1 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: People want to ask how do I invest, Like, where 2 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: do I invest, especially in this crazy climate? What do 3 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: I do to build something from myself? And so we're 4 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: going to dig into that today and it's not the 5 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: answer that you thought we're going to give, and it's 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: worth hearing. And I think more people need to hear 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: about stuff like this because in a climate when there's 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: just so much confusion on the Internet and everyone's trying 9 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: to get a piece of everybody, and everyone wants you 10 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: to do something, it's really hard to get an understanding 11 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: on where do I go from here? And I think 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: I have the best answer for that. And maybe that's 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: saying a lot, but I truly think it is. And 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: so today I recruited my brother slash my manager. Sometimes 15 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: he's my only my brother and sometimes he's only my manager, 16 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: depending on the day. In the conversation, Tyler Smith is here. 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: We got permission from The Bachelorette to have him on 18 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: here so he could actually talk. He's been handcuffed by 19 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: that show for he wouldn't say that that's my words, 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: not his. Since he was on the show, I've been 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: wanting to get him on this podcast just because he's 22 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: my brother and I think you guys would love his advice. 23 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: He's a really smart dude. He reads a lot, he 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: knows so much about self development, and he could give 25 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: really good advice. He does to me all the time. 26 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: I rely on him for good advice. So it only 27 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: makes sense that we should have him on this podcast. 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: So I got him. I got him wrangled in. We're 29 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: going to talk about your questions, including what do I 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: do with my investment? Like how do I even start? 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: Where do I go? We got the answer for you. 32 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: I think it's really good one. I think it's the 33 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: best one. That's my opinion. So welcome to the podcast. 34 00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Ye yee did chant and decent mus and school, long 35 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: line of five, fool of up and down on Back's 36 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: rangy cool wage Yeah you gation.

Yeah, I can talk about certain things. Okay, 46 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: Tyler was on recent season of the Bachelorette, and we 47 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: don't have to talk about specifics of that show, and 48 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: you might not even be able to, but that's interesting 49 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: how you went into the Bachelorette, how you were picked 50 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: for the Bachelorette, and how you approached it. And people 51 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: listening to this podcast might not even watch that show, 52 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: but it's interesting how you approached that whole project. And 53 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: for those of you all that don't know, and most 54 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: probably don't, Tyler is just a vocious is that a word? Vocious? 55 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: Ferocious reader? You have? You have an entire wall in 56 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: your office that's nothing but books, and most of the 57 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: books are related to succeeding in life in some way, 58 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: whether that's physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Most of the reading 59 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: right all right? Well? And self yeah, personal development, personal development. 60 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: So because of you read so much, you have become 61 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: just a walking encyclopedia of self help advice. And whenever 62 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: I need something, you'll usually throw out some one liner 63 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: that's I'm like, man, what or did you hear that 64 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: that's incredible. And you'll say, I don't know some one 65 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: of these books. Sometimes you even you don't even remember 66 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: where it came from, which is awesome. You kind of 67 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: like Bernie, who we had last week. You have a 68 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: You're very regimented in your life, and your success has 69 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: come because of the discipline that you grew up with 70 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: playing football. You played college football at Rice, and you 71 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: took that discipline into life in a lot of ways, 72 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: and you have a You are very uncommon amongst most 73 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: humans that I know. I promise I'll let you talk. 74 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: But in the ways in terms of you wake up 75 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: at what time? Five? You wake up five every day, 76 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: seven days a week. Yeah, well sometimes on the weekends 77 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: I don't, but I'm trying to. And you go to 78 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: bed at what time? Which is probably what this is 79 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: what makes you more uncommon. It depends. Last yesterday, for 80 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: whatever reason, I was really tired, so I went to 81 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: bed at eight. I just listened to my body. But 82 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: usually he went to bed at eight, And usually it's 83 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: usually I'm in bed by nine, fall asleep by nine thirty. 84 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: But it's never when I'm on my routine, it's never 85 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: later than ten. Yeah, so I don't. I don't think 86 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: anyone listening to this podcast. I'd be willing to bet 87 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: that anyone besides the people that have a job that 88 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: works all night. I don't think anyone went to bed 89 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: at eight o'clock last night that's listening to this podcast 90 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: except for you. Not unless you're four years old. Three 91 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: years old. Yeah, Oneon and Lincoln stay up later than 92 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, my kids stay awake later than you do. 93 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: So you approached a batcheorette with this mentality of I'm 94 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: going to I'm going to attack this opportunity as a 95 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: as a way to grow as a man, as a person, 96 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: and some people might be listening on what like that. 97 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: That doesn't even make any sense. You can go to 98 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: a bachelorette, this reality show to become a better man, 99 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: and that's not really the way you approached it. You 100 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: approached it as I'm going to I'm going to really 101 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: put myself and test myself at the limits of my 102 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: social capacity in that kind of environment. Right, m So, 103 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: how did you including COVID and the quarantine, how did 104 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: you how did you approach the bachelorette? How did I 105 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: approach it or why did I go well? For for instance, 106 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: I told I told everyone, you're a huge reader. You 107 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: have this schedule, extreme schedule that you keep. You time 108 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: block your day, Like even to get on this podcast, 109 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: like I had to get it to the minute because 110 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: I know you and you you have your time blocked 111 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: and then certain time you you do certain things. And 112 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: so to go into a show where you're not the 113 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: boss of anything was a huge mental challenge for you. 114 