Speaker 1: In this episode, I do a one on one with
my son Jordan, who won a powerlifting competition over the weekend,
and I actually learned something along the way. I know
the son is teaching the father. Are you surprised me?
Come on, let's be honest, but I want to remind
you about bTB, Woodfire Pizza and grill in the mall

routine this week. Kids are going back to school, summer
unofficially over. H Well, how about making your life a
little easier, right, everybody's running around Wednesday, first day of school.
Why not take everybody out to bTB to celebrate ten
dollars burgers? Yeah, delicious big burgers. I mean we're not
talking like these wimpy thin no, No, these are delicious, huge,
amazing burgers. There's nothing on the menu at bTB that'll
make you go that's so good, absolutely incredible. Well, I'm
so impressed by how Matt and Connie and the team
at bTB run things because they're always tweaking and making
it better. And as we get into football season, I'm
telling you, great brunch, right, A great brunch keeps the
hangover away and then you just settle back and watch

Speaker 2: Whin your old career gives you lemons throwing some ice,
mix in some vodka. Color A podcast from the Mac
of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by Victor
Chrysler Dots Jeep Ram. It's Billified the Bill Moran Podcast.
Speaker 1: Well, hello and welcome.
Speaker 3: Thanks for getting your pot on. Thank you for telling
a friend.
Speaker 1: That's always spread the word about the pirate ship. If
you ever want to feel old, watch your kid do
something that you couldn't possibly ever have for ever.
Speaker 3: Ado even imagine doing.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, I went out and I watched my twenty three
year old son, Jordan, in a.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say a weightlifting competition, but it's what
is it?
Speaker 1: Powerlifting competition? Powerlifting competition? See, I don't even know. And
I asked him to come in here today we're taping this.
It was kind of early on a Sunday morning, early
for a Sunday morning. I actually woke him up. He
told me what time he wanted to be here. We
got him some coffee and some breakfast. Sandwich to try
to get him fueled up, and then I hear he
comes in and he says, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Went out to the bar last night and I.
Speaker 1: Wore my metal because you won your age group for
the powerlifting competition, which I thought was super impressive and
something that you got to feel pretty good about.
Speaker 3: I do feel really good about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean it's like putting on a costume
and you go out.
Speaker 3: You're like, I mean that is is that called low
key brag? What do they call that? Quiet brag? Humble brag?
Humble brag? Humble brag?
Speaker 4: I don't think it's humble brag. I know.
Speaker 3: I think it's just an out and out brag.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's pretty out in people's faces. But
I mean people wear rapper chains out to the bar
all the time. I can't wear a metal that I earned.
Speaker 3: I yuess. I don't know if you did.
Speaker 1: It was interesting, right because I had never gone to
one of those well run I thought, you know, really
moved people through did this stuff? What do you have
like one minute once you get on the platform, Yeah.
Speaker 4: You have, so once they call your name, you have
you just have sixty seconds to get yourself set and
complete the lift.
Speaker 1: And you were the slowest by the way I figured,
because you would walk out and you would look at
the bar and you'd kind of roll your shoulders or whatever,
and then the guys are like, all right, Joan, come on,
clock's chicken. And I think you were at forty five
seconds then left, and I'm Mike, and I knew you
would get it in.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, it's very similar to what I would do with
track in terms of the timing of everything, Like when
I was when I was a thrower in college, you
had the exact same amount of time to complete your
throw as you would have lifted a powerlifting me. So
I know, you know, everyone says like, oh, just go
get it done right away. I'm like, no, I'm gonna
make sure I'm when I'm walking up there, I want
to make sure that I'm like confident and a little
bit relaxed so that i can just get under the
bar or get on the bench and just get it done.
And that takes forty five That takes a couple of seconds.
It takes a couple of seconds.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: So well, let's back up just a little bit here
and kind of walk through you.
Speaker 3: You were a thrower in high school. Yeah at McQuaid.
Speaker 1: Uh, muscles, you definitely had them, but you were a
skinny guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny. I think a lot of that. A
lot of where I started with both powerlifting and track
was around the exact same time. It was one of
my best friends. His name is Joseph Brunner, and he
he was the whole reason I started doing track in
the first place, and at least started throwing.
