Speaker 1: It was Danielle Is coming to send us the straight um.

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: That scarf was just not making any warm. So it

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: was the point of it. It was making me warm.

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: It was an accessory piece of it. That's pretty much

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: like he was. He was accessorized. What if I had

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: to drive my hands in the bathroom and I don't

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: want to get stuff into bathroom? Very practical, that's right

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: where that scar travel with hand towels. That's what I say.

30
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: You know what we're gonna do today, buddy, I guess

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: the answer is we're gonna have a way. We're gonna

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: have a fireside chat today. That's a good ideas fireside

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: And what's going to happen is Tory has a bunch

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: of questions and so this is like a get to

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: know Gavin, get to know Brooks type day. Can I

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: say something before we continue? It is a podcast. I'm

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: not a gas fireplace fan. Just in general. I like

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: the crackle of wood fire. Everybody talking about the environment stuff,

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: I get it, I understand, but if the thing doesn't

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: crackle and move, it's just not really fire. I get you.

41
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I agreed. At our lake house, we have multiple fireplaces

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: and we just feed wood into those. Man, those are

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: it just it makes the whole smell. That smell, it

44
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: is my favorite scent in the world, best best. I

45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: love Carstena Jins. So anyway, that being that little tangent

46
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: being said, we're going to do get to know Gavin today.

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: Our viewers, our listeners. The one way they want to

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: know who Gavin to grow is you know what, I

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: want to know who Gavin grow. We're going to try

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: and figure that out. So can you ever figure that out?

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: I think it ever changes with him. One word you

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: would use to describe Gavin, I would use three shock

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: and awe. I was literally just saying this. We're having

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: lunched outs to so I was like, Gavin likes to

55
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: hit people with the old shock and awe because when

56
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: he saw the people are like look at him for

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: a second, and then he like he holds it and

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: then he furthers his thoughts and you can always see

59
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: like a perplexion on the face of somebody. It's like, huh,

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: it's a little shock and awe. So that's how I

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: would I would describe gave thanks, but they're also very

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: profound and very deep. How would you just make fun

63
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: Brooks thoughtful, kind and adventurous? My man appreciate. Yeah, I

64
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: feel like like he gave me a better review. Like

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: I feel like my review didn't do him justice. I

66
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: don't need to be done justice is what is one

67
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: thing you wish you had that Gavin has? Like? What quality?

68
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I'm really no, No, actually it's not. It's

69
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: not that I can't come up without it. I'm trying

70
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: to think of like something like when you enter a room,

71
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: you meet every single person in that room. Yeah, you

72
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: always meet every person. You introduce yourself to every single person.

73
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: You want every single person to feel included, you meet them,

74
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: you all whenever you show up, you always show up

75
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: high energy. I love that you're always and everybody in

76
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: the room could tell you're in the room, and you

77
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: are too. You're an extremely kind and caring person. You

78
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: have a tough outer shell, but I undeniably know it's

79
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: your heart that you're an extremely kind and caring person

80
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: and people matter to you. Um, you love people? Yeah,

81
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: you do. I know you do. I try to see

82
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: the good people, I really do, and I give everybody

83
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt, of the doubt off the bat,

84
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: and I even let them be a dick for the

85
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: first couple of minutes if it need to be, you

86
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean, to get past that first moment,

87
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. And I think it's important

88
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: to kind of give people that, you know, just a

89
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: little grace period, a little grace period, because some people

90
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: are just a little bit more awkward than other people

91
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: at first, and I try to give them a little

92
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: bit of that leeway, you know, because not everybody is

93
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: warm at first, you know. Um, sometimes I could be

94
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: like a little bit socially aggressive, like hey, what's up?

95
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: Are you good to meet you man? Blah blah blah,

96
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: And some people someone would be like like this, what's

97
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: up with Mr Social? You know so? And I understand

98
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: that too, So I got I give them a little

99
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: leeway with that too, you know, got you Okay, So

136
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: quality Brooks has that you wish you had? I love

137
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Brooks is calm mhmm. What do you think that's rooted

138
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: in and for him? I think that Brooks has done

139
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: wild already in other fat sits of his life, and

140
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: that's helped sort of create a relaxed mindset for him

141
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. And why do you think

142
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: you don't have calm? Because I spent a lot of

143
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: my time suppressing my wild Did you say suppressing? Because

144
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: this is the tip of the iceberg, you know, what

145
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: is my behavior what we're seeing? Yeah? Yeah, but really

146
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: you want more? I'm left always being like, what else

147
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: does he have up his sleeve? Yeah? Um, I feel

148
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: like I have a really good grasp on gave. I'm

149
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: very careful about a lot of things because of the

150
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: type of job that I do and things like that.

151
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: I can be careful with my hands, I have to

152
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: be careful with my voice. I have to be careful

153
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: physically about certain things. So I really had babied a

154
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: lot of things that I normally would't have babied if

155
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: this wasn't my career, you know what I mean. Besides

156
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: a family member or a manager, who knows you best, Joey,

157
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: my best buddy Joey, No, my brother, probably the best.

