1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Do you believe that you are really going to make it?

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: You've got dreams, You've got goals. You see these images

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: in your mind of you with the trophy, with you

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: with the humongous company, with you with the investors you know,

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: hanging out, you know, chasing you down, trying to invest

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: in your thing. Do you believe that you are really

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: going to sell a million of your widgets? Do you

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: believe that you can be a billionaire? I get you, know,

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: if you talk about making it, because that's what we

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: do as a culture. But deep downside, so many of

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: us don't actually believe that we're going to make it.

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: I get it because I speak to people all the

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: time who talk about how big their business is going

14
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: to be, what they're gonna buy when they quote unquote

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: make it, or how people who doubted them will eat crow,

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: but their actions don't actually line up to what they

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: say they believe and truth many of us are just

18
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: only fooling ourselves when I fooling anybody else but ourselves.

19
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: And see, it's one thing to talk about how you're

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna make your dreams of reality, but it's another thing

21
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: to get to the gym. It's cool to talk about

22
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: how dope it's going to be when when you're a millionaire.

23
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: But it's another thing to learn how to save and

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: invest with the little income you have today. If you

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: say you believe, but your actions are not in sync

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: with what you're talking about, then you've got to check yourself. Now. Look,

27
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: we can talk another time about how to actually be

28
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: about it, but today's conversation is not about that. Today's conversation,

29
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: here's what I'd like to talk about. When you are

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: actually determined that you're gonna make it, and you know

31
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: the success you're after is only a matter of time,

32
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: you need to document that journey. What too many of

33
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: us think erroneously is that success is a destination, like

34
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: one day you're gonna wake up and suddenly be successful. Nah,

35
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: So if you wake up, you're getting after it. Every

36
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: day you are successful. Every week you squirrel away a

37
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: hundred dollars to buy your first piece of real estate,

38
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: you're successful every one of those weeks. Everyone that you've

39
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: dedicated yourself to achieving the thing, and you've done the work,

40
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: you've put in the hours, you're successful getting to the

41
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: closing table when you buying your first piece of real

42
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: estate that's a chapter in the story of success. But

43
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: you were successful. In fact, you had to be successful

44
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: to even get to the closing table. We got to

45
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: give ourselves some credit along the way. So what we're

46
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: gonna talk about today is first prescribing the journey, like

47
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: writing it in advance. These are like goal setting sorts

48
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: of things. Then capturing the process of achievement, failure, even redemption,

49
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: all of all of those things. We want to capture

50
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: these things. There's Here's why we're talking about it is

51
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: there's a quote that I love and it's attributed to

52
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: several people, but I'm going to give the credit to

53
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: the legendary entrepreneur, author and speaker Jim Ron who said,

54
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: a life worth living is a life worth recording. Let's

55
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: say that again, a life worth living is a life

56
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: worth recording. You could have just rewound to hear that twice,

57
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: but I wanted to say twice because it was hard

58
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: to me. So me myself, I have young kids, right

59
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: and so for the most part, unless I'm traveling, I

60
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: see my kids every day. And since we live in

61
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: the day of ever present cell phones, I have a

62
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: lot of video and photos of them since the day

63
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: they were born. And the reason why I bring up

64
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: how often I see them, which again is like every

65
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: day unless I'm on the road, is because being so

66
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: close to the situation, being so close to them could

67
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: have me confused about how much and how fast they're growing.

68
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: So it's really only when I'm out of town for

69
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: a few days or I look back at footage of

70
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: them where I can actually see how much they've grown

71
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: in so little time. And the same goes few and

72
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: your journey towards your business success. You can be so

73
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: close to the daily operations, the struggles, the heart ache

74
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: that goes along with entrepreneurship and running a business, that

75
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: you don't even see how far you've come. And this

76
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: is natural, you know, when you're doing the thing, you

77
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: don't realize. Hey, you don't realize often that the problems

78
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: you're dealing with today you prayed for, you worked for

79
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: a year ago, five years ago. You don't even realize

80
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: it because you're so consumed about the issues and the

81
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: successes even and the blessings, the whatever you're dealing with today.

