A lot of people 16 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 3: call me said, I'm emerging from California and I moved 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: out to Minnesota because they got a Flora scholarships. Played 18 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: football out here. I met my then girlfriend freshman year, 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 3: who is now my wife, and we have three daughters, 20 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: three beautiful daughters. I was drafted to the NFL and 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 3: twenty thirteen. Played for a few years, and now I 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 3: transitioned over to doing full time content and I share. 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: There's my perspective on fatherhood and family and marriage and 24 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 3: self development, and I really enjoy what I do. 25 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I love that you've made this career pivot. 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: A lot of people have to make pivots in life. 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: But obvious, say, football isn't the kind of thing that 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 2: people can do forever. You know, our bodies won't won't 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 2: allow that. But so I'm curious how you decided what 30 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: you were going to pivot to and what that process 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: was like. 32 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 3: So it's interesting. That's a great question, and we can go. 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: Man, we can talk for hours on that, I'm sure. 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: So I'm from California, like I said, but I'm from 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: the inner city. I was born in Englewood, raised in content, 36 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: like moved around and like sports were something that we 37 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: were put into, like essentially stay out of trouble. And 38 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: I just happened to be athletic and I enjoyed being 39 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: a captain, and I just kind of kept doing it 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: and it worked. It obviously worked out for me, but 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 3: it wasn't. My goal was never to go to the NFL. 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 3: I didn't really understand what that really was. It was 43 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: just to work hard and being around my teammates, and 44 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: I loved the community aspect of being on a team. 45 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: It wasn't until my junior year when I was in 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: college where NFL scouts will come to see the juniors 47 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: and they realized, oh, this guy has potential, and I 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 3: was like, oh, I got potential. Okay, cool, I guess 49 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: the next thing is the NFL. So then I went 50 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: to the NFL, worked really hard to got drafted. Only 51 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: is like zero point one person that people get drafted. 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: And when I got to the NFL, that's when I 53 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: realized that, Oh, I did what I wanted to do. 54 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 3: And when I got there, I was just like, ah, 55 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: this doesn't feel like me, you know, like it just 56 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 3: feels like I'm kind of living in a dream that 57 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: a lot of my period growing up said that we 58 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: were supposed to do. When I got there, I saw 59 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: how political it was, how it was all about money 60 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: and status and not really the camaraderie of being around 61 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: the team a team, you know, And I kept playing 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 3: for a couple of years when I didn't want to play, 63 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: I just kept doing it because it was kind of 64 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: all that I knew and part of pivoting from it 65 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: was scary. My last team I was with was with 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals, and I ended up getting hurt. And 67 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: when I got hurt, my first daughter was born too, 68 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: got around two weeks before I was injured, and then 69 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 3: I got hurt. Was able to come back to Minneapolis 70 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: and raise her the first seven months of her life, 71 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm done, Like, I just want 72 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: to do this, so my daughter, long as you're gonna 73 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: say my daughter, I was just like, I just wanted 74 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 3: to be a dad and just raise my babies. Yeah. 75 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: And so then you decided to make videos. 76 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: About it, yeah I did, oh so yeah. So when 77 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: I was aimed. When I was playing, I was with 78 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: the Patriots at one point and I got cut from 79 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: the team. I was like, oh, this can be over 80 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 3: with at any point. So I was let me just 81 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: figure out what else I wanted to do, and because 82 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: football was all I ever did, and I was like, 83 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: let me just pick up a camera and start recording 84 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: videos and to see what happens. That a lot of 85 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: it was for me to just distract myself from not 86 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: knowing that I wasn't playing outside of training, and I 87 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 3: told myself when I got online, I'm here to be 88 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: myself and tell my story from my perspective, because news 89 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: blogs or sports analyst always told people and I never 90 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 3: said it from my own perspective. And then I started 91 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: making videos on YouTube and that just did really well 92 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: in the beginning because I always was really authentic, which 93 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 3: is like a rare thing online for whatever reason. And yeah, 94 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 3: I've been doing it ever since. 95 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: That's awesome. 