No from your perspective, Lewis, Well, 20 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: I'm just, you know, minding my own business, trying to 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: be a nice human being, walking around enjoying my life, 22 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: and I'm I go into an elevator here, uh, and 23 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: just get slammed the Elbert just slams on me in 24 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: the middle of my body as I try to enter 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: the elevator. Why is that? I don't know your your 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: co host is slammed it on me because she didn't 27 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: want it to enter the elevator. So did you pull 28 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: that trick? Gandhi? Hello Lewis, and we're both from Ohio. 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: If you were from Michigan and I would understand. All right, 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: So you were on the elevator and you saw you 31 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: saw a body coming towards you, and you said closed door, 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: close door close, did the thing where there are people 33 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: in the elevator, and then he was a late guy 34 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: to the elevator. So I was like, oh, not today, 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: not on my watch to try to get somewhere. But 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: I told him I tried to do it. I was like, 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: usually when someone's late the elevator, I hit the door 38 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: closed button on them. But he made it in and 39 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: he said he said, yeah, I would do that too. 40 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: Then we move on from that. Yes, you know, I 41 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: really a really good friend. Matthew Hussey said, you got it. 42 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: You gotta ask Lewis next time he's in town, if 43 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: you can come in and talk to you. I've been 44 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: going over your story. Interesting story, yeah, uh gosh, doing 45 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: college football and then an injury kept you from that 46 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: dream happening. Your father got very sick and you dealt 47 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: with that. You know, these are the challenges in life. 48 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: Whether you have big ones as dramatic as those or 49 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: less dramatic, there's still challenges. And you find yourself in 50 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: a ditch and you find yourself wondering, well, what is 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: my what's my play? Yeah, so tell me about it? 52 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Well interially, because I became very successful in athletics, and 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: then I got injured and I transferred that skill set 54 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: of setting goals, of going after a vision of working 55 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: hard and being consists in business. And ten years ago 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: I moved to La from New York City, and for 57 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: whatever reason, everything started to break down in my life. 58 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: But I was being quote unquote successful in certain elements. 59 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: So I had a successful business, I was making money, 60 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: I was healthy. But for whatever reason, I was just 61 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: breaking down in every relationship in my life. And I 62 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: remember being stuck in La traffic. I don't know if 63 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: you've been to La much and stuck it. It takes 64 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 1: like two hours to go two miles right. I was 65 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: stuck in LA traffic, and I remember thinking to myself, 66 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: everything is breaking down inside of me and every relationship 67 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: around me, and I feel stuck. And I was literally 68 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: stuck in LA traffic, not happy for moving from New 69 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: York because I love New York City to LA for 70 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: a girl that didn't work out, by the way, that 71 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: was one of the things that felt stuck. And I 72 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: remember looking everyone around me in the cars like screaming 73 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: and swearing at each other and flipping people off, honking 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: the horn and just angry. And people are going through 75 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: that right now while listening to this exactly, and I 76 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: remember thinking, I feel stuck in everyone else around me 77 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: as we're stocked in traffic is kind of like frustrated 78 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: and cutting people off and being angry. And I go, man, 79 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: I got to find a way to overcome this stuck 80 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: feeling in my life physically getting out of this traffic, 81 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: but also emotionally and mentally. And that's when I started 82 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: going down this path of seeking out mentors, guides, teachers, 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: therapist coaches to help me overcoming this stuck feeling. And 84 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: that's been a ten year journey now, so I guess 85 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: it's safe to say you're no longer stuck. I think 86 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: we're always a work in progress. So it's not like 87 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I don't feel stuck. It doesn't work 88 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, But it's just we're always growing, we're evolving. 89 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: We always have challenges that are going to face us 90 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: at different seasons of life right as we grow and overcome. 