Speaker 1: This is The EDS with Eddie Judge and Edwin aro Jave.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Ed's podcasts.

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: I'm Eddie and I am Edwin.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Today's episode is about the New Year, twenty twenty five,

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: but before we get into it, we want to really

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: acknowledge the devastating fires that are happening in La right

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: now and really thank the first responders of firefighters and

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: everybody who's out there really trying to save as much

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: as they can and do as much as they can. Also,

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: I want to give a big shout out to everyone

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: who's really helping out by bringing water and support and

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, socks and underwear for all the people that

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: have lost everything. It's really devastating. You're in La, Edwin, Yeah,

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: how is it going for you?

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: So the main house that we have, luckily we didn't

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: have to deal with that. There's another how that we

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: have in Hollywood Hills that we had to evacuate from,

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: and that even though we rent that house now, it

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 2: was still tough. But like at the end of the day,

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: we didn't really have any belongings there. When there was

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: a part there where it looked like it was going

22
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: to get close to our main house, and I mean,

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: I can only imagine what people what they went through,

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: because just the thought of losing everything in a matter

25
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: of minutes is really heartbreaking. You know, the other day

26
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: I was going through just like pictures of my last

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: sixteen years, and I was like, I want to keep

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: this somewhere, right, like, these are awesome memories. And I

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: can only imagine like me feeling that way now about

30
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: you know, these pictures that I've had for sixteen years.

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: I can only imagine people that you know, are you know,

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: thirty forty years and out of nowhere it comes right yeah,

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: where they can't even see it coming. It's just all

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: of a sudden, they pick up your bags and they

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: got to go, and they got to leave everything behind.

36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the thought of that is just devastating. And

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: but yeah, shout out to you know, the first responders

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: and all the work they've been putting in and just

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: seeing the city come together has been great.

40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I've never seen anything like it.

41
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: It looks like an apocalypse movie and it's it's very real,

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: and it gets really real once you know, it comes

43
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: close to you as well, you know, when it really

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: gets close to you, that's when you're like, whoa this is?

45
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 2: This is nuts?

46
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: And are you close enough that you can smell the smoke?

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah?

48
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Oh wow? Okay, all right, Oh deary man, Well I'm

49
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: glad you're okay.

50
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: I think no matter where you're at in LA, I mean,

51
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: especially if you're pretty close to the west side, there's

52
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: just no denying it. You're gonna you're gonna see it

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: and you're gonna smell it.

54
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very sad to see that happening. I know,

55
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: we in Orange County had our share of fires last

56
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: year and it didn't get too close, but close enough

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: that you could see it and smell it. And that's

58
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: scary in and of itself to think that a fire

59
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: can come in and take everything and turn your life

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: upside down. Really, so we wish those folks the best.

61
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: And you know, LA and Orange County, I think we

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: all come together and San Diego, everybody in California is

63
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: coming together to help any way we can to help people,

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, get through this devastating moment. So one unders Okay,

65
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: let's switch gears now, let's try to anyways, let's talk

66
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: about twenty twenty five the New Year resolutions. Resolutions what's

67
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: your thoughts on resolutions? Do you do annual resolutions? Do

68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: you subscribe to that or do you think it's just

69
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: the end of the day.

70
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I've always had goal goals, right, So I've

71
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: always I've always been big on goals. You know, what

72
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: am I trying to accomplish this year? What am I doing?

73
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: I mean resolutions? I mean I like calling them goals, right.

74
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: I think resolutions sort of have this stigma to them

75
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: that it's just everybody says they're going to do something,

76
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: and then two weeks into it, they don't.

77
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: You know.

78
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: One of the one of the things I hate the

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: most about New Year's is how packed the gyms are

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: and how packed the fitness classes that I go to are.

81
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: And it's like I got to deal with it for

82
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: at least a month, but then I know, once February

83
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: comes back, it's like, you know, half the people are gone.

84
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: But it's always interesting to me how you know the

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: first two weeks are always packed. I mean you can't.

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you got to get there early, you got

87
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: to sign up like two days before, and sure enough,

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: a month later, it's it's back to normal, you know,

89
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: And it's it's it just goes back to like, it's

90
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: not that hard to be successful if you're just consistent, right, Like,

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: I think consistency will transansform average into excellence. But most

92
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: people have problems with consistency. Most people have a problem

93
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: with like repetition, you know. But I think, I think

94
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: if you're just consistent and you stick to it, and

95
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: consistency is not always about being perfect. It's just about

96
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: progression as long as you're getting a little better and

97
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: you're consistent with getting better. As you know, Eddie, just

98
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: from all your background, you get really good at things

99
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 2: if you can, you know, do it for three months,

100
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: do it for six months, do it for a year.

101
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people can do things

102
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: for maybe a week, some people can do it for

103
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: a month, some people can do it for three months.

104
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: And but really it's can you do it for a year?

105
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: Can you do it for two and three? And compound

106
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 2: that consistency and then again it'll transform average into excellence.

107
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: Y My take on Year's resolutions is that it's sort

108
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: of a way to set up society to fail, meaning

109
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: it gives people the excuse to start over every year.

110
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: And then my experience with my life and you know,

111
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: everything I've accomplished and everything I've observed as success is

112
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: that starting over is hard and it sets you back.

113
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: But if you keep going and keep that consistency, like

114
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: you said, and just consider January first another day, you're

115
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: more likely to reach your goal because it takes years.

116
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Specifically in business, I don't know any successful company that

117
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: has been like top of mind, top of like Apple, Google, Nvidia,

118
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: you know, Amazon. It took them ten plus years to

119
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: be what they are. So to think that, oh, I'm

120
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: just gonna make quick rich money, you know, in one year,

121
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to set a goal this year, I'm going

122
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: to make a million dollars. Well, how much are you

123
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: making now? Is it nine hundred and ninety nine thousand

124
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: dollars or is it one hundred thousand? And how the

125
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: hell are you going to go from one hundred thousand

126
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: to a million dollars. It's sort of setting you up

127
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: for failure, right right, So I don't I don't subscribe

128
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,559
Speaker 1: to New Year's resolutions. It might be a good time

129
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: for us, you know, for us to just check in

130
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: on our on our goals and our achievements, but to

131
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 1: set new goals could be very distracting to set you know, new,

132
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: to engage in new desires when you haven't accomplished your

133
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: past goals or your resolutions you've had last year, or

134
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: the year before or five years ago. It really that's

135
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: why I say, it kind of sets you up for failure.

