And this is one of 18 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: those guys. Troy Jacobson. Troy Jacobson incredible career was a 19 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: professional triathlete for many years and at the very same 20 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: time he branched off and started being an entrepreneur doing 21 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: his own fitness videos, his own coaching, and I ended 22 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: up doing all those things as well, other than being 23 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: a professional triathlete. I started doing the triathlons, I started 24 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: doing my own fitness videos. His were cycling, Mine were 25 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: more fitness, more weight training, things like that. And I 26 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: started coaching as well, and then branched off into books 27 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: and other things. But so excited to talk to him. 28 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him in many, many years. He 29 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: was the only coach I ever had because after I 30 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: stopped using him as a coach, I started writing the 31 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: books and coaching myself, and so I wanted to put 32 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: into place my methodologies. So I have not talked to 33 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: him in many years. I'm so excited to do show, 34 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: and he is one of those guys I always bring 35 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: you guests who have done not just one thing, but 36 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: many things, because that is so important. Can just be 37 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: a coach if you've never achieved what you're coaching people 38 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: to do? In my opinion, okay, you can. Shouldn't say 39 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: you can't. There are many and some are good, but most, 40 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: I would argue are not. Because you need a wealth 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: of experience of education to be someone who can truly 42 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: understand what it feels like right as an athlete. And 43 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: this is Troy Jacobson is one of those guys. Okay, 44 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: professional athlete. And here's the amazing thing that he will 45 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: talk about, not only was he a professional athlete at 46 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: the very same time when he was coming out with 47 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: those videos, he would be working the exposed the boots 48 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: in the days leading up to his races Hawaii iron Man, 49 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: He'd be on his feet all day long work. Most 50 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: triathletes are sleeping and exercising and eating and sleeping and 51 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: exercising and eating. There not entrepreneurs the way he is. 52 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: And I'd argue that's one of the reasons he's super 53 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: successful is because he's taken all these things. He worked 54 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: his butt off. He's so inspirational. And so we went 55 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: from the triathlete to the entrepreneur to working for a 56 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: well known fitness chain, huge you know in the coaching 57 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: corporate side slash and now he's got his own corporate 58 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: coaching business, you know, executive coaching, which makes complete sense, 59 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: complete sense that this would be the next phase of 60 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: his life. Still coaches athletes, I believe, and he'll talk 61 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: about that, but he is going to talk about an 62 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: article that I just loved. I could talk about him 63 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: with him, I should say about so many different things, 64 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: but there was one article that I saw him post 65 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: on LinkedIn and it just resonated with me, and it 66 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: will resonate with you. And it's why you're not achieving 67 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: your goals. You know the re things to talk about 68 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: to help you achieve your goals. And many of you 69 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: are going to say, oh, those are pretty obvious. Yeah, 70 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: as we talk about on just about every show, the 71 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: answers are right there. It's the application that is challenging 72 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: for so many people. And Troy Jacobson is going to 73 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: prove that to you with his great three tips, three reasons, 74 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: three things that are preventing you from achieving your goals. 75 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: And it's another show. You're gonna have takeaways, you're gonna 76 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: have actionable advice that you can use right away. And 77 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: that's really exciting because that's what I want this show 78 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: to be, and that's what this show is. It's giving 79 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: you the things, the information you need to make incredibly 80 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: positive changes in your life. I have the greatest job 81 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: in the world. Say it every show because I mean 82 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: it and I feel it, and every time I turn 83 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: on this microphone, I appreciate it. I love what I do. 84 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: Troy Jacobson loves what he does, and we can help 85 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: you love your life that much more, enjoy it that 86 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,119 Speaker 1: much more. And far too often there's articles and people 87 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: and they tell you can't do it. We all know that, 88 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: we all have those friends, quote unquote enemies, articles, books. 89 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: It's challenging, but it's doable. I don't even like using 90 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 1: the word hard. It slips out every now and again. 91 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: It's a hard hard hard like it's challenging, but it's 92 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: worth it. And he'll talk about that. And it's incredible 93 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: how much I followed in his footsteps, you know. And 94 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: I went back and read his biography. Obviously knew it, 95 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: but it's super inspiring. And my point about having him 96 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: not only be someone who's gonna help you with those 97 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: three things that are preventing you from achieving your goals, 98 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: but also have him serve as an example that I 99 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: studied what he did, I followed in his footsteps, didn't 100 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: make any excuses, and I achieved the very same things 101 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: that he did that I wanted and then I exceeded them. 102 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: And that should be inspiring to you. What do you want? 103 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: What do you think you can't have that you want? 104 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: Fitness wise, health wise, personally, financially, they're all connected. Yes, 105 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: this is fitness disrupted, but it's all connected. And when 106 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: you start with fitness, the things you can control. What 107 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: do I say all the time? There are three things 108 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: we can control, well we put in our mouths, how 109 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: much we move in our attitudes and exercise and nutrition. 110 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: When we start to control those things as we can, 111 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: really really good things happen. All right. When we come 112 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: back from this quick break, one of my I'll say 113 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: idols because I did. I idolized his life and his 114 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: work ethic and just studied him and followed his plan 115 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: and it worked. It took time, it was challenging, but 116 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: it was worth it. Troy Jacobson. When we come back 117 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: from this break and we are back, I could not 118 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: be more excited. Did a recent show with Matt Fitzgerald. 119 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: There are three people in my lifetime who I have 120 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: just respected at the utmost level. And watch what they did. 121 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: They had careers that I wanted, and they worked really hard, 122 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: but they got results. And Matt Fitzgerald is one of them. 123 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: And my next guest he is another, and I don't 124 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: even know if he remembers he coached me way back 125 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: when he's probably coached thousands and thousands of people. But 126 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: Troy Jacobson is with us today and I only bring 127 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: you the best guests. This is about disrupting fitness. It's 128 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: about helping you be the best you. And let me 129 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: just tell you quickly. And my guests have the longest 130 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: bios because they have done so much. But Troy, he's 131 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: one of these guys. And and most of my guests 132 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: are who not only walked the walk, they talked to talk. 133 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: So Troy started, you know, he was a former pro 134 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: triathlete in the nineties, highest level place twentie overall in Kona. 135 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: That's the championship. So and that's back in the day 136 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: where listen it's always hard but pretty amazing. So was 137 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: a highlight second overall at iron Man Florida. I remember 138 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: watching him compete and following his career even back then. 139 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: But then he created a whole line of fitness videos 140 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: right one of the first. He was also one of 141 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: the first coaches who was doing it online coaching. So 142 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: he opened a strong Focus training studio in Maryland. He 143 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: is a former official coach of iron Man, a Master coach, 144 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: and then he went corporate for a while. He joined 145 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: Lifetime Fitness as the Senior National Director of Endurance Sports 146 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: and that was for eleven years, two thousand and eight 147 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: through two thousand nineteen. And here's what's so cool is 148 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: he went from being the athlete to the entrepreneur. And 149 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: phase three, if we want to, I guess phase three, Um, 150 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: he's now transitioned to executive coaching and business consulting. Right 151 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: he's working with the top uh CEOs, helping people and 152 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: business owners perform at their highest level, working with is 153 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: it vestige? Is that you pronounce a Troy vistage? Yeah? Worldwide? 