1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,719
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,199 --> 00:00:11,480
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,480
Hey Saro, this is vocal d frag. Vocal d fragging

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,000
is giving yourself the opportunity to sit down, take a walk,

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,480
maybe be alone. Please be alone when you do things

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,719
like this, because you don't need the eyes of others

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,320
to bring judgment upon your path. But vocal d fragging

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,399
is asking the questions and question and the answers. I

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,479
don't just vocal d frag. I also keep a d

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,200
frag journal because you can put as many words as

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,880
you want to into a tablet or a journal, and

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,399
you know what, you're not going to pick up on

14
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:43,640
the inflection, the volume, the tone, the pitch in the

15
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:46,799
days ahead. It doesn't work that way. What you're going

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,280
to do in your written word is you're going to

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,640
have your own interpretation and come up with your own conclusion.

18
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:57,200
But when you vocal dfrag inside your smartphone or some

19
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:00,399
other digital device, you get to go back and listen

20
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:04,319
to where you were in that moment. And it's not

21
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:06,280
that I'm saying that go back and live in your past,

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,000
go back and see what was given to you in

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,200
your moment of now, and study the path of where

24
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,920
you're growing. It's what it's all about, growing forward. This

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,680
is vocal d frag interesting subject came to me while

26
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:23,040
doing my journal this morning. There was a lot of

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,719
concentration put on what makes a person unique all their

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,040
own and so the question that I was asking was

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,280
doesn't that sound conceded when somebody makes something their own

30
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:36,200
and they believe that they're the only one that can

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,040
do it the way that they do it. And I said, no,

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200
that's not true at all. And this is what fell

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,920
from the writing instruments. You can't be me, I can't

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,640
be you, but somewhere in the middle we meet. You

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,079
can't be me, I can't be you, but somewhere in

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,680
the middle we'll meet. Being a broadcast instructors since nineteen

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,000
eighty eight, I remember those early days where all I

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,799
wanted to do was share my path, to show them

39
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,360
how I was up to replace Casey caseym on American

40
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:13,240
Top forty, to show them how to be number one

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,879
on a seven to midnight radio show. I was trying

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,439
to give them my path and then I realized who cares?

43
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:25,439
Really seriously, who cares? Why don't you just show them

44
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:28,240
how to use the tools and let them develop their

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,560
own journey. That was a wake up call for me

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,000
because everybody wants to share what might be their legacy,

47
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,639
but in reality, who's listening? Who really cares? Because if

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,159
you go into one of these lectures and you ask

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,479
them the question of why the hell are you here

50
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:50,960
and who are you? Why do you think you deserve

51
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,360
to be in a class to learn about these tools?

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,919
You can't be me, I can't be you, But somewhere

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,319
in the middle we're going to meet. My question for

54
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,680
you is what is it that you're trying to become

55
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:09,159
that makes you unique? Or have you settled in on

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,960
just being eh? I'm going to live life. You only

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
live once. I'm not trying to be anybody. I'm just

58
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,560
going to be me. Well, even if you're going to

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,719
be a bump on the log, is there going to

60
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:20,360
be another bump on the log that looks like you,

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,439
sounds like you, does things like you. I work with

62
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:26,919
hard working people, and I also work with some very

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840
lazy people. I work with people that are so set

64
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:31,840
in their way that if you ask them to do something,

65
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:34,000
they'll look at you and say, yeah, I'll get around

66
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:36,840
to it. I don't want to be that person, but

67
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,400
I'd love to be that one person though that helps

68
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:42,919
inspire someone to say I can't do what he does,

69
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,759
but maybe I can be influenced to start picking up

70
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,560
on my own life. Sure, it hurts me when people

71
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:53,879
talk of these radio legends. Oh my god, this person

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,759
was one of the greatest of all time. And then

73
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,639
when you get up into the generation that you were

74
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:00,639
part of, it could be the same thing your business.

75
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:02,639
You could be a banker, you could be a manager

76
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,159
at a grocery store, you could be a school teacher.

77
00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:09,759
And you're inspired by all of these people, but nobody

78
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:13,520
ever speaks about the hard work, dedication, and loyalty that

79
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,480
you put into your own path. You can't be me,

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,240
I can't be you. But somewhere in the middle we're

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,240
going to meet what is going on in your personal life?

82
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:25,519
Where do you want to be but you feel like

83
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,959
you can't be You stopped relying on your own personal

84
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,879
visions to accomplish what it is that you were called

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,600
to do. So many people always tell me, I don't

86
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:37,920
know what my calling is I don't know what my

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,439
purpose is. Well, you're probably doing it. You just don't

88
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:43,879
recognize it because nobody has sat down with you and said, hey,

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,600
this is the plan, this has been the process. If

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,560
you were to just accept your journey as it is,

91
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,600
then you can start growing. Because once you see the

92
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:56,000
full truth right there in front of you, what have

93
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:59,959
you got next? A step, a step backwards, a step

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,120
forward to the side. Wherever you're going to go, you're

95
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,120
always going to have a step. I didn't instantly become

96
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,639
a third degree black belt, nor did I ever think

97
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,360
that being a martial artist as such a stature would

98
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:14,879
affect me as an adult in the way of reaching

99
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,759
out and not letting little things get in my way.

100
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,079
But what happens when you do have those days when

101
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,279
the little things become big storms, giant cloud bursts in

102
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:31,439
your heart and your soul. You stop, You ask questions,

103
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,800
you question answers. You have to learn how to believe

104
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,879
in the self that you are and not the self

105
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:43,560
a barber down the street or Michael up the road. See,

106
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,040
everybody's always watching everybody else. We want to be just

107
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:50,079
like them. How many people want it to be just

108
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:54,079
like Michael Jordan. You can't be Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan

109
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:55,800
can't be the Michael Jordan that he used to be.

110
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:00,160
You can't be me. I can't be you. But in

111
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,319
the middle we're going to meet, sit down and ask

112
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:09,879
yourself the question where are you? I had that question

113
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,399
with my wife yesterday and she goes, where do you

114
00:06:12,399 --> 00:06:16,519
think we are? Hold On, I didn't say where are we?

115
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,399
I said where are you? And in your moment of privacy,

116
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:25,240
that's where I want you to search your heart. That's

117
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,399
where I want you to say, this is where I am,

118
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:32,439
This is who I am, this is where I need

119
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,920
to grow. It can't come from the outside influences because

120
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:39,480
every one of us outside of your body. We're going

121
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,199
to give you an answer, and then your next decision

122
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,759
is what we determined. You need to find your own path,

123
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,600
have the confidence of the courage of being strong enough

124
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,120
to say, I am me. You can't be me, I

125
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,959
can't be you. But somewhere in the middle we're going

126
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,759
to meet. I'm Eryl vocal d freg
