And I had these 265 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: two little girls at that point three and five, and 266 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: I knew I needed to be a good dad and 267 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: I wanted to be a good father for them, and 268 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 2: so I'm I'm struggling like crazy just to kind of 269 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: know what to do next. And for sure, at that point, 270 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 2: clinically depressed, like struggling to get up off the floor. 271 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 2: There were two big things. My wife left me and 272 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: I didn't become a professional football player, all things that 273 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 2: I thought were going to happen in my life. And 274 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: so I'm just reaching for identity and I'm reaching for 275 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: purpose and value in my life. And and as I 276 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: reached for that, and I tried to figure out that really, 277 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: really I just had emotion and momentum and that's not sustainable. 278 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 2: So literally, this is back in the vh VHS days. 279 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: I'm fifty one years old, so I'm older, but you're 280 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: fifty one fifty one, so boy looks solid.

So I literally put the girls to sleep 283 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 2: one night, came up and popped in the movie Gladiator. 284 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 2: And most guys have seen Gladiator. I just want to 285 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: take my mind off my problems. And it happens to 286 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: be at the scene in the movie where Maximus is 287 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 2: squared off with comedists and he's fighting as this anonymous 288 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 2: gladiator and he turns around to walk away from comtists 289 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: and commonist says, hey, you know, gladiator, turn around, how 290 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: do you turn your back on me, and he wants 291 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: to know his name. Maximus turns around. You know what 292 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: I'm talking about. The scene flips off his helmet. My 293 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: name is Maximus Arelius, decimiss General the Felish Legions. And 294 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 2: he goes to this process of defining himself. I'm sitting 295 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: on a couch in my house, love on Colorado, depressed 296 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: out of my brain, and I don't know where to 297 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 2: go next. And I say to myself, I'm a writer, 298 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: I'm a journalism guy. Well, this is a movie. I 299 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: get it. But in his darkest hour, he just he 300 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 2: just said this is who I am, this is what's 301 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: purpose in my life, and this is what I'm going 302 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: to do. And I thought, well, I'm going to do that. 303 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: I don't know what else to do, but I'm going 304 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: to do that. In that moment, in that moment when 305 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: something started to click for you, that's the revelation to me. 306 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: I don't own any of these beliefs. I don't really 307 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: know who the hell I am. I'm stuck in a 308 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 2: ton of emotion. What I'm twenty three, I'm twenty four, 309 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: twenty four, twenty five? So when when?

I went to 312 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: the University of Northern Colorado. The later half of my career. 313 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 2: I started at Colorado, got suspended, kicked out of school, 314 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: went to jail the end of more on, and then 315 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: I transferred to the University of Northern Colorado, and then 316 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: I played there. 317 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: And you still thought you were going to continue to 318 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: play ball after college. 319 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 2: That was realistic. Either that or played baseball. That was 320 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: an opportunity that I would have. And are you Are 321 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: you married in college? Yeah?

Yeah, and 344 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: if I don't play football, I'm gonna play baseball. Right now, 345 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: We're gonna go do something. And then just the real 346 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: realization of knowing what and there were I wasn't mentally 347 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: tough enough to be that guy looking back now through 348 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: a lot of things that I wasn't good enough. I 349 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: was athletically capable enough, but not in my mind. I 350 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: wasn't and didn't really understand who I was and couldn't 351 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: just be present in a lot of things that happened. 352 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 2: So just all of that crashing down in that moment, 353 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: and then this realization that I don't really know who 354 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: I am and this idea of identity I've got to 355 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: figure out what's real about who I am? Before I 356 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: try to work at what to do. Let's not aim 357 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: at what to do next. Let's just take a stop 358 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: a moment and let's figure out, well, what is generally 359 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 2: believe in? Yeah, regardless of whatddy, But anybody else on 360 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: the planet thinks? What do I believe in? And what 361 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 2: am I willing to get up and move forward based on? 362 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Yeah? Oh yeah, I think. 363 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: I think that's what happens with a lot of guys 364 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: in sports. And I only say sports because I play. 365 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 2: I play. 366 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 3: I've played a sport my whole life. Yeah, work, first grade? 367 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 2: Is how old? Like eight years old or six, seven, 368 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: eight years old? Whatever? 369 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 3: You grow all guessing here, but you play a sport 370 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 3: from a very early age. 371 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 2: So like for me, for instance. 372 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 3: You start at seven eight years old and you train 373 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: basically to I was an older guy too, till twenty three, right, 374 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 3: twenty three minus eight? 375 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 2: What is that fifteen years? 376 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 3: You train fifteen years to go after one goal or 377 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 3: one dream, right, being an NFL player, And when the 378 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 3: reality sets in that the average career in the NFL 379 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 3: is three years, you train fifteen years of your entire 380 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 3: life for a career that lasts on average three years. 381 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 3: I've been very fortunate to I'm in my seventh right 382 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: now on kind of the quote unquote back end of 383 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 3: my career, not knowing when it all land, and fortunately 384 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 3: it's always kind of sunk in with me that I 385 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 3: got to find a transition point, because when it's taken 386 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 3: away from you, you do go through this transitional period 387 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 3: of what in the you know, what do I do next? 388 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 3: And if you don't pivot yeah and know and are 389 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: strong and kind of your identity with something.

Because we think as athletes we're going 393 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 3: to either pinnacle or oh what am I going to 394 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 3: be a sales guy? There's nothing that you're You're all 395 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 3: in on this one goal that you live. Knock on wood, 396 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: hopefully we all live to like ninety, right, we haven't 397 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 3: even lived one third of our life, and this goal 398 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 3: we've trained for for fifteen years is going to be 399 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 3: gone whenever we get out of college. And a lot 400 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: of guys struggle when that happens, or in the NFL 401 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 3: when a lot of guys. You see guys that go 402 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 3: bankrupt within five years because they struggle figuring out their identity. 403 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 3: And it's interesting to me that you were in that 404 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 3: period for a year where you didn't make it. 405 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 2: To the league. 406 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 3: And I'm just assuming, like Jim and I just met 407 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 3: like twenty minutes ago, just assuming that that stuff kind 408 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 3: of played a role into. 409 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 2: Your wife leaving the question question. 410 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 3: And then you're sitting there in your darkest time and 411 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 3: some damn movie sits and clicks with you at some point. 412 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 3: I think that's like I always get very interested with guys, man, 413 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: because the mentality is what matters in those periods of time, 414 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 3: because yeah, I'm a football player now, but when that's done, 415 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 3: am I capable? 416 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: That's why guys have to dabble in what might. 417 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 3: Interest him, because now they're going to slip into something 418 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 3: that is not good. 419 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 2: If you if at a certain point your athletic career 420 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: will end, yeah, at a certain to be certain point, 421 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 2: and it does for everybody, whether it's fifteen years or 422 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: yeah or two you're going to retire either in high school. 423 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,479 Speaker 2: We know the tire in college, right, we know that 424 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: that's happening. This is this is where I never I 425 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: never taught Rich Phoning one thing about CrossFit. He was 426 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: a he's a multiple games champion. Had that dialed in? 427 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: Where where Rich had any time? Right? Yeah, total between 428 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 2: the individual and team. I mean, when it comes to 429 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 2: that world, that's the guy. What was valuable working through 430 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 2: the Mayhem mindset process what we call the Mayhem mindset 431 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: process now, was well, CrossFit is not his identity, it's 432 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 2: what he does. And so I know that at a 433 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: certain point that's going to end. So what am I 434 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 2: aiming at after that? And I need to start to 435 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: create that thought process and plan for that in the future. 436 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: And if professional football is all you are, you're in 437 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: trouble because it's going to come to an end at 438 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: certain point. And so that that was the space that 439 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: I found myself in. And then what I really realized 440 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 2: was that I had to separate this idea of identity 441 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 2: from what I do, and in the culture we live in, 442 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: that gets really blurred. So I call it, you know 443 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: I want to. I don't. I'm not a traditional mindset 444 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: rah rah, motivational guy as not at all. What I 445 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: do my responsible is to Really, because of what I 446 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: went through, I created a process for somebody to sit 447 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 2: down and really decide who they were and what they 448 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 2: believed in. 449 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: What made you start creating that process? And now I 450 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 3: know the Gladdy that moment you decided, Okay, I got 451 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 3: to get my shit together and I'm immediately taking accountability 452 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 3: for literally everything that's happened in my life. 453 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: How do you start to figure out a process? Right? 454 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 3: And then from that process that we'll get into how 455 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 3: you started to put together a formula to help other people. 456 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: Here's what I heard Maximus say. He stated what his 457 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 2: purpose was, so I heard it. He was clear about 458 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: who he was and what his purpose was on the planet. 459 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: Then he talked about what he believed in, which was 460 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: values or beliefs or however you want to call it, 461 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 2: first principles, and then he said, this is what I'm 462 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 2: going to do. Yeah, so it's who I am, this 463 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: is what I believe in, either in this life or 464 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: the next life. I'm going to have my revenge. You know, 465 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: That's kind of how he phrased it. So I said, okay, 466 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: wait a second, let me figure out what purpose is. 467 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 2: Let's let's let's create a list of authentic beliefs in 468 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 2: my life that I really believe in that are mine. 469 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: And then I'm gonna hold myself accountable by writing myself 470 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 2: a mission statement, now what I call your I Am, 471 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: which is a purpose statement, your I believe, which is 472 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: this idea of whatever it is you believe in, and 473 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 2: then and then what you're gonna do to hold yourself accountable? 474 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 2: And so I went through six months worth of just 475 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 2: beginning to write, all right, well, why in the hell 476 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 2: am I on this planet? Because it sure isn't play football, 477 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: because that ain't happen. So that's that's something that I 478 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 2: that I thought I was going to do. But that's 479 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: not the same as really what I believe in. I 480 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: need to separate that out and it's not the same 481 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: as what I feel. Whatever these things are that I'm 482 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 2: supposed to believe in have to be big rocks. They 483 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: have to be immovable in my life regardless of how 484 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 2: I feel. There are things I'm supposed to anchor to. So, 485 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 2: so if I believe in family, well what what is 486 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 2: the real definition of that? You know? What do I? 487 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: And so? And so I went through a process of 488 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: really reaching out and defining this idea of values that 489 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 2: represented my strengths, my weaknesses, and then my goals. 