I'm very 90 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: skeptical using certain words, but I'll just use this. It 91 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: was the hardest year in my life. 92 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: I know, when I look back, I'm want to be 93 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: like this is probably the most growth year in my life, 94 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: most flilling, I would say, for filling, but the year 95 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: that helped me become the strongest. But by this year 96 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: was rough for me, just some losses in my life, 97 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: a lot of changes. Just seemed like it was storm 98 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: after storm after stormy Personally, a lot of things in 99 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: my immediate personal life is great, but you know, I 100 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: mean with my mother, my grandmother, just some business stuff 101 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: here and there, and I had to persevere through a lot. 102 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: And I actually put this on my Instagram yesterday, like 103 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: I'm proud of myself for you know, standing ten toes 104 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: down and weathering the storm and actually you know, having 105 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: to live out which we do so much, having to 106 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: live out what I preach more than ever this year. 107 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: So perseverance is definitely in the words, had to persevere 108 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: through so much this year. 109 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: When you think about perseverance, do you think that your 110 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: skill for that has been something that you've acquired over time, 111 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 4: or do you feel like you've always been really good 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 4: at sticking out the challenging moments. 113 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: I think, looking back, I've always had that that that 114 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: characteristic or quality to be able to push through because 115 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: I always think, even when I was little, I always 116 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: think like, Okay, what's the alternative to give up? And 117 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: then now you just dig yourself in a deeper ditch 118 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: And I know where that leads to. But I think 119 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: definitely over the years and me playing sports has allowed 120 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: me to persevere and build endurance. I mean, I know 121 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: your endurance runners, so you know what that's all about. 122 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: But that endurance and perseverance through plants, sports and going 123 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: through seasons of having to grind it out and injuries 124 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: and setbacks, and you know, you just kind of whether 125 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: the storm. You realize that the storm really is meant 126 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: to build you, not break you, meant to grow your life, 127 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: not kill your life. And so I've learned that throughout 128 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: my you know, thirty seven years on this earth of 129 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: just you know, everything is building you and working for 130 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: you if you allow it to. 131 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And I know you mentioned you dealt with 132 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 4: a lot of tough losses over the past through sixty five. 133 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 4: For anyone else who can really relate with that and 134 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 4: has dealt with similar loss, what advice do you have 135 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 4: for them if they be persevering doesn't feel as natural? 136 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I mean, depending what loss, If it's a 137 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: loss of a love on like I've dealt with. I 138 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: would just ask you just to change your perspective around it. 139 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: It's always going to be hard, it's always going to 140 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: be tough, it's always going to be there. 141 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: And even if it isn't a love and maybe you 142 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: lost the job or lost the. 143 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,119 Speaker 1: Sport, I would just tell you to what's ask yourself, 144 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: what's the alternative? And I know that might be a 145 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: question that you might be in a bad place. You 146 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: might well, I don't want to go on the more 147 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to continue to live life. 148 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: But for me, I look myself in the mirror and 149 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: I said, man, like I want to honor my mother. 150 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: I want to honor my grandmother. 151 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: I want to honor even my father, even everybody who 152 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: came before me, the sacrifices that they made for me 153 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: to have the life that I that I have. I 154 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: want to take the legacy further. And that was the 155 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: thing that really got me going. And this seems I 156 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: don't know if I talked talked about this on the 157 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: last podcast. I don't think I did. But one of 158 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: the things that that was really a shift in my 159 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: in my mind frame was like me looking in the mirror. 160 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: I remember it was like July, I was depressed and 161 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: probably the worst place my life that I've been in 162 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: a long time. 163 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: And I just asked myself. 