It 197 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: is because he just is this better quality out, that 198 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: better quality available for me to go the whole Foods 199 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: and all these different places where I go and get 200 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: products that are not in the feed by chemicals. What 201 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: do you what do you think that's making that shift 202 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: in me? Well, I that's why I'm asking you. I'm 203 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: actually curious. I don't know if it's just being you know, 204 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: in conversation or reading things or just deploring and just 205 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: wanting to change. So normally it's most people's diet changes 206 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: come from ailments, you know, or issues that they have 207 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: and then they feel inclined to change their diets, so, 208 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: you know, or just exposure or you know, just seeing 209 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: more of certain things of wanting to feel better. And 210 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: then after you eat and you know, taste and try 211 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: certain things, you notice how your body responds to it. 212 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: So I guess you, you know, actually want more of that. 213 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: So a lot of that sorts to happen. But I 214 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: don't really know your dynamic, like you know, why what 215 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the good feeling that it's good feeling. It's 216 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: a good feeling. And I would tell you this. I 217 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: would tell you this in eighteen. I was I've been 218 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: doing the show since seventeen, and I want to thank 219 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: you both for doing my show.

And now you know, usually 223 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: when people come a watch, I'll read your books or 224 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: if you send me the tape I watched, what I 225 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: do not do is saying bag on interview, and so 226 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: so I said, you'll be cool, you know, let me 227 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: go and see if I can lose some weight. And 228 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: when you get on the radio, I would go, uh, 229 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: hey man, wait, well I lost nine pounds when you 230 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: got on that, and so I've lost sixteen pounds since then. 231 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: It's so it's so my my way right now.

And so now 234 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: I don't even do wait anymore. I just do a 235 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: lot of stretching. I do. I eat. I eat this 236 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: good lifestyle that you guys are talking about, and I 237 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: just won't let everybody know that what you guys are 238 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: talking about has made me feel better, has my you know, 239 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, everything flows a lot better for me. I 240 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: drink a lot more water. Is that what you guys 241 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: are preaching, Because that's what you were saying. The initial 242 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: statement to me styles shud stop it, stop it. That's 243 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: all you do. Stop it, Yeah, because what you're saying, 244 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: what you're doing life and what you the time you 245 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: take out to do what you do, which is is 246 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: teach and have entrepreneurs on and young successful people and 247 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: older successful people, middle age successful people. So to preach 248 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: and us to push forward of success, you have to 249 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: want to be the best year you can be. So 250 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: you feel better with ian clean what you did. You 251 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: started the act of doing when you picked up that 252 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: book and you lost that ten pounds. That was the 253 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: act of you just talking about it, thinking about it, 254 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: or doing stuff. You started doing things. And once you 255 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: start doing things, and you start subconsciously and consciously either 256 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: or sometimes it's both. Sometimes it's one. Um you just 257 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: start really saying, hey, I like how I feel, I 258 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: like how I'm looking, or I like the fact you 259 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: know that my energy feels a certain way. And so 260 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: that act of doing leads you to keep one in 261 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: the search and do better. And that's what this whole 262 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: thing about wellness is about. It's not about being us 263 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: being goal rules are super knowledgeable people. It's about us 264 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: wanting our communities better. And that starts with feeling better. 265 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: Because once you feel better, or my wife feels better, 266 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: and you tell your wife and my wife tells me that, 267 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: we tell look a look at the teller on and uncle, 268 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: that leads to a healthier community all around and a 269 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: healthier dress besides you feeling healthy, you want people all 270 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: around you, so you just kind of want to spread 271 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: a word about feeling okay, like you know what I mean, 272 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: just bringing balance to your diet. It's not about us 273 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: going hey, don't eat this, don't eat that. I eat 274 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: all plants. But I'm gonna tell you first before you 275 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: do anything.

You know, 278 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: if it's grass fed, no, if it's not grass fed, 279 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying. If I ask you 280 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: a serious question, like okay, I'm comfortable with I know 281 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: my I'm going to Whole Foods.

But I 284 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: feel safer with a tampered with plant than you do 285 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: with a tamper with cat or chickens. Like you know 286 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm pretty sure you would feel the 287 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: same way too.