490 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 3: If you don't mind sharing, could you give examples that 491 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 3: you were writing in this initial period that you were 492 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 3: going to kind of go after Yeah, I guess until 493 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 3: you got to the point it's where it's like, hey, 494 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 3: I found this system that you have an experience label 495 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 3: with you now to kind of attract people to. 496 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: Want to, you know, follow your stuff. Yeh. When I 497 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: started out what is now kind of eleven challenges in 498 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 2: a process. I don't tell anybody what to believe. That's 499 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: not my job. You believe whatever it is you want 500 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 2: to believe. But I but I am asking you to 501 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: be able to defend it to yourself. If it's not 502 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 2: in language, it's not a tool, right. Think about it. 503 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 2: On the football field, you could say a bunch right, 504 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: and you could call it coverage. And if you don't 505 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 2: know what that is that language specifically, you can't do it. 506 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 2: You can't crossfits the same way you know what an 507 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 2: am rap is, You're in trouble. So if you don't 508 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: have language for your beliefs and it's not something that 509 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 2: you can really actively communicate, it's not really real. Man. 510 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 2: Your choices and decisions are going to be based mostly 511 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 2: on momentum or emotion. There's nothing wrong with momentum, and 512 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with emotion. That's a fire starter, but 513 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 2: it's not sustainable fuel. We're gonna find ourselves in places 514 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: where our emotions betray us absolutely, and that happens to everybody. 515 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: So and that's the way we're designed by the way 516 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: we feel first, that's the first part of our brain 517 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 2: that kicks in, and then we think second. So understanding 518 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 2: that acknowledging it. So I went through a process of 519 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 2: separating my emotions from what I believed. And so now 520 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 2: I call it your B capital b E, Values, Talents 521 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: and Purpose. I want you to be able to have 522 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 2: some sort of idea about what that means and then 523 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: be able to say it so that it's authentic, don't 524 00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: bs me. 525 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 3: And then I make yourself accountable by making the invisible 526 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 3: like heard and divisible. 527 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 2: I wrote a code for my life. Literally. I called 528 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: it the Strengthen Honor Code, after what Maximus said. I 529 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 2: had a tattoo artist draw me a cress. I tattooed 530 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: it on my arm, and every decision was filtered from 531 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 2: that point on through the Strengthen Honor Code. It was 532 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 2: not for anybody, and I could quote it. My name is, 533 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: this is who I am, This is what I believe, 534 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: This is what I believe in fight, work, hope, faith, team, family, excellence, purpose, responsibility, love, 535 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: and freedom, all clearly defined. I said it fast, and 536 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean anything to you, but it's very profound 537 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 2: in my life. Yeah. And then an I will statement 538 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 2: or a mission statement that represented me. And then it 539 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: was boiled down to something on my arm so I 540 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: could look down and say, Jim, is there any strength 541 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 2: and honor in that? Meaning? What I believe is purpose, 542 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: what I believe in my values, and what I'm said 543 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to do. That was very well thought out 544 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 2: and in language, but it gave me a fighting chance 545 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 2: now to move my life forward. Instead of momentum and emotion, 546 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: I knew who the hell I was and I could 547 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: apply it if I wanted to. So instead of being 548 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: a guy who who was kind of foggy and wasn't 549 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: real clear about what I believed, I was a dude 550 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: who really knew and was accountable. So my challenge now 551 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: was a little bit different than a lot of people's. 552 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 2: It was would I and will I live the way 553 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 2: I said I would believe instead of staying in the 554 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 2: state of confusion, right, staying in that state of emotions. 555 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: And that's what I realized too. 556 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 4: I thought before we started working together, I thought I 557 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 4: was a pretty defined guy. 558 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: You know, I know what I believe in. I know 559 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: what my values are. 560 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 4: I know, and I thought, which most of us do 561 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 4: as confident, you know, confident people who I try to 562 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 4: do the right things. I think I know a lot 563 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 4: about life than a lot of people do. Until I 564 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 4: started going into this process and started to realize, just 565 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 4: like I lift weights and I flex these muscles with 566 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 4: every single rep, now I'm flexing my mental muscles and 567 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 4: my identity. You know, because you know when you when 568 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 4: you guys are talking about okay, ball is over, that's 569 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 4: your darkest hour. That's when you realize, that's when you realize, okay, 570 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 4: that's that this is the darkest hour. 571 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: Who am I? Am I enough? 572 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 4: Because that's what we always talked about the you know, 573 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 4: the first time we sat down, we pretty much talked 574 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 4: in essence, this process is your greatest moment of opportunity 575 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 4: or your darkest hour? 576 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: Am I enough? And for me as an athlete still. 577 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 4: Continuing to compete, I am just as much focused on 578 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 4: at my greatest moment of opportunity, because I I haven't 579 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 4: had a lot of horrible things happen to me. I 580 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: haven't been down. And we're not talking clinical depression in 581 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 4: my case. We're talking, you know, I want to get better, 582 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 4: and we're talking about winning multiple world titles. We're talking 583 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 4: about going down as one of the greatest of all time. 584 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: I want to. 585 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: I want to be able to. I want to be 586 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: able to pull. I want to be able to pull 587 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: that out of me. 588 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 4: And I realize after going through this process, the hurdles 589 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 4: I've had to go through, this small mind, the small 590 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 4: thinking that I've had to go through, the things that 591 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,479 Speaker 4: are that have been holding me back as well as 592 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 4: the things that are to propel me forward. So at 593 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 4: the greatest, your greatest moment of opportunity, you can say, yes, 594 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 4: I am enough, Let's go get that, Let's go take that. 595 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 596 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys are talking about like being very clear 597 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 3: in who you believe and how you're defining these characteristics 598 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 3: of yourself. Now when you were doing this right, it 599 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 3: sounds awesome. And I'm talking from a point of people 600 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 3: listening right now that are like, Okay, it's going to 601 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 3: be as simple as being very clear and writing shit down. 602 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 2: Which you should. You should write shit down. 603 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 3: You're when you make the invisible visible, it's a lot 604 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 3: more powerful because you're putting it out in the universe. 605 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 2: Creative power in writing. 606 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 3: Right now, you're doing this from step one, the beginning. 607 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 3: Right now, you're fifty one, you're proven, you've got these clients, 608 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 3: but in the beginning, you're writing this shit out right 609 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 3: Like me, I've said this before on another podcast, like Okay, 610 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 3: you want to write I want to be I am 611 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 3: a Pro Bowl linebacker? Or what does a pro linebacker 612 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 3: do on a daily basis? And I'm writing pro linebacker? 613 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: Or when I was undrafted it's like be a starter 614 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 3: on the Washington Redskins. You're getting clear, but you have 615 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 3: doubt at the same time. 616 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 2: So here's the key. Here's the key in what we're 617 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 2: doing here. And this is what happened to me, And 618 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: this is very fundamental to this being something that matters 619 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: and works. Right, I'm not talking about what you're going 620 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 2: to do, the task or the emotion. I want to 621 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 2: separate that out. Be a Pro Bowl linebacker is that 622 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 2: goal that you're aiming at and it's valid. Prior to 623 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 2: thinking about that, I really want to take you back 624 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 2: to really understanding identity. What is it inside you that 625 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: gives you the ability and or the right to be 626 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: that pro bowl? Right? Gotcha? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? And I 627 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 2: want to go all the way back to what's purpose 628 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: in your life? And I want to I want to 629 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: I want to define that in a word, got you? 630 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: And then I want to talk about values. I want 631 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: to I want to create a platform of strength to 632 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 2: operate from, so that whatever it is you decide to do, 633 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 2: you're bringing identity to it, right, not just the goal. 634 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with the goal. We got to have them, yes, 635 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 2: and we got to put that in language that's really important. 636 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 2: But so many people chase the do in our culture. Right, 637 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 2: let me try this. All that didn't work? Well, let 638 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: me try this, I didn't work. Let me try this, 639 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 2: Well that didn't work. Hold on, right. 640 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 3: I want you to explain the vulnerable, kind of scary 641 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 3: side when you do write these big ass goals in mind. Right, 642 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 3: and then it's like, okay, Jim, in the very beginning, 643 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 3: Now you're writing this huge goal and you're trying to 644 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 3: carry it out, and you still have some vulnerability thinking 645 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 3: am I worth telling this to people? 646 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 2: Did you? 647 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: You presumably had some kind of doubt when you're writing 648 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: this in real like I'm gonna be one of the 649 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: best to do it, right, There's still something in you 650 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: when you are writing the purpose and the characteristics and 651 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 3: all this stuff that's like, why do you deserve that? 652 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 3: You're still have a little anxiety to talk about it 653 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 3: out loud because you know you're doing it because you 654 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 3: need to, but telling it to other people and talking 655 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: about it front other people do it in a way 656 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 3: it is where it's like. 657 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 2: Man, are they doubting me? You know what I mean? 658 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 2: Sure you have that stuff in the beginning. 659 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 3: Now now it's like we're proven dudes, right right, and 660 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 3: you can kind of talk about it easier. But in 661 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: the beginning you're gonna have doubt in thinking what makes 662 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 3: me deserve this? 663 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 2: In mind? Right? So what Michael said, this whole the 664 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 2: whole idea in my heart started from the question what 665 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: I wanted to do is I wanted to strip myself 666 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: all the way of everything. I wanted to put myself 667 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 2: in Maximus's position. If you if you watch the movie right, 668 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 2: everything had been taken to him. He was a general, 669 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: had been taken from him, his wife was killed. He's 670 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 2: in this spot where he's a slave, and the only 671 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 2: reason why he's fighting is for what he believed in, 672 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: not that it felt good, not that he was respected. 673 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: He wasn't any of those things, right, It was just 674 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 2: only about who he was as a man. One of 675 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 2: the goat movies, right for sure. And so I wanted 676 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: to put myself in that spot. And what I realized was, well, 677 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 2: what was the what was the one question that kept 678 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: coming from my heart? Well, the one question was am 679 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 2: I enough? Am I just an f and loser? Now? Yeah, 680 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: that happens. It happens for It's important for people to 681 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: know that that happens. It happens to everybody, and and 682 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 2: it happens all the time. That's to be human emotional. 683 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: And if it hasn't happened, it is the inevitable if. 684 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 4: You are not clearly defined as as because I was, so, 685 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 4: we haven't really talked about fighting goals. We haven't talked 686 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 4: about all big goals. Honestly, I just want to figure 687 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,479 Speaker 4: out who I am. 688 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:27,959 Speaker 3: Right. 689 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 4: I'm a kid from high Ridge, Missouri, you know, And 690 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 4: and now I've gotten this this platform to be able 691 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 4: to be who I am and i'm but I still 692 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 4: am trying to figure it out preemptively as a precaution 693 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 4: because when fighting ends, I want to mitigate the risk 694 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 4: of that darkestyle. I want to mitigate the risk of 695 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 4: if I lose my next three fights and I'm done, 696 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 4: who am I? Where am I going? 697 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: What am I doing? 698 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 2: You're going to struggle for a minute, man, what you're 699 00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: doing should have zero bearing on identity, exactly right. It shouldn't. 700 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 2: In your greatest moment of opportunity or in the darkest hour, 701 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 2: You're still the same dude. You still believe the same things. 702 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 2: Let me take everything away from you that you have. 703 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 2: You know, and I don't know anything about you personally. 704 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, let's take your money, let's take your wife, 705 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 2: let's take your job, Let's put you in that spot. 706 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 2: And then you then tell me, are the things that 707 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 2: you believe in? Horseshit at that point? Or is it real? Right? 