1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Being limitless is about being comfortable with discomfort. Do you

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: think you were comfortable taking your first few steps as

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: a baby. If you think about being a child, you

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: did something uncomfortable every few months. You started to walk

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: when you couldn't. You started to crawl when you couldn't.

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: You started to roll over when you couldn't. You started

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: to put yourself to bed when you couldn't. You started

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: to eat things when you didn't know you could. You

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: started to talk when you didn't know you could. You

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: constantly grew, and you grew fast and look what it created. Hey, everyone,

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,839

00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,840

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: so take a moment, take a beat to just honor that.

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we're coming to the end of the year now,

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: and I hope that you've had an incredible year of breakthrough, transformation, transition,

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: I hope that this has been a year that you

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: will look back to and remember for all the good things.

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: And if it's been a tough year, then I want

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: to set you up for success next year. And if

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: you've had a great year, I want next year to

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: be an even greater year. So I want you to

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: tune in to all of our episodes up until the

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: end of the year, because I'm going to be giving

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: you the insight on how to make twenty twenty three

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: the most incredible year. Now, it's about this time of year,

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: actually a couple of months ago, when I start preparing

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: for the year ahead. So I spend October, November, December

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: every year working a little bit harder so that I'm

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: feeling better in January, Fabrid March of next year. I

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: find that doing the work this year and pushing myself

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more allows me to come back feeling excited,

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: feeling positive, knowing the winds are coming, rather than the

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: anxiety and the stress that often comes with the new year.

39
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: And today I want to talk to you about that

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: because this year, when I was doing it, and last

41
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: year when I was doing it, I realized I was

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: really using every bit of resilience and grit that I had.

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: I was pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. And

44
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: that's what I want to talk to you about today

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: is our comfort zone. Our comfort zone makes us feel cozy,

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: it makes us feel warm, and I find that a

47
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: lot of us during the pandemic, we had to find comfort.

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: We had to find peace, We had to find stability.

49
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: That was the need of the hour, that was the

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: need of the years. There was a need for each

51
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: of us to find comfort, to find peace, to find calm,

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: to find stillness. And what I realized is that often

53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: we stay in the space we needed last season, Right,

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: how many of you feel that that you've stayed energetically

55
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: in the space you needed last season? But you can

56
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: tell that the season is changing, there's new things happening,

57
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: there's new growth, but there's a level of pace that

58
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: you've got stuck in. And if you're feeling that way,

59
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: like Jay, yeah, I just feel like I've been a

60
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: bit slower. I've been a bit lethargic. And maybe you

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: didn't like that. Now, if you like that, that's awesome.

62
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: But if there's a part of you that knows that

63
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: you have more potential, that knows that next year you

64
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: want to be more activated. That knows that next year

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: you want to get after some things that are really important.

66
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: The thing that's most fascinating about this is that I

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: don't think we recognize how much growth, learning, and moving

68
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: forward towards something are part of happiness. I think we

69
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: think of goals as success and achieve and because we've

70
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: made it about the result, because we've made it about

71
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: the best seller list, because we've made it about the charts,

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: because we've made it about the rich list, that does

73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: become about success and achievement. But who we become in

74
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: the journey towards our goal. That's what goals are for.

75
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: A good goal is a goal that makes you better

76
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: than you were. Right, that's a good goal. A good

77
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: goal is not one you reach. A good goal is

78
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: one that makes you better than you were. And so

79
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: I think we often don't realize that striving moving towards

80
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: something without the pressure of getting there is actually good

81
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: for our mental health. It's actually good for our happiness.

82
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm reading this from a journal. Psychologists conducted a study

83
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: where people documented major life events in an ongoing diary

84
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: over the course of three months, months, and four and

85
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: a half years after the events happened. People who engage

86
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: in a variety of experiences are more likely to retain

87
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: positive emotions and minimize negative ones than people who have

88
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: fewer experiences. A study conducted by Yale researchers found that

89
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: the only time we learn is when there is uncertainty

90
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: in our emotions. It's impossible to learn in any atmosphere

91
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: that is too comfortable and familiar. You learn more when

92
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: you're challenged or when you have to work harder to

93
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: keep up. So I love those two studies because we

94
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: start recognizing, Okay, well, I need to have new experiences,

95
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: I need to put myself in new places, and I

96
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: only learn when things are uncomfortable. Now, I don't need

97
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: to make my life uncomfortable uncertain. But what if I

98
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: have a discomfort day? Right? Or maybe you're like Jay,

99
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: I already have uncomfortable mornings. Maybe I just need to

100
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: look at them differently. So an example this is I

101
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: walk into a lot of stores and if you're like me,

102
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: I've been you know, I generally am living in LA

103
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: addressed very casually. I'll be wearing sweats, wearing my new

104
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: favorite Ellwood sweats. Shout out to Justin and the team

105
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: at Ellwood. If you're not wearing Elwood sweats. This is

106
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: not an ad, by the way. I'm just a big

107
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: fan of the Brandon. I'm genuinely wearing it right now.