91 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: So how do we address this? Well, first of all, 92 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: you have to realize there's something to address, and you 93 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: realize that in the middle of a traffic jam in 94 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Los Angeles or traffic jam in your life. Well, people 95 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: are listening right now, and I maybe one of them. 96 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: To be perfectly honest, where we're in I don't want 97 00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: to use the word rut, but that's sort of it 98 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: stuck in place. Really why I don't know? And well, 99 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: and the reason I don't know is I haven't taken 100 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: the time or haven't had the courage to try to 101 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: unpack that stuff. Yeah, I think we got to ask 102 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: ourselves courageous questions. It's one of the things I talked 103 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: about a lot. And if things are coasting or we're 104 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: just in the mundane or the consistency of life, and 105 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: we don't stop to reflect. I think an off season 106 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: is always a great time to ask ourselves these courageous questions, 107 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: do I want to keep going down this path that 108 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: I'm going down. That's why in sports you take a season, 109 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: you take the off season to reflect and say do 110 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: I want to play the sport next season. We just 111 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: saw Tom Brady finally retire for the second time. He reflected, 112 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: he asked these questions. And if we don't stop to 113 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: ask the courageous questions, we can feel stuck. We can 114 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: feel trapped, we can feel like we're in a rut, 115 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: like we're overwhelmed, like what's the purpose? What's the meaning 116 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: of my life right now? And I think it's important 117 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: to us those questions. So what I like to question 118 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: is kind of what I have to ask people is 119 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: kind of a vulnerable question. I don't know if you're 120 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: open to try to look an avulnerable questions? Well, everybody, sure, 121 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: we can all try. Yeah, let's put everyone on the cross. 122 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: Maybe my nemesis, you know, maybe maybe she can start 123 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: to say something vulnerability. We have no problem with vulnerability. 124 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: This is a self assessment question. So if you're driving 125 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: and you're stuck in traffic right now. Ask yourself this 126 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: question on a scale of one to ten. Call it 127 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: the inner piece, self acceptance, self love scale. Let's just 128 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: work with me here, call it the inner piece. I 129 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: feel peaceful, I feel loved, I feel accepted for who 130 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: I am in my life. Scale one ten, ten being 131 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: you love and accept yourself fully and you have a 132 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: lot of peace in your heart emotionally, one being you 133 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: just are frustrated. You're angry, you don't have peace, you 134 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: don't have clarity, none of that. You don't have love 135 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: for yourself. You feel frustrated all the time, you feel 136 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: stuck all the time. Okay again, where would you be 137 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: on that one to ten scale. We'll start with our 138 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: nemesis over Gandhi. Yes, I think I'm probably at an 139 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: eight with inner peace. That's great. Yeah, I feel really 140 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: good self love, self acceptance. You're you're in a great 141 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: place in your life and your relationships, in your career. 142 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: You feel like I'm I'm I'm working, I'm going great. 143 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: I think so. And it took a long time to 144 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: get here, and it hasn't been that way my whole life. 145 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: But I would say for the past few years. That's 146 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: definitely where I've been. Now. When it comes to how 147 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: do I feel as far as being accepted by others, 148 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: that number would change drastically. But I think that that 149 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: also goes to the fact that I have inner peace. 150 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: I don't really care. That's that's the key. Because we 151 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: can't control how other people think about us, what they 152 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: say about us, what they if they judge us or 153 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: they love us. But if we accept and love ourselves, 154 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: that's the key, right and Gandhi Gandhi is the light 155 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to that approach. What about you, Danielle, 156 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: I feel like kind of the same seven or an eight? 157 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: Are we disappointing you that we're feeling I feel like 158 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm very happy. My family's good. Um, you know, I 159 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm happy with my job. I just feel 160 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: like I wake up every day in a good mood. 161 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: My health is good. That's great, amazing, amazing. This is 162 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: a very complex question to answer, and I'll tell you 163 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: why I'm on an eight as well. But you did 164 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: use a word called clarity. Clarity I have. I'm a one, 165 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: I have a two, So I mean some things you're 166 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: an eight or nine, but then other things you're a 167 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: one or self exemptance and love them for myself. Absolutely. 