154 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: So Troy could not be more excited, you know, probably 155 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: creeping you out a little bit, how I've I've followed 156 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: you over the years, but yeah, so excited to have 157 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: you and just to talk about obviously have wanted to 158 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: interview for a very long time. And why I called 159 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: Troy is got the podcast and he put on LinkedIn 160 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: an amazing article three reasons people failed to achieve their 161 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: goals and what you need to do to succeed. And 162 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: as is so often on this show, Troy, it's it's 163 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: the simple stuff, right, Occam's razor. But start talking about, 164 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: like what prompted you to write that article pretty recent, right, 165 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: so three things that you see people making mistakes when 166 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: they're trying to achieve something.

And yeah, I 171 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: do remembering you actually, and I remember you actually started 172 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: one of my videos. I think it was totally no 173 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: no hime it it was uh tough love, I think, 174 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: wasn't it what we've gotten Baltimore at the Museum of Industry. 175 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: And do you remember what I did and how you 176 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: called me out? You know, I guess I don't remember that. 177 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: Tell me more. Yeah, no, this is good. So I 178 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: was cheating, bottom line. I was Troy like, so, I'm 179 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: an endurance guy. I I've gotten buy on a big engine. 180 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: So when I started working with Troy, and I laughed 181 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: because I think the first time I reached out to you, 182 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I want to go subtend and 183 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure you got that and you're like, yeah, whatever, 184 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: I'll put together a plan for you, but so does 185 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: everyone else and you have no idea what you're getting 186 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: into or but uh so I did this video with Troy, 187 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: an amazing coach, and he would walk around and tell you. 188 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: First of all, I didn't know half the things he 189 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: was saying, like put it in this ring or that ring. 190 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: It didn't even know. But you know, I knew I 191 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: was cheating, so I just said, I'm gonna make it 192 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: as easy as possible because this is on camera and 193 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to suffer if you though that was 194 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: the goal. So long story short, Troy walks around, obviously 195 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: knew I was cheating, and about halfway through the video, 196 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: You're like, okay, Tom, I can't take it any longer. 197 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: Would you put it in the big ring? You know? 198 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: Would would you do what I'm saying? I could tell 199 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: you're cheating? So that was awesome. That was a moment. 200 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: That's right. You can't take it in those videos you can't, 201 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: And that was it. I was cheating. So that kind 202 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: of ties into everything we're talking about here. You kick, 203 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: I got away with you know, the genetics for a while, 204 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: but then I needed to change so you've just been 205 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: amazing Troy and and gods go back, talk about where 206 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: you started from being the professional triathlete. Um, yeah, well 207 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: so back in the early nineties. Asion has actually gotten 208 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: into sport in the late eighties, but you know, raised 209 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: at a high level in the nineties and came from 210 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: a football background in high school and actually freshman yeon college, 211 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: so I was a bigger strength athlete, transitioned into endurance training, 212 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: really fell in love with it. Uh, found out that 213 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: I was more you know, genetically predetermined to being an 214 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: indorance athlete, but also had an entrepreneurial mindset. So as 215 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: a guy out of college, I started my coaching business 216 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: and um gravitated into video production and you know, built 217 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: a coaching company when back in the day when there 218 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: weren't very many of those. Was really fortunate, you know, 219 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: really good timing, and it just worked out really well. 220 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: Opened up a couple of retail stores, got into some 221 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: commercial real estate investing, fitness club, all these different things, 222 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: and then transitioned into corporate life. Was recruited by Lifetime Fitness, 223 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: one of the larger health club companies in the US, 224 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: and had a great opportunity to influence a lot of 225 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: the members for lifetime um in the endurance space. So 226 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: I oversaw the track lon, running and cycling club piece 227 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: for our roughly one forty clubs company wide, which was 228 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: a great experience and great company to work for, and 229 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: did that for just over ten years, and it is 230 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: the most recently transitioned out of that role and kind 231 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: of leveraging my entrepreneurial background, small business ownership background with 232 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: my corporate team member background into executive coaching. So that's 233 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: what I'm doing and having a blast with it, working 234 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: with theos of all levels and working with a company 235 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: called Vistage worldwide setting up CEO peer advisory boards in Tucson, 236 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: but also working with CEOs and high performing executives throughout 237 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: the country online and helping them take it to the 238 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: next level. And it's such an amazing background and I 239 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: want people, so you know, it's it's amazing when in 240 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: you people like you, Troy, It's like, you know, it 241 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: just comes natural that you did the work right and 242 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: and how long it took, and the sacrifices and and 243 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: the the you know, I loved where you wrote about 244 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: how you know when you invested in that first fitness 245 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: video as did. I like, it was more money than 246 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: we both had, right, And it's it's like could not 247 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: be scary. You're like, oh my god, I remember when 248 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: I did a Troy. You were doing the cycling videos. 249 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: I was doing the strength training and people are like, 250 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: you're an idiot, like how many fitness videos are out there? 251 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: Why what are you you know? And I was like, 252 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm different, I'm me your Troy, right. So but it's 253 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: it's taking those chances. And so Troy went from being 254 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: not only a ridiculously high level triathlete, but you at 255 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: the same time, we're we're building that business. So am 256 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: I not right? The story I heard, the myth, the 257 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: legend was that you would be competing at Hawaii, but 258 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: you would be selling the videos. You would be working 259 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: the booth and and doing things simultaneously even while you 260 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: were racing. Years work, going out texposed, sponsoring events, um 261 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: and then hopping on the race course the next day, 262 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: you know, just living I guess, walking the walk, you know, 263 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: being authentic in that space, not only as an athlete, 264 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: but as a coach and as a small business owner. 