1
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Let's get into business compatibility. For some reason, people think

2
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: about relationship compatibility but don't think about business compatibility. So

3
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: the way that you have to have the right fit

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: in relationships energy. So they say, the experts say, you

5
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: have to have like like an attraction, you're attracted to

6
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: each other. Okay, there's some version of an attraction. Okay,

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: that could happen that that needs to happen in business too.

8
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: What's the attraction? Do I like the idea? Do I

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: think you're interesting? Are you? Am I excited by what

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: you're saying? Am I excited about by the products you have?

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Am I excited by the partnership? Okay? That's the that's

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: the chemistry. Okay, then we need desire, like commitment. Do

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: you want to do this? Are you in the same boat?

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: Are you on the same page. Someone could be like

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: they say breadcrumbing you where they're giving you little bits,

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: where they're asking for booty call, but you want to

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: get married. That's not the same page. In business, it

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: could be like someone basically wants to take a business

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: and they want to turn it in eighteen months. They

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: want to cash out. You want to build a legacy

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: business that you could pass on to your kids. You

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: think your idea is good enough, that's not a compatibility fit.

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: There are a thousand examples, but you're picking up what

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm putting down. Then energetic are you on the same

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: energetic wavelength? Meaning do you vibe well with this person

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: or your like patterns aligned? So if you're vibing with

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: someone in a relationship. I vibe with certain people more

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: than others. And I have been in serious relationships where

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: I care about and love the person, and or I

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: trust them and I think they're loyal, but I don't

31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: vibe with them like they want to go to bed early,

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: I want to stay out late. They don't burst and

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: then relax. They're constantly at like a slow burn all

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: the time. They're extremely structured. They like the same thing

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: every day. I don't like that. I want to go

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: then I want to retreat, Like that's the vibe, that's

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: the energy, And that has to happen in business too.

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: Do you have a business partner that's gonna be like,

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: let's fucking go right now, it's go time. We will

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: sleep when we're dead. Pros play hurt, but then when

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: it's calm, be like, all right, we all need a

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: work retreat. Everyone needs to relax. I'm staying home, I'm

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: getting a massage. You know, I need a break. Some

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: people energetically want to be working twenty four hours a day.

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Some people energetically want a work life balance. They need

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: to be home for their kids. They need to be

47
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: at every single recital. They want to be doing pick

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: up and drop off. It's all okay, but you need

49
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: to know before you get into business with someone. Business

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: compatibility is equally as important as relationship compatibility, and it

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: doesn't mean in either case it has to be the same.

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to be looking for someone exactly like you.

53
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: But if you are going to go burst, is that

54
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: person gonna then pick up the slack when you're bursting,

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, meaning they're gonna balance you out. They're gonna

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: be the yin to your yang. And the same thing

57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: in relationships, like you're gonna be the star, they're gonna

58
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: be the rock. You're gonna be nuts. They can handle

59
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: it nuts, they're gonna balance you out. Same thing in business.

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna have one person that's operations, logistics, strategy, a

61
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: little more weeds, little less sexy. The other person's the visionary,

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: the creator, the connector, the alive one, the person with

63
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: all the ideas, the rainmaker. That would be me, for example. Now,

64
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm very organized and I can deal with the other part,

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: but I can't get bogged down in weeds. I have

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: the idea. I know what we should do, I know

67
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: where we should go, I know everything about it, and

68
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: I know even how we're gonna get there. I could

69
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: give them the map. Someone else has to sit there

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: and look at the map and drive the boat and

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: make sure we get there. That's what I'm talking about

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: about business compatibility. I believe that this is the true

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: timeline of dating cycles. Okay, you're gonna have to listen

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: to me, because I go on social media. I listen

75
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: to these girls in their twenties and their thirties. They

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: don't know what the fuck they're talking about. They just

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: don't have enough institutional knowledge. I don't care if it's

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four or if you're holding a fucking club

79
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: in bedrock wearing a pelt. Okay, these things are true.

