Please, 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:41.559 welcome to money Making Conversation. Made McCarthy, Oh, thank you 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.760 so much for having me on. Well, thank you for 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:46.919 being on my show, and thank you for allowing me 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.760 getting that book to me, allowing me to an opportunity 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.839 to read it. But before we get started, you know, 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.600 I'm a nosy guy. I'd like to know more about individuals. 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.760 And I see that I want to see that you 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.360 have a retreat coming up in January? Is that wrecked? 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:08.200 I do? It's an intentions retreat. Okay, January, which is 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.120 next year a Unity village, Unity Village, Missouri. Tell us 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.880 about that mate retreat and what the purpose of a 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.480 retreat that you put on. Well, you know, I loved 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:23.320 your introduction because you were, um, you know, really hitting 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.080 at home that you have to plan in order to 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.960 be successful. You have to know it what you want 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.520 and you have to make a plan. If you don't 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.720 plan and have some sort of vision on where you 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.320 want to go, you're just like a boat without a rudder. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.280 You're just gonna address. So what we do in an 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:48.720 Intentions retreat is we really uncover what was good and 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.960 what did you not feel was so good for the 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.800 previous year, and we let those things go. Then we 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.320 make a real plan for what is gonna look like. 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.880 I want to get a vision from each and every person, UM, 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.920 so that if they got to December one and they 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.880 turned around and looked at what their year produced, I 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.840 want to know what they hope to see. Then what 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.080 we do is we get that down on paper, We 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.720 get that down in in powerful word statements, We get 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.560 that down in a daily practice of reviewing those goals 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:31.360 regularly and also making sure that they're calm enough to 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:36.640 recognize what Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.520 and I use, which is something that because you can't 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.839 see it, I call it spiritual, but it's intuition. It's 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.440 that gut instinct and those subconscious messages that are going 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.680 to show up and point the direction for us to 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:55.400 take action on a path to achieve those goals. So 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.640 it's a lot of work. We're going to go deep. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.160 It's very empowerful, empowering, and very very fun. It's at 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.280 Unity Village, which is just about thirty five miles away 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.959 from Kansas City Airport right and can see the airport 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.200 is right bout a hundred miles away from Kansas City. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.120 That is, the airport is so far away from kNs 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.720 like wow, man, I mean another state, But it does 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.200 feel that way. It does feel like can I go there? 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.160 It's a long ride. Just preparing my my, my, my, 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.600 my listeners. If they go they landed, they land the airport, 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.600 it's gonna be a ride. It's gonna be a ride. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.040 And that's all good because they're going there for an 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.720 event that no, this is I'm assuming by what you're 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:40.360 speaking that's an annual event. Well, this will be the 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.800 first time that we do the Unity Village. If we've 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.520 done it up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, you know, 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.000 something like it up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Carolina, 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.560 and you're trying to put it in a location in 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.560 the Northwest. But this will be the first time that 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.560 we do it in at Unity Village, and I'm so excited. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.000 It can be great. Right, So where are you based 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:05.240 at me? I'm I'm based in Texas, and so when 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.600 I was listening to the weather report right before you 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.160 came on, I was thinking, Wow, that ninety four degrees 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.920 sounds great. We've had a hundred degrees where I live. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.400 Oh well, you know, I live in Atlanta, just in 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.000 Houston this past weekend and we were dealing with ninety 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:24.120 six in Houston this past weekend, so, you know, across 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.440 the time. And my vacation home, which is where we're 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.200 at now, is on Lake Conro, not very far from Houston. Absolutely, 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.160 May and I just getting together. We on that same 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.080 energy path. That's why I'm she's on the show. And 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.039 now when I when I was now, let's talk about 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.800 this title. The name of your business be as Easy 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.600 you all t Z results. Where did that come from? Well, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:50.240 that's the what we do is we accelerate business results. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:55.919 So it's a play on business results. And that particular 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.719 company has a number of different arms. The first is 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.800 speaking and teaching around the world, so we do public events, 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.719 but we also do a lot of private events. And 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:12.039 then I also have executive consulting. I'll work with mostly 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:16.159 ceo s or executive leadership. I'm really trying to figure 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.520 out a way to achieve that next level of success. