00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the experiment. Simple questions for one hundred people.

2
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm Bill Correl, and this is my investigation, my research

3
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>project to gather data from one hundred beautiful human beings

4
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>for the sole purpose to see what actually happens across

5
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the interviews. Questions are all fixed and the interviews will

6
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>remain consistent with the variable being the actual participants themselves

7
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 1>and their answers. It's as if I'm having you, Luke,

8
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.119
<v Speaker 1>come sit on my porch to share your thoughts, so

9
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>I can learn about people looking forward to what we're

10
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>going to learn when we're done, if anything, but we're

11
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>also very interested in the folks in the process and

12
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>in your particular story. So it's my distinct pleasure to

13
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>introduce my guests. Well, how about I let you do

14
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 1>it for me. What is your full name?

15
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.439
<v Speaker 2>My full name is Luke Dominant.

16
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Luke Dominant. That's really cool. Say that last name again.

17
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>The way it rolls off your tongue is like butter.

18
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>My it from my dad, Dad started her family. And

19
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the way I always like to say it or he

20
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>likes to shay it a felt usual way, which if

21
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 2>you're not familiar with the German uh throwing language. It's

22
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of confusion, you know, a couple of times

23
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 2>sometimes people want to throw in with an R or

24
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>jay because they think it's when jumping, but it's actually

25
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>just a dee at the end of it. So it's

26
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 2>actually kind of just kind of a comical side of.

27
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Life in general, because I'm sure we could have a

28
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>discussion for hours just on that one word, and it's

29
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, the etymology of where did it come from?

30
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 1>How did it get here? Yes, so it's it's a

31
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 1>great it's a great name. I mean your middle name again, But.

32
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 2>So my middle name is dominant and I actually got

33
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 2>that from my grandfather, who unfortunately is no longer wish

34
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>that she was very he's a very good man and

35
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 2>he's very inspirational to me. And uh, I never really

36
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I never really felt like I got to know him

37
00:02:53.639 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>as much as I should have. And it's what you get.

38
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Even though he's no longer wish to us get, I

39
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>still think about him quite a lot. So it's kind

40
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>of how it is.

41
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Loved ones, I'm sorry for you, and he's still with you. Yes, So, Luke,

42
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>what's your favorite nickname that most people don't know?

43
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 2>So I honestly, don't think I have one. It's always

44
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 2>been Luke for me. I'm blessed that I have in

45
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 2>it or in the middle name of Dominic because of

46
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>my grandfather. But I never really considered asking somebody to

47
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>call me Dominic. So, I mean, now that I know

48
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 2>what's an option, it's just something that I've never really

49
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>thought about.

50
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So, and no family members have a pet name

51
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>for you.

52
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean within the family, you know, it's usually Buddy

53
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 2>or Bubba or you know, stuff like that. But you know,

54
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>out in public, it's kind of Luke or a are

55
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 2>you man? Nothing nothing really, I don't gift like Buddy,

56
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 2>but every once in a while it's like I have

57
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 2>an actual name.

58
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>So if they know that, then I'm sure that that

59
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 1>they're going to stay on track for you, unless they're

60
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to either make points or take points right. Yes, yeah,

61
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:44.319
<v Speaker 1>so when did you first notice what color hair you had?

62
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's difficult for me because I had a had

63
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 2>a difficult childhood dealing with two types of cancer y

64
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 2>I uh. I am a proud survivor of neuroblack doma

65
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and I was diagnosed with that at four months old

66
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>and a proud survivor of Leukemiah did I was diagnosed

67
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 2>with at seven years old. So if I if I

68
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 2>take into account what age I really know, if my

69
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>hair color, it would probably be between the ages of

70
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>three and five. But also with the treatment and all

71
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>that nonsense, a lot of the time I involved because

72
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>my hair would fall out. So yeah, I would say

73
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 2>between three and five.

74
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm really pleased to hear you know that you

75
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 1>say proud survivor, because there are variations on the theme,

76
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and some are not so proud, Some never recover, and

77
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 1>it's one hell of a psychological challenge for most people

78
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>to go through dealing with something they can't see, you know.

79
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 1>And I really think I've had a couple of My goddaughter,

80
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>as a matter of fact, went through It was about

81
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>about two and a half years long. The treatment process

82
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that she went through and the you know, harvesting of

83
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 1>T cells and all the rest of that sort of thing,

84
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>and being isolated from the rest of the family, especially

85
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 1>for two daughters, That in and of itself is grueling,

86
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>let alone the surgeries and other things that go along

87
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>with it. So God bless you, and you are a

88
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 1>proud survivor, and thank you for sharing that with us.

89
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate that. So what's your favorite thing to

90
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.519
<v Speaker 1>do to intentionally waste time?

