00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: but anyway, but Jason and I have been friends for

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: a long time. I met him because he too is

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: a financial educator. Jason honestly is one of the inspirations

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: for my recent slow down and you'll hear why, like

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: how awesome he is. But I don't want to just

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: be like Jason's my friend. He's more than that. He's dope.

Speaker 1: and he has a new book called Happy Money, Happy Life,

42
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: which is like literally Jason in a book. You know,

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: so one of things Jason that I admire about you

44
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: that I admired and still admire about you. Is that

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: a long time ago? So Jason used to be on

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: the grind like me. You know, we were all working

47
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: really hard. This is like, you know, like ten eight

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: years ago, personal finance in the way that it is

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: now was just coming to be a thing. You know.

50
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: It was like people like me and Jason and Sandy

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: and also other people, we were kind of like, you know,

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: starting this kind of personal finance journey and brand and

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: bringing y'all in. But while most of us kept grinding

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: until we have we were nothing but little nubs. I know.

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Notice about halfway through that Jason didn't seem to be

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: grinded yet he was still making you know, good money.

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: You know that I saw that he was posting pictures

58
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: of his walks. I remember when Jason, he became a

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: certified yoga instructor. You would be posting your yoga like

60
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, you would like during pandemic. You were doing

61
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: yoga so people can do it along with you. I

62
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: just remember being like, what is going on with Jason?

63
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: Because I know you still have frugal I know you're

64
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: still a financial educator. But then there's this other part

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: of you, the zen chill, like I'm not doing all

66
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: that part of you. Like what happened?

67
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: It's fascinating, right because I think when I disappeared out

68
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: of the personal finance space and I was I was

69
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: honing into the wellness space a bit more. So everyone

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: was wondering what happened to my business or did I

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: just go totally broke? And I was like, no, I

72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: need to focus on my physical, mental, and spiritual health.

73
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: And I built a business that was running like with itself,

74
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: so I just didn't need to participate as much as

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: I needed to. What really happened was I think you

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: put it in there like we're in the grind, we're

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: in the hustle, and I am a big believer that

78
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: gears that grind for too long get worn out and

79
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: then thrown out.

80
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Oh say again, I put the people to bad Jason

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: say it.

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: Again, Gears that grind for too long get worn out

83
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 3: and then thrown out. I certainly didn't want to be

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: thrown out, and so I know this is something that

85
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: I believe in. Like the work that we do, This

86
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: is purposeful work for me, but it's also grueling. I mean,

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot of demands. There's a lot of things

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: that we have to do to get the things going.

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: And so especially when we are driven with our own

90
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: personal ambition and we're driven with passion and purpose, we

91
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: can get worn out doing those things. And I felt

92
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: myself getting worn out. And when we get worn out,

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: we start making all these decisions, ill decisions, and then

94
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it's just like it's a compounding

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: effect and it's going to affect our mental health, our

96
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: emotion well being, and then I'm going to start feeling

97
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: tired and lethargic. And so that's exactly what happened. I mean,

98
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: I became a bestseller, became the sought after speaker going

99
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: all around the country, and it was great, but all

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: of a sudden, I just started feeling like I was

101
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: being pulled away from the work I wanted to do

102
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: to just appear. And the one thing that really hit

103
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: home was when someone said to me, I was chasing

104
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: influence over affluence, and influence is this, Oh you got

105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 3: to be like on stage every single time, I have

106
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: to be on social media every single time, versus like

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: really working on affluence and affluence isn't just the financial

108
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: wealth it's about how my feeling like in other parts

109
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: of my life. And so I know this that there

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 3: were areas of my life I needed to work on.

111
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 3: And yeah, like I think just like you, we're like

112
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 3: we're grinding away and then other things in our lives

113
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: start happening, and so I needed to listen and take

114
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 3: a step back. And that's exactly what happened. And so

115
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: when all this stuff's happened, I took a step back.

116
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 3: I can go. I need to reassess, readjust and revaluate

117
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: where I'm walking.

118
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: I love that. And you, you really you started to

119
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: make those changes long before it became like now people

120
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: are like, I don't want to overwork, But you made

121
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: them when it was really scared to make those changes

122
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: because no one was doing that. Back then. It was like, uh, Jason,

123
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: the money is getting good. What you know with Jason

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: sitting down a little bit. So one of the things,

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, one of the reasons why I wanted Jason

126
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: to come on is because in his book, his new book,

127
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: Happy Money, Happy Life, which is available at Happy Money,

128
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Happy Life book dot com. Don't you like that? I

129
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: told Jason, I'm like, go get that domain, Happy Money,

130
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Happy lifebook dot com. Okay, it's the name of his book.