96 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, people definitely flock to these videos. They've been very, 97 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: very popular. So we got to talk to each other 98 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: a little bit before this. I got to do a 99 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: Cedric's podcast. We talked about how when you were playing football, 100 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 2: schedule was very very set. I wonder if you could 101 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: just tell people, like what a day in the life 102 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: of NFL. 103 00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: Training look. 104 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So you wake up and it's around like, 105 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: you know, six and nine every morning, and when you 106 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: go in, you don't have to worry about anything because 107 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: everything is taken care of. So you walk in and 108 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 3: there's monitors everywhere and from you're there from you know, six, 109 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: seven in the morning till about eight at night, and 110 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: every single minute and I'm not over exaggerating, every single minute. 111 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: And I told you on my pack on my podcast, 112 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 3: you get in there, it's seven fifteen, seven thirty five, 113 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 3: check in, seveno forty to eight fifteen, meeting one, eight 114 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 3: twenty to eight to nine o'clock, Lift one. And it 115 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 3: just goes like that the entire time. And that's really it. 116 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 3: So you don't really have time. You don't have to 117 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 3: worry about anything. That's the simplest way to put it. 118 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: Somebody all the food's made for you. You walk in 119 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: up to practice of smoothies right there they have but 120 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: your your beat, juice, everything that's just done for you. You 121 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: got to just show up and perform and be ready 122 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: to work. 123 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's different from your life now, I think, yeah, yeah, 124 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: So what is your schedule looking like now? 125 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: They say, nobody's handing you a smoothie at a fifteen am. 126 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 3: Nobody hands me a smoothie. Nobody likes making by meals 127 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: for me. Nobody's telling me I need to work out. 128 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: There's no consequences if I don't get I'm on time. 129 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: Like everything is all on me. Everything is all on me. 130 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: It's not on somebody else making a schedule or meal 131 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 3: plan or smoothie or whatever. 132 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 2: But you've had to figure out then a schedule that 133 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: works for you and I one of the things I 134 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: understand from your videos is you actually do get up 135 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 2: pretty early in the morning. Is that right, Okay, tell 136 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 2: us a little bit about your morning routine. 137 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 3: So yeah, so I get up early in the morning, 138 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 3: and you know, depending on what I'm working on, I'm 139 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: really into self development, and for me, self development means 140 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 3: understanding like where I came from and the thing that 141 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 3: I learned from my parents and the way that I 142 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: was brought up and challenging those things to figure out 143 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 3: what it is that I actually truly want to hold 144 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: onto and something that to let go and like build 145 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 3: new skills to be a better husband, to be a 146 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: better father, and to be a better person. So most 147 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: of the time, I get up early in the morning, 148 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 3: and I had a set of questions that I ask myself, 149 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: and I break it down by marriage, it's faith, self 150 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: and relationships, and I separate family from that relationship with 151 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 3: friends and stuff, and I write about it and I 152 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: kind of have a goal in mind that I want 153 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: to be thinking about actively doing in those relationships. Actually, 154 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: I have a sauna in the could hub at my house, 155 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: and depending on the day and the weather, I'll get 156 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: in there if I'm feel like it I feel like 157 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: and if I don't, I won't and then after that 158 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: it's pretty much my well that's that's my morning routine. 159 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the rest of the day is sort 160 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: of split with running your business. You're doing content creation, 161 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: representing brands and and fatherhood. I'm curious how you sort 162 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: of make those different pieces fit together. 163 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: Well, I'll plan on Friday, that's the first thing. 164 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: That's a good idea. 165 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is great. So what I do is like 166 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: I think of my life kind of in pillars. So 167 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: in every pillar there's X amount of things that I 168 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 3: need to do, and some have more priorities, some that 169 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: I don't have others and minds have a deadline. I 170 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: will put that thing first, because typically if there's a deadline, 171 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: something bad will happen if I don't get it done. 172 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: And to me, it's really that simple. It's like deadlines. 173 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: Get those in there, what do I want to do? 174 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: Put those in there, and then that's it. And it's 175 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: so funny that I'm explaining it's so simply now. It 176 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: was not like that in the beginning. It was really 177 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: difficult in. 178 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: The chaotic at the beginning. Yeah, yeah, well that's true. 179 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: It could happen. We're going to take one quick ad 180 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: break and then we will be back. Well, I am 181 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: back with Cedric Thompson, who is sharing about his schedule, 182 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 2: how he has pivoted from a career in football to 183 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: an in content creation, talking about how he balances running 184 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 2: his business with time with family. 185 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: So I have to I'm very curious. 