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.880 And then the other part is are the books and 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:27.640 other materials that we create. I have another company which 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.640 is my angel investment company, my real estate holdings UM 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.960 and other things that I do to produce your revenue. No, 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:41.280 let measure this because I've heard this this this angel investor. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:48.240 What exactly is an angel investor? An angel investor is 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:54.440 a high net worth individual who may not know the 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:59.719 venture that's out fundraising. So usually in a startup, and 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:04.520 I've had six, well seven startups, um, And in a startup, 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.039 you usually go through the phases of boots trapping, so 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.600 use your own money. I remember mortgaging a couple of 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.960 properties and and you know, selling everything that I had 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.839 in order to get businesses started. UM. So you boots trap. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.919 Usually the founder and anybody else that might be a 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:27.000 partner gets involved in that stage. After you prove that 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.760 some stuff is working, then you go to your friends 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.719 and family stage. These are people that know your character, 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.960 that know you. You don't have to be as formal 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.400 because you know they've known you for a very long 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.360 time and trust your ability to execute on a business plan. 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.839 So bill come in for money the very first time 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:54.159 that you go out. Two investors that are not part 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:59.120 of that friends and family group. Those are angel investors. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.120 I'm not exactly sure how we got the title, but 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.280 if you look at the show Shark Tank, those are 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.440 angel investors. And now, granted they're much wealthier and when 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.320 they invest they have a lot more zeros. Most of 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.440 the time, angel investors will come in when the company 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.240 is an early stage company may be valued up to 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:28.840 five or ten million dollars for that seed round of 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.200 angel investment, and then they go into A rounds and 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.960 B rounds, and then you get the venture capitalists that 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.400 come in after angel investors. Well, thank you. I really 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.080 needed to know that because I guess what I've said, 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.480 it never had anybody I would say I'm with an 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.400 expert that's purpose of the show, talk to experts. Experts, 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.400 give you the information now when we come back on 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.280 our next breaks about the book the Gratitude Formula, a 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.840 seven step success system to create a life that you love. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.880 Talking to May McCarthy when our first question is going 0:07:59.920 --> 0:08:02.960 to be what is your personal definition of well, so 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.760 prepare yourself, May, I'm coming back with that question first 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:10.480 right out your book. All right, This is Rashan McDonald 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.880 and welcome back to money making conversations on the phone. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.960 Is Uh, I'm gonna call a good friend of mine 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.840 because she's in Texas. Only good things happened in Texas. 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.640 Because I'm a Texas boy, I'm gonna say that out. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.240 You're born to ras come on now. And so she's 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.040 the CEO of Bisults, she's a serial entrepreneurship. Explain to 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.080 us with angel investors this chapter here, I wanted to 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.440 talk about the book that I read. And then my 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.200 my staff I was driving crazy, maybe because I read 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.600 the books the day of, So they go, how can 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.280 you read a book the day of? Because I always 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.439 likely to be fresh. I always like to come into 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:48.240 They sent me a pdf. So I always like the 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.880 book because I always like be bending pages and underlying 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.880 and get my little white marker out. One of the 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.760 lines early on in the book and the book we 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.800 were talking about is the Gratitude formula, a seven steps 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.640 success system to create a life that you love. Your 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.319 definition of wealth, because that's really important because sometimes I 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.000 always bring that up on my show, what is your 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.280 version of wealth? So I as you make what is 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.760 your version of wealth? Your definition? My definition of wealth 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.960 is to be whole and complete, lacking nothing in all 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.800 areas of your life. And when I say all areas, 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:26.040 really what I'm focusing on our six major areas your finances, 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.080 the use of your skills and talents or your work, 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:35.360 your relationships, your health, your recreation so that you have 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:41.840 a balanced life that can recreate things. And your spiritual connection. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.120 You know, whatever whatever you feel that you need to 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.040 connect to, whether it's God or or the divine or 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:55.280 an inner wisdom, whatever that is that that allows you 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.440 to tap in to some intelligence that that stems from 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.880 within as the gut instinct, the strong thought of feeling 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:08.040 in your heart and luge um. That kind of connection um, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.920 I think shows up more often when you connect to 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.240 it more. You know, when you when you talk like this. