And then we have another name that 6 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.839 ends in a vowel. Here, I'm start to believe all 7 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.239 I guess names ending vowels lately. And we're here with who. 8 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.760 My name's Nico Verano. And I'm very gratefully you guys 9 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:21.280 had me on. 10 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.480 Today, okay, And who is Nicko Verano? 11 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.440 Nico Verano? First off, is the son of Nick and 12 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.199 Michelle Verno. That's what I always start off with. 13 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:30.239 I okay, let me hold you there. Why do you 14 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.519 always say that NICKI is my dad? 15 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.759 Because my greatest achievement in life will be being their son. 16 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.359 We're making them proud. Yeah, one hundred percent. The name 17 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.719 of my company actually is MMFP, the Holding Companies MMFP. 18 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.039 Make my father. 19 00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.560 Proud, make my father prout. 20 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:46.479 Yeah, my mom will be proud as long as I'm 21 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:48.560 a good person. But my dad takes a little bit more. 22 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.200 I must be the mom and dad in this family 23 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.119 takes a little more Okay. 24 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.200 I just say I'm your daughter. I don't really mention dad. 25 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.520 Okay. So, but it's a boy that wants to make 26 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.120 his father proud, right, that's it. Tell my listeners why 27 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.480 that is, and then we'll get into what you do. 28 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.719 Because you know, my dad, I think had a much 29 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.680 different upbringing than the one he gave me. You know, 30 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.480 he quit school in the ninth grade to basically support himself, 31 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.560 uh and made a name for himself. And in my opinion, 32 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.680 you know, he's the best business owner I've ever seen. Period. 33 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.680 I've been in rooms with you know, fortune five hundred CEOs, 34 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.799 guys that have started billion dollar companies, and I've never 35 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.480 been more impressed by them than I have been by 36 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:34.200 my dad. So he's your hero, Yeah, no doubt about it. 37 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.000 So is there anything that makes you ever feel insecure 38 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.799 about trying to fill those shoes? 39 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.799 Well they're massive shoes, absolutely massive shoes to fill. Not 40 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.000 as big as his pants were to fill. 41 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.480 Yes, because you don't have that problem. You know, issues 42 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:51.959 the go ahead and you must like your mom. 43 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.840 But but yeah, big shoes to fill. And you know, 44 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.439 now he's basically carved a path for me. So the 45 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.400 pressure I feel sometimes is like, am I doing enough 46 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.920 to head down that path and be successful? But it's 47 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:08.800 a pressure that you know, he reminds me of like, 48 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:10.879 you know, you don't have to just try to make 49 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.159 me happy, but it's one of those things that you know, 50 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.319 if I try every day and have a little bit 51 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.039 of success, I think will be happy. 52 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.560 Is it amazing? How old? You know? 53 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:20.919 Thirty? Just turn thirty? 54 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.159 Just ten thirty? And when did you get in your 55 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.879 head that you wanted to make your parents proud? 56 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.479 Probably probably at a pretty young age, like probably around 57 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:31.280 like ten or twelve. 58 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.759 At that young of age, Yeah, you knew that you 59 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:34.560 wanted to make them proud. 60 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.240 Yeah, because I saw the journey my dad took of 61 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.719 basically just you know, taking a leap of faith opening 62 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.719 up a fifty person restaurant in the North End that 63 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.080 sort of the same Italian food that everybody else served 64 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.280 in the North End and becoming successful doing that just 65 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.520 by treating people differently and making sure everybody had a 66 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:52.840 great time. And he created a name for himself from nothing. 67 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.960 So if he's given me the platform by you know, 68 00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.280 moving us from Rivera to Lindfield for a better school 69 00:02:58.319 --> 00:02:59.280 system and then. 70 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.240 Gives the they did that to me too. Yeah, and 71 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.960 then from there from west people to Newton, Like we 72 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.280 just said me, therefore, stop getting these culture sharks. You 73 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:10.639 people like, what's wrong my parents? 