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: I do believe. I've always believed ninety days three months

81
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: is when you know if you're off to the races

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: or not. Like this, is when you have swum between

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: Cuba and Florida. You are halfway and you're like, are

84
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: we going to continue this thing or are we going back? Okay,

85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you're definitely imprinted. It also depends upon

86
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: the dynamic. Have you seen the person once or twice

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: a week? Are you seeing them all the time? A

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of things factor in. But if you are connected

89
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: and you are really dating someone and you're both intentional

90
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: about that with the same goals, after three months, you

91
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: will know we got a real fucking shot at this thing,

92
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: or we probably don't, and it can be a time

93
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: to reframe and redefine. Okay, and number two, I believe

94
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: that the first gauntlet is six weeks. In the very beginning,

95
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: both people are literally like dogs in the dog parks,

96
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: sniffing each other. They don't know. You don't know what

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: you get, the pheromones, you get the oxytocin. In the beginning,

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: you think there's an attraction, but there is a lot

99
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: to work out, depending upon what age you are. But

100
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: it could be religion, it could be location, It could

101
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: be family, It could be blending. It could be kids,

102
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: it could be parents, It can be jobs, lifestyles, a

103
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: person's a player. You're not you know, bier rhythms. It

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: could be a thousand things. Okay, it takes you at

105
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: least six weeks to even know if you know how

106
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: to walk together. You're like toddlers, like you can't, you're

107
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: not even like you don't even know what you're doing yet.

108
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: But once you hit like six weeks, you're like, all right,

109
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: we got a live one. We got a live one.

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: It's like in television production when you're like, we might

111
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: have a show. You don't definitely have a show, but

112
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: you know at a certain point if you might have

113
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: a show and it's never a day and it's never

114
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: a weekend, it's like a couple, you know, it's like

115
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: six weeks and you're like, I think we might have

116
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: a show. That's what it's like with dating. If you're

117
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: like I said, intentional and you know what's going on.

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: It's also a time you don't want to be crazy,

119
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: but where you want to somewhat define. Three months is

120
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: a real definition. Six weeks is a somewhat definition. It's like,

121
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: are we even going to get up to the starting line?

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, that's what I think,

123
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: And here's another thing I'm gonna tell you guys that

124
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: you gotta listen to. If you are dating someone and

125
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to train them now, they may not need

126
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: training or polish. They may seem like they need training

127
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: or polish because they too are scared and insecure and

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: they're sizing you up. Also, you are in the kingdom

129
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: in the jungle, either one and both of you are

130
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: animals sizing each other up. And we're always in our

131
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: own heads thinking we're the only one sizing the other

132
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: person up and we're the only one insecure. I have

133
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: learned it as equal. So both people are in their

134
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: own heads, maybe talking to their friends, different reasons, sizing

135
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: the other person up. Okay, here's a key that you

136
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: must remember. You need to know if this person can

137
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: be trained and can be what you want them to be,

138
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: because the last thing you want to do is be

139
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: on this road for nine months, fall for someone, and

140
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: then you find out. So you have to find the

141
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: delicate balance between letting someone know what you want and

142
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: need without seeming like a psychopath. It's like I want

143
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: to be married like a crazy person. Okay, you have

144
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: to find the delicate balance. And here's what I say

145
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: if something is not making you feel good, now you

146
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: don't just walk. I've said before, like get out of it.

147
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: Something may not be making you feel good because someone

148
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: else is also insecure. They have their own reasons or

149
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: patterns that you are not a mind reader. People do

150
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: not come with batteries included. You can't just take the

151
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: remote out and make them a robot. They've lived their

152
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: own grown ass life, been raised by their own grown

153
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: ass parents, had their own grown ass dysfunctional childhood. So

154
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: you can't expect them to be what your brain is

155
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: telling you. They're supposed to pay, they're supposed to open

156
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: the door, they're supposed to do this, they're supposed to

157
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: ask me this. This is a script you wrote that

158
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: they didn't sign. They don't know that, they didn't read.

159
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: They don't know anything about it, just like you don't

160
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: know what they want. I've been told things by people,

161
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: have data to been like, wait, what you cared about that?

162
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: I didn't fucking know. Okay, So if someone's doing something

163
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: that you don't like, not by text, you find a

164
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: way to communicate that without being too aggressive. But here's

165
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: the kicker, here's the most important thing. You have to

166
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: balance letting someone else know how interested in them you

167
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: are without being desperate. It's a confidence. It's like a

168
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: confidence to say, Hi, I got this, Like Hi, I'm

169
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: into you. But there's a butt. But make no mistake,

170
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're saying this. You may say this

171
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: at some point you're at you are being this. Make

172
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: no mistake. If I'm not getting what I need out

173
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: of this relationship, I will walk. So it is a

174
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: little bit like a business like meaning you're in something

175
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: with someone and you are so into them, and you

176
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: want them to know how into them you are, so

177
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: you can diffuse some of their insecurity. You want them

178
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: to feel safe, but you also want them to feel

179
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: equally unsafe if they're not treating you properly, meaning I

180
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: am so into you that like it hurts, but I

181
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: will also walk if I'm not treated like the prize

182
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: that I am, and like the prize that I'll treat

183
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: you like. So it's a fine line and there's a

184
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: confidence to it, and you know it because you hear

185
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: it in my voice. And that's something I've always been

186
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: good at. That's how I've gotten what I've wanted in

187
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: relationships or saved. So much time by being like, look,

188
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: remember I think I told you a long time ago

189
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: the story about the guy that like just kept saying like, well,

190
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to commitment. I'm like, no problem, And

191
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't evolving. The relationship wasn't moving forward. I don't

192
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: do two steps forward three steps back, Like, I don't

193
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: do that. I'll do two steps forward to a quarter,

194
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, one in three quarter steps back like maybe

195
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: we make some mistakes kind of, but I need to

196
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: be moving forward and evolving, and I'll tell someone that.