This 398 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: is Sean McDonald. You know, this is money making conversation, 399 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: having a good time talking to individuals who are successful 400 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 1: individuals who had moments in their life where they were 401 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: frustrated trying to achieve their success. But more importantly, David, 402 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: they are achieving it. And when they achieve it, there's 403 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: no guarantees there's going to continue. That's where the hard 404 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: work comes in. And when I talk about entrepreneurship, I 405 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: talk about entertainment. I always tell people that because of 406 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: social media, everybody is is a brand. Now everybody is 407 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: an entrepreneur wants social media hit it. And so you 408 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 1: have to respect and you have to under and make 409 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: it relatable and understandable. That you have to understand that 410 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: what you present to people is what people are gonna define. 411 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: You ask styles, Come on now, now you came on 412 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: the show, this this book, The Eternal hike. Um, you 413 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: know the reel apologize. Yeah, okay, apologize. Um, tell me 414 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: about the book before we started asking questions. Okay, Well, 415 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: the book is a culmination of a lot um Our 416 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: daughter passed away in from suicide and um, that was 417 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: my firstborn. He styles this her stepdad. Um, so you know, 418 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: just that whole situation in itself and dealing with that 419 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: and trying to process the whole situation. For me, Um, 420 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: the best, the best way and the best outlet for 421 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: me was to to write it, to write it out. 422 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: And UM, you know, through that a lot of you know, 423 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: it's just a lot of self healing, a lot of 424 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: self understanding, a lot of self love. Again, just trying 425 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: to get to that higher self. So with that, you know, um, 426 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: being in a space of wanting to heal and be 427 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: open and honest and you know, get through it. So 428 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna going to certain sections of the 429 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: book that that I just took a little lines out 430 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: and one of the first lines I grabbed was, I 431 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: am writing this book because you believe your story can 432 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: help others love themselves more. You can help them be 433 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: kind hearted to themselves and have more patience. Yeah, when 434 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: you when I when I read that statement, when you 435 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: say love themselves more, what do you mean when you 436 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: say that? Okay, well, and that there's a lot in 437 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: regard to that. Um, I don't think a lot of 438 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: people we take the time to understand how far they 439 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: come in life and how much how many obstacles that 440 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: they've actually you know, you know, trying from, and they 441 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: just you know, just they ourselves off and you know, 442 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: keep it, keep it moving for the most part. So 443 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: if you can just take some time to appreciate yourself, 444 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: how farts come, you can just kind of love yourself more. 445 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: For me, but that's how it works for me. Well, 446 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: I think I think that understanding. Yeah, I think it's 447 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: important that on this show that you both of you 448 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: guys have a defined voice, a very defining voice, and 449 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: vote for your very articulate and both of you guys 450 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: have had enough success in life to be having an 451 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: opinion and and share it. And that's what and that's 452 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 1: what I felt the book was sharing. That's why I'm 453 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: asking you different questions because I want to make sure 454 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: when you leave this interview that you understand that you 455 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: both are a blessing and you are a blessing in 456 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: with this book because thank you. Let'm just tell you why, 457 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know, even though I'm successful, 458 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: I will doubt myself because what happens is and Styles 459 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: can agree some sometimes you can't go to tell other 460 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: people moments of weakness. You can't tell other people. You 461 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: can't talk to people by failure because people look at 462 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: you different. They look at you different. You can't show 463 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: weakness when you're considered a success because people are looking 464 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: at you different. There treat you different. And so it's 465 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: sometimes that's the part where you you start questioning yourself 466 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: and you can question your every path and every decision, 467 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: and that's where you that's where the love part comes in. 468 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: And I took out of this book not only love yourself, 469 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: but have people around you that you're comfortable enough to 470 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: tell them when things aren't going good. Are you confused 471 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: by something? That is of the strongest takeaways that I 472 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: had this book. That's great, Yeah, and I agree. I 473 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,239 Speaker 1: agree with that. As far as vulnerability part, that is 474 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: that is true because Styles actually said he said is 475 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: something he couldn't do himself. So hem he got Style 476 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: still be QUI man I got I was I was, 477 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: I was letting. I was actually just letting instead of win. 478 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about it because it just put 479 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: me in a place because we we we as businessmen, 480 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: focus on business and family, you know, so reading from 481 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: reading a book for me, I also got to take 482 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: that out because even doing what with what we do 483 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: with juices for Life, pharmacy for life, music, reading the 484 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: book made