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: So you didn't have your books, you didn't have your routine, 115 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: you didn't have your meals you eat the same thing 116 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: every day. You didn't have your everything that you have. 117 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: So how did you how and why did you approach 118 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: it that way? Or why did you even accept it 119 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: at all? I mean, obviously it wasn't a good wife, No, 120 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: that was part of it. Yeah, of course it was. 121 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: You know, if I'm being honest, you know it's I 122 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: went on there because you know, I'm I'm single and 123 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking right. So I didn't know Claire who was 124 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: a bachelorette personally obviously, but she was a bachelorette and 125 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: I was like, well, let's go see, like maybe maybe 126 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: this could work, right, So that's one of the reasons 127 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: I went. But the other main reason I went was 128 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: to get out of my comfort zone and to experience 129 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: and experience, right, you know, experiences in life are a 130 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: big deal to me, and you know, twenty twenty, that 131 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: was my experience, was being on the biggest TV show 132 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: in the world, Right, So I'm looking for that experience 133 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty one, kind of have something that defines 134 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: each year, and that was kind of a big part 135 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty for me. So that's why I went. 136 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, I was. I was in the middle, like 137 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: of my longest streak of personal development as far as 138 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, every day five am and working out really 139 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: great shape. And it all had nothing to do with 140 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: the Bautrurette. I was just that's just how I was living. 141 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, I was on like one hundred and twenty 142 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: seven days or one hundred and twenty nine days in 143 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: a row on a streak of doing my meditation app 144 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: called Calm, Right, So when they took the phone, that 145 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: was kind of a hard deal for me. I of 146 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: course continue doing meditation, but there's something weird in the 147 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: human mind with streaks. You don't want to break the streak. Yeah, 148 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: it's just weird how that it works. If any of 149 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: y'all listening, or if you ever had a streak of 150 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: doing meditation every day and and you physically actually like 151 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think Jerry Seinfeld had like a calendar 152 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: of something he was doing, and his philosophy was, if 153 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: you cross it out every day, you see that visual 154 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: of that streak, and you don't want that streak to stop. 155 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: And so when that stopped, that was a little hard 156 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: for me to break that yeak, you know, when I 157 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: got my phone back and I was like, I got 158 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: to start over from day one, even though I was 159 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: still meditating, it was, Yeah, it was hard. Yeah, I 160 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: have a my speaking of day one. You said day one, 161 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: But that's the name of my app I use for journaling, 162 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: and it tells you every time you pull it up 163 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: whenever you finish a journal it says, congrats, you're on 164 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: a forty three day streak and has a little little 165 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: fire emoji. And I have a lot of things that 166 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: do that. My cameo app, like when I do for 167 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: other people, it always tells me. The first thing it 168 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: tells me is the streak I'm on, the streak of 169 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: cameos that I've done without mit letting one skip. Yeah, 170 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm on today's day fifty four for seventy five hard 171 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: Andy Forsella's challenge. So what is seventy five hard? I 172 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: think last time I was on the podcast, I was 173 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: doing it, and it's every day for seventy five days. 174 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: It's more of a mental challenge than anything. That's the 175 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: most important thing for people to realize that it's not 176 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: a physical challenge, although you'll definitely see dramatic physical results. 177 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: But it's shout out to Andy Forsella for this. If 178 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: y'all are listening, go check it out. But it's every 179 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: day for seventy five days in a row. You do 180 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: technically six things, technically five, but at six. It's drink 181 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: a gallon of water every day, work out for forty 182 00:11:53,960 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: five minutes inside every day, work out outside every day 183 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: for forty five minutes, no cheap meals, no alcohol, and 184 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: a progress picture every day and if you skip or 185 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: forget any of those then you have to start over 186 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: from day one. So it's literally it's just a mental 187 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: it's just a mental challenge accountability, you know. So Parker, 188 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: for instance, was on day like fifty and when I 189 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: made him do it, finally got him to do it. 190 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: I can't stress enough that everybody should do it, but 191 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,359 Speaker 1: not everybody will and that's why it's, you know, uncommon. 192 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: But Parker missed his progress pick forgot to take a picture, 193 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: so Hey stopped and I was like, dude, when you 194 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: gonna do it again? You can't just stop at day fifty. 195 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: You'd be like, well, I didn't do it, you know, 196 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: So did he? I don't remember, didn't when he missed it, 197 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: so he had to start over from day one, and 198 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: he didn't start over. So I'm trying to get him 199 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: to do it again. So in order to achieve extraordinary goals, 200 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: you have to be able to do extraordinary things in 201 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: your daily life. Really misunderstood for a lot of people 202 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: just want success or they want to they want to know, like, 203 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: what's the secret to success? Well, it's it's in every 204 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: minute of your day doing things that are uncommon. Why 205 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: do you choose to live like that? Because you've done 206 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: this for years now. Yeah. To someone that would say 207 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: how about this, someone that says, dude, lighting up? Man? Yeah, 208 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: just RelA man, have a cheeseburger. Come on, man, live 209 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. You ain't living. One of my biggest 210 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: fears is mediocrity and average. It's one of my biggest fears. 