708 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 2: Tell me what that is? And so here I am 709 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: face down, depressed, and I'm like, man, if I'm going 710 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 2: to get up and come forward, it's got to be 711 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: real or what's at worth? And so the point of 712 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 2: the process is to put you, at least mentally in 713 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,239 Speaker 2: a space where we separate the do. I don't care 714 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: about your job. I don't care about your goals and ishit. 715 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 2: I don't want to know about any of that. Really, 716 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: what I want you to do is just tell me 717 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,959 Speaker 2: who you are and what you believe, and let's come 718 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 2: up with that idea first. It's just like the fundament 719 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 2: what position line linebackers read your keys, man, I need 720 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 2: you to do is read your keys for your life. Right, 721 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 2: That's what I want you to be able to do 722 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 2: before the snap of the ball. How intelligent you are 723 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 2: before the do Are you intelligent and well versed and 724 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 2: have language for your life? 725 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 3: And when you say have language you're talking about you're talking. 726 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 3: This is where writing stuff down comes into play, because 727 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 3: I truly like, I love this stuff and I want 728 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 3: I want people to have takeaways. Right, everybody listening, like 729 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 3: when he's explaining this stuff, try and think about. 730 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 2: Some shit in your own life. 731 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 3: And when he's talking about language and saying all these 732 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 3: questions like maybe you're sitting in the car right now 733 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 3: or listening to this pot or watching it at home. 734 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 3: I don't know, but like, if you want to take 735 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 3: this stuff away. I'm trying to ask all these questions 736 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 3: so we can give. 737 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 2: To you guys think about Let's think about your strongest beliefs. 738 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 2: Let's just do it right here, right now, Michael Chandler, 739 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 2: name three core values in your life. 740 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 4: Core values, strongest beliefs, fight family, authenticity. 741 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 2: Now, when I go into a classrooms at a university, 742 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 2: or I'm I talked in front of three hundred doctors 743 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 2: the other day, and I challenge them, name a core 744 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 2: value in your life, because we don't have this conversation 745 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 2: this way in our culture. Mostly we're talking about motivation 746 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 2: and we're looking at guys to motivate us, which is cool, 747 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with it, but we can you waste 748 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 2: motivation if you don't know who you are. Motivation is 749 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 2: a fantastic tool if you can apply it to who 750 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 2: you are as a human being. But so many people 751 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 2: are chasing motivation. I want to know who he is. 752 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 2: Quiet still, outside of all to do, I go into 753 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 2: a classroom and I'll ask, you know, a somebody name 754 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 2: a core value, and it gets super quiet. They don't 755 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 2: really know what I'm talking about. So I gotta try 756 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 2: to describe it a couple of different ways. 757 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 3: Because people are probably processing, like shit, what for sure, 758 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 3: I'm sitting here talking, I'm like, man, sure I got 759 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 3: to be able to name three If you ask me 760 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 3: here in a second, you know what I mean. 761 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 1: And it's that you're trying to I mean. 762 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 4: And we've we've worked so hard of the last couple 763 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 4: weeks with these definitions, and I've changed the definitions fifteen 764 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 4: different times and a lot of times. And that's why 765 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 4: you talk about he went fight tape tape all of 766 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 4: his things. His definition is different. My definition of fight 767 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 4: is probably different than you think it is. My definition 768 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 4: of authenticity is probably similar to what you think it 769 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 4: might be. But the reasoning behind the definition all has 770 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 4: to go back to my shortcomings mentally and emotionally, from 771 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 4: the scars of my past, from the from the things 772 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 4: that have held me back. Authenticity isn't just so I 773 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 4: can put my best foot forward and be my best self. 774 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 4: My being authentic in my mind is overcoming the mental 775 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 4: hurdles of the small minded thinking of my past. Therefore, 776 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 4: when I step into a room, I will have the 777 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:47,399 Speaker 4: courage and to be authentic, authentic in front of people. 778 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 4: And it all comes back to the shortcomings that I've had. 779 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 2: There's what I believe in our design. There's all kinds 780 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 2: of things talent wise that are under design. And then 781 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 2: there's nurture in nature, how you were raised, you know, 782 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 2: and and and what all that means. So we all 783 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 2: arrive at this space with different kinds of environments being 784 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 2: put through different things, and so it's important to make 785 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 2: sure that those words, whatever they are, whatever those belief 786 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 2: systems are in your life, they're yours and you own them. 787 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 2: These core values, right, whatever the core values are, okay, 788 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 2: you know whatever that is you say, and I don't 789 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 2: care what it is. They need to represent your strengths. 790 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 2: They need to represent the emotional weaknesses in your life 791 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 2: because we all got them. And then they need to 792 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 2: represent goals or ideals in your life. So they're living 793 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 2: and breathing and you can use them. So many times 794 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 2: I go into a space where people they've never thought 795 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 2: about it, so they don't know what they are, so 796 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 2: it's not really a tool. Or I go into a 797 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 2: environment where they got these mission statements on the walls 798 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 2: and they got all these core values, but it's all 799 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 2: horseshit and nobody really lives them. And especially in a 800 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 2: lot of corporate environments. You can go into a locker 801 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 2: room and there'll be some mission statement on the wall 802 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,720 Speaker 2: and nobody knows what it is or cares. It's not actual, 803 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 2: real philosophy. What we're more concerned about is the process 804 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 2: with the x's and o's, which is important. We need 805 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 2: to be excellent at that, but we need to come 806 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 2: from some sort of philosophical base if we're going to 807 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 2: be one hundred percent of who we're creater to be want. 808 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,720 Speaker 2: If I want the most out of you as an athlete, 809 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 2: I need to care about who you are at the 810 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 2: heart level and as a man, and as your beliefs, 811 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 2: and then I need that connected to process. And if 812 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 2: I have that connected to process, then I got eleven 813 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 2: dudes flying into the ball understanding who they are and 814 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 2: what they believe. And then there's some sort of if 815 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 2: you know who you are and he knows who he is, 816 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 2: and everybody knows who they are, then we can find 817 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 2: that space where our values overlap and that's where strength is. 818 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 2: Or if a coach wants to wants to know whether 819 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 2: he wants you around, that's a nice question to start 820 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,959 Speaker 2: with because there's a lot of x's and o's guys 821 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 2: who are physically capable, but they don't belong in the culture, 822 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, They're just not going to fit. 823 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 2: I don't care how good you are, it doesn't really 824 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 2: make You're not my guy. So understanding that about your life, 825 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 2: not just football or what you're doing, is important. How 826 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 2: you're going to respond to your girlfriend, how you can 827 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 2: respond to. 828 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: Your wife, that filter. 829 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 4: Having a filter, you know, I think that's one of 830 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 4: the biggest things too, Having a filter to live every 831 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 4: single every single scenario that you come into, every single interaction, 832 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 4: every single relationship, there's a there is a inherent filter 833 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 4: that you now have through the practicing of being able 834 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 4: to filter all of these every single scenario through these 835 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 4: coret through your core value, your core. 836 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 3: Values, because when these bad things happen, it's like what 837 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 3: do they say, like or eving. 838 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: Good things five seconds everything happens. 839 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's like a there's like a moment your brain 840 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 3: has that's going to make a decision. Yeah, And you're 841 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 3: trying to create these things to where that's what you 842 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 3: default to in these times of either success or I 843 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 3: guess failure. So you write these core values and then 844 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 3: what's next. So you you're with me and Mike and 845 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 3: we're figuring out our core values. The next time we 846 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 3: meet with you. What comes after these defined core values 847 00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 3: when we talk. 848 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 2: About So the whole entire process is one most importantly 849 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 2: to get you to write. Why write? It's not in language, 850 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 2: it's not a tool. Love it. So I've got to 851 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: get you to put who you are and what you 852 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 2: believe on paper. If you're not disciplined enough to do 853 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 2: some writing, it's not right for you. R I g HD. 854 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 2: The process is not right for you. So we need 855 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 2: to be able to do that. We want to talk 856 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 2: about negative emotions, negative themes, negative stories, and so we 857 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 2: don't start by writing about core values. That comes at 858 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 2: the very end of the process. Okay, What I want 859 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 2: to do is put you through challenges one week at 860 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 2: a time that cause you to gain some new perspective 861 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 2: about your life. That's the idea of the goal. No 862 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 2: different than getting in the gym and working the different 863 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 2: muscles and changing up how you're doing that to strengthen 864 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 2: your body. So that's an example of something you put 865 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 2: them through. Each Each one of the challenges requires you 866 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 2: to be able to go out into your week and 867 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 2: keep this idea front of mind, all right, So one 868 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 2: of them I call the matrix, and I teach I 869 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 2: teach something called the system, feel, filter, think, flow. It's 870 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 2: pretty simple. It's how our bodies work. Olympic brain fires, filter. 871 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 2: I don't know if you've got one. That's this idea 872 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 2: of building the system, core value system, then being able 873 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 2: to think really clearly. Can I get you to be 874 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 2: a critical thinker? Or are you just running all over 875 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,879 Speaker 2: the place. We all know that person, right, Every choice 876 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 2: and decisions made based on emotion. So I want you 877 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 2: to go out into your week and really recognize if 878 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 2: you're making some choices and decisions based on values or 879 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 2: if you're mostly over there in emotion. And each one 880 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 2: of the challenges has a component like that. And the 881 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 2: idea is after eleven weeks, and if I can get 882 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 2: you a little bit off balance, and I can get 883 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 2: you to write a little bit about who you are 884 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 2: and what you believe, then we've got this thread that 885 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 2: goes all the way through the challenges and some writing. 886 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 2: Or we can go back into it and we can 887 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 2: begin to discover what it is you really believe based 888 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 2: on what you've written. 889 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 3: So you're having Craig me if I'm wrong, You're having 890 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 3: them write about these experiences that are happening, whether good 891 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 3: or bad. 892 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 2: You're there, you're just kind of jotting down your kind 893 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 2: of journaling. 894 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, those and those and those first couple of weeks 895 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 4: two were very eye opening, Like that was the first 896 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 4: was the first week, Uh, the power of be the three, 897 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 4: be in spite of what other people think, be in 898 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 4: spite of emotion, and be present. That that first week 899 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 4: for me, the amount of times I wrote down the 900 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 4: how I was not present or how I knew the 901 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 4: week before I was not being present compared to the 902 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 4: next week with my son, with my wife, with conversations, 903 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 4: being present here in this podcast, or even being being 904 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 4: in spite of emotions or being in spite of what 905 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 4: other people think. I caught myself almost taking taking more 906 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 4: leaps of faith to do things outside of what I 907 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 4: would have normally did because I wasn't worried about what 908 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 4: people were thinking as much, or I wasn't worried about, 909 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 4: you know, what people were thinking, what the negative emotions 910 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 4: might have been, or how emotion was driving me rather 911 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 4: than just being me. 912 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 3: Because you're kind of like writing this accountability and you're like, yeah, shit, 913 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 3: I'm not. It's like something as simple as like, okay, 914 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 3: you think you're healthy, will for the next week literally 915 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 3: write down everything you eat and this something simple and 916 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 3: you I've done this before, and you realize like, shit, 917 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 3: I'm not really sticking to the things I've talked about 918 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 3: doing because you see all these small little slip ups 919 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 3: along the way because you're journaling, and you're like shit. 920 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 4: Like yeah, you can mark them up, yeah, and then 921 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 4: you kind of give them back to them and you're 922 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 4: kind of like wanting to erase something. 