91
00:06:54.600 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Luke so ask. It's interesting you're aft kind of thought

92
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>about it and what as amazing as modern technology, it's

93
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>also horrible to think about what it's actually doing to

94
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>our bodies because and I know the sheep bad for me,

95
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:26.319
<v Speaker 2>but at the same time, it's kind of programmed within

96
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>me to just was not intentionally waste time during the day,

97
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 2>but by wasting time, I'm on my phone constantly for

98
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.600
<v Speaker 2>at least three to six collargy a day, which did

99
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>not seem it. It's not healthy and doesn't seem healthy.

100
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 2>But unfortunately there's more. I know that there's more that

101
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>we can do because we essentially have a computer in

102
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>our hand, but we don't always take into account that

103
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>we can actually do something from our phone. So so

104
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 2>most of the time I'm just playing games, watching TV

105
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>or being watching TV shows and movies because it's like,

106
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm not supposed to, but there's just a

107
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit of satisfaction from it. It's not always worth it,

108
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>but it's you know, every once in a while you

109
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 2>need it.

110
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a particular kind of show that you

111
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 1>like to watch for a particular kind of.

112
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Movie, mostly sci fi and kind of community because a bigger,

113
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.159
<v Speaker 2>bigger topic they don't want to touch upon it that

114
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I feel like most of this stuff like Community, truck

115
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>in Friendship even missed a lot in the world right now,

116
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:14.759
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of people feel alone, which when you

117
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 2>feel alone, lead to depression and just being mentally and

118
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 2>physically unstable.

119
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I think the statistics bear out exactly

120
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying, you know, the people who are numbing themselves,

121
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, through through some sort of mechanism or alcohol

122
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 1>or drugs or something of that nature. It's probably the

123
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>highest it's ever been, and it's pretty easy to access,

124
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and obviously people are not careful about it as evidence

125
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>the number of fentanyl deaths that we that we are

126
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 1>experiencing on a weekly bad basis, and all of that

127
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 1>can be exacerbated by what you see in movies and

128
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 1>on TV. But at the same time, I bet you

129
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 1>there is a go to movie that you've got that

130
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you've probably watched a bunch of times if you're if

131
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>you're like many people, what is your your favorite movie

132
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to watch alone?

133
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Sort of one that I actually watched recently with the

134
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Greatest Showman because it shows it shows how people can

135
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 2>come from humble beginning and find people a long way

136
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 2>to basically make their new family that they never had. So,

137
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>like I was saying, it's up with and it's show community,

138
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>and it shows trust, and that's what that's what life

139
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 2>should be a built. But most people don't understand what

140
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:57.679
<v Speaker 2>it takes. Two. Most people are in a most people

141
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.159
<v Speaker 2>want to be in a win win situation, but I

142
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 2>feel like a lot of people are in wind lose yes,

143
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 2>meaning that they put them jilves out there to win

144
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.679
<v Speaker 2>just for them killed, and they don't think about the

145
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:11.399
<v Speaker 2>bigger picture.

146
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.720
<v Speaker 1>So diving in, I like what you're you're kind of

147
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 1>weaving together here. We look at the P. T. Barnum

148
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 1>story and especially how the you know that that movie

149
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 1>and it's used of popular music and just a wonderful,

150
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>uplifting sort of a thing with ups and downs, and

151
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>what what is it about that that really kind of

152
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>appeals to you.

153
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the fact that even though it's a movie,

154
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>it feels like real life. The idea itself can actually happen,

155
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and when it does, it just makes everything it makes

156
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>everything complete, and it also gives everybody hope that there's

157
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 2>more to look for in life, because you know, I'm

158
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 2>sure at moments when in people's professional lives, when they

159
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.200
<v Speaker 2>became part of re surface was just challenging for them

160
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 2>because they're like, Oh, I have this extraordinary ability, but

161
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 2>nobody in the real world really achieved me for what

162
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I am. So maybe your surface you're a good way

163
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.759
<v Speaker 2>to kind of distract myself and also grow close with

164
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 2>people who have shame or different abilities like mine.

165
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So, yeah, do you want to say some more

166
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>about that?

167
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:52.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would say that in this world, in

168
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>the world we live in right now, that's not taken

169
00:12:55.039 --> 00:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>into account and people are just really mean about it.

170
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Not not not that they're trying to be mean about it,

171
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:12.759
<v Speaker 2>it's just every experience that person has can either make

172
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:19.279
<v Speaker 2>or break them. So it depends. It's kind of like

173
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:27.200
<v Speaker 2>two elements at play. That person who's being either talked down,

174
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>talk down to, or talked up to can either choose

175
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>to go above it or go below it. And if

176
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:40.559
<v Speaker 2>they go below it, they you know, fall into depression

177
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:47.679
<v Speaker 2>or just jadness or basically not knowing who they are,

178
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:53.039
<v Speaker 2>or they go and if they're talked up to, they

179
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:58.360
<v Speaker 2>can really create their own story.