Speaker 3: Did you know Yoseph. I don't think I ever even
knew this.
Speaker 4: You don't remember the the ginger kid at all?
Speaker 3: The Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that was that was.
Speaker 4: Went to Fisher.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's Joseph. Yeah, oh I didn't. He's my He's
one of the think I thought his name was jose.
Speaker 4: Well it is, but he emphasizes that pronunciation. Okay, I
don't know why, but he he got me into throwing
because he and I were teammates before I started doing
that when I just when I wasn't able to run
anymore because of the constant injuries to my foot and
just the frustration. And he was also a big like
he was really into powerlifting at that age, which was
why he was so good at track and once he
got me on the team and started getting me in
the groove of throwing, it kind of just was one
and one, yeah, and it became like a very The
lifting styles are very similar. You're doing a lot of
the same movements anyway, m hm. So it makes sense
if you're going to keep training that way, you might
as well compete that way too.
Speaker 3: Because then I remember about was it a year ago?
Speaker 4: Two years was two years ago?
Speaker 3: Okay, two years ago? I did one? Yeah, you were
in college still, I was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was my I was going into my senior
year year of college. It was end of the summer
right around the same time, the same place too, and
I had never done one before, right, but I wanted
to enter one, and I came in third place. At
that time. I didn't have any of the equipment I needed,
I didn't have a coach, I barely knew the commands,
and I still went out there and I.
Speaker 3: Did what I did. Yeah, you came in third, I think.
I know.
Speaker 1: By the way, you didn't even have a singlet Nope,
And so you have to wear these singlets, which, by
the way, can you get a bigger one, like slightly bigger?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I probably I've thought this is.
Speaker 1: That thing, like practically it's like C three, you might
as well just walk out there naked and do the thing.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I don't want it like sagging down
my legs as I'm trying to squad.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: But so, okay, so you and and that one you
came in third. Now you're a little more aware. This
is only the second competition you've done.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I you know, I had that year
off where I was where I was living in Saint
Louis and doing track over there up until the injury,
and then I decided when I came back and had
my pseudo medical retirement from track, I was like, I
want to get back into this, and I just I
went online and I saw that Chris Harris was hosting
it again at the same venue, same entry fee, same everything.
I was like, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna pay the fee,
I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 3: So and these are sanctioned events.
Speaker 4: They are. So there's two different federations out there, at
least that I know of, for powerlifting. There's the USAPL,
which is the United States. I think it's like the
United States of America Powerlifting League, and then there's the USPA,
which is the United States Powerlifting Association. They have slightly
different rules and slightly different things that you're allowed to
do in terms of like equipment. I don't really know
all the nitty gritty of it, but I know that
I got a membership for both so that I could
you have a membership for both? I did, Yeah, so
it could experiment and see, you know, I want to
try both.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when is? Do you know when the next one is?
Speaker 4: I can go online and see when there are other ones.
I know. I know Joseph and I are planning on
doing one in Utica in December, okay, which is in
the other federation, the USPAK, And that would be my
first time competing with those.
Speaker 3: Rules in Utica.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look at this the armpit in New York. When you're
walking up to the platform and you're going for your
heaviest lift, this is going to be the one the heaviest.
And I watched guys try to hit away. Like one
guy just walked up. I think he looked at the
bar and knew he couldn't do it and walked away.
They just walked away, and I was like, I get it. Man,
I totally get it. I couldn't do this, but what
is going through your head? And how do you manage
the pressure in that exact moment, because that's like a
pressure fel Field thing. And there's an audience, so to speak,
and judges who are they're watching your form and right,
and you gotta get you got to get at least
two white lights, yeah, to move on out of the
three judges.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So there's.
Speaker 4: The judges are there just to make sure that you're
doing everything correctly in order for your lift account. And
then there's a guy giving commands, which by the way,
they need to start giving that guy a microphone or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's hard to hear.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you got speakers blasting, you've got the.
Speaker 3: End music pumping DJ there yeah yeah, and you.