136
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: There's so many people in the world that I've met,

137
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, that say I'll start tomorrow, I'll start Monday,

138
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: or you know what, I'll start my goal in January,

139
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: first of such and such year, right, and it inevitably

140
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: it always ends up failing because, like you said, the

141
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: first two weeks of the year, everybody's at the gym.

142
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: Through week three, what happened to everybody? Week four, it's

143
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: back to being empty, and you still have eleven more months.

144
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: And you know it's interesting, Eddie, Like it's funny. For me,

145
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: New Year's has always been fourth quarter. My New Year's

146
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: I've always looked at. It starts in October. The reason

147
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: why I make the last quarter of the years so

148
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: important to me is because I often say that you

149
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: could only receive what your mind can accept. Right. If

150
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: your mind can't accept something, it's never going to get it.

151
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: So what are you doing that makes you think that

152
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: you can get better. So for me, in four order,

153
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: that's when most people are sort of packing it in

154
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: and they start to sort of get lazy and they

155
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: stop working and they not wanting to and they stop

156
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: wanting to do they stop doing all the things that

157
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: you know, they worked hard for in the first you know,

158
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: eight months, nine months, right, So if you can do

159
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: well in the last quarter, stay disciplined in the last quarter,

160
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: then what will happen is you'll start off the year

161
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: with full momentum and by the time people are barely

162
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 2: you know, recovering from the last three months where they've

163
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: basically just chilled for three months, right, especially sales people, right,

164
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: real estate people, alarm sells people, like most of those industries,

165
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: like they start hanging it up in the fourth quarter.

166
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeh.

167
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: And I've always been about like, no, this is when

168
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to freaking slam on the gas. And now

169
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: I start succeeding at things that most people can't succeed at,

170
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: and then it gets my mind to accept, wait, I

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: do deserve more because I'm doing things that most people

172
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: aren't doing.

173
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Right.

174
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: So the whole idea is, you know, yeah, New Year's

175
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: has loosen everybody's doing it right. It's like, no start

176
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: before starting the fourth quarter, build momentum, and then once

177
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: the new year comes, you're just flying, you know. And

178
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: so I've always been very intentional about starting in the

179
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and then, like the other thing that I

180
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: would say about, you know, goals is obviously you want

181
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: big goals, you want big, god sized dreams, you want

182
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: a dream big. But what most people don't tell you is,

183
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: you know, when you go after big dreams, big goals,

184
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: a lot of times you'll get discouraged because they seem

185
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: so far away.

186
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: Right.

187
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: So the idea is, yes, have big dreams, have big goals,

188
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: but I like to put targets for those goals. So

189
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: I want to hit targets that eventually will make me

190
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: hit those goals. You know. An example for me, when

191
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: I was fifteen years old, I gave myself a goal

192
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 2: that by twenty one years old, I was going to

193
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 2: make one hundred and fifty grand, right, one hundred grand. Actually,

194
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: I also envisioned myself living the life I live today.

195
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: I envisioned that at fifteen years old. Now did I

196
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: believe it, Heck no, but I knew it was going

197
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: to happen. Somehow, some way. And that's why I often

198
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: say that we all have this unlimited potential, but it

199
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: is limited to where you're at today. So because of that,

200
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: you have to put targets that will help you get

201
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: to your major goal, because every target you accomplish will

202
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: now unlock a new level of belief. See, I'm a

203
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 2: firm believer that in life, it's all about belief. Right,

204
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: you have to have conviction, you have to believe that

205
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: it could happen, but you have to take steps, and

206
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: every step that you accomplish will now unlock a new

207
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: level of belief. So again, when I was fifteen years old,

208
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: I said, Okay, I'm going to make one hundred grand

209
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: by the age of twenty one years old. So I

210
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: said to myself, well, I guess I got to become

211
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 2: the manager of this place by eighteen. That way I

212
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 2: can start making at least sixty grand. And instead of

213
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: focusing on all the reasons why I couldn't, I was

214
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: just like, I don't know how I'm gonna do it,

215
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna figure it out. I'll control the two

216
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: things that I can control, which is my activity and

217
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: my attitude in some way, somehow, I'm gonna make one

218
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: hundred grand by the time I'm twenty one, and then

219
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: sure enough at eighteen years At sixteen years old, I

220
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: became the supervisor, started making like thirty grand a year.

221
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: By the time I was eighteen, I became the manager.

222
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: Now I started making like sixty grand a year. But

223
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: every step unlocked a new level of belief. And then

224
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: sure enough, at twenty one years old, I made one

225
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty grand and I was like whoa, And

226
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: then that unlocked a new level of belief, and then

227
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: every step you keep rising unlocks a new level of belief.

228
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: But if I would have been like, man, I want

229
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: to live like the life I live today, if I

230
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't have gone through those steps, I would have never

231
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: got there because I just would have got discouraged. So again,

232
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: we all have this unlimited potential, but it is limited

233
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: to where you're at today, and each new accomplishment that

234
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: you try to get is always going to come with

235
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: it set of fears. That's why your trust has to

236
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: be bigger than your fear. You're always going to be

237
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: scared when you're going after something big, and that's where

238
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: you have to be courageous. You can't have courage without fear.

239
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: And for me, that's always been very important to me

240
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: is breaking down getting a goal, breaking it down to

241
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: the ridiculous. And the reason you want to break it

242
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: down to the ridiculous, which is are the targets, is

243
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 2: because that makes it realistic and that makes it attainable.

244
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: Because what causes you to take action towards something is

245
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: your ability to think you can get a result. If

246
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: you don't think you can get a result, you'll never

247
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 2: do it. But that's why breaking it down to the

248
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: ridiculous will make you think that you could make it happen,

249
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: and every target unlocks a new level believe. So that's

250
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: that's what I've always done about goals. I'd love to

251
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 2: hear what you do ready as well, because you've always

252
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: been very gold driven, very disciplined, and obviously I think

253
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: you've made a lot of New Year's resolutions happen.

254
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: I do no, I do recall. You know, when I

255
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: first got introduced to making resolutions as an exciting thing

256
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: to do. You know, everybody's doing it, everybody's setting new

257
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: goals on January first, I am going to do this,

258
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: And there was a time period where January first was

259
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: a fresh start. And I am not opposed to fresh

260
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: starts and starting over and doing new things, especially doing

261
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: new things that's exciting, right, But there was a time

262
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: period where I'm like, I don't need another resolution when

263
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: I haven't accomplished my last three years of resolutions, right,

264
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: And it really taught me like, Okay, it's good to

265
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: set these goals and have a time stamp of January first,

266
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: kind of like a fresh start. I get that concept,

267
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: but knowing that, you know, life and success is a

268
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: game of endurance. Not a lot of people can handle endurance.

