Where it's just that's like why I recommend you, 290 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: know my protocol of going somewhere by yourself, well at 291 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: least three days, preferably ten and just you and you, 292 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: no phone, no computer, no television, no media, no social media, 293 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: no friends, no family, just you and your thoughts and 294 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: feelings and fucking you know, just trying to figure out 295 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: when there are zero distractions, like what comes up and 296 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: when everything's turned off? Who am I then? And when 297 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: no one's paying attention? Who am I? Then? Yeah? I'm 298 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: really interested. That's I don't know if I would last. 299 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: To be honest, I don't know if I would last. 300 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: That is, And I think, you know, there's this question 301 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: that I've asked a thousand times, and that is what's 302 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: your post motivation strategy? Like what happens once you're not? 303 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't mean for you, I just meant in general 304 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: for our listeners. It's like, why do we need structure, 305 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: accountability process, Why do we need plan what? Because most people, 306 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: with their body, with their training, I say most with 307 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: their food, with their genetic potential, with their time, with 308 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: their lifestyle, with their habits, most people are not strategic. 309 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: Most people just fucking stumble along and then wake up 310 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: at forty seven and go, oh my god, how did 311 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: I end up here? Or because you didn't have a plan, 312 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: you know, you didn't you didn't follow anything. There was 313 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: no structure, there was no self control, there was no discipline. 314 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 1: And this is not hate, This is just you know, 315 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: this is just self awareness and honesty. At some stage, 316 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, we need to go without beating ourselves up. 317 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: Oh that sun is really shining in the window. Hang on, 318 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: you can keep it going. I'm just pulling down the 319 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: blind hairds. You just keep rolling because I was getting. 320 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 3: Fucking any some on that skin hat. 321 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: We don't need more sun on this. But at some 322 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: stage you've got to go, Okay, I'm the solution. But 323 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: I've also been the problem in my own story because 324 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: I did all this dumb stuff. And yeah, we can 325 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,239 Speaker 1: go oh but ah, but ah, but and I get it. 326 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: I get it there. You know, there are lots of 327 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: variables and it's not easy to do the things we 328 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: need to do. I concur I agree, we'll get this. 329 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 2: The guy Chris is the guy that I'll speaking to 330 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: that's doing it in six days from finishing and three 331 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: weeks in he broke his ankle, still doing it, and 332 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: he works eighty to one hundred hours a week. He's 333 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: the most successful person I sat and talked about. He's like, 334 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: so I work eighty one hundred hours a week, but 335 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: you find time, you find ninety minutes. 336 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: It's easy. You just get it done. 337 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 2: I put an appointment in the diary and I just 338 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 2: get it done and I broke my ankle. I was like, oh, well, 339 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: well I can't run then I have to do this, 340 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 2: like and that just that inspired me to hear someone 341 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: say that and just look at him. 342 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 3: His vibrant. 343 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 2: He's successful, he's just getting it done. And I was like, yeah, 344 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 2: that's yeah. 345 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: I love that. Well, I'm going to get it done too. 346 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: Well. When you truly fully commit something, then you know, 347 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: like he's fully committed. And if you are literally fully committed, 348 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: then you'll just find a way to do it. And 349 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: of course, and this is the the circular conversation that 350 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: we have at the U Project is no, it's not easy. 351 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: No it's not convenient. No it's not instant, No it's 352 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: not painless. But nonetheless, people will still spend fucking decades 353 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: looking for the easy, painless, instant, you know, convenient path 354 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: and then one day, like eventually, eventually we either get 355 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: sick and die or hopefully a better option, we go okay, 356 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: So there is no shortcut, all right, There is no 357 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: fucking magic pill. But hopefully people figure this out sooner 358 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: than later, you know, like it's you know, you can 359 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: still turn things around in your older years, but it's 360 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: easier and better if you figure it out earlier and 361 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: you do something about it earlier, you know, because it's 362 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: just like that whole thing of you know, you can 363 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: get a new house, and you can, and you doo 364 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: have more money that I can't get another body. That's it. 365 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: You got one, So you got one. It doesn't matter 366 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: how you rationalize and justify and talk and explain, and 367 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: you still just got the one body though you still 368 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: only got that one. 369 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: Can't get another, and even you only get the one life. 370 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: And because the reason that this attracts me right now 371 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 2: has got nothing to do with body and everything to 372 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: do with I like me better when I'm the person 373 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 2: that does those things. I function better, I'm more productive, 374 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: I'm happier, I'm better to beat around, I perform better. 375 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: I like that version of Tiff, and the version of 376 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: Tiff that doesn't do those things, well, then that's just 377 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: a bit miserable. So there's but a lot of people, 378 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: myself included, at times we go, oh a little bit frumpy, 379 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: I gotta lose some weight. 380 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: I've got to get fitter, I've got to get leaner. 381 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 2: We go look for the body thing, but it's actually 382 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: the gift is in who I become in all parts 383 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 2: of my life. When I embody these behaviors. I think 384 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: when we can recognize that and attached to it, then 385 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 2: the transformation happens. Then we stick to the program. 