Well, you know, I loved 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: your introduction because you were, um, you know, really hitting 25 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: at home that you have to plan in order to 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: be successful. You have to know it what you want 27 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: and you have to make a plan. If you don't 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: plan and have some sort of vision on where you 29 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: want to go, you're just like a boat without a rudder. 30 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: You're just gonna address. So what we do in an 31 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: Intentions retreat is we really uncover what was good and 32 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: what did you not feel was so good for the 33 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: previous year, and we let those things go. Then we 34 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: make a real plan for what is gonna look like. 35 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: I want to get a vision from each and every person, UM, 36 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: so that if they got to December one and they 37 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: turned around and looked at what their year produced, I 38 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: want to know what they hope to see. Then what 39 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: we do is we get that down on paper, We 40 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: get that down in in powerful word statements, We get 41 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: that down in a daily practice of reviewing those goals 42 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: regularly and also making sure that they're calm enough to 43 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: recognize what Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, 44 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: and I use, which is something that because you can't 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: see it, I call it spiritual, but it's intuition. It's 46 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: that gut instinct and those subconscious messages that are going 47 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: to show up and point the direction for us to 48 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: take action on a path to achieve those goals. So 49 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: it's a lot of work. We're going to go deep. 50 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: It's very empowerful, empowering, and very very fun. It's at 51 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: Unity Village, which is just about thirty five miles away 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: from Kansas City Airport right and can see the airport 53 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: is right bout a hundred miles away from Kansas City. 54 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: That is, the airport is so far away from kNs 55 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: like wow, man, I mean another state, But it does 56 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: feel that way.

And 81 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: now when I when I was now, let's talk about 82 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: this title. The name of your business be as Easy 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: you all t Z results. Where did that come from? Well, 84 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: that's the what we do is we accelerate business results. 85 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: So it's a play on business results. And that particular 86 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: company has a number of different arms. The first is 87 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: speaking and teaching around the world, so we do public events, 88 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: but we also do a lot of private events. And 89 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: then I also have executive consulting. I'll work with mostly 90 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: ceo s or executive leadership. I'm really trying to figure 91 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: out a way to achieve that next level of success. 92 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: And then the other part is are the books and 93 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: other materials that we create. I have another company which 94 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: is my angel investment company, my real estate holdings UM 95 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: and other things that I do to produce your revenue. No, 96 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: let measure this because I've heard this this this angel investor. 97 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: What exactly is an angel investor? An angel investor is 98 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: a high net worth individual who may not know the 99 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: venture that's out fundraising. So usually in a startup, and 100 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I've had six, well seven startups, um, And in a startup, 101 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: you usually go through the phases of boots trapping, so 102 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: use your own money. I remember mortgaging a couple of 103 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: properties and and you know, selling everything that I had 104 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: in order to get businesses started. UM. So you boots trap. 105 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: Usually the founder and anybody else that might be a 106 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: partner gets involved in that stage. After you prove that 107 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: some stuff is working, then you go to your friends 108 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: and family stage. These are people that know your character, 109 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: that know you. You don't have to be as formal 110 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: because you know they've known you for a very long 111 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: time and trust your ability to execute on a business plan. 112 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: So bill come in for money the very first time 113 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: that you go out. Two investors that are not part 114 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: of that friends and family group. Those are angel investors. 115 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure how we got the title, but 116 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: if you look at the show Shark Tank, those are 117 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: angel investors. And now, granted they're much wealthier and when 118 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: they invest they have a lot more zeros. Most of 119 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: the time, angel investors will come in when the company 120 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: is an early stage company may be valued up to 121 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: five or ten million dollars for that seed round of 122 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: angel investment, and then they go into A rounds and 123 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: B rounds, and then you get the venture capitalists that 124 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: come in after angel investors.