82
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: You don't even think about what you dealt with yesterday

83
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: because you're here now, and it's so easy to forget

84
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: that it wasn't always like this. And so when I

85
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: talk about documenting the journey, and we're gonna talk today

86
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: about how to document the journey, the several ways you

87
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: can document the journey based on your personal you know, proclivity,

88
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: like the things that you are naturally drawn to. So

89
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about those things. But documenting the journey

90
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: is not just for you. Documenting the journey, it's about

91
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: two people, future you and the people coming behind you.

92
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: The people who will look at your story and say,

93
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: I think it's possible. Look at it. Somebody did it.

94
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Here's what they learned. Here's the things that they went through.

95
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't have to go through. And it's for future you.

96
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: It's for you five years from now, it's for you

97
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: ten years from now. It's for future you and your family.

98
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: Who's your grandkids. One day, your great grandkids will read

99
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: those stories, will listen to those stories, will watch those

100
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: stories of you present day and your YouTube videos, you know,

101
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: your your blog posts. They will watch those things. They

102
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: will read those things and they will say, look at

103
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: what grand daddy did, look at what grandmama did. In

104
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: future you was your future you get reminded that it

105
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: wasn't always like this when you're driving around and that

106
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: thing that you dream today about driving around, because that

107
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: thing is coming. One day, you're gonna you're gonna have

108
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: a day where you're like, goodness, gracious, like I'm getting

109
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: here from all sides, like could anything else go wrong?

110
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: And then you get a chance to go look back

111
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: at you today, which then would be history, and say,

112
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: you know what I remember when I begged for the

113
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: problems that I have today, when everything seems good, you

114
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: get a chance to remember and be grateful. So I

115
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: wanted to spend just a few minutes here just an

116
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: effort to convince you that documenting the journey again in

117
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: any way that seems best fitting for you and your style,

118
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: is worth it. So several years ago it had to

119
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: be you know, five or six years ago. Um, I

120
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: started journaling, and I don't do it religiously. I don't

121
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: do it nearly enough. But I did start journaling. You know,

122
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: there's probably you know, blank blank pages between entries that

123
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, days that I missed, probably weeks that I missed.

124
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: To be honest with there weeks that I missed. But

125
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: there are journals that I've kept, you know, I have

126
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: friends who journal, and then they throw all the journals

127
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why do you throw them out? Like

128
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: I want to keep the record, so I don't throw

129
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: away like journals that have been completed, like done with.

130
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: I want to keep them because one day, and this

131
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: is happening. I look back at those journals that I wrote,

132
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: those journal entries that I wrote from five six years ago,

133
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, who is that guy? I don't even

134
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: recognize myself because that guy from five six years ago

135
00:08:55,040 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: was complaining about things that are like meaningless to me today.

136
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: The guy who was journaling about things that he wanted

137
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: five six years ago, those things I have now, and

138
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, they mean nothing. The guy five six years

139
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: ago who was journaling about the businesses he wanted to start,

140
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't even have an interest in so many of

141
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: those things anymore. And also, to be fair to myself,

142
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: the guy who was wishing for the things that I

143
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: have today, Reading those things back caused me to say,

144
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: you know what, it's really good. I'm living out what

145
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: I prescribed. I get a chance to reflect and have

146
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: a moment of gratitude, like, look, you know, while I'm

147
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: talking about how many issues I've dealt with today, how

148
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: many people's attitudes I had to deal with today, how

149
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: many financial decisions I had to make, the ones that

150
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: aren't easy, and many of them are not easy, the

151
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: ones that I have to deal with every single day.