108
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: But I'll walk into a store in those sweats. What

109
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I find so often is that I'm in my comfort

110
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: zone wearing sweats, and then when I see something that's

111
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: different to that item of clothing, it's hard for me

112
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: to imagine myself in it. And anyone who knows they've

113
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: only worn the same thing for two years totally can

114
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: relate to this. And then when you start putting on

115
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: things that have a different silhouette, or have a different outline,

116
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: or make you look a bit different, it's challenging. Right.

117
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: It's challenging even to change what you wear, so imagine

118
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: how challenging it is to change how you think, what

119
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: you believe, your values. Right, we get so stuck. I

120
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: have a friend who literally has been wearing sweats for

121
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: the last three years, to dinner, anywhere, everywhere. Now. I

122
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: don't have anything against sweats, but it was really interesting

123
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: that I was having this conversation with him. He's struggling

124
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: in some of his work stuff right now, And I

125
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: was telling him how he needs to change his environment

126
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: if he's to change his mind. Changing your environment includes

127
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: your office space, your mind space. The first thing you

128
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 1: see in the morning. I think we underestimate the power

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: of the first thing you see in the morning. For

130
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: most of us, it's news, notifications, negativity, and noise. What

131
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: if it was your favorite work of art. What if

132
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: it was a picture of your family that brought you joy.

133
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: What if it was the name of your brand. What

134
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: if it was your favorite lyric or affirmation? What is

135
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: the first thing you see in the morning. Now, I

136
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: want to talk about what comfort does when you stay

137
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: in comfort. It's interesting because it creates something, and what

138
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: it creates is complacency. And I want to give a

139
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: scaled up example of this. So I read a book

140
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: a few years ago. It's a book that truly changed

141
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 1: my life. It's called Exponential Organizations, and it's all about

142
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: how the greatest companies in the world think exponentially. And

143
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: so this was one of the first books that talked

144
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: about the idea that Airbnb has access to more real

145
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: estate than any hotel company in the world. Uber has

146
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: access to more vehicles than any car service Instagram has

147
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: more access to media, but doesn't make any think about that.

148
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: In ten to twenty years, these companies have achieved what

149
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: it's taken companies fifty plus years to achieve. And a

150
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: lot of these companies achieve that within their first ten years.

151
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. There was a lot of complacency and comfort

152
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: from all these other companies, where these other organizations, these

153
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: exponential organizations, were able to supersede and move super fast

154
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: past them, and comfort and complacency creates this stagnation. And

155
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: there's two sentences that are always quoted as being frames

156
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: of mind that hold us back, and there's seven word phrases.

157
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: One of them is we have always done it that way.

158
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: I have always done it that way. I always do

159
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: it that way right. How many times does that thought

160
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: come up into your mind or in your language of yeah,

161
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: I know how to do that. We've always done that right.

162
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: And the other one that we say a lot is

163
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: if it's not broken, don't fix it. If it's not broken,

164
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: just counting, don't fix it right. Like, those two statements

165
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: create comfort and complacency. So what I want you to

166
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: do right now is I want you to reflect where

167
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: in your life. Are you starting to see comfort creep in?

168
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: Because that's the other thing about comfort. It doesn't break in.

169
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: Comfort creeps in. That's why we don't see it. Comfort

170
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: creeps in. It doesn't break in. If it broke in,

171
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: you'd notice it. But comfort creeps in ever so slowly

172
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: that you don't even know how it got involved, how

173
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: it got engaged, how it was invited in. And so

174
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: I want you to become really aware of where are

175
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: those blind spots. I had a friend asked me the

176
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: other day, what are your blind spots jay for next year?

177
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: And I thought, what a brilliant question, because if I know,

178
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: then I'm not blind. And that's why it was a

179
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: genius question. And so what are your blind spots? Think

180
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: about that for a second. What is something in twenty

181
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: twenty three that you're not even aware of that might

182
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: affect you. What is something that you think you've been

183
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: blind to or you're often blind to. I realized for me,

184
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: one of the biggest ones every year is getting so

185
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: good at saying no. Learning how to say no is

186
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: a blind spot for me. I overcommit, I overgive, I serve,

187
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: I overpush because I want to be there. I want

188
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: to show up and it's challenging and I'm trying to understand.