269
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: A perfect example would be like a sprinter versus a

270
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: marathon runner. Right. The marathon runner is gonna certainly achieve more,

271
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: have more time spent into it because they will take

272
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: their time getting to the goal, versus a sprinter. The

273
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: sprinter wants to get it done now and quickly and

274
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: not work, you know, twelve months to get to the goal.

275
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: So the point of resolutions has been, you know, can

276
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: you set realistic goals and can you keep that momentum going?

277
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: Because it applies to everything, not just business, I mean

278
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: it applies to relationships. And it definitely stood out for

279
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: me in the fitness business. When I had the gym,

280
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's excited. Everybody comes to the gym and

281
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: starts working out, and we have some great success for

282
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: the first three four months of the year. And I

283
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: made it a goal of mine to keep people engaged

284
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: throughout the entire twelve months, not just the first three months,

285
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, not just the summer bod. Let's work on

286
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: your summer bod. You know, well, what happens after your

287
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: summer bod. You just let it go right, and if

288
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: you do, you're essentially starting over. And to add to

289
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: your point about the fourth quarter in October, I think

290
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: if you can do exactly what you're talking about, staying focused,

291
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: having the faith, and moving through all the noise and

292
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: distractions that the last quarter had, I think it's the

293
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: hardest time of the year to be accomplishing anything because

294
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: a everybody tends to make it look like the world

295
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: kind of slows down. People are taking more time off,

296
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: there's more parties. We got to celebrate life, and that's

297
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: where the problem happens. To start October thirty first, with

298
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: all the sugar, all the candy, all the distractions. And

299
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying that Halloween is not fun.

300
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: It is fun, but it's also a good excuse to

301
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: just eat like shit and drink like you know, to

302
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: to no end and just start hurting your health. Come Thanksgiving,

303
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite holidays, as you know,

304
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: and it used to be I could eat all kinds

305
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: of food on Thanksgiving and it's so much fun. It's

306
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: it's in you're with family and everything is happening, and

307
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: how could you not look forward to that?

308
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: Right?

309
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: And then there's December and we got Christmas and.

310
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: All parties that party.

311
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: So I used to tell all my clients like, if

312
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: you can really put the pedal to the metal on

313
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: the last three months of the year, you're going to

314
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: be successful. In fact, I used to hold a lot

315
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: of challenges at the last quarter of the year, and

316
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: I even went as far one year, which I lost

317
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: my ass on, but I was happy. I said, for

318
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: all you guys who can work out thirty days in

319
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: the thirty one days of December, I will waive your

320
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: membership for the next you know, for the next month.

321
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: And a lot of people were motivated. It's amazing how

322
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: people are motivated by your little one hundred and twenty

323
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: dollars one hundred and forty dollars a month membership, and

324
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: it motivated everybody not to you know, ruin their health

325
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: journey and their fitness journey. And at the end of

326
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: the day, I ended up, you know, with very low

327
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: revenue on January, you know, first because there were so

328
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: many successful customers or clients that that achieve that. But

329
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: I truly believe that that is the heart. That's where

330
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: people really gain the most weight, where people lose the

331
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: most traction on their goals, and certainly where people get

332
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: the most distracted. You know, there's there's holidays leading up

333
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: to that, but the fourth quarter is the game changer. Like,

334
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: like you said, I agree with you one hundred percent, and.

335
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: That's why I think they call it separation season, right,

336
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: That's where you get to separate yourself from everybody else.

337
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: And again, more importantly, it gets your mind to accept

338
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 2: that you do deserve more because you're different. Right, Like

339
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: when you get to go to the gym and now

340
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: instead of or a fitness class, there used to be

341
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 2: forty people there and now there's ten. You're like, okay,

342
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: I'm a little different, you know, and I think you know,

343
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, what I've seen from

344
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: just average and elite people. Is elite people can get

345
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: things done even when they don't feel like it. They

346
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: don't work off how they feel, They work off their discipline.

347
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 2: And you know, during the fourth quarter, like you mentioned,

348
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: there's a lot of distractions, right, but if you can

349
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: still get things done while those distractions are happening, or

350
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: while there's a lot of chaos, that's what separates average

351
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: from elite, right, because anyone can do thing things when

352
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: your life is great and when things are going well

353
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: and when you have no distractions, Like, yeah, you're supposed

354
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: to do well, right, but it's can you do well

355
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: when there's a bunch of distractions? Can you do well

356
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: when there's a bunch of chaos around you, when you're

357
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: when your life is falling apart? Can you still get

358
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 2: things done right?

359
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: Right?

360
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: That is that's the definition of grit, right you figure

361
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: out how to resolve during chaos, right. Fortitude, resiliency. You know,

362
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: my favorite three skill sets are fortitude, grit, and resiliency.

363
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,479
Speaker 2: And those things can't be caught taught. They can't. They

364
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: can't be taught. You have to You're not born with them.

365
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: You have to experience them. And the only way you

366
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: experience them is by continuing to push forward against all

367
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: the resistance. And you know that's why in life, I

368
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: don't think you want it to be easy. You want

369
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: it to be hard because if things aren't hard, you

370
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: know we were talking about pain earlier, right, if things

371
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: aren't hard, you'll never build the muscles that you need

372
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: to sustain success for a long time. Because what's gonna

373
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: happen is life's going to punch you in the face.

374
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: It's inevitable. Life and pain are inseparable. And when life

375
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: punches you in the face, if you don't, if you

376
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: haven't built that muscle of being able to take that punch,

377
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: you'll get knocked out. But that's why when you're but

378
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: the only way to build that muscle is through those

379
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: tough times. So if you can embrace you know, this

380
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 2: year as you're going through the pain of going through

381
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: that goal, and instead of quitting when the pain comes,

382
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: because if you quit, you never get to build the muscle.