131
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: So one of the things that really blew me away

132
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: about your book is this, it is a multiple multiple

133
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: what is it? Multi dimensional approach? Right? And I had

134
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: never really heard of that before. I mean, you know,

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: like in passing. But I didn't realize that there were

136
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: these eight dimensions that you know, really help really compose

137
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: what full wellness and holistic wellness? Can you tell us

138
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: what these dimensional, multi dimensional approaches are and how does

139
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: money play a role in this? In that and in

140
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: your book?

141
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's interesting, right because I thought I came

142
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: up with this brilliant idea that there are eight dimensions

143
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: of wellness. And so I remember in twenty sixteen going, okay,

144
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: everything is connected. So it's not just financial, it's not

145
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: just professional, there's mental and emotional. Everything's connected. And then

146
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: eventually I started doing the research and finding all these studies.

147
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: For decades, people have talked about the multidimensionality of human beings,

148
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: and so for me, I chose the eight wellness dimensions

149
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: because I think that encompasses who we are, and they

150
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 3: are mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, environmental, occupational, and financial.

151
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: Those are the eight dimensions that make you you. We

152
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: are multifaceted, dimensional, multi layered individuals. And the reason why

153
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: when things seem to be working out in one area

154
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: of our life and we don't feel happy or we

155
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: don't feel well, chances are there is a dimension that

156
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 3: needs your attention. And so for me, in this book,

157
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: what I do is I talk about these dimensions through

158
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: the lens of money. I show how money weaves itself

159
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: through these dimensions and how it impacts us positively or negatively.

160
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: And most of the time too, it could be our

161
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: own decision making when it comes to money, and also

162
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: the external factors that we have no control over the economy,

163
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: the job market, and other decisions around us. And so

164
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: what I want people to understand when we are focused

165
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: so much, and this is what happened to me. I

166
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: was so focused for period of my life on professional success,

167
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: that is occupational health, which I call happy work. What

168
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: we do, we take our identity and we base it

169
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: solely on salary and the title we hold at this job,

170
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: and so all these achieved. Well if we solely focus

171
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: on occupational health and we excel to the detriment of

172
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: our mental and physical health, well guess what happens. It's

173
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: going to affect our finances, It's going to affect every

174
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: other aspects of our well being. And so for this instance,

175
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: when I was at a point when I was like

176
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: grinding away climbing up the corporate ladder and it became

177
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: VP of Marketing and business development for this financial institution,

178
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: while I was suffering mentally, I was emotionally drained, and

179
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: that psychological distress was manifesting itself physically. So I was

180
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: getting sick, I developed vertigo, I had like pink eye

181
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: or red eyes for two weeks. My eyes were bleeding

182
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: for two weeks, and I couldn't get out of bed.

183
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 3: And then when I couldn't get out of bed, I

184
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: felt useless and it started affecting my social wellbeing because

185
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: I didn't want to hang out with friends or family.

186
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: And then I felt this void in my life because

187
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: something that I was passionate about at that time, climbing

188
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: up to career ladder, was affecting spiritually. And so for me,

189
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: I want people to understand, like these dimensions are interconnected,

190
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: they're overlapping, and so once you understand these eight dimensions

191
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 3: and how they there's there intersectionality of them. It is

192
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: a powerful life changing way of looking at yourself.

193
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: Honestly, Jaysa. I was just telling her a friend of mine,

194
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: like literally, I was like super excited. I was telling

195
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: her a friend of mine, about your book, and I

196
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: was telling him that, like, yo, I you know, you

197
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: kind of you understand that obviously there are components to

198
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: your life, but I could never understand why to your point,

199
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: when I was making the most amount of money I've

200
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: ever made, I was so miserable. My blood pressure had spiked.

