WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.120 Following yesterday's podcast episode where we talked about living with 2 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:10.160 an entrepreneurial and we dropped some financial data, today's episode 3 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:21.239 was only appropriate. Welcome to the Transformation Station podcast. I'm Christina, owner, operator, 4 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.320 and founder of the Transformation Station, and this is where 5 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.920 we talk about getting stronger while navigating real life. If 6 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.760 you're trying to stay consistent through the ups and the 7 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.920 downs and everywhere else in between, this is for you. 8 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.479 There's certain things that we're just not supposed to collectively 9 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.039 talk about. And I don't know who or when this 10 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.200 happened or this decided, Like apparently you're not supposed to 11 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:48.679 talk about money or weight, or age or debt or salaries, menopause. 12 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.240 We don't want menopause every day in our space, or 13 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.719 maybe like how much something does cost or how much 14 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.759 you make, or maybe how much you've gained, and like why, 15 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:00.840 Like this is something that all always made me so 16 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.359 incredibly curious. And when I started asking questions like if 17 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.159 someone tells me like, oh, at my age, I shouldn't 18 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.640 be doing that, like how old are you? I'm like 19 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.599 and then in my brain I'm like, oh, I don't 20 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.519 know why I always just ask that, But if they say, oh, 21 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.599 at my age, they didn't disclose it. I'm gonna ask, like, 22 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.760 how old are you? Just so I get some contexts 23 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.000 to the idea. And sometimes I think that because I 24 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.239 work with a lot of women, and like I think, like, oh, 25 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.319 you should never ask a woman what are ages. I'm like, well, 26 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.439 I need to know for contacts, especially if we're talking 27 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.680 about Finnis. So like when people say these things or 28 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.640 they talk about these things, it's like, why just I 29 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.640 think that's part of everyday life. And like I said 30 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.799 with Chris yesterday on the podcast, like this isn't a 31 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.480 lot of the unless you went to school for accounting, 32 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.000 Like in elementary school, high school. Financial stuff wasn't taught 33 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.040 at least where I went to school anyway. And like 34 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.359 when someone says like, oh, I bought a new car, 35 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.719 but then when you ask what they paid for it, 36 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.120 if you're interested in that car, it's it seems like 37 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.400 it's it's inappropriate. And like if someone says like, oh, 38 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.480 I like I lost thirty pounds, like that's like, oh cool, 39 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.640 like awesome. People celebrate it. But if someone's like, oh, yeah, 40 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.280 I gained thirty pounds, like suddenly it feels like they're 41 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.560 in a confession booth and they have to feel shame 42 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.560 that goes along with it. That's like when I when 43 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.000 I hear that, it's like, well, that's the same thing. 44 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.080 Like when people are having life changes. We congratulate someone 45 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:27.039 for getting married, we congratulate someone for having a baby. 46 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.400 Let's say we congratulate someone for graduating school, but we 47 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.080 don't congratulate somebody for they bought a new car and 48 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:36.080 they were able to do so because their other one 49 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.159 was breaking down. So yeah, let's chear for safety. We 50 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.280 hear someone who started a business or that grew their business, 51 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.879 but I guess that's what a grand opening is for. 52 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.680 But like we don't celebrate it the same way. We 53 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.360 don't celebrate like, oh, your business is doing well the 54 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.680 same way as Oh, someone just had a baby. So 55 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.960 it's like everyone's milestones and things can look different. But 56 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.759 like on the other side of things too, it's like 57 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.159 we talk about being successful or being proud of our 58 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.439 jobs or our professions. So I just got a job 59 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.719 in my field, this is so great, Or oh I 60 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.960 got a work promotion, high five, that's awesome, But like 61 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.400 sometimes people can be uncomfortable with that or saying how 62 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.400 much money they make or how much something costs, and like, 63 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.039 people can really be struggling financially while everyone about them 64 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.400 and around them it's like, oh, you're actually doing great, 65 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.439 but that person is such a depression and they have 66 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.879 nobody to talk to about it. Because I think a 67 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.120 lot of it comes down to the same thing, like 68 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.520 weight gain. It comes to people feel shameful. I'll always 69 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.800 say too, like comparison is the thief of joy, and 70 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.639 I think people tend to like they feel shame and 71 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.520 they feel like they're comparing themselves to somebody else because 72 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.479 on the outside they look like they have it all together. 73 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.120 Someone could be driving the latest Tesla and people are like, oh, 74 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.000 my gosh, I have so much respect for you. I 75 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.120 drive a shipbox. Meanwhile, that person has one hundred and 76 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.280 fifty thousand dollars in debt, and the person I've in 77 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.520 their shipbox, well, they haven't had a car payment for 78 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.400 the last five years. So it's interesting to see. So 79 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.120 when I was in my early twenties, I learned that 80 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.800 I read a book there was I rented a basement 81 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.240 apartment for a hot second after I had sold my 82 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.879 home and the landlord there she's like oh, She's like 83 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.240 you're You're different. I'm like, oh, okay. And then she 84 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:23.439 for Christmas she gave me this book. It was a 85 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.160 business book. I'm like, badass cool. And that was before 86 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.040 I started my first location. And that's something I think 87 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.160 it was called The Wealthy Barber, Rich Dad, Poor Dad 88 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:33.600 or something like that. It was one of those books. 