186 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 2: You know, when you put lots of videos out in 187 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: the world, sometimes you get reactions you thought you'd get. 188 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 2: Sometimes you get reactions you really didn't think you I'm 189 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: curious if you have any videos you put out there 190 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 2: that you were just like, I did not see that coming. 191 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, what take your choice. Man. It's 192 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: like when you like with my content, I'm sharing things 193 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: that I'm really going through and doing my best to 194 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: articulate it in sixty seconds. Nothing takes sixty seconds to 195 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 3: really explain. So I might say something that comes off 196 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: in a way that isn't necessarily what I mean, and 197 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: I could have articulated better. But that's part of the reps. 198 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 3: In the practice, I made a video about helping my 199 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 3: wife like clean the house, right, and what I was 200 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 3: trying to say was that we have a lot going 201 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: on the house is a mess. I'm going to just 202 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: clean the whole thing for the both of us, and 203 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: people took it as if I were saying, like, my 204 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: wife ain't doing nothing, I'm cleaning house. I'm like, that 205 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: is not what I'm saying. What I'm saying, so yeah, 206 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: and then people just said they just they just came 207 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 3: after me. I was like, my bad, Like that was 208 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 3: not what I was saying, and that happens a lot, 209 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 3: and like, you know, I can't the message is going 210 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 3: to be for everybody. In the fact of the matter 211 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: is everybody couldn't say something. You know, what I mean 212 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,479 Speaker 3: is just the name of the game. But it happens 213 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: more times than I was like. 214 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: Well, I find I feel like people on the internet 215 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: are looking to be offended about something. I like, I 216 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: mean one of your videos that I was sort of 217 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: amazed at the response. I guess you had been parenting 218 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: solo for a week or something while your your wife 219 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: was out of the country, and people there was a 220 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: mix like some people. 221 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: Were like, oh, this is great. 222 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: You know, he's taking a nice video about how he's 223 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: he could run the household while while his wife is away, 224 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: and then others were like, why are you acting like you, 225 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: you know, saved the world by taking care of your 226 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: own kids for a week. 227 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that was another video that I 228 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 3: was going to mention.

I mean, I've been doing 251 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 3: that about my life is through sports, you know. 252 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's talk a little bit about that about 253 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: you know, empathy and communication because one of the things 254 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: you do talk a lot about it is about trying 255 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 2: to communicate well yeah, with the people in your life. 256 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: And I'm curious, you know how how that's been as 257 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: it's developed in your life, Like where you think you've 258 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 2: learned communication skills? 259 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: Are the ones you're still working on? 260 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 3: Oh man, that's a really good question. I had a 261 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 3: really long talk with about managers today this about communication 262 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 3: because it's so it's so fascinating because I have this 263 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: idea that like I realized that, you know, there's one word, right, 264 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: let's call the word love. People kind of have their 265 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: own definition of love than the one that's in the 266 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 3: Webster's dictionary. And when you realize that, it's like, that's 267 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: why communicating is so important to understand. Okay, where are 268 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: we at? Like what are we saying? You know what 269 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 3: I mean, and you almost have to come up with 270 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: your own definitions within this word or this topic or 271 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 3: this whatever. And what I've learned is that you have 272 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: to really become a good listener one and you kind 273 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 3: of I mean not kind of. You have to take 274 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: emotion out of it most of the time, and just 275 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 3: being able to listen for words, listen and take words 276 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: for what they are and almost try to understand each 277 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: word that your partner, or your child, or your friend 278 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 3: or the person down the street who's upset because you 279 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 3: cut them off or whatever are saying. And from that 280 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 3: not being emotional, you're able to really understand the root 281 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: of what people actually want and then you get to 282 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 3: choose if you want to give that to them or 283 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 3: Now that's the that's like the and that's for every relationship, 284 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 3: me and my wife, me and my kids, my friends, 285 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: people online, it's like, oh, I understand what they're saying, 286 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: but it's okay, Well, but how do you. 287 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's easier said than done, because how 288 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: do you take I mean, it is very hard to 289 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: take the emotion out of it. Of your your neighbors mad, 290 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: like you're you're you don't want to jump in to defend. 291 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: Yourself for something, you know. 292 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: How is there a process you have for kind of 293 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 2: calming yourself down in these moments. 