383
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 2: But if you just continue to push forward, focusing on

384
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: the things that you can control, you'll start to build

385
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: that endurance. You'll start to build that grit, that resiliency,

386
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: that fortitude, and the reason they are my three favorite

387
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: skill sets to have because no one could ever take

388
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: them away from you. Like, no matter what you do,

389
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: you'll kick apps because when life punches you, you'll spring

390
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: back up and you'll continue to push forward. Right, Whereas

391
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: most people, because we all get knocked down, right, we

392
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 2: all be knocked down. Yeah, the difference is how fast

393
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: do you get back up? You know? And most people, unfortunately,

394
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: they stay on the floor for like freaking months, whereas

395
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: you know, the people that do pretty well for themselves,

396
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: they spring back up and they're like, yep, I got

397
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 2: knocked down, I'm springing back up and I'm pushing forward.

398
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think another way of putting that is, you know,

399
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: it's easy to experience the good times in life, you know,

400
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: and even the good times in life don't have longevity

401
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: because they get boring. Right. It's like driving the same

402
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: car for ten years. Well, I had a heart on

403
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: when I bought my Ferrari, but ten years later, I'm

404
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: want a different one. Three years later, I want a

405
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: different one. Right. So to build resilience, unfortunately, you're going

406
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: to have to go through some pain. You're going to

407
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: have to go through some discomfort and you're going to

408
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: have to experience it. Nobody can teach you. You cannot

409
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: read it in a book, and you cannot learn it

410
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: from somebody else going through the pain. In order for

411
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: someone to really understand resilience, they have to go through it.

412
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, sometimes life just throws it at you. Right,

413
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: people like you and I tend to go out looking

414
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: for it. You know, we want the challenging, we want

415
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: the obstacles, but it's the people that you know are

416
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: through are just for lack of better examples, a car accident,

417
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, you cannot see that coming, and shit like

418
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: that happens. So or even this fire us happened in La.

419
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought that it was going to

420
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: flatten out the whole city of Palisades, Right, you would

421
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: never have thought that. But now that you are going

422
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: through it, this is going to have to be your experience.

423
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: If you haven't already experienced resilience. This is where you

424
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: learn how resilience works and what you can do to

425
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: get through it.

426
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: And then it allows you to be more. You know,

427
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: when the next problem comes, it's as big as more

428
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: because you've gone through so many. Right, so someone it

429
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: might be a big problem. But because you've already gone

430
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 2: through a lot of tough times in your life, the

431
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 2: next problem that comes isn't that big anymore, and you

432
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: get a bunch of those you continue to, you know,

433
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: build that muscle. The other cool thing that happens when

434
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: you kind of are going through a tough situation is

435
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: you're also building a story that you when you overcome

436
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: and you do well for yourself again, it now creates

437
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: a loyal following because people want to follow somebody that's

438
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: got a great story of overcoming and obviously the only

439
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: way to do that is through go through through pains.

440
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: It's kind of like you have to embrace the suck,

441
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: you know. And whenever you have goals, those goals are

442
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: going to come with problems. That New Year's resolution, whatever

443
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: we want to call it, is going to come with

444
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: a bunch of problems and challenges, and you know your

445
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: job is to solve those challenges and when you do,

446
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: you're going to get that new level of belief and

447
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: then it's okay, what's the next purpose, what's the next goal?

448
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: And every time you do, you start adding to that belief.

449
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: And it really just comes down to if you're able

450
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 2: to again, I've been talking a lot about a belief.

451
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 2: Belief is confidence. Confidence comes from keeping the promises that

452
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: you make to yourself, which is you got to be

453
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: about truth. And most people when they think about truth

454
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: and integrity, they're thinking about keeping the promises that they

455
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 2: make to other people. Well, that should be a given right.

456
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 2: Where most people mess up is they don't keep the

457
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: promises that they make to themselves. And the problem and

458
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: the reason they do the reason they don't keep the

459
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: promises they make to themselves is they think no one

460
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 2: is looking. But there is someone looking, which is your

461
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: subconscious mind. And every time you don't keep a promise

462
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: to yourself, your subconscious mind keeps saying, Yep, you did

463
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: it again. You never keep your word. Oh, you said

464
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: you were going to go to the gym all year, Yep,

465
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: you lasted three weeks this time, check jack. And then

466
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 2: that's where you start losing the belief. You start losing

467
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: the confidence because your subconscious mind doesn't believe you anymore.

468
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: Sub Consciously, you'll say, I'm going to be the top

469
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: sales guy at this company. But the problem is your

470
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: subconscious mind says, nap, I don't believe you. And the

471
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: reason I don't believe is because I got a history

472
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: of you never coming through on your promises. So, because

473
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: your subconscious mind doesn't want to see you get hurt,

474
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: it will literally self sabotage yourself to come back down

475
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: to what it really thinks you're worth. So it'll start

476
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: making excuses for you to start quitting. Even though everything's

477
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 2: going great. You're on your way to making your goal.

478
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: But because you have this history of never keeping the

479
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 2: promises you make to yourself, you will begin to self

480
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: sabotage yourself to come back down to what you really

481
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: think you're worth. See, your subconscious mind is always going

482
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: to prove itself correct.

483
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: So do you think the people that can't commit to

484
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: their commitments, you know, because their subconscious is telling them

485
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. Do you believe that's because of

486
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: the people that are experiencing that never experience real challenges.

487
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: You know, it's always been and Dad get me out

488
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: of it, or Dad will just pay somebody and fix

489
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: my problems, or for that matter, our government will fix

490
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: this and I don't have to do anything.

491
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: Right.

492
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: Are those the people that have that subconscious that makes

493
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: them insecure and unresilient? If you will.

494
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: I think it's the lack of awareness, because you can't

495
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: change something you're not aware of what happens when you

496
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 2: stop keeping the promises you make to yourself. You don't

497
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: even realize you're doing it anymore. It just becomes a habit,

498
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: like you don't even again, you don't even realize you're

499
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: doing it. It's just part of your lifestyle. So really

500
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: the question is, well, how do I start building my

501
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 2: confidence right? How do I start truly to believe in myself?

502
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: And it really just comes down to, no matter how big,

503
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: no matter how small, you keep the promise that you

504
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 2: make to some to yourself, you know, and then every

505
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: little win starts building that belief level. And again we

506
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: talked about it earlier, Eddie, it's consistency is not about perfection.

507
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: It's just about progression. And as long as you're getting

508
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: a little better, like that's all you, that's all that matters.

509
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: But eventually you can stay consistent for a long time.

510
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: Now you start making some leaps, But it's all about consistency.

511
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: Most people can't deal with consistency. And the other beautiful

512
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: thing about consistency, consistency is what establishes a habit, and

513
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: what happens is you're not always going to be motivated.