923 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 2: So you know, if we said doesn't want to see it, 924 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,720 Speaker 2: if we sat down. This process is not for somebody. 925 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 2: And I don't say this in any sort of way 926 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 2: to be negative. I'm a I'm not a therapist. I'm 927 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 2: not a licensed counselor, I'm not any of those kind 928 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 2: of guys. Yeah, this and the process is not some 929 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 2: for somebody who needs that. It needs to be somebody 930 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,359 Speaker 2: who has some awareness about who they are and really 931 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 2: is trying to get next level self awareness to trying 932 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,240 Speaker 2: to stretch yourself a little bit and get detailed about 933 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,320 Speaker 2: your life. That's what's in Sharpen we want to sharpen things, 934 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 2: and so the three b's, Like Michael just explained, well, 935 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,240 Speaker 2: if we sat down and we could in two hours, 936 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 2: we could have created a list of really authentic values 937 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 2: that really meant something to him. But if we don't 938 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 2: create some tools and we don't look for the spaces 939 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 2: to how to use them number one, and we don't 940 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,240 Speaker 2: look for the spaces where there are challenges or opportunities, 941 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 2: then it's not worth anything in the end, and it 942 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,800 Speaker 2: ends up just being something you wrote on a wall. 943 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 2: We end up in the space where lots of people 944 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 2: are in the culture where they say this is what 945 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 2: they believe, but it's not really practical. So we want 946 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 2: to create mindset tools, actual tools, so that you can 947 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 2: put who you are and what you believe in motion. 948 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 2: Your value system should be a force multiplier in your life. 949 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 2: It shouldn't. It shouldn't be a safety net. 950 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: You should. 951 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,360 Speaker 2: I'm interested in dudes who can play offense. Not that 952 00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong defense, but you know what I mean 953 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 2: to you, You know what I mean, And we want to 954 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 2: be able to carry the weight for the people that 955 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 2: we love. I want to stand in the gap for 956 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 2: the people that I'm committed to being there for I 957 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 2: want to make that sacrifice, but I also want to 958 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 2: stay on track regarding my emotions and the things that 959 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 2: I know that will easily distract me. If I don't 960 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 2: have this, Jim Henzel's I'm gonna screw up. I guarantee you. 961 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 3: And you said when you say spaces, you mean like 962 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,839 Speaker 3: these hurdles that come along throughout your week. 963 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 2: Sure, Like, is that what you mean by spaces? 964 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 3: If we don't find the spaces to implement these core 965 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 3: values that we're going to defaul to, are those the things. 966 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 2: You're talking about, We've got to make them working tools, Gotcha. 967 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 2: It's got to be language, and it's got to be 968 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 2: something that we know how to put into action. I'm 969 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 2: just something we write on when those moments are happening. Yeah, 970 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 2: let me let me give you an example. In the 971 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 2: very beginning, after I went through all that that that 972 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 2: emotion and struggle and my wife leaves, I made a commitment. 973 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 2: Now listen, people, this is not about what you believe, 974 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,879 Speaker 2: or you believe or anybody else leaves. I'm talking about 975 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 2: what I believe and how I applied it to my life, sure, 976 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 2: and how I wanted to own it so people can 977 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 2: judge me, however, and they judge me, and I don't care, 978 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 2: don't care. I want that for you too. In my 979 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 2: greatest moment of opportunity, darkest hour, I need to know 980 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 2: who the hell I am, so in that space back 981 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 2: in the day, I decided I wasn't gonna have sex 982 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,240 Speaker 2: with single moms based on my code. Whether you believe 983 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 2: that or not, that's just why I decided I'm gonna 984 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 2: be I'm single right now, and I'm gonna I'm gonna 985 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: come home and take care of these little girls because 986 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 2: that's what I'm supposed to do, and I'm gonna have 987 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 2: to get this right because my mindset is gonna get 988 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 2: me into space where you know, I'm gonna be paying 989 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 2: attention to chasing tail instead of coming home and taking 990 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 2: care of these kids. That was really real for me 991 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 2: in that space at that point in my life as 992 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 2: a bachelor, you know, late twenties, early thirties, and so 993 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 2: I decided, based on my code, that's not what I 994 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 2: was gonna do. If it's a single mom and I 995 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 2: could take advantage of that, I'm not gonna That's not 996 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 2: what I'm going to do. And so that was a 997 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 2: rule I set for myself based on my code so 998 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 2: many many times during those years, and I got myself, 999 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 2: and I won't tell the whole story, but I got 1000 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 2: myself in all kinds of spots where you know, like, man, 1001 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,240 Speaker 2: you can't be here, bro, Like that's against the code. 1002 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 2: There is no strength and honor in what you're saying. 1003 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 2: You're not gonna take advantage of that right now. That's 1004 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 2: not somebody according to your code that you believed. I 1005 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 2: don't want that done to me as a single dad 1006 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 2: out there trying to take care of kids, fighting and 1007 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 2: battling for that, and that's not what I'm going to 1008 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 2: do as a man. That's just not a choice. Even 1009 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,640 Speaker 2: though my emotions say let's get into this, my values 1010 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 2: say hey, no, no, no, let's not take advantage of 1011 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,720 Speaker 2: that right now. And it kept me on a track, 1012 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 2: especially relationship wise, early in those days. That you know, 1013 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 2: allowed me to stay on course and make choices and 1014 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 2: decisions that were based on my values, not just my emotions. 1015 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 2: That's very a simple place that I used at early 1016 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 2: and now twenty years later, it's grown and developed and 1017 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 2: means other things. But that's where I started, and that's 1018 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 2: where I am. Now, that's how practical it was to 1019 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 2: me in that day. Is there any strengthened honor in 1020 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 2: that gym? Well, obviously my value system says no, but 1021 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 2: my emotions say, hell yeah, get into that. Well, what 1022 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 2: are you gonna do? You're gonna be the man who 1023 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 2: said you'd live by what you believed? Or are you're 1024 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,879 Speaker 2: going to allow that motion and that momentum to put 1025 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 2: you in a space. At least what I had at 1026 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 2: that moment was a fighting chance because I had some 1027 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 2: language in my life. I wasn't gonna I wasn't going 1028 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,239 Speaker 2: to get into it the next day and be like, man, 1029 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 2: I really wish I wouldn't have done that. And I 1030 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 2: found myself in positions where it really could have destroyed 1031 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 2: my life if I would allowed my emotions to run 1032 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 2: away in those moments. So we want to vulnerable like that? Well, 1033 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 2: I mean it's part of the story, right of the story. Strong, 1034 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 2: I'm in a space where I really don't I really 1035 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 2: don't care. I want and I want you to be 1036 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 2: in that space. I want you to care. I want 1037 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 2: it to be important to you, yes, but I also 1038 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,080 Speaker 2: want you to be in a space where you know 1039 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 2: who you are regardless confident you are. Your choices and 1040 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 2: decisions are locked in to who you are and what 1041 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,359 Speaker 2: you believe, and then the important people around you. Those 1042 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 2: values overlap and you can make choices and decisions together. 1043 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 2: My wife and I can come together and who she 1044 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 2: is and who she be in my game, values, talents, 1045 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 2: and purpose are a little bit different than mine, but 1046 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 2: our values overlap. And in that space, man, we do 1047 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,320 Speaker 2: good work dirty, right. 1048 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 3: And those people who you don't necessarily align with, you're 1049 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 3: so confident in who you are. It's like you might 1050 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 3: explain it once, but you don't feel like you have 1051 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 3: to explain yourself. 1052 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 2: Like okay, man, Like no, and I'm not offended, right. 1053 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 2: Everybody gets to kind of believe who they are. That's 1054 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 2: the beautiful thing about who we are and where we're 1055 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 2: at as free individuals. Yeah, everybody gets to do that, 1056 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,359 Speaker 2: and I want everybody to to be able to use 1057 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 2: that freedom. 1058 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 4: It's important the But I think the interesting thing to 1059 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,360 Speaker 4: note here is that you want to You want everybody 1060 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 4: to express what they who they be and stand up 1061 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 4: for what they believe in. 1062 00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:01,000 Speaker 1: But so many people, especially stay and age. 1063 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,680 Speaker 4: Are not at all clearly defined in what they truly believe, 1064 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 4: And that's why it is the age old quote of 1065 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 4: believe in something or your fault or anything, right, So 1066 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 4: you know exactly what you believe in, what your strength 1067 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 4: and honor code is, what exactly who you be, so 1068 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 4: that you can filter all of that in everything that 1069 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 4: you do. And I think that's where that's where the 1070 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 4: process has helped me so much. I mean, like I said, 1071 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 4: I felt like I was more defined than most. And 1072 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 4: that's why you said, it's not this is not for 1073 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 4: somebody who's one thousand percent completely lost. 1074 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: Necessarily you can be you can have it all together. 1075 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,240 Speaker 4: I feel like I have had it all together ish right, 1076 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 4: but I want to take it to the next level. 1077 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 4: I want to go even more on the offense. And 1078 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 4: I don't, by any means have it all together. But 1079 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 4: I was not in a dark, dark space. But I 1080 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 4: also was so far away from what God has designed 1081 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:55,360 Speaker 4: me to be, so far away from from the values, 1082 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,720 Speaker 4: the talents and the purpose that God that has designed 1083 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 4: in my heart and all my life. And I feel 1084 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 4: like I'm starting to scratch that service even more and 1085 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 4: now I can see it more than I ever had 1086 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 4: in my entire life. 1087 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 2: Hopefully I didn't say it wrong. I want to be clear. 1088 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with counseling. There's nothing wrong with the psychologists. 1089 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with any of that, and that's important 1090 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 2: and it's important part of our culture and people people 1091 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,319 Speaker 2: should utilize that as they as they need it. This 1092 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 2: doesn't replace that, Okay, you know what I mean? Yes, absolutely, 1093 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,440 Speaker 2: I need I need somebody who has some self awareness 1094 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 2: and is actually really to do some hard work because 1095 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 2: it's hard. It's hard work, so you don't want to 1096 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 2: help yourself. 1097 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 3: It's gonna it's just gonna be hard as shit to 1098 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,800 Speaker 3: you know, work with somebody like you or have somebody 1099 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 3: there that wants to hold you accountable. But if you 1100 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 3: truly can't figure out how to hold yourself accountable right 1101 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 3: and there, you're not gonna you can't be worked on that. Well. 1102 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 2: Yet, something I really I really admire about Michael is 1103 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,960 Speaker 2: that he's a he's a faith guy. That's an important 1104 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 2: it's an important part of his life. It's it's key, 1105 00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,879 Speaker 2: and it's foundational and who he is and what he believes. Okay, 1106 00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 2: all right, So if that is true, then can you 1107 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:05,319 Speaker 2: really clearly define that and connect that to something that's 1108 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 2: very real and it's something that you're actively, actively, practically 1109 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 2: using in your life, or is it oversimplified ideology? Because 1110 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 2: I was a faith guy back in the day who 1111 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 2: was just spouting off words that meant nothing to me, 1112 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 2: and I don't really live it out. I didn't know 1113 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 2: how to live it out. And it was because somebody 1114 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 2: else said it, but I didn't own any of it. 1115 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,800 Speaker 2: So it really kind of made me more of a 1116 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 2: hypocrite and it certainly wasn't a force multiplier. 