74 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.639 Yeah, but they you know, they did that and uh 75 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.319 then he gave me the opportunity to go to college. 76 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.159 So I was the first one in my family to 77 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.319 go to college. So you know, what's there's another option 78 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:21.319 other than make them proud? 79 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:22.800 Is he first generation? 80 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.520 He is first generation. His parents came over when they 81 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.120 were pregnant with him, so born here, went back every summer. 82 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.439 But he was born in Boston. 83 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.039 That no, yeah, dad was born you know, Dad was 84 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.400 an oops, but he was born here. Yes, he's who 85 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.879 isn't an oops though nowadays now I was planned. She 86 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.639 was definitely planned. At the moment to the. 87 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:43.800 Moment, I was an oops. 88 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.560 I was a big oops chowers Oops too. 89 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:47.840 Oops happened. 90 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.520 Oops, so that happens, okay, but oops are good things too. 91 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:52.960 Are you the middle of the oldest? 92 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.919 I'm the oldest. So I have one younger sister. Her 93 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.879 name is Marina. She lives out in La Yeah, she's awesome. 94 00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.120 I hear she's selling real estate. 95 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.199 She is selling realis out there trying to. She has 96 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.719 one really big listening right now that she's very excited about. 97 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.599 So good for her. Yeah, so there's two of you. 98 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.280 Two of us. That's it age gap two and a 99 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:10.840 half years? 100 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:11.599 How much closer? 101 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.159 Yeah, so neph years and you both want to Does 102 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.160 she have the same thing of making dad proud like 103 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.000 you or more you? 104 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.000 I think I have it more. She'd probably get mad 105 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.879 that I said that. I think she has it too, 106 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.120 But she sees the world the same way that they 107 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.160 gave us an opportunity, so now we have to capitalize 108 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:28.439 on that. 109 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.319 Do you think there's a difference between first generation kids, 110 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.319 whether they Italian with Saltimer whatever, of a different upbringing 111 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.639 than me being a second or third generation American here, I. 112 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.839 Don't think so. I think if if you have parents 113 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.199 that instill certain qualities in you, you're going to want 114 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.079 to work, no matter if your first, second, third, fourth, 115 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.000 fifth generation. It really just depends on sort of how 116 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:55.720 you're raised. And sometimes on the opposite side of the spectrum, 117 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.360 you're not raised that way and you still want to 118 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.959 raise your family one day day different way, so you're 119 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.600 going to work to provide a much different upbringing than 120 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.240 you had so. 121 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.480 I'll tell you why you will be success successful. It's 122 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.879 on my opinion, and you already on that road. Is because, 123 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.920 like you, I wanted to make my dad proud to right. 124 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.800 That was the goal. I want him to say, now 125 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.560 that's my daughter, right. 126 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.040 The biggest compiment you can get. 127 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:27.439 One thousand percent. I knew that by probably eighteen seventeen 128 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.000 eighteen is when I started to know that, Okay, we 129 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.120 both have that in common. I think a lot of people, 130 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.120 a lot of kids, no matter what generation, if we 131 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.360 have respect, we get love. We love our parents, but 132 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.920 there's a different way we love them. Sometimes we don't 133 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.079 like them. We always love them. Sometimes we don't like them. 134 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.800 We don't like rules, we don't like regulations. But I 135 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.120 think brought up in the right environment, that hustle is 136 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.519 just in you. And then they just kind of flick 137 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.360 the lighter torch that they know. A parent knows when 138 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:01.600 their kids got that bit of that. I can do 139 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:02.920 this and trigger it. You know what I'm saying to you. 140 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.759 Hear what I'm saying on this well, light the lighter 141 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.160 because there was fuel to light. He saw that in you. 142 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.120 Whether you saw that in you or not, I don't know. 143 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.399 No, he definitely saw it. I remember vividly. It