265 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: And the goal is always to create a business, but 266 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: also to help athletes do better, right, That's always been 267 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: my passion is helping athletes or anybody I actually take 268 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: it to the next level and keep the goals. So 269 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: it just dovetailed well together. And I have a lot 270 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: of gratitude for having right climbing, right physical gifts, yeah, 271 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: competitive athlete, and then obviously the right support from my 272 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: parents and other people in my life who helped me 273 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: build my business and take it into a success. So 274 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: I have a lot of gratitude about that. I love that, 275 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: and it's and it's nice, you know, to appreciate that 276 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: support system, which is so important. But also I just 277 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: want to reiterate the fact that you worked your butt off. 278 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: You know you did so too. Most professional triathletes are 279 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: training and sleeping and training and sleeping and eating and 280 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: training and sleeping, and you're working the booth and training 281 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: and sleeping and work in the booth and and being 282 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: that entrepreneur because there are now excuses and and it 283 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: takes hard work and you've got to put in the time, 284 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: but it pays off. And that's what we'll get to, uh. 285 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: And the parallels obviously between fitness and life. You know, 286 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: I always say that iron Man teaches you so much 287 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: and endurance races. Not that you have to do that, people, 288 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: but you know, what you learn is so many different 289 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: things about yourself and so many things that you're going 290 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: to carry into your next life. And that's what makes 291 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: Troy such an amazing coach, not only for the physical 292 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: and the racing, but now for the business side, because 293 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: it's all connected and and he's walked the walk, as 294 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: we said, So let's get right into this this awesome 295 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: article because this is what people will be able to 296 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: take away. And let me just read the title again, 297 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: the three reasons I failed to achieve my goals and 298 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: what I need to do to succeed, regardless of the 299 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: time of year. Everyone, but we're getting on to you know, 300 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: New Year's resolutions, Troy and and goals. So let's start 301 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: with number one, the lack of passion and conviction. Talk 302 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, so you know, I wrote this article 303 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: um about I guess, my own experiences. I think it's 304 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: always important to write from from where you're coming from 305 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: and the space you're in. So I wrote this article 306 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: actually a couple of years ago, and I re find 307 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: it a little bit more before posting it to linked in. 308 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: But one of the reasons I think, I know I 309 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: fail and I believe other people fail is because they 310 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: just don't have that passion or conviction for what they're doing. 311 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: They don't they haven't defined their why, you know, they 312 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: haven't really dug deep and done the poor work or 313 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: the hard interwork to determine what they really want to do. 314 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: And when you're not really connected to your why, it's 315 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: a lot easier to give in um when things get 316 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: tough to stop. But when you're really connected to your 317 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: why and you feel like you're being pulled towards something 318 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: as opposed to push towards something, that's when really great 319 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: things happen. So one of the first steps is to 320 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: get connected to your why. And if you don't have that, 321 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: you're not likely likely to succeed. And so what's some 322 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: way like what are how would someone go about troy 323 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: figuring that out? Like what's the first step of someone's like, Okay, 324 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: I get that I need that that reason. They got 325 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: to do some soul searching, right, So what do you 326 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: recommend like that average person who's trying to figure out, Okay, 327 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: I need to exercise I need to make these changes 328 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: in my life. How do they start. Yeah, I mean 329 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: that's a great question. I think everyone goes about it 330 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: in a different way. You have to figure out, I guess, 331 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: what's what you're passionate about. What what makes you wake 332 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: up in the morning and get you excited to get 333 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: the day started, or what outcome do you wish to have. 334 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: So when it's related to exercise, maybe the outcome is 335 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: losing weight, or maybe it's losing weight not only for 336 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: your personal health and fitness, but maybe it's because you 337 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: want to change the way you look and the way 338 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: you show up in the world. Maybe it's to increase 339 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: your energy levels and that and how that would then 340 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: translate to you being able to accomplish more in other 341 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: areas of your life. So there's always a need. It's 342 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: just a matter of figuring out what your purposes and 343 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: then being intentional around moving towards that purpose. That makes sense, no, totally, 344 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: And for me when I was you know, I make 345 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: the analogy that I look back, I think for guys 346 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 1: seventh and eighth grade, Like in eighth grade, I had 347 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: pictures of bodybuilders in my locker at school and was 348 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: just starting doing push up because herschel Walker I read 349 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: in sports illustrated that, you know. So I look back 350 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: and what that was, what I was exciting, It was 351 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: before you had like a lot of responsibility. So I 352 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: think looking back, I mean, obviously this is different. It's 353 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: more with the business side or but but looking at 354 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: to what Troy is talking about, that that really motivates you, 355 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: that gets you out of bed in the morning, that 356 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: gets you to the gym, that gets you working on 357 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: that project outside of what you're doing right now. And 358 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: there's so much of that out there. But that's the 359 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: thing is when you're truly passionate about something, right, Troy, like, 360 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: I love to exercise. I love my job. It's not 361 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: a job. I love what I do. And I think 362 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: people need to find that and then believe that they 363 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: can do that right. And I think that's part of 364 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: the problem is they don't believe they're going to be successful. Right. No, No, absolutely, Well. 365 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: And another point that I made in the article is 366 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: and I actually put this in italics, is notice I 367 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: didn't say pushed, but cooled. If you feel like pushed 368 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: into something, it's not for you. You know, it's not intrinsic. 