Speaker 4: Have the the MC of the event just trying to
hype up the crowd. You know, credit to them. But
at the same time, it's like it's kind of like
golfing away, you know, like once you're actually doing it,
you kind of need to be quiet so you can
actually hear everything. Yeah, but it's never like that, so uh,
they do.
Speaker 3: Make it a bit of a carnival.
Speaker 4: Don't they They do, but I mean, you gotta you
gotta make it entertaining. People pay to get in there.
Speaker 3: So, but it was.
Speaker 4: The white lights thing. It's just to make sure you
know you're doing everything right. So you have to make
sure you're hearing the commands properly. You can't put the
bar back on the rack for squats until you hear
them say to do it. You can't press the bar
off your chest on bench press until you hear them
say it. If you do it too early, that's a
light gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then if you obviously, if you fail to lift,
that's three reds. Doesn't count.
Speaker 3: If you how many attempts do you get on each,
so you.
Speaker 4: Have you have a total of three attempts at any weight,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: So I only saw you do like two.
Speaker 4: Well, so when you go, when you first get there
and you do you you walk in, you give them
your name, your ID, your membership card, You go through
all that, and then you go to actually weigh in
to make sure that you're uh at within the threshold
for whatever weight class you're in. After that you give
whoever took your weight is also going to take your openers,
So you actually have to have a number in your
head of how much you want to start with h
and it has to be in metric.
Speaker 3: Which I hate, but right right.
Speaker 4: So once you do that, at that point you decide
from there how much heavier you want to go. That's
why if you saw me co back up to the
table where they had that little chart, that's what I
was doing. I was trying to figure out what I
was going to do next, so they could tell the
people who are loading the bar, hey, he's going to
do her.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Those guys are like they're like a GASCAR pit crew.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was gonna say. They got Jackson everything. Man,
they're jacking that stuff.
Speaker 1: Up quick, boom boom boom the weight tron and then
in comes to the next person.
Speaker 3: Through all of this stuff, what did you learn?
Speaker 1: I guess about yourself, and I know I would say
leaning up to the competition, but through this weightlifting journey,
maybe something that surprised you the most that you that
you learned about yourself.
Speaker 3: Was there anything?
Speaker 4: Honestly, the one thing I really learned was just that
I can do it. I mean, it takes a lot
of it takes a lot of effort. But it's not
as I don't want to say, it's not as hard
as everyone makes it out to be, because in my
head it isn't. You just have to keep doing it
every single day. I mean, it's like it's very similar
to any form of training for athletics. Like look at
you talk to like Joe Burrow or Josh Allen about
like what it takes to be a quarterback in the NFL,
and one of the first words that, like one of
the first things they'll say is you got to show
up every day. You gotta do everything every day even
if you don't want to, right, Yeah, And that's something
you told me about all the time when I was
a kid with sports and stuff, that if I wanted
to do it, I had to do it every day,
even on the days I didn't want to. And you know,
it's it's the same idea with powerlifting. You just you
gotta show up for training the same way, with the
same attitude every single time, even on your worst day.
Speaker 1: Powerlifting's about lifting weight, right, I mean that that's what
that's about. But but what wait outside the gym, do
you think this sport has helped you kind of move
forward in life, carry better in your life, I.
Speaker 4: Would say so.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean I'm a huge advocate it for people to
go work out for more than just the physical health benefits,
but also the mental health benefits.
Speaker 3: You got to think about true.
Speaker 4: I mean people talk about a runners high all the time. Yeah, yeah,
that's cool. But do you know how good it feels
to squat four hundred pounds and not die? It's awesome?
Why doesn't everyone do that? But in all seriousness, I
think you know, having something to do consistently that you
can get really good at that. It's everyone talks about
having like a win in the morning or like a
win to start your day.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know some people say, oh, I make my bed
every single day so that I can have a win
for that day.
Speaker 3: Yeah cool, do you do that? Do you make your
bed every day? I doubt it, No.
Speaker 4: I doubt But what I say when I'm saying that,
what I mean, I know what you mean, Like when
you go to this something you accomplish exactly, there's a
satisfaction to that.
Speaker 1: That That's why a lot of times I don't know
that I was always great at it, but I would
have say things. It's like, you know, on radio. I
didn't know how I did.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day. I could walk out
of there going, oh, great show today.