294 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: So I've tried, Like I've read a book called non 295 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: Violent Communication, and it talked about how you basically have 296 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 3: to become a good listener and understand what people actually 297 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 3: want to be honest with you. The only way that 298 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 3: you really get good at it is by putting yourself 299 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: out there to have conversations. Because my problem was I'll 300 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 3: be somebody who just shut down, and I had to 301 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 3: learn how to not shut it down and give myself 302 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 3: the chance to be able to give myself the opportunity 303 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: to communicate with someone. Like I said, in the morning, 304 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 3: I get up and I write questions. I'm focusing on 305 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: how to be a better communicator in those questions, and 306 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: I'm being intentional about I want to be warmer towards 307 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: my wife today, and that in itself supposed to me 308 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: look at her through a different lens, and I can 309 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 3: ignore that the house is dirty or that like we're 310 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 3: tired or whatever, because I'm choosing to look at her 311 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: and a lens of warmth and she's my wife and 312 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: I love her. Et cetera, et cetera. I really feel, 313 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 3: just from my experience that you don't It's easier said 314 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 3: than done, but you really get good at it by 315 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 3: giving yourself the opportunity to have those tough conversations or 316 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 3: to even just start a conversation about something I have 317 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 3: no idea that made Yeah, it did it. 318 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: It makes sense. And I'm curious. 319 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 2: I mean, your kids are still pretty little, right, They're 320 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 2: they're into yes, but I'm kind of curious, like how 321 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: you think about spending time with your kids and like 322 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: what are your favorite things you like to do with 323 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: your kids in the course of your regular schedule. 324 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I'm such like, like, what do 325 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: you guys want to do?

Because to be honest with you, 341 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 3: my wife is really big on like camp ten minute soccer, softball, 342 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: rock camp. 343 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, you're the chill parent. You're like 344 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: the sit around on the couch par Yeah. 345 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's like I want to go outside and 346 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: go to the park. All right, let's do it. 347 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: Let's do it. 348 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: All right, Well, we're going to take one more quick 349 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: ad break and then we'll be back with more with 350 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: Cedric Thompson. So I am curious obviously, you know anyone 351 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 2: who's had a career in professional athletics that's been a 352 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: major part of their life obviously their physical fitness, and 353 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: then you're adjusting to life afterwards where where no one's 354 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: requiring you to do anything. What is your exercise routine 355 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: looking like now? And where do where do you make 356 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: space for that? In your life. 357 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think the first thing is realizing that I 358 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 3: did not have to work out howard I want to play. 359 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 3: That was the first thing, is like I was out 360 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: like running crazy sprints, like I'm going to like go 361 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: out there and like tackle people again. So it was 362 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 3: for so for a long time. I had to learn like, hey, 363 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 3: you can just jaw like it's all right, you don't 364 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 3: have to like sprint around the lake, you know what 365 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 3: I mean. So that was the first thing, and now 366 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 3: it's really it took it took a lot of research 367 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 3: for me to realize what it actually takes to just 368 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 3: live have a healthy life and a healthy body, you know. 369 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 3: So now it's gone to two to three times a 370 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 3: week of like I would say, like string you with things, 371 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 3: you know, like lift like I don't wait anyone. I 372 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 3: didn't want to such a waiting my life again because 373 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 3: that's all I ever did. So like I'll do like 374 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 3: calistemics where it's like pull ups, push ups and stuff 375 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: like that. Not a runner don't like running, so I 376 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 3: don't run. So my cardiovasplas evers like sauna. It's like 377 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 3: the closest that I'll get and I'll try to jog. 378 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 3: We have a I'll ride by a lake. I'll try 379 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: to drag around the lake sometimes if only I'm invited, 380 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 3: I won't go out there by myself. 381 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: You're putting it in a different a different place in 382 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: your life. You spend a lot of time on it earlier. 383 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 2: If you spend a little less time on it now, 384 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 2: how do you I'm curious how you see your business 385 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: developing over the next few years? Is your you know, 386 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: get all these people watching your videos? Where do you 387 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: see this this going? 388 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 3: Well? Now, you know, for a long time, I've just 389 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 3: been expressing how I felt, and I knew people resonated 390 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: with it, and through that, you know, I've gotten a 391 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 3: lot of reason. It's giving me great opportunities to work 392 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 3: with like really big brands, and that's been that's been awesome. 