was 144 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.519 an end of freshman year. I was just finished my 145 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.279 freshman at you Miami, and I had worked to transfer 146 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.240 into BC because that was his dream school for me. 147 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.920 In that summer, I had an internship. It was only 148 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:28.800 like two days a week, and I neverew. He came 149 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.920 in on like a Tuesday, middle of the summer and 150 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.279 I was just home with some friends and he lit 151 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.240 me up. He said, you know you gotta be working 152 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.600 five days a week, sixties week, seven days a week. 153 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.319 He goes, you know you're gonna end up just like 154 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.279 any other bust out. 155 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.360 So he lit you up, and my son says, I 156 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:45.720 tune him up. Is that the same thing? 157 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:46.800 Yeah, same thing. 158 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.920 So as he's lighting you up at that moment, what 159 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.319 are you saying in your head. 160 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.519 I'm saying, well, I just worked so hard to transfer 161 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.560 into BC, like, can I get a little bit of 162 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.519 a break. But I didn't realize at the time was 163 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.120 that he was trying to show me that the hard 164 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.160 work never stops. You just got to keep going and 165 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.120 keep going and keep going. 166 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.639 And did you understand that at the time, or are 167 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.360 you going what the Heck's going on. Yet I'm now 168 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.360 in BC. That's still not making you happy. 169 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.240 Yeah, that day, I didn't understand it at all, But 170 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.920 I always reflect back on that day and remember vividly, 171 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.560 maybe because he was four hundred pounds and yawn at me, 172 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.160 but I remember that very vividly to this day, and 173 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.600 I think, you know, I ultimately thanked him for it, 174 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.040 because you know, from that day on, the mindset changed 175 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:27.759 in some ways. 176 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.519 Yeah, that's it. Would you generation used all the times mindset? 177 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.000 I use? I don't know, like I never heard that word, 178 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.680 so I went on social audio. I would say, where's 179 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.120 your brain? Why aren't you using your brain? 180 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.160 I mean you kind of said something similar to me 181 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.519 with me, like it was my freshman year of college 182 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.319 that came back and you were like, I'm going to 183 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.800 take away your car unless you get a job. And 184 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.439 you were like, you have to apply everywhere because if 185 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.480 you don't have a job, I'm literally taking away your car. 186 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.199 And I believed you, and now look at you guys, 187 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.040 but you have to put Look as far as I'm concerned, 188 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.839 I know this. I was never afraid of my father, 189 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.399 but he still the enough fear. I knew. He never 190 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.600 hurt me he would never put his hands on me, 191 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.720 but he just had to give me that one eyebrow 192 00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.399 and I went stage left. But that respect is gone now, 193 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:14.319 especially kids your age I had thirty years old. Everybody's 194 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:15.879 a kid. You know how we're talk in Boston, right, 195 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.360 you could be eighty years old. My mother's talking about 196 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.319 her friends. The only kid that we went to school with. Mom, 197 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.279 I think the kid is growing up and maybe has 198 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.000 died by now, like right, but this little kid. But 199 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.680 I think that if you give those kids that little 200 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.679 bit of fear, like your dad used to say to you, 201 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:34.519 what he's gonna do? 202 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.759 What to you if you don't, oh run me over, 203 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.320 chot my fingers off? One or the other. Never happened, 204 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:40.759 thank god. 205 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.240 Never happened. Absolutely, But it was like the thought was 206 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.600 putting your head, like, is gonna shot my fingers? Is 207 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.720 he gonna run me over? We know that's not really 208 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.200 gonna happen, but everybody hold that thought. We're going to break. 209 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.080 I'm city stump on you listen to Toughest Nails on 210 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.399 WBZ and we'll be right back and welcome back to 211 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.600 Toughest Nails on WBZ, and we're here with who Wake 212 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.320 Up get off your phone.