Speaker 1: It could have been a steaming pile of shit, and
I wouldn't know because the ratings didn't come out for
three months. There was nothing tangible. But if I hung
a door, like when we replaced the door in your bedroom,
like that kind of thing was a tangible thing, and
there was satisfaction to doing that, especially when it was
an older house and I had settled and the door
was all fucked up and I had a plan.
Speaker 3: It was great, like it was.
Speaker 1: Those were satisfying things, and I think that we need
to do more satisfying things. There's a lot of talk.
You'll hear. God, I feel like so many people just
talking in circles or platitudes. Often, Like I saw something
about like churches coming together and we're gonna tear down
walls and we're.
Speaker 3: It's every it's every.
Speaker 1: Fucking you know, platitude, and we're gonna tear down these
walls and we're gonna bring the creat But it's not.
It's you're speaking in hypotheticals.
Speaker 3: You're not.
Speaker 1: There's no tangible plan there to actually do it. And
I think the only way to fix everything is to
fix the individual first. And you fix the individual by
building self esteem. And you build self esteem by being
by accomplishing things and feeling good. And it's not bullshit
stuff or blowing sunshine up your ass and telling you
you're great.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I hear people always bitch about participation trophies and all
that sort of thing. I don't have a problem with
a participation trophy as long as we're still giving somebody
MVP Most Improved on top of the participation trophy to
show you that, hey, thanks for showing up every day.
Speaker 3: That was great. Here's a participation trophy.
Speaker 1: This guy did a little extra and really improved and
he worked on his game. Have you been to Leo's
Baker and Deli and East Rochester recently?
Speaker 3: Oh? You got to get there.
Speaker 1: They're open every day, so it's very convenient. It'll satisfy
your sweet tooth, your sandwich gravings. Get the Kubano tell
them Bilified said to have the kubato sandwich, fresh baked bread,

So what's the best thing about Leo's Everything? Check them
out a Deskbats drive in East Rochester, because every day
is a good day for Leo's. Because the best thing
about Leo's is everything. Hey, if you've been thinking about
checking out recreational cannabis in Monroe County, stop thinking and
start visiting my buds over at MJ Dispensary. They were

I think one of the big things for anybody if
you were to apply this stuff to life. Right, you
were this skinny guy in high school who looked up
to these people. You are not that skinny guy anymore.
But it was through consistent work that got you there.
And I will always say to people you you can't
get from Rochester to Buffalo without taking the trip, without
taking the journey. Now, there's many ways to get from Buffalo.
The easiest way is ninety, but you can do back roads,
you can do different ways, you can veer off here.
Speaker 3: Right, all kinds of ways. Which way is going to
be the easiest?
Speaker 1: And they, like I always say, when we think of.
Speaker 3: Like grinding and grinding out and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And it kind of makes it ugly, right, And I
live that way a lot, and I think you don't
have to do that. I think you can have a
different mentality and still get there and be happy. And
I will say the best way in my mind to
do that is if I put in my GPS how
to get to Buffalo. Do I worry about not getting
to Buffalo? No, I just think about the next turn
I have to make. That's what I think about, and
I go, this should be the same thing in life.
Speaker 3: I want to get here. I trust I'm going to
get there. What's my next turn? What's my next turn?
Speaker 1: And then you know what I'm saying, with the destination
in mind, but knowing that it doesn't have to be
this grind thing. But I'll lighten it up here a
little bit, because I always these conversations.
Speaker 3: You're fine.
Speaker 1: All these conversations turn it back into the lectures you
used to get in the car from McQuay.
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised, but you're fine. I do want to say,
I think I think I didn't really address the point
you brought up earlier about what's what goes through my head?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what goes through your head when you're walking
up there, because it's like there's music nothing.
Speaker 4: That's the thing. It's the same approach I had with track.
It's the same approach I have with the lifting. It's
the same approach I have with everything. Is when I'm
right like I've got my heart's racing, my head's pounding,
I'm hearing all this music, I'm hearing people yelling, and
all I want. All I can do in that moment
is just breathe and tune everything out and then it's
just me and the way, and that's it. That's all
you gotta do. Once you're there, it's a way you've
either done before, you've never done before, or you're just
literally under there and you're like, I'm either going to
look like a little bit and not get this and
possibly get hurt, or I'm gonna get this and it's
gonna be awesome. And all you do, that's all I do.
