1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,759 --> 00:00:07,639
yes to creativity totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,160
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged,

4
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:14,759
hey Saro, And this is vocal drag. Vocal dfragging is

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,879
asking the questions and questioning the answers. I actually defrag

6
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:21,320
in two different places in a journal where I put

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,839
my words on paper and I can come back and

8
00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:23,600
study it at.

9
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: Any time, any day, any year.

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: And I also vocal dfrag, which I find to be

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,799
probably a lot more empowering. And the reason why is

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,079
because on a page, you don't hear inflection, pitch, volume, tone,

13
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,520
What about that great pause that comedians always talk about,

14
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:42,119
Because on the opposite end of that.

15
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:43,039
Speaker 2: Is the reaction.

16
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:47,439
Speaker 1: So vocal defragging is very very important to go back

17
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,799
to those moments in your own personal life and journey

18
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,079
to hear how it was being delivered as it was

19
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:58,439
moving through you. This is vocal dfrag a very interesting

20
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:02,920
subject today and it deals with your past. I'm one

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,400
of those people that has spent twenty nine years in

22
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:08,400
a daily journal doing all I can to stay out

23
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:10,040
of my past.

24
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: Because we all have a past.

25
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:13,879
Speaker 1: We all have done things that we don't want to

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,840
talk about, or we've done things that we found victory

27
00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:20,560
in and we feel those were the better days. Man,

28
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:22,280
I want to go back to the good old days.

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,239
My mother said that all the time. I want to

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,120
go back to the good old days. Well, here's a

31
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:32,280
thing your past has already lived. You can't time travel.

32
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,959
And I did some research on this. You can't time

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,120
travel because the energy that would be required to send

34
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:42,519
yourself back is impossible to find.

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: There's no such thing. It's not been invented. So what

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,120
do we do.

37
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: We use our imaginations to take us back into a past,

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,560
and we rewrite it, and rewrite it and rewrite it.

39
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:57,640
We accept it, or we make it darker than what

40
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,599
it really was. So something came to me while I

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,920
was in my defrag written journal today, And that is

42
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:11,879
what you write on a page in your now for

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,000
a future reader. It's a lesson from your past that

44
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,759
they can use today. See, that's not time traveling, that's

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,280
not going back into your past. When I write in

46
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:29,599
my journals, many times i'm guilty of saying, dear future reader,

47
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:33,560
what would happen if we started thinking like that? What

48
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:37,840
we're doing in our place of right now. To a

49
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:42,159
future person, be it yourself or someone else, what you

50
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:46,159
are carrying forward in your right now is a lesson

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,159
from your past.

52
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: And so they grow.

53
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:55,759
Speaker 1: Learning how to live in the present comes with a

54
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:59,599
lot of changes and challenges. Stephen Ferdick of Elevation Shirt said,

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,120
life is mney money, muddy money, marriage is money. From

56
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:10,039
the mud comes a miracle. I don't want to sound

57
00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:13,159
out churchy and preachy on you here, but it makes

58
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,520
you think about where you are in your present day

59
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:20,280
and how you act and react in your present moment

60
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:24,800
of now will have an effect on someone, including yourself,

61
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:28,960
in the future, and you learn from that past lesson

62
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:36,479
who learning that lifestyle comes with chances and choices, and

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,879
when we make choices, that means we're going.

64
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: To be challenged, and when we're challenged we may not win.

65
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Then what do we do well, don't walk away from it,

66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,000
because something that you're living in your now is going

67
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:49,840
to help that future.

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,039
Speaker 2: Yourself learning to put yourself in a position of.

69
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: Decision making based on your now, How will somebody act

70
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,439
the act if I make this decision right now? If

71
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:06,639
you've made a bad decision, there's going to be impact.

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,759
Somewhere down the road. Someone is going to have an

73
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,759
impact from what you did in this moment of now.

