1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to ask my friend Wade Lightheart a question

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>as I'm headed into my seal fit journey, which just

3
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.919
<v Speaker 1>became real. I just got invited into the zoom session

4
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>to meet the other men who are going to be

5
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>burdened with me in their group. Ah, these poor guys,

6
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.399
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to ask him about the hardest thing

7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>about doing hard things, because Wade's a guy who's done

8
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of hard things, and we are all going

9
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>to have to do hard things. You probably saw the

10
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 1>video of the guy who was offered one misdemeanor charge,

11
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>that's it, no jail time, no prison time because of

12
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>January sixth. He refused it because he says the government

13
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>was going to make him lie about other people, so

14
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 1>instead he did two years in prison. I wonder what

15
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the hardest thing about doing hard things was for him.

16
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about this with Wade, with the help of

17
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 1>God Almighty.

18
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.679
<v Speaker 2>The cod Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by

19
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 2>big pharma, technocorrats and tyrants everywhere. No from the high

20
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>mountains of Free America. Here's the Emerald City Exile cod Herman.

21
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Today is a day the Lord has made, and these

22
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>are the times to which God has decided we shall live.

23
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 1>When you build up to do a hard thing, sometimes

24
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think, and we'll get weighed on and talk about this.

25
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the hardest thing about doing hard things is

26
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 1>the part I'm in now that for me, this journey

27
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>seal fit is well, it's something that most people aren't

28
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>going to do, but it can really compare to things

29
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 1>you are going to have to do, particularly if you're young. Right,

30
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>those of us that are old, we sort of invent

31
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>our hard things. I mean, there are hard things in life.

32
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>There's the death of a loved one, there's moving, there's

33
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 1>changing jobs. Increasingly, there's staying wedded to the word of

34
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>God in a society that hates the word of God.

35
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>It can be hard to do that because sometimes it

36
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>leads to losing jobs, and that's.

37
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 3>A real challenge.

38
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 1>It's horrible. God promises us, he promises us that He

39
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 1>will return sevenfold what we lose if we do it

40
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>serving him. I've certainly found that to be true. With

41
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 1>this podcast and the multiple radio shows we have now

42
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>national radio shows, I've certainly can witness to that. The

43
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>hard thing I think about doing a hard thing is

44
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>getting past the thinking point the planning point. And there's

45
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>something that I've learned about my mind, and that is

46
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>that my mind will confuse talking about doing a thing

47
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>with doing the thing. Consequently, there are goals I have

48
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in my mind I never share with anybody. I don't

49
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>even write them down. Trust me, they're not going away.

50
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 3>They're up here.

51
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 1>The hard thing as well is sometimes recognizing that you

52
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>are not going to shine all the time. It goes

53
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>right back to your the turtle, or no, not you

54
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to the turtle. It goes back to all the places

55
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>will go. This is doctor Seuss right, You're not always

56
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 1>going to be on top. My coach did something to

57
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>me about four weeks ago. She's never done and what

58
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>was going on. I didn't even understand what she was doing.

59
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 1>She presented to me a workout challenge and showed me

60
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the movements. This is going to be these movements. It's

61
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>what we'd call it shipper. So it has a whole

62
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 1>bunch of movements in it, and five movements. And it

63
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>was burpie box jumps, it was skier, it was wallballs,

64
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 1>dead lifts, it all in this one workout. And then

65
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 1>coach said to me, my.

66
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 3>Expectation is that you will get easily.

67
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Through eight rounds of this. Oh okay, well that seems

68
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>an aggressive.

69
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 3>Goal, but sweet, let's do it.

70
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 1>So I began doing the workout, and in the middle

71
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>of the workout, it's about halfway through it, and I'm

72
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>pretty good at pacing myself and CrossFit. I looked up

73
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>at the clock and I realized, oh my gosh, if

74
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I do not murder this thing, I won't even get

75
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 1>six rounds. So I had to turn everything up in

76
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>an effort to get six rounds, and Coach had expected.

77
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 4>Me to get eight.

78
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Now, when the workout ended, I rarely ever flop after

79
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>a workout that is laid down.

80
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I rarely do that.

81
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't this time, but I sat down, which is

82
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>also rare for me. I never want someone to see

83
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>me tired in a competition sense. I never want them

84
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to perceive that that bothered me. So I had to

85
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 1>sit down and I finally stood up and I said

86
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 1>to coach, let me ask a question. Was there even

87
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 1>a chance that I could do eight rounds? And she said, well,

88
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 1>it's in the realm of possibility. One day I said, okay,

89
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>she goes Todd, You're going to go into an environment

90
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and seal fit where you're going to fail. You are

91
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 1>not going to do on some of the evolutions. You're

92
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 1>gonna flop. That's going to happen. They're going to make

93
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.240
<v Speaker 1>sure it happens. What I liked about what you just

94
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>did is I know you figured that out, she said.

95
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I saw you look at the clock. I know you

96
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 1>did the math, but you sped up. You didn't slow down,

97
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>even knowing there was not a chance you were going

98
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to get to eight rounds.

99
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 3>That will serve you well.

100
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I think the hardest thing about doing hard things

101
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>is recognizing that you are not always going to succeed.

102
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>There are going to be pieces of something at which

103
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you'll fail, and being okay with that goes back to resilience.

104
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 3>We'll ask Wade about this in just a second.

105
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I just got a note from my friend Steve Anderson,

106
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>who's the managing director managing partner of renew Healthcare. Three

107
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 1>couples went there in November, three fantastic outcomes, and I'm

108
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 1>cooking up a trip back down there this time. If

109
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>we go do a wellcation, we're going to give a

110
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 1>lot more time in planning so we get a lot

111
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 1>more people down. We didn't give much time in planning

112
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>us having a great time, got to make great viewers

113
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 1>and listeners. But there are three friends of mine who

114
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>are thinking going on. One of them is Zach Abraham,

115
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>who you know comes on our show once a week.

116
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>He wants to get the infusion of stem cells. The

117
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 1>infusion is probably the most expensive process and it attacks

118
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 1>inflammation throughout your bodies. These stem cells that are ethically

119
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>gathered from umbilical cords and placentas.

120
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 3>They search your body for any hotspots.

121
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 1>If there's cartilage that needs to be rebuilt, it can

122
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>do that, tend then muscle. It does that, but it

123
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>destroys inflammation across the body. That's what Zach is looking at.

124
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Another friend of mine blew up his knee. I've been

125
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 1>asking you to pray for him. He's called the wrestler.

126
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>That's not completely blown up, but looks like the beginning

127
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of a cartilage terear at our age. And he's my

128
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>age in our mid fifties. Cartilage isn't likely to grow back.