158
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: Besides family or co workers. Who knows you the best,

159
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: probably my buddy Joey or my buddy Fezzy Fez from

160
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: Keith Andrew. I mean, there's a group of guys so

161
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: I'm real tight with Yeah. We call him Fest because

162
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: he looks like Yeah, So everybody started calling Fest. But

163
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: there's a group of guys. They know different versions of me,

164
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and each one of so

165
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of colors, you know what I mean,

166
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: personality wise, And each of my friends fits into a

167
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: different I think each of them brings out different shades

168
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: of those different different colors of me. You don't understand

169
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Here's a question for you. Do you

170
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: feel you'll internally like you cannot decide which of those

171
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: shades you truthfully are and you are hoping to step

172
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: into full time being one of those shades. I'm all

173
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: of them. I mean, I'm somebody who always went from

174
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: table to table growing up, you know what I mean,

175
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: Like at lunch, I'd go to ten tables and sit

176
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: there hungry, friends, very so hungry. No, just because that

177
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: was my personality type, you know what I mean. And

178
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: and I fit in different groups for different reasons, you

179
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: know what i mean. So you know, I had friends

180
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: who were the nerdier group, nerdier groups or whatever because

181
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: I got good grades. And then I played sports, so

182
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: my other friends were more of the jocks. And then

183
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: I enjoyed music, and so I had music friends, and

184
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: then the theater and he had theater friends. And then

185
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, you're like, you know, you understand. So I

186
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: had a lot of different interests and those interests. Um uh,

187
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: I had aptitudes and all of the all of those interests. Fortunately,

188
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: and so you know, I had a very diverse group

189
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: of people who I associated with or got along with,

190
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: and not any of them necessarily got along with each other.

191
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: That makes sense, you know what I mean, Because I

192
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: was just my personality type. You were kind of the

193
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: middleman that brought he just common ground to anyone. But

194
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: you couldn't really put all those groups together. I couldn't

195
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: put those groups together. You know, they were so separate,

196
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you understand advanced placement group,

197
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: but that you're also you know, you're you're playing street ball,

198
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It was just a different

199
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, it was the same for me, like a

200
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: lot of I was. I was part of the athlete group,

201
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: but I also had other groups I didn't. I didn't

202
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: and some some like I remember some of the hockey guys, uh,

203
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Like in school when I was in grade ten or

204
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: eleven or two, of the hockey guys only hung with

205
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: the hockey guys like they hung in the click. And

206
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: I was like, like, people are people, you know, like

207
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: that you don't have to be on the hockey team

208
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: for me to be friends with you. And that was

209
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: the same way when I played hockey. We still had

210
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: friends in the community that I was playing in that

211
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: weren't hockey players. Um, so I assimilate with that very

212
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: much totally. I just had a conversation about it with

213
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: buddy of mine if I grew up with He was like, yeah,

214
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: I remember me, like you got to be like sixteen fifteen, sixteens,

215
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: Like yeah, we'd call you come play ball, and You're like, no, man,

216
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: I gotta work. I'm working on these songs. And I

217
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: kind of felt in love so much the music that

218
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: I yanked myself out of playing ball. And then they'd

219
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: be like, man, we're playing a game. Man, you don't

220
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: want to be out here. It's you know, we're going

221
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: to the next town. We're gonna play those guys and whatever.

222
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, man, I got I got a gig

223
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: in three days. Man, I want to get the songs

224
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: up and ready and so. But it was nice having

225
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: those invites, and you know, I still loved all those guys,

226
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: but my ultimately, my interest in music kind of sucked

227
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: out of a lot of those those those things that

228
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: I enjoyed a lot, you know, that makes sense, you

229
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: need to do. But I still love those guys, and

230
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: I still played ball here and there. It just wasn't

231
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: as it wasn't as much. The same thing happened to

232
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: me when I was fifteen. I stopped playing baseball because

233
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: I started playing summer hockey. So they play hockey through

234
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: the fall and winter, and then I play hockey in

235
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: the summer where I used to play baseball too. Yeah,

236
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: you get it. You get pulled, you get pulled away,

237
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: but with interest. But you still have those friends there

238
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: because you They knew you were competitive and you're cool

239
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: on whatever, so they wanted to you know, you understand

240
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, And the true friends, the ones

241
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: that are actually your true friends, actually just support you

242
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: in your mission to know they see what it means

243
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: to you. And the other ones that maybe aren't your friends,

244
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: it's a filter. That sort of separation is a filter,

245
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: and they'll be like, oh, he's too cool, he's doing

246
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: his own thing or whatever. But your true friends yet

247
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: there there for you agreed, How would you guys describe

248
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: your high school self? And maybe like a couple of words.

249
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: This is very easy for me. I was non existent

250
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: high school when I was thirteen. I was already nineteen

251
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: year old playing pro hockey. That is where my mindset was.

252
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: So like, my friends used to try and get me

253
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: go drinking, and you're trying to get me go to parties,

254
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: used try and get me to smoke. Um. And these

255
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: were my grooms and these are best friends in the world.