386 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so where do we start? So you know, 387 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: we can start in a million places, but for me, 388 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: I think a really good place to start. If what 389 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about resonates with you, then you know, like 390 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: questions that I've asked myself and others over the years, are, Okay, 391 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: with my genetics, at my age, with my body type, 392 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: with my goals, what's the best way for me to 393 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: eat boom? That's a good question. What's the best way 394 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: for me to move my body? Okay? Me and booze? 395 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: Is Booz's going to help me? Or Hindy me? Hindu me? Okay? 396 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: Do you want that? No? I don't. Okay, But what 397 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: about you know, starchy carbi high sugary food. No cool? 398 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: So you're either going to have it or you're not 399 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: going to have it. That's a decision right, and yeah 400 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: we can, we can make it harder than it needs 401 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: to be or more complicated. But ultimately there are decisions 402 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: to be made moments moment, day to day, and those 403 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: decisions that we may make based off the questions that 404 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: we ask they are in many ways all determining because 405 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: life is just an ever ending series of questions and 406 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: choices and subsequent behaviors and outcomes. So you know, when 407 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: you get up in the morning and you say, all right, 408 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: what's the best breakfast? Not necessarily what's the yummiest, but 409 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: what's the best breakfast for me? Based on how I 410 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: want to feel and perform, have that breakfast. Okay, so 411 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: I can't get to the gym today, blah blah blah blah. 412 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: All right, well what can you do? Well, you know, 413 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: are there's stairs at work. Could you get into the 414 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: stairwell and walk three minutes of stairs a few times? Yeah? Sure, 415 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: So you do that five times. So you've done fifteen 416 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: minutes of stairs and you did three minute installments. Right. 417 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: It's like, if we want to find a way to 418 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: move the needle, we will find a way. If we 419 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: want to find a way to delay, to deny, to procrastinate, 420 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: to avoid, to rationalize, to make We'll do that, We'll 421 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: do that, and then we're five years older. I still going, 422 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: oh fuck, though no one understands, no one understands me. 423 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: I've got the hardest life in the world. Do you 424 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: do you or do you have a fucking shit attitude? Like? 425 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: You know, And I'm not saying I'm definitely not. I'm 426 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: a pussy sometimes, but you know, will you know Johnny 427 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: that we train with at the gym, you know, and 428 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: I know this is groundhog Day, but I just I 429 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: think about him and people like him that I've trained. 430 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: You know, this guy has a significant spinal cord injury. 431 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: His life is very difficult. Even to get to the 432 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: gym as difficult every day of his life. He has pain, 433 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: He has a lot of physical challenges. But he just 434 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: comes to the gym. He just comes like he just 435 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: turns up and he doesn't complain, and he brings his 436 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: pain and he's broken body with him and we give 437 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: him a fucking hug and a cuddle and we talk 438 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 1: to him and we help him through his workout. And 439 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's like, if you want to find a way, 440 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: you'll find a way. If you want to find an excuse, 441 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: You'll find an excuse. And yes, this is somewhat cliche, 442 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: but you know, we all need to realize that that 443 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: in a minute we're going to look up and it's 444 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: going to be another year. It's going to be another 445 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: two years. And you know, sometimes the thing that needs 446 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: to change in the moment is the kind of inner 447 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: dialogue about all this stuff, because that in a dialogue 448 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: and questions and you know, the kind of self talk 449 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: and the stories really in a large way kind of 450 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: determines what we do and what we produce moving forward. 451 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I reckon getting separation between our thoughts and 452 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 2: or kind of not identifying with them, Like I think 453 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 2: more of it as I'm having a shit attitude. I'm 454 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 2: having shit thoughts. My thoughts are really negative lately, but 455 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: that's not me. So rather than saying I'm really negative, 456 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 2: I'm it lately, that just kind of compounds it and 457 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: makes me more of the shit. Or when you just go, 458 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 2: all right, I'm having a lot of shitty thoughts lately, 459 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 2: and I'm I'm thinking in a really demotivated manner and 460 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 2: I'm thinking really negatively. That's interesting, That's not how I 461 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 2: normally am I'm different. I need to figure this out. 462 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, beautiful distinction. Yeah, because you are not. You are 463 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 1: not the thought, you are not the feeling. 464 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 3: Because comparisons you are. 465 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you are not the story. You're just the storyteller. 466 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: You're just the thinker. You're just the feeler. But there's 467 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: a distinction between the thought, the feeling, the story and 468 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: you the producer of all of that stuff and knowing 469 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: where the thought ends and you start, you know, and 470 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: that's yeah, and it's you know, this is how I feel, 471 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: and that's okay, and all of this stuff. Like I said, 472 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: this is not about beating yourself up. This is just 473 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: about acknowledging what is and then dealing with what is 474 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: so that you know, the reality for me is, I'm 475 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sixty and I don't have great genetics, 476 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah, all that stuff that 477 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: we've all heard too much. And you go, all right, well, 478 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: with my not great genetics and my sixty year old 479 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: self and my fucking thirty seven skin cancers and fucking 480 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, blah blah blah, with all of that, what 481 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: can I do? Well? You know, can you go to 482 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: the gym today? You can? Yep? Can I bench press 483 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: like I used to? Nut?