197
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: It's like if I don't do like no, and people

198
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: are attracted to confidence in relationship, like they're attracted to

199
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: knowing what you want without seeming like a psychopath. That's

200
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: a crying that you want to be engaged by spring.

201
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: It's not that it's the right balance so you are

202
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: confident and secure, and it's people will be completely into it.

203
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: Here's another thing. Someone could be a piece of coal

204
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: and become a diamond as long as the intention is there,

205
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: as long as you've said like if someone, if someone's

206
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: communicated to you that they're opened for business, you can

207
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: constructively criticize them, constructively give them notes. I like to

208
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: say notes if you find that they don't make the

209
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: same mistake twice if they take the note. It really

210
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if there are ten thousand mistakes, because you'll

211
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: work on them. If it's the same type of mistake

212
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: in another form, that's not good. But like, you don't

213
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: need to be bored. You don't need a fucking Rubik's cube.

214
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: It as all the sides lined up when you meet them.

215
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: It's okay to be a work in progress. If the

216
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: intention is there, and your intention is there too, you're

217
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna do the work too. That's kind of a great

218
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: relationship because that's a good business relationship too. It would

219
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: never be perfect. It's not a robot, So I think

220
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: that's great. Like, we want somebody to be perfect in

221
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: the beginning, but that's just too much to ask. And

222
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: haven't you been in a relationship where someone seemed perfect

223
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: in the beginning because you had rose colored glasses, and

224
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: then the wheels start coming off because you idealized who

225
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: they were and you expect them to live up to

226
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: that original perfection. I'd rather you know someone's polished and

227
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: flawed but has intention and is willing and wants to

228
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: do the work in the relationship. That's to me, the

229
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: best combination that I really like because it means someone

230
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: It's like someone working on a business. It means they

231
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: want it. Another thing I talked to my therapist about

232
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: is reframing things. When you're younger, you have these ideals

233
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: about what it has to be. Let's just say you

234
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: meet someone, you're dating them, and like you've decided what

235
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: the relationship has to be. Doesn't have to be with

236
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: who you're dating now, it could be with an X.

237
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: You've hated your ex. You guys aren't speaking. That's what

238
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: That's what you've determined. What if it evolves. What if

239
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: it becomes a situation where you don't hate your ex,

240
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: where like it's only positive, you don't think negative thoughts.

241
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: It's a person that you could call around the holidays,

242
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: and you're reframing it because it just opens things up

243
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: to be different. You could reframe how you think about

244
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: a parent that abused you, like it could be for yourself.

245
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: You could just hate them and have such a toxic

246
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: relationship to it. Or you could reframe it where you're

247
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: going to put it, put it in a different drawer,

248
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: reorganize it, talk to someone about it to let it breathe,

249
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: and it opens yourself up to so much more possibility

250
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: in different situations. I've had people that I've dated that

251
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: people around me want to know what it is because,

252
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: as my therapist said, certainty prevents anxiety, but it's kind

253
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: of a myth meaning it's like fool's gold. We want

254
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: to know what this is. I've spent this time with

255
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: this guy, I've seen met his family. I'm doing this.

256
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: We went a vacation, we did that, We did that.

257
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: Everybody around me is asking when don't we get engaged?

258
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: When is this happening? You want a definition, not only

259
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: for yourself but for other people, and it's trapping and

260
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: that definition will eliminate certain anxiety because it's giving you

261
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: an answer, but it could create other anxiety because you're

262
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: forcing an outcome before an outcome is possible. Like what

263
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: if you meet someone, you love them, you're attracted to them,

264
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: it's going great, but what if something comes up that

265
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: that might not work for you? You don't want to

266
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: just jam it, to jam certainty to try to alleviate anxiety.