me be able to accept being more vulnerable 485 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: to my past, you know, to the things that kind 486 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: of you know, carved me and maybe who I am 487 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: it maybe kind of look at myself more. And you know, 488 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: it shows to love somebody and be with them twenty 489 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: five years and I know how intelligent they are, but 490 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: to see their their work and their artwork make you 491 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: reflect on your own past was was something touching for me. 492 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: Especially the pault was saying, I couldn't really, I'm not 493 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: one just by nature to show weakness. So that a 494 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: book for how to be that open, and it showed 495 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: me that being open and accepting pain and accepting the 496 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: things that that hurt you really actually make you very 497 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: much stronger. Like you hear it. You hear it in philosophy, 498 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: coal movies, and you you hear the master tell the 499 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: student that, but to get it from your wife and 500 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: to actually see it done in person is it's more 501 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: eye open again especially with like I said, well, what 502 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: we do we believe in in wellness, like our brands 503 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: are wellness. So it was that's something that made me 504 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: more well. Like I think we think healing and food 505 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: and it's it's success and all of that is just 506 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: financial or with food wise, but we don't often deal 507 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: what I sold enough on a realistic level, like she said, 508 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: loving yourself enough to understand who you are, what you are, 509 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: what you've been through and ether like it pretty much 510 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: very it taught me a lot, especially with it being 511 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: my wife, you know, so that it was just odd 512 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: that I took the same thing that you took out 513 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: of it, and even more over to day and my wife, 514 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, wow, this is the power couple I got 515 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: on the phone will be today articulating and defining, defining 516 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: the path that we all should go down. And so 517 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: when I when I look at uh, you know, I'm 518 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: writing a book. And it's interesting when you write a 519 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: book because you start remembering things that you had actually forgotten, 520 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: or you start remembering things that you don't have no value, 521 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: but it turns out to be important to other people. 522 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's really crazy. It's really crazy when you 523 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, when people start sitting down, they started to 524 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: ask you question. You go, oh yeah I did that. 525 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh I forgot about that. But but that 526 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: part that you forgot about shaped you. Yeah. Yeah, and 527 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: it's really and and so when and so when I 528 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: started reading your book, it was like it was like 529 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: it was like we're gonna start at a traumatic moment 530 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna we're gonna tell a story and 531 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: move forward. And it was such a beautiful journey for me. 532 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: You know, sixteen got your d d talk about your 533 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: boy Fred Mike. You know, even though you know sudden 534 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: when styles came in your life after after board friend 535 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,479 Speaker 1: Mike went away, then he took it on responsibility when 536 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: he called him dad, when she called him daddy and uh, 537 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: when she was six years old. That moment right there, 538 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: I thought, because it was written in the book, was 539 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: an important moment in both the relationship. But how did 540 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: it impact your styles? When she called you daddy? Um, 541 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: it was beautiful, it was it was shocking because you've 542 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: been calling you David all the way up to that 543 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: point a long time coming. It was a long time coming. 544 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: It was um was it was a beautiful thing. I 545 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: think when um, when you when you step into a 546 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: child lifeful a woman with a child already, it's a 547 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: fine line you have to walk, especially you know there's 548 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: a lot of things involved, um and you want to 549 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: you know me, I've had a step father before us. 550 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: I know how it feels like, you know what I mean. 551 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: So I just always wanted to be cool, let her 552 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: know that she has so in there as a parent 553 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: that loves us. But that's not stepping boundaries and just 554 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: it's forcing forcing the way. So for me it was 555 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: successful because it was the opposite of what I had 556 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: always seen and always seen done, and it was approach. 557 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: I think it was beautiful for me as a young 558 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: father and uh young fiancee husband to be because um, 559 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: the real, the real truth of it is, we would 560 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: we would We would both compare how we grew up 561 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: to the things we thought were good, the things we 562 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: thought were bad, things we thought we shouldn't do and 563 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: we should do, and things we said we would do 564 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: totally different because how it made us feeling. So that 565 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 1: was one of them, and it worked out to be 566 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: beautiful and successful and we had a super dobon like 567 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And and that's what I'm 568 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: saying is just moments like that that I kept pulling out, 569 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, in the in the in the book. You know, 570 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: you know, I thought it was a great moment when 571 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: you talking about how your dad said get out, get out, 572 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, and you know, because that was just that's 573 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: that's a dad. That's a dad saying, hey, you know 574 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: you want to be grown. I'm gonna show you grown. 