152
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: I look back at the guy six years ago who

153
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: goodness like, had no idea he would ever how he

154
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: would get to them. Knew I would get there, but

155
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: didn't know how. And I'm dealing with those things today,

156
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: wishing five years ago, six years ago that I had

157
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: the sort of problems, and now that I'm in the problems,

158
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: they are problems for real, but you you get the

159
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: chance to look back and just like wow, like I'm

160
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: actually living them out. This is what this is what

161
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: it feels like to have those dreams. I asked for

162
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: it and should have been more careful, but I'm living it.

163
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: The same is true for you if you actually did

164
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: the work to document the journey. So today, and we're

165
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: deep into this conversationation already, but I want to talk

166
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: to you about three separate ways that you can document

167
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: your journey. Now. For me, I have I use all three,

168
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: so but not everybody is has that particular band like

169
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: this is these are things that that work for me,

170
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: but you don't have to do all three. Pick one

171
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: if you're okay, Pick two if you're good, pick three

172
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: if you legit. UM. So first one up writing and

173
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: this is privately via a personal journal or publicly via

174
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: a blog. There are benefits and you know, downsides to either.

175
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: The personal journal is like my my journal that I

176
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: use the Full Full Focus Journal by Michael Hyatt, and

177
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: I also have UM the Growth Notebook by the Bone

178
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: and Code. So either of them, like they have, they

179
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: are completely different in so many ways, and but they

180
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: both have triggers, things that help you to you know,

181
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: inspire you to figure out what to write. And so

182
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: often we sit down to write and we don't know

183
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: like how to get started. It's like writing like songs,

184
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: like writing a rap, Like if you've ever like have

185
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: been a songwriter, if you ever tried to write a

186
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: song or a poem or whatever, it's like the first

187
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: line is like sometimes the hardest part because if you

188
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: can get the first line down, if the first line

189
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: is fired, then you can keep going. But that first

190
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: one has got to be the banger. So anyway, the

191
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: I use the full Full Focused Journal UM most frequently,

192
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: but I also have the growth notebook. But the personal

193
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: journal it's for you and this this is the one

194
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: where it's you know, almost it's mus be honest, like

195
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: it's it's like a diary. It's like, you know, the

196
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: diary used to be, like, you know, have a negative

197
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: connotation for males and for men, and but the journal,

198
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: the diary is a way for you to document what

199
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: you're feeling when you're going through what's happening in your life.

200
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: And it's a way for you to kind of just

201
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: exhaust all of that stuff onto paper. And I save

202
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: all nine so I have, you know, in my library,

203
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: I have several, that's probably eight or nine of them

204
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: by now, journals that I've completed, because particularly the full

205
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: focused ones, they are dated and so like money through

206
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: Um Sunday, every date has a page. And so when

207
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: I completed, I put it away. And there are some

208
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: that I haven't looked at in years. There are some

209
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm sure have things in there that

210
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: I would look at myself and like, what in the

211
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: world were you talking about? But that's the whole point.

212
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting a chance, an opportunity to recognize my growth.

213
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: So the personal journal is something that really only you

214
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: get the benefit of those learning experiences, but it's still

215
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: valuable because you're still on your journey. Blogging, on the

216
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: other hand, is something that you get all those same benefits,

217
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: all those same things, but also other people get an

218
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to learn and to to oh, this is so cool.

219
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: They get to learn from your journey, but they also

220
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: get to just watch it. And so there there's somebody

221
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: out there who I'm not necessarily on a similar path

222
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: that they're on. I'm not necessarily, you know, like taking

223
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: specific nuggets that are applicable to my life. I'm just

224
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: enjoying the show, and that has value. Also, I don't

225
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: want to discount that part, because not everything has to

226
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: be so deep. I just get to watch the homie win.

227
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: I get to watch the whomie, the homie grow, I

228
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: get to watch him like level up, get upgraded. I

229
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: get to watch that, and that's inspiring. And so while

230
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't particularly have anything directly relevant to my journey,

231
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: I get to cheer for you. I get to clap

232
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: for you from a distance. And so the personal journal

233
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: is for you and you alone. The blog is for you,

234
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: but it's also for us. It's also for your community,

235
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: for the people who are learning behind you, and for

236
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: the people rooting for you. So if you don't have

237
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: necessarily a proclivity for video, Um, you don't like the

238
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: way you talk or look on camera, that's completely fine.