201
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: It was like, and now I have to honestly say,

202
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: you know that, despite all that's happened, you know, I

203
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: am in a space of grief, grace and gratitude, you know,

204
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: and I'm actually happy. And I'm like how And I

205
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: was literally I pulled up the eight dimensions and I said, oh,

206
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: I'm happy because every aspect of these dimensions I am

207
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: present in. You know, because before I wasn't hanging out

208
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: that it was just budgets them, there was no tiffany,

209
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: so the social out the window. I had gained thirty pounds,

210
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: my blood pressure had spiked, so physical was not being

211
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: looked after financial. I mean, I was good as far

212
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: as money, but that was about it. Every other part

213
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: of my life was out of alignment. And so I

214
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: thought like, well, I thought, if I work really hard

215
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: and I'm make really good money and I'm helping people,

216
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: that it should be enough. It wasn't because I was

217
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: not looking at myself holistically. And so that's why I

218
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: love because you know, one of the things, that's one

219
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: of the things I love about you as a person,

220
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: but also the fact that you wrote this book to

221
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: talk about that. You know, we talk about money, but

222
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: I always say it's really not money. You know that

223
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: I want people to use money to live. Well, now

224
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: how do you do that? And I feel like with

225
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Happy Money, Happy Life, you know, that's what you that's

226
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: what you talk about, like how do you use your

227
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: money as a tool, you know, not the goal itself.

228
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: So thank you for that. So we're actually going to

229
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: jump to a quick break because you know, we all

230
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: to we get to Falcon right. So we've got Jason

231
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: v tug a frugal but this new book, Happy Money,

232
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: Happy Life, will be right back black and Brown. And

233
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: we're back in Black and Brown, super excited. We have

234
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: Jason in the studio in this stew with us talking

235
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: about multi dimensionality. We're talking about Happy Money, Happy Life,

236
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: his new book. So, Jason, while we're back, you did

237
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: something with my dream catches the other day that was amazing.

238
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: So I'm going to put you on the spot. You

239
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: did just a really quick breathing activity, and I'd like

240
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: for you to just walk us through this like two

241
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: or three minute breathing activity, even if you're driving, you

242
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: have the kids or whatever. If you can't do it, now,

243
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: that's okay. Look at the time stamp. You know of

244
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: this activity on the video or the audio that you're watching,

245
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: so you can come back to it. And I want

246
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: Jason to lead us through because when I tell you

247
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: it chilled me, y'all know I'm hyper. It chilled me

248
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: all the way out. So Jason, the floor is yours.

249
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

250
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: So I want to preface this because I think it's

251
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 3: important for people to understand why I am a breathwork

252
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: specialist and why this is part of my daily routine.

253
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 3: Because there are just so many things happening in this world.

254
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 3: There's so many things that cause us stress in our lives,

255
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 3: and so it's not just financial and so for me,

256
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: discovering breath work was a life changing kind of force,

257
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: and what I've been doing is incorporating it in these

258
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 3: talks is it's such a powerful way for us to

259
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: address our nervous system, because our nervous system is like

260
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 3: it's all hyped up. And so what I do want

261
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: to say is that when you get an opportunity, go

262
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: back to this timestamp, and so you could do this

263
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: in a safe space, because when we're working with breath

264
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: it will change how you feel in your body. And

265
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: so if you're in a safe space right now, I

266
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: want you to gently kind of lift up your body,

267
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: feel that energy flowing from from your core all the

268
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,479
Speaker 3: way up to your head, nice and tall back, Relax

269
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: your shoulders, allow your to drop gently towards your chest.

270
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: You can close your eyes if you want to, if

271
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: you feel comfortable, and just be present in this moment.

272
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: And I want you to start noticing where your breath

273
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: enters your body through the nose, perhaps through your mouth,

274
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: and feeling that sensation of air through your nostrils, through

275
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: your body and filling up your lungs, and just being

276
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: present with that force. Now as you get in touch

277
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: and feel this pull of gravity in any parts of

278
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: your body that's touching the floor. We're gonna work with

279
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: manipulating your breath. We're gonna go and take a nice

280
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: deep inhale through your nose, filling your lungs up with

281
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: air and releasing through your mouth with a sigh. And

282
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: let's do that in hell through your nose, filling your

283
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: lungs up with air and releasing through your mouth with

284
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: a sigh. And allow yourself to do this a few

285
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: more times. And the power of this is that we

286
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: hold so much tension around our jawline, around our mouth,

287
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: so you're probably noticing there's that tension there. And by

288
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: simply breathing in through our nose and intentionally and mindfully

289
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: exhaling through our mouth with that sigh, we're allowing our

290
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: body to remain still, to be present, to relax. And

291
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: let's take one more deep inhale through the nose, and

292
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: I want you to hold it at the top for

293
00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: three seconds one, two, three, and then release allow yourself.