Can you bench press at all? Yeah, 486 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: but probably on a ball with dumbbells is better than 487 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: on a bench with okay, so do that? Well? What 488 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: else can you do? Can you squad? Not really kind 489 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: of fucks up my discs? Can you lead press?

Let's do that. Let's not wait for Christmas. 497 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: Let's not wait for summer. Let's not wait for Monday. 498 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: Let's not wait for a fucking round of applause or 499 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: a trophy. Let's not post our fucking breakfast on Instagram again, 500 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: Let's not do that. 501 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 3: I will in seventy five days. 502 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: Seventy five days, It'll be a fucking nightmare. It'll it'll 503 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: just be a week of just saturation. Oh God, oh God, 504 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: is with that? Thing. I've spoken to people about it, 505 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: but I can't remember. Is it different stuff every day? 506 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: And no? Is it? 507 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 2: That's there the guidelines and you can go as hard 508 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: or you know, do whatever, but they're the guidelines. 509 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: Tell me the guidelines again. So reading ten pages every day. 510 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 2: Reading ten pages every day of like a self improvement 511 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: type of book. Yeah, two forty five minute workouts. One 512 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 2: of them must be outdoors, right, take progress picture. To 513 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: drink a gallon of water which is almost four liters, 514 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 2: and follow a diet so there's no specifications around the diet. 515 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 2: Have some diet guidelines that suit you, and no cheap 516 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 2: meals or alcohol. You know what's interesting? Chris talked about 517 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 2: how how great it is that he's doing this and 518 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: he's doing it for charity so that people will leave 519 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: him alone on the drinking front. Our culture around drinking. 520 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 2: He goes, if it wasn't for charity, goes, people had 521 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: just put alcohol in my drink on me, Like, isn't 522 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 2: that ridiculous?

He goes, I like isn't 527 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: that sad? Why why did we drink? Because I was 528 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 2: born thirty you know, like that or nine years ago. 529 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: Well, let's hope he didn't drink in his first ten 530 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: birthdays tips so maybe not the first one in thirty 531 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: nine years, but as an adult, let's say. 532 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: Just as I went to say it, I'm like, yeah, 533 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 2: and I was like, I can't bothered with the calculations. 534 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: I know. 535 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: It's like he's not telling people that he's told people 536 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: he's got another twenty seven days to go. He is, oh, 537 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 2: I think got about twenty to go. He finishes in 538 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 2: a couple of day. I think Sunday, he finishes few days, 539 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 2: but he won't tell him because he doesn't want the 540 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: wrath of people wanting to drag him back down. 541 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you can change that though. I mean, you know, 542 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: I get asked very rarely, and if I do, I 543 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: shut it down. Like people are just you know what, 544 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: people are not fascinated that I don't drink. They're fascinated 545 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: that I've never drunk, never drunk. Yeah, And the amount 546 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: of people who repeat the question, they go, oh, you 547 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: don't how long I go, I've never drunk, And they go, 548 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: you've never drunk. I go no, They go, you've never 549 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: had alcohol. I go no, And then they go, you've 550 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: never had a beer. I go, I just fucking told 551 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: you I've never had alcohol, So that includes beer. 552 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 2: That's when you're in the middle of it, you just go, 553 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 2: I was addicted to crack at twelve, so. 554 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but don't fucking try and hide my 555 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: cheesecake or I'll stab you in the throat. Now I'm 556 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm past that phase, all right, team, So what's the 557 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: take home? The take home is get strategic, creative timeline, 558 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: creative process, write it down. Research tells us, and my 559 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: observation tells me that the more you write, the more 560 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: you track things, whether or not you use that with 561 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: an app or an old fashioned diary where you actually 562 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: have some paper and a pen. The more that you track, 563 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,959 Speaker 1: the more that you're likely to maintain the behavior, the 564 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: more you're likely to create the outcomes you want to create. 565 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: But also in the middle of all of that tracking 566 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: and that recording is this thing that happens called awareness 567 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: and understanding. All of a sudden, you go, oh, look 568 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,719 Speaker 1: what I ate today, and this is how I feel. 569 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: Look at what I ate the other day and that's 570 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: how I felt. And so what you're doing is you're, essentially, 571 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: through this process, you're teaching you about you, so that 572 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: the operating system which is essentially paying attention to and 573 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: then subsequently making decisions around data that you are collecting. 574 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: So give it a crack kids, Thanks TIV. 575 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 3: Thanks Harps. So day two tomorrow, right, day two tomorrow. 576 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: Only seventy four days to go. Yep, you're going to 577 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: be a fucking nightmare for the next seventy four days. 578 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll go away, see ya, see ya,