129
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>These stem cells can grow it back. So he's looking

130
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>at having that done. And then a friend of mine

131
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a call Andy, and he's a with jumper's knee forever

132
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.959
<v Speaker 1>now it's just me. So we're all looking at going

133
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>down my thing lower back. I made the mistake of

134
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 1>wrestling my much younger, much stronger, much more athletic, better looking, smarter,

135
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and more godly friend Ben. I got the first three

136
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>takedowns and he figured me out and crushed me, hurt me.

137
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, he's my sports med doc. So there's that.

138
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 1>So maybe he should fix me. Hey Ben, maybe I

139
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 1>should get a you hurt me discount. So we're all

140
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>thinking about going down for these very different reasons. Why

141
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.920
<v Speaker 1>would I suggest this to my friends if I didn't

142
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.680
<v Speaker 1>know it worked. Go to renew dot Healthcare and ask

143
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>them if they can replace your cardage so you don't

144
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 1>need to have surgery. Go down and see if they

145
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:40.519
<v Speaker 1>can fix your lower backs. You don't need to be

146
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>in pain and on meds. It's simple. Good to renew

147
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>r E n u E dot Healthcare. That's r E

148
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>n ue dot Healthcare.

149
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Wade Lightheart, Welcome back to the Todd Hermann Show. Good

150
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.040
<v Speaker 3>to see you, my friend, Todd.

151
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm so excited to be here. We had so much

152
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 5>fun last time. To be back again. I really appreciate you.

153
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 4>Having me on.

154
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't agree more man.

155
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Thank you before we get to the hard things, and

156
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you the question, what's the hardest

157
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>thing about doing hard things? I would be like negligent

158
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.399
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't ask you. There's a lot going on

159
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>in this news. You're a very smart man. I've never

160
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>talked current events with you, Like what do you seeing?

161
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 5>Well, we're seeing the culmination of I believe, what was

162
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 5>illustrated by the guys that wrote The Fourth Turning and

163
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 5>if you've read that book, We're in a phase of chaos,

164
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 5>which is usually represented by either civil war or external

165
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 5>war or potentially even both. And there's economic cycles, there's

166
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, civilization cycles, and it seems that we're flat

167
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 5>and that's probably going to be in this for another

168
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 5>ten years as the technological in the technological advancement has

169
00:08:55.159 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 5>really outstripped our biological capacity to handle it. So, for example,

170
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 5>we just witnessed the most public event in world history

171
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 5>with the attempted assassination of the former president Donald Trump,

172
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 5>and in the current candidate. Now, I'm a Canadian, I

173
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 5>don't get to vote either way, okay, So I want

174
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 5>to be clear about that, and it's not a political statement,

175
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.200
<v Speaker 5>but the moment can't be lost in the fact that

176
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 5>once again the authorities that we are entrusting to give

177
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 5>us accurate information are stonewalling us. And we saw this

178
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.240
<v Speaker 5>in the pandemic.

179
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 4>We saw this.

180
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 5>I think we also saw this with the hearings in

181
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.720
<v Speaker 5>the university stuff. We saw it in the Capital six.

182
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 5>And what's happened is we have a fractionation of opinions

183
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 5>distributed through these little things that gain traction, that reaffirm

184
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 5>whatever biases. I don't know what happened. I don't know

185
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 5>what's behind all this. And people are grabbing for certainty

186
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 5>because you need a certain amount of certainty in direction.

187
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 5>You know, It's why people get a coach when they're

188
00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 5>trying to figure out their fitness. There's a lot of

189
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 5>ways to get fit, but you need some sort of direction.

190
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.840
<v Speaker 5>While you have a professor at a university that you learn,

191
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 5>or a teacher of profession, or a spiritual teaching or

192
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.600
<v Speaker 5>a leader or a functional religion, these structures. Well, now

193
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 5>there's so much confusion around this that people are spinning

194
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 5>around in these cycles.

195
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Of what do I do? What about this? You know,

196
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 4>is it a conspiracy? Is this the rise of Hitler?

197
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 4>Is you know, like Is it the end of the world?

198
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.679
<v Speaker 4>Is it World War three like? And what happens two things.

199
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 5>Either you get really hyper motivated and indoctrinated with some

200
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 5>kind of defenses, like we've got to save the nation

201
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 5>and we've got to get kill everybody or fight everybody,

202
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.919
<v Speaker 5>or you go into a defense mode where it's like,

203
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm not listening to it, I'm checked out, don't I

204
00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:59.799
<v Speaker 5>want to play the safe game.

205
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to deal with this.

206
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:02.639
<v Speaker 5>I want to just hunker down in my room and

207
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 5>play some video games or something and take some substances

208
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.000
<v Speaker 5>that just detach me from society.

209
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:12.080
<v Speaker 4>And we're seeing that.

210
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 5>We've got to find a better resolution to the new

211
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:23.399
<v Speaker 5>challenges of society. So there is a call to action

212
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 5>for a lot of people. But that action can't.

213
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:30.039
<v Speaker 4>Be based in fear, and it can't be.

214
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 5>Entrenched in violence, because if it is, the cost of

215
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 5>the solution is much higher than we need to pay.

216
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 5>But it doesn't look like anybody's learning the lessons. So

217
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 5>it's likely the worst case scenario. And we have as

218
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:53.200
<v Speaker 5>men who are in charge of our families, and that's

219
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.720
<v Speaker 5>our immediate community, and then the community.

220
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 4>That we're in.

221
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 5>We have to start gathering ourselves with other men to

222
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.840
<v Speaker 5>find aally new you know, independent communities that are able

223
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.519
<v Speaker 5>to provide support and safety for each other in a

224
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 5>non combative way, hopefully agreed and and and that's our

225
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 5>that's our task, that's our calling.

226
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.200
<v Speaker 4>We can't solve.

227
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 5>These national things, but we can solve the local We

228
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 5>solve the local problems. I think we have an opportunity

229
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 5>to solve the bigger problems.

230
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.320
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't agree more.

231
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And like so many people will complain about and I look,

232
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.759
<v Speaker 1>I complain sometimes living and not take care of home base.

233
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.399
<v Speaker 1>One thing I would ask you as an executive and

234
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>then we'll get into the hard things discussion. Like you

235
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.759
<v Speaker 1>and Matt have built a very very successful company, and

236
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.879
<v Speaker 1>you have you know, scientists and medical people who work

237
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>with you and for you in a formulation lab. So

238
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I just want to run through this scenario. And I'm

239
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.279
<v Speaker 1>taking the assassination attempt to President Trump. So here's some

240
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 1>things we've discovered. They chose not to record the radio traffic, okay.