1117 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 3: I've had some verses like memorize again, I recall on 1118 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 3: and talk about right. 1119 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,959 Speaker 2: So when we're when we addressed this idea, I didn't 1120 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 2: tell him the faith was important. He just said it was, Okay, 1121 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 2: now define that. What does that really mean in your life? 1122 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 2: And is it something that you're actually using in your life? 1123 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 2: And then past that, what are the other values in 1124 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 2: your life? You know, what are the other things that 1125 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 2: if you're telling me and Mike Michael would say that 1126 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 2: face a foundational strength value in his life. Okay, that's 1127 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 2: the case. Then what are the other things in your 1128 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 2: life that make that meaningful? Right? What are the other 1129 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 2: values and how does that How does this idea of 1130 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 2: faith in your life how do you use it in 1131 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 2: the weaknesses in your life? And then how does it 1132 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 2: affect your future? Or are you just going to quote 1133 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 2: some scripture at me it doesn't really mean a whole lot, right, 1134 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:23,879 Speaker 2: and then you're just going to roll out of here 1135 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:28,279 Speaker 2: and that I'm not down with you know, Yeah, go ahead, Yeah, 1136 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 2: I was gonna say. 1137 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 3: Now you have all of this stuff clearly defined, you 1138 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 3: have it in language. 1139 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 2: People, you start to figure out, you're starting to learn 1140 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 2: a lot more about yourself. 1141 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 3: Right, and now, when you have all these tools and 1142 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 3: you have all this kind of standard created, do you 1143 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 3: repetitively constantly measure it week in and week out? 1144 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,400 Speaker 2: Right? Or when you go through a fight. 1145 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,640 Speaker 3: Or whoever you're working with like or rich like a workouts, 1146 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 3: or if you're trying to hit these measurables, are you 1147 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 3: looking at that? Are you looking at results a lot 1148 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 3: from this language that you've written down, or no matter 1149 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 3: what the result is, you're still always trying to live 1150 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 3: in those in this code that you've written in the 1151 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 3: language and being clear you know what I mean. So 1152 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 3: an example, say you don't hit something, or say you 1153 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 3: lose a title fight, what's the next mentoring session look like? 1154 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. The goal in the end 1155 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 2: is to spend all this time going through these mental 1156 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,840 Speaker 2: challenges and creating the language, and then arriving at the 1157 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,120 Speaker 2: last part of this process where you condense it down 1158 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:38,279 Speaker 2: to single words that mean all of that, that mean 1159 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,879 Speaker 2: everything that you've just written your code. Write your own 1160 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,920 Speaker 2: code gotch you so that you know what it is, 1161 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 2: the Strength and Honor code meaning my purpose statement. My 1162 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 2: name is James Dean Hensel. I'm a son of God. 1163 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 2: I'm a challenger, exhorder and an encourager. I will run 1164 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 2: to the battle for in the battle I find peace. 1165 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,280 Speaker 2: I'm the father of Taylor and Brittany, daughters of Promise. 1166 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 2: That means something. I'm the husband of Christen Hensel. FG. 1167 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 2: That really means something. There's this statement that I can 1168 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:10,319 Speaker 2: say quickly that is extremely impactful in my life. And 1169 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 2: then I can go through the core values. If you 1170 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 2: get me started talking about the core values, we'll be 1171 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 2: here for two days. Those are that's language that I 1172 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,360 Speaker 2: know about me and how to use it in my life. 1173 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 2: And then when you bring them to a few words 1174 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:23,920 Speaker 2: and you bring him down, well, bring it down to 1175 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 2: fight fights in my fights in my core values. It's 1176 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,799 Speaker 2: in his too. He just defines it different. Okay, he 1177 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 2: just defines it different, and what it means to him 1178 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 2: is a little bit different than what it means to me. 1179 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 2: So we bring it all the way back to a 1180 00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 2: core value with authentic language that means something, not the dictionary, 1181 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 2: not what your dad said, or your pastors said, or 1182 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 2: any of those people, but what you believe. And then 1183 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 2: a mission statement I culture, I will I can do 1184 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,759 Speaker 2: it in thirty seconds, just like Maximus did in my 1185 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 2: greatest moment of opportunity, darkest hour. I sure tell know 1186 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 2: who I am that no one can ever take away 1187 00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 2: from me. So you want to put it into that 1188 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 2: format so that you can quickly. I mean, if I 1189 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 2: literally said to you right now, will define yourself, tell 1190 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 2: me purpose, tell me values, and then tell me how 1191 00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,319 Speaker 2: you you know, tell me in language what you're gonna 1192 00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 2: do with it. Could you do it in thirty seconds 1193 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 2: or less? I know that's not fair because you haven't. 1194 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 3: But these are what your clients, These are what your 1195 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 3: people you work with. This is the this is what 1196 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 3: this is the goal to get to. 1197 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 2: That's the goal. 1198 00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 3: Now. Once you have that goal, right now, how do 1199 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 3: you use it, and how do you how do you 1200 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 3: uh act, you know, how do you grow to work? Yeah? 1201 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:29,279 Speaker 2: How do you put it to work? And how do 1202 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 2: you grow it? Values should be breathing and growing at 1203 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 2: all times. What what it meant? Family? My definition of 1204 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,959 Speaker 2: family meant one thing prior to being married, it meant 1205 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,879 Speaker 2: one thing after being divorced, it meant the next thing 1206 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 2: after being a father, and now I'm looking at grandkids 1207 00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 2: here in the future probably, And it's been living, breathing, 1208 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,799 Speaker 2: and growing in my life at least once a year. 1209 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 2: I'm coming back to redefining and updating and deciding what's 1210 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,160 Speaker 2: valuable about the things I believe in. 1211 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,960 Speaker 3: Now when you say you're redefining and updating, all right, 1212 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 3: I know you can talk about your core values and 1213 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:02,399 Speaker 3: stuff like that. 1214 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:07,280 Speaker 2: Are you also alluding to goals and big big stuff 1215 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 2: that's kind of for sure? That makes you uncomfortable, for sure. 1216 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 2: So in the value system, we have what we call 1217 00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 2: strength values. These are big rocks, okay, big things that 1218 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 2: I know probably don't change very much other than updating. 1219 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 2: I've got this idea of weakness values. These are values 1220 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 2: that address my limitations, the stories in my life that 1221 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 2: are negative. So that's important for me. I was a 1222 00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 2: worrier and the word hope is extremely meaningful to me 1223 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 2: in the way that I've defined it, So that's a 1224 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,919 Speaker 2: big deal to me. I worked hard to go from 1225 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,440 Speaker 2: being a warrier who was left, who didn't do what 1226 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 2: he thought he would do in life to being a 1227 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 2: very hopeful person. And it took fighting for it. Yes, 1228 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,680 Speaker 2: the next kind of an ideal or value I call 1229 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,760 Speaker 2: an ideal value, and those are more connected to goals, 1230 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 2: and those change for me every year. Right this year, 1231 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,840 Speaker 2: I talked about freedom in a big way. I took 1232 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 2: this whole entire year to define what freedom means to me, 1233 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 2: something I've been reading about, studying about connecting to my life, 1234 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 2: so that when this year ends, I'm going to have 1235 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,640 Speaker 2: a really good idea about what freedom means to me. 1236 00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 2: Do you are you? It is October? Now? How are 1237 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 2: you feeling about freedom? Right now? It's huge. I mean, 1238 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 2: I've thought about it from what it means as a country, 1239 00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 2: what I believe as well. The first thing is I 1240 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 2: think we have a freedom problem and that people don't 1241 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 2: know how to be free, okay, and that freedom destroys us. 1242 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 2: We're just we don't know how to operate and live 1243 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 2: inside of that. I see people who have been given 1244 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 2: this right to make choices and decisions, and a lot 1245 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 2: of people do really well with it, and a lot 1246 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,479 Speaker 2: of people don't. So for me, how do I stay 1247 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,280 Speaker 2: connected inside of freedom? How do I maximize freedom? I've 1248 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 2: thought about it at a government level and what I 1249 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 2: believe about that, and a lot of people go there immediately. 1250 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 2: I've thought about what it means in my finances so 1251 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 2: I can get ahead and be where I want to 1252 00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 2: be and what I want to do. I've thought about 1253 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 2: it as it relates to my relationships, and then I 1254 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 2: walked it all the way down to in the morning 1255 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,920 Speaker 2: when I get out of bed. Your process well, actually, 1256 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 2: actually even deeper. Am I being influenced immediately? Or am 1257 00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 2: I an influencer if I put my feet on the floor. 1258 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 2: What I realized was as soon as I went to 1259 00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 2: social media, soon as I went to email. That's not nefarious, 1260 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,080 Speaker 2: it's not bad. But all of a sudden, I am 1261 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 2: now following that influence. Instead of having some space for 1262 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 2: me to be free, for my feet to hit the 1263 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,680 Speaker 2: ground and be free, I'm going to go outside and 1264 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to shoot my bow for thirty minutes and 1265 00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 2: just be quiet and be okay in the quiet, so 1266 00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 2: that when I connect to my day and the things 1267 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 2: that I think are valuable and purposeful, I'm doing it 1268 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 2: as an influencer. I'm taking it in the way that 1269 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 2: I want to take it. And I think here's a 1270 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 2: huge mistake inside of freedom that most of us, and 1271 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 2: many of us would say, if we're honest, Holy smokes, 1272 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 2: there's no space to really really be influencing and free. 1273 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 2: So that's how deep I've thought about it. I like that, 1274 00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 2: what is something that you've written down? What is it 1275 00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 2: called idea? Idea goal or idea? Yeah? Ideal values, ideal values? 1276 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 2: What what's like a goal you've written down? 1277 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Wait, an ideal value? 1278 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? I could go when he. 1279 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,080 Speaker 1: Told wanness or I want value? 1280 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 2: I think for me? 1281 01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 4: See see what the the beautiful thing about this is 1282 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 4: say a word that I'm about to say right now 1283 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 4: might seem different, but because of the shortcomings of my past, 1284 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 4: like because I want a want value for me, I 1285 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 4: think was because we're at the process right now where 1286 01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 4: I think I have right now he's actuel and I'm 1287 01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 4: and and yesterday we went through a couple of different definitions. 1288 01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 1: I have three different definitions of the. 1289 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:42,400 Speaker 4: Word reliability or stability, you know. For for me, the 1290 01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:46,920 Speaker 4: biggest the biggest deterrent in my life has been other 1291 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:51,560 Speaker 4: people's expectations or not believing in myself enough or playing small, 1292 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 4: you know. 1293 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 2: So, so the. 1294 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 4: Ideas of my want value of being author authentic, the 1295 01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,920 Speaker 4: want value of being free. 1296 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 1: And just for me, just being being free. 1297 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 4: To know that that there was a There was an 1298 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 4: almighty God that created me in his image. And since 1299 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 4: I was born, I have not been living free. I 1300 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,040 Speaker 4: have not been there's There has been numerous times in 1301 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 4: my life where I've seen glimpses of it and glimmers 1302 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 4: of it, and those are some of the greatest moments 1303 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,280 Speaker 4: of my life. A couple of fights ago against Gothyamuchi, 1304 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,520 Speaker 4: which you guys didn't see the fight, but in that 1305 01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:28,320 Speaker 4: moment I felt the most free I had ever been 1306 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,280 Speaker 4: inside of that cage, within my purpose, within my do 1307 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 4: and being close to one hundred percent of who God 1308 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 4: designed me to be.

