1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,840 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 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: with the humongous company, with you, with the investors, you know, 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: hanging out, you know, chasing you down, trying to invest 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: in your thing. Do you believe that you are really 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: going to sell a million of your widgets? Do you 8 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: believe that you can be a billionaire? I get you, know, 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: if you talk about making it, because that's what we 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: do as a culture. But deep down inside, so many 11 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: of us don't actually believe that we're going to make it. 12 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: I get it because I speak to people all the 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: time who talk about how big their business is going 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: to be, what they're going to buy when they quote 15 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: unquote make it, or how people who doubted them will 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: eat crow, but their actions don't actually line up to 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 1: what they say they believe. In truth, many of us 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: are just only fooling ourselves. We're not fooling anybody else 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: but ourselves. And see, it's one thing to talk about 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: how you're gonna make your dreams of reality, but it's 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: another thing to get to the gym. It's cool to 22 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: talk about how dope it's going to be when you're 23 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: a millionaire, But it's another thing to learn how to 24 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: save and invest with the little income you have today. 25 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: If you say you believe, but your actions are not 26 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: in sync with what you're talking about, then you've got 27 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: to check yourself. Now. Look, we can talk another time 28 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: about how to actually be about it, but today's conversation 29 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: is not about that. Today's conversation, here's what I'd like 30 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: to talk about. When you are actually determined that you're 31 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: gonna make it, and you know the success you're after 32 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: is only a matter of time, you need to document 33 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: that journey. What too many of us think erroneously is 34 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: that success is a destination, like one day you're gonna 35 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: wake up and suddenly be successful. Nah, So if you 36 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: wake up, you're getting after it. Every day. You are successful. 37 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Every week you squirrel away one hundred dollars to buy 38 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: your first piece of real estate, you're successful every one 39 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: of those weeks. Everyone that you've dedicated yourself to achieving 40 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: the thing, and you've done the work, you've put in hours, 41 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: you're successful getting to the closing table when you're buying 42 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: your first piece of real estate that's a chapter in 43 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: the story of success. But you were successful. In fact, 44 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: you had to be successful to even get to the 45 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: closing table. We got to give ourself some credit along 46 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: the way. So what we're gonna talk about today is 47 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: first prescribing the journey, like writing it in advance. These 48 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: are like goal setting sorts of things. Then capturing the 49 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: process of achievement, failure, even redemption, all of those things. 50 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: We want to capture these things. Here's why we're talking 51 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: about it. There's a quote that I love, and it's 52 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: attributed to several people, but I'm gonna give the credit 53 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: to the legendary entrepreneur, author and speaker Jim Rohn, who said, 54 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,200 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 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: worth recording. You could have just rewound to hear that twice, 57 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,520 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 --> 00:04:06,000 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 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: the day of ever present cell phones, I have a 62 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: lot of video and photos of them since the day 63 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: they were born. And the reason why I bring up 64 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: how often I see them, which again is like every 65 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: day unless I'm on the road, is because being so 66 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: close to the situation, being so close to them could 67 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: have me confused about how much and how fast they're growing. 68 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: So it's really only when I'm out of town for 69 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: a few days or i look back at footage of 70 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: them where I can actually see how much they've grown 71 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: in so little time. And the same goes for you 72 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: and your journey towards your business success. You can be 73 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: so close to the daily operations, the struggles, the heartache 74 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: that goes along with entrepreneurship and running a business, that 75 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: you don't even see how far you've come. And this 76 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: is natural, you know, when you're doing the thing, you 77 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: don't realize. Hey, you don't realize often that the problems 78 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,279 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 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: it because you're so consumed about the issues and the 81 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: successes even and the blessings, the whatever you're dealing with today. 