241
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 1>They chose not to secure the rooftop, all right. They

242
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.399
<v Speaker 1>chose to use untrained agents, okay. They chose not to

243
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 1>take the highest viewpoint, which would be the water tower.

244
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>They chose, they chose to surrender that they chose to

245
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>let this guy walk around for an hour. They chose

246
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.039
<v Speaker 1>to let him be in the rooftop for half an hour.

247
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>He was there twenty minutes, a known danger with a gun.

248
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 1>They chose that President Trump come out. So all these

249
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>choices they made. And I want to put you in

250
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.200
<v Speaker 1>an executive sense. So let's say that you come to

251
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>work one day and you sit down with your team.

252
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:29.159
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're doing the free Magnese and Breakthrough thing.

253
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.879
<v Speaker 1>It's Meg Breakthrough dot com slash Todd Free. We're doing

254
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 1>this with Todd Herman on the show. Do we have

255
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 1>enough coranny because we're going to get a lot of

256
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>orders for this? And your team says, yeah, we didn't check.

257
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Wait so wait, no one checked. Yeah we didn't.

258
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Can we look into the warehouse? You know what?

259
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>We didn't swing by the warehouse? Okay, did we tell

260
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Todd this is a possibility?

261
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

262
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.799
<v Speaker 1>No, And you are getting these series of excuses. Wait,

263
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 1>who'd you put on this? Who's running this?

264
00:13:58.399 --> 00:13:58.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

265
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 1>The new guy, Doug? Wait, Doug's a great kid, but

266
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 1>he's from the shipping department. You put Doug departs of this. Yeah,

267
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>we tried about as a project managemer and you're sitting there.

268
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.720
<v Speaker 3>How quickly do.

269
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>People find themselves with that employment or something? In Wade

270
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 1>Whiteheart's World of Bioptimizers.

271
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.399
<v Speaker 5>Well, first off, the first step is that the buck

272
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.799
<v Speaker 5>stops with me because it's our company, Matt and I's company. Yeah,

273
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.000
<v Speaker 5>and I wouldn't even speak for Matt. I would say

274
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 5>this is my fault number one. I am responsible for

275
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 5>the delivery of our mission statement, and Matt would do

276
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:41.879
<v Speaker 5>the exact same thing. Nice, Okay, it's our fault. So

277
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 5>I come out and I make a public statement I

278
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 5>have failed in the execution of what I've promised to do.

279
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 4>Therefore, I obviously need to be replaced.

280
00:14:54.919 --> 00:15:00.200
<v Speaker 5>And during that replacement process, because I'm taking responsibility, I

281
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 5>am going to find out all of the executional components.

282
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.679
<v Speaker 4>That I thought were in place or omitted or was

283
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:10.960
<v Speaker 4>ignorant or whatever the issue was. And I'm going to

284
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 4>work through this to hand off the new opportunity to

285
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.919
<v Speaker 4>whoever's going to take my role in the future to

286
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 4>say this is what we did wrong, these are the oversights,

287
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:23.919
<v Speaker 4>these are the elements, and we need to make this

288
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:25.320
<v Speaker 4>so it doesn't happen again.

289
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:30.200
<v Speaker 5>If I don't do that, then I'm not a leader.

290
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm a I'm.

291
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.919
<v Speaker 4>A false representation.

292
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.919
<v Speaker 5>And there's a lot of people in business today who

293
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.960
<v Speaker 5>take over big companies with the big paycheck and all

294
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.480
<v Speaker 5>this sort of stuff, and they're catering to the donor class.

295
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:51.639
<v Speaker 5>They're catering to the biggest investors. They're involved in some

296
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 5>politically maneuvering. They're pandering to you know, silly government regulation

297
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.039
<v Speaker 5>and stuff like this. Yeah, because they're playing this political game.

298
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.440
<v Speaker 5>And what happens is a lose track of in all

299
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.399
<v Speaker 5>of the numbers, like in all of the numbers in

300
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.279
<v Speaker 5>the company, what is what does each number essentially represent?

301
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:20.240
<v Speaker 5>It represents a relationship with the customer, and the customer

302
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:25.159
<v Speaker 5>is buying a promise. You're promising number one that they

303
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 5>have a problem, a thing they want to solve, whatever

304
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 5>that challenge is. And you're saying, hey, look, i'm going

305
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 5>to communicate to you. First, there's a communication I'm going

<v Speaker 5>we're going to show you how to use or take

310
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 5>or take advantage of that solution. Number three, we're going

311
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 5>to make sure that that solution happens in a timely

312
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.559
<v Speaker 5>fashion so that your expectations are met within a reasonable

313
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 5>time frame. So if I'm a personal trainer, I'm going

314
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:55.799
<v Speaker 5>to say, hey, yeah, we can get your You want

315
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 5>to lose forty pounds, Well, we can lose that in

316
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 5>a year safely. We're gonna make some and here's the benchmarks.

317
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.079
<v Speaker 5>We're going to take a benchmark at twelve weeks. We're

318
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:05.680
<v Speaker 5>going to take a Bell's market twenty four and we're

319
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 5>going to see based on your compliance, and we're going

320
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 5>to work those compliance things out.

321
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 4>If it's a product, it's like, Hey.

322
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 5>You wanted the best magnesium in the market, You're gonna

323
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.680
<v Speaker 5>take magnesium Breakthrough. Why is it the best? Here's the

324
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.359
<v Speaker 5>reasons why. Here's our promise. We're gonna ship it to

325
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:21.240
<v Speaker 5>you with this medium. Do you like Amazon? Do you

326
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 5>like online? Do you like Facebook? Do you like with

327
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 5>an affiliate such as yourself? Great, we're gonna get that.

328
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.640
<v Speaker 5>We're gonna give you a discount represent for that person

329
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 5>because that person is out there promoting and putting their

330
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 5>name on the line and their stuff, because I have

331
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 5>a responsibility to my partner and then when that product

332
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:35.839
<v Speaker 5>gets to them, do they know how to take it

333
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:38.599
<v Speaker 5>and it gets in a time and fashion and number

334
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:44.359
<v Speaker 5>four of that, if any part of that goes wrong,

335
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm responsible to that, and so therefore I give my

336
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.319
<v Speaker 5>customer their money back. And in this case they have

337
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 5>to say, I have to give the title back that

338
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.640
<v Speaker 5>I was entrusted with because I've failed to deliver and

339
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 5>I owe it to this. I owe it to the

340
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.079
<v Speaker 5>position that I'm in and the position of service that

341
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 5>I have been given and entrusted and have the opportunity for.

342
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.599
<v Speaker 5>I've failed in it, and so therefore I need to

343
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:14.480
<v Speaker 5>give that back to you because I failed in it.