164 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: I said, man, if I was to die to day, 165 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: and I know this seems extreme, Like would I want 166 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: to be the reason why other people quit? Would I 167 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: want to be the reason why other people give up? 168 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: We would I want to be the reason why people 169 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: stop moving forward? And I said there, And I thought 170 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: about my angels and I was like, man, they're probably 171 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: crying right now that things are dying inside of me. 172 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: And so in that moment, I say, you know what, 173 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: it's time to turn the page. It's time to live, 174 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: It's time to get the most out of this life, 175 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: and it's time to honor them bey how I live 176 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: my life. And so that was a big mind shift 177 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: for me and perspective shift that switched it from my 178 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: prison to my power. That really like turned the page 179 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: in my life and turn my grief into greatness. As 180 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: I like to say, I. 181 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 4: Think it's hard right to make that change, like to 182 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 4: consciously choose the greatness over the grief, because that grief 183 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 4: can just be so so heavy. So when you're struggling 184 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 4: to move forward and to find that silver lining. I 185 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 4: love the way that you phrase that, thinking about how 186 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: would these people that I loved so much, how would 187 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 4: they want me to move forward? 188 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 3: How would they want me to be living my life? 189 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 4: And again, that's a hard question to ask yourself when 190 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: that grief feels like such a burden. 191 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely, but that is the thing, Like I have people 192 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: hit me up all the time. It just I mean, 193 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: it just seems like there's so many losses this year, 194 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: whether it be with the you know, with COVID or 195 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: whatever it may be going on in the world. It 196 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: just seems like I get it every day, like, man, 197 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: I lost my parents, I lost this, I lost my kid, 198 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: and I just tell them that, I said, man, it's 199 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: never going to be the same, even if you lost 200 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: a dream. It's just like, how can I get the 201 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: most out of my life, you know, from this moment on, 202 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: and it's going to be a new normal. 203 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: It's going to look different. 204 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: You have to accept that because sometimes we want the 205 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: same life, the same you know things, and it's different 206 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: and adjusting it to a new normal, whether it's leaving 207 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: a job, leaving a sport, or trying to live life 208 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: without a loved one it's tough. You're gonna go through 209 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: your seasons, but you can allow those things to you know, 210 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: build you and not break you. 211 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 3: As I say, perseverance your big word for twenty twenty one. 212 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 4: When you think about perhaps an other takeaway or two 213 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 4: that you had from the year, whether it be in 214 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 4: some of the pivots that you've been continuing to make 215 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 4: within your business, I know doing a lot of speaking 216 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 4: that's completely different than it used to look now. But 217 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 4: what would you say another big takeaway has been for 218 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 4: you over the last year. 219 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 2: The power, you. 220 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: Said it, the power to pivot, the power to adjust. 221 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 2: You know, I'm always you know, this is the athlete 222 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: in me, right. 223 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: I always know that even right now, like as I'm 224 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: planning out twenty twenty two, my plan is to have 225 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: a plan. When that plan doesn't work out, so I 226 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: know that I know that how I wanted to go 227 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: is not going to happen. You know, there's gonna be 228 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: some bumps, There's gonna be some you know, some obstacles. 229 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: And I've just. 230 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: Always learned from football that hey, the team that wins 231 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: the game is not the team that goes in with 232 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: the best game plans. The team that knows how to 233 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: adjust during the game that have time, third and fourth quarter. 234 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: So I'm always just thinking about adjustment. And this year 235 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: it taught me a lot about adjusting. You know, my 236 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: business and you know how I just operate every single day. 237 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: And I think when you're setting in your ways, it's 238 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: dangerous at a time. 239 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: Like I believe in routines. 240 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: I think routines are great, but you have to be 241 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: willing to change. You have to be willing to adapt 242 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: with the times. I mean, we're in a time of 243 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: digital technology like more than ever, and you can't win 244 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: today's game from yesterday's points, right, So I'm always thinking 245 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: about how can I adjust, how can I reinvent myself 246 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: every single day or every single month, every single year 247 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: to adapt with the changes that are going on in 248 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: the world. 