82 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: You don't even think about what you dealt with yesterday 83 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: because you're here now, and it's so easy to forget 84 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: that it wasn't always like this. And so when I 85 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: talk about documenting the journey, and we're going to talk 86 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: today about how to document the journey, the several ways 87 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: you can document the journey based on your personal you know, proclivity, 88 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: like the things that you are naturally drawn to. So 89 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about those things. But documenting the 90 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: journey is not just for you. Documenting the journey is 91 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: about two people, future you and the people coming behind you. 92 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: The people who will look at your story and say, 93 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: I think it's possible. Look at it. Somebody did it. 94 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,040 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 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: It's for you five years from now, it's for you 97 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: ten years from now. It's for future you and your family. 98 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: Who's your grandkids. One day, your great grandkids will read 99 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,840 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 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: your blog posts. They will watch those things. They will 102 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: read those things and they will say, look at what 103 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: granddaddy did, look at what Grandmama did. In future you 104 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: get your future you gets reminded that it wasn't always 105 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: like this when you're driving around in that thing that 106 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: you dream today about driving around, because that thing is 107 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,559 Speaker 1: coming one day, you're gonna you're gonna have a day 108 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: where you're like, goodness, gracious, like I'm getting here from 109 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: all sides, like could anything else go wrong? And then 110 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: you get a chance to go look back at you today, 111 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: which then would be history, and say, you know what 112 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: I remember when I begged for the problems that I 113 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: have today, when everything seems good, you get a chance 114 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: to remember and be grateful. So I wanted to spend 115 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: just a few minutes here just an effort to convince 116 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: you that documenting the journey again in any way that 117 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: seems best fitting for you and your style, is worth it. 118 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: So several years ago it had to be you know, 119 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: five or six years ago. I started journaling. And I 120 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: don't do it religiously. I don't do it nearly enough, 121 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: but I did start journaling. You know, there's probably you know, 122 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: blank pages between entries that you know, days that I missed, 123 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: probably weeks that I missed. To be honest, there are 124 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: weeks that I missed, but they are journals that I've kept. 125 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: You know, I have friends who journal and then they 126 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: throw out the journals, and I'm like, why do you 127 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: throw them out? Like I want to keep the record, 128 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: so I don't throw away like journals that have been completed, 129 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: like done with. I want to keep them because one day, 130 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: and this is happening, I look back at those journals 131 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: that I wrote, those journal entries that I wrote from 132 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: five six years ago, and I'm like, who is that guy? 133 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: I don't even recognize myself because that guy from five 134 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: six years ago was complaining about things that I like 135 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: meaningless to me today. The guy who was journaling about 136 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: things that he wanted five six years ago, those things 137 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: I have now, and I'm like, they mean nothing. The 138 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: guy five six years ago who was journaling about the 139 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: businesses he wanted to start, I don't even have an 140 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: interest in so many of those things anymore. And also, 141 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: to be fair to myself, the guy who was wishing 142 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: for the things that I have today, Reading those things 143 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: back caused me to say, you know what, it's really good. 144 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm living out what I prescribed. I get a chance 145 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: to reflect and have a moment of gratitude, like, look, 146 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: you know, while I'm talking about how many issues I've 147 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: dealt with today, how many people's attitudes I had to 148 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: deal with today, how many financial decisions I had to make, 149 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: the ones that aren't easy, and many of them are 150 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: not easy, the ones that I have to deal with 151 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: every single day. I look back at the guy six 152 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: years ago who goodness like, had no idea he would 153 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: ever how he would get to them. Knew I would 154 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: get there, but didn't know how. And I'm dealing with 155 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: those things today, wishing five years ago, six years ago, 156 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: that I had this sword of problems, and now that 157 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm in the problems, they are problems for real, but 158 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: you get the chance to look back and just like wow, 159 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: like I'm actually living them out. This is what it 160 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: feels like to have those dreams. I asked for it 161 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: and should have been more careful, but I'm living it. 162 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: The same is true for you if you actually did 163 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: the work to document the journey. So today, and we're 164 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: deep into this conversation already, but I want to talk 165 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: to you about three separate ways that you can document 166 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: your journey. Now. For me, I have I use all three, 167 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: so but not everybody has that particular band like this is. 168 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: These are things that work for me, but you don't 169 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: have to do all three. Pick one if you're okay, 170 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: Pick two if you're good, pick three if you legit. 