344
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 5>And that's why we have a one hundred percent money

345
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:21.039
<v Speaker 5>back guarantee. So my business is no different than that institution.

346
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.079
<v Speaker 5>It's just a way bigger institution.

347
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.759
<v Speaker 4>When you're talking about the United States of America and

348
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 4>hundreds of years and presidency and that the protection this

349
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 4>is monumentally bigger.

350
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 6>But I think it's that size in that volume and

351
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.799
<v Speaker 6>that distortion that's made them lose track of the one

352
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 6>person that matters, which is the American citizen, and the

353
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:46.799
<v Speaker 6>American citizen has entrusted these.

354
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:51.480
<v Speaker 7>People and these institutions to operate in an integris format

355
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:57.359
<v Speaker 7>to deliver the services, the guidance, and to properly spend

356
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 7>the money that they execate from them. And there's all indications,

357
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.559
<v Speaker 7>independent of which political side that you have, that we

358
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:10.720
<v Speaker 7>have a tyrannical, bureaucratic state that has impaired the delivery

359
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 7>of value to the American citizen, the American taxpayer, plain

360
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 7>and simple.

361
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.160
<v Speaker 1>And wait light heart for president dude, I wish you

362
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:21.759
<v Speaker 1>were a Canadian. Well, nothing wrong with being Canadian. I

363
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 1>love Canada.

364
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.839
<v Speaker 3>But that's so so well said. And see that would

365
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 3>be a very hard thing to do.

366
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:31.599
<v Speaker 1>To resign your position as the boss be a very

367
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.640
<v Speaker 1>hard thing to do. So I want to transfer in

368
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>to the discussion about what is the hard thing about

369
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:39.960
<v Speaker 1>doing hard things. In a second, corruption follows money. The

370
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 1>love of money is the root of all evil. The

371
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.920
<v Speaker 1>love of money. Now, my friend Zach Abraham, the chief

372
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.799
<v Speaker 1>investments are capital management. He doesn't love money, He stewards it.

373
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:51.599
<v Speaker 1>What he loves is managing risk for people. What he

374
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.599
<v Speaker 1>loves is seeing people enter into retirement with a successful plan.

375
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.599
<v Speaker 1>And Zach has a unique way of the describing what

376
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.119
<v Speaker 1>a successful retirement means. It's not what some other people

377
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.960
<v Speaker 1>would do. Other people will show you pictures of beach

378
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>vacations and two million dollar RVs and multiple homes, and

379
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's what you want. What is it what you

380
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>could afford? Zach engages in risk management by actively managing

381
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 1>every single portfolio, which can reduce risk and volatility. And

382
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.279
<v Speaker 1>he will look at your accounts. They'll look at your

383
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 1>equity and your home, your investment accounts, any sort of

384
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.039
<v Speaker 1>outstanding debts you have, and he will tell you how

385
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 1>exposed you are to risk and how near you are

386
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:38.119
<v Speaker 1>to successful retirement. And here's how Zach defines success in retirement,

387
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.839
<v Speaker 1>knowing exactly how much money you will have every month

388
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.359
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of your life. And he'll look at

389
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 1>these portfolios for free, no obligation. Just call him at

390
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.519
<v Speaker 1>eight sixty six seven to seven nine Risk. That's eight

391

392
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:58.480
<v Speaker 1>your Risk radio dot com and he'll make that happen

393
00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 1>for you.

394
00:20:59.359 --> 00:20:59.519
<v Speaker 4>Well.

395
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:02.960
<v Speaker 1>We Managements and Investment Advisor representative of Truck Financial LLC

396
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.119

398
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:17.359
<v Speaker 3>Truk twenty four Dash three seven eight Wade. You heard me.

399
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.839
<v Speaker 1>Talk about this thing that my coach did to me.

400
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 1>And she's not a sy op person, she's not a

401
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>head gamer. But she did this on purpose to give

402
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:28.440
<v Speaker 1>me a task that mathematically and we've worked together for

403
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:31.400
<v Speaker 1>four years. She knows my capability, she knows my work capacity.

404
00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:34.279
<v Speaker 1>She knew there's no chance you're getting to eight rounds

405
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 1>when she did that to me. She was looking for something.

406
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Is Todd gonna crack? Is You're going to realize, my gosh,

407
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to fail? So why even put in the effort?

408
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.680
<v Speaker 1>And what she said she was pleased by was no,

409
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 1>you sped up, you poured more into it knowing you

410
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 1>weren't going to get eight rounds. That's what I was

411
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.519
<v Speaker 1>looking for because in seal fit, you're going to fail. Todd,

412
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 1>you are going to fail. So I think one of

413
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:56.799
<v Speaker 1>the things that hard things are doing, hard things weighed

414
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.880
<v Speaker 1>is to recognize that you're going to fail. You've done

415
00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.359
<v Speaker 1>a ton of hard things, being a world champ, bodybuilder,

416
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.640
<v Speaker 1>building this company, being willing to step down.

417
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:06.799
<v Speaker 3>As the boss. What do you think is the real

418
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:08.640
<v Speaker 3>hard thing about doing hard things?

419
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 4>I think it's to be honest with yourself.

420
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you're scaring me because I'm getting afraid and

421
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:22.119
<v Speaker 1>seal fit and I'm starting to be honest with myself.

422
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think you know the first I think if

423
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.559
<v Speaker 5>there is another Commandmtage thou shalt not kid thyself?

424
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:38.400
<v Speaker 3>I love that, right?

425
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:40.720
<v Speaker 4>And what does that mean?

426
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:49.039
<v Speaker 5>You See, everybody has a voice in their head, and

427
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 5>that voice maybe over calibrating to the negative or over

428
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:57.839
<v Speaker 5>calibrating to the positive, and in different areas, and very

429
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:03.400
<v Speaker 5>seldom is it direct leap an accurate representation of reality.

430
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.839
<v Speaker 5>And only when you get outside of your comfort zone,

431
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:12.680
<v Speaker 5>which is a requirement of excellence, because an excellence, you

432
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:15.720
<v Speaker 5>are letting go of what your past self is or

433
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.920
<v Speaker 5>what's comfortable for you now to embrace what could could

434
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:21.680
<v Speaker 5>you be your potential. But you don't know what your

435
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.400
<v Speaker 5>potential is. You don't know what your top end is,

436
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.960
<v Speaker 5>you don't know what your super self could possibly be.

437
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:32.240
<v Speaker 5>So in pursuit of that, whether you're driven by a

438
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 5>negative voice or a positive voice, the accuracy isn't there.

