I'm from Houston, Texas, so 47 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: I was born to raise in the big state of 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: Texas and have traveled all over this country. And uh, 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: you said you're Louisiana, Arkansas with the school at Baylor 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: type fellow.

Absolutely. Let's just talk about, uh, 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: but you your book. Let's talk about your personality. Let's 54 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: talk about your athleticism. You know you played wide receiver 55 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: at the Bail University. Is a question I wanted to 56 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 1: ask up from. Would you say that the early part 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: of your life was driven by your ability to showcase 58 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: your physical talents? Would you say that absolutely? Yeah, I 59 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: mean ever since I was bored, I had two older brothers, 60 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: and so I was always trying to keep up with them. 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: So my my even my identity and my my worst 62 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: everything was performance based. You know. I always wanted to 63 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: be the best athlete I could be, whether it's best baseball, basketball, football, track. 64 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: So now that's being said. Now along the way, other 65 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: people see things in you besides that physical talent, and 66 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: they see it. Obviously you're a great speaker. They know 67 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: you have a uh the people you you have a 68 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: magnetic personality and people see that. And now I'm sure 69 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: people told you that along the way, but of course 70 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: you were following that physical gift. Can you can you 71 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: talk about the people who were trying to tell you 72 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: about the skill set that you were not following at 73 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: the time that they felt had value in your life? 74 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: Too deep with that question. No, you're exactly right, and 75 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: it's a great question because you're right. I mean, my 76 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: whole entire life, Um, there were seeds planet uh as 77 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: my mom would say, calling is placed on my life, 78 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: you know, throughout my whole entire life to be you 79 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: know what I do now, But by even today, I'm 80 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: an introverted person. So me hearing that, it was like 81 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: I was deaf to it because I was so focused 82 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: on what I wanted to do. So if you weren't 83 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: bringing anything to my life about sports, man like, I 84 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: wasn't trying to listen to it. And oftentimes what we 85 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: do is we're so focused on what we want to do, 86 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: we become blind to what we were created to do. So, yeah, 87 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: it was tough, I know, because you know, I look 88 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 1: at my life. I was. I was trying to share 89 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: my life honestly with my listeners. And sometimes my view 90 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: is that you know, when you look back, you know 91 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: you have to look back. I would tell people the 92 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: resume that you have right now, that job, resume may 93 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: not be your dream, may not be your passion. It's 94 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: just something you do to get a paycheck. And I 95 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: felt that's what was happening in the NFL. That was 96 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: something you was doing to get a paycheck. And then 97 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: one day, sitting in that office of the Washington Redskin, 98 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: you realize, you know something, this is a check that's 99 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: not gonna pay off long term for me. But you 100 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: knew that anyway because of the athlete, that's a short 101 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: window anyway, But knowing that you still pursued that that 102 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: was your your number one gift at the time. But 103 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: then in that room with the when they were announced 104 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: that they were gonna let you go, a realization hit. 105 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: You tell us about that. Yeah, it was just you know, 106 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: I mean I went through that process probably like nonerton times. 107 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: So when it got to that place I had already 108 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: started working on. I thought, well, what I do now, 109 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,119 Speaker 1: which is rehab something? And that vision was already placed 110 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: in my life, maybe a few months before. How was 111 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: that vision? How was that vision place? Man? It was 112 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: my rock bottom, to be honest with you, It was 113 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: me sitting you know, I just got cut from the Seahawks, 114 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: and it was me in my in my room at 115 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: my parents house, and I was just looking around, and 116 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: my rock bottom was like, man, like, what I'm gonna 117 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: do in my life? And at that moment, I just said, 118 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: it's rehab time. And so for me, rehab time and 119 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: for myself right and then putting straight into a weakness mind, body, 120 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: And so so I took responsibility to say, okay, let 121 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: me educate myself because I wasn't reading books. Okay, let 122 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: me further my health, let me furm my further my spirituality. 123 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: And when I went on this journey, it just I 124 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: just felt the connection. I was like, man, this something 125 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: feels right about this. And as I started continuing that journey, 126 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,559 Speaker 1: you know, other people started to see my change, started 127 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: asking questions. But that was two thousand and nine, two 128 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: thousand and nine, so I got cut with the Ridskins 129 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: probably that fall, and so when they said that, I 130 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: was hurt, but it was something in me and was like, hey, 131 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: like there's something more for your life. But still even 132 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: into it. Right there, you said you were hurt. Were 133 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: you heard or were you more concerned with other people 134 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: thought that you not? You're being cut both. That's that's 135 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: definitely both because that was my significance. So in my mind, 136 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: it was like because my whole entire life was like, 137 