256
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: And I would just sit there and be like, thirteen,

257
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: fourteen fifty. I'd just be like laughing. I was like,

258
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: you guys don't even know it. Well, you know it,

259
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: but I have the NHL in the palm of my

260
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: hand four years from now, Like I'm already four years

261
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: from now playing in the NHL. UM. And they were

262
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: just they were teenage kids in school, and so I

263
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: was like, I have to be in school for now

264
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: because this is part of the process. But I'm already

265
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: three or four years from now. So I didn't School

266
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: to me was completely irrelevant dating and like high school

267
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: and those problems and issues and peer pressure was all

268
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: irrelevant for me because I was just I was lasered

269
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: on making the NHL. So I wouldn't say my my

270
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: like my high school years were normal at all. But

271
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: how would you describe yourself and focus just like focus.

272
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: And what was the other one? You said, irrelevant school.

273
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: It was just the first one, he said. I don't know.

274
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: It was just I wanted to matter. I wanted to Yeah,

275
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: it just didn't matter. I wanted to be somewhere. I

276
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: knew where I was going, and I wanted to be there.

277
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's multiple years in high school and each

278
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: one was you know, different. It's totally totally and it

279
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: sleeps and bounds. I mean, those years are so uh,

280
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: they're they're they're big years of your life, you know.

281
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Um see that's where I disagree, like those years were

282
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: nothing for me. Well, thirteen to seventeen is a giant

283
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: change in my opinion. I mean when I was thirteen,

284
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: it went from like you know, went from like g

285
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: I Joe to you know, medical school. And I was like, oh,

286
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to medical school to me, I'll probably

287
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: end up medical school. You know. I was really religious,

288
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: and I thought, I want to make the Blind Sea

289
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: like Jesus did. I'm going to be an ophomologist, and

290
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: that's what I want to do. I've already played mu Zick,

291
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: but I thought it would be a selfish lifestyle. I

292
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: went to a concert, and I was like, no, this

293
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: is good. This heals people, this helps people. I decided

294
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: to play music. I was fifteen when that happened. That's

295
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: so cool. Weird, right, it's silly, but it's so cool

296
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: if you got into music because it heals people and

297
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: helps people. I already played music, but I didn't think

298
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: that's a career it would be the right thing to

299
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: do because I felt like it was such a personal

300
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: thing to me and it seemed selfish. It's weird, right,

301
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: So so then but I thought, well, this would be selfish.

302
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: But then when I saw a contract I saw believe

303
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: jel play, I went wow. I looked at the people

304
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: around me. I thought, wow, this is this is medicine.

305
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: Music is medicine. This this is not selfish. I should

306
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: do this, you know. But that really can really change

307
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: my focus from it being this this hobby, this uh

308
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, something I did just for me too. Wow,

309
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: this is this is something I should do because because

310
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: it only not only makes me happy, but it'll it'll

311
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: it'll be good for people to other people too. Um

312
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: So then, um so for me, those years were very

313
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: big because those are the years that changed me, you know.

314
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I literally remember having a meeting as a

315
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: kid as uh, probably a fourteen, fourteen year old with principle,

316
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, and uh and I remember I said the principle.

317
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: I said, listen, I'm wasting my time here in high school.

318
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: I need to pursue medicine. This is this is the

319
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: time in my life where I need to be focused.

320
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: I need moving ahead. Why am I reading Shakespeare? I

321
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: don't want to read Shakespeare. Ironically, I've become what a writer.

322
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: I've become a songwriter. Right, So, so I didn't know.

323
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: I thought I knew, but I didn't. You know, the

324
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: big life moment hadn't happened for me yet to truly

325
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: find my direction. And um, amazingly, just having that opportunity

326
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: allowed me to really choose my direction. And then and

327
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: then from that point on, you know, everything changed. Academics

328
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: became less important. You know. I still did well in school,

329
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: but by the time I got accepted the college, you know,

330
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: I changed completely. Once that happened, I was like, forget.

331
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: I started wearing pajamas to school, you know what I mean,

332
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: bringing a pillow, putting down on the desk when the

333
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: teacher started talking, going to sleep, laying on the table

334
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: in the back. You know, it became different leaving school

335
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: early because it was done for me. I had my direction,

336
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: I want to play music, and it was somewhere else.

337
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: It was. It was exactly the same way you talk

338
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: about hockey. The second you made that full decision that

339
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: you really knew what it was you were chasing. Everything

340
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: else was just kind of in the way. You know,

341
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: they were like they were just just That's why I

342
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: said high school, you were just slapping out of your way,

343
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. There were it was a

344
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: slalomn course and you were just slapping down the you

345
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: know those those polls you know, Um, it was the

346
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: exact same for me, and um that happened younger for me.

347
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: But then my grade twelve of my last year in school,

348
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: second half of the of the semester, second semester, like

349
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: I didn't go to school hardly at all. All. I

350
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,959
Speaker 1: had like a hundred and thirty absences, Like I just

351
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: my teachers would be like, I'd be like, why am

352
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: I coming to school. I'm not going to school next year.