So I as you make what is 156 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: your version of wealth? Your definition? My definition of wealth 157 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: is to be whole and complete, lacking nothing in all 158 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: areas of your life. And when I say all areas, 159 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: really what I'm focusing on our six major areas your finances, 160 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: the use of your skills and talents or your work, 161 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: your relationships, your health, your recreation so that you have 162 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: a balanced life that can recreate things. And your spiritual connection. 163 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, whatever whatever you feel that you need to 164 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: connect to, whether it's God or or the divine or 165 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: an inner wisdom, whatever that is that that allows you 166 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: to tap in to some intelligence that that stems from 167 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: within as the gut instinct, the strong thought of feeling 168 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: in your heart and luge um. That kind of connection um, 169 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: I think shows up more often when you connect to 170 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: it more. You know, when you when you talk like this. 171 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: When I hear you talk, you know there there there, 172 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: You know you have to at one point, you know, 173 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: when you start discussing these values, of these ideas, of 174 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: these concepts of where you get your inner strength, where 175 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: you get your belief of how you are successful, did 176 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: you have to go through a period of people question you, 177 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: uh that that that that that sounds good, that sounds hokey, 178 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: or that sounds like, uh, you know whatever. But I'm 179 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: a ride out with my my philosophy and your philosophy works. 180 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm trying to ask here? Yeah? Sure, 181 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: you know. It's a it's a fine mind to bring 182 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: any sort of religious or spiritual belief into your work, right, 183 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: And fortunately there are some pioneers like Bill Gates who 184 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: sit often you have to rely on intuition, and Steve 185 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: Jobs from out Well said, you have to have courage 186 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: to rely on your heart and intuition. And Oprah Winfrey 187 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: said she's listened to that still small voice of intuition 188 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: every day of her life, and the only time that 189 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: she's made mistakes is when she does st liveson. So 190 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: all of them, including Steven Spielberg, Thomas Sentisen, Albert Einstein 191 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: and so many more were the trailblazers in talking about 192 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: this kind of thing. So what I did in my 193 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: last two companies, but more importantly in my last company 194 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: because we were acquired by a fortune two and in 195 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: my last company, I decided I wanted to bring this 196 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: source of intuition. And I don't really care what people 197 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: called it, because it's none of my business what people 198 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: believe spiritually or religiously. But I knew there was a 199 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: source of intuition, and I brought it into my company 200 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: and I called it the Chief Spiritual Officer or CSO. 201 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: And you know, it was in my c suite like 202 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: the CFO in the CEO. I put it at the 203 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: top of my organ chart, and I, as the CEO, 204 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: reported to it. So naturally my employees to ask me, 205 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: who in the world is a CSO? Is it a 206 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: man or a woman? Do we get to meet them? 207 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: And my comment was, look, this is a principle. And 208 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: here's the principle. If you run into a customer that's 209 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: I rate or upset, I want you to stop, take 210 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: some deep breaths and think about that customer being happy. 211 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: And I want you to think about that customer getting 212 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: what they need in order to operate optimally. And as 213 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: you start using gratitude statements for that, you may just 214 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: get an innovative or creative idea. And when that happens, 215 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: I want you to let me know, because that's the 216 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: CSO principal. And I tell you what I received, text messages, 217 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: um emails, phone calls from my employees saying, oh my gosh, 218 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. UM. I went in fully expecting 219 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: to have the customer upset, and I kept saying, I'm 220 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: grateful that they're happy that I walked in, and they said, 221 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: guess what, it's not your fault. We found the error 222 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: in our system and everything's working fine. That happened over 223 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: and over and over again. And for our salespeople, they 224 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: were guided and directed to so many different weird, you know, 225 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: beyond the rational mind situations to become market share leader 226 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: in terms of new sales. And we were competing against 227 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: twenty companies, so that CSO principle really were if you 228 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: stay focused on what you want outcomes to be instead 229 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: of the problem, which I appreciate. We're talking to May McCarthy. Uh. 230 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: The book we're discussing is the Gratitude Formula, a seven 231 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: step success system to create a life that you love. 232 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: In this book, you will learn the importance of gratitude 233 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: as a valuable part of a daily system for success 234 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: so that you can experience more of the good things 235 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: that you desire, whether you want greater financial freedom, improved health, 236 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: satisfying work, harmonious relationships, regular, regular recreation, and the means 237 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: to enjoy it. You can use this daily system for 238 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: success to enable you to receive all of the things 239 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: that you wanted more. That's what when I was reading 240 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: the book, it is you the reason I'm enjoying u 241 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: this interview with you, because you care a lot of 242 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: values that I speak about on the show about self motivation. 