189
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: So that's me pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

190
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: But what I've realized is that really pushing myself out

191
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: of my comfort zone is learning how to say no. Right.

192
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: It's really interesting. I was speaking to my friend from

193
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Yes Theory Amar the other day, and Ama was saying

194
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: that for years Yes Theory, if you don't know them,

195
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: amazing YouTube channel, what they do is they said yes

196
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: to a lot of crazy challenges. Right. They've gone and

197
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: done incredible things like find their way out of a

198
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: country that they got dropped in without a phone, going

199
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: to like hidden places across the world, tracking in the

200
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,239
Speaker 1: snow and ice, and all these different physical and mental challenges.

201
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: And he was saying that doing the next big thing,

202
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: which was uncomfortable when they started, actually became comfortable. Think

203
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: about that for a second. The thing that used to

204
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: make you uncomfortable now has started to make you comfortable.

205
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: So he said that we realized that we were in

206
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: our comfort zone. And he said that now the greatest

207
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: route to being out of his comfort zone is actually

208
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: being alone with his thoughts for fifteen minutes, meditating in

209
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: the morning. So I love that idea that what is

210
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: it that used to challenge you before? Now you may

211
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: even have mastered it or pushed yourself to create a

212
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: discipline out of it. Now you have to find that

213
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: next challenge. In another way, what you've conquered is no

214
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: longer your discomfort zone. And so I want you to

215
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: think about that that sometimes you'll find what are you

216
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: complacent about? But sometimes what have you conquered? What have

217
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: you built? What have you achieved that now isn't challenging

218
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: you in the same way. And the interesting thing is

219
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: that complacency and comfort lead to a crash. And we

220
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: see this with companies, we see this with individuals. I

221
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: loved the examples of I remember a few years ago

222
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: I interviewed Mark Randolph, the co founder of a huge company,

223
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: but at one point he had a small company, and

224
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: he said that they were around fifty two million dollars

225
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 1: in debt, and he said they would have done anything

226
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: to get the company off their hands. If someone offered

227
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: them fifty two million, they would have taken it to

228
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: be at zero, just to break even to get out

229
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: of it, because it wasn't going in the right direction.

230
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: And he said that they even flew, they saved what

231
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: they had flew to this company, this big company who

232
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: was going to buy them. This company turned down buying

233
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: them for fifty million, and this bigger company turned down

234
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: buying them. I heard like three times that big company

235
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: was Blockbuster and that small company was Netflix. Right. Mark Randolph,

236
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: the co founder of Netflix, was telling me this story

237
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: on the podcast. He was one of the first ever

238
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: guests around three years ago, now three and a half

239
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,239
Speaker 1: years ago. And it's incredible, right that a company like Blockbuster,

240
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: with the success that it had, it just doesn't connect.

241
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: You're just not aware because you get complacent, you get comfortable.

242
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: Another good example that I like to talk about is Nokia.

243
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: How many of you remember Snake one, and how many

244
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: of you remember Snake two? And how many of you

245
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: are still waiting for Snake three? Right, like it didn't happen.

246
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: Complacency comfort, and so you don't even know what complacency

247
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: and comforts steal from you. That's what's so interesting. They're

248
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: such fascinating thieves, or they're such fascinating thieves that we

249
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: don't even know what they'll steal from us. I don't

250
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: want them to steal your potential. I don't want them

251
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: to steal your service. Now, this doesn't mean you have

252
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: to hustle or you have to like push yourself and

253
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: become productive. That's not my point. My point is where

254
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: are you getting complacent and comfortable where you don't want

255
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: to be. That's the question. The question isn't how can

256
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: you push yourself harder and how can you make yourself

257
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: work more? That's not the question. The question is what

258
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,119
Speaker 1: is the area in your life where you're getting comfortable

259
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: and complacent that you don't want to get comfortable and

260
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: complacent in. And the other question is what are your

261
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: blind spots? What are those areas that you're not even

262
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: conscious of that are affecting your potential? Being limitless is

263
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: about being comfortable with discomfort. Do you believe that people

264
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: were comfortable going to the space or moon? You know,

265
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: do you think people were comfortable? Do you think you

266
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: were comfortable taking your first few steps as a baby.

