12
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: and welcome to another episode of the Rise and Conquer Podcast. Today,

13
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: I have a mini solo episode for you and we

14
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: are chatting fear. We are rising and conquering fear. So

15
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: this has been coming up a lot lately, whether it's

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: for myself or in my DMS or I even remember

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 1: I got a question about this at the live podcast

18
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: events and so a big reason why we don't chase

19
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: out of dreams. We don't do you know, the thing

20
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: we want? We don't take the bold action is because

21
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: we're fearful. We're fearful of what others will think. We're

22
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: fearful that we won't make money, that it will air

23
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: quotes fail. So this can relate to a lot of things, like,

24
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, wanting to leave your job and pursue your

25
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: side hustle, or even starting a side hustle, or this

26
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: might be a toxic relationship that you want to leave,

27
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: or just starting something new. And a big thing that

28
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about lately is realizing that we very

29
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: much have a choice with most of our actions in life.

30
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to sit here and try and say,

31
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: you know, I understand everyone has fear, and I understand

32
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: all the concepts around it, because I just don't. I know,

33
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: everyone has so many different circumstances, but at the end

34
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: of the day, we all do have a choice in

35
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: taking that next step leaving the job, you know, leaving

36
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: a relationship, starting something new. And I read a quote

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: the other day and it said you are not stuck

38
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: where you are unless you decide to be, And so

39
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: I really resonated with this. And in regards to fear,

40
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: we may feel fear, but we can choose if it

41
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: consumes us or if it doesn't. So something I constantly

42
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: have to remind myself is, like I said, like we

43
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: have a choice, and we get to decide who we

44
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: show up, who we want to be, and what we

45
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: want to do. So a lot of you would know

46
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: my story with leaving my corporate career and starting something new,

47
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: but I'm just going to go into a little bit.

48
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: So I did my law degree, I finished that. I

49
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: then while I was doing my law degree, I got

50
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: this amazing job at a good mid tier firm in

51
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: the city. I worked there and I was starting out

52
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: as a law clerk, and then I end up getting

53
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: a graduate position and I did my pot through them.

54
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: It was amazing. They paid for it like a really

55
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: amazing opportunity, and basically at the end of it, you

56
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: get a job in the firm. And I was doing

57
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: family law and I would had to transfer into a

58
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: different sort of law, which was fine. But also while

59
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: I was studying law and working corporate, I was doing

60
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: this side hustle of my Instagram and YouTube where I

61
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: was blogging and vlogging about what I loved doing. And

62
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: so a lot of that was health and fitness, and

63
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: a lot of it was mindset too, and so I

64
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: was doing the side hustle thing and the corporate thing,

65
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: and it kind of just got to the point where

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: I knew I couldn't do both. And so I was

67
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: at this crossroads where I either stayed in corporate, took

68
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: the job, did the job, and let go with my

69
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: side hustle. And that was obviously it's a very safe option.

70
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: And in regards to you can imagine what you know,

71
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: my parents or older people would have thought, is like,

72
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: of course, you're staying in corporate, You're staying in the

73
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: safe job. You're staying in the law job. But I

74
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: did have sparkly eyes for this side hustle, and I

75
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: didn't know where it would leave. Like what I was

76
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: doing in that moment wasn't what I wanted to do

77
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. But I just had

78
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: this really intuitive feeling that it's almost like niggling feeling

79
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: that I was supposed to do this, This was like

80
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: my right path. So I came to these crossroads, and

81
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: I had such fear around this decision because I'm very

82
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: logical absos he did a law degree, Like I love structure,

83
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: I love black and white, so logically I knew the

84
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, air quotes right decision was the law job.

85
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: But then intuitively, I had this really strong feeling towards

86
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: this other thing, this side hustle, which was very murky

87
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: and I didn't really know what was happening with it,

88
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: but I just had this really strong feeling. And the

89
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: only reason for not doing the second option was because

90
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: I had fear around what would others think of me?

91
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: I had fear around like, you know, where can this

92
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: even lead? What even happens here? I should take the

93
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: safe option, you know, the option where I'll know I'll

94
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: be able to provide for my family that's you know,

95
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: recognized by social standards as a real job, and just

96
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: the fear of the unknown, like what's going to happen?