353
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make pro hockey totally. Why do I

354
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: need to be in this math? You want me to

355
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: share another odd thing piece of information. Apparently I had

356
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: set the school record from tardiness. I don't believe it.

357
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: I think you've definitely set the I heart I heard

358
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: podcast record for tardiness as well. But you made it

359
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,439

377
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: I wake up tomorrow? If I could choose Rome, I'd

378
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: wake up in Rome. I've never been to Room of One.

379
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: I watched Gladiator again the other day in the Colosseum.

380
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: Has always been calling me. Um. I would wake up

381
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: in Rome tomorrow. Ah, somewhere in Hawaii probably? Why is nice?

382
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: Which last trips? Why? It was pretty amazing? Which island

383
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: did you go to? Um Onto? The Big Island? Is

384
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: that the one I went to? I think so? I

385
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: have some friends were all the were most of the

386
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: volcanic activity. I went on this unbelievable trick through a

387
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: collapsed volcano. Oh, it's crazy. Uh. And then um let

388
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: me drove to thegether side of the island, more local,

389
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: and uh, that was just it was just awesome, man,

390
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: Just the views and and sort of like the terrain

391
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: was so extreme from one side of the island to

392
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: the other. It was like you were traveling through time

393
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: because you'd see all that, just the volcanic activity, and

394
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: then the results of volcanic activity, and then sort of

395
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: as the progression of growth as the island got healthier

396
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: and healthier, it's just it's a superredible island. Crazy crazy,

397
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: that's ride. Wake up tomorrow, t what's the next? If

398
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: you could be any age again for one week, what

399
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: age would you be. Oh, that's a great question. If

400
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: you could be any age again for one week, what

401
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: age would you be? Man, Damn, I would go back

402
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: to Like, I'd go back to like maybe like twenty one,

403
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: because I feel like I missed out. Look looking back

404
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: at it now, I was so like wired into becoming

405
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: a hockey player that I missed out on. Like I

406
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: never went to college, so I never had college years. Um,

407
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: even through high school. High school basically didn't exist to

408
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: me because I was just training and wanted to get

409
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: out of there to go play hockey. So I never

410
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: had like those social experiences of that most youth would enjoy.

411
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: So I would go back. I'd be twenty one years old. Um,

412
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: that would And I'd spend a week at the age

413
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: of twenty one, maybe in college or something universe, just

414
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: to understand what it's like. I like that. I like

415
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: twenty one. That was a good time. Um, this is

416
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: a couple of you kind of like exactly like a

417
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: year ago. I'm just wondering like, I don't know if

418
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: I really want to go back to a time I

419
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: really like where I'm at. I almost would rather change

420
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: the technology back to what it was when I was

421
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: twenty one. We're like, not everybody was running around taking

422
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: pictures everyone all the damn time, and videoing everything it

423
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: did and recording everything you said. I'd like to bring

424
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: back the that technology to right now and see, like

425
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: just kind of have people interact in a way that

426
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: they didn't feel like it was being documented. Okay, wow,

427
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: profound buddy. I like it though, It's just where I'm at. Okay, Tori,

428
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: I do. Would you rather have more energy or more time?

429
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: Let me think of this for a second. Would you

430
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: rather have more energy or more time? I have a

431
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: ton of energy a time. What I'm working on in

432
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: my life right now is creating more time. I feel

433
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: like I fill time with stuff to do, and I'm like, really,

434
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: is this what I want to do or do? I

435
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: just want to have fun in my life, and so

436
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: for me, one of the things I'm working on in

437
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: is making sure I have space and time in my

438
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: life to do things that just make me happy, not

439
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: things I think I'm supposed to do or what I

440
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: should create or what I should do for a paycheck, Like,

441
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: I just want to do things that make me happy

442
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: at that moment, not putting like say I wanted to

443
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: fly to Hawaii today, Like why not go? Let's go,

444
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: Let's go to Hawaii today, you know, instead of putting

445
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: that off. Oh that's something I would like to do. Yeah,

446
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: that sounds fun. So I would say time energy, I

447
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: got an abundance of I'm trying to create more time.

448
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: I'm down with that. I'm I'm with you completely actually

449
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: on that old thing what he said, Yeah, time for sure.

450
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Where do you guys feel like you have wasted? Like

451
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: where do you feel like you waste the majority of

452
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: your time that you want to cut back on? My

453
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: mine is like entrepreneurial activities, things that like coming out

454
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: of hockey. Right, So, as an athlete come out of hockey,

455
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: you stop playing, you stop getting paid. So you know

456
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: you're making millions of dollars a year, all of a sudden,

457
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: now you you don't have a paycheck coming in. So

458
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: there's also a purpose. So like, Okay, I want to

459
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: do something that serves and impacts people and inspires people,

460
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: and so what does that look like um, and then

461
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: I just started doing some things like I'm like, oh,

462
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: I should create something. I want to create a business.