211 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: So every day I try to do things. One of 212 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: my ultimate goals, like life purpose is the real, relentless 213 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: pursuit of my ultimate potential to be become everything that 214 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: God intended me to be. So you know, whenever I 215 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: do look and that doesn't mean that I don't know 216 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: how cheeseburgers are sleeping where I'm human and I've gone 217 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: through streaks of doing that. After the Bachelorette. You know, 218 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: it was hard when I came back, you know a 219 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: lot of things emotionally and mentally, like you know, not 220 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: expecting to come back when I did. And you know, 221 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: because I'm I want to win and I want to 222 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: be number one and everything whatever that means. So as 223 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: you're wearing a shirt that says I am second, right, right, Yeah, 224 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: I struggled. I struggled with my ego all the time 225 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: and my faith and Christianity. That's a whole nother conversation 226 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: of trying to put God first always. But yeah, it's 227 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: it's just a decision every day. You know, I don't 228 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: want to get up at five am. It's really hard, right, 229 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: So doing hard things builds self confidence, you know, keeping 230 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,479 Speaker 1: the promises you make to yourself, and belief in yourself, 231 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: and grit and perseverance and consistency and all those things 232 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: that essentially I study, like you said, successful people, you know, 233 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: from Jesus all the way to you know, modern day 234 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: successful businessmen and singers, and I try to. I'm a 235 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: big advocate on habits, good habits and replacing bad habits, 236 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: and just basically, you know, the cheat sheet to life 237 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: is what is that guy doing that I admire and 238 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: copy what he's doing, you know, and then success shows 239 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: up in your life in different ways. Yeah. And I've 240 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: been on the other side too, you know, the drinking 241 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: and that eating whatever I want. And I'm just saying 242 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: that I've done both, and I prefer this version of 243 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: me like so much better. But it's easy. It's like, yeah, man, 244 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: I wish I could have a drink tonight, and I 245 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: wish I could have three or four drinks right and 246 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: play video games or something. And you know, of course 247 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: I will again, you know, but not right now. I'm 248 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: doing seventy five hard and it's the majority of my life. 249 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: If I can do this, then I'm going to do 250 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: it for sure. Is that kind of what encompasses your 251 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: take a cold shower theory two. Yeah, it's the hard things, man. 252 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: It just really like nobody wants to do a cold shower, 253 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: nobody wants to get up at five or early. And 254 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: if you do it, then that little trigger in your 255 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: minds like I'm doing things that other people aren't doing, 256 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: and so I'm going to get things that other people 257 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: aren't going to get. Right. It's pretty simple. Yeah, yeah, 258 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: that's awesome. That's awesome. I want to answer some questions 259 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: if you can from people, and these aren't specifically to you, 260 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: but I kind of found several that I think are 261 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: relevant to your life. And it's just really cool because 262 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: you know, I sit in here and then do this 263 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: podcast every Monday and answer people's questions, which, by the way, 264 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: it's if you have a question, email Grangersmith podcast at 265 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: gmail dot com. Anything could be any topic. But it's 266 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: interesting because I sit in here and then the one 267 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: office over is you every day, and you're a guy 268 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: that has so many resources to be able to answer 269 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: all these questions, and it's rare that you're actually on 270 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: the podcast. One you're just uh, you time block and 271 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: you're you're busy and two we we've been kind of 272 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: worried about the Batcheorette for many months.

You do. Yeah, So 308 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: it's one hundred percent, without a doubt. Books knowledge read 309 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: every day. That's an investment in yourself. It's an eight 310 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: dollars book, twenty dollars book, whatever it is. But it 311 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 1: could be priceless. I could give you, you know, what 312 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: you'll find in books, you know, not only building all 313 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: those character traits and and you know, belief in yourself 314 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: and self confidence, but you know, seek out what you 315 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: think you might want to do. If it's not stocks, 316 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: if it's real estate, invest in you know, businesses, whatever 317 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: it is. Find books that cater to to where you 318 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: think you might be leaning, and just dive in man 319 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: every single day. So where would he start? What book 320 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: would he start with? What? It's hard to tell if 321 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: he if he's not calling out that he wants to 322 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: do real estate or or not, but probably Miracle Morning, right, 323 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: Miracle Morning by how l Rod started it all For me, 324 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: I would definitely I recommend Miracle Morning. Marshall, Poor Marshall's like, 325 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: that is not what I was asking. What investors when 326 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: you make an investment and you're asking me to invest 327 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: in myself. But it's the right advice, right, it's the 328 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: right advice. You invest in yourself first. Yeah, nothing happens 329 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: without you know, investing in yourself first. Yeah, I believe 330 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: Tyler's right. And so it's a backwards way of answering 331 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: your question. I know, it's not the answer you're looking for. 332 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: But if you're here, you are. You got your fiance, 333 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: you got a baby at home, you've got a good job. 334 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: You're probably pretty young. I would assume you're in you're 335 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: in your twenties or low thirties. And Tyler's right. The 336 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: best investment you could make is the time donating time 337 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: back to yourself. So where do you find the time. 338 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: I'm already busy. I go to work at seven am. 339 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: Then you got to wake up at five. That's where. 340 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: That's where the early mornings, and that's why why most 341 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: success askful business people wake up early. The usual reason 342 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: is you're getting up before your your kid and your girl, 343 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: and that's when your phone is not being bombarded by 344 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: text messages yet or phone calls or emails. So you 345 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: have time, uninterrupted quiet time to invest some way or 346 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: form in yourself. So, whether that's literally, whether that's reading 347 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: reading the New Testament, or or studying real estate, or heck, 348 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: even even reading some kind of fiction is good practice 349 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: for you setting aside time and investing time in yourself. 