I was born to Frankie and then 217 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:12.960 they changed it to Cindy. 218 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:13.919 How'd that happen? 219 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.360 Because my mother looked at me and she goes, Bobby, 220 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.480 this is one ugly baby, and we are not giving 221 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:21.799 her a boy's name because, oh my god, she's got 222 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.320 these long arms, long legs, jet black here and she 223 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.720 is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Name. Give her 224 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.240 a girl's name right away. My father's like, she's not ugly, No, 225 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.080 she's ugly. They switched from the hospital. She's really not mine. 226 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.720 That's what they thought. That's what she thought around. Okay, 227 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.720 so the name Frankie would have fixed me fit me perfectly, 228 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.679 I don't think so what would have I don't know. 229 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.759 There's just something about when someone says Cindy stump Frankie 230 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.320 Stumpo doesn't actually sound as intimidating. 231 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:50.919 You say Cindy Stumpo. 232 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.399 Nowadays it's Cindy's such a like it reminds you the 233 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.360 Brady bunch with the girl that wore the pigtails. I 234 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:57.679 don't know, Cindy's just Cindy. 235 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.679 Maybe you put a different meaning meaning to the name Cindy. 236 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.320 It's like a boss statusy Okay. 237 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.720 So imagine if it was Franky Stumpo, then they would all, 238 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.480 you know what. Back then, they would have assumed I 239 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.320 was a guy because they all thought, see Stumpo was 240 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.399 a guy. Right. Remember we didn't have Google back then. 241 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.320 It was like and then they meet me and they'd 242 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.120 go like, you don't look like a builder. Oh, what 243 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.480 is the build to look like? I'm sorry, like, should 244 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.080 I put that in the dictionary? What's the build to 245 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.279 look like? But no, I think to see your generation 246 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.919 and we're going to get into everything you do in 247 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:32.639 a minute. But be this hard working at thirty years old. 248 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.960 I hate to tell you, but you are now the 249 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:40.559 not norm. This was norm for my generation. Gold and 250 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.159 pushed that rock up the mountain. Have that burning desire 251 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.240 to be successful. We wanted it.

I need you to answer a 300 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:30.360 question for me. Dude. I'm want a zoom meeting. I 301 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.159 just get and I was on a face zoom meeting 302 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.679 so I couldn't text. I'm like, you can't make this up, 303 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:36.399 But yeah, I mean it definitely grew up with a 304 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:37.799 cast of characters, right, oh. 305 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:39.519 Cast of characters. I say it all the time. I 306 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.159 feel like I'm one of very few people that can 307 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.679 sit in a room with business execs on a Tuesday 308 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:45.279 night and have dinner with them, and then on a 309 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.240 Wednesday night have dinner with some guys that have maybe 310 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.080 spent more than half their life in jail, and have 311 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.440 a good time with both both crowds and learn from 312 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:53.039 both crowds. 313 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.480 Is it amazing? So you viciously do live through other people. 314 00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.759 I take lessons from everybody. 315 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:00.960 So that makes you a genius? You know? 316 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.360 I don't know about that. 317 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.799 No, it does. You know the same. Let me hopefully 318 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.279 I get it right with my brain right now. Some 319 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:10.919 people make the same mistake over and over again, expecting 320 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.320 a different result. A smart person makes a mistake, no, no, no, 321 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.639 makes a mistake, but then makes a new mistake, doesn't 322 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.200 make the same mistake. And a genius just lives through 323 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.480 everybody else's mistakes. And I live through everybody else's. 324 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.039 I hope I can get to that level. I'm not 325 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:26.879 there yet, but I hope so. 326 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.960 But you will, you will, I don't think I was 327 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.960 there at thirty either, but I got there. So now 328 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:39.879 now that we understand Nico's background, and what are you doing? 329 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.960 So right now we're opening up a bunch of sweathouse studios, 330 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.519 which your contrast therapy studios. So in fred sawn a 331 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.159 cold plum vitamin C private suite all over Massachusetts. 