463
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: I want to read some business books. I want to

464
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: like explore the business mind in a way with time

465
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: and resources that I couldn't when I was playing, Like

466
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: as as a having the time that I have now

467
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: has allowed me to explore other curiosities in my life

468
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: that I could never do what I was playing. And

469
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: so I think I went overboard on that and created

470
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: businesses and stuff that all of a sudden required my

471
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: time And I'm like, for what, Like why am I

472
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: doing that? So it's entrepreneurial stuff that I want to

473
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: sort of back off on. And when I do something

474
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: like when I come to this podcast to do this podcast,

475
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: I want it to be for the right reasons, because

476
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: I choose to be here, not I think I'm supposed

477
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: to be here if talent and money were no factors.

478
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: What jobs would you have or what to have? What

479
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: a great question, man? What jobs would I have? You

480
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: know what? Well? I mean I could I could do

481
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: this right now like I would. I would love to

482
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: be able to sing like I I admire this man

483
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: right here because like when you performed at the like

484
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: when you performed at the podcast Awards, Like, I admire

485
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: that so much of being able to go up and

486
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: entertain people. And you're entertaining people, Yeah, but to sing,

487
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: like I just I love music so much. I have

488
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: music on at all times of the day. I am

489
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: listening to music. I find myself. I learned so much

490
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: about myself. I feel comforted in music, Like lyrics are

491
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: powerful to me, and like I could just but I

492
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: could go sing. I could go to like an open

493
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: mic night and just get booed right off the stage.

494
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: I play a little rock band. I sing in some

495
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: rock band over there. I love that. I just have

496
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: such an admiration for singing. Yeah, admire your talent. But um,

497
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: and I love what you do man, and I love

498
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: I love what you chose as a career. Um. Personally,

499
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: I think you know, I've always fantasized since I was

500
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: a little kid. I always wanted to be g I Joe.

501
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say specials, you know what I mean,

502
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to do. So um. You know,

503
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: of course we all have different desires growing up and

504
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: things like that, but that was always like fantasy land

505
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: for me. You know, UM. But then I remember told

506
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: my dad one day, I was like, yeah, I think

507
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm gon joining the military, you know, I want to

508
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: go kick ass and this and that. And he was like, Okay,

509
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: let me tell you what your military crew would be like, Gavin,

510
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: what I mean, I would like to see you in

511
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: the military. We didn't even know you're gonna be here

512
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: for He was like, he was like, you end up

513
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: getting into order from some officer that you knew you

514
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: were smarter than, and you let him know you were

515
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: smarter than he was, and that would be the end

516
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: of your military career. So so anyway, so that would

517
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: be like, that would be what I would want to do.

518
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: But I still in my mind, I still fantasize about

519
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 1: UM being involved in in that element of the world,

520
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: in that element of mission of you know, getting involved

521
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: with I remember years ago there was a charity that

522
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: that was, you know, focused on on freeing the child

523
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: soldiers and things like that in Africa, and UM there's

524
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: a lot of that type of stuff that goes on

525
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: around around the world, you know, where people get abducted

526
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: or they're taken from their families and they're sort of enlisted,

527
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: uh into militias or they're they're taking advantage of I still, personally,

528
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: I still feel that's something that's doable, even even at

529
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: this age of getting involved in things like that. But

530
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: but in my mind, I still want to be door kicker,

531
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I still want to show

532
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: up at those places and I still want to be

533
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: involved physically physically in that world, you know what I mean? Um,

534
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: And maybe that's how you satisfy that g I Joe Leman,

535
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: or your of your psyche that hasn't been satisfied yet.

536
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: I have another one too. I love that I aligned

537
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: with that completely, and I have another one. I'd love

538
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: to work at NASA. Just the concept when I think

539
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: about this, if you think about space, that space extends

540
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: for infinity as far as we know that there's no

541
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: cap on space. That just blows my mind. How can

542
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: you keep going forever and never hit a wall? Like

543
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: where does space go? And like to work in that

544
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: environment in NASA Exploring that concept of like that space

545
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: is never ending just fascinates me. So I'd like I'd

546
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: like to go work at NASA. To some NASA engineers

547
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: do that at all? That would feel so I feel

548
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: like I wasn't washing my hands enough clinical So you know,

549
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,239
Speaker 1: just like I can imagine being in sort of that

550
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: philosophical environment, but but physical environment of of being in

551
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: that that that that world that more, it would just

552
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: almost be a little too clean, you know what I mean.

553
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: Moving on can figure that out. Yeah, that's why I said,

554
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: moving on. Oh, you know, everybody's like walking around and

555
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: rubber gloves, and that's what you saw in the movie.

556
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: That's what I'm seeing, you know what I mean in

557
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: my mind, you know, to clean. I'm too rugged and

558
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: mountain too rugged to be at NASA. No, it's just

559
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: just not I don't know, it just sounds a little

560
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: I could imagine the concept of the of sitting around

561
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: and you know, thinking about the grand the grandeur of

562
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: it and the grandeur of the mission, you know what

563
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean. That's fascinating to me. The environment of being there.

564
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: It's probably such a slow moving train. I'd be like man,

565
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: sleepy time. Okay, who takes care of you the best?