350 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: And then what's going to happen, Marshall, is this opportunity 351 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: that you're asking for financial advice is what I'm thinking 352 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: you're asking for. I know that's what you're asking for. 353 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: So investing in yourself will open doors that you didn't 354 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: even realize. And it might maybe it's real estate. And 355 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: by reading, by reading, or in investing time in yourself, 356 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: suddenly you're going to find the opportunity to meet somebody 357 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: that's maybe the fixer upper or you know, that does 358 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: construction and homes and they're like, man, I got this 359 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: got this apartment complex and I'm looking to looking to 360 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: sell a few units. Would you be interested in investing 361 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: in a few units and then and I could manage 362 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: it for you and I could fix it up anyway. 363 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: That kind of opportunity you could be You could have 364 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: already been reading and preparing and then you go, you 365 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: know what this is. This is exactly what I need 366 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: to be doing right now. So yeah, I'm going to 367 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: echo Tyler Miracle morning, how you're actually hopefully he's going 368 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: to come out to the farm and shoot some guns. 369 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: I was talking to his buddy, part of a mastermind 370 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: called Go Abundance today and he was telling me how 371 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: he lives in Austin, so hopefully we'll get him out 372 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: here yeah, but it's really quick to add to that. 373 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: It's all about action, like Marshall, Like, you know, I'm 374 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: I do real estate. Those are the investments that I do, 375 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: some of them, but you know I did. It's all 376 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: about action. You have to take action and you'll figure 377 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: out along the way, along the journey, and never the 378 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: journey never stops. Like you know, I have a commercial 379 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: unit and I have you know, a quadplex and some 380 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: single families and that sort of thing. But I was like, 381 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: I don't really like commercials, so I'll probably sell it, 382 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, But I didn't know that when I bought it. 383 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't have known that if I didn't buy 384 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: it and take action. So and then the morning, like 385 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: Grangeer was saying, is is important for me because like 386 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: all the all the reasons he mentioned, but also because 387 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: you will power you lose it throughout the day. You know, 388 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: we're all guilty, we're human. You have the most will 389 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: power right when you wake up, right and so that's 390 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: when that's my miracle morning. That's that's the time when 391 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: I'm most productive. You know, when four three, two three, 392 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: four o'clock rolls around and then the end of the 393 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: work day five o'clock dinner. All I want to do, 394 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: and what I do a lot of time is watched 395 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: my favorite show. And then that's why I go to 396 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: bed early, because I know that just watching the next 397 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: episode of Netflix isn't going to be productive for me ultimately, 398 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: so I'd rather go to sleep early and wake up early. 399 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, Tyler always kind of pushes me on that too, 400 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: that no decisions should really be made. I would say 401 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: after four pm because your brain is just not it's 402 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: not ready. It's tired. You know, it's a muscle like 403 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: anything else, and it's tired from all the decisions you've 404 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: made during the day, and it takes more effort to 405 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: make decisions after four pm. So you'll do yourself a 406 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: favor if you actually set set guidelines for yourself and 407 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: saying hey, whether it's your boss, your friends, coworkers, whatever, 408 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: just say hey, after X time. It could be five o'clock, 409 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: could be six o'clock, could be four o'clock after it 410 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: could be noon. If you get all the stuff you 411 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: need to get done for the day, it could be noon. 412 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: So after that time, I'm sorry to take calls. It's 413 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: not rude, that's looking after yourself. So that you could 414 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: be better for everyone else. We're building amor and I 415 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: are building a house right now. And my project manager, Rob, 416 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: who manages the whole building process, he told me in 417 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: the first conversation when I met him, he said, you 418 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: could text me, call me, email me anytime. I'll be 419 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: available to you to help you from nine am or 420 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: excuse me, eight am until six pm Monday through Friday. 421 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: After six pm, I don't answer. I don't return calls, 422 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: I don't text. And this guy has a job that 423 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: he's in demand, and they have ten or twelve homes 424 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: they are working on, and people will have emergencies, they 425 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: have things they need, and he just sets the boundary 426 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: right at the beginning, like, hey, I'm very available, that's 427 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: my job to be available to you. But after six pm, 428 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: it's family time, it's Rob time. Everything shut off. And 429 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: guess what, since he told me that, I never forget. 430 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: I've never forgotten that he told me that, And every 431 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: once in a while, I'm thinking, Oh, are they bringing 432 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: the whatever materials tomorrow? I need to be able to 433 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: meet them to open the gate. I look at my 434 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: watch and it's six o four, and I guess what, 435 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: I don't text him because I remember the dude set boundaries, 436 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: and so instead of texting him at six o four, 437 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: now I got to text him at eight am because 438 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: that's the rule. That's what he established. And I don't 439 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: dislike him because of that, you know, I actually respect 440 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: and respect him more. Yeah, and he doesn't have that's 441 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: great that he told you to that. But you don't 442 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: even have to tell people that. You just set the standard, 443 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: like you just don't respond. Yeah, and they get the 444 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: hint after a while that, hey, I can't call Tyler 445 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: at seven pm because it's you know, that's his never 446 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: that's not word time or whatever. Yeah, all right, let's 447 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: take a break. We'll be right back.

That's up to you. I 570 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: don't really know. We had so many for so long, 571 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: just sitting on the shelves, and then we finally sort 572 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: of found them and said, hey, why are these not on? 573 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: And so we put them all on and they sold out, 574 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: And to be honest, I don't even remember how or 575 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: who we ordered them from yeah, back in the day 576 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 1: that those pockets of pesos and don't listen to the 577 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: radio are so old that goes back.

If we want when 584 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: the good guys Win or Remington, you know, any of 585 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: the newer, newer albums, than it's super easy.