I just breathe, clear my head and just get under it,
and I'm done.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 4: Like you can't have any thoughts going through your head
because if you're thinking about it the entire time, you're
trying to do it, you're gonna fuck it up.
Speaker 3: Right almost You're putting some resistance in there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean again, you can ask a lot
of I mean, it really just comes down to what
you're doing. But a lot, I feel like a lot
of people would agree when it comes to something like that.
You can't think you need to turn your brain off
and you just need to you just need to be automatic.
You already know what you have to do auto pilot
pretty much.
Speaker 1: It very zen, Yeah right, yeah, in a way, right,
something that I've always.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if it's that zen when
you're like, when you've probably had three to four hundred
milligrams of caffeine and are ripping smelling salts behind the stage.
Speaker 3: Why do you do all that stuff?
Speaker 4: Well, caffeine is a legal performance enhancer. Everyone will tell
you that. Yeah, so you know it helps perform. There's
obviously tons of studies out there that show that it
does boost performance, right, But the smelling salts thing is
more of just a thing that some people say is
some people say it's bullshit. I disagree. I've seen it
wake up people who are blackout drunk. You've seen those
videos where like they'll break the little ampulse under somebody's nose.
They're passed out and then they immediately come back. No,
I use that because it just helps me breathe in
a lot more and it just helps me dial in
so that way when I go out there, I'm not thinking.
Speaker 3: Like dietary wise, because I was looking.
Speaker 1: I actually looked up while because there was some downtime
yesterday doing that meat, and I looked up the anti
inflammatory diet. I was reading that stuff, and I mean,
how much how important is diet for you overall?
Speaker 3: Very Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Mean it's even outside of this just to stay healthy,
you know, like with all my food allergies and stuff
on top of everything else, diet is extremely important.
Speaker 1: You had a lot of food allergies. Jordan was like
when he was born, he was a losing weight, projectile
vomiting back in the hospital. We had to get hyperallergenic
formula from Britain.
Speaker 4: I was basically the I was pretty much bubble boy,
yeah kind of.
Speaker 1: I mean I would say it's dramatic, but yeah, I
guess you could say that growing up. I was on
the radio for all your life pretty much, and people
would recognize it. How did I don't know, how did
it feel when people would say things? And did you
ever feel differently of me because of that?
Speaker 3: I don't know. No real people would recognize.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was always weird because I'd be like,
who are you?
Speaker 3: And then I'd.
Speaker 4: Realize very quickly, Oh, you don't actually know us. You
just know what my dad talks about. And at that
point it was more of just a you gotta be
careful about how you carry yourself type deal, because anyone
could call in and say anything and be like, hey, Bill,
your kid's an asshole, like and just say some story
about me being a dick, and I would have no
idea who this person is, So you know, that was
something I had to really keep in the back of
my head. Ye.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. I think there was even maybe even
talked about a little bit. It was right, It was by.
Speaker 4: It was drilled into my head by you and especially
by mom.
Speaker 3: Mmmm.
Speaker 4: Like I mean Mom and I we'd be at Wegman's
grocery shopping when I was like seven eight years old,
and we would get stopped seven times before we even
made it out of the parking lot because people would
recognize her because of you, and you know, that's just
like I got used to it. It was kind of
a normal thing, but it was also like I knew
it was weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I also just didn't care. I was just like, Okay,
this is a part of what's It's just a part
of the life.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's one memory of us from childhood that that
still shapes how you see maybe me or the family?
Speaker 3: Is there anything that any kind of.
Speaker 4: I mean when when we say childhood, how how far
back are we going?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You tell me what whatever sticks in your head, I
don't have.
Speaker 4: Any I mean seeing you at all my my track
meets in high school. Yeah, that stuck with me. Yeah,
that's still kind of you know, hearing you talk about
I mean, just the talk about staying consistent with sports,
like constantly checking up and seeing like what I was
thinking about, and how practice would go, and some of
the conversations we'd have on Ride's home after practice that
really shaped me.