566
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: Who takes care of me the best? Good question? It

567
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: has to be me. Yeah, you take care of You're

568
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: in charge of your own life. I mean that's a

569
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: very simple also. M Yeah, it's just me. Um. I

570
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: think that there's certainly a good element of that. I

571
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: rely on a lot of people though for I rely

572
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: on I don't know if a lot of people, but

573
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: some people for sure, for that kind of emotional boost

574
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: when you need that emotional boost, you know, close friends

575
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: and things like that. And uh, like, there's a buddy

576
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: of mine I'm so aligned with. He's one of my

577
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: one of my dearest friends. And we don't talk every day.

578
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: You know, we'll talk sometimes we won't go from we

579
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: won't talk for a few months, but he'll reach out

580
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: whenever I'm feeling whatever reason. He just knows. He just

581
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: knows energetically, I believe it. That's a really weird man.

582
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: And he he and me are like really connected on

583
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: that level, and it's really weird. And I said, he'll say, hey,

584
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: how such a section? How did you? How did you

585
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: even know that? That's bugging me right now? You know,

586
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,560

587
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,880

589
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,680

590
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: friend to have. Many unbelievable really unbelievable. So so my

591
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: day to day obviously, you know, I take care of me,

592
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: but but I have a network of people who who

619
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: an experience that led you to believe in angels or ghosts? Yeah?

620
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: M I love this question. I'm trying to think. I

621
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: don't know if it was angels or ghosts. I've experienced

622
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: miracles before. Can we here at least one? It's a

623
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: little weird, that's okay if you're willing to cell please sure.

624
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I got I got surrounded once in a

625
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: bathroom and uh wait, where were you? What bathroom? A teenager?

626
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: And uh, there are no windows in this bathroom, only

627
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: all official light. And I went in, uh to hit

628
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: the head, you know. And I walked in and there

629
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: was a group of people in there, and uh, they

630
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: said it was jump time, you know. So I was

631
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: about to jump and the lights went out, so it's

632
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: pitch black, and I was like all right, well, I

633
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: guess I have to fight a group of people. And

634
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: they were actually like reality and reality really yeah, oh

635
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And so I grew up in a prison town,

636
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: you know. So I was like, all right, I thought

637
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: to myself, well, I mean, this is gonna be a

638
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: bad minute, you know what I mean. Anyway, Um, so,

639
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: as I was waiting for the attack, uh, I was

640
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: waiting for the attack, I heard like this little this,

641
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: and that sound was the sound of a lighter, right yeah,

642
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And then so then I saw the people

643
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: around me, right the group, and then I thought, okay, well,

644
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: I obviously have to hit the guy with the lighter,

645
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: because that way they have no one awoke with they're hitting,

646
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So so anyway, but even

647
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: before that happened, the lighter bled all over him and

648
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: lit him on fire, lit his hand on fire, and

649
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: it was and that was and that essentially was that

650
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: he started screaming and flailing and they're freaking out, and

651
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: they put the light on and I pushed through the

652
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: group and I walked out. I've gone out of the room.

653
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that of a lighter leaking on you. Yeah,

654
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: and so you felt that was some sort of divine intervention.

655
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: I experienced a miracle and uh, and I remember I

656
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: had heard I don't know if it was like if

657
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: it was real or not the story, but that that

658
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: year there were recalls or something on Dick Lighter's for

659
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: having some kind of weird problem. Um, but this is,

660
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: you know, twentysome years ago. Yeah, so that was like

661
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: I would call that a miracle just because you know,

662
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: that was just you know, sometimes it's just too many.

663
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: That was too many, you know what I mean. And

664
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: so yeah, I mean it's wild. Yeah. So when you

665
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: see a man's hand light on fire in that one

666
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: moment we were I was like, I walked out. I

667
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, cool, thanks God. He's looking at me

668
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: like when I have a story that it sounds crazy,

669
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: I know, but I mean I'm trying to think I

670
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,439
Speaker 1: don't have anything right now honestly that I can because

671
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: because the question was angels or ghosts, Yeah, angels or ghosts. Yeah,

672
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like a ghost one. Um,

673
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: have you ever had a feeling where you felt somebody

674
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: was like next to you or have you ever do

675
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: you believe in people who can call into their side

676
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 1: do you believe in spirituality? Yeah, I believe in all

677
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: of that. I believe your spirits can exist around us. Um.

678
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: I believe you can tap into different spirits, or you

679
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: can transcend time a little bit and go into different

680
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: like I believe that. I'm I've been doing a lot

681
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: of energy work and stuff like that and starting to

682
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: learn about that kind of thing. I fully believe it. Um.

683
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: I believe in in out of body experiences. Um. But

684
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: do I have a specific story or anything like that

685
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: that would I would really love to share that I could.

686
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm blanking right now. Yeah, but I do

687
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: believe in all of it. I believe in angels undoubtedly.