I'm from 590 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: North Carolina. I have a few questions. Where do you 591 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: see yourself in ten years with your channel and your family. Also, 592 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: when you were a child, did you ever dream about 593 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: being a singer songwriter? And if not, what were your 594 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: dreams as a young boy. I'm fourteen years old. I 595 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: love watching your videos and my dream is to be 596 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: a sheriff in the small town I live in. And 597 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: I pulled this question because I just thought it's cool 598 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: for me and you Tyler to talk to a fourteen 599 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: year old boy that's actually a podcast listener. It seems crazy, right, 600 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: but I know there's a lot of young people that 601 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: listen to this podcast. There's all demographics that listen. But 602 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool that a fourteen year old I was 603 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: listening to a podcast like this. And it's also cool 604 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: because when kind of relevant to your question, Caleb, and 605 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: by the way, shout out to North Carolina. I was 606 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: fourteen when I started playing guitar. That was a big 607 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: age for me. That was impactful. What did you do 608 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: when you're fourteen that you still that still matters to football? 609 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: For what thing? That's a hell? So that was probably 610 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: seventh or eighth grade, right, that's where you started. I 611 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: think it's eighth grade. I think it's eighth grade. So 612 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: what could we tell Caleb if he's fourteen now and 613 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: his dream is to be a sheriff in the small 614 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: town he lives in. Because dreams are kind of crafted 615 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: at this age and reality really that starts the motion 616 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: at this age, you know. Then The reason I say 617 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: is because you're nine or ten or eleven or twelve, like, yeah, 618 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: you could be wanted to be a pro baseball player, 619 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: I get it. But when you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, 620 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: your life is starting to take shape, and decisions you 621 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: make now start to matter, not saying that you could 622 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: make bad decisions and not recover, but they start to matter. 623 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: And I say a lot here that I don't believe 624 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: in hard, clear cut goals ten year, five year, twenty 625 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: year goals. I believe not that they're not important, but 626 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 1: I believe more in setting your highest intention day by day. 627 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: So you say, Caleb, I want to be I want 628 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: to be the best version of me right now here, today, 629 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: this year, in the course of twenty twenty one. And 630 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: as you as that culminates and months go by and 631 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: years go by, and you're always striving to be the 632 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: best version of you, striving for the highest intention, then 633 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: your goals and your dreams evolve and new opportunities open 634 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 1: that you never would have thought. So then you say, 635 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: what does that even mean? Like, what is that some 636 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:12,720 Speaker 1: philosophical mumbo jumbo that it means that when you brush 637 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: your teeth and the toothpaste hits the floor. You get 638 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: that little paper towel right then, and you wipe the 639 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: floor on that toothpaste and you make it perfect again, right. 640 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean, like that's is when you make your bed, 641 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: you make the corners, you take that extra five seconds 642 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: and tuck the corner in a little tighter. And if 643 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: you apply those little, those little details to your life 644 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,840 Speaker 1: at fourteen, Caleb, you're going to be the greatest sheriff 645 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: your little town has ever seen by the time you're older. Yeah, 646 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: I think my advice would be the most important thing 647 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: I would say is don't listen to anybody but yourself. 648 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: You know. You know I've been lucky to and I 649 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,439 Speaker 1: think the reason that I'm where i am and same 650 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: with you being a singer, is so many people throughout 651 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: your life. You know, when we're all young, we want 652 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: to be a sheriff or a fireman, or an astronaut 653 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: or a police officer, you know, all these big dreams 654 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: of whatever. You know, a professional football player, whatever you 655 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: want to be. Don't let anybody tell you that you 656 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: can't do that. You know, stay strong in your convictions 657 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: and listen to your gut, because you know society will 658 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: try to conform you you know, to go to school, 659 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: get a nine to five job, do this, and do that. 660 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: And I was lucky enough ever since I was little, 661 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 1: to not believe in all those things and take the 662 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: other road and be different than what everybody else was doing. 663 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: So be different. And you know, don't let anybody tell you. 664 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: Don't let them say, you know, you can't be a 665 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: sheriff in this town because you know, this kid is 666 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: grandfather di in when his grandfather was sheriff, and he's 667 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: going to get it like no, like you go get it. 668 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: You know. Please tell them about crabs in a bucket. Yeah, 669 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: Crabs in a bucket is basically an analogy where you know, 670 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: if you're ever fishing on the beach or something. I 671 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: don't know if any of y'all can relate, but we 672 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: used to fish, like in South Padre and all these places, 673 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: you know, with our dad when we were younger. But 674 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: if you have a five gallon bucket and you put 675 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: crabs in there, you know, and we used to go 676 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: catch them at night. They all try to get out, 677 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: but you don't ever have to put a lid on 678 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,399 Speaker 1: it because they won't ever get out. And the reason 679 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: they won't get out is because the other crabs, when 680 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: one's about to get over the lid, will always reach up, 681 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: grab it and pull it back. And so it's a 682 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: cool analogy with that's what people try to do to 683 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: you and your dreams. If you try to get out 684 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: and go say I'm going to go be a sheriff, 685 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: you know, there's going to be a lot of people 686 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: that tell you why you can't do that or you 687 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: can't follow your dream and you just can't listen to them. 688 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: This kind of started when or the first time I 689 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,720 Speaker 1: heard that analogy from Tyler is when I got an 690 00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:02,280 Speaker 1: hateful a hateful email to this podcast, to Grangersmith podcast 691 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,839 Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. I got a hate email and 692 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: what was that about? I don't remember what subject that 693 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: was about why he was hating them. Basically, I think 694 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: he was saying that you're getting too big for your briches. 