267
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: Same thing even with a job, an opportunity, a friendship,

268
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: a sport, whatever it is, like you have to let

269
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: things breathe and reframe them and keep reframing them so

270
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: you open yourself up to possibility. It's really hard. When

271
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: I was younger, I never understood, just like dating, what

272
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: it would mean to like or just being with someone

273
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: in not knowing the outcome, and then we give ourselves

274
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: different things. Oh but I'm thirty seven. I can't be

275
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: dating someone right now unless I know I'm having a kid,

276
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: and then you're trapping yourself. I can't do this unless

277
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: i know that he's gonna convert because I'm Jewish. Like,

278
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: what if you're having an experience, being present, being in

279
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: the moment, being very Buddhist about it, and instead you're

280
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: trying to trap it, and then you eliminate the fun

281
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: you could have with this person for a chapter, maybe

282
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: you meet someone else through this person, you know. Being

283
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: my age, Oh, I'm this age and I can't I've

284
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: said this to myself sixty times, like in my life

285
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: at different stages. Oh well, at this age, I can't

286
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: waste time. It's times it's okay, like it's not to

287
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: be wasted where you're sitting on your couch smoking pot.

288
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: But if you're having an experience and you're happy and

289
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: you're being positive, and you're evolving as a person. Don't

290
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: try to crowd and trap what everything needs to be,

291
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: whether it's work or dating or anything. Don't give yourself

292
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: that kind of pressure. Reframe it. It could be even parenting.

293
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: You could be a perfect parent at a certain times,

294
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: so involved doing everything, sowing every costume go. Then you

295
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: could be a selfish parent. Your kid is fine, they're safe,

296
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: they're thriving at school, they're thriving. You're there for them

297
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: when they need you, But you want to fucking do

298
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: some shit for yourself. It's all okay. It's a reframing

299
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: and a rebalancing, and it will be very liberating. I

300
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: am literally happier than I've ever been in my life.

301
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: I would say I don't know why. I do know why.

302
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm just living truthfully. I'm being present, I'm in the

303
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: moment and it's working. So I always want to pass

304
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: it on to you. Let's talk about how men grieve

305
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: a relationship versus how women grieve. I've seen this time

306
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: and time again. Okay, break up, serious relationship, gutting, devastating

307
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: decision has been made. Off to the races. You'll have relapses.

308
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Both parties might have relapses. It's very hard to exit.

309
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: It's like exiting, you know. It's the worst possible thing.

310
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: It's like a divorce, it's a death. Great. Here's what happens.

311
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: Men desensitize, compartmentalize. They think they've got it. They've got big,

312
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: swinging dicks. They've been with the same person, presumably they

313
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: haven't been cheating for a while. They've been eating the

314
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: same fricking flavor every night. And they have guys around

315
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: them who are either married and living by carry so

316
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: they fucking dude, go get laid. Or guys who are

317
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: actually getting laid and need to justify it and want

318
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: to party and maybe the old guy at the club

319
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: or just out doing what they want, living the selfish lifestyle, okay,

320
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: Or they're married and they're cheaters and they need a

321
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: person to come be with them. Men go out. They

322
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: take that bait. They want to prove to themselves, to

323
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: their other guy friends and to their ex that they

324
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: can get laid. Any man can get laid anytime, anywhere.

325
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: Any person can get laid, and they want a flex,

326
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: and they often will want to go with someone younger,

327
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: someone younger, someone hot, or someone more stupid, someone that's

328
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: gonna listen to your bullshit, someone that seems so much

329
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: more interesting. And then they eat the same flavor. They

330
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: eat different versions of ice cream. One days it's vanilla sprinkles,

331
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: the next day it's chocolate, the next day it's the

332
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: next one. They go out and they're having fun. They're

333
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: fucking lit up. Maybe they're not used to drinking this much.

334
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: They get Sunday scaries, they get a little depressed, they

335
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: get the wings. They get back to work. They focus

336
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: on work. They're thriving, they're working out. Their abs are cut,

337
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: their biceps are bicepping. They're thrilled. Then they get sick

338
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: of the buffet. The buffet becomes tiring. They've seen it.

339
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: It looked so good when you walked up. You ever

340
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: go up to the buffet, looks so good when you

341
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: walk up. Twenty minutes later, you've got like the dressing

342
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: on top of fruit. They're on enough plates. You don't

343
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: know where to dispose of it. You want to start over.

344
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: You fucked up your whole plate. Doesn't matter whether you're

345
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: at Sizzler or the Mandarin Oriental two hundred dollars caviare

346
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: and sushi infested buffet. It's the same thing. You get

347
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: sick of it. You're like, get me out of here.

348
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't want this fucking buffet. I'm disgusted. I just

349
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: want like simple scrambled eggs and a piece of rye toast. Okay.

350
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: That's when they start looking back at the X or

351
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: they just start feeling defeated. They don't know what to do.