171 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: So first one up writing and this is privately via 172 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: a personal journal or publicly via a blog. There are 173 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: benefits and you know, downsides to either. The personal journal 174 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: is like my my journal. I use the full Full 175 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: Focused Journal by Michael Hyatt, and I also have the 176 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: Growth Notebook by Debonne and Co. And so either of them, 177 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: like they have, They're completely different in so many ways, 178 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: but they both have triggers, things that help you to 179 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: you know, inspire you to figure out what to write. 180 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: And so often we sit down to write and we 181 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: don't know like how to get started. It's like writing 182 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: like songs, like writing a rap, Like if you've ever, 183 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: like have been a songwriter, if you ever tried to 184 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: write a song or a poem or whatever, it's like 185 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: the first line is like sometimes the hardest part because 186 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: if you can get the first line down, if the 187 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: first line is fired, then you can keep going. But 188 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: that first one has gotta be the banger. So anyway, 189 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: the I use the Full Focused Journal most frequently, but 190 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: I also have the Growth Notebook. But the personal journal 191 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: is for you and this this is the one where 192 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: it's you know, almost and just be honest, like's it's 193 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: like a diary. It's like, you know, the diary used 194 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: to be, like, you know, have a negative connotation for 195 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: males and for men. But the journal, the diary is 196 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: a way for you to document what you're feeling, when 197 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: you're going through what's happening in your life. And it's 198 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: a way for you to kind of just exhaust all 199 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: of that stuff onto paper. And I save allnine so 200 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: I have, you know, in my library, I have several 201 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: there's probably eight or nine of them by now, journals 202 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: that I've completed because particularly the full focused ones, they 203 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: are dated and so like money through Sunday, every date 204 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: has a page and so when I complete it, I 205 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: put it away and there are some that I haven't 206 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: looked at in years. There are some that you know, 207 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: I'm sure have things in there that I would look 208 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: at myself and like, what in the world were you 209 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: talking about? But that's the whole point. I'm getting a 210 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: chance and opportunity to recognize my growth. So the personal 211 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: journal is something that really only you get the benefit 212 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: of those learning experiences, but it's still valuable because you're 213 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: still on your journey. Blogging, on the other hand, is 214 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: something that you get all those same benefits, all those 215 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: same things, but also other people get an opportunity to 216 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: learn and to to oh, this is so cool. They 217 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: get to learn from your journey, but they also get 218 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: to just watch it. And so there's somebody out there 219 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: who I'm not necessarily on a similar path that they're on. 220 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily, you know, like taking specific nuggets that 221 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: are applicable to my life. I'm just enjoying the show, 222 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: and that has value. Also, I don't want to discount 223 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: that part, because not everything has to be so deep. 224 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: I just get to watch the homie win. I get 225 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: to watch the homie grow, I get to watch him 226 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: like level up, get upgraded. I get to watch that, 227 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: and that's inspiring. And so while I don't particularly have 228 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: anything directly relevant to my journey, I get to cheer 229 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: for you. I'll get to clap for you from a distance. 230 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: And so the personal journal is for you and you alone. 231 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: The blog is for you, but it's also for us. 232 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: It's also for your community, for the people who are 233 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: learning behind you, and for the people rooting for you. 234 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: So if you don't have necessarily a proclivity for video. 235 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: You don't like the way you talk or look on camera, 236 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: that's completely fine. You don't like your voice, and you 237 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: don't want to podcast, you don't want to do audio recordings. 