688
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: I also believe in ghosts. If you knew you wouldn't

689
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: get hurt. Would you rather skydive or view sharks from

690
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: an underwater cage? I did an underwater I did the

691
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: underwater cage with sharks. I'm actually thinking about doing free

692
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 1: diving with great whites where you don't have a cage.

693
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: Would you do that with ham uh sorts? I don't

694
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: think I would do it with the play to ham

695
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: on men. Well apparently though with you? Oh yeah, I'm

696
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: way into it. I want to get in there. Just

697
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: I've never went with a giant predator. I never, but yeah,

698
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: but here, who's the predator? Gave like, are we the predator?

699
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: If you actually look at that relationship, who's the predator? Um? Well,

700
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, asked and asked the asked the sailors

701
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: who get eaten by sharks when they're when they're when

702
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: they're floating on a raft for for two weeks, and

703
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: each year there are a hundred million sharks killed in

704
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: the world. Did you know that for shark fin soup?

705
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: Then that sounds Listen, so I hear you and that

706
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: your story is touching. But the fact is, which one

707
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: should you fear when you hop in the ocean? I'm not.

708
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: I don't want to hop in their world and try

709
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: to make a buddy out of out of something whose

710
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: teeth grow back within the day. I know. But there

711
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: are people that I am serious than. So I've done

712
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: this great white sharks. I did it in Guadalupe Island.

713
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: I am seriously considering going to do a free dive

714
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: with great white sharks. I think it's okay. I think

715
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: when you die, can I have your stuff? Yeah? You

716
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 1: can have my percentage of if I die. That means

717
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: you're in charge of this podcast. But no swimming. It

718
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: would be could you imagine to magic man? Can you

719
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: imagine if that was your go to right there? If ga,

720
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: hey man, let's do that. We just want to check

721
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: in and see where you are. He can we do

722
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out where you are? Could you

723
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: just you're alive with buddy? Have you ever been skydiving?

724
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: Have you ever been skydiving? No? Yeah, I haven't either,

725
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: but I want to go. No, I would do both.

726
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: Which one would you do? Much more likely to skydive? Okay, certainly,

727
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: I feel like that's more that's more up to me.

728
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: I feel like the hopping in the water, um, and

729
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm pretty handy in the water. I feel pretty pretty

730
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: confident in water. I'd say if I had to fight

731
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: the terrifying human being, I'd say, well, let's get in

732
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: the water. That's more like a comfortable place for me

733
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: to be. Ice to swim a bit now with lifeguard

734
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And but I don't want to

735
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: be in there with sharks, no thank you, not not

736
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: gonna happen. A predator, no thank you. But that's just

737
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 1: because you look at them like that that's because it's

738
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: what they are. So were you No, I'm not. I'm

739
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: look how I treat this animal? Yeah, that's that's him

740
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: swimming around. Him swimming around on the surface would be

741
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: treated differently by a shark than than him walking up

742
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: to me on my yard. You know what I mean

743
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: that that you know this is my yard out here,

744
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: that the ocean is the shark's yard. And I can't

745
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: see saying go ahead, buddy, why don't you go swim

746
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: out there and you try to, you know, tap into

747
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: the psyche of millions of years of predatory evolution. Next one,

748
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Which which of your personality traits would you

749
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: like to change my feelings towards great white sharks? I'll

750
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: pick one for you being one time you're what's unpunctual?

751
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 1: Is it? What's your unpunctuality? Was that today you weren't?

752
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: You were actually right on that You're actually right on

753
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: the nose. It's just we didn't know at all. There

754
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: was no communicado if you were even coming. But you

755
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: made it okay. But real talk, predictability is how you win.

756
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: This isn't the art of war. What personality would you

757
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: want to change? Um? I'm merely thinking. Here. One thing

758
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do is I had a friend of mine,

759
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: Steve Weatherford, super Bowl winning kicker played for the Giants,

760
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: gave me great advice that I still take with me.

761
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: Is two years ago and gave me great advice, and

762
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: he said, Brooks, I'm gonna pray for you, and I'm

763
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna pray that you give up control that your boat

764
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: is in a river. Think of like you have. You're

765
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: a boat in a river, but your anchor down in

766
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: the river and the current is just running by you.

767
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: And I pray that you'll lift your anchor and just

768
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: let your boat go with the current. And it's just

769
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: still stuck with me. Two years later, it's still stuck

770
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: with me. And releasing releasing like certainty, releasing the need

771
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: to control circumstance advirus, that's why you want to get

772
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: in the water with the shark, because you're trying to

773
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: get over that. Maybe maybe it's yeah, just like um,

774
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: it's it's something I'm really trying to work on, and

775
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: I've made a immense strides in it, but still it's

776
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: something that quote just resonated so truly. I think what

777
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: it is is leaving space in my life for like

778
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: the unknown to come in and come through me, versus

779
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: me having to create things all the time. I think

780
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: the thing that I would actually change would be finding

781
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: that line between figuring out my happiness level with things,

782
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: not my happiness emotionally, but like where I'm at as

783
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: far as like feeling good about where I am career wise,

784
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: work wise, life wise, but also creating a sense of urgency.