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: oh this is my friend trend of places for failure 138 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: or even high school. So my whole value was in 139 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: that working. So I was hurting that way because I'm like, Okay, 140 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: what are people gonna think? And I knew I would 141 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: lose some people in my life that I would hurt. 142 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: Also it's like this is my whole identity, like since 143 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: I was five years old, Like what else am I 144 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: gonna do? I never worked in NUE five. I had 145 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: no knowledge of any of that, So like what am 146 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: I gonna do? So I was kind of fearful of 147 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: like my life is over because if this is the 148 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: pinnacle of my life, there's nothing more to my life, 149 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: you know. So it was hard. Well, you're the thing 150 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: about now your son was born in what year? When? 151 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: When was your son born? Two two thousand eight? So 152 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: your son is born two thousand and eight, which is 153 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: already Let you know that there's a responsibility now in 154 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: your life. You know when you're when you're at there 155 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: solo and making decisions by yourself or uh, but when 156 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: you bring a child into the world. I always tell 157 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: people a child and asked to come into this world. 158 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: You brought that child into the world, So a certain 159 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: level of responsibility. So now that's two thousand nine. You 160 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: still you got cut by the Seahawks, They got about 161 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: to be cut by the watching risk and you know 162 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: the speech, you've heard it. You know when you know 163 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: they're in the game. But now it has to be 164 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: a different journey. Now there has to be a different 165 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: story to be told about your life. When did you 166 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: start remembering all those other great moments of you can 167 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: do this, your your your future is not being a 168 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: football player, an athlete, you can be great? When did 169 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: when did when did that information started running back into 170 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: your life? It started with me stepping on stages speaking 171 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: even though I wasn't ready to speak, even though it's 172 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: my biggest spirits started with me, uh, stepping on stage 173 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: is getting invited to the y m c A Boys 174 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: and Girls clubs or church events, And in those moments 175 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: it made just the impact that I saw when I 176 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: looked down in the audience and how they were just 177 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: gravitating to what I was saying. It was like, man like, Okay, 178 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: everything that people were telling me in my past, it 179 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: could be true. And so that possibility build confidence in 180 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: my life, even in my biggest spear because you know, 181 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: public speaking was something that I was truly afraid of. Well, 182 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: we always like I've been blessed that you know, my 183 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: I was just end up coming. I was standing up 184 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: comedian and so so naturally there's a wall for me 185 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: to speak that there's uh people just watch I should 186 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: work for IBM. So when I would speak, they would 187 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: look this kind so comfortable with this stand up comedy. 188 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: So at night we didn't know that, So I I 189 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: that that public speaking wall was was shattered with me 190 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: and so, but getting out there being honest though, there's 191 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: a difference in speaking publicly Trent, and then being honest 192 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: because because because you know, you can get a prepared speech, 193 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: because see that a lot of time people do it 194 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: call a press conference and and they're supposed to be 195 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: speaking for their heart, but they're reading everything all a 196 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: piece of paper and so, and I was always always 197 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: didn't make sense to me. Okay, why if you're speaking 198 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: for your hard just speak And now now you started 199 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: speaking publicly, when did the honestly part of the conversation? 200 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: Because they're gonna drive us into this book because this 201 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: book is very honest. It talks about a lot of failures. 202 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: It talks about by these failures have to be acknowledged 203 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: in order for you to move forward. When did you start? 204 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: You started speaking at these wives, But what point did 205 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: you say, know something? I gotta tell them relatable stories. 206 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: I gotta tell them why it's important that you hear 207 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: what I got to say. Yeah, for sure, it was 208 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: early on to be real with you because and the 209 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: reason being is because one of my very first major 210 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: ones speaking engagements, I prepared to hold speech. I was 211 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 1: like riding and wrote it all out and then I 212 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: kind of look, I got whatever stage right I forgot, 213 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: and it was just like okay, let me just go 214 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: from my heart. And I realized, like, for one, I 215 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: always say, when you're real, you're relatable, Right, It's a 216 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: connection piece with the audience because they feel like they 217 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: can relate to you. But it also it gave me freedom, right. 218 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: I feel like like even today, like when I tried 219 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: to prepare a speech, I'm like, why am I wasting 220 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: my time? Because I never go off of the notes 221 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: that I have from my speech, and so it gives 222 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: me a sense of freedom. And uh so yeah, I'm 223 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: just I've always kind of been like that since the 224 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: start of like just telling you know, real rock other 225 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: stories from the heart about my life.

