So 16 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: Episode one was the introduction episode, and we did like 17 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: a bit of the book team. I kind of spoke 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: about a little bit behind the scenes, but because Boss 19 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 2: had already interviewed me about the whole the book process 20 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: as a whole, I didn't kind of go down all 21 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 2: of that stuff again because that episode already exists. And 22 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: then the second episode, we broke down the whole first 23 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: part of the book because the book's got a part 24 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: one or two, and now we're going to do the 25 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: second part of the book, which is kind of like 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: the physical things you can do hopefully to like launch 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: you off into chasing your dreams. So what I'll do 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 2: is I just kind of like give you a little 29 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: taste of each chapter, just like a pinch, and just 30 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: give you a little vibe of the book. 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: And if something comes up and I'm. 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: Like, oh, we actually cut this bit about this because 33 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: this I'll give you a little bit of behind the 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: scenes of it too. For example, even I'm just looking 35 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: at now, it says part two on page one of 36 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,919 Speaker 2: the book, and there's this little like underneath part two, 37 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: there's this little star underneath it. I did not know 38 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: that that is called a dingis lertjit. It's a little 39 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: logo star thing. And we spent so much time like 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 2: playing with this star, like initially it was dots and 41 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: then it was a flower. One I was like, I 42 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: don't want it to be super feminine, and so we 43 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: landed on a star. 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: So the dingis. 45 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's what they're called dingis or dingas 46 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: or something like that. It all sounds very dongle and penis, Like, 47 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: doesn't it dingus anyway? Or like a dingo maybe, but 48 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: it's called a dingas. They're like the little star things 49 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: that you'll see like at the chapter beginnings and whatnot 50 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: of the book. I just really shared information for no 51 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: real reason, just kind of a sip. 52 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: I've just made myself a little chay as we record this.

I got 54 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: given these Byron bay Chai tea bags and they're so yummy. 55 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: Just put hot water, dash of oat milk, put a 56 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: little pincher honey in it and it's just absolutely Deliciamo, 57 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 2: perfect little afternoon pick me up. Right. Oh, so this 58 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: chapter is called Becoming Bulletproof. The quote at the top 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 2: of this chapter is from one of the guests I've 60 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 2: had on the podcast who just blew me away. I 61 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: got Tiary in this episode and I'd never met this 62 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: person before in my life, and now I'm like their 63 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: biggest fam So this is by Zoe Tauacus, actor and activist. 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: Being gay and being trans kind of backs you into 65 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: a corner because you live your life knowing some people 66 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: don't agree with your existence and others would rather you 67 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: were dead, and so you kind of just have to 68 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: go fuck you. Then this is who I am. If 69 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: you don't like it, fine by me, get in line. 70 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of people who do like it 71 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: and feel liberated by it and seen by it. So 72 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: fuck you, take me or leave me. I mean, Zoe Tarracus, 73 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: if you ever hear this, You're a legend. I really 74 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: really loved say Okay, So becoming Bulletproof it was actually 75 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: fun fact the working title of this book, So the 76 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: book wasn't going to be called Feelsley Failing. It was 77 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: going to be called called Becoming Bulletproof. But there is 78 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 2: an amazing health author in America called Dave Asbury who 79 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: has got a bulletproof like coined bulletproof as his kind 80 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: of like diet and movement, and so I was like, 81 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: I just don't want to step on toes, especially moving 82 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: into that territory myself. So we decided it felt right 83 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: to make it fit with the pod and I'm so wrapped, 84 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: really happy. I think We've landed on there. The best 85 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: title for this book anyway, again. 86 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: I digress. I'll read a little bit for you, right. 87 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: Oh. 88 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: In the first part of this. 89 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: Book, I've shared loads of personal stories, and we've explored fear, failure, heartbreak, grief, 90 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: and even death. But now it's time to get grips 91 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: with what it means to really become bulletproof, to step 92 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: into that space of becoming the captain of your own ship. 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: I think this might just be my favorite chapter of 94 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: the book. Oh. In the last episode, I was like, Oh, 95 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: human behavior in acting is my favorite chapter of the book. 96 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: It's funny. I think it changes and by the time 97 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 2: you finish reading it, I hope that you'll not only 98 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: have a better understanding of who you are, but you 99 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: will feel empowered, excited, and ready to fearlessly step up 100 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: to the plate and go after all that you wish 101 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: to achieve in this life, whether that's improving your health, 102 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: building and starting your own family, falling in love, or 103 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: choosing into step into the uncharted waters of going after 104 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 2: your dream career. But first things first, what makes someone 105 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: bulletproof and what does it even mean? 106 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: Anyway? 