239
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: You don't like your voice, and you don't want to podcast,

240
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: you don't want to do audio recordings. You just like

241
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: to write, and writing comes naturally to you. I would

242
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: recommend finding a personal journal. I've already mentioned it. Two.

243
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: I use the Full Focused Journal by Michael Hyah and

244
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: the Growth Notebook by the Ball and the Code. And

245
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: you get to writing, and you make it a point

246
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: and again I can't I'm gonna preacher to quiet here.

247
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: You make it a point to do it regularly. Regularly,

248
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: you make it a part of your daily routine, or

249
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: at least weekly routine, because I mean, I'm talking to

250
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: myself and I'm I'm I suck at some of this,

251
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: but you need to document it because you will look

252
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: back at yourself a month from now and see stuff

253
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: and you're like, yo, I was tripping thirty days ago.

254
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:30,239
Speaker 1: Next up, audio recordings. Audio recordings? Are you taking your iPhone?

255
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm a knifephone user um and you opening your voice

256
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: memo app, and let's say you have a ten minute

257
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: commute to work, right or a ten minute commute to

258
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: the office to your office, and you just only your way.

259
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: You just kind of unload all the things that you're

260
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: thinking about. They don't even have to make sense. Here's

261
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: the part that I had to learn about documenting journeys.

262
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: I wanted them to be organized. I'm a producer, so

263
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: I do adit video, I adit audio, I can write,

264
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: I can do all of these things. And so to me,

265
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: my natural bend was to have things that looked good

266
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: the minute they were laid down, that read well the

267
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: minute they were written, that were beautiful and listened like,

268
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: they sounded great the minute they were recorded, the minute

269
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: the vokes dropped. So to me, it was difficult to

270
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: get past it was it was more challenging than it

271
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: might be for others to get past the idea that

272
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: it didn't have to sound good, it just has It

273
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: didn't even have to be clear. It could be a

274
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: word I was thinking about even, like like when you're

275
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: writing in a personal journal and you just thought of

276
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: a word that has been bothering you like, just I'm

277
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna make this up. So let's let's say

278
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: you're writing about, you know, a relationship you have, and

279
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: in a moment, the word cash for low comes up,

280
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: and it's your cash flow has been bothering you. You

281
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: can write the word cash flow in the sidebar of

282
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: your journal and then go back to the whole idea

283
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: about the relationship. That's completely fine. It didn't make sense

284
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: to anybody else reading it from the outside, but for

285
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: some reason to you it needed to get out. And

286
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: then a month from now, a year from now, two

287
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: years from now, you'll remember when you're reading the thing

288
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: about the relationship, and you'll see the word cash flow

289
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: over there on the sidebar, the edges of the paper,

290
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, whoa, I remember what I was going through. Oh,

291
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 1: it's all starting to make sense. The same thing with

292
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: audio recordings. You don't edit yourself. You just talk into

293
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: this recorder and you just say what's on your mind.

294
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: You say what's going on, you'll say what you've learned,

295
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: you'll say the mistakes you made. Because this is for you,

296
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: your recording. It's the personal journal version of an audio recording.

297
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: You just talked and then one day, a year from now,

298
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: two years from now, five years from now, you have

299
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: all these recordings. I have recordings from six years ago

300
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: in my voice memos from iPhones I've had in days

301
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: before because they all just poured over when I buy

302
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: a new phone, and then I go back and I

303
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: listened to those. I also like produce music, so I

304
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: have like voice memos that are like just like melodies

305
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: and like drum rhythms go. I'll go back and listen

306
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: like Yo, that that's that's fired, Like I need to

307
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: put that down for real. But your voice recording is

308
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: a way of documenting your journey. If you want to

309
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: go public with it, Let's take it a step further.