267
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: If you think about being a child, you did something

268
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: uncomfortable every few months, right, you started to walk when

269
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: you couldn't, You started to crawl when you couldn't, You

270
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: started to roll over when you couldn't, You started to

271
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: put yourself to bed when you couldn't. You started to

272
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: eat things when you didn't know you could. You started

273
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: to talk when you didn't know you could. You constantly grew,

274
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: and you grew fast, and look what it created. And

275
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: for some reason, when we finished college, we finished school,

276
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, it's feel like you're grown now.

277
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: Like you're a grown up. Right, you're grown up. No

278
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: more growing left doesn't make sense. You're a grown up,

279
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: no more growing left. No, if you're grown up, keep growing, right.

280
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: If you're a grown up, keep growing. I want to

281
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: be a growing up. I think we've just put these

282
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: phrases into the world that have stunted our growth. When

283
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: you think about curiosity killed the cat, and I'll get

284
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: onto that curiosity didn't kill the cat, complacency did. But

285
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: if you always heard that as a kid, you became

286
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: more safe, you became less pro risk. And there's benefit

287
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: in this. I'm not saying there's benefit in safety. There is,

288
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: but there's also benefit in the opposite. And I think

289
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: what I'm finding is we're not trying to choose an extreme.

290
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: We're not trying to choose one or the other. What

291
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: we're trying, as a collective is to find that middle path.

292
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: How many of you were first comfortable when you started

293
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: doing what you are doing now, I'm sure none of

294
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: you are comfortable. I'm sure you still feel discomfort when

295
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: you try something new. All the best stuff happened when

296
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: we put ourselves into uncomfortable situations. All our best stuff

297
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: came from that, right, reflect on that for a second.

298
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: How many of your best moments came from things that

299
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: were uncomfortable? Now I want you to take the opposite path.

300
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: So we talked about one pathway. Comfort leads to complacency

301
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: leads to crashing. Right, comfort, complacency crash, and that's the

302
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: journey we're gone. We start with getting comfortable, it creeps in.

303
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: As it creeps in and it develops, right, we end

304
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: up getting lason and then as complacency develops, we crash. Now,

305
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: even before comfort is casualness, right, So you may not

306
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: even be comfortable, but there may be like a casual

307
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: feeling around certain things. As you become more casual, you

308
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: become more comfortable. And so I want you to ask yourself,

309
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: where are you starting to see signs of that journey?

310
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: And how are you going to limit that journey? Controlling

311
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: you Now the opposite journey starts with curiosity, right, curiosity.

312
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: There's a beautiful quote by zig Ziggler that I love.

313
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: You don't have to be great to start, but you

314
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: have to start to be great. Curiosity. What are you

315
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: curious about? What are you not leaning into? What have

316
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: you been thinking about for two years? Oh? I really

317
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: want to do a podcast. Oh I really want to

318
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: write a book. I really want to act. Whatever it

319
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: may be. You're curious about it, but you haven't followed

320
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: that curiosity. Why because you've been comfortable and complacent. I'm

321
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: doing a world torn next everyone. I am so excited,

322
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: And I want you to head over to Jstti tour

323
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: dot com to get your tour dates and buy your

324
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: tour tickets. And I want you to head to eight

325
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: Rules of Love dot com to buy and pre order

326
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: the book. But Jetty Tour dot com. I'm coming on

327
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: tour now. I'm it's a big tour. It's like I'm

328
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: going all across the world. I'm excited for you to

329
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: sell out every place obviously that I visit. It's I've

330
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: never done it before. I'm super new. I mean, I'm

331
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: very comfortable being on stage. I love that part. But

332
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: I've never traveled so much to so many cities in

333
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: such a short space of time. But I'm curious. I've

334
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: been curious about going on tour for such a long time.

335
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: So here we are. And so curiosity helps you build

336
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: competence as you get curious. What you have to do

337
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: with the mistake we make is we let curiosities remain

338
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: a passion, which means they give us diminishing return. So

339
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If you're passionate about something, if you're

340
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: curious about something but you don't get good at it,

341
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: it gives you less and less joy. Have you ever

342
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: found that when you want to learn a language but

343
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: you don't learn it quick enough, and now it just

344
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: frustrates you? Right, almost the idea upsets you. Even when

345
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: someone says that at dinner, it triggers you because you

346
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: know you haven't made progress. Right If you say, I

347
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: really want to launch a podcast, I really want to

348
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: write a book, but you don't build your competence in it,

349
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: then when someone brings it up, it kind of like

350
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: makes you feel uncomfortable. So we create our own discomfort

351
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: because we don't build competence. So figure out that course,

352
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: that program, you need to go on to build your competence,

353
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: your skills. We now have over a thousand J. Shetty

354
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: certified coaches, and I've found that all of these coaches