369 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: It's because there's an external factor. You need to find 370 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: that intrinsic, that internal factor that pulls you towards something, 371 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: and when you feel that, that's when you're really going 372 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: to see success because you're pulled towards it, not pushed 373 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: towards it. I love that, and that's you know. I 374 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: think it was right after I started working with you, Troy, 375 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: and then was getting more serious into the business and 376 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: knew I needed, you know, the education, and I went 377 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: back and did the masters in actually science and sports 378 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: psychology because of everything that Troy's talking about, to figure 379 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: out the psychological side, because we all know what to 380 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: do at the end of the day, you know, move more, 381 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: eat better, all that kind of stuff. But what Troy 382 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: is talking about is is that you know what Troy 383 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: is exactly talking about it. I got an argument Troy 384 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: with one of my professors and I said, I'm here 385 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: to learn how to motivate and he goes, you can't 386 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: motivate people because you can provide incentive. So what Troy 387 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: is talking about is you've got to find it for you, right, 388 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: and coaches, we can help you and guide you and 389 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: things like that. But at the end of the day, 390 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: it's that it's that very simple that you've got to 391 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: get excited about it, and no person can make you 392 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: do it. We can help and provide incentives and guidelines 393 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: and things like that, right Troy. But at the end 394 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: of the day, you've got to you gotta be crazy 395 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: about that thing that you want, right, And that's what 396 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: coaching is all about. Actually, coaching is about getting people 397 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: to really understand their why and to get it from them. 398 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: It's not about placing it upon somebody or telling them 399 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,239 Speaker 1: what to do. It's about getting people to understand what 400 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 1: they truly want to do from the inside out and right. 401 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: You know, we were talking a little bit about how 402 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: to discover your why. That's where having some a coach 403 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: can help you, because a coach can vide you and 404 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: ask the right questions of you help perment your why 405 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: and that passion and what I loved about And this 406 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: really shaped my philosophy towards back when I was helping 407 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: coach people, uh like Troy did for me. By the way, Troy, 408 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: my only coach, Like I never I never could do 409 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: it again. I'm like, now I gotta write books and stuff. 410 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: But like I so wanted to come back to you 411 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: because because I was super successful. And here's the thing 412 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: I it was just Troy back in the day. I 413 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: didn't want too much and didn't need just what I 414 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: so appreciated. Told you this, Troy would say, you know, 415 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: run for forty minutes to There wasn't a heck of 416 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: a lot of specificity. But I didn't need it, and 417 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: most people don't need it. Right. Yes, if you're if 418 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: you're a professional, if you're trying for you know, if 419 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: your goals are lofty and you need more, fine, But 420 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: the amount of success I got from just being told 421 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: swim for this amount of time, run this distance, and 422 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: having that plan every day. The consistency of that got 423 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: me that subtend eventually, right and and but it wasn't 424 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't complicated. It was just consistency, and you gave 425 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: me that. So that's one thing I don't think people realize, Troy, 426 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: about the simplicity of a plan. Yeah. Well, yeah, there's 427 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: no complexity to the fundamentals. It always comes back to 428 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: the fundamentals, whether it's with exercise or even with business. 429 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: Right and my current career, I work with CEOs of 430 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: different business in different industries, aviation, thermal, censors, retail, and 431 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: it's all about the fundamentals. I mean, obviously there are 432 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: specific things in each industry, but attrack to the simplicity 433 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: and the fundamentals and executing on the fundamentals, but also 434 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: the accountability piece. So when I used to send your 435 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: training programs and any athletes, because training programs from any 436 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: coach hopefully there's a relationship there. So there's this accountability 437 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: component where the athlete does the work because they know 438 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: it's going to help the trust the coach. There's this relationship, 439 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: not that they don't want to disappoint the coach, but 440 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: the athlete doesn't want to disappoint themselves either, but the 441 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: coach cares. So there's this accountability factor that's huge in 442 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: any coaching relationship. Yeah, and that's uh, it's so powerful, 443 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: and you care. You don't want to let the coach down. 444 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: You've invested, you know, a couple of dollars and I 445 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: always say invested. You know if that amount scares you, 446 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: that's a good thing, right, That's just the way the 447 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: world works. Invest your money, invest your time, because then 448 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: what comes out of that there are some pretty great things. 449 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: And again it does not have to be complex, as 450 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: as Troy saying, and and and that's exciting. And let's 451 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: go to two. So we're talking about you found your why, 452 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: you're figuring that out, you found your passion, your conviction 453 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: that Troy wrote about in his reason number one and 454 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: then reason number two. This is so important and again simple, 455 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: but not for people poor time management. I mean that's 456 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: huge Troy. Yeah, well, it's a huge factor for everybody. 457 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: We only have twenty four hours in a day, right, 458 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: and some people are highly effective in those twenty four 459 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: hours manage their time effectively, whereas others aren't. It comes 460 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: back to your highest payback activities. You know, how are 461 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: you gonna invest your time? And notice I say invest 462 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: and not spend your time. You want to invest your 463 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: time and things that are going to give you the 464 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: biggest bang for the book. So what you know when 465 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: I fail and I realized this, I by myself distracted. 466 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: You know, I don't that's my time properly. There's a 467 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: study I read where the average dress worker really is 468 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: only productive two hours out of an eight hour day, 469 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: which means there's six hours that they're not very productive. 470 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 1: Just think how much more they get done and how 471 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: much more effective they would be in their role they 472 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: were productives for eight hours, right, So it's all about 473 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: your time management, and the more effect if you get 474 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: it leveraging the time doing the right things, doing the 475 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: things that you need to do, instead of getting distracted 476 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: doing things that maybe aren't key priorities or aren't not 477 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: that important, the more effective and productive you're going to be. 478 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: And I think you'd agree than Troy that one of 479 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: the first places to start with that is to be 480 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: honest about what you're spending your time doing, right and saying, 481 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, so many people tell us, so I'm really busy. 482 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: What are you busy doing? Right? We're all we're all 483 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: busy and a lot of busy work, you know, busy work, 484 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: productive work, and I'm guilty of I mean, that's why 485 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: I wrote the article to be transparent and authentic. I mean, 486 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm you know, we're all human, right, So you can 487 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: be the best time manager consultant in the world. That 488 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: you're probably doing things in your life that when you're 489 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: not managing your time effectively all the time. So how 490 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: often do you pick up your phone and check your 491 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: Facebook post or your Instagram. That's just sucking valuable time 492 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: from what you need to do. So disciplining yourself using 493 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: apps that maybe shut your phone down or track your 494 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: amount of time, or just put your phone away so 495 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: you don't even have that. Yeah, well that's a Troy. 496 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: I mean I looked around the gym the other day 497 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: and if I could have taken or it would have 498 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: taken a picture. I don't bring my phone down with 499 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: me most of the time, right, because most people wasted 500 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: time in the gym. You know, years ago, when you 501 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: and I would go a pre cell phone, maybe out 502 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: of an hour, people did, let's give forty minutes of 503 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: quality time. We'll give them that today. I would love 504 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: to see a study, Toy. It's got to be eighteen 505 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: minutes out of an hour because people are on their phone. So, 506 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: as Troy just said, at the very least leave it 507 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: in your lockers. So do the simple changes, right, being 508 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: honest and then making those simple kind of changes. That's 509 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: going to get the time management under control. Now totally 510 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: makes sense. It's it's pre planning, and it's eliminating temptation. 