180
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's amazing what can come from just conversation and language.

181
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it correct?

182
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Correct?

183
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I think you and I both would agree that

184
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.879
<v Speaker 1>our future comes out of our mouth every day.

185
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

186
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.879
<v Speaker 1>No, And it sounds to me like you've done some

187
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:15.639
<v Speaker 1>real study in this area.

188
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've done. I've done from research recently in the

189
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:25.120
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years to just kind of really figure

190
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>out what it means to heal. Yeah, because a lot

191
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 2>of people I think are distracted by issues on the surfish. Yeah,

192
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 2>and what they really need to focus on age getting

193
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to the root cause of why they're feeling a certain way.

194
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.960
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and sometimes in the quest of why that

195
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>that's never answered, there's something else that's tripped over that

196
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>actually brings some relief and some healing.

197
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 2>I agree.

198
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So all right, this is really cool. If you

199
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>were to have an action figure made of you, Luke,

200
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>what superpower would it have and what colors would its

201
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>uniform be?

202
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>So I would say tall, strong, trustworthy, and people and

203
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:24.080
<v Speaker 2>a power would be they would have the ability to

204
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 2>kind of read people thought from a distance and just

205
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:32.759
<v Speaker 2>in a warm and inviting way, kind of like did

206
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that distant friend that you once had who would always

207
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.559
<v Speaker 2>take the time to listen to you and care for

208
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 2>you because they know you're suffering and they want you

209
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to just take the take the time to really just

210
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:59.039
<v Speaker 2>either pour out or relax all those pent up emotion

211
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:07.320
<v Speaker 2>that even feeling for anywhere from five to thirty years.

212
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.039
<v Speaker 1>Well said, and there is nobody who gets through this

213
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:16.159
<v Speaker 1>existence without going through that. This is, I think, what

214
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 1>is fundamental to being human, and we mostly don't recognize

215
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:24.879
<v Speaker 1>that very much in our culture either, do we. So

216
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:29.639
<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate your choice of superpowers for this wonderful

217
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:35.360
<v Speaker 1>action figure. And what colors? Would the uniform be?

218
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Black and white? For sure? Because everything in wit which

219
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:46.639
<v Speaker 2>is black and white, meaning that it wouldn't be darkness

220
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.080
<v Speaker 2>or there wouldn't be white. It wouldn't be white without

221
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 2>dark witch right, So black, white, and then purple. I

222
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:02.799
<v Speaker 2>don't necessarily know where the purple came from, because the

223
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:07.519
<v Speaker 2>combination of black and white would be gray. When I said, oh,

224
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.559
<v Speaker 2>that'd be kind of dull. So I guess the purple

225
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:20.559
<v Speaker 2>is a spiritual side of our existance, which, unless unless

226
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 2>you're begin to Western medicine and Western practice. I don't

227
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people really understand the power of

228
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:37.720
<v Speaker 2>spirit or spiritual practice, not so much religion, just because

229
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you can practice spiritualism without being religious,

230
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 2>but that that first point in my belief. But I'm

231
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.920
<v Speaker 2>not going to shoot down I'm not going to shoot

232
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 2>down anybody who has a preference to practice spiritually which religion.

233
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:06.359
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, yeah, I particularly love that it resonates with

234
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of work that I've been doing lately

235
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>that got kind of kicked off by a meme with

236
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>a Buddhist monk saying that people erroneously label Buddhism as

237
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a religion, and it's not. It is a spiritual practice,

238
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's all about the you know, knowing the self.

239
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:31.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not necessarily to connect with any particular you know,

240
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>higher power or supreme being other than the fact that

241
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.319
<v Speaker 1>we're all part of everything, We're all part of the

242
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>all in all, and not a religion. But most people

243
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>do consider it to be one of the top four

244
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.160
<v Speaker 1>or five religions in the world. And I see it

245
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>be you know, in print all the time. So it's

246
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a remarkable thing to be able to listen to

247
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:58.079
<v Speaker 1>a teacher and not have to believe what they say.

248
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>That's the core of Buddhism. You know, it doesn't matter

249
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.359
<v Speaker 1>what it means to me. What matters is what does

250
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:07.440
<v Speaker 1>it mean to you? You know?

251
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Well that's the other thing. It really has caught my

252
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:18.880
<v Speaker 2>eye recently, it did you know? It's people are like, oh,

253
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I have IF problem and IF problem and if problem

254
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:30.200
<v Speaker 2>and that problem, and although there are solutions, what makes

255
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.680
<v Speaker 2>you and me different? They get we're unique? Where unique

256
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:41.319
<v Speaker 2>human being? No two human beings are waiting or ejaction,

257
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.400
<v Speaker 2>even twins. It looked different on the outside, but that

258
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean any shame on the inside.