439
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 5>So you need some sort of external benchmark to determine

440
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 5>where you really are at. So, whether that is delivering

441
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.119
<v Speaker 5>a product on time to a customer or a client,

442
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:52.359
<v Speaker 5>whether that is achieving a new level of fitness, going

443
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:54.799
<v Speaker 5>in a fitness contest or running a marathon or doing

444
00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:58.079
<v Speaker 5>seal Fit or any of the difficult things, or having

445
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:00.440
<v Speaker 5>and maintaining a good relationship with your wife. Think that

446
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.799
<v Speaker 5>everything's okay and I'm doing a great job, and then

447
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:04.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, you go to a therapist and she starts

448
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.279
<v Speaker 5>bringing up a bunch of things that you had no

449
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:08.200
<v Speaker 5>idea about and you you thought you.

450
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 4>Were nailing it.

451
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:11.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and and and and so the distortion between your

452
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.440
<v Speaker 5>perception of what you're doing and her experience is different.

453
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:23.559
<v Speaker 5>So this confrontation with external reality versus your internal representation

454
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:27.400
<v Speaker 5>of it is the process of excellence. And the first

455
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.440
<v Speaker 5>time or two that you hit this, or even the

456
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 5>first multiple times, it's it's impactful in the fact that

457
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.720
<v Speaker 5>it can be you.

458
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Can kind of take away from your confidence a little bit.

459
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 5>It's like, well, wait a minute, the world isn't exactly

460
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:46.880
<v Speaker 5>the way that I'm representing it in my self talk

461
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.039
<v Speaker 5>or my representation. I'm not as good as I think

462
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:52.519
<v Speaker 5>I am. I'm not as cool as I think I am.

463
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.359
<v Speaker 5>I'm not as fit as I think I am. I'm

464
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.519
<v Speaker 5>not as successful or wealthy, or confident or well like?

465
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.559
<v Speaker 5>Are all all of those stories that we're trying to

466
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.799
<v Speaker 5>bolster or hide from in dealing with it. And it's

467
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:10.759
<v Speaker 5>very you know what is the biggest fear in public

468
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:12.440
<v Speaker 5>in people's lives?

469
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.440
<v Speaker 4>Speaking in public? Now?

470
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.559
<v Speaker 5>We all have a voice in our head that's ourselves talking,

471
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:23.079
<v Speaker 5>but in public, if speaking in a public room with

472
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.200
<v Speaker 5>a bunch of people where they could actually not be

473
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 5>concordant with what you're saying in your head, why are

474
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:31.599
<v Speaker 5>people scared of that? Because people don't want to expose

475
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:35.079
<v Speaker 5>themselves to that situation because they might feel that it's

476
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:39.640
<v Speaker 5>too crushing. It's too crushing. And some people will go

477
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:42.400
<v Speaker 5>into a situation like that. They'll do their first competition,

478
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:44.720
<v Speaker 5>they'll they'll get in their first marriage and go through

479
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.400
<v Speaker 5>a divorce, or they'll they'll fail at a competition, or

480
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:50.680
<v Speaker 5>they'll start a business and fail, or they're go into

481
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:53.559
<v Speaker 5>a university and get ripped up in their first thing.

482
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:59.039
<v Speaker 5>They go into that aspirational aspect and at some point

483
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 5>they they get a conflict with that self representation now.

484
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 5>Opportunity and danger are written in the kaishu script in

485
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Chinese and Japanese.

486
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Writing.

487
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:23.000
<v Speaker 5>So the dangerous aspect is to face oneself and your

488
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:27.720
<v Speaker 5>less than representation of what you could be is dangerous

489
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 5>for the psyche and the stamp. Why okay, life is

490
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.359
<v Speaker 5>not what I think it is? The opportunity is is okay, Well,

491
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:40.240
<v Speaker 5>here's where I'm at. Maybe if I continue further, I

492
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:43.119
<v Speaker 5>can be a better version of myself because the only

493
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:47.759
<v Speaker 5>person you're really competing against yourself is the person you

494
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 5>were yesterday, and if you continually confined little tiny games

495
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.519
<v Speaker 5>within that, you'll be successful. The other thing is is

496
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.400
<v Speaker 5>most people never go all into anything right because they're

497
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:06.640
<v Speaker 5>scared that if they go all in and it's not enough,

498
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.039
<v Speaker 5>that somehow they're not good enough, they're not successful enough,

499
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 5>they're not cool enough, they're not attractive enough, they're not

500
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 5>rich enough, whatever. So therefore they rationalize out why they

501
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.640
<v Speaker 5>shouldn't do it, or why they that's dumb or that's stupid,

502
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.880
<v Speaker 5>or why would I do that or anyone else that

503
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 5>does that. They'll direct a condemnitive narrative around that, or

504
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:31.000
<v Speaker 5>they're selfish, or they're not.

505
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 4>Cool or they think they're all that, or they.

506
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:36.599
<v Speaker 5>Generate this whole projection around that, but really it's a

507
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:41.039
<v Speaker 5>self protection mechanism because guess what, it's better to stay

508
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 5>safe and secure in delusion than to be out there

509
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.039
<v Speaker 5>and exposed in reality.

510
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.119
<v Speaker 3>That's beautiful. That is just beautiful.

511
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I want to make sure that we grab that and

512
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:59.079
<v Speaker 1>push that through all the socials. That's a beautiful, beautiful statement.

513
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 1>And this, like this measuring stick, Mike, my current thing

514
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.359
<v Speaker 1>will be seal fit and my expectation of myself is

515
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.000
<v Speaker 1>to thrive, right, because if I go down there and

516
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:12.519
<v Speaker 1>say I'm going to survive, well, that's like aiming for okay,

517
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and I want to thrive. My measuring stick for this

518
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 1>are these series of things I've been doing. A twelve

519
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:21.039
<v Speaker 1>hour workout, a sixteen hour workout, a twenty four hour workout.

520
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:21.839
<v Speaker 3>But here's the deal.

521
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Wait, is that when I do this, I program it

522
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:25.680
<v Speaker 1>on my own. Well, those are things I'm innately going

523
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:28.119
<v Speaker 1>to put limits of myself. When I invite my friends

524
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:31.279
<v Speaker 1>in and have them kindly show up at three o'clock

525
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 1>in the morning and I am toast and they're brand new,

526
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 1>fresh out of bed, with coffee and pancakes and they

527
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:39.640
<v Speaker 1>show up and say, here's what we're going to do.

528
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 3>This is the next hour and a half of your life.

529
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:45.559
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden, that dynamic changes, and I'm confronted

530
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.200
<v Speaker 1>now with having to pace with another person. We're going

531
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:49.839
<v Speaker 1>to run a five k, You're going to pace me,

532
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>You're going to stick with me, You're going to wear

533
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.039
<v Speaker 1>a kit. I'm not going to wear a kit. My

534
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:57.039
<v Speaker 1>run is going to be easier, you's going to be harder.