89 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.680 I think it was a Wealthy Barber and that was 90 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.879 actually in that book. And that's something I still remember 91 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.839 over like twenty years later. Really was it twenty years 92 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.360 later or something like that, But it's true. It's like 93 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.639 we compare the latest shiny thing to something else. And 94 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:49.959 a lot of people have said to me, like I 95 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.360 want to do what you're doing. Is I want to 96 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.879 start a business? Or I've had people come up to 97 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.560 me and they're like, I got five P in my bank. 98 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.160 You think I can lease a business like this? You 99 00:04:58.199 --> 00:04:59.680 think I could do this? Because you think I can 100 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.600 do that, I'm like, if you have the drive for it, 101 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.040 of course you can do it. If you have the 102 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.439 thirst for it, and you like to get knocked down 103 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.720 to stand back up and knock down to stand back 104 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.160 up and have everyone's opinions in your face. If you 105 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.560 have boundaries that you can uphold, because that's what it's 106 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.040 going to take is a lot of boundary setting. Then 107 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.839 of course money money, money comes and money goes. Like 108 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.800 will you be able to pay first and last on 109 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.800 a decent commercial space with five K? No, you can 110 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.879 barely do that for a basement apartment these days, never 111 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.040 mind a commercial space. Which is interesting even to say 112 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.839 out loud, because like the second we put a number 113 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.160 on something, all of a sudden, it's like, oh, we 114 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:44.000 have something to compare in general, like my salary versus 115 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.519 your salary, or my weight versus your weight, what size 116 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.560 you wear at that weight when we wear the same 117 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:51.959 or when we weigh the same and we have we 118 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.240 are actually different sizes, so it's interesting, like my debt 119 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.399 versus your debt, my savings versus your I don't have debt, 120 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.800 but like my versus your age, or even body shapes, 121 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:07.560 body sizes. I've heard people so many times that they're like, oh, 122 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:09.319 I don't love my body, but at least I'm not 123 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.040 the shape that she is. I'm like, excuse you, that 124 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.000 person was born with that shape, Like how dare you? 125 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.800 And that person maybe he's looking at you and saying 126 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.360 thank God that I don't have her shape, Like you 127 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.160 know what I mean, Like, why is that a thing? 128 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:26.560 Why can't we just like share to empower people or 129 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.720 share to get knowledge out into the world. So then 130 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.720 this normalizes it, and like you are allowed to totally 131 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.519 keep things private, okay, Like there is a difference between 132 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.839 privacy and secrecy. You're allowed to keep things private. Nobody 133 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.360 is entitled to know anything about you, your weight, how 134 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.600 much money you make, what your job is, your finances, 135 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.120 your dead amount, like anything about you, Like you are 136 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:52.480 so entitled to keep that completely private. I do not 137 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.519 think that we should feel like we have to hide 138 00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.079 those things in that same context, because like sometimes you 139 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.199 hear someone, oh, yeah, I gained weight this year, Oh 140 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:04.560 my gosh, I'm in debt, or oh my business is 141 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.399 doing really well and I'm proud of that. Sometimes those 142 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.839 three different things it can make someone else feel a 143 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:13.240 little bit more normal as well, to be like, oh, finally, 144 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.639 my business is doing well. When I hear business owners 145 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.560 say that, I'm like, how are you celebrating today? High five? 146 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:21.639 That is awesome. Or if someone comes up to me 147 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.519 and they're like, Christina, my business is struggling. Do you 148 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.279 have any ideas? I'm like, okay, show me what you got. 149 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.240 Where do you want to go? What are you working with? 150 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.879 How much time forget finances? You don't necessarily need finances 151 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.360 for different ideas? What can we implement? And they're like, oh, 152 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.160 having another set of eyes is really awesome because you 153 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.959 talk about those things. So it's like when we understand 154 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.680 where other people are coming from, then maybe it makes 155 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.279 people be like, oh, okay, this is okay, this is normal. 156 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:57.079 And like if we always just assume that being uncomfortable 157 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.600 means we shouldn't have those feelings either, then that's like 158 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.360 that's a totally different thing, because like I want to know, 159 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.199 like why are you not wanting to share that? Like, 160 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.360 what is something maybe that you were taught growing up 161 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.399 or in school or by other people around you, your peers? 