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.960 When I hear you talk, you know there there there, 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.040 You know you have to at one point, you know, 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.719 when you start discussing these values, of these ideas, of 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.400 these concepts of where you get your inner strength, where 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.040 you get your belief of how you are successful, did 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.320 you have to go through a period of people question you, 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.120 uh that that that that that sounds good, that sounds hokey, 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.400 or that sounds like, uh, you know whatever. But I'm 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.360 a ride out with my my philosophy and your philosophy works. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.000 Do you understand what I'm trying to ask here? Yeah? Sure, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.000 you know. It's a it's a fine mind to bring 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:52.880 any sort of religious or spiritual belief into your work, right, 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.040 And fortunately there are some pioneers like Bill Gates who 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.000 sit often you have to rely on intuition, and Steve 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.679 Jobs from out Well said, you have to have courage 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.560 to rely on your heart and intuition. And Oprah Winfrey 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.720 said she's listened to that still small voice of intuition 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.640 every day of her life, and the only time that 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.080 she's made mistakes is when she does st liveson. So 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:21.360 all of them, including Steven Spielberg, Thomas Sentisen, Albert Einstein 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:26.520 and so many more were the trailblazers in talking about 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.680 this kind of thing. So what I did in my 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.640 last two companies, but more importantly in my last company 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:36.319 because we were acquired by a fortune two and in 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.120 my last company, I decided I wanted to bring this 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.880 source of intuition. And I don't really care what people 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.400 called it, because it's none of my business what people 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.880 believe spiritually or religiously. But I knew there was a 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.720 source of intuition, and I brought it into my company 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.280 and I called it the Chief Spiritual Officer or CSO. 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.880 And you know, it was in my c suite like 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.360 the CFO in the CEO. I put it at the 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.120 top of my organ chart, and I, as the CEO, 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.240 reported to it. So naturally my employees to ask me, 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:10.839 who in the world is a CSO? Is it a 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.440 man or a woman? Do we get to meet them? 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.800 And my comment was, look, this is a principle. And 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.760 here's the principle. If you run into a customer that's 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.120 I rate or upset, I want you to stop, take 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.200 some deep breaths and think about that customer being happy. 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.000 And I want you to think about that customer getting 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:37.040 what they need in order to operate optimally. And as 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:41.080 you start using gratitude statements for that, you may just 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:46.240 get an innovative or creative idea. And when that happens, 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.560 I want you to let me know, because that's the 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:54.000 CSO principal. And I tell you what I received, text messages, 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.440 um emails, phone calls from my employees saying, oh my gosh, 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.600 I can't believe it. UM. I went in fully expecting 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.480 to have the customer upset, and I kept saying, I'm 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.320 grateful that they're happy that I walked in, and they said, 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.920 guess what, it's not your fault. We found the error 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:16.000 in our system and everything's working fine. That happened over 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.640 and over and over again. And for our salespeople, they 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.240 were guided and directed to so many different weird, you know, 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:30.400 beyond the rational mind situations to become market share leader 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.079 in terms of new sales. And we were competing against 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.800 twenty companies, so that CSO principle really were if you 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.840 stay focused on what you want outcomes to be instead 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.000 of the problem, which I appreciate. We're talking to May McCarthy. Uh. 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.319 The book we're discussing is the Gratitude Formula, a seven 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.760 step success system to create a life that you love. 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.559 In this book, you will learn the importance of gratitude 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.560 as a valuable part of a daily system for success 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.880 so that you can experience more of the good things 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:03.559 that you desire, whether you want greater financial freedom, improved health, 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:09.400 satisfying work, harmonious relationships, regular, regular recreation, and the means 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.160 to enjoy it. You can use this daily system for 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.080 success to enable you to receive all of the things 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.360 that you wanted more. That's what when I was reading 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.800 the book, it is you the reason I'm enjoying u 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.280 this interview with you, because you care a lot of 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:26.520 values that I speak about on the show about self motivation. 