97
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: And so that was the biggest crossroads and the biggest

98
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: fear choice and decision in my life. And looking back,

99
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: I'm just so glad the decision I made because of

100
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: what has followed by following my intuition, really not letting

101
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: that fear consume me and having faith that, you know,

102
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: things were going to work out. And if I really

103
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: followed my true authentic self and really what felt aligned,

104
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: then everything was going to be okay, and so I

105
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: just wanted to go through some stuff kind of some

106
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: like tools. You guys know, I love my tools and

107
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: my practices that I do when there is this big

108
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: decision and I am facing a lot of fear and

109
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: how I sort of work through it because I know

110
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: firsthand how difficult it can be. So the first thing

111
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: I want to chat about and all these exercises I

112
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: will usually do in a journal. I'm really into like

113
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: writing things down and getting them out on paper, because

114
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: often when thoughts are just swirling up in your head,

115
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: they feel a lot bigger, and they feel just like

116
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: kind of harder, and I find like putting things on

117
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: paper and then rereading them, they can become a lot

118
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: easier or clearer, or you read it and you're like, oh,

119
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: it's actually not that bad, or I shouldn't be so fearful.

120
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: So highly recommend getting out a notepad and pen and

121
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: maybe just write down these questions and then you can

122
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: journal later or whatever you want to do. So Number

123
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: one tool is I asked myself, like, how will I

124
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: feel if I don't make this step, if I don't

125
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: make this choice, how will I feel? This is a

126
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: lot to do with the feeling of regret, because even

127
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: though fear is a really big feeling that can keep

128
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: us stuck, for me, especially with my decision to leave

129
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: corporate life, was around the feeling of regret. And it's

130
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: funny I actually read it. I think I heard it

131
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: in a podcast about this study where they interviewed all

132
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: these people who were on their deathbed quite literally, and

133
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: they asked them what is like one thing they wish

134
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: they had done or what would they change in their life?

135
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: And most of the people talked about things they wish

136
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: they would have done, So they didn't talk about, oh,

137
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: it was so great I stayed in my corporate job

138
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: and did the safe option. They really talked about the

139
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: things that they wish they had done. And that's what

140
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean in regards to I think regret is this

141
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: really big feeling, and so you kind of need to

142
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: sit in the feeling of Okay, here are the options.

143
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: How will I feel if I don't take option A?

144
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: And how will I feel if I don't take Option B?

145
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: And personally, for me, I knew, you know, I had

146
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: finished my law degree. I knew I could always go back,

147
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, I might not have that job waiting for me.

148
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: But it was still an entry level job. And you know,

149
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: I knew I had the wits about me that I

150
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: could find another Whereas if I didn't do this other thing,

151
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: the side hustle thing, which I didn't really know where

152
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: it would lead, That's the thing. I didn't know where

153
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: it would leave. I didn't know what would happen, and

154
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: I just knew that I would have so much regret

155
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: around that. So for me, the regret was a lot

156
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: stronger than the fear, and that's the reason why I

157
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: chose the second option. This podcast is brought to you

158
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: by Naked Harvest Supplements, a female first, vegan or natural

159

Speaker 1: supplement brand. Their all natural pre workout plus batburning blend

00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: unique as it will enhance your mood, give you the

162
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: energy you need to conquer your workout, but without the

163
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: jitters and crash that usual pre workouts give you. I

164
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: personally used this pre workout every single day, fifteen minutes

165
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: before my workout and generally love it. I could not

166
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: recommend it enough, but don't take it for me. Here's

167
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: a testimonial from a real life customer. Candice says, I

168
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: stopped taking pre workout six months ago due to the

169
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: effects it had on my nervous system and the side

170
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: effects of the added nasties. I first tried the Naked

171
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: Harvest supplement this morning, and so far I am loving it.

172
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: It's been four hours and I have not experienced a

173
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: crash of any kind, and I had so much energy

174
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: during my workout. I cannot wait to continue using it.

175
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: If you also need some natural energy for your workout,

176
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: but without the crash, try Naked Harvest Supplements. The Rise

182
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: straight back into the episode. So another tool or practice

183
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: you can do is think about the worst case scenario.

184
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: So with me, I had this second option, the side hustle.