162 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.360 What is something that you were taught that you shouldn't 163 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.920 talk about? And then you're like, oh, well why why not? 164 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.160 Like people get their backup when we talk about like 165 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.759 different things, like if we say fertility, I gotta put 166 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.720 a warning on this now in the description we talk 167 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:31.279 about fertility, some people are like, oh my gosh, we 168 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.360 need to talk about this more, but we talk about 169 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.279 like peeing your pants. At one time that was taboo, 170 00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.960 but then we realized that you're not the only person 171 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:39.519 in the room that when you do a small little hop, 172 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.720 you're gonna you're you're an eight, Like you're that's you're 173 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.919 not you're not actually alone. And when we started to 174 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.159 normalize that, Now in female spaces, we're talking about those 175 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.960 things like it is incredible when we're when we're like, okay, 176 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.039 so what about debt, Like sometimes people like I don't 177 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.960 want them to know that I have debt and they're 178 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.399 working hard to pay debt. How many people do we 179 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.320 mean on a daily basis that just paid off a 180 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.279 crazy amount of debt and they finally feel freedom and 181 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.159 they have nobody to tell, nobody to high five them, 182 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:13.440 and they're just they're like, oh my gosh, like that 183 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.120 was a huge weight on my shoulders. They got to 184 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.279 live in secrecy because they're afraid they're going to offend 185 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.039 someone or they're afraid that they're gonna see them in 186 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.200 a different light. When someone comes up to me and 187 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.960 they're like I got my credit score right, I'm like, fuck, yeah, yeah, 188 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:27.960 you did do that. I don't know why I'm by myself, 189 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.679 so I swear sometimes I swear more on this podcast 190 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.399 than I actually do in person. No, I don't know 191 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.960 if that's true actually, but like I want to high 192 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.399 five someone for doing that, because getting your credit score 193 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.279 right is a big deal. Same like you made it 194 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.440 to the gas station and you didn't run out of gas. 195 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.120 High five to you, Like you can change your entire 196 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.600 life with having these normal conversations. Someone come out to me, Christina, 197 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.480 how do I get my credit score? How do I 198 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.720 get my credit score right? Well, what you're working with? Also, 199 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.919 that's not really my profession. I have done that for myself. 200 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.679 I'm I have grown to be very good with finances. However, 201 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.320 I don't have a financial advisor. I just know that 202 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.360 I don't want to. I don't want to sink. I 203 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.679 just want to swim. I sink and swim off and 204 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.679 on for the last I don't know since I was born. 205 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.200 So now I'm swimming and I'm doing pretty all right. 206 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.759 I know how to manage things. I know how to Okay, 207 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.320 this is here, this is here. It's like you know 208 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.000 that thing we had at Christmas time and we had 209 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.279 it at the summer social the Tetris tumblr thing. It's 210 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.919 like Jenga. Eventually you get pretty good at playing Jenga 211 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.679 to make the vision work. Teammate teamwork makes the dreamwork. 212 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.080 But sometimes there's certain things that don't involve the entire team. 213 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.879 So yeah, like there's sometimes you go through things on 214 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.960 your own. And like one of my really super good 215 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.960 friends also owns a business, and like I could say 216 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.159 things to him and it's normal and he's not jealous, 217 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.759 and he's like, oh that is so good. And there's 218 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.639 sometimes he can tell me so I'm like, oh, I'm 219 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.120 implementing this. Check it out. Check it out. And I 220 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.120 listen and I'm like, damn. I'm like that's gonna that's 221 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.879 gonna set you up for success. And then there's certain 222 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:00.200 things like oh what are you working on today? Oh, 223 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.480 I'm putting out this fire. And then I like, oh, 224 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:05.600 that's a fire, and then vice versa, I'm putting out 225 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.519 this fire over here. Oh my gosh, that is a 226 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.559 huge fire. So like it's pretty interesting, and sometimes it's like, oh, 227 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.639 we're doing this, Okay, I had to do that last year. 228 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:16.960 Oh cool, what result did you get? How did you 229 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.000 manage this? So it's pretty interesting in that way when 230 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.600 you do have those conversations, and maybe it's like, well, 231 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.919 maybe business owners should have conversations with fellow business owners. However, 232 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.440 a lot of us have a hard time making friends 233 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.960 because we're always just so busy. And it's interesting because 234 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.360 you don't know who's going to be a business owner 235 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.480 amongst everybody. I don't know who's listening to this. We're 236 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.519 all over the world at this point with the Transformation 237 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.879 Station podcast, and like, in my brain, I'm like I 238 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.200 just offended everybody all over the entire world talking about 239 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.480 money on the podcast. But it is a part of 240 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.600 daily living. It's also a part of what cuts into 241 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.440 people's workouts. How many times people have said, Oh, I 242 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:59.200 can't afford my membership, so I'm going to quit the gym, 243 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.279 Or how many times have people said, like, oh, I 244 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.919 have to work extra hours because I need to pay 245 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.600 my bills, so I don't have time to exercise. Oh 