310
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: You do the same thing and you make a podcast.

311
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: Today's your day to think about consider considering making your

312
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: own podcast. And guess what. Your podcast does not have

313
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: to be the biggest podcast on the planet. You aren't

314
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: striving for that. You're striving for documenting the journey. Have

315
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: you guys watched um Kanye West documentary Genius on Netflix.

316
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: It's an appropriate time to talk about this if you

317
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: watch that documentary, because I may bring this whole documentary

318
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: up a couple of different times. The documentary, any documentary

319
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen, was not necessarily designed to be

320
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: like the most beautifully shot it was. It's not supposed

321
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: to like Avatar. It's not supposed to be like some

322
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: eight K because four K is so like. It's not

323
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be eight K like. It's supposed to be

324
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: raw and real and all of those things. It's not

325
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be just some beautiful cinema production. We want

326
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: to get in the trenches, we want to see it,

327
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: we want to feel something when we're watching this thing.

328
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,239
Speaker 1: And so when you are podcasting for the sake of

329
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: documenting your journey, the only goal you should have is

330
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: not numbers. The goal you should have is what is recorded?

331
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: Is it real? And does it feel authentic? Is it authentic?

332
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: Forget feeling? Is it authentic to where I'm at? Because

333
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: if the content is there, the whole purpose is to

334
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: make a historical record. That's the whole purpose. Because it

335
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: may have three listeners today, but when you finally hit

336
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: your thing, god knows how many people will clamor for

337
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: that content. I read the guys who produced that content

338
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: got twenty million dollars from Netflix, and it was just

339
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: like raw footage, stuff that was sometimes out of focus,

340
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: stuff that was like grainy, stuff that was like the

341
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: audio wasn't always good. But it was this moment in

342
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: time that was non fungible, non fungible. So we'll talk

343
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: about n f t s with regards to your your documentation,

344
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: but it was these moments that you can't get back.

345
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: They were one of ones. They were you can't trade

346
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: them for anything else that those were times that came

347
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: in times that have gone. So think about that as

348
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: you're documenting, like they don't these things the video recordings

349
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: you might make. Because we talked about personal journals versus blogs,

350
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: we've talked about audio recordings versus audio recordings for your

351
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: personal use and podcasting video recording. You could just prop

352
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: up your camera and just talk to your phone and

353
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: record it and save it in your photo album, or

354
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: you could put it on YouTube. And it doesn't matter

355
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: what it looks like. The purpose here with regards to

356
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: this conversation is documenting it, putting it down in the

357
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: historical record. And so when you're documenting your journey, the

358
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: content is supposed to be you, not the filtered version.

359
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: I believe, I believe this, I believe we are because

360
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: the way we're doing this is playing out. This is

361
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: why I believe it. We're increasingly moving towards a version

362
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: of the Internet where flaws are valuable. We had this

363
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: several year moment in history where when Instagram launch and

364
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: you can put filters on, when photoshot, people really got

365
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: good at that, and you can take away all the blemishes,

366
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: like those days are those days are numbered. In so

367
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: many ways, we are moving towards a day where people

368
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: just want to see what's real. We've been spoon fed

369
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: stuff that's not real for so long, and at some

370
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: point we want some nonfiction. That's what we're moving to.

371
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: And the things that actually look manufactured, things that look

372
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: like they've been cleaned up and plastic arized, they don't

373
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: even get the engagement that's something that is completely organic

374
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: would get. Something that was shot on the fly. The

375
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: thing that shot on the fly actually gets more engagement

376
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: because the thing that's cleaned up and made perfect looks

377
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: like an ad to the average consumer. The average person

378
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: who's just flipping through the timeline gets less engagement. So

379
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: the content should be authentic. You should strive for authenticity.

380
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: You should work because really the only reason you're not

381
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: authentic on social is because you believe you have to proceed,

382
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: you have to show something to the world that is

383
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: not you. But it's you on steroids. So it's really

384
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: you that has to work do those issues, not us.