695 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: You know, you know you oh, oh, it was it 696 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: was an email. It was a hate email about why 697 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 1: am I collabing with big YouTubers to make videos when 698 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: I should be remembering my roots and with small, small 699 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: town people, you like, people that don't have a YouTube 700 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,760 Speaker 1: channel instead of trying to grow the channel and getting 701 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: with like the Demomats and the Kentucky Ballistics and Fishing 702 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: with Flair Whistling Diesel. Stay away from those guys that 703 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 1: are actually having success and go to the people that 704 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 1: don't have anything going on. And I did, he was saying. 705 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: He was claiming, I was doing this because I'm too 706 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,800 Speaker 1: big for my bridges now, and I showed it to 707 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: Tyler and because I always feel like and you guys 708 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: could definitely comment below correct me if I'm wrong, because 709 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm always wanting to hear criticism and hear advice. But 710 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, I truly try to build this the best 711 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: content I can for the entertainment of my viewers. And 712 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: guys like Demo Maat and Lunkers and Whistling Diesel, you know, 713 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: like them or not, like their personalities are not. They 714 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,280 Speaker 1: have built from nothing from they were at once nothing. 715 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: They were nobody's that built a channel, like like we 716 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: all came from nothing. They built a channel to encapsulate 717 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 1: a greater audience and keep growing to give people quality entertainment. 718 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: So that you know, my goal when I make a 719 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,879 Speaker 1: funny video or an Earl Dibble's video is to take 720 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: your mind off the world for three minutes that's my 721 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 1: I want to contribute so that you can go man. 722 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 1: For three minutes, I watched this video and I laughed, 723 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: or I watched these guys mudding in a truck and 724 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 1: I thought it was great, and for three minutes I 725 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: forgot that I actually am really stressed today. So I 726 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: look at that as a positive thing. So it's funny 727 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:20,879 Speaker 1: because I was showing Tyler this email of this guy 728 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: that's like, you're doing it all wrong, You're too big 729 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: for your breeches, and Tyler goes, a guy's a crab 730 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: in a bucket, and I was like, he's a crab 731 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: in a bucket, what do you mean. It's such a 732 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: cool analogy that as soon as you in life you 733 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: start you start getting some headway and you're like you're 734 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: almost out, people always want to drag you back to 735 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 1: the bottom of the bucket again. And there's certain personalities. 736 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: There's always those personalities in every town. And we all 737 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: know you're probably as you're listening, you're thinking of somebody 738 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 1: right now, some guy or girl that always wants to 739 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: drag you back down with them, because that's where you belong, 740 00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the bucket. So yeah, Caleb, what 741 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: Tyler is saying is don't worry about those crabs and 742 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,320 Speaker 1: a bucket, buddy, you keep on climbing. Fourteen awesome age 743 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 1: and shout out to North Carolina. Thanks for writing it 744 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: in And ironically, just like that, here comes another one. 745 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: Cody from North Carolina says, I've been listening to your podcast, 746 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: really loving it. I've been taking notes on how to 747 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,760 Speaker 1: make it, especially just starting one like this for myself. 748 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: This podcast has been a blessing and inspiration to me. 749 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: And there are so many questions I have, but I 750 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: want to ask just one. How do I convert my life, 751 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: family way of living to be a full time musician? 752 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 1: I understand it takes time, but bills don't stop, and 753 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 1: I have a family to take care of, but overall 754 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: I have a dream. Yee ye. Cody from North Carolina 755 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: once again shout out to North Carolina. That's two in 756 00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 1: a row. I did not mean to do that. So Tyler, 757 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,879 Speaker 1: very successful music manager, what would you tell Cody who 758 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: has a family and a dream at the same time, 759 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 1: how to balance it? Two? What was the question? His 760 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 1: question is? How do I convert my life, family way 761 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: of living to be a full time musician? I understand 762 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 1: it takes time, but the bills don't stop. And have 763 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: a family to take care of. But overall, I have 764 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 1: a dream. Yeah, I mean that's you're you're going to 765 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: answer that one what you always tell people with amber, 766 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: like if that's his dream, like it's your dream and 767 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 1: your calling, and you know the road is where you 768 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 1: find purpose, like your wife needs that and once you 769 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 1: wants that for a man, like a man needs that 770 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: drive and that person that purpose in those goals. Right, 771 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: And so if that's what his dream is, then he 772 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: has to go do it. And his wife understand and 773 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: you want that, she must want him to stay there 774 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: and be a prison of not pursuing his dream. That's 775 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 1: exactly where. So yeah, that's what i'd say, Cody, is 776 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: that first, there's two parts of this question to two 777 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: ways for me to answer it. And the first way 778 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: is you owe it to your family. Unlike you're probably thinking, 779 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 1: you owe it to your family to be able to 780 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 1: pursue your wildest dreams because if you don't, you become 781 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,919 Speaker 1: a prisoner of a life that you didn't get to live. 782 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 1: And you're you're going to be more absent minded with 783 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 1: your family. You're going to be a little distant. It's 784 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 1: not a good example to your kids for you to 785 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,880 Speaker 1: say I once had a chance to chase this and 786 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 1: I never did. Well, why is that going to make 787 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 1: them inspired to ever do that in their life if 788 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: dad didn't do it. And so, regardless of if you 789 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: succeed or not, in any kind of dream, you have 790 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,399 Speaker 1: to go in and do it to fall your heart. 791 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: And once again it goes back to a book we 792 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 1: reference all the time called Wild at Heart. How a 793 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 1: man in his heart, in the in the in his essence, 794 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: he wants to follow an adventure and and your wife, 795 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:16,399 Speaker 1: your girl are more attracted to the man. That's that's 796 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 1: actively chasing that adventure. That's attractive. That's that's who you 797 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,919 Speaker 1: are instead of being a slave to your current job. 798 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: All that being said, this is the bad part. This 799 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,680 Speaker 1: is the second part of the answer, and this is 800 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 1: the this is the depressing bad part. Cody, you can't 801 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 1: do it. You can't convert your life in your family, 802 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: we have lived to be a full time musician. Unless 803 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: you go all in. You can't go halfway or you're 804 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: never gonna make it. You're never gonna do anything if 805 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 1: you go halfway. Because there's no time. You couldn't You 806 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: couldn't have told Tom Brady when he was starting that 807 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 1: he wants to be an NFL quarterback and he also 808 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 1: wants to keep another job, and so he needs to 809 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 1: just work out half the day. Work is other job 810 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: half the day. Unfortunately, you can't do that. You gotta go. 811 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: You gotta start now. You got to get up early. 