352
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: They start fantasizing about their their past relationship. They've now

353
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: become a little depressed. It's sort of like the way

354
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: the guys got in wedding crashers, where like they did

355
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: it. It was so exciting. They were banging chicks. Then they

356
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: got sick of the weddings. It looked depressing. They were

357
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: moving towards funerals. It was really not a good look.

358
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: That's how men grieve. Then they want to go back.

359
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,239
Speaker 1: They missed the X that they want the normal They

360
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: want the normalcy. That's when the husbands that were married

361
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: to the same boring wife that's doing pick up and

362
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: drop off in soccer and fricking gatorade and class snacks

363
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: and pta. They then want this person back because it's

364
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: a semblance of order. Men don't know how to do

365
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: anything for themselves. It's somebody who cares. It's somebody who's

366
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: there when you're sick, when you're snotting, when you're disgusting.

367
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: Who's giving you sympathy, when you're hungover, who's making you

368
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: the food, Who's taking care of it? Then men hit

369
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: their low. Women are the opposite. Women come out. They

370
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: hit their low right away. They smashed directly into a

371
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: brick wall. It's the ice cream, it's first. It's the

372
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: weight loss. It's the crying. It's the not eating. It's

373
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: the telling anyone who will listen. It's the drinking during

374
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: the day. It's the drama. It's the personality. You're break

375
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: up being your entire personality. It's hard to function. You're crying,

376
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: your eyes are swollen, it's hard to work. Everyone knows

377
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: about it. You have a circle of friends. You just

378
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: go in the round, rob and talk to anyone who

379
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: will listen. Maybe you do some therapy. You are going

380
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: in circles, okay, and then you slowly, like a bird

381
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: pecking out of the shell, just like slowly start pecking

382
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: your beak from the inside, like, Hi, are you there? God?

383
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: It's me Margaret wanting some daylight. You start moving towards

384
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: feeling a little better. You're going out. You're crying, but

385
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: you're out at dinner with other people. You're talking about it.

386
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: You're meeting someone one night, you might meet a handsome guy.

387
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: You might make the mistake of telling the handsome guy

388
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: about your ex because you're still a rookie. But you're

389
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: you're in the game. You start it. You decide it's

390
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: a good idea to start working out for rebellion for yourself. Now,

391
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're a person that works out,

392
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: and your ex never saw you work out, just like

393
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: the guy that you were in the relationship but that

394
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: also broke up with you, that's now working out all

395
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: of a sudden, his corvette and his biceps, of his personality.

396
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: But now you start working out. You also decide you

397
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: want a different style. You might want a different hairstyle.

398
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: You're kind of a different person. You're more social, you

399
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: do things you wouldn't. You're the fun girl friend. You're fun,

400
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: and then you fucking become a peacock. You are done.

401
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: You are having the glow up of your whole fucking life.

402
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: So at the same time that this woman who is

403
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: eating the ice cream, begging, And it's actually better to

404
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: be the woman because the woman is like sort of

405
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: still a little desperate. In the beginning, you're still sort

406
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: of maybe even begging. You may want to get back together,

407
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: even though you know it's wrong. You're still fantasizing your relationship.

408
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: You're eating the ice cream. You're just kind of a

409
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a loser. You know you're a loser.

410
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: You pray that one day you won't look at your phone,

411
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: you won't look at the text, you won't pray for it,

412
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: you won't wonder you know what's wrong with your phone,

413
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: you won't beg for him to call, you won't want

414
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: the revenge, all of it. And then one day the

415
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: skies open up and you won't and you are the

416
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: fucking full fledged peacock. And it's better because in the beginning,

417
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: when it's all like new and everybody's sort of a

418
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: little miserable, that's when you go into your main misery,

419
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: so you kind of get it out of the way.

420
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: It's not really on a delay, but the man. So

421
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: when that peacock really fucking put it's all its feathers

422
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: out in full bloom, that's when the man hits rock

423
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: bottom and the combination is lethal. That's when the man

424
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: comes in seeing the peacock, wanting the peacock back, and girl,

425
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: you are so fucking far away, you are showing your colors,

426
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: and that guy will take a lot longer. He will

427
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: now go hard. And if you ever want to see

428
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: this in true example, go look at I think it

429
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: was David Mammott play About last Night, the movie with

430
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: Rob Low and de Me Moore. It is the quintessential

431
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: breakup movie, way better than The Breakup. The Breakup did

432
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: that a little with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, but

433
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: Rob Low and to Me Moore and About last Night

434
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: crystallizes the whole entire thing. Crystallizes. She finally fucking got

435
00:21:42,359 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: her power back and it's over. He told me that

436
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: to do the bus