238 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: You just like to write, and writing comes naturally to you. 239 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: I would recommend finding a personal journal. I've already mentioned 240 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: the two. I use the Full Focused Journal by Michael 241 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: Hyatt and the Growth Notebook by the Bond and Code. 242 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: And you get to writing, and you make it a 243 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: point and again I can't I'm a preacher to choir here. 244 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: You make it a point to do it regularly. You 245 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: make it a part of your daily routine, or at 246 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: least weekly routine, because I mean, I'm talking to myself 247 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: and I suck at some of this, but you need 248 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: to document it because you will look back at yourself 249 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: a month from now and see stuff and you'd be like, yo, 250 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: I was tripping thirty days ago. Next up, audio recordings. 251 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: Audio recordings. Are you taking your iPhone I'm an iPhone 252 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: user and you opening your voice memo app. And let's 253 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: say you have a ten minute commute to work, right, 254 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: or a ten minute commute to the office. To your 255 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: office and you just on your way. You just kind 256 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: of unload all the things that you're thinking about. They 257 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: don't even have to make sense. Here's the part that 258 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: I had to learn about documenting journeys. I wanted them 259 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: to be organized. I'm a producer, so I do I edit, video, 260 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: edit audio, I can write. I can do all of 261 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: these things. And so to me, my natural bend was 262 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 1: to have things that looked good the minute they were 263 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: laid down, that read well the minute they were written, 264 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: that were beautiful and listened like, they sounded great the 265 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 1: minute they were recorded, the minute the vokes dropped. So 266 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: to me, it was difficult to get past it was. 267 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: It was more challenging than it might be for others 268 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: to get past the idea that it didn't have to 269 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: sound good, it just has It didn't even have to 270 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: be clear. It could be a word I was thinking 271 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: about even, like like when you're writing in a personal 272 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: journal and you just thought of a word that has 273 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: been bothering you, like just I'm gonna I'm gonna make 274 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: this up. So let's say you're writing about, you know, 275 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: a relationship you have, and in a moment, the word 276 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: cash for comes up, and your cash flow has been 277 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: bothering you. You can write the word cash flow in 278 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: the sidebar of your journal and then go back to 279 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: the whole idea about the relationship. That's completely fine. It 280 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: didn't make sense to anybody else reading it from the outside, 281 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: but for some reason to you, it needed to get out. 282 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: And then a month from now, a year from now, 283 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: two years from now, you'll remember when you're reading the 284 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: thing about the relationship, and you'll see the word cash 285 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: flow over there on the sidebar, the edges of the paper, 286 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: and you'll be like, well, I remember what I was 287 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: going through. Oh, it's all starting to make sense. The 288 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: same thing with audio recordings, you don't edit yourself. You 289 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: just talk into this recorder and you just say what's 290 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: on your mind. You say what's going on, you'll say 291 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: what you've learned, you'll say the mistakes you made. Because 292 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: this is for you. That's your recording. It's the personal 293 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: journal version of an audio recording. You just talk, and 294 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: then one day, a year from now, two years from now, 295 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: five years from now, you have all these recordings. I 296 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: have recordings from six years ago in my voice memos 297 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: from iPhones I've had in days before, because they all 298 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: just poured over when I buy a new phone, and 299 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: then I go back and I listen to those. I 300 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: also like produce music, so I have like voice memos 301 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: that are like just like melodies and like drum rhythms. 302 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: I'll go back and listen, like, Yo, that's fire, Like 303 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: I need to put that down for real. But your 304 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: voice recording is a way of documenting your journey. If 305 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: you want to go public with it, let's take it 306 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: a step further. You do the same thing and you 307 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: make a podcast. Today's your day to think about consider 308 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: considering making your own podcast. Guess what. Your podcast does 309 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: not have to be the biggest podcast on the planet. 310 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: You aren't striving for that. You're striving for documenting the journey. 311 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: Have you guys watched Kanye West documentary Genius on Netflix. 312 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: It's an appropriate time to talk about this if you 313 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: watch that documentary, because I may bring this whole documentary 314 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: up a couple of different times. The documentary, any documentary 315 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: I've ever seen, was not necessarily designed to be like 316 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: the most beautifully shot. It's not supposed to be like Avatar. 