514
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: You're not always going to be inspired, right Like, we

515
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: don't always like I've never always inspired and motivated. But

516
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: my habits will get me through those days where I

517
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: don't feel like going to the gym or I don't

518
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: feel like going to work. I've made it such a

519
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: habit that even though I don't feel like it, I

520
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: still get it done. And it's why consistency is so important.

521
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: So tell me a little bit about your experience, since

522
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: you have plenty of with salespeople. You know, you have

523
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: your salespeople that are just go getters, have experienced hardship

524
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: in life, and I think on the surface, we all

525
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: know that the person that has suffered the most pain

526
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: usually is the most motivated, versus a person you know

527
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: that grew up with the silver spoon in their mouth

528
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: and you know they just don't know what to do

529
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: with their life. So they come to you and you

530
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: give them an opportunity, and then they're like, eh, not

531
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: for me. What is the differentiating factor when you have

532
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: those two polar opposite people that you're training, and how

533
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: do you guide them so that they're both successful if

534
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: that is possible.

535
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: I think, to me, what I've seen the biggest is

536
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: just the some people are consistent and some people aren't.

537
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: And I've seen people from that are successful that already

538
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: have you know, rich parents become very successful as well.

539
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: And I obviously i've seen the opposite, right, and I've

540
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: seen people that come from nothing make it. But what

541
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: they all sort of have in common is just this

542
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 2: commitment to consistency. They do the commitment to repetition.

543
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: Right.

544
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: They like to do all the boring stuff that no

545
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: one else wants to do, like the gym. Like the gym,

546
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: it's I mean, the life is like that, right, Like

547
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: they show up just winning in life. It's just showing

548
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: up every day. Like I think back to myself when

549
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: I was fifteen years old. I was shy, I was timid,

550
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: but I got obsessed with repetition. I started I wanted

551
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: to do all the boring shit that no one else

552
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: wanted to do. Part of that was just showing up

553
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: every day. I showed up six days a week. People

554
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: that were way more talented than me only showed up

555
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: four days out of the week. I showed up to

556
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: every leadership development class they had the people that were

557
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: way more talented than me never showed up to those

558
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: classes because they weren't mandatory. I got obsessed with role playing.

559
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 2: I went to the top guy in the entire company

560
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: and I said, hey, can you record your presentation for me?

561
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: And then I wrote that thing word for word and

562
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: I must have said it a thousand times, and I

563
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: started to feed up. I started to copy his tonality,

564
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: the way he spoke, I started walk like him. I

565
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: basically just mimicked everything he did. But then I sort

566
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: of got to rob his confidence from him because I'm like, well,

567
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: he is the top guy in the company. I'm doing

568
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 2: it just like he's doing it. I must be pretty

569
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: good and happen is once I started getting the results,

570
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: I started to believe it right, because you don't believe

571
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: something in your heart until you experience it. Right. When

572
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: you have that conviction, it's because in some way, somehow

573
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: you've experienced it. And that's really when I started to

574
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: really believe, like, wait a minute, I could really do this.

575
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: But I was doing again all the boring stuff that

576
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: really no one wanted to do. And I think, as you,

577
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to be successful, if you

578
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: want to make sick. Whatever you define success is right.

579
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: You know you want to make six figures a year,

580
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: seven figures a year, It's actually not that hard. Number

581
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: one is first rule is you have to find an

582
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: opportunity that allows you to be successful, that allows you

583
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: to make that kind of money. If you want to

584
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: make a million dollars, but you're in an industry that

585
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: or in a position where there's no way in hell

586
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: that you're going to make a million dollars, then how

587
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: are you going to make it? So you have to

588
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: you have to find you have to find an industry

589
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: that will allow you to be as successful as you want, right,

590
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: an opportunity. But the second one is the hardest one.

591
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: You have to find someone who's done it before, who's

592
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: got a best at interest in your success that's going

593
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: to help you do it. And if you could find

594
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: those two things, you should be pretty successful unless you

595
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: just don't start applying the things that you're being taught.

596
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's that's what I've seen over and over.

597
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: It's just the consistency is again, consistent consistency will take

598
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: average to excellence. I mean, here's a perfect example, Addie.

599
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: It's funny I was talking to Teddy the other day

600
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: and she was making fun of a picture I post

601
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: that She called it a thirst trap, and that's why

602
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: I was showing my abs. Right, And I do the

603
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: same boring ass workout that I've been doing since I

604
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: was at eighteen years old. Nothing special about it, nothing

605
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: sexy about it. But it's just the consistency over the years.

606
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: I don't even have to work out on it as hard.

607
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: You know, I maybe do abs once a week now.

608
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: Back then I used to do them like or five

609
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: times a week, and it's it's like the same. It's

610
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 2: just the consistency. And then I'll see dudes in the

611
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: gym doing all kinds of you know, crazy ab workouts

612
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: and they're nowhere, dear what you know where I'm at

613
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: right And here I am with my boring ass freaking

614
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: four step AB workout. Nothing special about it other than

615
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: I've just been consistent.

616
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: Consistency really plays a big role in every aspect of life,

617
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: which you know, just brought up another point leading into

618
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: it's not just about making money, because the reality is

619
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: not every single person in this world can apply these

620
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: rules and be a six figure a year earner. Right,

621
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: There's other aspects involved such as opportunity and relationships and

622
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: of course timing. So let's shift a little bit off

623
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: of the financial business, you know, consistency, purpose and think

624
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: about our personal lives, you know, because money ultimately doesn't

625
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: buy you happiness, it's it's who you are as a

626
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: person and your relationship. So are you I know you're

627
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: struggling right now and you're living through a really challenging

628
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: time with your relationship. What part of consistency has been

629
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: applicable to what you've done in your relationship for all

630
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: these years? And how are you handling these challenges today?

631
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well so I think again, So your goes back

632
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: to your habits, right, I think your character will be

633
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: revealed under pressure, right, it's under pressure, your character will

634
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 2: be revealed. Right. And you know, for me, I've always

635
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 2: leaned on faith, you know, whether that's business, whether that's family,

636
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: whether that's my health. It's just always leaning on faith first,

637
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 2: always having hope, something that you're looking forward to. You know.

638
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: That's that's been huge for me.

639
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: Right, That's part of your consistency, right, yes, okay?

640
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: And and in fact, the more successful I got, the

641
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 2: more I wanted to lean into faith, right, Right, Because

642
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: you know, the more success comes, the more sometimes problems comes.