511 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: And and you know, as you said, leave the phone 512 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: in the in your locker room. That will eliminate the temptation. 513 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: It's similar to don't buy those cookies to have in 514 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: your cat, your your cabinet, so eat them. Don't buy 515 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: the ice cream and put it in your freezer, because 516 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: then you won't be tempted to eat the ice cream 517 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: at night. Yes. Uh. And by the way, I use 518 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: this example all the time, Troy, and we must have 519 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: talked nutrition back in the day, obviously, because you know 520 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: you talk about the three day intakes that people do 521 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: as coaches, as trainers, whatever, um and I say, they're 522 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: the greatest works of fitness fiction ever written, right, because 523 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: you do one of two things, are usually both you 524 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: lie and you eat better? Right. And I remember with you, 525 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: I was like, listen, I had to coach once and 526 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: there was no way I told them that I ate 527 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: the entire box of oreos, right, So we have to 528 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: be honest with ourselves. And I still remember you saying, 529 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: is it crazy what we remember that you used to 530 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: eat like a pint of Ben and Jerry's, Like it 531 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: was hard for you to keep the calories in. So 532 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: guess what I started eating all the time, the pint 533 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: of Ben and Jerry's for years. Oh my gosh, that's funny. Yeah, 534 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: that was when you know, I was training probably four 535 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: hours on average a day, and I couldn't keep the 536 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: weight on. So that point of that plant of New 537 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: York super fudge junk every night. Yes, for me, it 538 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: was fish food and the and the the lid went 539 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: right in the garbage. There was no chance that I 540 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: wasn't finishing that thing that never went back in. And 541 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: here's one other thing, because it's so much about honesty. 542 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: I remember the first time I met you in person, 543 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: and maybe the Spinner rules thing, and then we did 544 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: some Lake Placid camps. But I remember expecting Troy to 545 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: be I wanted him to be five four and a 546 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: hundred thirty pounds because one of my excuses has always 547 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: been a muscular and whatever he wasn't he isn't. He 548 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: told that at the beginning. You're a football guy. So 549 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, there goes another one of my excuses, Like 550 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: he's big and he's still fast. So we gotta be honest. 551 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: We gotta look what we have, right, Troy, and then 552 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: work from there. We all have weaknesses, but that doesn't matter. 553 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: We can all get by those things and through those things. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, 554 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: I mean we all have limitters, whether you know as 555 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: an endorance athlete. Obviously the bigger you are. Um, it's 556 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: a gravity based sport, so the slower you're gonna got 557 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: more yet to fight that gravity. But we can all 558 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: reach our potential, whatever that means to us, and it's 559 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: definition of potential is different for everyone. But to your point, 560 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: you can always improve. And the analogy I use two 561 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: Troy is that, like, I still detest swimming. It's not 562 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: a sport. It's a means to keep from drowning, is 563 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: what I say. And uh, I'm just not good at 564 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,959 Speaker 1: it and I don't enjoy it. And it's you know, 565 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: I've gotten a tiny bit faster, but I just get 566 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: out of the water just less tired. But it doesn't 567 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: matter if I run and bike faster. It makes the 568 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: day harder. But as Troy saying, like we've all got 569 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: those things, so I've made the choice. And that's what 570 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: I love about iron Man. It's why I don't do 571 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: sprints because the swim matters more there. But pick your 572 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: battles and then make up for the weaknesses, right, the 573 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: work comings in other areas of your life. Yeah, yeah, 574 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: that's a great that's a great point. Yeah, work on 575 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: well that that's a philosophy, right, augment your strengths. If 576 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: you were augment strength. I mean, some of your weaknesses 577 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: you can certainly work on and improve a little bit, 578 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: but it's incremental improvement, whereas if you work on your strengths, 579 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: you might take those to a different level and improve 580 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: your overall game. Yeah. I remember on the walls of 581 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: our fitball or football locker room or weight room rather 582 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: it said, you know, work on your weakness till it 583 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: becomes your strength. And I'm like, yeah, no, I'm just 584 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: gonna pick a spot right where I could work on 585 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: two other things and make those my strength that overcome 586 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: the shortcomings there right there you go. Um, so let's 587 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: get I love it. Reason number three. So we talked 588 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: like I gotta find your why people, and you know, 589 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: it takes time and you'll figure it out. And then 590 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: you've got to be honest. And time management. We all 591 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: have twenty four hours in the day, and I'm sure 592 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: Troy would agree. I mean, the clients I had who 593 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: were the busiest and I when I was a personal trainer, 594 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: it was billionaires and they're the busiest people. They make 595 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: the time. Um, so they have great time management. And 596 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: then finally, um, it takes time. It takes patience, So 597 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: talk about the traction element to this. Yeah, so that's 598 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: one of the reasons again that I fail in the past. Um, 599 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: it was because I wasn't patient enough. I didn't give 600 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: things time to marinate, to germinate, to grow. Um. And 601 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: that's it's a tricky thing, right, It's an art to 602 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: figure out when you need to jump ship and when 603 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: you need to just keep on going down that path. 604 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: But I used in the article the example of my 605 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: video series, my Spinnable video series years ago, when I 606 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: was bootstrapping it and you know, created a video and 607 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: never knowing what was going to happen with that video, 608 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: but just hanging in there and reinvesting every dollar I 609 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: made into new video production, really never knowing what the 610 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: future would hold. At the point being I was committed 611 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: to this vision creating a series. I just reinvested and reinvested, 612 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: and eventually I was able to start taking a paycheck 613 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: out of the company. But it took about four years 614 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: to do it. And I look back at that time 615 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: and I think to myself, it would have been really 616 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: easy to just say, Okay, this isn't worth it, I'm done, 617 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: it's not working out, just quit. But that would have 618 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: changed the trajectory directory of my entire life. So my 619 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: lesson there was things are important, give them time to 620 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: actually germinate and take hold and to gain that traction. 