Trent Shelton. He 229 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: has a new book that you can buy right now 230 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: called straight Up. Uh.

This book is a you know, is for 232 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: young adults, and I want to talk about that why 233 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: it's important that when you see younger plow, you're talking 234 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: about enneals, are you're talking about high schoolers who were 235 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: talking about when you say young adults, Trent, Yeah, I 236 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: think anywhere from the age of it could be eighty four, 237 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I think this book is and 238 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: I will say this too, I've had adults already read it, 239 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: and you know, it's a little bit language for kids, 240 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: but I have adults read it and takeing it like 241 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: they learned from it too. But I think anywhere from 242 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: the ages of where you can read all the way 243 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: to you know, early twenties for sure. Well, you know, 244 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: let's let's let's dive into the book. The book. We're 245 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: talking about this straight up and I went, I'm gonna 246 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: start in the back because it was, you know, I 247 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 1: read a book. I kind of like, well, I want 248 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: to start. Everybody that always starts at the beginning, you 249 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: know it is that might post start in the middle, 250 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: but it was it was something that really affected me. 251 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: I think that we needed to jump out. For me, 252 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: was like in chapter twelve, that's just straight up about 253 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: making an impact. Okay, now, what was the significance before 254 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: we even get into my what exactly I want from 255 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: chapter twelve? What was the significance of the I guess 256 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: you can say title for each chapter. Yeah, so I 257 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: just kind of dug down in my life. I asked 258 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: my son some questions kids that are coached and just uh, 259 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: you know, took that feedback and I was like, Okay, 260 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: this is what they need to hear. You know. So 261 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: I basically took the book fifty two lessons um that 262 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: I would want either to tell my former self because 263 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: I get that question like what would you tell the 264 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: younger you, it would be these fifty two things, And 265 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: so that was the inspiration behind it. Cool. Now in 266 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: that chapter twelve, you know, it says it says responsibility 267 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: means realizing you affect other people. See that was important 268 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: to me when I'm reading your book. It goes back 269 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: to the birth of your son two thousand and eight. 270 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: It goes back to two thousand nine when you're sitting 271 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: in that in the in the office team Washington red Skins, 272 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: and it was letting you know that there was no 273 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: space for you on the team, that if a spot 274 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: opens up, you know you could, you wouldn't let you know. 275 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: You said, don't worry you don't don't I've heard this 276 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: speech phone don't don't, don't, don't play kate me like that. Okay, 277 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: don't play kate me like that. If it was a 278 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: space open, I wouldn't be sitting in your office. Okay, 279 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: I want to be sitting there. Okay. So the responsibility 280 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: means realizing you affect other people. I wanted to start 281 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: our interview with that statement because that's what a lot 282 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: of people I want. I won't use the word selfish, 283 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: but we get so focused on ourselves that we got 284 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: responsible to other people that believe in us, and that 285 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: could be children, that could be your wife, that could 286 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: be your employees, that could be people invest in you, 287 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: that could be your your business partners. And that statement 288 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: I thought was really powerful, and I just wanted you 289 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: to comment on that, and I also provide my feedback 290 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: because a lot of people don't realize that responsibility means 291 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: realizing that you affect to other people. To me, was 292 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: one of the most powerful lines in your book. And 293 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate that. You know. One of my 294 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: stayings for real times, it all starts with you, because 295 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: I have to look within myself and say, Okay, you 296 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: know how is my life going to affect you know, 297 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: others around and often say you can tell my kids this, 298 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: and myself always tell yourself that you are influence. I 299 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: always say I am influenced every single day. And my 300 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: question that I asked myself at the end of the 301 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: day is how did I influence the environment around me? 302 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: You know, whether it be going to a meeting, whether 303 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: it be going with my team, whether it be going 304 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: to my family or the kids that I coach. How 305 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: did I inspire them through my life? I can inspire 306 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: them a negative way, a neutral way, or a positive way. 307 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: And so I'm always trying to make sure that when 308 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: someone gets around me, whether that's through you know, telling 309 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: stories about my past, being honest, are giving them insights 310 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: on different things. When someone gets around me, I want 311 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: them to be better because they came and encounter with me. 312 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: And so I think when you understand that you have influenced. 