185
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know what was going to happen, where it

186
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: would lead, and that's how I guess a lot of

187
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: you would feel in regards to your next steps. And

188
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: so I put myself in the worst case scenario of

189
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: what would happen if I did this side hushole thing,

190
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: if I took the leap, what would happen? And the

191
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: worst case scenario for me was I would go back

192
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: to law, I'd go back to a corporate job. And

193
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: then it kind of struck me that I was already

194
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: in my worst case scenario. So I was already in

195
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: that corporate law job, which if I didn't take the

196
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: second option, I would be in. But basically, think of

197
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario if you don't take this next step,

198
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: if you don't chase this dream, and if you're like

199
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: already in it, then what have you got to lose?

200
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: And that's what I realized. I thought, what if I

201
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: got to lose? Like, and I know in some circumstances

202
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: you may have a lot to lose, but really thinking

203
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: about what is the worst case scenario? And also I

204
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: kind of got okay with the worst case scenario, so

205
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I was like, look, I can leave this really safe,

206
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: amazing job and I can do this side hustle and

207
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: really just find out what's happened. If I fail, I

208
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: come back to this current position. And I was okay

209
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: with that. So I think, once you get okay with

210
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: a worst case scenario, you almost like the fear disappears,

211
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: and that kind of happened. I'm going to tell you

212
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: a story when we started Naked Harvest, me and my

213
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: brother Cooper, So we were talking about this worst case

214
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: scenario of starting Naked Harvest, and we did both have

215
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: to put in a lot of money at the start

216
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: because Naked Harvest is completely funded and built by ourselves.

217
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: We didn't get any loans or any people supporting us.

218
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: And so me and Cooper spoke about this and he

219
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: was like, worst case scenario is I have to sell

220
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: my house and he was like, I'm okay with that,

221
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: and it's it's so true, Like he was like, look,

222
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: if I have to do that, you know to do

223
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: this company because he believed in it so much. He's like,

224
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm happy to do that, and I love that. I'm

225
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: just thinking back and having a laugh. Sorry, getting back

226
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: to it. So really like, sit in what is the

227
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: worst case scenario? And then another thing to do And

228
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: this is a really cool thing to do. And I

229
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: love sitting in feelings. So sit in the feeling of

230
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: what happens if you take this next step, if you

231
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: chase the dream, and if you succeed, sit in that

232
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: feeling right now, and then ask yourself if it is

233
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: worth foregoing that feeling. You know, if you're going to

234
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: have regret if you don't get to that feeling. And

235
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily about being successful, but it's about having

236
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: the knowledge that you tried. So for me, it was

237
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: really important that I didn't care too much about being unsuccessful,

238
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: but I did really care about if I didn't even

239
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: try in the first place. So they are two really

240
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: easy tools you can use. And then another thing I

241
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: just wanted to touch on is you know, if you are

242
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: currently chasing this dream or there is this big next step,

243
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: be prepared, don't overdo it. So personally, before I went

244
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,479
Speaker 1: off by myself, did my side hustle, started this podcast,

245
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: started Naked Harvest. I definitely tried to prepare myself in

246
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: ways like I actually got a business coach. I've taken

247
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: courses in the past, like I took like an online

248
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: course of how to start a podcast to start my podcast.

249
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: I have had mentors, I've read so much books. You

250
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: guys know I love my books. I actually was wondering

251
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: if you guys want me to do a segment on

252
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: here where I literally just go through you know, like

253
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: my five favorite books, my five favorite podcasts, my five

254
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: favorite like resources that have got me to where I

255
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: am today that I have found really impactful. If you

256
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: guys want that, definitely let me know. And so I've

257
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: listened obviously to a lot of podcasts, and so it's

258
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: great to be prepared. But something that I do often

259
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: find is people, and I've done this myself, guys, is

260
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: people will constantly like consume this knowledge of what to do,

261
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: but to the point where they won't actually take the

262
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: first step. So they'll just constantly think, oh, I just

263
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: need a bit more knowledge about podcasts before I start

264
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: a podcast, and they'll go listen to, you know, eight

265
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: more podcasts on how to start a podcast or buy

266
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: the next course. So it's important to be prepared in

267
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: this next step, but I think you need to realize

268
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: that honestly, like no one really knows what they're doing,

269
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: and it's more important to actually take the small action.