But for me, playing small, 1339 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 4: you know you, playing small doesn't do anybody a favor. 1340 01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 4: There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't 1341 01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 4: feel insecure around you. And my whole entire life I 1342 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:03,120 Speaker 4: was I have been afraid to be the best at 1343 01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 4: something for the fear of how it may affect you negatively, 1344 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 4: or how it may affect you negatively, or how you 1345 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 4: might not feel great about yourself because of how dominant 1346 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,760 Speaker 4: I just was. Sounds a little bit crazy because I've 1347 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 4: been in hand hand combat since I was fourteen years old, 1348 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 4: and my goal is to go out there and break 1349 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 4: somebody and hurt somebody now in a cage in front 1350 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 4: of millions of people. So for me, that was always 1351 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,920 Speaker 4: that has always been one of my things is not 1352 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 4: coming off to cocky. And one of the most profound 1353 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 4: things that you said to me in this he said, well, 1354 01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 4: the antidote to cockiness is being defined. There's nothing wrong 1355 01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,160 Speaker 4: with being defined. Even though when you sit there and 1356 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 4: you say I am James Dean Hensel, I am this, this, this, 1357 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 4: and if there was one hundred people sitting here, they'll 1358 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,160 Speaker 4: be like, man, that's a little bit weird this guy 1359 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 4: because because confidence breeds insecurity, like right, we are sometimes 1360 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 4: afraid to be around somebody who is that confident, you know, And. 1361 01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,880 Speaker 1: I think that's a problem with society these days. We 1362 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 1: look at these people who are who are. 1363 01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:05,720 Speaker 4: So defined and they're so confident in themselves that we shrink. 1364 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,680 Speaker 4: And I believe the human spirit was created for so 1365 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,720 Speaker 4: much more, that we were all designed to be put 1366 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,600 Speaker 4: on this earth to be over overwhelmingly being able to 1367 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 4: achieve abundantly and overwhelmingly. 1368 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 1: More than we ever could have thought or imagine. 1369 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,160 Speaker 4: And that's always been kind of one of one of 1370 01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:27,440 Speaker 4: my things is being afraid to be too successful around 1371 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 4: people for fear of what it may make them feel 1372 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,160 Speaker 4: like because of the way you were raised. 1373 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 2: Because honestly, of some of those things, goals come next. 1374 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 2: Goals are important. What we're working out here is identity, correct. 1375 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,240 Speaker 3: Correct, I'm saying we have identity taken care of. When 1376 01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 3: do goals come in next? 1377 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,520 Speaker 2: So now we want to take whatever it is that 1378 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,520 Speaker 2: you say you want to do. Yes, whatever it is 1379 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:55,760 Speaker 2: that you're the task, task, job, emotion, whatever that is 1380 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,160 Speaker 2: that you want to make happen in your life. What 1381 01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,880 Speaker 2: I care about is that you formulate did this platform 1382 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 2: of strength so that we can connect to that in 1383 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:04,520 Speaker 2: an authentic way. 1384 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,360 Speaker 3: Right, And now I want I'm asking the question, what 1385 01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,200 Speaker 3: are these goals that have happened for what are these 1386 01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 3: goals in twenty nineteen, like for me, for any example 1387 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:19,160 Speaker 3: from me a goal with busting with the boys, not 1388 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 3: even busting with the boys. But somebody looked at in 1389 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,680 Speaker 3: my journal was that I was going to be one 1390 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 3: of the first players slash coaches because at this point 1391 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,800 Speaker 3: in time, I knew my transition point was when I'm 1392 01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,800 Speaker 3: done with football get into coaching. But when I was 1393 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 3: looking back in my journal, it was be one of 1394 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 3: the first player slash coach to have a podcast with 1395 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:42,040 Speaker 3: a million all time downloads. Right, So now I start 1396 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 3: with the end in mind and kind of backtrack on 1397 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:48,000 Speaker 3: what that looks like in a formulated process for who 1398 01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 3: I'm surrounding myself with what we believe, like what I believe, 1399 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,840 Speaker 3: how we're gonna get there taking those steps, but starting 1400 01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,040 Speaker 3: with the end in mind, what are some of those 1401 01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 3: result ends in mind? Now that you've built a strong foundation, 1402 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 3: because I love I love how you're putting that, because 1403 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,480 Speaker 3: you're giving me a whole perspective on being intentional with 1404 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:09,240 Speaker 3: who you're defining yourself as us. Now we've we're learning 1405 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,360 Speaker 3: to define ourselves based on this conversation. 1406 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,120 Speaker 2: Now, what can people do to. 1407 01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,920 Speaker 3: Have these goals that you're going to look at be 1408 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,680 Speaker 3: kind of scared to go after, but how you stay 1409 01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 3: intention on that process to get there? 1410 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,520 Speaker 2: Let's talk about two ways. First, let's talk I want 1411 01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 2: because I want to speak specifically about you, and I 1412 01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 2: want to talk about Michael real quick. All the things 1413 01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 2: that he's doing as a fighter, training, eating right people, 1414 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,919 Speaker 2: he surrounds himself, all that super important. Let's let's narrow 1415 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,720 Speaker 2: it all the way to the moment and we've all 1416 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,520 Speaker 2: seen it on pay per view when he's walking from 1417 01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:47,200 Speaker 2: the tunnel, the music's playing and he's stepping in the cage, 1418 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 2: and in the culture that we live in, there's no 1419 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,919 Speaker 2: bigger moment. Correct one percent, it's man versus man. Heart 1420 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,000 Speaker 2: starts beating a little more, somebody's somebody's going down in 1421 01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,479 Speaker 2: that moment. So those two men or women for that matter, 1422 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 2: have put this in a position where, foreshore in front 1423 01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 2: of the world, someone's going to be embarrassed, or someone's 1424 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 2: at least going to be seen as the loser, and 1425 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,120 Speaker 2: lots of people in our culture want to avoid that. 1426 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 2: He doesn't want to avoid that. In his design. There's 1427 01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 2: this idea of tenacious is the word he used, or 1428 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,400 Speaker 2: competitor that kind of pours out of him. And so 1429 01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:24,400 Speaker 2: he was really kind of born to be in that space. 1430 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:28,120 Speaker 2: And that's not everybody, man, it's just yea factor. He's 1431 01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:29,840 Speaker 2: in a what is it? I don't know what's the 1432 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:31,920 Speaker 2: percentage half a percent of the people on the planet 1433 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 2: that will go into a cage and do that. Probably 1434 01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,640 Speaker 2: it's not me, not a lot. He has smaller than that. 1435 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 3: It's so we have eleven guys on a team, right, 1436 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,920 Speaker 3: and it's like there's a one percent I don't know, 1437 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 3: a weird number, but it's even smaller with. 1438 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,960 Speaker 2: The UFC dudes. I sorry not UFC MMA, right, disrespect. 1439 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,840 Speaker 2: So so he's he's been He has that innate ability 1440 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,040 Speaker 2: insigned him and inside him mentally, and it's actually a 1441 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,400 Speaker 2: talent he's been given it. It's it's something that he 1442 01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,200 Speaker 2: didn't really work. He's worked to cultivate it and craft 1443 01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 2: it and get better at it, creating some mindset tools. 1444 01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 2: But it's actually in him who want to discover that 1445 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 2: we call that purpose. You know, I want to know 1446 01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 2: what that is. Purpose in your life, you've experienced it. 1447 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:13,000 Speaker 2: You're a limited group of people who can be on 1448 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,479 Speaker 2: the field in the NFL and make that happen. And 1449 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,519 Speaker 2: you don't really have to try. I'm not saying you 1450 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 2: haven't worked hard at the X and Z and o's 1451 01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:22,599 Speaker 2: and you haven't worked at mindset skills, but it kind 1452 01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 2: of pours out of you. You're either a competitor and 1453 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,559 Speaker 2: you can get off the block and you can make 1454 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:30,120 Speaker 2: the tackle, or you can't and they'll find somebody who 1455 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:34,320 Speaker 2: can if you can't. So this is the understanding. What 1456 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,160 Speaker 2: I care about is that when he goes to train 1457 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,920 Speaker 2: every day, he remembers his identity, whatever his goals is 1458 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,360 Speaker 2: for the day, if he's wrestling, if he's doing jiu 1459 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 2: jitsu that day, whatever he's got going on that day, 1460 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,640 Speaker 2: that he brings the authentic version of who he is 1461 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,920 Speaker 2: and his belief system into that space so that he's 1462 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,479 Speaker 2: operating from that position of strength. And what I really 1463 01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,599 Speaker 2: care about is whatever's going through his mind, Because there's 1464 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,640 Speaker 2: something going through his mind when he goes from the 1465 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:06,280 Speaker 2: tunnel to the cage that that's way connected to his 1466 01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:10,280 Speaker 2: identity because I don't know whether he's gonna win or lose, right, yeah, 1467 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,840 Speaker 2: for sure, that's not written for sure. But what we 1468 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 2: want to be in opportunity and adversity is. 1469 01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 3: Authentic, and you make sure you're somebody who makes sure 1470 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 3: he stays that authentic self in those moments from the 1471 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 3: walk from the tunnel to the cage and when he's 1472 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:25,440 Speaker 3: in the cage. 1473 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:26,840 Speaker 2: That's what you are there for. 1474 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:33,000 Speaker 3: Most Now, I'm asking you what are your what's your 1475 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 3: individual goal as a fighter to allow him to say, hey, 1476 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 3: these are things I'm also one thing as we're working 1477 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 3: on being intentional in these moments.