643
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: And you know, right now I'm dealing with another set

644
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: of problems, but it's really my faith that's kind of

645
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: carrying me through that. Also, you know, the discipline of

646
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: still like, hey, even though all this stuff is going on, like,

647
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: you still have to get there's still a lot of

648
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 2: people that are depending on you. You got to get the

649
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: job done right. And and then gratitude, you know, that's

650
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: that's a big one. Gratitude is And it's not easy.

651
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: You have to cultivate gratitude because we're already pre programmed

652
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: to worry all the time. So if you're grateful, you

653
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 2: won't see like failure as permanent because there's so many

654
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: things that you're grateful for. So that's that's been huge,

655
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 2: you know. And and you know obvious tell people if

656
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: you're if you're struggling with faith, increase your gratitude. And

657
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 2: if you increase your gratitude, you'll automatically have you know, faith,

658
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: you know. So so yeah, it's just uh doing the

659
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: doing the things that you're that you're supposed to be doing,

660
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: you know, and and just continuing to push I think,

661
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 2: continue to push forward, right because I think what what

662
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: happens with most people is when that fear comes, they

663
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: sort of get paralyzed and they don't move, and then

664
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: from there comes procrastination. You know, you need to do stuff,

665
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: but you don't do it, and then from there you

666
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 2: become paranoid. And then that's when you get in your

667
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 2: head about things, and then that's when that anxiety really

668
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: starts to creep in, because it's just a bunch of

669
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 2: thoughts in your mind. I mean, think about it. When

670
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: have you overthought good thoughts? Every time you overthink something,

671
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: it's bad thoughts.

672
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

673
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and what happens when you have a lot

674
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 2: of thought in your head when you have a lot

675
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 2: of clutter, you're at a low frequency. What you want

676
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 2: to be is at a high frequency. And you could

677
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: only get a high frequency when you have clarity. You

678
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 2: don't even have time to think because you have you're

679
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: so clear on everything that you want.

680
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

681
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: So you know that's why, Like for me, one of

682
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 2: the ways I do that is just by staying productive.

683
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: You know, I always say execute being overwhelmed by overwhelming execution,

684
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: and that for me has always helped me out quite

685
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: a bit, you know, because Otherwise if you just sit

686
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 2: around and think, mine'll go wild on you.

687
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: You know, going back to the consistency, that's I think

688
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: a big part of being in control, right, Self control,

689
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: self discipline is one of the biggest factors that's made

690
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: me successful. And I've had moments where, you know what,

691
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't want any self control. I just want to

692
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: relax and not think about anything, right. But I also

693
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: know that when you get to a point where you've

694
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: been consistent with life and everything in your life, you're

695
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: essentially in control of your life. And I know that

696
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: when you can't control something, that's when chaos ensues, and

697
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: that's when your mind gets clouded, and that's when feelings

698
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: that you get distort you, and then you start doing

699
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: shit that you shouldn't be doing and you regret later

700
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: on saying things. You know, and that's typical in any

701
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: kind of disagreement, whether it's business or personal family. Right,

702
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: do you feel like you're in control right now going

703
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: through what you're going through with Teddy? Or are you

704
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: depending relying on faith to manage it for you? I mean,

705
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: how are you going to get through? This is really

706
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: the question I'm asking, Do you know?

707
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you have to let A big part

708
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: of it is faith, right, because I think what robs

709
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: you of your inner piece is you trying to control

710
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 2: something that you cannot control. There's just certain like I'm

711
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: big on controlling what I can control, but there's certain

712
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: things that you can't control. And that's kind of where

713
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 2: the faith comes in, Yeah, because when you try to

714
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 2: control something you can't control, then that's where you rob

715
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 2: yourself of the inner piece. And I think more than

716
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: anything like inner piece joy are probably two of the

717
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: best things you could ever have. And you know, I'm

718
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 2: not going to sit here and say that every day

719
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 2: is perfect. It's just it's ups and downs. And sometimes

720
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 2: I feel great and I'm like, yeah, this is things

721
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: are going to be great, and then then the next day,

722
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the F is going on in my life? Right? Like,

723
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 2: So it's just knowing, Yeah, it's just knowing that. Look,

724
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: it's not about perfection. It's about progression and taking one

725
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: day at a time. Know that you're going to have

726
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 2: bad days, like it's part of life, Like we're not

727
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: always going to be feeling great, and and don't beat

728
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: yourself up when you have those bad days. And you know,

729
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 2: and it's it's it's the only way that that that

730
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: you can do it. I think is just acknowledging that

731
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: it's going to be tough putting one keep progressing right,

732
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 2: because the only way you're going to get out of

733
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 2: that dark valley is like continue to push. If you

734
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 2: just stop and sit around, you're never going to get

735
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 2: out right. So you just got to progress every day.

736
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 2: Know that it's you know, you're gonna get knocked down.

737
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 2: Sometimes you're gonna get back up, and it's just it's

738
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: a it's a journey and then hope for for you know,

739
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 2: for the best.

740
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: Another thing is, you know that keeps us kept me

741
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: and some of my clients motivated is doing something that's

742
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: bigger than yourself. And and this was applicable during our

743
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: Spartan training. You know, when you're doing an obstacle and

744
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: it's the the why, you know what what is your why?

745
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: What is your reasoning? And how are you gonna empower

746
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: yourself to get through it? And sometimes I had to

747
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: talk to clients and say, I think about something that's

748
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: bigger than you and decide if it's powerful enough to

749
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: get you through the hardest times, the hardest obstacles. And

750
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: I had a client that actually found me through Spartan

751
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: race research, and he said he was going to do

752
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: a Spartan race with his son, and his son ended

753
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: up passing away from some cancer or something like that,

754
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: and he was determined to do a Spartan because that's

755
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 1: what he was going to do with his son. And

756
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: he's like, gosh, I think he was pushing seventy years old.

757
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: And the guy was motivated, and he was you know,

758
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: he was he was there because of the power he

759
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: had from his son. You know, he was doing it

760
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: not for himself, but for the power of, you know,

761
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: making his son proud, who isn't around. I mean, that's

762
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: a very powerful tool, right right. And and what I'm

763
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: getting at I think is, you know, I think part

764
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: of what your struggle is you're going through can be

765
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: empowered by thinking about the kids. You know, thinking the

766
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: kids first. Anytime it comes to a divorce or separation

767
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: of two people that you know have something in common,

768
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: I think it's important to think about what that was

769
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: that you have in common in how to protect that.