168 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: The clarity is kind of a lost, foggy thing and 169 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: one of the one of the elements of a greatness 170 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: mindset versus a powerless mindset. This is not a make 171 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: wrong good or bad, right or wrong. This is just 172 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: is it useful and effective in my life? Is the 173 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: lack of a meaningful mission makes us feel more powerless 174 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: in our life. When we are clear on our meaningful mission, 175 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: which is part of the greatness mindset, we feel more abundant, 176 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: we feel more light, we feel more focused, energized. So 177 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: it's when we're lacking clarity. You could be at the 178 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: top of the world in your career like you are. 179 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: You're you've been doing this for what twenty something years more, 180 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: But you could be at the top. You could be 181 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: at the top. Here's an interesting thing. I asked this 182 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: to Drew Barrymore yesterday on her show, and she says 183 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,359 Speaker 1: she's a five okay, And you can be super successful. 184 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: You can be a happy person and still feel stuck 185 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: or just unclear and feel like there's something inside I 186 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: feel like I'm not sure what to do next. I 187 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: feel stuck and again This is not to make wrong 188 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: or anyone's bad or anything. It's just is that helping 189 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: you in this courageous question, this reflection point, whether it's 190 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: the end of a chapter, the end of a career, 191 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: the end of a relationship, or just in the middle 192 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: of the show right now asking ourselves these things, or 193 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: a middle traffic asking all right, is everything working the 194 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: way I wanted to work? If not, that's okay, but 195 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: I've got some work to do well okay. By the way, 196 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: just reminds you the greatest mindset unlocked, the power of 197 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: your mind and live your best life today. The book 198 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: from Lewis House which is already a New York Times 199 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: bedseller look at that, or the author is a best 200 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: selling author. And this will be of course at the top. 201 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: But let me clarify something with you asking the big 202 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: questions like who are you? And what do you want 203 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: to portray to the world? And we were talking last 204 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: sign at dinner another conversations like what's your playbook? What 205 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: is your playbook? Look, you're on the field, what exactly 206 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: are you there to do? Where do you want to run? 207 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: Where do you want to go? And how do you 208 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: want to get there? And are you on the right field. 209 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: Exactly are you on the right field? And you have 210 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: a game plan for taking action to getting what you want? 211 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: So can you clarify for like, just anyone USA driving 212 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: work right now? Apply it to a teacher, to a doctor, 213 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: to a nurse, to an anyone like I feel like 214 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: a little loss, but they can't figure the answers out. 215 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: I think the enemy of greatness is lacking a meaningful mission. 216 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: And I believe anyone can be great. And it takes 217 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: us being clear on what a meaningful mission looks like 218 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: to us, what does a mission? What does a meaningful mission? 219 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: A meaningful mission is you taking on and declaring the 220 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: life you want to live that is fulfilling to you 221 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: and also in service and support to others. It's not 222 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: sacrificing yourself to give to everyone else around you. It's not. 223 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: It's not giving up your health and your dreams to 224 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: just be there for others like I know a lot 225 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: of people do. It's doing both. How can I optimize 226 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: my health? How can I optimize the love and the 227 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: peace for myself to pursue the dreams that I have, 228 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: the things that fulfill me, that light me up, but 229 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: also inspire the people around me in that pursuit, using 230 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: my gifts and talents to pursue it and help others. 231 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: And that's that's enough, being of service to others, scent 232 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: and lighting yourself up as you said, as Diamond would 233 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: say in there, like make your life pop, be popping. Yeah, 234 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: and that's how to do it, be popping. But I 235 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: think you've got to define in one sentence what your 236 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: meaningful mission is so we are clear. How do you 237 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: do that? This is where I think a lot of 238 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: people are lost. There's three piece for this process of 239 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: discovering your meaningful mission. And it doesn't mean it's going 240 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: to happen overnight. It doesn't mean you know, you might 241 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: get clear right away. It might take a season of 242 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: figuring things out, trying a bunch of things. It might 243 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: take six months, a year, years until you get really 244 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: clear on what that is. So you don't have to 245 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: beat yourself up if you're not clear right now. But 246 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: it's figuring out number one first pe your passions, your likes, 247 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: your interests, your curiosity, and just yourselves. What would I 248 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: do if I could do anything and I didn't have 249 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: to worry about money? What would light me up? What 250 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: would make my life pop something I'm excited about. Your 251 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: first P is your passion. The second P is your power. 