355
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: have built an incredible competence not just to be great coaches,

356
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: but to be great parents, partners, professionals, friends. So curiosity

357
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: leads to competence, which leads to crushing it. Right, we

358
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 1: have that choice, do we want to crash or do

359
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: we want to crush? And there's only one letter difference

360
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: in those two words, and it's you. Right. It's a

361
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: choice that you make, that you take the path of

362
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: curiosity or you take the path of comfort. Now, I'm

363
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: not saying that you shouldn't be comfortable in your life,

364
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't have comforts in your life. That's a

365
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: different conversation. I actually find that I live seventy five

366
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: percent of my life in my discomfort zone, and so

367
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: my personal life is very comfortable. I have a very

368
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: comfortable bed, I travel very comfortably because seventy five percent

369
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: of my life is uncomfortable. When I get off a plane,

370
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: I have to do something uncomfortable. Right when I wake

371
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: up in the morning, I often have to do something

372
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: uncomfortable early in the morning, and so I've tried to

373
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: make my life surrounding that comfortable so that it can

374
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: catch me so that not everything is uncomfortable. Right, you

375
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: can't have a life where everything, so my personal needs

376
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: are comfortable as opposed to my challenges that I take on. Now,

377
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this question. What are three things

378
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: you know you need to do to transform your life

379
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: next year? What are three things you know you need

380
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: to do? Here's the thing. You know your life better

381
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: than I do. I'm not here to tell you what

382
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: to do. I'm here to help you figure out how

383
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: to do it and how to think about it. What

384
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: are the three things you need to do? I'm going

385
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: to tell you what are the three things stopping you

386
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: from doing those three things. The first thing is you

387
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: need to set challenges, not just goals challenges, And I

388
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: think this is the mindset switch. We keep setting goals

389
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: and then we keep feeling disappointed that we don't reach them.

390
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: Set challenges. What are you challenging yourself to do? Not

391
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: where are you trying to get, Not what goal or

392
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: target you're trying to hit. What is the challenge you're

393
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: setting yourself? I challenge myself to go on a world tour. Right,

394
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: that's a challenge. My goal isn't do a world tour.

395
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 1: My goal is. My challenge is do a world tour. Right,

396
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: go on a world tour. I challenge myself to take

397
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: a world tour. It gets exciting. You're competitive with yourself.

398
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: We always say that, Oh no, I don't compete against

399
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: anyone to compete against me? Right, we all say that,

400
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: But what does that mean? It means you challenge yourself.

401
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: A competitor's only role is to challenge you to become better.

402
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: That's what competitors are for. That's what comparison is for.

403
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: It's not to make you feel worse. It's to make

404
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: you want to be better in things you care about.

405
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: So if you're going to make yourself your own competitor,

406
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: that has to be how you use it. So find

407
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: someone in your life that challenges you, but challenge yourself,

408
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: someone that keeps you accountable. Share an audacious challenge with

409
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: yourself and the person that you want to have in

410
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: your life, one that makes you feel a little uncomfortable,

411
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: but you're excited about it. Right. The second step is

412
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 1: figure out what in your day to day needs to change.

413
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: What in your environment needs to change. What about your

414
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: environment is getting too comfortable. Have you created a we

415
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: ken routine that's too comfortable, a morning routine that's too comfortable.

416
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: And I don't want you to be harsher on yourself,

417
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: and I don't want you to make big changes. You

418
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: can listen to my episode and habits to help you

419
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: figure that out. And the third step is I want

420
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: you to repeat these three affirmations. I even want you

421
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: to write them down. I am ready to go to

422
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: the next level. Repeat that after me. I am ready

423
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: to go to the next level. I am ready to

424
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: go to the next level. Now this one, take it internally.

425
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: I can do hard things. I can do hard things.

426
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: I can do hard things. And the third one is

427
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: I will not settle for less than I deserve. I

428
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: will not settle for less than I deserve. I will

429
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: not settle for less than I deserve. Thank you so

430
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: much for joining me today. I'm so grateful for all

431
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: the love, all the energy. This year. We've got a

432
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: few more weeks to make twenty twenty two amazing, and

433
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to be starting twenty twenty three with the bank.

434
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: We've got so many great episodes for health and wellness,

435
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: for mindset, for your gut, for your heart, health, for

436
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: your mental health, Deeply powerful conversations with people that we

437
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: know and love. I'm so excited for twenty twenty three,

438
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: and I'm going to help you be excited and energized

439
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: for it as well. Keep tuning into on Purpose. I'll

Speaker 1: Take care,