107 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: Becoming bulletproof is my mantra. It was given the working 108 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: to Oh, I did say that. It was even the 109 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: working title of this book for quite some time, and 110 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 2: something my therapist regularly checks in with me about, as 111 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 2: we have a goal to become Oh sorry, as this 112 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: is what I was saying the first in the first 113 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: episode of this series. When you trip on a word 114 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: when you're recording the audiobook, you have to go all 115 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: the way back because they edit on your breath, and 116 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: so you can't just like pick up the word. You've 117 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 2: got to go all their back sense, and then you're 118 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: in your head and then you trip on the exact 119 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: same thing again. So let me just try and do 120 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: that sentence a little bit again. Becoming bulletproof is my mantra. 121 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: It was even the working title for this book for 122 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: quite some time, and something that my therapist regularly checks 123 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: in with me about, as it has become a goal 124 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: of ours to help me navigate and hold my own 125 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: in the cutthroat, often crawl and confronting media industry in 126 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 2: which I work. 127 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: So, yeah, obviously, you know the media industry is. 128 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: Brutal, and I open up about that, and I open 129 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: up about like all the like failed pilots and whatnot 130 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: I've filmed but never got the gig. I talk about resilience, 131 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: hope and becoming bulletproof, and I kind of go down 132 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: the resilience resilience rabbit hole for a little while because 133 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: I did some research on some epic professionals in the 134 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: resilience world, both in Australia and in New Zealand, and 135 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: also the US military. They teach this thing called hunting 136 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: for good and it's so cool. 137 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: It's all in the book. I've written all about it. 138 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: Then I've written about pay attention. 139 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: And learn to go with the flow. That's harder for me. 140 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: But sometimes I don't go to the flow. Sometimes I'll 141 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: fight something and it's to my detriment. Drop the ego 142 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: and watch out for the fame trap, which we kind 143 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: of touched on in the last parts of part one 144 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: of the book. Have the courage to put yourself on 145 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: the line, have the work ethic to back it up. 146 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: Learn to practice non attachment. That one's very yogi but 147 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: very hard. Be kind to others and to yourself.

I saw a 172 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: mate on Insta that lives in LA the other day 173 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: he was watching I think a Lakers game, and it 174 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: was like called the John Wooden Court, and there was 175 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 2: a one seat in the stand and all the seats 176 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: are blue, but there's this one golden seat and it 177 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: was the seat that he would always sit at. 178 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: After his match. Is that like he'd coached? Oh so good? Anyway, 179 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: I digress, But research John woodn't. He's amazing. So this 180 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: is the bit where I go. Now, this is where 181 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: it gets fun. 182 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: This chapter is your bag of tricks to help you 183 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: navigate this weird and wonderful thing called life. So I 184 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: basically share stuff that's worked for me. 185 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: Mental health, yogs. 186 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: I really dive into yog so I break down like 187 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 2: the yarmas, then armors the eight limbs of yogas. 188 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: There's a bit of philosophy in there. Of course. 189 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: We touch on food nutrition, like I'm a nutritionist, so 190 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: I talk about a breakdown refined sugar. 191 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: Wheat, gluten, junk food, dairy. 192 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: So I just kind of like hit on those like 193 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: simple things, but like the things that I apply to 194 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: my own life, meditation and mindfulness. We talk about a 195 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: bit about breath control as well, gratitude biophilia, which is 196 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: like my favorite word in the entire world, which is 197 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: the healing power of Mother Nature on human beings. We 198 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: talk about energy healing like so crystals, reiki. Then we 199 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: talk about acupuncture, which I had the other day in 200 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: Byron for the first time, which is awesome. Like the 201 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: first time in Byron, I used to get it all 202 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: the time in Melbourne, Cairo, reflexology, oracle cards, tarot cards, clairvoyants, 203 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: hypnotherapy which I love, animal therapy, eurodology that's where you 204 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: read the eyes, which I am funnily enough trained in. 205 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 2: I learned that at Uni Flower essence therapy, a evader 206 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 2: which is traditional Indian medicine, which I did a couple 207 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 2: of semesters of at Uni, but I wouldn't call myself 208 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 2: an Aubadic practitioner. 209 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: It's a really cool concept though. 210 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: It's like they say that we've got three doses Vata, 211 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: bit da Gafa, and then like they've always got one dominant. 