621 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: And then once you do, that's when you've heard of 622 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: the hockey stick analogy, Right, You're going flat flat, flat flat, 623 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: Then you hit the curve and the hockey stick and 624 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: you take off. And that's what happens, sometimes not all 625 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: the time, but you have to give that opportunity for 626 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: for that to happen. And if you do, that's when 627 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: great things happen. And let people know, how many official 628 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: videos have you done today? So there was that one? 629 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: And what number are you on now or was the 630 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: last one? Well, the last one in the Spinnable series 631 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: was number fifty point oh so started with one and 632 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: created fifty over the course of whatever twelve years or so. 633 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: But we also branched off into other areas fire so 634 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: total probably about eighty videos and the entire collect eighty videos. 635 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: I mean that's and you think back and you go, 636 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: how again frightening that initial investment was, and as you're saying, 637 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: you had to have to give it time, And like you, 638 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: I remember walking to the post office right and doing 639 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,239 Speaker 1: it by hand and writing the handwritten notes. And but 640 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: I loved it. And I think that goes back to 641 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: your point number one is there was nothing I didn't 642 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: enjoy more and I loved everything about it getting those orders, 643 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: and I knew deep down that this was right. And 644 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: I think that's the that's the strange kind of special 645 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: sauces um for you and I and we knew our why, 646 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: and we kind of knew that we're just gonna keep 647 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: doing this right and good things are gonna happen. Um. 648 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: And then you know, eighty videos later, here you are 649 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: so um. You just gotta have you gotta believe in 650 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: yourself to a huge degree. Um. But that's kind of 651 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: the the tough part, you know, It's true, you have 652 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: to have the vision and the belief system where you're 653 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: willing to stick it out and go that extra mile. 654 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: And I accuse the analogy of doing an iron Man. 655 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: Nobody feels really good at miles fifteen, eighteen, mile twenty, 656 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: but you just have to keep pushing through and eventually 657 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: you'll get to that finish line. And I think the 658 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: endurance athlete mentality is really good for entrepreneurs, you know, 659 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: for people that are starting any business for that matter, 660 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: because it's not easy and there's gonna be times when 661 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: you wonder why are you doing this? But that's what 662 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: we have to go back to your why and yourself. Hey, 663 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: this is my vision, this is what I'm being told towards. 664 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: I'm not giving up. I'm gonna let this play out. 665 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: At some point you might need to, but you'll know, 666 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: believe me, you'll know. But in the meantime, you see 667 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: incremental improvement, you get a little hit from it. Right 668 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: every time you make a sale, for example, where every 669 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: time you see a little bit of success, it builds 670 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: on itself. Please continue down the path and eventually it 671 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: will all work out. And and and what choice talking 672 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,479 Speaker 1: about in the sports psychology is self efficacy. And that's 673 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: why there are no small steps right the the situational confidence. 674 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: When you do these quote unquote small steps, it builds 675 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: on itself, as as choice saying. And that why fat 676 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: diets and crazy workouts they don't work because they work 677 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: short term. But then they think you failed that you're diet. 678 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: You didn't fail your diet. You actually did what the 679 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: diet said. It just that's it was supposed to end 680 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: so there are no small steps, and it's the small 681 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: steps that we're talking about that really help you get 682 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: to that goal, and that that makes it more exciting. 683 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: And as Troy started by saying, when you find your why, 684 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: there are no small steps. It's it's it's the long 685 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: term approach, right, Troy. And that's unfortunately, I think people 686 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: want those huge successes, and especially today, the millennial kind 687 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: of mentality UM in a really short amount of time 688 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. And if it does happen, it's not 689 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: going to be UM in the right way, right and well, 690 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: and you know, the saying is, if you want to 691 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: see somebody who was very successful in overnight success, look 692 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: at what they've been doing for the past five years. 693 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: You know, there's no such thing necessarily as an overnight success. 694 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: They've put in the work, they've paid their dues, and 695 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: they make it look easy. So you just look at 696 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: them and say, gosh, look how was successful they are? 697 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: It looked so easy, but it took a lot of 698 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: work to get to that point, right and again, just 699 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: to go back to it, when you find your why, 700 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: the work is worth it. I had no choice, you know, 701 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: my my family, Troy they're all Wall Street people and everything, 702 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: and I go didn't have the choice. I needed to 703 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: do this fitness thing and I knew that when I 704 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: gave up all that kind and I gave it up, 705 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: I tried it. It's just I was happy, you know, 706 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: And it wasn't about the money. And I trained a 707 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: lot of people who made a lot of money, and 708 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, reinforced that money didn't make you happy. But 709 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: when you find that thing that really motivates you, health, 710 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: wellness and business and again they're all connected, Um, then life, 711 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: That to me, Troy, is what life's about. Like, what 712 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,959 Speaker 1: are we doing if we're not searching out those things 713 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: and and kind of going for them right taking those 714 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,479 Speaker 1: chances right about And so if someone wants to work 715 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: with you now, is Troy Jacobson dot com Is that 716 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: the best place to reach out?

I 721 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: know you're kind of transition, You're not swimming or running 722 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: as much, right is it? Is it more than biking now? Yeah? 723 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: So I got into uh, I guess you could call 724 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: it Endorrance mountain biking a few years ago. So I 725 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: do twenty four hour mountain bike events and I'm doing 726 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,280 Speaker 1: a big one here in Tucson, Arizona coming up in February. 727 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: It's called the twenty four Hours of the Old Peblo. 728 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: It's one most popular and well attended twenty four hour 729 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: events in the country. And this year I signed up 730 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: to the solo single speed division, so that out. So 731 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: I want you all to unders because a lot of 732 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,839 Speaker 1: people go, they have no idea what you're You know 733 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: that sport entails. So this is what I love again 734 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: about someone like Troy, you know, successful athletes, successful entrepreneurs, 735 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: taking that entrepreneur to a whole another level. But the 736 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: fitness side is still there and that's super important. And 737 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: it changes. Right if we continue to do the same thing, 738 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna get hurt and burnt out, So it changes. 739 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: It's a story or a topic for another show, but 740 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 1: explain to people with a mountain bike, solo single speed entails. Yeah. 741 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: So it's a great event. It's a big party on 742 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: a bike for camp out in the middle of the desert. 