313 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: Even if you're walking to the supermarket, you know, you 314 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: can be having a bad day and attitude you might 315 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: somebody might feel that energy and look at you be like, oh, like, hey, 316 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, maybe my day is now even worse. So 317 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: you can be the person who says you know what 318 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: smiles the person you don't never never know that they 319 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: just might need that. So I just always realized that 320 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: with my life that I have the opportunity to make 321 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: an environment better every single day, and so I try 322 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,359 Speaker 1: to live by that.

Everybody can get value out of this book, 370 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: especially if you're trying to look in your life and 371 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: try to jump start it, because a lot of people 372 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: need to jump start their lives because they're doing that. 373 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: I always talking about because you talk about relationships and 374 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: you're hitting so many areas I think that are important. 375 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Why did you want to speak 376 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: about relationships? Because relationships are everything you know as human beings, 377 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: you know our connections with you know, whether it's a 378 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: intimate relationship, whether it's you know, a business relationship, whether 379 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: it's a friendship. Relationships are important. You know, you talk 380 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: to people and usually if something is going wrong in 381 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: their life, it's usually tied to a relationship. So I 382 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: think it's just important that we build strong relationships, we cultivate, 383 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, strong relationships in our lives, so it helps 384 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: us be better. So yeah, I think relationships are everything. Cool. Uh, 385 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if some of the book did. Did 386 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: you want some things to be humorous in the book, 387 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: because some of them I just have to laugh out 388 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: loud at you, you know, like, for instance, I'll tell 389 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: you something man, uh the front of the front of 390 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: the book, when you was in that mud race, man, Yeah, 391 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: I was laughing so loud at you, And what took 392 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: you so long? Yeah? I was like, man, I really 393 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: thought I was gonna die that day. Like I was like, 394 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: I made my piece a god man to do it 395 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: matter me? I was like, you work here? Are you 396 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: supposed to being came and got me. Oh no, you 397 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: you're supposed to let us know what you stand in life. 398 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: That's why. That's why I took from that line. That's 399 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: why because so many people are out there living a 400 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: life and and and they're they're not as saying they 401 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: need help. They's not saying they need change. Because when 402 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: you're about to make change, you have to admit a failure. 403 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: Do you have to admit a failure to have changed 404 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: in your life? See, so many people want to admit 405 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: don't want to admit that. And that's why that's why 406 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: this book is so important, because this is a great moment. 407 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: And I remember when I was when I first went 408 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: on tour as a stand up comedian. I can't swim, okay, tramp. 409 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: And I went out there and then it was it 410 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: was a major decision I had to make on the 411 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: shore because my friends said, man, you know, if you 412 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: want to use the jet ski, just going out there, 413 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: just right there to you And then and then, and 414 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: I had made a major decision in my mind. Okay, 415 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: do I act like I know how to swim and 416 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: get on this jet ski or do I put on 417 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: a life jacket. I made the decision, that's why you 418 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: still hear me talking today, to put on this life 419 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: jacket because I went out there and I fell off 420 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: that jet ski and that jet ski went into a circle. 