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.600 A lot of people call in on the show talk 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.600 about their faith. Uh and like you said, faith is 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.840 whatever you call it, but they have some some divine 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:39.760 force or some that allows you to stay competitive, stay organized, 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.560 stay focused. And that's what you're talking about when you're 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.040 talking about to see s oh that you put above 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:46.880 the CEO in your life. And it's a lot of 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.440 people want to characterize that they need more of a 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.360 a defined presence or physical presence, And you're saying all 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.800 this is driven by emotion. All is driven by it, 0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:00.240 and and an inner gut instinct or intuition that ride 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.360 that first thought. And that's why always say on the show, 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.200 go with the first thought. If you're going with the 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.720 second and third, that's not too good instinct anymore. The 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:11.800 first thought, your first thought is your good instinct, correct, right. Well, 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.480 it could come in a number of different ways. For instance, UM, 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.800 I don't know if you've been to Cleveland before, but 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:23.920 I had. Yeah, I've had some large customers there because 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.440 it's a great hospital town. And I found myself in Cleveland. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.480 I got off the plane, grabbed my bags, got my 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.560 rental car, went to the hotel and dropped everything off, 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:33.960 and then I went to the I was going to 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.239 go to the closest grocery store it's about five minutes away, 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.600 to pick up protein shakes and water and things like that. 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.280 And when I got in the car, I had a 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.880 very strong thought, that first thought about a grocery store 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.000 fifteen minutes a way. Well, that didn't make any sense, 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.400 and my rational mind tried to talk me out of it. 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.840 But I know, like you, that perhaps that's something that 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.920 I need to pay attention to. So I sat there 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.440 for a moment and I thought, you know, I should 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.320 probably make the drive. Maybe everything will beyond sale. So 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.480 he did, and when I was walking into the grocery store, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.960 there was a guy who was walking out who I recognized. 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.920 I met him six months before at a trade show. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.040 He represented a giant new customer and he was not 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.960 returning any of my phone calls or emails for an appointment, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.920 and here we are face to face. So while while 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:27.840 I was talking to him, he said, look, while you're 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.520 in town, come make a presentation. Well that led to 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:34.800 another presentation and another presentation and a contract worth over 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.080 four hundred thousand dollars, which was my goal that I 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:42.640 was revisiting every single day. Wow, because that's the way 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.720 this works. Absolutely. You know. I know we're running time 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.840 on a time on this interview, and I want to 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.360 bring you back in May. I hopefully enjoying this interview 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.520 with me because I want to bring up this moment, 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.800 a shareable moment in your book, and it was about 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.680 when you went to visit your sister because I was 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.560 diagnosed with thyro cancer and the root then the way 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.720 I was in your direct cancers in the throat area 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.919 and so if you go to your and I go 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.520 to annual dental appointment and your doctor appointment, and they 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.440 all they all do the net chats, you know, they check, 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.520 you know, they'll feel around they go, they're feeling for lungs. 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.880 That's what they're feeling for. And usually if you they 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.520 feel something, that usually is the first sign of thyrod cancer. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.719 And now I passed these tests in December and I'm 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.359 in January. I'm listening to I'm having a meeting, a 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.520 general meeting with my blood doctor. And she's running there too, 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.760 blown blood tests. And so she's asked me, this is 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.600 the same thing. If you read a book, you're talking 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.240 about a similar situation where she went in to see 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.199 a doctor. And in this situation where it started with 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.920 her sister, her sister just saying, hey, she knows something 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.040 on her leg. Won't you go see a doctor. She 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.840 goes to the doctor. My situation with this blood was 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.280 like I could have easily went, hey, just take my 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.120 blood and go home so I can go home. She said, well, 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.760 I just touch your neck and just check. And when 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.840 she and she and she felt a lung. Now I 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.360 went to two other people who have told me they 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.840 were cool with this lung right went through the whole process, 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.119 and she told me and she said, well, do you 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.320 mind if I check if I do a biopsy on 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.800 that same thing that May does in her book, and 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.879 in her situation, she would diagnose with early stage of 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.159 cancer which became very cutable. Same thing in my situation, 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.560 I'll diagnosed with h with direct cancer and right now, 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:33.000 I'm uh. I've been cancer free since that diagnosis and 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.400 since that surgery. So I find your life very relatable 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.399 to mine. May, and that is why I want to 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.000 tell you that I want to bring you back on 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:44.600 the show, especially to promote your upcompany event in Unity Village, 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.879 because you're special and I want to remind you that 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.399 and all my viewers and listeners that this is the 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.680 book that everybody should buy.