785
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: I lack urgency because to me life is good. Yeah,

786
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: And so finding that line between getting the mission accomplished, um,

787
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 1: still being happy and feeling like I can do things

788
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 1: at my own at my own rate, at my own pace,

789
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: but at the same time having enough urgency I need

790
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: to tap into moving towards yes, just because I almost

791
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: never feel like, oh, I have to get this done,

792
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, just because I feel good

793
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: about things like I feel like, well, why do I

794
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: have to get it done right now? What? What for?

795
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: You know? Um? Am I happy right now? Yeah? I'm

796
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: happy right now? But how do you mix that with

797
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: also getting things done when you when you should be

798
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: getting them done? Know, you know what I'm saying. So

799
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: here's something because I don't like to I don't like

800
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: to have I don't like to stress out. I fundamentally

801
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: pretty much never stress out. You understand what people freak out.

802
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, relax, it's good, it is okay, you know

803
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: what I mean. This is fine. It's a bump in

804
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: the road. But that's but that interferes with having a

805
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: sense of urgency to you know what I mean, everybody's

806
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: bugging out of like, relax, We're cool. We're a hundred

807
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: miles from nowhere, but we know at least it's a

808
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: hundred miles and we know it's nowhere. We know something,

809
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm always trying to be like,

810
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: just calm down, you know, I get it. Yeah, but

811
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: I also think there's a give and take with that.

812
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 1: Obviously there's negatives to that too. Clearly the final question, Yes,

813
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: you're trying to get to that next question, right, He

814
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 1: was about to say something right, meaningful. I was gonna

815
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: let it go. He kept giving me the nod to

816
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: go to the next No, do you want to know

817
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: what I say? You want to sometimes so you need

818
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: to say something. Here's here's something that I think about

819
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: sometimes too. If I don't follow through on something, who

820
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: suffers if I don't follow through on something, who am

821
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: I affecting negatively? Who is not benefiting? Who? Is it

822
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: just me? Though? What if it's just you and you're

823
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: like I could live with that, Yeah, that's fine then.

824
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: But sometimes when it's like a project or a thing

825
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: or something, I'm like, oh, I know that, I know

826
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: that people could use that and it could help people.

827
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: And if I just don't feel like doing I'm like, wow,

828
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: that I'm actually gonna cost a lot of people suffering

829
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: if I don't do this for them, right, So anyway

830
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: something to think about maybe to help that urgency because

831
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: I feel the same sometimes. Yeah. T final question, would

832
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 1: you prefer money for a housekeeper, a cook, a gardener

833
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: or a personal assistant? Oh? What a question? Personal assistant? No? Why?

834
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: Because then you can be like, hey do all those things.

835
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: That's a great that's that's actually where's hr or there's

836
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: actually that's how that's how top CEOs make make decisions.

837
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: That's a that's a decision making process that if you

838
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: have four problems, you select the one problem to fix

839
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: that's going to fix the other three problems. So if

840
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: you've got a personal assistant, I guess the question is

841
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: the money though, you know, if you could only afford one, Yeah,

842
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 1: you can only have one. I think they call it

843
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: an intern. Is that just you can get them credits

844
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: so they can work for free? That's what it is.

845
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: Damn the intern A little slippery right. A housekeeper, a chef,

846
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: and a personal assistant and a personal housekeeper, a chef,

847
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: a guard again to take personal assistant off there because

848
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: you can actually be like, can you cook and then

849
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: go trim the edges? Is not going from the office

850
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: to your household to cook you at dinner. It depends

851
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: what that personal assists for. I would say, I would

852
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: say housekeeper. Okay, yeah, what's the main reason for that's

853
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: the one thing you hate to do most childskeeping lines? Well,

854
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 1: just just because then I can I can have that

855
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: time I like. I like a clean home environment. I

856
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: just really do. I like a serenity at home, and

857
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 1: then if that's in place, I can take my time

858
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: and focus it on things that I need to do elsewhere.

859
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: I like to make a bean bag out of a

860
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: laundry pile. Okay, that's your that's your Yeah, what's the

861
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: one you would want? Mm hmm. A gardener, housekeeper, chef,

862
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: hard one. This is a hard one. I would say

863
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: maybe it is a eight question. Actually, I don't know.

864
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: Probably a housekeeper. I hate making the bid, something about

865
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: making the bed and just doing your laundry and like

866
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: cleaning floors or like all all that kind of stuff,

867
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: like you want to have a nice home, to a

868
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: nice home. A nice home creates order in your life. Yeah,

869
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a foundation. I think it's inn I

870
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think I think it really is.

871
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: So housekeeper. Yeah, yeah, okay, that's it. That's it for

872
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: these questions. I like this game. This is a good game.

873
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: And t I appreciate you, Tory, our producer Tori here

874
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,799

875
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: glad I'm not a person. Oh my god, could you

876
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: imagine myself? Do you imagine if you were Gavin's personal assistant,

877
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: just the time that we spend together at the at

878
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: the podcast, I feel like you have to go meditate

879
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: after I'm meditating right now. That's what I'm doing. I

880