259
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, job, Yeah, I completely concur and I have nieces

260
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.039
<v Speaker 1>and nephews, a set of twins and a set of

261
00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 1>troublets and boys. They get older, they could not be

262
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:01.880
<v Speaker 1>more different. But when they were five, six and seven,

263
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.920
<v Speaker 1>it was hard to tell them apart. Yes, and they

264
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.440
<v Speaker 1>would do the you know, the parent trap stuff every

265
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 1>once in a while where they act like they were

266
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the other one and just to confuse people. So now

267
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.519
<v Speaker 1>we'll go set the way back machine. Sherman, what did

268
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you want to grow up to be when you were

269
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:20.839
<v Speaker 1>five years old?

270
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:29.920
<v Speaker 2>So at the time, I was preoccupied with just healing

271
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.720
<v Speaker 2>and processing wire fresh a five year old because I

272
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.759
<v Speaker 2>was just like I went to one, I came back alive.

273
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Nothing else really matters right now. So you know, I

274
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know if I necessarily took the time to really

275
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:55.079
<v Speaker 2>be a kid because my mind was always kind of

276
00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:00.160
<v Speaker 2>blocking out part of it. Yeah, because if you like,

277
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.440
<v Speaker 2>that was all that was all I knew how to do.

278
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.319
<v Speaker 2>It was protecting me from some of the stuff that

279
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 2>I probably don't want to remember. However, if I was,

280
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:21.960
<v Speaker 2>if I was given the opportunity, I probably want to

281
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.359
<v Speaker 2>be a hockey player. There you go, my my favorite

282
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.240
<v Speaker 2>sport when I was younger.

283
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Because they're tall and brave, aren't they. Yes, yes, good

284
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:38.079
<v Speaker 1>for you. Have you watched much live hockey by the way.

285
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, I'm a huge I'm a huge NHL fan.

286
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Huh yep, I was picking that up non verbally from you.

287
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there are as far as most people are concerned,

288
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:58.400
<v Speaker 1>there are only two h two teams in the in

289
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the n h L, you know, and then one the

290
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Rangers and the other ones the Bruins.

291
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:09.160
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, Deva they've expanded, Dava. They've come from the

292
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:13.200
<v Speaker 2>original Kick to now being thirty two teams in the NHL.

293
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing the money goes into sports, isn't it.

294
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

295
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, So hockey player, do you have a

296
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:26.119
<v Speaker 1>preference for where you would be?

297
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:35.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's actually your funny story. So I didn't start

298
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.279
<v Speaker 2>playing ice hockey until I was about twelve, and I

299
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:45.559
<v Speaker 2>joined a special hockey league because of my size. I

300
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:52.400
<v Speaker 2>was only forty forty nine inches maybe forty nine inches tall,

301
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:58.759
<v Speaker 2>so I couldn't necessarily be in a on a high

302
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:02.279
<v Speaker 2>school hockey team. I could just go out and gate

303
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>and uh, you know, kind of meat uh, kind of

304
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:17.799
<v Speaker 2>meet some more uh, some more people who were dealing

305
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:27.079
<v Speaker 2>with a whole variety of health issues from authors, autism

306
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:36.079
<v Speaker 2>to teasures too, just you know, being mentally unstable. And

307
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 2>it was it was an eye opening experience to shoot at.

308
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Although everybody had different health issues. It was community. It

309
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 2>made it feel that much bigger because you give that,

310
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:04.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, I personally I never developed any friendships whenever

311
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 2>playing with them, but it would get cool to seat

312
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:13.799
<v Speaker 2>it even though a lot of them had health issues,

313
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:17.480
<v Speaker 2>that they could come together as community and be part

314
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 2>of something bigger.

315
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Still, that's a whole different breed of wonderfulness, isn't it? Yes,

316
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.519
<v Speaker 1>it is good for you, and it's it's really an

317
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>uplifting thing to know that it's out there and available

318
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.359
<v Speaker 1>to people. And if there were somebody who was in

319
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.640
<v Speaker 1>your situation where they're probably not going to be competitive

320
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:40.799
<v Speaker 1>with with kids their age because of different reasons, how

321
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:42.799
<v Speaker 1>did you get in touch with these folks? And and

322
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 1>is it something that's typically available in most areas or

323
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.160
<v Speaker 1>just you were you lucky that there was some some

324
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>around you.

325
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So there's a program and work on called their Devil

326
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and they way out of they called it there Devils

327
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.079
<v Speaker 2>because the actual New Jersey Devils used to practice there

328
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:13.519
<v Speaker 2>and the yeah Cody Cody Mountain Arena or something like

329
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>that in West Orange, And uh, that was the first

330
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:24.200
<v Speaker 2>group I got involved in. And then I mean they

331
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:27.119
<v Speaker 2>really took off from the time that I was there

332
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 2>to the time that I was playing with a forward

333
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:35.119
<v Speaker 2>group out of uh the ice House and hacking Jack

334
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:41.160
<v Speaker 2>called the Avalanche, and you know, I'd gone to a

335
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:48.319
<v Speaker 2>couple of tournaments and uh, it gets, it gets. The

336
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>numbers grew so much they have to have like three

337
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 2>or four games. They add like three or four games

338
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:57.680
<v Speaker 2>because of how many kicks they have.