246 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.039 I'm picking up extra shifts, so I'm always constantly tired, 247 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.360 so I'm not making it to work out, even if 248 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.000 they work out at home or maybe they go to 249 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.559 another gym. So it's like these are things that are 250 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:22.679 pretty normal along every aspect of life, like not just 251 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.159 like okay, so health is a huge thing. We got health, 252 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.720 we got relationships and intimacy and god forbid if I 253 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.000 say sex and finances like those are those are like 254 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:38.600 detrimental pillars, especially let's say in a relationship. But we 255 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:42.799 can't talk about it, so like we don't in my opinion, 256 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.799 we don't need to make these conversations uncomfortable. And the 257 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.080 reason why sometimes I like to talk about these things 258 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.559 is because it's really an eye opener because then you 259 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.240 can see what someone is really dealing with. So like 260 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.240 if you're complaining about lights on or lights off, and 261 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.120 I'm not talking about sex this time, I'm talking about 262 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.799 in the gym during a clock, you don't understand what 263 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.720 the bigger picture is. But maybe you just listen to 264 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:08.240 the last podcast episode and you went, I did not realize. Yes, 265 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.320 that's why I'm sharing my experiences with you. And that's why. 266 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.639 Also when someone shares fitness and shares the transformation station 267 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.200 with their friends with their family, they share posts on 268 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.480 social media that to me is one of like I 269 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.200 am so proud when I see that, and like people 270 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.879 are taking their friends on that one year giveaway transformation 271 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.639 package with all the bells and whistles, even gift cards 272 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.759 for new shoes and new workout clothes and in your transformation, 273 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.159 and a year's worth of coaching one on one and 274 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.480 a year's worth of freaking in body composition analysis scans. 275 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.399 And I see people tagging their friends and like badass cool. 276 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.840 Then they like the page, and then they go and 277 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.360 they tag their friend. I'm like, that's awesome. You see 278 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.600 that there's value in that. Thank you so much. And 279 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.960 when someone brings like, oh, this is my this is 280 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.080 my mom. I wanted her to come see where I 281 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.799 work out, I'm like, sweet, I've been waiting to meet 282 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.440 your mom. This is awesome. That to me is one 283 00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.960 of the biggest honors in business because it means that 284 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.039 that means something to you. And that is what propels 285 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.200 me to keep on going because when I see someone 286 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:10.639 else happy. I love hitting goals in one way, shape 287 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.120 or form and all of the above. But when I 288 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.960 see that people are changing their lives in the space, 289 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.080 that is what makes it worth the hustle. It's not 290 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:21.080 just I'm not sitting here on a fat sum of 291 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.159 money and living in a five million dollar castle. I 292 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:25.639 love three minutes from the gym. I live in Burry. 293 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.600 I don't live for three million dollar castle. I don't 294 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.240 live in LA with all the palm trees and all 295 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:34.480 the celebrities. I'm a very local. I've moved here when 296 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.639 I was four years old. I did not move here 297 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.240 when I was four years old. My mom moved me 298 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.320 here when I was four years old with her. Obviously, 299 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.000 I've been here since I was four years old. These 300 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.919 are things that are amongst our community, but we don't 301 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.279 really know. So I'm gonna leave that with you. That's 302 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.320 the tidbit. Why are things so secret? And what would 303 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:56.559 change if we actually had support? What if you actually 304 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.519 spoke to people about what's actually going hold in your life? 305 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.879 And I mean, like I said, there's different levels of intimacy. 306 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.519 Sometimes people just don't need to know. But when there's 307 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.720 things going off and you're like okay, I just want 308 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.080 you to realize what it actually looks like, what it 309 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.519 actually takes because I am so proud of seeing other 310 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:18.919 people break free and have freedom with fitness and having 311 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.600 breakthroughs and freedom in their lives. And that can look 312 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:27.919 like health freedoms, lowering medication, getting off of medication, normalizing 313 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.000 different blood work stats. It could also be having financial freedom. 314 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.159 It could also be talking about like relationship freedom. Maybe 315 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:42.639 someone just broke free of a damaging relationship, you know 316 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.519 what I mean. Like, it's just so interesting. There's different 317 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:49.840 avenues for these conversations to take place. These are conversations 318 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:53.559 that can literally change people's lives. All right, On the 319 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.320 next episode, it will not be anything about this. It 320 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.600 will not be anything about finances. I do a put. 321 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.279 I will say, sincerely apologize if talking about money made 322 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:07.159 you uncomfortable, because that is never never, that is never ever. 323 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.240 My goal or my AMMO, is just to share different 324 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.879 data and share different information so maybe you can see 325 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.080 what the bigger picture truly is. Alright, friends, I'll talk 326 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:18.639 to you tomorrow.