812 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 1: You got to grind, you gotta network, you gotta write songs. 813 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 1: You got to learn an instrument better, perfect it. You 814 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: got to go hound your local venue and start getting 815 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: open mic nights and booking them and playing relentlessly. If 816 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about in this question, there you go. 817 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: If that's not what you're talking about, if you don't 818 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 1: want to give everything you have to this, then dude, 819 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with music as a major hobby and 820 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 1: a big piece of your life. There's nothing wrong with 821 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 1: what we call weekend warriors. That's that's guys that they 822 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,720 Speaker 1: have a life, they have a job, they have a family, 823 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 1: but on the weekends they have a band and they 824 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: go play sets for you know, door money or tips, 825 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 1: and they do it because they love music. They have 826 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,720 Speaker 1: a passion for it. They love playing, they love performing, 827 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,759 Speaker 1: and they get everything they need uh back from that 828 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 1: passion through being playing Fridays and Saturday nights. So hey, 829 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 1: that's those are two very different things. But if you're 830 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: talking about being a star or a full time musician, 831 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 1: meaning you don't have any other income but music, dude, 832 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you, but it's like 833 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: it's like saying I want to drive a NASCAR and 834 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 1: how do I start? Well, you start in the pit 835 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 1: crew right now. You quit everything and you go go 836 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 1: in the pit. You know, you know what I mean. 837 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 1: It's like I want to be an NFL quarterback, I 838 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 1: want to be a I want to be a brain surgeon. 839 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: Brain surgeons devote their whole life to do that. There's 840 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, so, so do you want to do it? 841 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 1: Do you want to do it as a hobby, which 842 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: is awesome and admirable, or do you want to just 843 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: go all in? And I think that's pretty much how 844 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:58,799 Speaker 1: you say it. Yeah yeah, uh yeah, we got we 845 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: got got space for one more. Here it says, hey, grangdeer, 846 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 1: I'm thirty six years old. I've been working in it 847 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,800 Speaker 1: at a university for thirteen years. The money and benefits 848 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: have always been great. Salary has allowed us to pay 849 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 1: off all our debts, including student loans, cars, credit cards, 850 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 1: and mortgage, so we're in a great financial position. However, 851 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 1: I'm a little I felt little satisfaction from this work 852 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 1: I do, and I want a new path to find meaning. 853 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: The longer I stay, the more disgusted I get with 854 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 1: the university and what it stands for. I don't want 855 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: to support it any longer, but I find it tough 856 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: to leave. For lack of a better word, it is 857 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 1: very financially safe. I don't want to continue my current 858 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 1: job for the rest of my life, just working because 859 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: the money's good, when my greatest satisfaction comes from making 860 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: things with my hands. I'm incredibly grateful for God that 861 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,479 Speaker 1: He's provided for me with this job, but staying because 862 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 1: the money's good just seems shallow. I've never been the 863 00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: kind of person who knows their purpose or calling. I 864 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 1: just kind of feel like I'm at a ten way 865 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 1: intersection with no information on which road I should take. 866 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:09,760 Speaker 1: Should I stay with it because it's safe, or should 867 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 1: I leave. I've never it was never my passion, and 868 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 1: this job was never something I wanted. It just fell 869 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: into my lap. So my question is what is your 870 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: advice on how to find one's purpose and how do 871 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:32,880 Speaker 1: you find the courage to pursue it. That's Ken. Well, 872 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,360 Speaker 1: the first thing I'll say is don't leave your job 873 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,360 Speaker 1: right now, you know, especially you know, or you'll start 874 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 1: racking up that debt again, you know, pretty quickly. But 875 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 1: you just got to try new things. He said he 876 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: works with his hands or likes to work with his hands. 877 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: We'll keep doing your job and start working with your hands. 878 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what he does, but start to It's 879 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 1: almost the same answer to the first guy that was 880 00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: asking for investment advice. It's almost like your first investment 881 00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,440 Speaker 1: is a book. Yeah, I mean his first investment like 882 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 1: it should be action, like do whatever he likes doing 883 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: with his hands, Go do it like when he gets 884 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: before he goes to work or when he gets home. Right, 885 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 1: take care of your family, keep paying the bills, and 886 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 1: then see what happens and if you really enjoy it, 887 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 1: you know, the money will the money starts coming in 888 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 1: the then reevaluate in a few years, like you know, 889 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,280 Speaker 1: when it makes sense for you to leave and start 890 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 1: doing that full time. Yeah, I don't really know what 891 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 1: you mean. By working with your hands. But say, for instance, 892 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,479 Speaker 1: you're talking about building custom furniture, which by the way, 893 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 1: is a really awesome market right now, like on Facebook Marketplace, 894 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 1: have you looked, I mean, custom furniture is through the 895 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: roof right now. You could go on Facebook Marketplace and 896 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 1: say like rustic desk or bedframe, and there's a wood worker, 897 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,840 Speaker 1: many of them on Facebook Marketplace, within thirty miles of 898 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 1: you wherever you are. Yeah, pretty much. It's never been 899 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 1: easier than in our time. So for instance, like I said, 900 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,319 Speaker 1: I don't know what you mean by hands, but say 901 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 1: that you're calling you're you can, you're really good at woodworking, 902 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 1: Then keep your job at it. It's good money. And 903 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: get up a little bit earlier, give yourself an extra 904 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,760 Speaker 1: hour and set up your garage, set up your space, 905 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 1: and begin like start like that's the that's the greatest 906 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 1: advice for so many things, like how do you run 907 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,359 Speaker 1: a marathon?