252 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: What are the talents and the gifts that you have 253 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: that are unique to you? And I didn't think I 254 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: had a lot of gifts. After sports was done, I 255 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: went into the business world not knowing anything about business, 256 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: but I had goal setting skills. I had the ability 257 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: to connect with people. I had the ability to ask 258 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: interesting questions, but I didn't think that would transfer. But 259 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: it was a power of mine. So get clear on 260 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: your superpowers. And the third thing is figuring out the 261 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: problem you want to solve. What is the problem I 262 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: want to solve in my world. It doesn't have to 263 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: be even to cure cancer in the world, but how 264 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: do I want to solve problems in my community, with 265 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: my family, with my friends, and in my society. So 266 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: if you can start to ask yourself these three things, 267 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: and I go over exercise in the book how to 268 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: kind of like massage and figure those out more. But 269 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: getting clear on those will help you create a one 270 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: sentence mission statement is to serve and impact one hundred 271 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: million lives weekly to help them improve the quality of 272 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: their life. That is my mission. And you do. There 273 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: are different there are different mechanisms that I can do 274 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: that with, and it can evolve over time on how 275 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: I do that. But that gives me direction. It doesn't 276 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: mean it's actually going to happen. It gives me direction 277 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: on what to say yes or no to where to 278 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: put my energy, time and attention to. It doesn't mean 279 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm not going to have challenges and adversity and problems. 280 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: It just means I'm more focused and I know where 281 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm going. Your podcast is huge? How many hundreds of millions? 282 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: I think I have six hundred million downloads total? Okay, yeah, 283 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: not shabby, Yeah it's not actually, but it really tells 284 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: a story like why would six hundred million downloads need 285 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: to occur in this world of ours? Well, because people 286 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: have a desire to be better. I'm not This conversation 287 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: with Lewis isn't only about people who are lost or 288 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: it's It's also about people who don't want to be lost. 289 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: They are motivated and people that want to stay feeling good. 290 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: You know, the reason I keep having coaches in my 291 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: life and this and relationships and health and have mentors 292 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: and friends that inspire me is because I want to 293 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: stay feeling good. I don't want to stop. It's an 294 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: addiction as a habit. Hey, Andrew, Andrew, Yes, Andrew and Orlando, 295 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. It's a guy for it's a 296 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: man from Florida. It's got to be an interesting story. 297 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: That's no. I'm from New York, but I live down here. Now. 298 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: What's going on? Andrew? How? How is what Lewis is 299 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: saying resonating with you? Yeah? I just kind of I 300 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: heard him say, you know, the feeling stuck part, and 301 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: in my last place of employment, I won't name names, Um, 302 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: I just kind of felt stuck. I didn't really know 303 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: I was in a rut, right, you know, I didn't 304 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: know what to do. Um. You know, the paychecks were 305 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: coming in, it was saying the bills, so you know 306 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: that part was great and all, but everything else was horrible. 307 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: And I didn't know what to do. And you know, 308 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: I see some one of my good friends around me 309 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: making big strides in his career, and I said to myself, 310 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, if he could do it, 311 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: if anyone could do it, I could do it right. 312 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: And I kind of took that step on a whim. 313 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: I I quit my job without another the job, and 314 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: I probably spent a good month or two figuring out 315 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, and now I'm at a 316 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: place and I couldn't be happier. So it just kind 317 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: of resonated with me about the feeling stuck part. There's 318 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: the word courage is very relevant here. I mean, it 319 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: does take courage, and it takes some It takes courage 320 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: to make that leap. But also it seems like to me, 321 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: you just to be a really brave person not to 322 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: try that leap and just try to keep on going 323 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: with what you're doing, that it takes so much effort 324 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: to not put an effort to me, I don't know, Yeah, 325 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: I agree, I think it. You know, if there's a 326 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: period of time where it's like enough is enough, If 327 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: you feel like you're so stuck, you're so trapped for 328 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: so long in one place, uh, then you don't want 329 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: to live