249 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I've shared this on the show before, but 250 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 4: one of my mentors said to me once, he said, 251 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 4: if you don't have a plan B, then you don't 252 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 4: have a plan. And it's interesting to think of it 253 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 4: that way, right, because you want to have a plan B. 254 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,479 Speaker 4: But I think sometimes there's like a there's a roadblock 255 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 4: in the mindset of like wanting to set up your 256 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 4: plan B. 257 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: Because you're so focused on Plan A. You know what 258 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: I mean. 259 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely? You know. For me, it's like I talk about 260 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: this a lot. I always ask people like, how are 261 00:11:59,480 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: you going to risk? 262 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's the big thing with the like 263 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: the plan B, because sometimes plan B is just an 264 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: extension off of Plan A. 265 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: And I've made up even this year. 266 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: So this year I knew, you know, I had a 267 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: vision of knowing that, you know, my mother would die 268 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: at a certain time this year, even though we hoped 269 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: she wouldn't, but it was the point where, you know, 270 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: her living wasn't good for her. And I always would 271 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: tell myself, Man, as hard as it may be, this 272 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: is how I'm going to respond. I tell athletes all 273 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: the time, you know how you're gonna respond when you're 274 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: down by twenty How you're gonna respond when that dB 275 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: is locking you up? How are you gonna respond? So 276 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: I think going into twenty twenty two, you have to 277 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: whether it's keywords, phrases, you have to know how you're 278 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: going to respond when certain things happen. 279 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 2: And that's helped me so much. 280 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: Always I'm gonna respond with greatness, I'm gonna respond with perseverance, 281 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna respond by doing this or by doing that, 282 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: and that's really helped me to adjust in seasons of change. 283 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 4: You are a father, you're a husband, been obviously in 284 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 4: addition to a wildly successful businessman. Talk to me about 285 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 4: how you kind of take care of you a little 286 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 4: bit so that you can show up for the other 287 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 4: people that you love, for the other people that are 288 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 4: navigating these hardships when again, it just feels super challenging. 289 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 3: To do that. 290 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'll talk about this because I'm literally 291 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: I was talking about it today. You know, I've been 292 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: really obsessed with not wasted minutes of my life, you know, 293 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: just talking to people that are older than me. You know, 294 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: the biggest regret is I wish I had more minutes, 295 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: and so I've been super obsessed, obsessed, And I actually 296 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: did a exercise for myself this year and realized how 297 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: many minutes I wasted on things that didn't help my life. 298 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: I wasted on you know, not putting myself first. I 299 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: wasted on certain things in my life. So this year, 300 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: going into this year, I'm very conscious on not living 301 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: in wasted minutes. I think it's like five hundred and 302 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: twenty five thousand minuts year, I'm very conscious of not 303 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: wasting minutes, but very conscious of very conscious not waste mints, 304 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: and also very conscious of making more purposeful minutes in 305 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: my life. And so to the person listening to this, 306 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: I would just ask you, like, how much time this 307 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: past year did you spend on things that fulfilled you? 308 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: How much time next year are you going to spend 309 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: on things that fulfill you? Because that's what matters. And 310 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: for me, it was like really constructing. And I'm careful 311 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: when I said it's simply because I know certain people 312 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: are in certain places, Like I wasn't always here to 313 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: be able to do this, but I feel like so 314 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: many times we fit us into our schedule right, like 315 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: we fit ourselves into our schedule, like we save the 316 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: bare minimum for things that fulfill us. My life changed 317 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: when I stopped doing that, Like I started fitting other 318 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: things in my schedule, like these are things that I'm 319 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: doing my family, the things that fulfill me, the things 320 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: that excite me, those are my goal tos period, and 321 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: then everything else finds its place, not the opposite way around. 322 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: So when I had that mind mind set, I experience 323 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: more peace, more fulfillment, and more enjoyment in my life. 324 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 4: You said you did like a specific exercise, Can you 325 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 4: talk a little bit about what that was. 326 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really simple. It's just writing down how you 327 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: spent your minutes. And you might not know exactly, but 328 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: this could be something going into the new year. I 329 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: think there's like fourteen hundred minutes a week, right, and 330 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: so maybe it's weekly, maybe it's monthly. You just go 331 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: back because you have minutes that are going to be 332 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: spent sleeping. If you have a nine to five, they're 333 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: going to be spent in your nine to five. But 334 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: where are those other minutes being spent in your life? 335 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: Right? 