535
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:00.160
<v Speaker 1>And that sort of mind game you could call it,

536
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:02.559
<v Speaker 1>is very very functional because they know what's being done

537
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker 1>out of love and very helpful. But that measuring stick

538
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't think happens consistently enough in people's lives. Like

539
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.400
<v Speaker 1>you talked about a husband and wife. I did a

540
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:16.119
<v Speaker 1>show once on marriage. KPIs key performance indicators. The fruit

541
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of the spirit on one access the biblical definition of love.

542
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:22.119
<v Speaker 1>On the other, access do I feel around people the

543
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>fruit of the spirit patients, kindness, joy, temperance, self control, kindness, charity.

544
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 1>And then on the bottom, do I have then the

545
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:35.880
<v Speaker 1>characteristics of biblical love? Am I seeking to serve not

546
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:40.759
<v Speaker 1>be served? Am I not boastful, proud or angry? And

547
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:43.000
<v Speaker 1>if you take a confluence of those things and map

548
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:45.920
<v Speaker 1>that on a chart and talk with one another, how

549
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.160
<v Speaker 1>are we on these KPIs. Now you're getting some sort

550
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:51.079
<v Speaker 1>of measure between one another. You add a third party

551
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 1>to that, like a therapist. Then you have someone else

552
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 1>saying I don't know that you're exactly rated that way.

553
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:01.799
<v Speaker 1>There are people who have special needs kids and this

554
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 1>happens that they have to adjust their expectation for their kids,

555
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.759
<v Speaker 1>and this is really hard for parents. Parents say, well,

556
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 1>my kid's going to be he's going to go to

557
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:12.680
<v Speaker 1>my college and he's going to pursue my profession. And

558
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 1>when they find out the kids have are non neurotypical,

559
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times for parents it can be oh

560
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:19.759
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, and it's a difficult thing.

561
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:21.079
<v Speaker 3>To adjust expectations.

562
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't mean that you stop loving, you stop pushing, stop believing,

563
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>or parents of kids have special needs for them to

564
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:32.799
<v Speaker 1>understand that Alan has it really tough. He's effectively nonverbal,

565
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 1>he has at eighteen operations. He's only fourteen years old.

566
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 4>But he works.

567
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 1>He invents soap. He works at the company in quality control.

568
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:45.640
<v Speaker 1>His brother Ian is impacted by autism. He works, He

569
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.079
<v Speaker 1>contributes Amy who got late on set autism. She's thriving,

570
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.559
<v Speaker 1>helping with social media, et cetera. She was told she's

571
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 1>hirable and the soap is of pristine quality. There's no

572
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 1>way John would put his name on a soap that sucked.

573
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.839
<v Speaker 1>So they researched a family. They found them in the Midwest.

574
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:09.759
<v Speaker 1>They are three generations into the soap crafting world. That's

575
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:12.880
<v Speaker 1>what that's all they do. They took on the fragrances

576
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:15.559
<v Speaker 1>that Alan thought of, that came from special memories for him.

577
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.079
<v Speaker 3>They create those soaps. They're all natural, they're made in.

578
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.799
<v Speaker 1>America to give this to families with kids with special needs.

579
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Partake of the younger kids. It's a side of hope,

580
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and every time they wash their bodies they can remember that. Yep,

581
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.319
<v Speaker 1>our kids too can work. Our kids can contribute. What

582
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:32.599
<v Speaker 1>the word saying is not true. So go to alansaps

583
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.440
<v Speaker 1>dot com slash todd. That's alansaps dot com slash todd.

584
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:42.960
<v Speaker 1>From a Christian perspective, we need to understand something the Bible,

585
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.839
<v Speaker 1>the Holy Bible told us, and this is paraphrasing, things

586
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.279
<v Speaker 1>are gonna get whack. That's not exactly how the Lord

587
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Jesus said it. But look we can read good's going

588
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.039
<v Speaker 1>to be called evil. Evil's going to be good. Men

589
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:55.079
<v Speaker 1>are gonna, you know, depart solid teachings and go after

590
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the false teachers who give them what their itching ears

591
00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 1>want to know. That goes back to that self awaren thing.

592
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:02.640
<v Speaker 1>And also having this measure for me going back to

593
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the Bible. Is this biblical? Are these good things or not?

594
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 3>And I agree with you on these protocols.

595
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.079
<v Speaker 1>In what I have done the like twenty four hours,

596
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:12.680
<v Speaker 1>sixteen ho or twelve hour work is you know what's

597
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the first to give up?

598
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:14.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not my body, it's my mind.

599
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Correct And I found myself from the first twelve hour

600
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 1>workout at about hour nine, I realized my neurological system is.

601
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:24.839
<v Speaker 4>Wigged.

602
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:28.519
<v Speaker 1>I fell asleep swimming and I thank god I was

603
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.599
<v Speaker 1>at a four foot deep pool so I didn't drowned.

604
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:33.599
<v Speaker 1>So what I want to close off with on this

605
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.599
<v Speaker 1>with you've been so kind with your time. I want you,

606
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.359
<v Speaker 1>if you would be so kind, is to help me

607
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>visualize a moment that's coming for me and help me.

608
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Given the success you've had as a competitive athlete, I

609
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:48.920
<v Speaker 1>want you to help me visualize something in just a

610
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:50.680
<v Speaker 1>second and we'll close off with you because I want

611
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.839
<v Speaker 1>everybody to hear you prep us for the moment. The

612
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.000
<v Speaker 1>moment could be asking this person to marry you. The

613
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.000
<v Speaker 1>moment could be quitting a job. The moment could be

614
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.799
<v Speaker 1>asking for a job. The moment could be having a

615
00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:07.400
<v Speaker 1>very tough conversation with your kid. There are going to

616
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:08.079
<v Speaker 1>be these moments.

617
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:11.000
<v Speaker 3>So this as a preface, I want to ask you to.

618
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Do that.

619
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm having this morning. This would be.

620
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, let's see twelfth twenty four. This is my

621
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Alex is laughing by producer Alex. This is my thirtieth ounce,

622
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.319
<v Speaker 1>now thirty second ounce of bone Frog coffee this morning.

623
00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:32.559
<v Speaker 3>This happens to be what do we have downstairs? Goltlocker?

624
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh so the goltlocker is a great, great story from

625
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:39.680
<v Speaker 1>bone Frog Coffee. The goltlocker is a place where enlisted

626
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:42.880
<v Speaker 1>officers in the Navy can go and the big wigs

627
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.559
<v Speaker 1>they can't even come in without knocking. It's a great, great,

628
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:50.079
<v Speaker 1>great tradition. And this is a light roast, French roast,

629
00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.640
<v Speaker 1>light but incredibly rich. It took three years to develop this.