770
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: So I think I think if you really use that tool,

771
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: I think you'll be able to enhance and and and

772
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: you know ten x your faith and power to get

773
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: through this hard time in your life. You know, I

774
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: know it's not easy, you know, but I just want

775
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: you to be, you know, as successful and as happy

776
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: as you can be going through this time of your life.

777
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: Bro, I appreciate it, man. And you just reminded me

778
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: of one of my favorite quotes, which is courage is

779
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: not the absence of fear, it's the absence of self.

780
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: And it's typically you know, if you live for yourself,

781
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 2: you can settle for less, but if you live for others,

782
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: that require all of who you are. And that's exactly

783
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: what you said. It's just it's a big driver, you know,

784
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 2: seeing you know, things aren't taught, they're caught. And your

785
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 2: kids see how you handle yourself during a pressure situation.

786
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: And that's why I say your character will be revealed

787
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: under a pressure situation. And habits are reflexive, and if

788
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 2: you have good habits, that's what's going to come out.

789
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 2: That's the kind of person you are. So I think

790
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 2: for me and to your point, when you change your

791
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: life for the better and you start doing better, you

792
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 2: give people hope and faith that their life can change too.

793
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 2: And it could be a major inspiration for people as well.

794
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 2: So you know, I think what I'd say to everybody listening.

795
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 2: If you're going through tough times, you know know that

796
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: when you overcome it, when you change, it's you're going

797
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 2: to inspire many people. And in life. I know sometimes

798
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 2: people don't think this, but you know a mantra that

799
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: I love is I exist, Therefore I will impact. And

800
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: it's just a reminder to yourself, I exist, therefore I

801
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 2: will impact. No matter who you are, You're going to

802
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 2: impact this world, and it's either going to be positive

803
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 2: or negative because your decisions are going to impact this world.

804
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: And I've just always chosen to do it in a

805
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: positive way, right And you're either inspire, you're going to expire.

806
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: And the thing about it is, no matter who you are,

807
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 2: I promise you you can inspire someone because there's someone

808
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: that is just like you that when they see you

809
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 2: do better, it gives them faith and hope that their

810
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: life can change.

811
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Absolutely, And coming full circle, because we started this

812
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: conversation about resolutions, I think that's a mindset. What do

813
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: you think your mindset is for twenty twenty five? Are

814
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: you optimistic about what this year brings.

815
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 2: Or yeah, I'm very optimistic. I mean, I think twenty

816
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 2: twenty four was probably my toughest year in life. Everything

817
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 2: that could have gone wrong in business kind of went

818
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 2: wrong in business obviously, you know the news at the

819
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 2: end of the year with my relationship wasn't a good

820
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: one either. But again, hopefully this gives people a lot

821
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 2: of hope. Is when you know you're doing the right things,

822
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 2: there's always going to be a reaction, right, So for

823
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: every action, there's a reaction, right, And what happens a

824
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 2: lot of times is when you're doing the right things,

825
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: it takes about six months to a year, sometimes two

826
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 2: years to see it just skyrocket. And what happens is

827
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 2: most people, when they don't see the results in three months,

828
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 2: they quit. When they don't see the result in six months,

829
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: they quit. But if you can just stay consistent like,

830
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: it's gonna come. And I've seen this over and over

831
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: in my life, and that's where I think twenty twenty

832
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 2: five is going to be a great year for us.

833
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 2: For me, i should say, and that I've been putting

834
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: in so much work that it's just part of the

835
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 2: resistance that you have to go through when you're gonna

836
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 2: do some great and so I'm really optimistic on twenty five.

837
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: Not because I'm just like thinking and hoping, and it's

838
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 2: I know, I put in the work and I haven't quit,

839
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 2: and I'm continuing to put the work. So I'm expecting

840
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: to have my biggest comeback here and a very successful one.

841
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 2: So you know, God willing that's what's gonna happen. But

842
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: I truly believe it in my heart.

843
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I got to be honest with you, though

844
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: I didn't come into this new year with big goals

845
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: in mine and I think we talked about that earlier

846
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: in our conversation, but I do have a sense of optimism,

847
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: like this is going to be a big year of change,

848
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: a positive year of change, because not just you know

849
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: what's going on to you with you and you know

850
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 1: other people in the world, and gosh, what's happening already

851
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five is devastating in LA But I

852
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: realized that I just I operate so much better when

853
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic, and whatever that brings for me, I'm gonna

854
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: cherish and you know, take in with open arms. But

855
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: my goal for twenty twenty five is to make some

856
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: great positive changes and I don't know what those changes

857
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: are yet, but it's going to be a year of

858
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: change for me, whatever that is.

859
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 2: I love what you just said there, Eddie, because honestly,

860
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 2: ninety percent winning in life is just being positive. If

861
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 2: you can take a negative and turn it into a positive.

862
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 2: And here's a quick formula for you to do that.

863
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 2: So your life is a series of events, and based

864
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 2: on the interpretation that you give that event, that's going

865
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 2: to give you a feeling. That feeling is going to

866
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 2: cause you to take action, and that action is going

867
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: to take you give you the result. So if you

868
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: don't like the result, you have to change the action,

869
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: which means you have to change the meaning, which means

870
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 2: you have to change the interpretation. But if you become

871
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 2: really good at the interpretation of that thing that happened

872
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 2: in your life, you'll now get that feeling. That feeling

873
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 2: will cause you to take a certain type of action

874
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: and that'll give you a result. Now easier said than done, right,

875
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 2: So sometimes you won't be as great at interpreting that

876
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,959
Speaker 2: event in your life. And a reminder is just because

877
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 2: you feel some way, let's say it's a bad way

878
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 2: that you feel doesn't mean you have to act on it.

879
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 2: Just a little reminder on that as well. You don't

880
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 2: have to act on everything you feel and you know,

881
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 2: because sometimes you're not going to have the greatest feelings.

882
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: Right, It's just part of life.

883
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 2: Life.

884
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: So let's do a quick speed round for what we're

885
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: looking forward to in twenty twenty five. We have some

886
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: questions here and then we'll wrap this up. Let's say

887
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: a place you want to visit this year? Is there

888
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: any specific place you want to see this year that

889
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: you've always wanted to see that you haven't seen for

890
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 1: whatever reason?

891
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 2: Abiza? What about you?