in regret for ten twenty more years saying 330 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: well I didn't have the courage to leap, to go 331 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: somewhere else or try something different. I can't wait to 332 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: quit today. What'd your dad say? Well, Andrew, what did 333 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: your dad say? He always says, if you're sick and 334 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: tired to being sick and tired to do something about it. 335 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: If you like in anxiety or like something that's holding 336 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: you back with you don't have the confidence in yourself 337 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: to make that leap. And you know, maybe you do 338 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: have the talent, but you just there's some mental block 339 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: going on. There's two things. One, we've got to face 340 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: the things that cause us doubt insecurity. I believe self 341 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: doubt is the killer of all dreams. We can have 342 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: all the talent, all the skills, all the accomplishments, all 343 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: the schooling or whatever it might be, and we can 344 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: have everyone else telling us you're great, you can do it, 345 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: you're the best. But if we don't learn to believe, 346 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: it'll never happen. We'll always buckle under pressure, we'll always 347 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: be scared. So we've got to face the things that 348 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: cause us to doubt and be insecure the most, and 349 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: we need support in doing that. I don't think we 350 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: should do it alone. Find support, Find a mentor a 351 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: friend and advise or a coach to guide you in 352 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: that process. And what about people on like a micro 353 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: level of this. So let's say there's somebody who says 354 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: I'm a single mom, I have three kids. I don't 355 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: have the luxury to quit my job and just start 356 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: something new. Where do they start with little things that 357 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: they can change? And I'm not Yeah, go ahead, good question, 358 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: and I don't think you should. I think and probably 359 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: had some you know, financial reserves in the bank where 360 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: he could leap into, you know, saying I don't know 361 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: what my next job is going to be. I never 362 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: recommend jumping out of something right away. I always recommend 363 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: having a conversation with the people at your work and saying, hey, 364 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: how can I make this better for myself? What can 365 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: I do? I'm not happy right now, and I want 366 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: to make sure that I'm really happy and you're happy 367 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: with me. So I think first having those uncomfortable conversations 368 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: that people don't like having with their boss or their 369 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: team to resolve issues first at work. But if it's 370 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: really not the mission they're on, they're not aligned with 371 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: the values of this place, I think it's finding out, Okay, 372 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: where do I really Where would be my ideal dream 373 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: place to go locally or virtually now that you can 374 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: work almost anywhere in the world virtually, and how can 375 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: I start creating a game plan around where I'd like 376 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: to go in the future, not leaving right away, but 377 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: just start reviewing and researching what that could be interesting 378 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: text here, I'm a counsel person. I serve our city, 379 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: I work hard, I take care of my family. I'm 380 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: holding on by a thread, holding on by a thread. 381 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: It's a very, very very visual. Well, usually when we're 382 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: when we're holding on by a thread, or we feel 383 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: that stuck or trapped in life, there's something inside of 384 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: us that has yet to process fully. There's something inside 385 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: of us that has yet to realize, and that could 386 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: be in breakdown and relationships. This is what I felt. Again. 387 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: I had success externally, but I was holding on by 388 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: a thread internally, and I was in breakdown mode, and 389 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: I was like, why am I so anxious? Why am 390 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: I so stressed? And it really starts with two things. 391 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone saw Creed they, let's say 392 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: Creed three recently. Well, I don't want to spoil the 393 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: whole thing, but I won't spoil it by this story. 394 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: But the main character, Michael B. Jordan, he is he 395 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: has won the world championships right, he is the greatest 396 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: boxer of our time. He is have all the money's 397 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: in the top of the Hollywood Hills. He's got all 398 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: of it, and he retires at the top. But then 399 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: he's an emotional breakdown. He can't open up with his wife, 400 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't connect with his daughter's he's breaking down and 401 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: has someone anxiety, And you think, why you have all 402 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: the success in the world, But there's something he has 403 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: an addressed from his past. There's something he hasn't faced, 404 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: and his past continues to chase him. As he was 405 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: running away from his past his whole life. He was 406 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: going after success. He was going after the career, of 407 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: the job, the marriage, the kids, the family. But if 408 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: we're running away from something that is scaring us still 409 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: that we don't want people to know about. Another tenet 410 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: of the powerless mindset versus greatness mindset concealing past pains. 