294
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: And now as you get in and are in your body,

295
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: I want you to start gently wiggling your fingers, wingling

296
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: your toes, allow yourself to come back into the room

297
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: and welcome back into this three D physical world.

298
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: That was so amazing, Jason. Honestly, it just it just

299
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: this is one of the things that like I appreciate

300
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: most about you, that this is what you bring to

301
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: the financial space in a special way that I don't

302
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: know that there's anybody, you know, no one on that

303
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: I know, no one that I followed, no one that

304
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: I've read up about that approaches personal finance from this space.

305
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: You know, this fully grounded, this fully like you know,

306
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: just breath work and personal finance. It just doesn't seem

307
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: like it matches, but it does. Imagine doing a breathwork

308
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: exercise before you sit down and budget with your partner,

309
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, imagine doing yoga moves every Saturday, and you know,

310
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: before you do your budget for the week. You know, Like,

311
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: I just love that, Like this is the space, This

312
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: is the unique beauty that you bring to this, this

313
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: personal finance space. And I just you know, I hope

314
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: you all, you know you're listening, if you got a

315
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: chance to do a little bit that's short, a little

316
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: bit of breath work that you know you're feeling as

317
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: calm as I am, that you can tell my voice

318
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: is totally changed. I'm like, Yeah, I'm so chill, you know,

319
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: but like, but I know it hasn't always been easy,

320
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, for you, Jason, and I think it would

321
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: be good for people to hear. I know you shared

322
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of like how you got here, you know,

323
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: but you know, just maybe diving deeper into how you

324
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: got here and why did you write this book so

325
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: we can go on the journey with you?

326
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, thank you for that. I want people to

327
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 3: understand that we all have personal journeys, and our journey

328
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: isn't this straight linear upward trajectory, and it isn't just

329
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: a downward trend either. And for me, I've had ups

330
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: and downs, twists and turns. I thought I had it

331
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: all figured out. Well, I thought I had it all

332
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: figured out when I quit my corporate job and went

333
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: backpacking around the world discovering my purpose. And discovering my

334
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 3: purpose wasn't the end to my story. When I started

335
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 3: frugal and I started on this mission becoming me financial

336
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: educator and incorporating health and wealth, that wasn't really the

337
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: case because I got pulled into the entrepreneurial hustle. So

338
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: when I was hustling in corporate America and then I

339
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: was hustling in the entrepreneurial world. I was experiencing the

340
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: same burnout. I was experiencing the same issues. The physical

341
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: manifestations of all the mental gymnastics that I was doing

342
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 3: was causing me a great deal of distress and now

343
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: affecting me professionally in the work that I absolutely loved doing,

344
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: and then impacting my finances. And so there was a

345
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: point in my life, tiffany where, just like you, I

346
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: reached this level financial success and I'm like, I'm at

347
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 3: the top of my game. I'm getting paid tens of

348
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 3: thousands of dollars to speak for one hour, and coming

349
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: from a city like Elizabeth, New Jersey, the fourth largest city,

350
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: growing up where we lived in seventeen different houses, where

351
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: we didn't talk about money. I didn't have luxury goods,

352
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 3: we didn't go on fancy vacations, and like growing up

353
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 3: with just the essentials and not knowing about the how

354
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 3: the other half lives did impact me. And so when

355
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: I achieved these financial success and I thought, that's how,

356
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 3: that's what's going to make me happy. And when I

357
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: achieve that level of professional and financial success, there were

358
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 3: still all these other things I needed to work on.

359
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: And so for me, just getting the becoming mentally drained,

360
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 3: emotionally exhausted, physically ill just affected my professional and financial success.

361
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: So I started making bad financial decisions and I was

362
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 3: actually really ashamed of that. And that has a lot

363
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 3: to do with like, Okay, well you are a money expert.

364
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: How could you make financial mistakes as a money expert?