892
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: Oh, Abiza, that's good. I always wanted to see that

893
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: when I was younger in my party days. Today I

894
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,919
Speaker 1: would feel like an old man there.

895
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I might be that old man there, but

896
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to check out Abiza. By the way,

897
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: I heard it's a great place to take your kids too.

898
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 2: Apparently it's apparently it's like it's it's people from France

899
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 2: that's like their Mexico.

900
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean it's the party island. But it's

901
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: a gorgeous place and you know, you don't have to

902
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: go there to party, but it's it's a beautiful place.

903
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: That's awesome. A place I want to sit this year

904
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: is actually Zion. I've been wanting to go to Utah

905
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: and visit just you know, just something here that I've

906
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: never seen, the red rocks, the hiking trails, the beautifulness

907
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 1: of our beautiful country. So that's one of my goals

908
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 1: is to visit Zion this year. Is there a skill

909
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: you want to learn this year? A new skill?

910
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm either I'm either going to take dancing lessons, although

911
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: I like to think I'm a really good dancer, but

912
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 2: I want to take it up to another level. What

913
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 2: kind of I think a little bit soalsis a little

914
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 2: hip hop like I want to start doing all that

915
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: just but I want to do with my kids too.

916
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 2: I think it'll be pretty fun to do with my kids.

917
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 2: And the other one is cooking. I think that's a

918
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 2: new skill set that I want to develop.

919
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about you new skill set? I think I

920
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 1: want to learn everything I can possibly about AI. You know,

921
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: to me, that seems to be the next good inner, right,

922
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: So I I really am curious. I avoided it for

923
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: the last two years, but I think it will be

924
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: a big deal for the for the rest of our life.

925
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: So I'm going to learn everything I can about AI.

926
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: Do you have any predictions for this year in general?

927
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: Nothing specific.

928
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 2: That one. I don't know. I'm not really that good

929
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 2: at predicting there. I mean, well, you're going to get going.

930
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: Going back to my positive thinking, I predict this is

931
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,280
Speaker 1: going to be a great year for the United States.

932
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's I just I predict that it's going

933
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: to be a good year. So is there anything you

934
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: want to do for someone this year? Anything or anyone?

935
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 2: You know, my dad? You know, the World Cup is coming,

936
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 2: so I'm I My dad's getting older, so I definitely

937
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 2: want to spend more time with my dad, but also

938
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 2: just kind of start lining up that big trip that

939
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 2: I want to do for him for the World Cup.

940
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 2: You know, I've never taken more than ten days off

941
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 2: in a row, and I want to just take off

942
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 2: thirty days in a row for that and just experience

943
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 2: that with him. I mean that that's that's that's what

944
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: what what comes to mind and travel?

945
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I want to have a hundredth year birthday

946
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 1: for my grandmother. She's going to be one hundred in September,

947
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: but I want to have it six months before that,

948
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: because you know, I just don't know if she's going

949
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: to make it or not. I mean, she's doing great,

950
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: she's all there, firing on all eight but you know,

951
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to wait. So that's what

952
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: I want to do for someone, which is my grandmother,

953
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: is have a nice hundred year of birthday parties. So

954
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: and what is your word for this year?

955
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 2: Relentless consistency.

956
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 1: Relentless consistency?

957
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 2: What about you?

958
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: I would say probably Sarah anddipity. That's my word, serendipity.

959
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 2: There you go.

960
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how to apply it, but that's the

961
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: first word that came to my head right now.

962
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 2: Same thing, that's the first thing I just when you

963
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 2: said it, I was just like, leveless consistency.

964
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: That's awesome, awesome, Well, happy to year, great catching up

965
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: with you.

966
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, was always a message for you for the listeners

967
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five.

968
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forget that we had a message for

969
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 1: you listeners. What is the message? The message I think

970
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: I want to I want to give our listeners is

971
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: stay positive, stay positive, think positive. Even during the hardest

972
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: times in life, in what life throws at you, try

973
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: to stay as positive as possible, because that's where you'll

974
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: be able to see through all the noise and garbage

975
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: and distractions that happen in your head. With me, I've

976
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 1: always used positivity as sort of the servile silver silver lining.

977
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,800
Speaker 1: You know, why is this happening? And what's the lesson?

978
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: And ah, where's my path to get through this? You know,

979
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: so positivitally, it's always helped me think I don't care

980
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: how hard this is. I don't care if I'm you know,

981
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: so far behind or I've lost it all. I am

982
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: looking for the pop, for the path that's going to

983
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: get me out of this. And if I think positive,

984
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: I will find that path. If I think negative, I

985
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: won't see anything, and I would just be blinding and

986
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: and and never get out of that hole or never

987
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: get out of that situation. So I'd say stay positive

988
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: for for as much as you can, even on the hardest,

989
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: worst times of your life. For illustration purposes, let's say

990
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 1: again you are in a car accident. You're you're upside

991
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: down in the car, and you're looking around and you're dizzy,

992
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: and and you think, oh my god, this is the

993
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: end of my life. If you switch gears and think positive,

994
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to get out of this, I'm going to

995
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: get that out of this alive, and I'm going to

996
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: get back to my life. It's a better way to

997
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: get out of a situation than to think, oh no,

998
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: I'm never going to be able to walk, or oh no,

999
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: I just lost my arm, or you know whatever. You

1000
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: know negative thought comes into your head. Switch it to

1001
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: a positive.

1002
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 2: Love that I would say, you know, most people are

1003
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 2: waiting to know before they go, and you have to

1004
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 2: go before you know. And you have to go before

1005
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 2: you know. Most people are waiting to know before they go.

1006
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 2: But in reality, you have to go before you know.

1007
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 2: And that's really another way of saying you have to

1008
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 2: take action before you have what you need. To wait

1009
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,959
Speaker 2: until you have what you need to actually start taking

1010
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,879
Speaker 2: action towards it. Whatever your goal is, as crazy as

1011
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 2: it sounds, is you know, non realistic as it sounds,

1012
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 2: Just start taking action towards it and you'll start seeing

1013
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 2: how the stars will start aligning to you. But you

1014
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 2: have to go before you know. The house like the

1015
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: Killer of All Dreams. Sometimes we're waiting for the perfect time.

1016
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 2: It's never gonna have a perfect time. You got to

1017
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 2: just go to go after it. Yeah, so go after

1018
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 2: it in twenty twenty five. That's all five twenty five.

1019
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 2: I love it.

1020

1024
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,120