743 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: It's so much fun. The mountain bike culture is just awesome. 744 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 1: But what you do is the race starts at twelve 745 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: noon and if Leman's style starts, so it's about a 746 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: quarter mile run to your bike, you and about people 747 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: running to your bikes to seventeen mile loop way out 748 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: in the desert. Last single track. UM deal with a 749 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 1: lot of choya, which are the jumping toya cactus cactus 750 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: which are the time just like they get stuck in 751 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: in you actually like a comb to pull them out, 752 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: or flyers. It's they're nasty. But anyway, you try to 753 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: ride continuously or as much as you can and covers 754 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: many laps as you can over twenty hour period. So 755 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: you're out there riding at night and old with the 756 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: coyotes screeching in the background. It's really interesting managing your 757 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: nutritional intake and your fluids and like maintenance issues and 758 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: how you're feeling and how tired to get UM. It's 759 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: a real challenge, but it's very fulfilling and I want 760 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: to leave people with that because again, you don't have 761 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: to do a twenty four hour most of you won't 762 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: and you won't do an iron Man, you won't do 763 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: anything like that. But there's a reason I always say 764 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: that over a hundred thousand people apply for the New 765 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,280 Speaker 1: York City Marathon every year. You know, challenging our bodies. 766 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: You know, that's living the the authentic life. Is there's 767 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: a reason Troy chooses to do this insane stuff. There's 768 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: there's a payoff. It feels good and again that self 769 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 1: efficacy and and what it taught me and I'm sure 770 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: Troy as well, is we can pretty much get through anything. 771 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we could sit here and tell you the 772 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: craziest stories of the races and things we got through, 773 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 1: and those are the best stories, right Troy. I mean 774 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: my sub ten wasn't half as fulfilling because things just 775 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: went perfectly right. I try, I did the work, and 776 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 1: I suffered, but in a different way my iron Man 777 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: in Malaysia, where you know, I was hallucinating and it 778 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: took all day and all night. That's when I talk 779 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: about more, right because and and that's what we need 780 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: people to understand is take the chances, give yourself time, 781 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: as Troy saying, find your why. Reach out to someone 782 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: like Troy who has this wealth of experience that everyone 783 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: needs a coach, everybody. I say that mentally and physically, 784 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: and if you want to be successful, follow the people 785 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: that have done it, and Troy, someone who has done 786 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: it on the athletic stage, on the entrepreneurial stage, and 787 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: now taking all of that to the corporate executive stage. 788 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: And that's part of the path to successes is reach 789 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: out for help and and follow those people and then 790 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: get coached by those people. Right, So I'm gonna have 791 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,359 Speaker 1: to reach out to you again and get the executive side. Now. 792 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: It made me feel really bad about myself again, Troy. 793 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: I need to I need to need to take the 794 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: executive level coaching. We'll get you into that. You know what, 795 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: as long as there's no swimming, Troy, I'm in. I'm 796 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: a hundred in um anything else in the in the 797 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: on the horizon that's getting excited, or just the coaching 798 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: and the and the racing right now, Yeah, just coaching 799 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 1: and racing, putting together my CEO groups here in Tucson, 800 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: which is really fighting, working with a lot of people, 801 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 1: making a big impact on the community. I believe that 802 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: when high performing people um do really well and they're 803 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: well versed in personal development. They tend to support their 804 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: people that work for them or pay them more money 805 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: and lift them up as well. And that supports the community. 806 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: So it's all it all works together to make this 807 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: world a better place. And that's what I feel my 808 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: contribution is all about. And so if you're an executive listening, 809 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: I can't And I've worked with a lot of those 810 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: guys who didn't have that sports kind of background and 811 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: and you know, yes they had achieved that high level 812 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: in business, but there they were kind of lacking what 813 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: Troy can bring. And it's super important. And so I 814 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: encourage anyone listening who is the head of a company, CEO, 815 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: executive it just wants to take that and be a 816 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: better leader. There's no one better than someone like Troy 817 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: who has this unique, unique set of experience of background 818 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: to help you take that business to the next level. 819 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: Of Troy such a pleasure. And uh, if you are 820 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 1: still taking on iron Man guys, maybe when I'm ready 821 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 1: to uh to push myself again and go fast, I'm 822 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna need you again. All right, Tom, Well, thank you 823 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,879 Speaker 1: so much. I really appreciate you having me on. Hey, 824 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: thanks so much for taking the time and we'll speak soon. 825 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 1: Thanks Troy, I have a great day. Uh So, Troy Jacobson. 826 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: So honored and just beyond excited to have had the 827 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to speak with him. I knew how valuable he 828 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: would be as a resource for the show Fitness Disrupted, 829 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 1: you know. And what's amazing to me are that whenever 830 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: you interview, meet talk to someone like Troy Jacobson who 831 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: has achieved so much, it's always incredible. How humble they 832 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,320 Speaker 1: talked about, gratitude, he talked about just thankful, he worked 833 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: his butt off, and you know, he had that twofold 834 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,280 Speaker 1: kind of value to this show, a to talk about 835 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 1: the great topic of three reasons why you're not achieving 836 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: your goals and will hit those one more time. But 837 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,720 Speaker 1: also that he was one of the three mentors without 838 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: really knowing it. Most often a mentor someone you go 839 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 1: back and forth with. I just watched him, And when 840 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: I tell you one final time, how much I copied 841 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: what he did to a t it just exactly. I 842 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: did the videos. I gave it time, I financed it 843 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,879 Speaker 1: with money I barely had. It was so frightening back 844 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 1: in the day, and and the number of people who 845 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,800 Speaker 1: told me it was a dumb thing to do, and 846 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,240 Speaker 1: I believed in it. I gave it time, I worked 847 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: really hard, and all of the points he brought up, 848 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: we're involved in that. So let's go over that one 849 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 1: final time. Number one lack of passion and conviction. I 850 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: was so passionate and m to this day about what 851 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,760 Speaker 1: I do. I love what I do, and back when 852 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: I had absolutely no money for a really long time, Uh, 853 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: it didn't matter. I was investing in my passion and 854 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: I knew that it was the right thing to do, 855 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: even when everyone or or a lot of people around 856 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,240 Speaker 1: me were saying it wasn't the right thing. You're stupid, 857 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: Who are you? Why are you coming out of the 858 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: fitness video? Everyone has a fitness video? Who are you 859 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: to do a fitness video? But I believed in it, 860 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,879 Speaker 1: and I invested in it, and I gave a