336 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: If you say, man, I want a more peaceful life, 337 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: or I want to start I want to be an entrepreneur, 338 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: I want to start my own business, or I want 339 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: to spend more time with my family, I want to travel, 340 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: Then when you get to the end of twenty twenty two, 341 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: if you can say, man, my life this year was great, 342 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: it's because you actually. 343 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: Spend minutes on things that you want to do. 344 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: If you said, man, it's your suck, probably because you 345 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: spend money's on things that minutes on things that you 346 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: didn't want to do. So the exercise is pretty simple. 347 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: Just right down the list of things that fulfill you 348 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: from this last year. So if it's your family, if 349 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: it's your kids, if it's your business, if it's traveling, 350 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: and then just write down, you know, estimate how much 351 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: time that you spend on those things. And I can 352 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: promise you if you spend minimum time on those things 353 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: that you say fulfill you, you didn't have a fulfill uar. 354 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: And so going into this next year, just say, hey, 355 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure every week, whether it's twenty 356 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: percent of my time or ten percent, whatever it may 357 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: be for you, I'm going to make sure I'm intentional 358 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: with spending my minutes more purposefully, more purposeful on the 359 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: things that trually matter to me. 360 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's super, super super valuable advice. 361 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 4: It's so interesting, right because I remember once someone said 362 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: to me, like, think about the time you have before, Like, say, 363 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 4: you do have a nine to five before you get 364 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 4: to your desk, and after you have your desk, you're 365 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 4: waking hours. Right for some people, that's something like four 366 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 4: hours on each side. And then if you take a 367 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 4: step back and you ask yourself, like, what are you 368 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 4: doing in four hours in the morning? And four hours 369 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 4: at night, and even an exercise like if you can't 370 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 4: really call, like if it was kind of gray space. 371 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: Oftentimes that gray space indicates like perhaps scrolling or something else. 372 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 4: If that's just gray space, then again kind of similar 373 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 4: to the exercise you're saying, like, take a step back 374 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 4: and ask yourself, like, what if someone told you you 375 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 4: have eight hours in a day that you don't even 376 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 4: realize that you're not taking advantage of. 377 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: What do you do with them? What do you want 378 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: to do? 379 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 4: And highlighting again those priorities, those values. It's like such 380 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 4: a beautiful and really really helpful, helpful exercise. 381 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: You know too, Just to add to that, Like my 382 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: thought process was that obviously we have our iPhones, right, 383 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: and it shows us like how much screen time you 384 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: spend on certain apps. And I thought about that emotionally. 385 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, man, like I wish there was a thing. 386 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's not probably the next use. I 387 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: wish there was a thing that showed me how much 388 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: time I spent emotionally on things that didn't help my life, 389 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: like how much time I spent, in comparison, how much 390 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: time I spent in self sabotage and so one of 391 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: the things for me this next year is every time 392 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: I catch myself and I'm gonna try my best to 393 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: do this catch myself in comparison, I'm gonna immediately stop 394 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: myself and spend at least five. 395 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: To ten minutes in appreciation. 396 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna combat those things as much as I can, 397 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: because it's just crazy. 398 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: Man. 399 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: I think if we really took time and thought about that, 400 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: so many of us have spent so much time emotional 401 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: on things that. 402 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: Don't help our life. 403 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 3: Definitely. 404 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 4: Definitely, when you reflect on the difficulties that you faced 405 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 4: in twenty one and you think about some of the 406 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 4: best advice that has been offered to you, As someone 407 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 4: who often is offering advice to other people, what comes 408 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 4: to mind. 409 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the most negative positive advice ever. One 410 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: of my friends just told me this, and she said, 411 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: your life will never be the same, and it was 412 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: what I needed to hear in that moment because I 413 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: wanted my life to be the same. I wanted my 414 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to turn back the hands of time. I 415 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: wanted to go back, and she told me, your life 416 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: will never be the same. 417 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 2: That doesn't mean it has to be a bad thing. 