That wasn't my doing. 1493 01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:33,000 Speaker 3: You know, if you always thought that way though your 1494 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:36,519 Speaker 3: first fights, your first loss, you truly felt, I didn't 1495 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 3: lose this fight like there was back then. 1496 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 2: You're saying there wasn't an eagle party. 1497 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:44,280 Speaker 4: That's no back, no back then, because back then, when 1498 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 4: I when I lost my first fight, I went, I 1499 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:47,960 Speaker 4: went into a bad spot.

Michael Chandler 1504 01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 4: is unstoppable. He needs to go fight Benson.

How am I 1524 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,040 Speaker 4: going to beat this guy? How am I going to 1525 01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 4: gain planning and to be able to cut the cut 1526 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 4: off the cage? How am I going to be able 1527 01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:45,600 Speaker 4: to have my hands up more? And I'm gonna be 1528 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:46,080 Speaker 4: able to do this? 1529 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 2: This? 1530 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 1: This this when really. 1531 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,880 Speaker 4: The real battle was inside inside my soul, inside my mind, 1532 01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:51,800 Speaker 4: inside me. 1533 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 1: It was it was me. It was my shortcomings and 1534 01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:58,799 Speaker 1: my self defeating prophecy of eventually you're going to lose because. 1535 01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:00,760 Speaker 4: You're not that good, you know, and that Yeah, So 1536 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,120 Speaker 4: for me, it's always outperforming my previous self. 1537 01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:05,520 Speaker 1: Obviously I have not fought. 1538 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 4: Since Jim and I have worked together, but I would 1539 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 4: the way that I would see it is just for 1540 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,320 Speaker 4: me to wake up every single morning. When you talk 1541 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,400 Speaker 4: about freedom, when you're talking about having a clear definition, 1542 01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,639 Speaker 4: when I talk about just being able to walk around 1543 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:20,320 Speaker 4: more confident knowing that I know exactly who I be, 1544 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,800 Speaker 4: so in every single interaction, I can do whatever I 1545 01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:25,000 Speaker 4: feel at liberty to do. 1546 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,760 Speaker 2: We could walk it back to yesterday and we're right 1547 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,720 Speaker 2: in this spot in the process for him. And we 1548 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,920 Speaker 2: talked about three words yesterday at Starbucks in cook Built, Tennessee. 1549 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:38,519 Speaker 2: And these aren't value words. Another part of the process 1550 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:42,320 Speaker 2: is purpose words. Okay, and and and two things that 1551 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,880 Speaker 2: were identifying in Michael's life is and they are the 1552 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,519 Speaker 2: opposite sides of this spectrum and who he is. It's 1553 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,280 Speaker 2: not just a personality trait. It's it's more of what 1554 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,200 Speaker 2: pours out of him no matter where he is or 1555 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:56,400 Speaker 2: what he's doing. One side of it was joy and 1556 01:12:56,479 --> 01:13:00,040 Speaker 2: the and the have fun, enjoy, get crazy love. I 1557 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,040 Speaker 2: loved that side of life, which if you're not that guy, 1558 01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,400 Speaker 2: it's robbing authenticity from you. And the other side was 1559 01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,960 Speaker 2: this tenacious competitive piece of who you are. And what 1560 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 2: was the word in the middle we talked about, which 1561 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:17,960 Speaker 2: is discipline. It's more goal oriented how do you go 1562 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:22,040 Speaker 2: from having a great time and that's your wife loves 1563 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 2: that part about you, your friends love that part about you. 1564 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 2: And if you're not doing that, you're not really authentic. 1565 01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 2: And that's and that's what sets me apart from other 1566 01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:30,519 Speaker 2: riders as well. And that's and that's what we've you know, 1567 01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,439 Speaker 2: because I talked about over the last two years, how 1568 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 2: this I've had the last two years have been the 1569 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 2: hardest two years of my life, and it has stolen 1570 01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 2: my joy. And I've also been the most undisciplined in 1571 01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:42,680 Speaker 2: my entire life because I've had so much to do 1572 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,400 Speaker 2: that it was impossible to get it all done. Therefore, 1573 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:47,160 Speaker 2: a I'm a failure every single day because I have 1574 01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 2: eighty six things to check off a listen, It's going 1575 01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,800 Speaker 2: to be impossible. So therefore I stopped being disciplined in 1576 01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:53,839 Speaker 2: all the small things. 1577 01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,400 Speaker 1: I stopped being I was disciplined in the big things. 1578 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,880 Speaker 4: I kept my diet good, I kept my training good. 1579 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,280 Speaker 4: But it was the small things that continue to add 1580 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:02,519 Speaker 4: up and add up and add up, and it may 1581 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:06,320 Speaker 4: be a less effective human being. And it's the joy aspect. 1582 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 4: I think my ability, my ability to be a leader 1583 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,439 Speaker 4: and make a dent in the culture of men lies 1584 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:19,960 Speaker 4: in my ability to mesh joy with my tenacity when 1585 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 4: when I can beat the crap out of somebody inside 1586 01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,960 Speaker 4: of a cage and then the next day somebody meets 1587 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,799 Speaker 4: me and like and they think, Wow, I didn't expect 1588 01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 4: you to be this nice, this loving, this humble, this 1589 01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,559 Speaker 4: this happy because you just got done beating somebody helping 1590 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:36,120 Speaker 4: in a cage. 1591 01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:37,639 Speaker 2: And I can't test to that too. 1592 01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:39,559 Speaker 3: First time I met Michael Chandler, I'm thinking, like the 1593 01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,439 Speaker 3: same thing, Like this dude is super nice for being 1594 01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,280 Speaker 3: like a savage in the after Well. 1595 01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:45,960 Speaker 2: He has the same thing too, Yeah, I did, And 1596 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,800 Speaker 2: it means everything because if if you're not authentic in 1597 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 2: the cage or at home with your wife and your son, 1598 01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,200 Speaker 2: son doesn't really care about tenacity.

So, 1633 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,679 Speaker 3: for example, I I've I work with Ben Newman. He's 1634 01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:38,519 Speaker 3: been a performance coach of mind that I've worked on, 1635 01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,160 Speaker 3: you know Ben, And. 1636 01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,760 Speaker 2: It's like personal, professional. 1637 01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,400 Speaker 3: I'm just not thinking right now, like it's there's like 1638 01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:49,080 Speaker 3: three different areas, right, and you're writing. 1639 01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,599 Speaker 2: Goals of what it looks like. So my rookie year 1640 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:52,439 Speaker 2: I always allude to that. 1641 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:56,479 Speaker 3: For instance, it was a professional it was make an 1642 01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 3: impact on the on the Redskins roster be a starting 1643 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:03,000 Speaker 3: linebacker for the Washington Redskins as a rookie. Failed at 1644 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,639 Speaker 3: that goal, right, and you're gonna fail, You're gonna constantly fail. 1645 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,040 Speaker 2: And personal it was reading. 1646 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:11,679 Speaker 3: Reading my one year Bible every day. And I don't 1647 01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,760 Speaker 3: know if it's it's like service and service. It was 1648 01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 3: have five speaking engagements to schools, giving back and I 1649 01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,280 Speaker 3: truly feared speaking in front of people, but it was 1650 01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,000 Speaker 3: giving back through having a football camp. We'll come to the 1651 01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,799 Speaker 3: football camp, shout out to the boys, and having five 1652 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,960 Speaker 3: speaking engagements, right, based on these. 1653 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,599 Speaker 2: Values that we've defined on who we are. 1654 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,160 Speaker 3: Now we take them to these goals are what are 1655 01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,439 Speaker 3: these areas that you have me and Mike right down 1656 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 3: to where hey, we're gonna have goals in these areas. 1657 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 3: And then when you get to these benchmarks, whether you 1658 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 3: whether you fail or get them, do you go to 1659 01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,160 Speaker 3: another goal in a benchmark? 1660 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:47,840 Speaker 2: Right sure? 1661 01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,960 Speaker 3: Or is it constantly living in who you are in 1662 01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:53,639 Speaker 3: these moments. And it's more up to him to define 1663 01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:54,760 Speaker 3: what goals he wants in his. 1664 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:56,840 Speaker 2: Life or in our life. So that's a great question. 1665 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 2: And what I think is when you authentically know who 1666 01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 2: you are the do the task, the goal, the job, 1667 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,839 Speaker 2: you do a better job of picking the right one, gotcha? 1668 01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,600 Speaker 2: And that right one. We want to make sure that 1669 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:13,559 Speaker 2: whatever Michael's doing, whatever that goal is, that job is, 1670 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:17,559 Speaker 2: that task is actually connected to in purpose, which is 1671 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 2: joy and tenacity, and then this list of core values. 1672 01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,439 Speaker 2: For me, it's whatever I'm going to do, whatever my 1673 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 2: job is, whatever my task is, it's got to be 1674 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,519 Speaker 2: connected to challenge, exhort, encourage, because that's what pours out 1675 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:35,559 Speaker 2: of me. It doesn't matter what I do. I'm coaching somebody, fight, work, hope, faith, team, family, excellence, purpose, responsibility, love, 1676 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,599 Speaker 2: and freedom. That's my filter. Here's how I feel about it, 1677 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,920 Speaker 2: this is what I believe about it. Now, here's what 1678 01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to do, so that every time I aim 1679 01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,200 Speaker 2: at that nest task or next goal, whether it's at 1680 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,200 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty one years old, what I'm trying to 1681 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,760 Speaker 2: do physically, and I have those goals, and then what 1682 01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:53,240 Speaker 2: am I trying to do in business? And I have 1683 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,840 Speaker 2: those goals and the kind of parent that I want 1684 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 2: to be and the husband want to be. I have 1685 01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,960 Speaker 2: those goals that all of that stays on track. It 1686 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,880 Speaker 2: becomes the guard rails that keeps me from either letting 1687 01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,920 Speaker 2: momentum in life get me in the space that's not 1688 01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 2: connected to my purpose or my values or emotion that 1689 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 2: gets me off track. Gotcha, it's a It's an entire filter. 