time 861 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: and I hustled. I had so much passion about it, 862 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: you weren't going to tell me no. I was gonna 863 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,800 Speaker 1: do it my way. And that was the thing too 864 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: that will come up over and over. I got no 865 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: from a lot of people, and when I got no, 866 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, I'm gonna do it myself. You know, 867 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: couldn't get a video deal, and it's not how you 868 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 1: do it, really some people do. It's totally different today 869 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: with YouTube and things like that. But I got the 870 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: distribution deal after so the videos that people told me 871 00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: I shouldn't do, we're not only picked up national for distribution, 872 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 1: they were dubbed into French and I got an international 873 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: distribution deal. Pretty funny, pretty amazing. So Troy Jacobson was 874 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: on the show for those two reasons, to really powerful reasons, 875 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: to talk about ways to go about achieving your goals, 876 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 1: and then to serve as an example of someone I 877 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 1: looked up to and how you should find if you 878 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: don't have it now someone who has what you want 879 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 1: and do what they did to get there. Imitation is 880 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: the sincerest form flattery, right, and there is room at 881 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: the top for everyone who is good. I always say, 882 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,399 Speaker 1: fitness whatever, We're all different. It is not a zero 883 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: sum game, as so many people believe. Copy what I do. 884 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 1: If that's what you want, awesome to compliment, doesn't take 885 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: away from what I do. It's a compliment to what 886 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 1: I do. And so one final time, let's go over 887 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 1: the three reasons Troy talked about that you may not 888 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: be achieving your goals. And that first one we just 889 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: talked about. You need passion and conviction, find out what 890 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,439 Speaker 1: you just love and go for it. And I know 891 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: it's all over. I mean, there's so many coaches, and 892 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: that's why I brought you Troy, because he did it. 893 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just the coaches who haven't achieved pretty 894 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: much anything other than coaching people. I have a small 895 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: problem with, Hey, if that works for you, awesome, But 896 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 1: by and large, get coached by someone who accomplished what 897 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: they're coaching you to do. And Troy Jacobson is exactly that, 898 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: an athletes and entrepreneur and now taking all of that 899 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: those decades of experience to executive coaching awesome and what 900 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: I love are the second and third reasons. They're both 901 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,840 Speaker 1: about time. You know, number one reason people get for 902 00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,880 Speaker 1: not exercising lack of time. Not true. So the second 903 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: reason poor time management. It is an insult. Let's let's 904 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: get to that tough love. This is fitness disrupted. It's 905 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: an insult to actually say to people, you know, you 906 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: don't do something because you're busy, especially exercise, because what 907 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 1: you're ideally or in effect saying to that person is 908 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: I'm busier than you are, so it's kind of insulting. 909 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: It really is. We're all busy. It's time management. That's 910 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: the tough love we need to get out there. You 911 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 1: have time to exercise. You don't need a lot of 912 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 1: time to exercise. You don't need to go to the gym. 913 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: If you don't know what I'm talking about, listening to 914 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: that show Time and Exercise. Okay, listen to that show. 915 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: Poor time management. I love what Troy said about workers 916 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,720 Speaker 1: and how in an eight hour day they found people 917 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 1: are generally effective efficient working two of those eight I 918 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 1: get up pretty early in the morning, depending on what's 919 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 1: early to you. I get so much done before eight 920 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 1: nine o'clock. Those are the best hours for me. There's 921 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,320 Speaker 1: very little that gets in your way early in the morning. 922 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: So poor time management. We all have time and take 923 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: that passion. If you have a job you're doing now 924 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,359 Speaker 1: you're not crazy about in your extra time is when 925 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:11,799 Speaker 1: you work on it. That's when I was working on 926 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,720 Speaker 1: my books. That's when, you know, as a personal trainer, 927 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,759 Speaker 1: busting my butt to make money. And then outside of 928 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: those hours, I was studying, I was going to school, 929 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:23,360 Speaker 1: I was doing iron Man triathlons filled my time. Okay, 930 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 1: poor time management. So look at that. And then finally, 931 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: it takes time. And I'll go back to that great 932 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:37,800 Speaker 1: comment about the show or someone called me captain obvious. Yeah. Yeah, 933 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 1: the answers are straightforward. It's the application that's difficult. I 934 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: will say that over and over and over again, because 935 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: there are no secrets, move more, take in less, do 936 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: things you love, be passionate about what you do, be 937 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: honest about what you do, and achieve your goals. All right, 938 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: Reason number three, it takes time and patience. I love 939 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: that he used the hockey stick analogy metaphor, and I 940 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 1: would say, you gotta flip that hockey stick on its 941 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 1: side though. So it's the long the the the longer 942 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: part of the hockey stick that's the time it takes. 943 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,840 Speaker 1: It's not the blade. It's not the shorter end of 944 00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: the stick that's the work time. It's the long part. 945 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,919 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden boom. You know, I'm 946 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 1: fifty and I'm just starting to hit my stride. But 947 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 1: I've loved the journey. I've loved the journey. It was 948 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 1: never about money. It was about doing what I loved. 949 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 1: Money doesn't doesn't do it for me. Obviously, you want 950 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,399 Speaker 1: it and it's nice and you need to have enough 951 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: of it to do what you need to do. But 952 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,759 Speaker 1: it's about being passionate about what you do, all right, 953 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 1: So three great things to look at and be honest, 954 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 1: Are you passionate about what you do? Are you using 955 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 1: your time effectively? And then are you giving it time 956 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,399 Speaker 1: to have traction? And as he said that that number 957 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: three is one of the most difficult ones because you 958 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: have to know when to pivot. That's the art. Number 959 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: three is everything. Most people fall short of one and two. 960 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: But if you've got one and two under, if you've 961 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 1: got your passionate and you're you're working hard. But then 962 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,280 Speaker 1: you have to know because it is never a straight line. 963 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: That is the crazy thing about going for your goals, 964 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 1: because you have to know when it's time to pivot, 965 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 1: to to take a different tack, to go a different way. 966 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 1: You're still going to that goal, but you have to 967 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: know when the plan you laid out needs some adjusting. 968 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 1: And that's a whole another show. But there you go. 969 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: Troy Jacobson, awesome. Use this as motivation to go get 970 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: what you want, and that could be simple stuff. You 971 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 1: could be fitness related, family business, but just know that 972 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,800 Speaker 1: we have one life and let's enjoy it. Let's do 973 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,320 Speaker 1: what you want to do, don't look back with regret, 974 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,359 Speaker 1: and use all of these tools to help you get 975 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: what you want, because that's what that's what this show 976 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 1: is about. All right, awesome, So excited to have interviewed 977 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,319 Speaker 1: Troy after all these years.