421 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: And if I would not have had that jacket on, 422 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: I would have drowned. I would have officially drowned that day. 423 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: And that's what you're saying right there, is that we 424 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: have to admit what we can't do to be able 425 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: to accomplished what we can do. That's a resounding theme 426 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: in this book. Correct, absolutely absolutely present. And with that 427 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: being says right there, now let's talk about let's walk 428 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: through this whole bud race. You know, you know you're 429 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: already embarrassed yourself in the previous Mother race, So use 430 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: the term you're the athlete. You've probably still cut up start, 431 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: probably still had that had that stomach looking right. So 432 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: they walk through the steps of that. You know, when 433 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: you realize you died in that cold water. You dived 434 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: in that cold water, and that body, and that body said, 435 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: you know something, I'm gonna start talking now. I'm gonna 436 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: take over this race and let you know how I 437 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: feel about what you've been doing to me. You're in 438 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: the water now, you're just like Rishan. But Rashan had 439 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: a life jacket. Okay that when that jet ski was 440 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: circling me, I could just see it circling but out 441 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: a life jacket, and I was thanking God that you 442 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: told me to put on his life jacket. You let 443 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: me do nothing stupid. But unlike that, you have dived 444 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: in this cold water. You don't have a life jacket. 445 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: Walkers through the Steps, Trenta. So I dropped into the water, 446 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: and like I'm exhausted, right, I don't know why they 447 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: happened at the end anyway, but I dropped into the 448 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: water on the trail.

You are you are 450 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: a superior athlete. You gotta say that because at the 451 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: time you were leading, right, yep, I was you. So 452 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: you're superior athlete that you're leading the race. You're on 453 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: top of the wall. All you have to do a 454 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: zip line drop into this water and you swim and 455 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: you declare the victor.

Man, I to get 495 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: too much t m I, but like my whole body 496 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: was depleted, and I push up and then the guy 497 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: finally comes out there. He saves me. He brings me 498 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: to the side. He's mad, I mean, like he's gonna 499 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: he had his boots and he was he wasn't the 500 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: one supposed to jump in, so he's mad and he's like, 501 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: if you can't swim, why don't you come out here? 502 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: And I was like, man, I can't swim. I was like, 503 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: what took you so long? Like, and I was, I 504 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: was angry. Make a long story short. They take us 505 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: to the tent and in the tentance it's two people 506 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: in the tent and both of us was black. I 507 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: was like, I was like god, I was like this, 508 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: this would be the perfect stereotype for this. Make a 509 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: little after after they got into the tip, I said, 510 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm getting my medal. I was like, 511 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: I did, So I went over there, I grabbed my medal. 512 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: Even I didn't finish, I'm getting my medal. So that 513 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: just taught me valuable some man to ask for help, 514 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, and not be embarrassed to do it, because 515 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,479 Speaker 1: I probably saved myself a lot more if I were 516 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: to really called out for help earlier. Well, well, that's 517 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: why this book is about lessons. And I think the 518 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: biggest thing I like one of the was so many 519 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: great takeaways training. I'm gonna just tell you about the book. 520 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: There's so many because they're relatable, and I think that 521 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: that's what makes this a That's what makes this a 522 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: very effective book and the effective read because of the 523 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 1: fact that this is a scenario about this basically a 524 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: story about when you need help, ask for That's what 525 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: that whole journey of that story was in a in 526 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: a nutshell saying that I'm gonna just show you how 527 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: I pushed my body to a level where it was done. 528 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: But my ego, my ego almost killed me, almost caused 529 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: me to die because I refused to ask for help. 530 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: Now what did you basically outside of just learning that, 531 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: did you learn anything else other than saying if you 532 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: need help, uh called for uh uh? Anything that's out 533 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: of that whole scenario? Well? Yeah, Another big thing is, 534 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: you know, every a lot of people ain't really ain't 535 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 1: willing to reach their life for you because there are 536 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: people there that I knew, you know, like that I 537 