411 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: If we hold on to our past and we don't 412 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: process it, it will continue to make us feel like 413 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: we're holding on by a threat. So we must learn 414 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: to process the things that have hurt us, that have 415 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: upset us, the relationship breakdowns we have, and if we 416 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: just mask them or run from them, they'll keep chasing us. Wow. 417 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: But you know, chasing the past and figuring this out 418 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: and uncovering these things. It's not easy and it's it's painful, 419 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: but it's necessary. Eventually the thread will snap if you 420 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: don't do it. Well. I'm glad we don't just see 421 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: Creed anymore. One more thing and then I don't know, 422 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: we gotta process all of this. And then I got 423 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: to tell you about the book in the podcast because 424 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: I want everyone to participate in what you do. Scary 425 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: was talking about how, you know, how do you drown 426 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: out the outside noise, which is always sort of an 427 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: obstacle in achieving missions, and I guess this could lead 428 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: to procrastination, It could lead to not being focused on 429 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: what your goal is. It's you know, Gandhi over here, 430 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: who's an eight consistently she's learned how to accept and 431 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: love herself for her past. You know, you don't feel 432 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: at an eight consistently in all areas of your life 433 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: if you aren't peace with yourself, and so you're going 434 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: to be constantly trying to drown out the past. If 435 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: you don't accept and love you, if you don't learn 436 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: how to say I believe in me, I'm acceptance of 437 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: where I'm at my life. Maybe there's some mistakes I've 438 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: made or things I wish I did differently, but I 439 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: accept those things now because I can't change the past. 440 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: So it's learning how to process it, and so you 441 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: can be at peace even when you were saying, well, 442 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: maybe other people judge me, I don't like certain things, 443 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: but you and you accept things, and so that makes 444 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: you not feel overwhelmed or frustrated all the time, except 445 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: for when you're trying to close the elevator. I've learned 446 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: for my past mistake not to do that anymore, right, Yes, 447 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: because you know the guest is coming on the next thing. Well, 448 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't, I would say, out of all 449 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: of us in this room, and maybe Daniel will agree. 450 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: Gandhi is really great at letting things roll off. Yeah, 451 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Why do you think that is when 452 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people can hold on to grudges forever. Yeah. So, 453 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: not to get too deep here, but I think being 454 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: Indian and growing up in Ohio where you know that 455 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: we were oh h I owe. Actually, um, I was 456 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: always the other so I never fit in and I 457 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: just kind of let it go at a younger age 458 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: because everybody around me was different from me, and I 459 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: was always a different person. So there's certain things even 460 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: if I wanted to change them, which I don't like 461 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: my skin color, that you can't. So you just have 462 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, well, this is me and this 463 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: is how it's always going to be. So if these 464 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: people hate me for that, they're gonna hate me for that. 465 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: But I love me and I love me for that. 466 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? Exactly? Gay, you'll get strong? 467 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: Well here, I'm white Scottish boy. Let me try to 468 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: get try to get into the spin. Okay, talk about 469 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: the podcast. What's not even the School of Greatness is 470 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: the podcast? Hold on, let me write this down. The 471 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: School and Greatness, the School of Greatness, and I started 472 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: it ten years ago. Literally it happened when I was 473 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: stuck in traffic. I'm not kidding about this. I was 474 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: stuck in traffic for I don't know, one hour and 475 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: a half. Traffics have been very good to you, but 476 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: it has been good. And sometimes our biggest breakdowns lead 477 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: to our biggest breakthroughs. So don't be upset when you're 478 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: in the mess. Know that this is helping you transform 479 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: and break through into something greater for yourself. So people 480 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: try to run away from it, allow yourself to see, well, 481 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: what is this teaching me right now? So I was 482 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: in traffic and I started calling two friends that I 483 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: knew out a podcast. This was ten years ago.