270
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: And something that I've realized in regards to consuming resources,

271
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: podcast books, when you start to hear the same things

272
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: over and over again, this is a sign that you

273
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: need to stop consuming. You need to stop listening to

274
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: the podcast. Stop you know, reading the books, and you

275
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: need to take action because you're never going to feel ready.

276
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: Even now, when I look back at all the big

277
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: things that I've done or accomplished when I started them,

278
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: I did not feel ready for one thing, Like, not

279
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: one thing. When I started this podcast, I literally was like,

280
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is so amata, Like I just

281
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: like I was not ready at all. And even with

282
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: Naked Harvest, I thought what am I doing? Or like

283
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: leaving my corporate job like it, it never feels like,

284
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm ready to leave. Now I'm going

285
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: to leave. Everything's going to work out. It doesn't feel

286
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: like that. It feels fearful. But I've really learned to

287
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: lean into the discomfort, like lean into the fear, because

288
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: the reality is, you know, when you think of your

289
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: mentors or the people that you love and adore or

290
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: look up to who have done things that you want

291
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: to do or you know, like accomplish things that you

292
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: want to do, I guarantee you they did not feel

293
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: ready before they took that first small step towards that goal.

294
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Like it's really funny because it's like you want clarity,

295
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: you want to feel like, Okay, it's ready and then

296
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: I'll take the step. But clarity doesn't really come until

297
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: you take the step. And also you'll find that the

298
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: first step will be very messy and you will tweak

299
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: things and perfect things along the way. And so that's

300
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: why I always tell you guys, like, take messy, bold action,

301
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: because that's how you get somewhere. That's how you do something.

302
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: And also a big thing you need to realize is

303
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: no one is going to do this for you. No

304
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: one is going to be brave for you. When you

305
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: are facing fear around taking this next step or chasing

306
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: your dreams. You are the only person that has the

307
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: ability to take the next step to be brave. And

308
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: trust me when I say no one knows what they

309
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: are doing, like no one has all the answers, but

310
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: they throw themselves into it and they just yeah, they

311
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: get into it. And I think that's really what sets

312
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: people apart, and really sets the people doing pretty epic

313
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: stuff is they will take bold, messy action and they'll

314
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable, they'll be consistent, and they'll just kind of

315
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: figure it out. And I think you need to realize

316
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: that your journey is exactly that it is your journey,

317
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: so how you get to your next step, how you

318
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: see yourself in the future, Like, it's all up to

319
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: you and it is going to be so different to

320
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: everyone else. So don't get too called up in you know,

321
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: your first step looking like mine or looking like someone else.

322
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: Really lean into listening to your intuition, listening to yourself

323
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: and going from there. At the live podcast event, we

324
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: interviewed this amazing woman called Angela Carmen and she is

325
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: a consciousness coach. She has a real key healing too,

326
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: and we asked her, you know, how does someone know

327
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: how to listen to their intuition? And she said, your

328
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: intuition comes from your heart and your gut. So she said,

329
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: ask yourself the question and hold your heart and see

330
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: what the answer is from and really try and get

331
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: the answer from your heart, and then hold your gut

332
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: and ask the question again and really feel it in

333
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: your gut and heart, and you will either like she

334
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: was explaining that your body will really like feel into

335
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: it or reject it and listen to that instead of

336
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: listening to like the logical thoughts. And that's something I

337
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: constantly have to work on because I'm such a logical person.

338
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: And I'm really trying to get into my other side

339
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: of the brain. But yeah, and also relayze guys that

340
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: everything really takes time, and I know it kind of

341
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: it looks like there's these overnight success but you know,

342
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: like just to let you guys know. For example, I

343
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: obviously do sponsorships on Instagram, but I was blogging and

344
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: posting on Instagram and my blog for five years before

345
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: I even started to get paid. Same with YouTube, and

346
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: it was like a very small amount. So I don't

347
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: want to scare you or anything, but I'm just saying

348
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: things really do take time. But in the end, if

349
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: you are being intuitive and you are taking bold, aligned action,

350
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: that's when the goodness happens. But that is it. I

351
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: just really felt cooled to speak about this because I

352
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: know it is such a huge thing and fear can

353
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: really consume you, and it really upsets me because I

354
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: know that you guys have so much potential to really

355
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: chase after your dreams and like do the epic things

356
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: and really chase your goals. So I hope this helped

357
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: and I will see you in my next podcast. Thanks