365
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: And I was making those mistakes at the height of

366
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: my quote unquote financial influence. And for me, it's realizing

367
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: that this is a journey of ups and downs and

368
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 3: twists and turns, and I have the opportunity, as long

369
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 3: as there's air in my lungs, as long as I

370
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: am motivated to get up and do the work, that

371
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: I can have a different path. I can take a

372
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: different path, I can choose, I make different choices. And

373
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 3: so for me, I've no longer have the shame, the guilt,

374
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 3: the embarrassment of my financial mistakes. And I certainly know

375
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: that as I continue on this journey, I'll probably make

376
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: a few more financial mistakes. But the message I want

377
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: people to understand is that money is just one aspect

378
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: of who we are, and if we can remove the

379
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 3: small little stress of our financial life, we can then

380
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: focus on other aspects of our well being. And so

381
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: for that little short thing is I just want people

382
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: to know I still don't have it all figured out,

383
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 3: but getting my money right, understanding where work takes presidents

384
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 3: in my well being and everything else. Like I'm working

385
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 3: towards that holistic wellness that I want everyone else to

386
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: be on in this journey.

387
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,040

00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I want people to understand, like there is

398
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 3: these wellness dimensions and I call them happy dimensions. How

399
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: we can incorporate the happy dimensions into our life. So

400
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: mental health is happy mind, emotional health is happy heart,

401
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: physical health is happy body, and then you have your

402
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: spiritual that's happy spirit, your social wellbeing, right, the people

403
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: that's around you, that's happy social, occupational, that's your work,

404
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: it's happy work. Environmental, the physical places you inhabit and

405
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: live that does effectively, that does affect your well being.

406
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: That's happy space. And your financial health that's happy money.

407
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: And so love that. Yeah.

408
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 3: I just think it's just a way like think about

409
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: your wellness as these in these happy dimensions. And we

410
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: need to figure out how we can again utilize money

411
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 3: as a tool to help us in these things. And

412
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 3: when you mentioned like we talk about money is a tool,

413
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: and I like people to think of money as a

414
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: tool to create fill in the blank. So what do

415
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 3: you want money to create in your life? Because a

416
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: lot of these financial gurus, what do they talk about?

417
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,239
Speaker 3: They talk about space, financial milestones, to talk about how

418
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: much you need on your four to one K, your investments,

419
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 3: your savings accounts, those things are important because it's going

420
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 3: to help you improve your financial health, your happy money. Now,

421
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 3: you have to understand once you get to that point

422
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 3: or you're working towards achieving those investment numbers or those

423
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: financial numbers, don't forget your happy mind, your happy heart,

424
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: your happy body, your happy spirit, you could work towards

425
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: happy money while you're working towards lifting or strengthening those

426
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: other dimensions.

435
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: Money, well aside from the financial tactics that we talk about.

436
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 3: And then and you do so well with Get Good

437
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: with Money. Get that copy of the book, because that

438
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 3: is a holistic way to get your financial wholeness going.

439
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 3: The first step I would recommend is just paying attention

440
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: to your breath. We did breath work. So the one

441
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: key thing that when I meet someone, I know how

442
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: they are doing based on how they're breathing. If they

443
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 3: have short, quick breaths coming out of their mouth, I

444
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 3: know that they're going through something, and so the way

445
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: I interact with them will be a bit different. I'll

446
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: give them space and grace that they need. And if

447
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: I see someone who has calm and collected yes, then

448
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: I know that we could have a different type of conversation.

449
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: So they want you to do is become aware of

450
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: how you're breathing. Are you breathing through your nose or

451
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 3: are you're breathing through your mouth? Is your jaw clenched?

452
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you're not getting enough air and

453
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: you're gasping? And the reason why I want you to

454
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 3: pay attention to that is because your physical body is

455
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 3: sharing something about your mental and emotional state through breathing.

456
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 3: And if you are unable to fully breathe be in

457
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: your body, it is really hard to budget. It is

458
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: really hard to have that conversation with your partner, it's

459
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 3: really hard to get on the phone and try to

460
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: negotiate your service contracts and things like that.

461
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: So that is the first step.

462
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: And I think that's such an eye opening thing when

463
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: you go and you may not notice it for yourself,

464
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 3: but the next time you speak with someone and you

465
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: see that they're holding their breath, that they're breathing through

466
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 3: their mouths, it's say that's kind of one of the

467
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: key things, and so I'm known now to go it's like, hey,

468
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 3: how are you doing? And then it's and then they'll

469
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: open up. And that just has to do with paying

470
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 3: attention to the breath. And I think I want everyone

471
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: to be at home just just be cognizance. I'm planting