74
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:16,759
For instance, like when I'm not in the mood to

75
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:19,399
be at the essential job, and when I'm not in

76
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,560
the mood, oh my god, you should hear the thunder

77
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:28,079
in my soul. I'll give you a good example. Yesterday

78
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,399
when I arrived at the essential job not being in

79
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,720
that moment of now, meaning I was probably stuck in

80
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,959
my past, and I wanted to hang out with my friends.

81
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,120
It was a great looking day with sunshine, the temperature

82
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,319
wasn't too hot. What I did was I pretty much

83
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,000
took it out on somebody else, not in an angry way,

84
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:48,720
but they asked me.

85
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,519
Speaker 2: Well, how's your day going so far today?

86
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Well, you can't do that with me, because I'm going

87
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:55,160
to tell you I was having a great time while

88
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,839
I was at home with my dog. I was writing,

89
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:59,160
I was being creative. I had all these ideas that

90
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,000
were moving through me. And now I feel like I'm trapped.

91
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:05,399
And they started saying, well, you only have to be

92
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,959
here till ten pm. Well you can't say that to me,

93
00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:14,519
because ten pm in my soul is a completely different

94
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,079
time period and place in the world, and I wanted

95
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:20,120
to look at this person and say, you're going home

96
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,439
in five minutes, What the hell do you know about

97
00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:26,000
ten pm? And what it's going to take to get

98
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,319
to ten pm. Those are the things where I need

99
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,560
to say to myself, what did I do in my

100
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,160
past that gave me positive energy when I was feeling

101
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:41,639
as negative as I was. What you're doing in your

102
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,759
now is for a future person to learn from so

103
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,600
they can use it now. This particular coworker that I

104
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:51,480
was talking with, he did hear my voice. We did

105
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:53,839
go into a deep discussion, and I'm sure by the

106
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,279
time I get to that essential job today, the other

107
00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:00,800
managers will know of my feelings and they'll look at

108
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,639
me and they'll think.

109
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: Oh, well, this is who he is.

110
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: What, in fact, who I am is not what I

111
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:13,160
was displaying yesterday, But what I did in that moment

112
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,279
of now has an impact on what is happening in

113
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:23,120
the now. Do you understand when you time travel like that,

114
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:26,920
when you put yourself in a position of understanding how

115
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:30,720
you act and react is going to have weight in

116
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,800
someone else's life in the future. They won't be living

117
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,079
in the past. By the time they receive the word

118
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,720
of what you did in your now, they're going to

119
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,240
use it as a tool or a weapon against you.

120
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:44,720
And what is the presence of now?

121
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:44,879
Speaker 2: Oh?

122
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,399
Speaker 1: I was once known as the overachiever in being positive,

123
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:53,560
but in being that overachiever, sadly people didn't believe me.

124
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,319
They thought I was faking it. I had one guy.

125
00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:59,680
I was at a lecture and I was really selling

126
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:04,240
how beautiful broadcasting is, and he stood up and interrupted me.

127
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:06,399
He says, what are you trying to sell me here?

128
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:09,439
Because you sound like you're a salesperson. You sound like

129
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,560
I have to buy into this, and if I don't

130
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,680
buy into it, I'm not going to have success in

131
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,839
this industry. My answer back was, I'm sorry that I

132
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:21,079
feel like and I'm positive about this. I do believe

133
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,959
in why I'm here and why I'm sharing this with you.

134
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,639
I do believe in the successful career that I've had.

135
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:29,680
I'm very positive about it. But if you want me

136
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,279
to go down those dark trails to tell you about

137
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:34,199
the negatives of what it's like to be a broadcaster,

138
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,040
I want you to do it on your time. Don't

139
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:39,279
do it on the time that others are sharing with

140
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:44,399
you right now. What you do in your now is

141
00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:46,959
going to be a tool for somebody in the future,

142
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,519
be it you or someone else, taking from your past

143
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,319
and using it in their present. Ask the questions, question

144
00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:01,040
the answers. That's deve fraggen. Put it on a sheet

145
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:05,160
of paper, or do a vocal d frag so you

146
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:08,360
can go back and listen to your inflection. Him Meril

147
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:10,000
and that's vocal d frag