243 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: A lot of people call in on the show talk 244 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: about their faith. Uh and like you said, faith is 245 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: whatever you call it, but they have some some divine 246 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: force or some that allows you to stay competitive, stay organized, 247 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: stay focused. And that's what you're talking about when you're 248 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: talking about to see s oh that you put above 249 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: the CEO in your life. And it's a lot of 250 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: people want to characterize that they need more of a 251 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: a defined presence or physical presence, And you're saying all 252 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: this is driven by emotion. All is driven by it, 253 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: and and an inner gut instinct or intuition that ride 254 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: that first thought. And that's why always say on the show, 255 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: go with the first thought. If you're going with the 256 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: second and third, that's not too good instinct anymore. The 257 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: first thought, your first thought is your good instinct, correct, right. Well, 258 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: it could come in a number of different ways. For instance, UM, 259 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been to Cleveland before, but 260 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: I had. Yeah, I've had some large customers there because 261 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: it's a great hospital town. And I found myself in Cleveland. 262 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: I got off the plane, grabbed my bags, got my 263 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: rental car, went to the hotel and dropped everything off, 264 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: and then I went to the I was going to 265 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,239 Speaker 1: go to the closest grocery store it's about five minutes away, 266 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: to pick up protein shakes and water and things like that. 267 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: And when I got in the car, I had a 268 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: very strong thought, that first thought about a grocery store 269 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes a way. Well, that didn't make any sense, 270 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: and my rational mind tried to talk me out of it. 271 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: But I know, like you, that perhaps that's something that 272 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: I need to pay attention to. So I sat there 273 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: for a moment and I thought, you know, I should 274 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: probably make the drive. Maybe everything will beyond sale. So 275 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: he did, and when I was walking into the grocery store, 276 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: there was a guy who was walking out who I recognized. 277 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: I met him six months before at a trade show. 278 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: He represented a giant new customer and he was not 279 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: returning any of my phone calls or emails for an appointment, 280 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: and here we are face to face. So while while 281 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: I was talking to him, he said, look, while you're 282 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: in town, come make a presentation. Well that led to 283 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: another presentation and another presentation and a contract worth over 284 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars, which was my goal that I 285 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: was revisiting every single day. Wow, because that's the way 286 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: this works. Absolutely. You know. I know we're running time 287 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: on a time on this interview, and I want to 288 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: bring you back in May. I hopefully enjoying this interview 289 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: with me because I want to bring up this moment, 290 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: a shareable moment in your book, and it was about 291 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: when you went to visit your sister because I was 292 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: diagnosed with thyro cancer and the root then the way 293 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: I was in your direct cancers in the throat area 294 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: and so if you go to your and I go 295 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: to annual dental appointment and your doctor appointment, and they 296 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: all they all do the net chats, you know, they check, 297 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, they'll feel around they go, they're feeling for lungs. 298 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: That's what they're feeling for. And usually if you they 299 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: feel something, that usually is the first sign of thyrod cancer. 300 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 1: And now I passed these tests in December and I'm 301 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: in January. I'm listening to I'm having a meeting, a 302 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: general meeting with my blood doctor. And she's running there too, 303 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: blown blood tests. And so she's asked me, this is 304 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: the same thing. If you read a book, you're talking 305 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: about a similar situation where she went in to see 306 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: a doctor. And in this situation where it started with 307 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: her sister, her sister just saying, hey, she knows something 308 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: on her leg. Won't you go see a doctor. She 309 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: goes to the doctor. My situation with this blood was 310 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: like I could have easily went, hey, just take my 311 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: blood and go home so I can go home. She said, well, 312 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: I just touch your neck and just check. And when 313 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: she and she and she felt a lung. Now I 314 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: went to two other people who have told me they 315 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: were cool with this lung right went through the whole process, 316 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: and she told me and she said, well, do you 317 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: mind if I check if I do a biopsy on 318 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: that same thing that May does in her book, and 319 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: in her situation, she would diagnose with early stage of 320 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: cancer which became very cutable. Same thing in my situation, 321 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: I'll diagnosed with h with direct cancer and right now, 322 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm uh. I've been cancer free since that diagnosis and 323 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: since that surgery. So I find your life very relatable 324 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: to mine.