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: knew that I saw watching like my man sing past you. 538 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: You said, help excuse me, the finish la finish Yeah 539 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: he he like he went and went past. So the 540 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: thing I stick from that I tell people to this day, 541 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: like a real friend, somebody who really is for you 542 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: is not going to They're not gonna be the person 543 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: that talks to you about you know, and watch you struggle, 544 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: reports your struggles. They're gonna be a person that says, 545 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: you know what, like we we we're gonna laugh about it. 546 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: Because I was in there hoping you're struggling together or 547 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: we didn't make it, and it's just like you realize 548 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: that when struggle shows up, a lot of loyalty or 549 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, uh people claim that they're 550 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: really for you will disappear. And they taught me a 551 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: lot about that because literally, it was probably a hundred 552 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: of people there that I knew because I lit a 553 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: fitness class out there, and some people didn't see me, 554 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: but I know for a fact about thirty people taught 555 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: me in there, and they were they wasn't willing to 556 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 1: risk their life or even you know, I don't even 557 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: think it was a life risking situation, but they wasn't 558 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: really get in there and helped me out. And so 559 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: it just taught me a lot about when it gets real, 560 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,239 Speaker 1: you're gonna see who's really real, who's really there for you? Well, 561 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: what's what's with that statement? Let's live the chapter five 562 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: which I have that here called straight up about friends. Yeah, 563 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: and I was talking to my staff the other day 564 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: that was just you know, I'm I wouldn't say I'm 565 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: a loner, but I'm I'm overachiever and I'm a guy 566 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: who pivots, so that when I said, pivot means and 567 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: when I see an opportunity trend, I will go and 568 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: give to achieve success in that opportunity. So when you pivot, 569 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: a lot of times you that means that the mindset. 570 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: A lot of people go, hey, man, where are you 571 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: going there? A lot of people will say, man, you 572 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: you try to do everything. A lot of people were 573 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: kind of like, uh, throw negative statements to you just 574 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: because you're willing to put forth the after to be successful. 575 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: So you have to always watch when people throw those 576 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: cliches out there. You never satisfy or you're trying to. 577 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,239 Speaker 1: You're trying to be good at everything. You know, you know, 578 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: so don't you just settled down? That's a lot of 579 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: older people say to you, won't you just settled down? 580 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: You're good at one thing? And so to me, as 581 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: I went along, I told him, as a look, the 582 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: people I graduated from high school, I don't really know 583 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: him anymore. The people I went to college, there's a 584 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: bunch of us started out together. I really don't know 585 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: him anymore. The people that worked at my first job. 586 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: And so as you go through life, you're you're gonna 587 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna pivot, You're gonna have people who believe in you, 588 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have people that support you, but more importantly, 589 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: surround yourself with the people who are uh, the street 590 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: term it's ride or die, but basically that's what you 591 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: gotta have. And sometimes even those ride to die people 592 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: when you pivot, might not be ready for that change, 593 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: and you may need to say, you know, I'm sorry, 594 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: this is where our relationship end. And that's what that's 595 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: what professional sports does. Professional sports they know how to pivot. 596 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: They go, look, you know, you you good five years ago. 597 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: You may it was good last season, but I got 598 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: somebody else. And life is about pivoting, and that's what 599 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: That was my great takeaway from that chapter. I wanted 600 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: to hear your your take on it as well. That 601 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: was chapter five straight up about friends. Yeah. Absolutely. Um. 602 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: I always said when when you hit new levels, you're 603 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: gonna probably get new relationships because everybody won't be willing 604 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: to grow with you. That's just facts. You know, there's 605 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: some people that don't understand that. There's some people that 606 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: don't want to put in the work, there's some people 607 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: that it makes the uncomfortable. And so as you continue 608 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: to move and progress with your life, You're going to 609 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: lose people. And that's something I have to realize because 610 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: for me, it was like, why don't you get this? 611 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: And like you said, those cliches like I have, people 612 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: say are you still doing that little rehab time thing? 