385
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: I said I would come back to this, and I've

386
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: already touched on it. Actually pretty good it, but I

387
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: just I wanted to put a staple here because I

388
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: talked about n f t s very briefly. And when

389
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: you're documenting your journey, imagine if the producers of Genius,

390
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: the Netflix documentary for Kanye West, instead of putting it

391
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: on Netflix, they took each of those clips and they

392
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: put it on open c and they made n f

393
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: t s out of it. And they took those early

394
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: Kanye b's and instead of you know, just showing them

395
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: or distributing them in a different way, they made each

396
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: of those beats available for somebody to own. Some rapper

397
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: out there, some upcoming artists that you know what, I'm

398
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: about to buy this MP three and I own it

399
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: on the blockchain. I'm talking about you. I'm using Kanye

400
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: as an example. But again, we believe you believe you're

401
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: gonna make it, and since you believe that one day,

402
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: your early iterations of your product one day, the early

403
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: drawings of your idea one day, the business plan you

404
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: wrote on a napkin one day, the early versions of

405
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: your prototype will be valuable to somebody. Why not make it?

406
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: It's it's that's all that exists is the ideas that

407
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: came out of your head. The ideas evolve over time.

408
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: But what if those early ideas were documented and made

409
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: into non fungible assets on the blockchain, made into end

410
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: the tease. So not only do you get an opportunity

411
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: to realize the rewards of the ultimate thing, but you

412
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: also get to realize the rewards and engage your community

413
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: with a one of one asset that is out there

414
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: for the world to enjoy in the form of a

415
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: non fungible token. The early pictures of you in your

416
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: garage office, of you and your you know apartment office,

417
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: you know, when you and five of your friends are

418
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: you and two of your friends were in the early

419
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: days of building your startup, Like, imagine what it looks

420
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: like ten years from now when you guys said the billy,

421
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: and you've got these images that the world has never seen.

422
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: But now you're the rockstar tech founder. You're the rock star,

423
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: you know crypto whale, You're the rock star, you know speaker,

424
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: You're the rock star entrepreneur, You're the next Jeff Bezos.

425
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: And you are displaying these images, displaying these early days,

426
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: these video clips, these audio recordings of the early days

427
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: of you building your thing. Has value to the people

428
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: coming behind you, has value to the people who are

429
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: cheering you on. So what should you document? As much

430
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: as you can? I guess a better question is, like,

431
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: what do people want to see? Don't think about what

432
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: people want to see documents. You don't know what people

433
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: want to see. You don't have a crystal ball. People

434
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: want to see more than you think they want to see.

435
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: Too often we talk ourselves out of documenting content because

436
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: we believe nobody cares about a particular moment. We believe,

437
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, that some things are just insignificant to

438
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: other people. Today. The truth is they might be, but

439
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: tomorrow they may be everything. Imagine this. Imagine having an

440
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: early version of a Pierre Moss sneaker. Imagine what that

441
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: would go for if it was the production sample and

442
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: the sample had a mistake in it. He said he

443
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: had to send it back. Imagine what that goes for

444
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: versus the one that he finally perfected, and there's a

445
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: thousand of them on the market, Which one do you

446
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: think would be more valuable? The one that is a

447
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: one of one, the mistake, Because you can't get this,

448
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: this is the this is the this is the prototype.

449
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: I got the earl, I got the stuff. You can't

450
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: get It's rare. You gotta know somebody to get this.

451
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: You gotta know somebody who knows somebody to get this.

452
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: It's exclusive. Only so many people have this. A thousand

453
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: people have the production model, one person has the sample.

454
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: The production sample value scarcity. What I want you to

455
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: come away with this after listening to this episode. What

456
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: I want you to leave with is a renewed desire. First,

457
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: because you won't do it if you don't have the desire,

458
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: but a renewed desire. Two, be inspired by your own story.

459
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:52,880