Speaker 3: Do you think so? I did?
Speaker 1: I always thought sometimes I was I was like, going,
if that were me, I would you turn into Charlie
Brown's dad is like, well.
Speaker 4: I mean at that age, I didn't really have the
same appreciation for it that I do now sure of course,
you know, thinking back on it, like I still a
lot of that stuff I still try and carry with me.

Speaker 4: I, mean yeah make make.
Speaker 3: Some.
Speaker 4: MONEY yeah i don't.
Speaker 3: Think Like apple stock or something might be a, little
BETTER but i.
Speaker 4: DON'T know i, would SAY if i were to go
back and tell my fifteen year old, self anything it
WOULD be i, would say start getting more serious about
working out at a, younger AGE like i was doing
it at, that, age SURE but i wasn't as DISCIPLINED
as i WAS when i. GOT older i, would say
start being more consistent and work toward, it now because
then who knows, what'll, Change.
Speaker 3: Right yeah, STARTING now.
Speaker 1: I Don't, want yeah like you never want to miss
out on things you hear about people who have trained their,
whole lives, you Know Like tiger Woods Being, Tiger, woods
right it was golf twenty four to seven for. That
guy and then when you find out this Story, of tiger,
you know having this almost sexual addiction where he's just,
you KNOW and i don't know if that's part of
the boring life for. SO long i remember reading an
Article In rolling stone magazine about you two concert and the, reporter,
Rights Uh tiger woods got backstage and asked to see
the set lists so he could at know what songs
were being because he wasn't familiar with them and he's,
a celebrity and so they bring him back and, YOU
know i Don't even i'm not sure If If tiger
woods wanted, to go or Someone like tiger was with wanted.
To go, either way my point is like it was so,
much golf there, was nothing there was room for nothing
else to be, that, Great right and then on that
there is this SIDE of i just want to. LET
loose i just want to fucking.
Speaker 4: Let, LOOSE well, i mean, it's like look at all
those look at all, the sheltered like the hyper sheltered
kids who go off.
Speaker 1: To, college yeah those are the kids Who, they yeah
sure they were like, super disciplined four point zero perfect
scholar in.
Speaker 4: High school as soon as they're out, under there from
under their parents' Thumb At. Arizona, state there they can't
carry the discipline with them because all they want to
do is let loose because they never got to. Do
it those are the kids who go from the four
point oh to the one point fives and two, point
oh's partying every single day of, the week using any
bar special day as. An Excuse marguerita monday to Send,
it sunday whatever you want to. Call, IT like.
Speaker 3: I don't Send. It sunday i'm not Even. FAMILIAR monday i.
Speaker 4: Just made that. One up but, you know then you
look at guys like you know who had that balance, of,
like oh this is why they were able to do
all this stuff their entire lives and still be. REALLY good,
i mean look At Like john Daly And, baker mayfield like,
those Were And matt stafford even those were people who
were like, still grinding still at the top of, their
game still, doing amazing but doing the almost like the
opposite of What everyone everyone would hear about, the parties like,
the drinking the, crazy antics but it's because they weren't
so rigid with themselves to where they would lose control and.
Speaker 1: Burn out what's something about me as a dad that
you maybe, understand better possibly even, APPRECIATE more i don't
know than you did back. Back then and maybe you
already touched on it a. Little bit i'm. Not, sure god,
this long you gotta wait this long to come up.
Speaker 3: With something wasn't?
Speaker 4: That, Bad, no no it wasn't. That bad IT'S just i.
DON'T know i, DON'T really i, Didn't REALLY i'm i
wasn't prepared for.
Speaker 1: That, QUESTION well i think, you, said like, you know
the things that we would, talk about and HOW so
i feel like it's a.
Speaker 3: LITTLE redundant i.
Speaker 4: Think it would just go back to the same thing
of the consistency that you told me ABOUT when i was,
A KID and i definitely appreciate it NOW because i
try and carry that with me in other aspects of.
MY life i try and just be as CONSISTENT as
i can, with work, with friends, with relationships. With everything, you, know,
like yes putting my best foot forward and showing up
and on THE days i don't.