339
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 1>That's fantastic.

340
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Yes, at far position I started, I started on offense

341
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:16.039
<v Speaker 2>er you're not familiar with hockey, to the jenner or

342
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:20.319
<v Speaker 2>the right wing and the left wing. I would start

343
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:24.400
<v Speaker 2>like one of the wingers. Then I dropped back to

344
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 2>defense industries over a couple of years, and then funny enough,

345
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I started playing the position my dad played when he

346
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 2>was playing hockey, which was goalie, which is in it

347
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.200
<v Speaker 2>of itself, is a tough position to play, but it's

348
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:48.400
<v Speaker 2>so much fun to keep you either flop and completely

349
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 2>mixed the balk sometimes I know, or you know, make

350
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:58.119
<v Speaker 2>a really good shave. But funny story about my dad

351
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and how he got to play got to play in

352
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:09.440
<v Speaker 2>goalie in the sport itself was he went out. He

353
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>went out one day and uh said, you know, I'm

354
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna go play hockey, and I think it was, you know,

355
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:21.440
<v Speaker 2>probably do some ball and dick at the time. And uh,

356
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.599
<v Speaker 2>he came back and he's and he had his front

357
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:30.559
<v Speaker 2>teeth knocked out. So he gets he gets back home

358
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and then he shaked you, and he shaked to his mom, Hey,

359
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.839
<v Speaker 2>I got my front teeth knocked out and she said, well,

360
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:39.960
<v Speaker 2>you gotta learn how to put you got to form

361
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.160
<v Speaker 2>a position where you're wearing a helmet. And he goes,

362
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the only position in hockey where you wear a helmet

363
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:50.039
<v Speaker 2>a goaltender, and she goes, well, you got to learn

364
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:55.440
<v Speaker 2>how to play goalie. S So, uh, he learned how

365
00:27:55.480 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 2>to play goalie, and then I guess he to a

366
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 2>break from playing goalie or decided to go out and

367
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 2>fry out for a team. And again, you know, it's

368
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.319
<v Speaker 2>the same story where you're going, Uh, I'm going to

369
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.519
<v Speaker 2>try out for the hockey team. Yeah, and uh, money

370
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Shape will make sure you wear a helmet. And he's like,

371
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:24.200
<v Speaker 2>he's like, he's like, no, don't worry about it. What

372
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>are the chances are good? Happening twice and turn off.

373
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.880
<v Speaker 2>He he was in a petition way we to dick

374
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.160
<v Speaker 2>out the rolled off the shaft of sticks and hit

375
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>him in the mouth. Show for the second time. Uh

376
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 2>you gotta front knocked out.

377
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:46.839
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, how you you wouldn't be able to stand

378
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.680
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, not being able to have that same opportunity.

379
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, So I still have my I still have

380
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:58.680
<v Speaker 2>my original front teach intact. So that's one one thing

381
00:28:58.759 --> 00:28:59.599
<v Speaker 2>my dad, I can't have.

382
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:08.359
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of amazing. So I'm really appreciating this, this

383
00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>this interview.

384
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:11.039
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad, I am too, I'm you.

385
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:16.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm want to ask you know, what is your greatest accomplishment, Luke,

386
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:20.079
<v Speaker 1>what would you say, is is the thing that is

387
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 1>the greatest thing that you've been able to do?

388
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:30.119
<v Speaker 2>So my greatest accomplishment is being a proud survivor of

389
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:41.599
<v Speaker 2>cancer twice and it has it has proven to me

390
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 2>that even though life can be hard food not only me,

391
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:55.319
<v Speaker 2>my family, well it get People should know that life

392
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:58.480
<v Speaker 2>is really going to throw challenges at you. Yeah, but

393
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.240
<v Speaker 2>the one thing that they should keep in mind is

394
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:08.599
<v Speaker 2>taking taking the time to really process what's going on,

395
00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:15.279
<v Speaker 2>and you shining when it's a good time to push through.

396
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Because no matter what they get there going through, there's

397
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:24.000
<v Speaker 2>always light on the other side. There's always light on

398
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:27.240
<v Speaker 2>at the end of it, at the other end of

399
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:32.039
<v Speaker 2>the tunnel, and that unfortunately, a lot of people don't

400
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:38.079
<v Speaker 2>really think that way all the time and like, Okay,

401
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get through this. I'm gonna get through this.