And then on the third day you walk 915 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 1: in and you get your block of wood and you 916 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: build your first piece. And then when you get that 917 00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,719 Speaker 1: first piece, you take pictures of it and you put 918 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,920 Speaker 1: it on Facebook marketplace and you put a price on it, 919 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: and then you see if you could sell it, and 920 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 1: then you sell it, and then you make a second one. 921 00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,200 Speaker 1: All the while you're still working it until you reach 922 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 1: a tipping point where you go, man, actually this Facebook 923 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 1: business is actually starting to make more money than it. 924 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 1: Then you're you're no longer at a ten way intersection, 925 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 1: like you said, you're at a one way intersection, and 926 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 1: you go, hey, this is the way, this is this 927 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:34,040 Speaker 1: is the path. So so yeah, your your questions. So 928 00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,359 Speaker 1: my question is what advice would you have for one 929 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 1: finding one's purpose and how do you find the courage 930 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:45,839 Speaker 1: to pursue it. You're you're looking at purpose as if 931 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:52,759 Speaker 1: it's some massive, universal global plan. That's It's Caleb, our 932 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 1: warehouse manager, always says, it's like you're looking at an 933 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 1: elephant that you need to eat, and how do you 934 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 1: eat an elephant. One bite at a time, you just 935 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 1: take a little bite out of that g massive purpose 936 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,759 Speaker 1: and start with the bite, and then after that bite, 937 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,280 Speaker 1: you take a second bite. So as Jordan Peterson, a 938 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:18,360 Speaker 1: great writer and philosopher, always says, aim low, aim low, 939 00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 1: don't aim so high. The world wants to always say, 940 00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:27,560 Speaker 1: ame big, have big goals, big dreams, big ambitions. That's 941 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 1: cool and that looks awesome on a coffee mug. But 942 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 1: sometimes you just got to aim low and go, I'm 943 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,680 Speaker 1: gonna tomorrow, I'm gonna go in the garage, in that 944 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: corner that's got all the junk piled up, I'm gonna 945 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 1: clean that corner, and that's gonna be my future workspace 946 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,040 Speaker 1: for this new furniture business i'm starting. And then on 947 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 1: day two, when you walk in there and you see 948 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,759 Speaker 1: the perfectly clean corner in your garage, you feel more 949 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,800 Speaker 1: inspired to maybe I'll go to the rustic wood shop 950 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: and buy buy some boards. You know, it's it's basically 951 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: one small bite at a time. And congrats that you 952 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,880 Speaker 1: have a well paying job and you even have this dilemma, 953 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 1: because that's you're in a really good situation. Any more, purpose, 954 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: purpose driven pieces of advice. How about a book? Well, yeah, 955 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: I think he also you know, he also does need 956 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 1: to have big goals though at the same time, or 957 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,399 Speaker 1: a vision of where you think that this could take you. Right, 958 00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,719 Speaker 1: Like the most important thing, like Granger said, was to 959 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 1: take that first step. You know, if you're running a marathon, 960 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 1: you know, the first step is putting your shoes on. Yeah, 961 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 1: but you also need to visualize and take some time 962 00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 1: to think and really concentrate away from everything and no 963 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 1: distractions and be like, what could this be? What you 964 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 1: know and listen to your heart and your gut and 965 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 1: what it's telling you, Like, do I want to be 966 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, do I want to open a furniture furniture store? 967 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:55,879 Speaker 1: Do I want to be the number one furniture store 968 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 1: in the world. Do I want to open just a 969 00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 1: local furniture store. Do I just want to sell on 970 00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 1: mark get places? Do I want to just start asking 971 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 1: you all those questions? Do I just want to do 972 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 1: this as a hobby and then you know, and kind 973 00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: of create a vision of what you think you might 974 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 1: want to do in the end goal and then just 975 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,799 Speaker 1: work backwards from there. Yeah, You're totally right. And to 976 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 1: be clear, I feel like people. When it comes to 977 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: big goals, it's overwhelming and you're getting paralysis when you 978 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 1: look at it. Like certain I think this country suffers. 979 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,919 Speaker 1: Maybe this world suffers from goal paralysis, meaning you set 980 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 1: a goal, you look at it and you go, oh, 981 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 1: that's really big. Yeah, we all do. I don't even 982 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,880 Speaker 1: know where to start. I do every day in real estate. 983 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 1: How am I supposed to do this? Well, maybe I 984 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 1: can call a friend that knows somebody that knows how 985 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: to do it, and I'll ask him, and then maybe 986 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: he knows somebody that you know. So don't don't get 987 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 1: big goal paralysis. Don't let the big goals scare you 988 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,480 Speaker 1: and you don't even know where to start, because then 989 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,800 Speaker 1: you then it's worthless to even have the goal to 990 00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 1: begin with. So again, set your highest intention daily, take 991 00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: small bites, aim low, and pretty soon that mountain you're 992 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 1: climbing get smaller and smaller and smaller. So that's all 993 00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 1: the time we have.