332 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.200 Okay, what made you stop this? And then we'll go 333 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.720 get into what that actually is because some people that 334 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.799 are listening don't really understand this whole new hole plungings, sauna, 335 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.000 red infra red infrared. I call it red like therapy 336 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.080 for some reason my brain infrared. And then what's the 337 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:10.200 vitamin sea shower we do? 338 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.320 So the vitamin C shower is really good. We'll get 339 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.480 into this. But when you sweat, your pores open up. 340 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.159 So when you go into the vitamin sea shower, it 341 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.320 adds that low grade vitamin C into the water, which 342 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.720 kills all the bacteria in limescale on the pipes and 343 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:24.480 then basically freshens the water so that you get very 344 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.360 very clean water. And it adds a little bit of 345 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.679 vitamin C back into your skin. 346 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:32.240 So it's more for the system, less for the body. 347 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.759 It's fifty to fifty. It kills all the limestone bacteria, 348 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:37.799 which is great, but it also adds a little bit 349 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.000 of low grade vitamin C into your skin as well. 350 00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:44.279 And how many times can I if I want to 351 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.639 go into the sun like what I heard when I 352 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.559 was there, after going the sauna, go in the coal plunge, 353 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.200 back on the sauna, go in the cold plunge. Is 354 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:51.559 that true? 355 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:54.240 You can do. The beautiful thing about sweatoes is you're 356 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.679 in your own sweet for sixty minutes by yourself, and 357 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.320 you can go any which way you want. So most 358 00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.840 people will do twenty minutes in the sauna, a five 359 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.120 minute vitamin C shower, a five minute cold plunge, and 360 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.519 then repeat that one more time so they fulfill the hour. 361 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.000 Some groups of people will do a forty five minute 362 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.440 sauna followed by a five minute shower, followed by a 363 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:16.840 five minute plunge, followed by five minutes to get ready. 364 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.320 So the whole thing is you want to go from 365 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.080 hot to cold to cold to hot, because that's what's 366 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.320 going to cause it therm, a regulatory reaction in your body. 367 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.679 Explain that, all right. 368 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.360 So when your body goes from hot to cold to 369 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.960 cold to hot, your body is activating a lot of 370 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.519 things that you don't typically activate. So what that activation 371 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:34.600 does is it kills a lot of the inflammation around 372 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.159 your muscles and bones and allows you to prevent things 373 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.679 like sicknesses. It improves your mental health, improves brain clarity. 374 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.559 But more than anything, just makes you feel better. Like 375 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.080 the simplest way I explain this to people such as 376 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.639 my dad's friends is coming to sweat hoose just makes 377 00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.879 you feel better both internally and external. You just feel amazing. 378 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.480 Okay. So some people that can't use that. So for me, 379 00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.759 when I'm home and I'm taking a steam, I'm taking 380 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.559 a on in my own house. At some point I 381 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.480 run low blood pressure, right, so I get to I 382 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.600 feel lightheaded yep, and I gotta like crawl out of 383 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:11.639 the steam, Like sometimes I literally have crawled out of 384 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:14.320 my own steam, right, Ray help me, Like I think 385 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.000 I'm fainting. So if you have low blood pressure, does 386 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.960 that because my dog said, Okay, you run low blood pressure, Cindy. 387 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.000 So if you're gonna take a steam, just take an 388 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.519 don't go the full time, yep, make it shorter. 389 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:29.919 What I would say is I think you'd do much 390 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:32.399 better in our infrared saunas because they heat you from 391 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.440 the inside out, so it's a much more heat. It's 392 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:37.919 a heat that you can withstand a lot longer. So 393 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.039 that's why you can sit in there for forty five minutes. 394 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.000 You weren't sit in a traditional steam or a traditional 395 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.360 sauna for that long. But you can sit in an 396 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.440 infrared sauna, maybe do thirty minutes and see how you feel, 397 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.440 and then go cool off with a cool shower and 398 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.039 then go in the cold plunge. And I don't think 399 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.559 your low blood pressure would ever even come into the mix. 400 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.919 Is this the same infrared that they're using on people's 401 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.080