402
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Really underneath, a hope is kind of running out because

403
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 2>they don't truly believe it, they'll be able to push

404
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.079
<v Speaker 2>through and get through whatever they're currently dealing with.

405
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's there's a lot of work that's going into

406
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:05.599
<v Speaker 1>the psychology of that. And I share your your your

407
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:09.240
<v Speaker 1>your choice of greatest accomplishment. I really agree you being

408
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:14.079
<v Speaker 1>here is uh, that's pretty damn cool. You know. So

409
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:17.519
<v Speaker 1>who's your favorite person to listen to?

410
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:26.519
<v Speaker 2>So my uh, I don't have one person. I think

411
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:32.440
<v Speaker 2>it's more of a variety. So that with includes doctor

412
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Godfena because she doesn't want to work with this energy

413
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:42.519
<v Speaker 2>and how you're connecting your energy to your manifestations or

414
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 2>thought profits because the one thing that I learned from

415
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 2>him is your dought becomes your actions, your actions become

416
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 2>everything else. And if you're thinking in a you doing

417
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:02.640
<v Speaker 2>negative way or positive way or even optimistic way, it's

418
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>not always going to go your way, but it's the

419
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 2>fact that you took your time to really consider what

420
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:16.839
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking on a day to day basis. Another one

421
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.440
<v Speaker 2>is mel Robbins, just because every once in a while

422
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.359
<v Speaker 2>you'll have an interesting video that will make me you

423
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:33.279
<v Speaker 2>to write something down for myself personally because it affected

424
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:39.319
<v Speaker 2>me in a good way. The guy brought the name

425
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>of Jay Shetty. He actually has an interesting story. When

426
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 2>he was I think he Shetty was eighteen years old,

427
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:58.119
<v Speaker 2>he dropped out of college. I think it was either

428
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.079
<v Speaker 2>he dropped out of either I went to high school

429
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and he went and became a monk. He was big

430
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.920
<v Speaker 2>a monk for a couple of years, and when he

431
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>got back to the modern world, he was like, well,

432
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:18.119
<v Speaker 2>everybody's really distracted not just by you know, what they're

433
00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:20.960
<v Speaker 2>doing on their day to day life, but also, like

434
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, before, modern technology. Yeah, do you part what?

435
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 2>He has a podcast called Diary with CEO, and he

436
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.880
<v Speaker 2>actually wrote the book before he wrote the book Diary

437
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:43.880
<v Speaker 2>with Ceo before starting a podcast. And then the last one,

438
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:52.599
<v Speaker 2>the last person I listened to, Age Vision Lakiani. He's

439
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:57.839
<v Speaker 2>the owner of Mine Valley, and I like to kind

440
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:01.680
<v Speaker 2>of switch it up every now and then because each

441
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:04.200
<v Speaker 2>each of them will affect me in a different way,

442
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 2>like something I didn't see before. Mm hmm. So I

443
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:14.239
<v Speaker 2>wish him to Doctor Joe, and he was he had

444
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:18.119
<v Speaker 2>to say about something, and I'll get another person perspective

445
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:22.960
<v Speaker 2>on what do you think of it? Because more more

446
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:27.159
<v Speaker 2>information can't help, can't hurt, right, So it's good to be.

447
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:31.159
<v Speaker 2>It's good to ignowe that everybody had a different opinion.

448
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.039
<v Speaker 1>It's also, uh I think a good thing to be

449
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:39.920
<v Speaker 1>open to it as well. It's kind of a thing

450
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:43.440
<v Speaker 1>that I find a little more lacking these days than

451
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:50.840
<v Speaker 1>it used to be with good reason. Uh So I

452
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.760
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that. That's quite a it's quite a list of

453
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:55.000
<v Speaker 1>people to listen to.

454
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Mm hm.

455
00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>And so let's let's go, you know from here, Yes,

456
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:04.639
<v Speaker 1>please complete this sentence. When I grow up, I'd like to.

457
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:12.039
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to be a natural resource for help, kind

458
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:18.920
<v Speaker 2>of guide, flash influencer because you know, taking this I

459
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:23.880
<v Speaker 2>guess research journey is what I'll call it has proven

460
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:28.159
<v Speaker 2>to me that there are message out there. There are

461
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:34.679
<v Speaker 2>short videos that don't cost anything for anybody, that are free.

462
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.119
<v Speaker 2>That part of the reason I love to use YouTube

463
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.880
<v Speaker 2>is because you can find almost anything on there. If

464
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:49.360
<v Speaker 2>people are given the opportunity to look at some of

465
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the stuff, it may help them in the moment not

466
00:35:53.079 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 2>feel helpless and hopeless, because unfortunately, the way that our

467
00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:09.960
<v Speaker 2>our country right now is a get everything modern medicine,

468
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like people don't always have a shay

469
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.159
<v Speaker 2>in what they want, what they can, what they can

470
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.239
<v Speaker 2>do and what they can they know to but if

471
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:29.000
<v Speaker 2>they had another source of information to choose from, it

472
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:33.800
<v Speaker 2>could be better on a multi throuer level.