212 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: Mine is probably Pita dominant, and then I lean into 213 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: Vata when I get really spiritual and like ethereal, but 214 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: mainly pit us. It's really interesting, definitely looking to read 215 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 2: that bit of the book. We talk about past life regression, 216 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: dream work, noo, tropics, obviously I'm into them because of 217 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: the medicinal mushrooms in Lolla coffee, but I talk about 218 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: other nootropics, even like caffeine altheinine. 219 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: Creatine we talk about. And then the next chapter is 220 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: do the work. 221 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: It's kind of like your tough love. And I got 222 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: an amazing radio host on the pod. His name's Tim Blackwell, 223 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: and he said, you don't get the job for work ethic, 224 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: but you keep the job for work ethic, which I 225 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 2: thought was really cool, really lovely guy too. 226 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: I was so nervous to interview him on the pod. 227 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 2: Now the title of this chap, now the title of 228 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: this chapter might sound a little bit like tough love, 229 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: but I promise you I'm just telling you the absolute 230 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: truth here from my perspective, without the sugar coating, Because 231 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 2: you know what, somedays life is hard. For professional or 232 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 2: personal challenge happened, and they can hurt you, and although 233 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: we ultimately grow from them, it's the work that we 234 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 2: have done up to a certain point that will determine 235 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: what we get out of any given situation. So doing 236 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: the work, it's like a lot of stuff I've learned 237 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: from acting, is like that kind of work ethic too, 238 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 2: how to do the work even when you don't feel 239 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: like it. Learn how to be irreplaceable. That was a 240 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: Yogi story. Invest in some non negotiables. So I've got 241 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 2: a big list of non negotiables and I share them 242 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: with you. So I share you exactly my non negotiables. 243 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 2: Build your smarts is a cool one. And when we 244 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: were doing the audiobook of this, I realized I hadn't 245 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 2: been reading for a while, because the quickest way to 246 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: build your smarts is to read at night, just like 247 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: read a few pages of a book, and Boss and 248 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: I are both like, we've got a bit at our 249 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: smarts and started reading again. Be prepared to make sacrifices, 250 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 2: usually social ones if you're focusing on career stuff. Learn 251 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: to pay attention. And then I kind of like shared 252 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: some of my favorite yoga Sanskrit words like seir us uka, 253 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: the balance of strength and softness, shrata, which is like 254 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: faith and trusting, shuck shin to bear witness even when 255 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: you're standing in the fire. San culp is cool. That's 256 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: when you send an intention like in yogs. You do 257 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: it at the start of the class, but you can 258 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: do it anytime you want. You can do it right 259 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: now if you want it. You're literally just like you 260 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: could just be like, okay tomorrow, I want to be 261 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 2: super healthy, you know, and you just set a little 262 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: attention for yourself, coruna, compassion for yourself, but also for others, kindness, truth, 263 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 2: there is something non attachment. 264 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: And then you've kind of got your g up at 265 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: the end. 266 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 2: Like that I always give you like the bullet points 267 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: at the end, and then it goes into this this chapter, right, oh, 268 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: let's do this, and then this is cool. This is 269 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 2: Emmi lu McCarthy who's been on the POT as well, 270 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: and she said you're allowed to change your goal set, 271 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: your dreams, your hair color, your weight, you can do 272 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: whatever you want to do. 273 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: Really cool. She talked about choosing your hard too. 274 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 2: She was like, pick your heart. Chasing your dreams is hard, 275 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: and also not tracing your dreams hard. Pick your hard. 276 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: Getting started talking about commitment, I talk about how I 277 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: use music in my life to manifest but also to 278 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: write and delta brain waves and that's kind of cool 279 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: a nerd out of that. I'm a massive music movie 280 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: score fan, so I listened to a lot of Han 281 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: Zimmer Stay Grounded You to show up and suck before 282 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: you can show up and shine. It's a yoga training 283 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: thing I learned. Don't be too scared to jump, get going, dream, 284 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: make mood boards, manifesto books. In your spare time, write 285 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: down what you want, use music to help your goal setting, 286 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: ground yourself. You've got to show up and suck before 287 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: you can show up and shine. But in the moment, 288 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: take the risk, believe in yourself, cut out the noise 289 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: and jump. And then the conclusion, I don't want to 290 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: tell you because it is a love letter. It's a 291 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: love letter to you, the listener or the reader. So 292 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: that's a little like surprise the end. So yeah, I 293 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: really hope that this little series has been a little 294 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: bit of a taste of the book and kind of 295 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: like what the book's about and why it exists.