317 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: It's not supposed to be like some eight K because 318 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: four K is so like twenty twenty. It's not supposed 319 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: to be eight K like, it's supposed to be raw 320 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: and real and all of those things. It's not supposed 321 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: to be just some beautiful cinema production. We want to 322 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: get in the trenches, we want to see, we want 323 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: to feel something when we're watching this thing. And so 324 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: when you are podcasting for the sake of documenting your journey, 325 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: the only goal you should have is not numbers. The 326 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: goal you should have is what is recorded? Is it real? 327 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: And does it feel authentic? Is it authentic? Forget feeling? 328 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: Is it authentic to where I'm at? Because if the 329 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: content is there, the whole purpose is to make a 330 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: historical record. That's the whole purpose. Because it may have 331 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: three listeners today, but when you finally hit your thing, 332 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: god knows how many people will clamor for that content. 333 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: I read the guys who produced that content got twenty 334 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: million dollars from Netflix, and it was like raw footage, 335 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: stuff that was sometimes out of focus, stuff that was 336 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: like grainy, stuff that was like the audio wasn't always good, 337 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: but it was this moment in time that was non fungible, 338 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: non fungible. Oh, so we'll talk about NFTs with regards 339 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: to your documentation, but it was these moments that you 340 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: can't get back. They were one of ones. They were 341 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: you can't trade them for anything else that those were 342 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: times that came in times that have gone. So think 343 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: about that as you're documenting, like they don't these things 344 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: the video recordings you might make. Because we talked about 345 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: personal journals versus blogs. We've talked about audio recordings versus 346 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: audio recordings for your personal use and podcasting video recording. 347 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: You could just prop up your camera and just talk 348 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: to your phone and record it and save it in 349 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: your photo album, or you could put it on YouTube, 350 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter what looks like. The purpose here 351 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: with regards to this conversation is documenting it, putting it 352 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: down in the historical record. And so when you're documenting 353 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: your journey, the content is supposed to be you, not 354 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: the filtered version. I believe this. I believe we are 355 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: because the way we're doing this is playing out. This 356 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: is why I believe it. We're increasingly moving towards a 357 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: version of the Internet where flaws are valuable. We had 358 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: this several year moment in history where when Instagram launched 359 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: and you could put filters on when photoshop people really 360 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: got good at that and you can take away all 361 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: the blemishes like those days are those days are numbered. 362 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: In so many ways, we are moving towards a day 363 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: where people just want to see what's real. We've been 364 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: spoon fed stuff that's not real for so long, and 365 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: at some point we want some nonfiction. That's what we're 366 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: moving to. And the things that actually look manufactured, the 367 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: things that look like they've been cleaned up and plastic arised, 368 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: they don't even get the engagement that something that is 369 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: completely organic would get. Something that was shot on the fly. 370 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: The thing that's shot on the fly actually gets more 371 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: engagement because the thing that's cleaned up and made perfect 372 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: looks like an ad to the average consumer. The average 373 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: person who's just flipping through the timeline gets less engagement. 374 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: So the content should be authentic. You should strive for authenticity. 375 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: You should work because really the only reason you're not 376 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: authentic on social is because you believe you have to proceed. 377 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: You have to show something to the world that is 378 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: not you. But it's you on steroids. So it's really 379 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: you that has to work through those issues, not us. 380 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: I said I would come back to this and I've 381 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: already touched on it. Actually pretty good about I wanted 382 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: to put a staple here because I talked about NFTs 383 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: very briefly. And when you're documenting your journey, imagine if 384 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 1: the producers of Genius, the Netflix documentary for Kanye West, 385 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: instead of putting it on Netflix, they took each of 386 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: those clips and they put it on Open Sea and 387 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: they made NFTs out of it. And they took those 388 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: early Kanye beats and instead of you know, just showing 389 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: them or distributing them in a different way, they made 390 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: each of those beats available for somebody to own. Some 391 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: rapper out there, some upcoming artists say, you know what, 392 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm about to buy this MP three and I own 393 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: it on the blockchain. I'm talking about you. I'm using 394 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: Kanye as an example. But again, we believe you believe 395 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: you're