630
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:56.440
<v Speaker 1>That's at Bonefrog Coffee dot com. Slash tad get tempercent

631
00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:59.680
<v Speaker 1>off all the products there, everything comes labeled God Country Team.

632
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Now in this hand is a pretend? Is it sniffer?

633
00:34:03.079 --> 00:34:05.319
<v Speaker 1>What do you all wine people drink? What's the fancy

634
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:08.280
<v Speaker 1>wine things called like wine glass?

635
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:08.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

636
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a fancy wine glass in this hand, a fake

637
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:12.199
<v Speaker 1>one because I don't drink wine.

638
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:14.639
<v Speaker 3>But if it did drink wine, it would have bone.

639
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Frog cellars and I would go and I'd swish it around,

640
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:18.239
<v Speaker 1>and that's called legs.

641
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Does it have legs?

642
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I learned this from my friends who are wine snobs,

643
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:24.159
<v Speaker 1>wine wine experts. It has legs, and then I would

644
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.960
<v Speaker 1>test the bouquete like up my beak. You can do

645
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>that with coffee too. You could also do that with

646
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.039
<v Speaker 1>root beer. You can do that with a blowy sandwich.

647
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why people do it with wine, but

648
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:33.719
<v Speaker 1>they do it.

649
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:34.320
<v Speaker 3>That's what you do.

650
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Then you take a little bit of it and you

651
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 1>drink it. You put it in your mouth, but then

652
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 1>you open your mouth and your nose and you breathe

653
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:45.800
<v Speaker 1>fuck through as you're testing the wine. I think you

654
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:48.440
<v Speaker 1>do that a little bit more aerodype form, a little

655
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:49.400
<v Speaker 1>bit more genteel.

656
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:50.840
<v Speaker 4>See.

657
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't drink wine, but I turn to my friends

658
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 1>who are wine experts, and they tried bone Frog cellars

659
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and were deeply impressed. They had the twenty fifteen Mayor

660
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:01.599
<v Speaker 1>Low and those are the two. I don't know if

661
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:04.760
<v Speaker 1>to say flavors or blends. I don't know types of wine.

662
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:08.719
<v Speaker 1>My daughter tried it. She is not yet legally supposed

663
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to drink, but hey, it's our house. Assue me, but

664
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess you could. She loved it, Suitor her boyfriend,

665
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:17.880
<v Speaker 1>my wife occasion has wine with dinner. She really enjoyed it.

666
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.480

681

<v Speaker 1>I will be in I think it's called Tahano, California.

<v Speaker 1>before this event. I'm not going to kid myself. You said,

685
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:10.800
<v Speaker 1>whole stinking night.

686
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:11.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna get it.

687
00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 1>At four am, I'm gonna take my mushroom breakthrough. I'm

688
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna have my caffeine, I'm gonna have my supplements. I'm

689
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:20.239
<v Speaker 1>going to get onto a campus with most guys twenty

690
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.559
<v Speaker 1>two to twenty four years of age in the Navy

691
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:25.880
<v Speaker 1>intending to be Navy seals. At six am, they're gonna

692
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:29.000
<v Speaker 1>put us into a courtyard and this session is going

693
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.719
<v Speaker 1>to begin. You know what freaks me out the most

694
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:36.320
<v Speaker 1>walking into the parking lot, literally parking the rental car

695
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.400
<v Speaker 1>or taking an uber because I'm not allowed to drive

696
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:41.400
<v Speaker 1>away out to be an uber walking into the parking lot,

697
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know what really freaks him out, Wade is

698
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:45.760
<v Speaker 1>all these young guys looking and going, oh, look at

699
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the old dude, Look at the guy who thinks he's

700
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:51.320
<v Speaker 1>going to get this done. And then it's that moment

701
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:55.440
<v Speaker 1>where Mark Divine, the head coach, starts us out and

702
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:58.039
<v Speaker 1>I know that the first eight hours are about getting.

703
00:36:57.760 --> 00:36:59.920
<v Speaker 3>The people who are easy drops to drop.

704
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I know it, I get it, and yet still in

705
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:06.320
<v Speaker 1>my gut and I'm trying to transfer it into excitement. Waight,

706
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to do that thing that neural linguistic programming

707
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to make it excitement.

708
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Help me with this.

709
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:14.920
<v Speaker 1>You have had to walk on stages and pose against

710
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:19.719
<v Speaker 1>the world's greatest all natural bodybuilders. Just talk me through

711
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:21.480
<v Speaker 1>that moment. Prep me for this.

712
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Well.

713
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.440
<v Speaker 5>I think the first step to go into in any

714
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:31.000
<v Speaker 5>event that you haven't done before is number one to

715
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:36.480
<v Speaker 5>do the preparation beforehand so you're well prepared. In other words,

716
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.679
<v Speaker 5>you've done the training, you've probably got some sort of

717
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:42.679
<v Speaker 5>expert to kind of bring you up to speed. So

718
00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:44.960
<v Speaker 5>don't think that you should go like I think the

719
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:47.360
<v Speaker 5>dumbest thing that you could do is to go in

720
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:50.239
<v Speaker 5>blind and say, yeah, let's just wagness and go for it.

721
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.920
<v Speaker 5>Because what happens is when you get exposed. You can't

722
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:58.480
<v Speaker 5>lean back on all of those experiential trains, the days,

723
00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:01.559
<v Speaker 5>the hours in the gym, the sessions with your coach,

724
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:04.360
<v Speaker 5>the preparation that you've done, whether that's training or lifting

725
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:06.840
<v Speaker 5>or you know, So every time I went into a

726
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.440
<v Speaker 5>competition and you know, you're standing on stage in front

727
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:11.639
<v Speaker 5>of the most critical of it at all, you know,

728
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:14.239
<v Speaker 5>crowd you could possibly have with bright lights that are

729
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.719
<v Speaker 5>designed to show every single flag by your body. It's

730
00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:21.159
<v Speaker 5>the sport of bodybuilding. It's the crazy story. And there's

731
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:24.119
<v Speaker 5>no money in it either. It's not like if I,

732
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:26.599
<v Speaker 5>you know, you're an okay baseball player, you're a millionaire,

733
00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:29.440
<v Speaker 5>you're an okay, you're a great bodybuilder, you're still broke.