575 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you grown. Yeah. Um, you know a 576 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: lot of things and they are relevant. Certain things are 577 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: relevant to others, you know, more than others. Um. Because 578 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: to me, just even reflecting back on it, that that 579 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: that a little six year old thing was huge in 580 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: my life in terms of her calling you know him daddy. 581 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: But you know, to a lot of people is probably irrelevant, 582 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: but it is a real kind of significant point. You know, 583 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: it is very very significant, especially as um first step dad, 584 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: especially for me, you know so too. That's why it 585 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: was written. You know, It's it's all about you know, 586 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: emotional growth, physical growth, financial growth, and wonder line that 587 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: stood out for me was like well, you know, a 588 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: man's styles started growing his profile as a writer. He 589 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: went from bad boy money to rough ride of money. 590 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: It was coming in left and right. And you know, 591 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: if people don't understand money, you know, we especially the entertainment, 592 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: money comes in ways. You know, it might not be 593 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: that steady check now what you because being entrepreneurs you 594 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: can expect steadiness. But in entertainment, you know, big check 595 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: five hunt thou dollars, million dollars to million dollars can 596 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: come your way and guess what, maybe six months later 597 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: another check may not come or or smaller, much smaller 598 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: check comes and so when it comes in, sometimes you 599 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: don't know what to do with the money, but spend it. 600 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: How did you because I remember I had I had. 601 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: I was leasing the uh G, I was leasing the 602 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,239 Speaker 1: cl or Mercedesy, I was leasing like three cars then 603 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: because I because I could lease him, because I was 604 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: making that kind of money. How did you jump? And 605 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: I was much older than you guys, y'all were young. 606 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,239 Speaker 1: How did y'all translate that ability to mature with your 607 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: money and move forward? Because one of the things you 608 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: did was by a townhouse. It's three bare room, three 609 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: bad townhouse. Were one of the best investments you made 610 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: early on. But tell us about the journey into the 611 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: money and evolving as young adults. Okay, well that was 612 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: one of our first I guess our wisest person purchases 613 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: townhouse because before then, and in between then and all 614 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: around then were screwed up. Okay, with a lot of 615 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: a lot of messing up, a lot of trial and error. 616 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: We learned from and um, you know, because it's not 617 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: it fluctuates the money. It's not really consistent in terms 618 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: of in the business, you know. It's yeah, and that's 619 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: part of what, you know, why we actually started the 620 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: other businesses because we needed more consistency, you know. So, um, 621 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: just taking advantage of your brain, taking advant of brain. 622 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: So let's let's look.

People always were 698 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: coming to her, you know, So no signals, no signs 699 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: when you wrote this book. The ultimate message was we 700 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: talked about in the beginning, and I'm just telling you 701 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: how I feel. Um. I try to talk to my daughter. Uh. 702 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: I try to not cut off. And when you know, 703 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: when when we have a business mean I can be 704 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: on the call with a with a client and her 705 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: number comes through our answer. I've always done that because 706 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: I've raised her on the I've raised her. My mom 707 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: was raised her. I've raised her on the phone. Okay, 708 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: I I have some clips that I want to give 709 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: her one day when when she used to just call 710 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: lead notes when she was four or five and six 711 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: on the phone. I kept them. I kept there the messages. 712 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: So I know the impact of a loss, but a 713 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: bigger impact of your children and you burying im and 714 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: the what else. And one of the things that you 715 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: said earlier early on was that you didn't want the 716 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:49,240 Speaker 1: drama or the trauma to slow your growth. Yes, Um, basically, 717 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is that's such a a shot, 718 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, that's such a big heavy blow. And from 719 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: what I've seen from you know, past you know experiences 720 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: and and just you know other situations that it's it's 721 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,479 Speaker 1: really cycling. It can really be that much that people 722 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: cannot move forward. And I mean, and that's how I 723 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: felt initially when it happened. I did feel that's how 724 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,280 Speaker 1: heavy it was. I felt like there was just no tomorrow, 725 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: there was no moving forward. Um. But I'm very I'm 726 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: also very spiritual, so just in doing some deep work 727 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: and trying to have a real great will to want 728 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: to move forward, and knowing that this situation was there 729 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: to kind of break me into something else. I don't 730 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: want to say be broken broken into something else, you know. Um, 731 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 1: I kind of used that, and knowing that I've had 732 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 1: other experiences not as bad, but that will be most 733 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: likely the worst. But I just know, like I have 734 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: to keep moving forward. It's just that I just I cannot, Um, 735 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:57,919 Speaker 1: I can't stop, and all those things, you know.