393 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 3: But now I feel like I have something that I 394 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 3: want to get to the world that I've always felt 395 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 3: in my core and in my being, and it's I 396 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: call it harmony. That we're all looking for harmony out 397 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 3: in our lives. When you think about an orchestra, all 398 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 3: the people who are doing everything that they can and 399 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 3: leaning in their strengths to make these beautiful sounds and 400 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 3: I think about my life and how many things are 401 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: constantly moving around. All I'm ever trying to do is 402 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 3: just find harmony for myself. So I can find harmony 403 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 3: from out, give the best, give myself the best opportunity 404 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 3: find to have harmony with my wife and my kids 405 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 3: and my friends. And it's so reassuring to me because 406 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 3: it's something that you always have to work on. So 407 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: now these ideas and these philosophies of like how I 408 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 3: get up in the morning, or how I think about fitness, 409 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 3: how I think about time, all goes back to like 410 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 3: this idea of having harmony and always working to have 411 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 3: that harmony. So now I'm finding myself wanting to speak 412 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 3: like I'm doing the podcast and I'm starting a clothing 413 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 3: brand that's called Harmony to bring people back to this 414 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 3: way of thinking about our lives. So that's why you 415 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 3: see myself focusing on. 416 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: Now son any different extension that you can come up 417 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: from this concept of harmony basically. 418 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 419 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: We'll keep it sharing it with a broader audience for sure. Yeah. 420 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: So I always ask people, what is something you have 421 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: done recently to take a day from great to awesome? 422 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 3: You know, I think a lot of like my shift 423 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 3: from going from great to awesome, it's all based on 424 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 3: like how I look at something more than like something 425 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 3: that I put in my planner to do and it 426 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 3: changed and I it was a better day for me, 427 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 3: like the more like deep thinking and writing that I do. 428 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 3: It's all about how I look at things more so 429 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: than like something drastically changing for me to have an 430 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 3: awesome day, because you know, I used to hear people say, 431 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 3: like you every day was great every day. I'm like, well, 432 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 3: that's really hard for me to like to accept. But 433 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: when I changed my mindset, it was easy for me 434 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 3: to realize, you know, like life is good and like 435 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 3: everything's okay. So for me, it's more of a mindset 436 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 3: shift to have more consistent awesome days by the way 437 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 3: that I just view, I guess being appreciative of doing 438 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 3: things that I enjoy. 439 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: Well, I'm curious, was there any time recently that you know, objectively, 440 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: the day wasn't looking all that great and you were 441 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: able to to shift your mindset about it? 442 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 3: Hm? I mean it's like, what kid, do I want 443 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: to choose? Yeah, well, actually this is you. This morning, 444 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 3: So my youngest daughter, Quincy came in here, and you know, 445 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 3: when I'm in the morning, it's like, I don't know me. 446 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: I'm trying to answer these questions like I want my time, 447 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 3: and she came in here, and she came in here 448 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 3: to talk to me, and typically it'll be really easy 449 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 3: for me to be like Quincy like that leave daddy alone, 450 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: like it kind of knocks me off. And then I 451 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 3: was able to like be patient with her and like 452 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 3: sit with her and still do my thing. And right 453 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 3: then it clicked to me, like, oh, like I still 454 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 3: can't get the writing done. It's just about shifting a 455 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 3: little bit and making sure that she's commed. If I 456 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 3: don't give her the love that she's looking for, it's 457 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 3: just it's going to be more tough. She's too, she's 458 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 3: gonna keep coming back. She's understanding I'm sitting there writing, 459 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 3: so I would say, and for me, if I have 460 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 3: a bad morning, it's really hard for me to have 461 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 3: a bad day. So that's little shift in mindset there. 462 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 3: I would say, too, not even a great day, like 463 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 3: it could have been a bad day to an awesome day, 464 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 3: just by realizing what was going on with my two 465 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 3: year old. 466 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: Yeah that's great. 467 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you can't really push off a two year 468 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: old and expect them to understand like, oh, oh, I 469 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 2: see you had something else you were doing. Go yeah, 470 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: pardon me, Yeah, it's all good, Okay, Yeah. 471 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to right now? 472 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: I think building out harmony for me, like now that 473 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 3: I understand like all the things that I've been going 474 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 3: through all these years, that I have a way to 475 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 3: conceptualize it and give it to the world, it really 476 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 3: excites me. And I feel like I'm really at a 477 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 3: point in my life where I'm getting up and I'm 478 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 3: doing something that doesn't feel like work.