473
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, completely thinking about the short statement that RFK

474
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Junior said that we are packing our kids lunch boxes

475
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:49.880
<v Speaker 1>with food that makes them sick so that we can

476
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, sell them drugs to get over you know,

477
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:57.800
<v Speaker 1>what's making them sick. And it is kind of time

478
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.519
<v Speaker 1>that people take a moment and start thinking thinking about

479
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:02.400
<v Speaker 1>what it is that we're doing here and how we're

480
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:07.360
<v Speaker 1>going about it. Yeah, people are are being kept alive longer,

481
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:09.639
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not really sure that the quality of life

482
00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:12.280
<v Speaker 1>at the end end of days is you know, what

483
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:18.559
<v Speaker 1>people are looking forward to their entire life sometimes. So, yes,

484
00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I can definitely see you as a great resource person,

485
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, and perhaps you'll be doing your own podcast

486
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:28.320
<v Speaker 1>here soon and having people on that you can you know,

487
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 1>pick their brain and be an inspiration to other folks

488
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:37.840
<v Speaker 1>like you and not like you. Okay, So with that

489
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:41.039
<v Speaker 1>in mind and whatever else you want to bring, what's

490
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:42.679
<v Speaker 1>the most important thing to you right now?

491
00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Probably what I touched upon earlier when we were discussing

492
00:37:51.880 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 2>movies and connection and community and because without it were

493
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:08.679
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting to me because humans actually thrive better when

494
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:13.480
<v Speaker 2>they're connected to other people. But right now we're living

495
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 2>in a world to feel so bewittled and kind of

496
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:26.079
<v Speaker 2>in a way shove to the side, like we don't

497
00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:32.800
<v Speaker 2>really matter too much to the bigger people. And not

498
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:39.519
<v Speaker 2>that I'm saying that we need to do something to

499
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:47.199
<v Speaker 2>fix that. I'm just saying that community be probably the

500
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:53.119
<v Speaker 2>bigger picture rather than trying to throw up the system.

501
00:38:55.400 --> 00:39:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Yes, community is what's called for. Yes, and the word

502
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:06.880
<v Speaker 1>fix doesn't belong in community, the word workability and some

503
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:12.039
<v Speaker 1>other things, and so integration and trust, yes, and a

504
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:14.800
<v Speaker 1>feeling of belonging and all of those wonderful things that

505
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:18.679
<v Speaker 1>come along with community. I agree with you. I think

506
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that that's very very important. Whether I agree with you

507
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:25.960
<v Speaker 1>or not, it really doesn't make any difference. But it

508
00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:29.840
<v Speaker 1>just seems like we're on kind of similar energy wavelengths.

509
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Here would you like to leave in the world after

510
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:36.800
<v Speaker 1>your life is done?

511
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I would like to leave them with a better understanding

512
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:49.360
<v Speaker 2>of what they do every day and what they feel

513
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:53.519
<v Speaker 2>every day, which we sure you get can help them

514
00:39:53.559 --> 00:40:01.840
<v Speaker 2>feel better. And it's funny I wrote down Western medicine

515
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:10.519
<v Speaker 2>because people in those countries seem to be happier. They

516
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:15.440
<v Speaker 2>seem to be happier with little to do and practice,

517
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:24.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, just their daily program get help them kind

518
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:32.400
<v Speaker 2>of just feel good and run more positive throughout today

519
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:38.679
<v Speaker 2>without really being nuded by anything negative. It's almost like

520
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:42.320
<v Speaker 2>a slug negative off or gets a bug on their shoulder.

521
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:47.360
<v Speaker 2>For us over in the US, we have so much

522
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:50.400
<v Speaker 2>going on and as soon as something attacks us, it

523
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:54.039
<v Speaker 2>just kind of like, get off me as soon as

524
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:58.920
<v Speaker 2>you can. And even though we have that mindset, it

525
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:08.239
<v Speaker 2>doesn't really work because I think we confuse thin get

526
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:14.639
<v Speaker 2>annoyer within that we should be taking into account and

527
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:20.639
<v Speaker 2>processing and breaking down so that we really understand why

528
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:28.559
<v Speaker 2>we feel before I think we move. We move too

529
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:35.360
<v Speaker 2>fast to really understand what it is would be trying

530
00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:38.519
<v Speaker 2>to reach us. Yeah, we're trying to get through.

531
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:44.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. When you're a goalie, you don't have to You

532
00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:49.519
<v Speaker 1>don't have to catch everything that comes your way. There

533
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>are some things that are more important to catch than others,

534
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:55.960
<v Speaker 1>aren't there. Yes, And when you can bring some thought

535
00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:58.840
<v Speaker 1>process into the into the picture and you know, kind

536
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of increase the time between stimulus and response, then you

537
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:06.480
<v Speaker 1>can I think have a more authentic reaction to what's

538
00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:09.039
<v Speaker 1>really going on as opposed to the one that's automatic.