1690 01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,479 Speaker 2: So that whatever he's doing in jiu jitsu that day, 1691 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,599 Speaker 2: whatever he's doing in wrestling that day, or whatever he's 1692 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,439 Speaker 2: doing in striking that day, whatever he wants to do 1693 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,679 Speaker 2: I don't know contractually moving forward in your career, those 1694 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,760 Speaker 2: are all the goals things that he's looking at. We 1695 01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:32,600 Speaker 2: just know for sure that's authentic and it's it's just 1696 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 2: like your base right when when you're when you're you're 1697 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 2: lined up before the snap, where's that first foot going. 1698 01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 2: It's got to go the right way. It has to happen, 1699 01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,880 Speaker 2: or you're behind, you're slow getting to where you're supposed 1700 01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,760 Speaker 2: to be. It's that kind of perspective. I just want 1701 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,479 Speaker 2: you to know what identity is so that when you 1702 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 2: make that move, you're headed in the right direction and 1703 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,360 Speaker 2: you're headed there. I want you to be one hundred 1704 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,639 Speaker 2: percent of the person you were created to be when 1705 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 2: you arrive at the goal or whatever that is inside 1706 01:19:58,960 --> 01:19:59,160 Speaker 2: you want. 1707 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's my only goal right now. 1708 01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:03,679 Speaker 4: I have I have not thought about goals or looked 1709 01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,920 Speaker 4: at goals, or written down goals or written. 1710 01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 1: Down anything anything tangible. 1711 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 4: There's there's nothing I've written down that says I want 1712 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:12,800 Speaker 4: to get this, accomplish that have this number, have that 1713 01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:15,040 Speaker 4: If I can just be one hundred percent of who 1714 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,599 Speaker 4: I was created to be and designed to be, then 1715 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:20,400 Speaker 4: those goals are going to take care of themselves and 1716 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,599 Speaker 4: and when we get through this process, which we're. 1717 01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 2: Pretty soon we get being done. 1718 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 4: But I would imagine as well, like you said, they're living, 1719 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:28,479 Speaker 4: they're breathing, We're going to continue to tweak. 1720 01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 1: We're going to continue to move. 1721 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,920 Speaker 4: Next fight I win, they might be different than if 1722 01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,800 Speaker 4: next fight I lose. Contract is up in a couple 1723 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:35,520 Speaker 4: of fights. 1724 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:36,840 Speaker 1: Where we going what are we doing? And then we 1725 01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:38,120 Speaker 1: can figure out what's next after that? 1726 01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:39,000 Speaker 2: And are you are you? 1727 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,720 Speaker 3: Are you reciting and reviewing and seeing these things on 1728 01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:44,360 Speaker 3: a daily basis to keep you. 1729 01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:45,920 Speaker 1: Into I'm pretty I'm pretty excited. 1730 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,920 Speaker 4: I mean, we have we have a one hundred and 1731 01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 4: two hundred page book that we've written and we've looked 1732 01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,120 Speaker 4: at and and there's an online course that there's there's 1733 01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:55,960 Speaker 4: a well, there's a video of you and rich and 1734 01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:57,639 Speaker 4: Ellie work. 1735 01:20:57,880 --> 01:20:59,479 Speaker 2: Is it out there?

It just happened, and then you then 1755 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 4: you read it and realize, Wow, that literally poured out 1756 01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:52,639 Speaker 4: of the essence of who I am, but it poured 1757 01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:53,840 Speaker 4: out of the essence of my heart. 1758 01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 1: There it is, there's the key to what we need 1759 01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,000 Speaker 1: to fix, right, Yeah. 1760 01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,640 Speaker 2: Vince Lombardie. And I'm not a big quote guy. I 1761 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:02,959 Speaker 2: kind of try to avoid quotes because. 1762 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:05,880 Speaker 3: I kind of like that one quote with the thing 1763 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 3: that's like while sitting there like like I'm like it's 1764 01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:10,760 Speaker 3: getting onto like you and you said it too. I 1765 01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 3: don't get caught up in the tangible things I'm trying 1766 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,360 Speaker 3: to get to and I'm sitting there processing because me, 1767 01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,879 Speaker 3: I like, I gotta know what I'm going to achieve. 1768 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,040 Speaker 3: Maybe I get too caught up. You can get too 1769 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:24,320 Speaker 3: caught up in that fundamentally sometimes because you're you're losing 1770 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 3: sight of who you are at the core, and that's 1771 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 3: where some stuff comes in. It's like reciting and reviewing 1772 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 3: who the definition of you is and making sure that 1773 01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 3: that's what's pouring in and getting that thing. 1774 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think and I think that's the beautiful 1775 01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:38,320 Speaker 4: thing too, because we're sitting here talking about writing down 1776 01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,439 Speaker 4: goals and I'm almost saying, well, don't. 1777 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:41,840 Speaker 1: Worry about the goals, worry about who you are. 1778 01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 4: And then but there's that beautiful mixture between both. And 1779 01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,600 Speaker 4: like you said, when those things line up, you know 1780 01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 4: exactly who you be, then you can do. 1781 01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:51,280 Speaker 1: Exactly what you want to do. 1782 01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:55,280 Speaker 2: And think about how really cool David Goggins or been Yeah, 1783 01:22:55,400 --> 01:23:00,559 Speaker 2: what what they offer, How how much easier it is 1784 01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 2: for them to coach you when you show up in 1785 01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,599 Speaker 2: control of your emotions or knowing how to control your 1786 01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:09,000 Speaker 2: emotions and knowing who you are in identity now their motivation, 1787 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:11,720 Speaker 2: how to write things down, how to set stuff up, 1788 01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,360 Speaker 2: you know, how to get done, what you're gonna do 1789 01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:16,800 Speaker 2: during the day is really powerful and you're off to 1790 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,719 Speaker 2: the races if you show up requiring him to motivate 1791 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,360 Speaker 2: you just to get you on your feet, to get 1792 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:26,400 Speaker 2: you moving, dude. That's why I said motivation is so 1793 01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,800 Speaker 2: wasted in our culture. In many ways, our lives do this. 1794 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:31,760 Speaker 2: They roll a coaster instead of really, I kind of 1795 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 2: show up and I know who I am and I 1796 01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:35,759 Speaker 2: can hold myself to to that. And now this motivation 1797 01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,960 Speaker 2: piece and education piece, proper goal setting, proper time management, 1798 01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:44,160 Speaker 2: get nutrition, all those things become force multipliers and we 1799 01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:48,360 Speaker 2: move ahead intentionally at a higher speed. I was going 1800 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,200 Speaker 2: to say this, Ben Sombardi said, individual commitment to a 1801 01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 2: group effort. That's what makes team and society and our 1802 01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:58,519 Speaker 2: country move. And we have a crisis of identity in 1803 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:01,200 Speaker 2: our world right now. People don't really know how they fit. 1804 01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:03,840 Speaker 2: And I don't mean this. I'm not. I'm not I'm 1805 01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:06,400 Speaker 2: not down on anybody. I'm not I'm not trying to 1806 01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:10,160 Speaker 2: be bad. Just from from sexuality to people. People are 1807 01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 2: super concerned or don't know who they are, and we're 1808 01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 2: fighting for that. And I think in order for us 1809 01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,040 Speaker 2: to be able to take advantage of the freedom that 1810 01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,040 Speaker 2: we've been given, we got to know.

And then 1872 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,599 Speaker 4: and then even just read those over this next seven days, 1873 01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 4: read those three read those definitions of those three things 1874 01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:56,960 Speaker 4: once or. 1875 01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:57,880 Speaker 1: Twice or three times a day. 1876 01:26:57,880 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 4: Put it in your wallet, put in your phone, in 1877 01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:02,439 Speaker 4: your notes, and just realize how it kind of changes 1878 01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,840 Speaker 4: your perspective on things, and how those three words are 1879 01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:09,320 Speaker 4: five words or those some a mixture of those definitions 1880 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,320 Speaker 4: somewhat comes up and comes in the back of your 1881 01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 4: mind when you're in your next interaction, when you're in 1882 01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 4: your next meeting, when you're in your next quiet time, 1883 01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:17,920 Speaker 4: when you're in your because you've now taken these words 1884 01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,240 Speaker 4: and you've put a definition with them, and now they 1885 01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:22,200 Speaker 4: are a language, and now they are a tool, and 1886 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:25,160 Speaker 4: they become in the forefront of your mind. Now you 1887 01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,919 Speaker 4: move a little somewhat defined. You you have somewhat defined 1888 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:32,479 Speaker 4: because everything else is just subjective and subconscious, and we 1889 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:36,800 Speaker 4: can't unless you're doing a ton of work every single day. 1890 01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:40,080 Speaker 4: You can't trust your subconscious because everything we see on 1891 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:43,640 Speaker 4: social media, see on YouTube, listen to on podcasts, all 1892 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:45,880 Speaker 4: that stuff is being downloaded into our minds and our 1893 01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:49,120 Speaker 4: brains and it's it all gets jumbled up and it's 1894 01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 4: not actually clearly defined. 1895 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes you move differently. I want to sharpen that, 1896 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,799 Speaker 2: just to tad absolutely. Three value to finish. Three values. 1897 01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,800 Speaker 2: A strength value, big rock you know right now in 1898 01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 2: your life, Yeah, something like that, a weakness value. So 1899 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 2: I want you to I want you to take decide 1900 01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 2: what is what is the negative emotion that gets the 1901 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,280 Speaker 2: best of you. It's a anger, worry, whatever that is. 1902 01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 2: And I want you to create a value that's the 1903 01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,360 Speaker 2: opposite of that. For me, it was worry and I 1904 01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:20,040 Speaker 2: and I worked at hope, so hope was the value, 1905 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:24,040 Speaker 2: and then an idea of value that's a value that 1906 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:25,960 Speaker 2: that it's something that you see in the culture that 1907 01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:27,880 Speaker 2: you're aiming at that you want to be a part 1908 01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:31,040 Speaker 2: of your life. So that the values encompass your strengths, 1909 01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:34,040 Speaker 2: your weaknesses, and your desires for the future. Those are 1910 01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:36,840 Speaker 2: the three values from the Mayhem Mindset process that I 1911 01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:39,479 Speaker 2: want someone to really look at and then move out 1912 01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,360 Speaker 2: into your day and make sure that that that's something 1913 01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,760 Speaker 2: that you're thinking about front of mind and you're using it. 1914 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 2: I love that, dude.