418 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: It could be a great thing, but you got to 419 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: stop holding on to something that's that doesn't exist anymore. 420 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: And yeah, there were a lot of things in my 421 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: life that you know, outside of the things people saw, 422 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: but other things in my life that I was probably 423 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: still holding on to that didn't exist anymore. And so 424 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: that was a very powerful statement. And I need those 425 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: statements like I'm a straight up guy and those statements. 426 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: To me my home. 427 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 4: It's so relevant to everything though, right beyond just the 428 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 4: examples that you're providing here. It will never be the 429 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 4: same whether you're holding on to a relationship that didn't 430 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 4: serve you or maybe one that did but you still 431 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 4: had to let go of, or if you're thinking about 432 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 4: your fitness that you had eight years ago that you 433 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 4: don't have anymore. It's like it unless you choose to 434 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 4: move forward with the things that you have instead of 435 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 4: focusing on the things that you don't, then you're never 436 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 4: going to be able to move forward at all. 437 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: Ah, that is so big, especially you said fitness man 438 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: like as an athlete, I know you can relate like 439 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: I so bad when I run a four to three again, 440 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: like I judged myself by that. I'm like or like 441 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: a certain time, like, man, I want to run this. 442 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's not possible, but you know 443 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: some things, you know, your body, you get to a 444 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: certain age that it pretty much is impossible, not saying 445 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,239 Speaker 1: that you can't be the best version of yourself at 446 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: that time. And so for me, I had to let 447 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: go of certain things like that, like how I ran, 448 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: or how I operate or how I you know, I'm like, 449 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm thirty seven now. Certain things aren't going to look 450 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: like when I was twenty one years old. 451 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 4: So yeah, you're like, fine, fine, I will accept perhaps 452 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 4: the who knows, Yeah, I'm slow now. 453 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 2: I'm love the fact that I'm slower now for sure. 454 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 4: Well, these are all really really helpful takeaways. The last 455 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 4: two things that we're going to get into here first 456 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 4: and foremost, what excites you for twenty twenty two, Trent. 457 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: That's a great question. 458 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: We're planning. We have Plan A and Plan B and 459 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 3: Plan C. 460 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 461 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: You so just a new beginning, you know, that's the 462 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: biggest thing that excites me. It is just a fresh 463 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: start for me. I feel like I said, I said 464 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: this in twenty twenty twenty twenty one was but it's 465 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: just a new beginning of just being able to turn 466 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: the page and just start fresh. And for me, that's big, 467 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: you know, leaving some things in the past and just 468 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: creating some new, beautiful, more beautiful experiences and different things 469 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: with my life. 470 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: So just those two worst new beginnings is what excites 471 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: me the most. 472 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's something that's really beautiful. 473 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 4: Is of course this you know, this episode coming out 474 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 4: in the first week of twenty twenty two. But the 475 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 4: reality is that no matter what happens this week or 476 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 4: next week, we have the conscious choice to choose every 477 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 4: single day how we want to act, what we want 478 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: to do. So sometimes, you know, we put so much 479 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 4: weight on this like one chance at this new beginning, 480 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 4: but like every single day that's your chance, right, every 481 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 4: single day you get to make the conscious choice how 482 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 4: you're going to show up, and it doesn't matter what 483 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 4: your friend or your mom or your boss thinks, like 484 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 4: you get to make that choice for you. And sometimes 485 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 4: again that can feel really tough, but like it's a choice, and. 486 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 2: Every day is a new beginning. Like you don't need 487 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: a new year and a new month. 488 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: Literally all you need is a new moment to make 489 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: that choice, and that's something that I live by, you know, 490 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: I try to live by every single day. It's like, Man, 491 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: I can make a choice right now to change whatever 492 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: it is.