539
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

540
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good, So, Luke, do you go to the bakery

541
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:16.800
<v Speaker 1>at all.

542
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Every once in a while. Who doesn't need a sweet treat? Yeah?

543
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Exactly. My baker does really neat things. If you buy

544
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.639
<v Speaker 1>a dozen donuts or cupcakes or whatever, he always gives

545
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:33.599
<v Speaker 1>a thirteenth one. Okay, and so you're going to get

546
00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:39.039
<v Speaker 1>a thirteenth Baker's question here? What is it that? What's

547
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:41.119
<v Speaker 1>the thing that most people misunderstand about you?

548
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Even though the thank that I had been through meet

549
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:56.000
<v Speaker 2>me brave, wrong, inspirational, What if we want to call it,

550
00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm I steel carried it scared child with me, I know,

551
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:08.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, And that's something that I haven't really thought

552
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:17.639
<v Speaker 2>about until now, because you know, everybody around me always think, oh, look,

553
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:22.480
<v Speaker 2>he's doing so well, and it's just like not always,

554
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:27.679
<v Speaker 2>not always some day, you know, or harder than others.

555
00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:34.079
<v Speaker 2>And who knows. Maybe that's why I'm constantly hiding myself

556
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:39.679
<v Speaker 2>is because I don't actually have all the answers or

557
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I've been I've been scared for so long that I

558
00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:50.639
<v Speaker 2>don't know how to reconnect with myself or the world

559
00:43:51.039 --> 00:44:00.440
<v Speaker 2>because I'm just trying to get by and I don't

560
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:02.760
<v Speaker 2>really always know the way forward.

561
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's kind of interesting how people choose to

562
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:09.639
<v Speaker 1>use you or the idea of you or the story

563
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yes, and I wonder how many people take

564
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the time to actually listen and get to know you. Yeah, yeah,

565
00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:24.159
<v Speaker 1>well that that is wonderful. It's it's been a really

566
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:28.159
<v Speaker 1>remarkable conversation. I appreciate you. Do you have any questions

567
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:29.440
<v Speaker 1>for me before we sign off?

568
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:37.800
<v Speaker 2>What do you think the world need more of.

569
00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:40.480
<v Speaker 1>What we're doing?

570
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

571
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.159
<v Speaker 1>I think what we what we need a lot more

572
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:50.039
<v Speaker 1>of is people to be willing to consider questions as

573
00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:54.239
<v Speaker 1>opposed to as viewing answers. And I think we really

574
00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:58.679
<v Speaker 1>we owe it to each other as human beings to

575
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:01.960
<v Speaker 1>honor the human being. You know that we're sitting across

576
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:05.960
<v Speaker 1>from time to set the phone down for a while

577
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:10.480
<v Speaker 1>or maybe even turn it off and get into discussions

578
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:14.559
<v Speaker 1>that have something to do with learning, like what it

579
00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:16.800
<v Speaker 1>is to be a human being. And that's one of

580
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the main reasons that I started this podcast almost almost

581
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:24.199
<v Speaker 1>two years ago. I really wanted to go out and

582
00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:26.880
<v Speaker 1>find out what people are thinking and find out whether

583
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:30.679
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff about identity is true or not. And

584
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:35.199
<v Speaker 1>quite frankly, what I'm finding out is is that nothing

585
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:37.599
<v Speaker 1>could be further from the truth in terms of people,

586
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:41.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, being completely different in their thought processes. They

587
00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:47.840
<v Speaker 1>actually most everybody is worth listening to. And I learned

588
00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:52.119
<v Speaker 1>something in every single podcast and I absolutely love this.

589
00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Anything else, Yeah, to add to what you're saying, I

590
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:07.559
<v Speaker 2>recently read more debt. A lot of people don't use

591
00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:13.320
<v Speaker 2>their rational brain, rational part of their brain when experiencing something.

592
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:19.000
<v Speaker 2>It's mostly just pure emotion and it's only after the

593
00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:22.719
<v Speaker 2>fact that they realized why would I show shad by

594
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:26.920
<v Speaker 2>that news? Why would I so angry when person A

595
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:31.559
<v Speaker 2>said that to me? Why do person be just ignore

596
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the fact that something big show happened. It's just kind

597
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:44.639
<v Speaker 2>of mind boggling in it in itself, because it's just

598
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:49.360
<v Speaker 2>like we have this program, but do we necessarily always

599
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:52.239
<v Speaker 2>know why or do we even have a reason as

600
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to why?

601
00:46:53.440 --> 00:47:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, fantastic. I appreciate the perspective and your thoughts, and