613 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: Or why are you you know, and it's because a 614 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand just greatness. They don't they 615 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: don't understand going for your dreams. A lot of people 616 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: talk about it, but a lot of people don't have 617 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: that mindset. And so what's helped me um, you know, 618 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: over these years, it's finding people that have that mindset, 619 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: finding people who who challenge me, finding people who are 620 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: either at where I want to be, are are trying 621 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: their hardest to get where I want to be. And 622 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: the more I'm surrounded myself around people with those values, 623 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: it's tended to stick relationships in my life right because 624 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: I got around people not for external reasons, are not 625 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: because you know, we just connect like that, but because 626 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: you have a mindset that I wouldn't mind catching. Because 627 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: mindsets are very constatious, which you surround your life around, 628 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna be that, you know, for if you stay 629 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: around that for a long period of time, so I'm 630 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: trying to find mindsets that grow mind and that give 631 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: me outside of my comfort zone as much as I can. 632 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: I want to close out with this last chapter here 633 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: talking to Trent Shelton, I want to just talk about 634 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: this whole thought about fear. And in chapter ten it's 635 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: about straight up about fear. And I always talk about 636 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: fear what I talk to people, because fear of change, 637 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: fear of you know, the pandemic has really taught us 638 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: a lot about fear because of the fact that it's 639 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: it's forced us to live in a life that we 640 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't do, we didn't prepare for, and it's forced us 641 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: to make adjustments, financial adjustment, social adjustments. And this chapter 642 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: I think it is so relevant now and because of 643 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: the fact of the pandemic, and it's about facing the dog, 644 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: as you say, and the dog is about you know, 645 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: I always tell when you're growing up, they say, if 646 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: you stare a dog barking, if you stare at him, 647 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: he had cower down. That's what they tell you, you know, 648 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: you know. But but that chapter I thought was so 649 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: important to me because of what is happening right now, 650 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: facing reality, willing to make change, failures and fatal how 651 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: they had fear talk about that and were wrapped us 652 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: up trending. I really appreciate you coming on the show. Well, 653 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate you, man, And uh, you know, fear is this, 654 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: you know, I think there's two types of fear, right, 655 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: There's a fear that that that keeps you a live 656 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: as a friend, that tells you, hey, you shouldn't go 657 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: do that because more than likely, you know, maybe it 658 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: was me jumped. Like if you get on the on 659 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: the gear, right, it's like your fear told you, hey, 660 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: you might go on like this. So there's a smart fear. 661 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: But there's also a fear that keeps us from being 662 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: everything that we're created to be. Our keep us from progressive, 663 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: and we usually happens with here is that we allow 664 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: things we can't control to control us. Are as I 665 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: like to say, we create a result from a situation. 666 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: We haven't experienced that. And so if when I think 667 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: about my fear of public speaking, it was I was 668 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: telling myself I was gonna fail. I was telling myself 669 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: people are gonna laugh at me before I ever started. 670 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: And so if you're telling yourself that, you're never going 671 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: to do it. And so the thing that I love 672 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: to tell people is that one focus on what you 673 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: can control and to change the experience right, say okay, 674 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: even if it doesn't go right, I'm going to growth 675 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: from this. I'm gonna learn from this, and you will 676 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: find the courage to walk through that door fear every 677 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: single time if what it waits for you it's something 678 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: that's positive. So I just think that's how we we 679 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: really challenge fear is by facing it. And this is 680 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: the thing too, You'll never when you're a war by 681 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: runner from your battles. So people want to complain about 682 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: the reality, but you'll never change it. My man.