gonna make it. And since you believe that one day, 396 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: your early iterations of your product one day, the early 397 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: drawings of your idea one day, the business plan you 398 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: roll on a napkin one day, the early versions of 399 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: your prototype will be valuable to somebody, why not make it. 400 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: That's all that exists is the ideas that came out 401 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: of your head. The ideas evolve over time. But what 402 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: if those early ideas were documented and made into non 403 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: fungible assets on the blockchain, made into NFTs. So not 404 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: only do you get an opportunity to realize the rewards 405 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: of the ultimate thing, but you also get to realize 406 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: the rewards and engage your community with a one of 407 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: one asset that is out there for the world to 408 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: enjoy in the form of a non fungible token. The 409 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: early pictures of you and your garage office, of you 410 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: and your apartment office. You know, when you and five 411 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: of your friends, or you and two of your friends 412 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: were in the early days of building your startup. Like, 413 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: imagine what it looks like ten years from now when 414 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: you guys hit the billy and you've got these images 415 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: that the world has never seen. But now you're the 416 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: rock star tech founder. You're the rock star, you know 417 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: crypto whale, You're the rock star, you know speaker, You're 418 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: the rock star entrepreneur, You're the next Jeff Bezos, and 419 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: you are displaying these images, displaying these early days, these 420 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: video clips, these audio recordings of the early days of 421 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: you building your thing. It has value to the people 422 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: coming behind you has value to the people who are 423 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: cheering you on. So what should you document? As much 424 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: as you can? I guess a better question is like, 425 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: what do people want to see? Don't think about what 426 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: people want to see. Document You don't know what people 427 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: want to see. You don't have a crystal ball. People 428 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: want to see more than you think they want to see. 429 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: Too often we talk ourselves out of documenting content because 430 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 1: we believe nobody cares about a particular moment. We believe, 431 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, that some things are just insignificant to 432 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: other people today. The truth is they may be, but 433 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: tomorrow they may be everything. Imagine this. Imagine having an 434 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: early version of a Pierre Moss sneaker. Imagine what that 435 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: would go for if it was the production sample and 436 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: the sample had a mistake in it, he had to 437 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: send it back. Imagine what that goes for versus the 438 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: one that he finally perfected and is a thousand of 439 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: them on the market. Which one do you think would 440 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: be more valuable? The one that is a one of one? 441 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: The mistake Because you can't get this, this is the 442 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: this is the this is the prototype. I got the 443 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: early I got the stuff you can't get it's rare. 444 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: You got to know somebody to get this. You got 445 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: to know somebody who knows somebody to get this. It's exclusive. 446 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: Only so many people have this. A thousand people have 447 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: the production model, one person has the sample. The production 448 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: sample value scarcity. What I want you to come away 449 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: with this after listening to this episode. What I want 450 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: you to leave with is a renewed desire. First, because 451 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: you won't do it if you don't have the desire, 452 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: but a renewed desire to be inspired by your own story. 453 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: If you believe that your story ends with you victorious, 454 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: why would you not record the journey, the ups, the downs, 455 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: the tragedies that try. Why would you not record it? 456 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: Why would you not have documented history of it as 457 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: it develops, as it evolves, the good and the bad. 458 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: Because there's things for you to learn there. There's things 459 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: for the other people to learn there. There's things for 460 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: future you to be gracious for. I admonish you. I 461 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: desire to see your content. I want to see what 462 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: you come up with. I want to see your story 463 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: as you're building your thing, and as you're building, share 464 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: with me, send it to me. I'm at will lucasow Ig, 465 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: drop me a DM and say, you know what, will 466 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: I listened to this podcast episode. You've convinced me to 467 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: document my journey. Whether you're going to do it via YouTube, 468 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: whether you're going to open up a new blog, whether 469 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: you are going to start podcasting, whether you're going to 470 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: record personally and not share with the world, old start 471 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: recording it regardless, because you never know what that content 472 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: could end up being as part of your larger narrative.