Speaker 1: WANT to i think THAT'S a i think it's a
great lesson, for EVERYBODY and i think if you can do,
it though with the attitude, OF hey i get to,
LIFT today i get to, LIFT today i get to
go to the, gym today INSTEAD of i have to
go to, THE gym i Have to there's something.
Speaker 4: Just different do they have to Get TO because i understand,
THAT mentality i take it more OF a i need
to because, for, me yeah it's something fun and yet
IT'S something i enjoy and IT'S something i get to
do that a lot of people. DON'T know i can
take that appreciation. From it but, FOR me i need to.
Do IT if i it makes my. Day BETTER if
i don't, do IT unless i have a really good
excuse For why i'm not, DOING it i Feel like
i'm wasting time or missing out on potentially doing BETTER
than i, would be, you know like it's a need.
FOR me i need to be in the gym working
out at least five days. A week i need to,
be there And if, I'M not i, feel worse, YOU
know i Feel like i'm falling behind with myself AND
where i want. To BE and i know that doesn't
sound good and that doesn't, sound HEALTHY but i mean
it in the best, possible way because imagine you just decide, one,
DAY oh i don't feel like going to, Work today
i'm not going. To, go well now you're, Losing money
now you're. Falling behind you could be, you know if
you like your job and want to keep, doing it
then you could be falling behind and wanting to get.
A promotion, you, know like if you have a goal
and you want to be the best version, of yourself
then you need to treat the things that you don't
like Doing THOSE oh i have to NOT as i.
GET to's. I mean, i again that's a, great mentality but,
for me it's a more of. A no i need
to BECAUSE if i want, something GREAT if i want
to do, something GREAT if i want to be, something
great if THERE'S something i want at the end of all,
of IT then i need to do THE shit i
don't want, to do EVEN if i just absolutely can can't.
Do it if I'M if i, feel LIKE unless i
am actively sick, OR injured i need to. Do it
and that's the same thing. With school the same thing.
WITH work i need. TO go i need to do
it BECAUSE if, I don't i'm not gonna GET what. I, want.
Speaker 3: Yeah well.
Speaker 1: THAT'S interesting i always think like sometimes if you can
go with a, lighter attitude and BY attitude i MEAN
and i don't mean to take it, more Casually what
i'm saying is not going with the. SUCH resistance i
have to. DO this i don't want to.
Speaker 3: DO this i. DREAD this i, YOU know i dread
waking up On a monday morning that, boss again blah.
Speaker 1: Blah blah and if you can, just, go, HEY man
i GET to i get to go make, MONEY today
i get to see SOME people. I like i get to,
you know maybe uh needle. MY boss i can make
a joke. OR something i just, think that like that
softens it because, you're right you.
Speaker 3: Need to you.
Speaker 4: NEED TO i i one hundred percent. GET that i
think that's a really good mentality because if you just
keep associating it negatively WITH the i, have to, YOU
know i don't.
Speaker 3: WANT to i.
Speaker 4: Dread it you're going to hate everything you're doing and
you're going to Put yourself you're going to make yourself.
More depressed if you start having that appreciation, for things
it will make you, feel BETTER but i think. YOU
can i, like THAT but i love the need to
because it holds yourself to a. Higher standard and there
there's the thing that something, holy shit you want to,
talk about something you drilled in my head holding yourself
to a. HIGHER standard i probably heard that every single
day for definitely for three years straight in. High, school
yeah and probably a lot before. Then too of you
need to hold yourself to a higher standard because you
are better than whatever whatever. You think you are better
than what people may make you out. To be other
people can have whatever they want, about you but if
you hold yourself to a, higher standard everyone will see
you at that. Higher standard they won't see the work
that goes, into it but they'll see.
Speaker 3: The, result yeah.
Speaker 1: THAT'S interesting i need to revisit. THAT myself i need
to hold myself to a. Higher, standard yeah That's that's
that's a good one to end.
Speaker 3: IT on i do appreciate you. COMING in.
Speaker 1: I hope i know you got a master's program that,
you're doing and you got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 3: FOR that i do thanks for, having me, all right,