734
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:33.039
<v Speaker 5>So it's but subjecting that I can go back to

735
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:36.960
<v Speaker 5>my very first time where I hadn't had that experience,

736
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.960
<v Speaker 5>and I remember that feeling coming up, that anxiety as

737
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.360
<v Speaker 5>you be walking into the parking lot that they'll you know,

738
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.440
<v Speaker 5>it's just like standing backstage and seeing these other bodybuilders

739
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:48.400
<v Speaker 5>and I'm going out on stage to lights from my

740
00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:51.159
<v Speaker 5>first posing and the crowd and my friends are going

741
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:53.360
<v Speaker 5>to be there, and I could get and I remember

742
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:59.880
<v Speaker 5>that feeling came up, and the key is don't fight it, huh.

743
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:01.519
<v Speaker 4>Allow allow it.

744
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:05.960
<v Speaker 5>To come up, allow it to rise up within it,

745
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:11.039
<v Speaker 5>don't suppress it, don't try to fight it, don't say think,

746
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:16.599
<v Speaker 5>don't even think that it shouldn't be there. This is

747
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:22.679
<v Speaker 5>a heightened sense of awareness. This is your preparation and

748
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:24.280
<v Speaker 5>the opportunity to step forth.

749
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:26.320
<v Speaker 4>And if we go back.

750
00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:31.079
<v Speaker 5>In time, we have ten thousand generations within our DNA

751
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:36.480
<v Speaker 5>that had to step into uncertainty, to death, to starvation,

752
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:42.519
<v Speaker 5>to mayhem, to travels to unknown parts of the world

753
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.920
<v Speaker 5>without compasses, GPS's internet, to get on a boat. We're

754
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.679
<v Speaker 5>the product of all it. So you can leverage the

755
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:53.119
<v Speaker 5>thousands of generations before you that is in your DNA.

756
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:57.679
<v Speaker 5>And said, I honor the ancestors of the past, and

757
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:01.239
<v Speaker 5>I honor the ancestors to in the future, and I

758
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:05.199
<v Speaker 5>will step forth to pass this genetic lineage on into

759
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:07.920
<v Speaker 5>the future and to honor that from the past, and

760
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:13.679
<v Speaker 5>walk into the fear, walk into it and surrender into it,

761
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:17.000
<v Speaker 5>because that is what the Lord's prayer says. Yay, though

762
00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:18.960
<v Speaker 5>I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

763
00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.239
<v Speaker 5>I fear no evil because thy rod and thy staff

764
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.840
<v Speaker 5>comfort me. It is the suffering that comforts me, because

765
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:28.039
<v Speaker 5>if I'm in pain, if I am suffering, and if

766
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:32.800
<v Speaker 5>i am nervous, i am I'm still here. I'm still here.

767
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:37.000
<v Speaker 5>Embrace it, walk through it. Don't think that you shouldn't

768
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:41.000
<v Speaker 5>feel that. Everybody feels it. But eventually what separates the

769
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:48.119
<v Speaker 5>people who thrive in those environments is they recognize that

770
00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:51.920
<v Speaker 5>those feelings in those senses are normal. And I can

771
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:55.639
<v Speaker 5>recall a particular interview I think where Jocko Willing captured

772
00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:57.840
<v Speaker 5>this and he talked about they'd be going on a

773
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.480
<v Speaker 5>mission and they have the new guy with them, and

774
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:03.800
<v Speaker 5>just to give you an explanation on an on a

775
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 5>Navy seal mission, there's a voute, a thousand personal checks

776
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:10.960
<v Speaker 5>that you have to do, everything from tying like taping

777
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:14.719
<v Speaker 5>your boot laces, making sure you're like as a professional,

778
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:16.760
<v Speaker 5>that all those guys are counting, because one screw up

779
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:17.639
<v Speaker 5>and people are dead.

780
00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:19.440
<v Speaker 4>I thought that this is the.

781
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:24.639
<v Speaker 5>Highest level of consequence to a tiny thing being at

782
00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:27.360
<v Speaker 5>a place. Then there's about one thousand things that are

783
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.719
<v Speaker 5>mission specific that they have to check, and they're going

784
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:34.239
<v Speaker 5>into you know, where they could lose their lives in

785
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:36.719
<v Speaker 5>that moment or the lives of their friends. And what

786
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.119
<v Speaker 5>he said was, you see the new guy and he's

787
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:41.079
<v Speaker 5>nervous and everything, and the guys and the guys like

788
00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:43.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, they're trying to suppress the nervousness around the guys.

789
00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:47.719
<v Speaker 4>And he says to him, he says, like, hey, it's

790
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:53.119
<v Speaker 4>normal to feel nervous. Eventually, you just get used to

791
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:56.079
<v Speaker 4>it and know that it's part of the deal. Love it,

792
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:57.400
<v Speaker 4>love it.

793
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.599
<v Speaker 5>And eventually, what I've come to learn in my own

794
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:06.079
<v Speaker 5>experience by exposing myself to those situations over and over

795
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:09.639
<v Speaker 5>and over and over again, I don't even call it fear.

796
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:13.320
<v Speaker 5>I call it a heightened sense of awareness in that

797
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:17.880
<v Speaker 5>adrenaline in that that anxiety is me, is it? That's

798
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:21.519
<v Speaker 5>my body preparing to be at its absolute best to rise.

799
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Up to the challenge.

800
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:27.559
<v Speaker 5>And I've failed many times, but I never failed in

801
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:29.880
<v Speaker 5>a way that I cowered out. I did my best

802
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.280
<v Speaker 5>in that moment, and I gave my best. And sometimes

803
00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:36.360
<v Speaker 5>it's not enough. But that's okay because I found my

804
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:40.280
<v Speaker 5>limit today, love it, and from that I can build

805
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:40.679
<v Speaker 5>from it.

806
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:45.199
<v Speaker 1>That's beautiful, so beautiful, Thank you for that. I will

807
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:48.320
<v Speaker 1>contain that I will welcome the fear. I will feel

808
00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:49.280
<v Speaker 1>my body being.

809
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.039
<v Speaker 3>Hyper aware, hyper aware.

810
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:54.199
<v Speaker 1>And in the moment, and I love that. I love

811
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:56.920
<v Speaker 1>that you use the psalms remind us about you know

812
00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:58.760
<v Speaker 1>they do. I walk through the valley of the shadow

813
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:00.719
<v Speaker 1>of death. I'm unlikely to die seal fit and it

814
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:03.679
<v Speaker 1>might happen, but I'm unlikely. That's bad business, usually to

815
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:06.639
<v Speaker 1>kill customers something like that. Yea, brother, Thank you so

816
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:11.519
<v Speaker 1>much for sharing your hearts, your view on current events.

817
00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot of bosses will do that. Thank you

818
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:16.960

<v Speaker 1>young men. We are called to do that as men

820
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.239
<v Speaker 1>of a certain age. And once again I extend the

821
