00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,439
Speaker 1: For over ten years, I've been blessed with the opportunity

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,679
to share conversations with those that have appeared on NBC's

3
00:00:05,919 --> 00:00:09,240
The Voice. It's time to showcase them. Put them all

00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,320

00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,760

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Saro, And this is vocal d frag. Vocal d

10
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:33,119
fragging is taking the time to ask yourself the questions

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,880
and then question the answers. We spend way too much

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,039
time asking other people about Hey, what do you think

13
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:41,880
if I do this? What do you think of I

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,280
do that? I mean, people are consistently coming up to

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,439
me saying, hey, I want to make a career move.

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I just wanted to get your input to find out

17
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:52,159
if I'm doing the right thing. And it's like, have

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,479
you asked yourself that question? You know, I've not walked

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,880
in your shoes. I only assume I know what your

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,439
resume looks like, and it is a resume. I'm sure

21
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:03,240
you didn't know fully prepare that monkey like the way

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,719
that it was lived out. I don't know if I'm

23
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:08,640
that guy. I mean, I'll talk to him, but really,

24
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:11,480
in all honesty, you got to ask yourself the questions

25
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:15,359
and then question the answers. This is vocal def ragging

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,200
today's subjects is pretty interesting because we all do it.

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,400
We're guilty of it, with our kids, with our jobs,

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,319
with our neighbors.

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,719
Speaker 1: This is it.

30
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:28,359
Speaker 2: Come on, I don't have time for this. How many

31
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:31,000
times have you said that? How many times did you

32
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:33,280
mean it? How many times did you feel like that?

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,879
It's like, God, I'm so ef and bored. I just

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,680
need to move on. Come on, I don't have time

35
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,280
for this. What happens if we do find the time

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,599
to do the things that we want to do, or

37
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:46,840
is that even feasibly possible? I mean, my honeydew list

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,840
at the house grows day in and day out, and

39
00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:54,560
my problem is is that I get so far and

40
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:58,280
then the honey adds more to the list, and you're going,

41
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,959
how to do this? Come on, I don't have time

42
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,680
for this. And so what you do is you end

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,800
up spending a ton of money on inviting the professionals

44
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,800
over to do the job and it's a job that, Wow,

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,120
you could have done a better situation in the total

46
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,879
destination of your process of thinking and wanting to get

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,280
into a better location. So it's like this, How often

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,680
do you really mean it when you say, come on,

49
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,520
I don't have the time for this. Do you mean it?

50
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,280
Or are you just trying to escape a moment so

51
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,159
that you can get to someplace else immediately. A good example,

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,879
I'll be in the podcast studio all day tomorrow. Tomorrow

53
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,199
is going to be a balls to the wall kind

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,479
of day. I'm very, very busy. There's going to be

55
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,680
a lot of production, editing, interviewing taking place. My mornings

56
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:46,840
inside that production studio are not sitting around with my

57
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:49,719
thumb up my butt. The goal is to get the

58
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:53,360
job done. And I am very, very very sure I

59
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,800
have used that line a billion times inside that studio.

60
00:02:55,879 --> 00:02:58,439
Come on, I don't have time for this. Well, what

61
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:00,240
happened is I've got to get prepared for a wedding.

62
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,280
Weddings to me and require show prep, just like my

63
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:08,439
podcasting requires show prep for me to do the average

64
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:11,840
wedding four hours, let's say four to six hours. I

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,479
want to have a two week time period where I

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400
am fully one hundred percent in vested in making sure

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,280
that that day has one hundred percent my attention and

68
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:25,759
my professionalism. So when somebody comes along and they say, hey,

69
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,120
I need you to do this, the first thing I

70
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:30,599
do is I take three steps back and I re

71
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,840
observe the situation. Come on, I don't have time for this.

72
00:03:35,479 --> 00:03:37,520
And it's one of those moments where you know that

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,560
if you say that, it's going to affect somebody's attitude

74
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:42,639
toward you, it's going to really get in the way

75
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:45,280
of the relationship. Come on, I don't have time for this,

76
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:47,919
But do you have time for this? Yeah, well, how

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,919
do you have time for that? But you don't have

78
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,120
time for this? You've been there. It happens all the time.

79
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:55,639
So how do you deal with the situation like that

80
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,319
where you have to be able to bridge the gap

81
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,520
and to be able to put yourself in a situation

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360
of growing forward and not weighing yourself down with an

83
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,360
attitude such as, come on, I don't have time for this. Well,

84
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:10,719
you've got to remember there are twenty four hours on

85
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:14,159
the clock. You've also got to remind yourself that you

86
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:17,120
don't play by a clock that your parents had or

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,720
that you had as a younger person. The world is

88
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:22,319
moving too quickly these days, and there are a lot

89
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,439
of demands upon us. If we try to put everything

90
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,000
into a ten pound gunny sat that once held potatoes

91
00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:32,120
or ears of corn, it ain't gonna happen, not in

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,879
today's world. So using that term, come on, I don't

93
00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:38,120
have time for this, it's like, make the time for this.

94
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:44,120
Take the time to really sit down and reevaluate your

95
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,759
situation of choice making. Hey, come on, I don't have

96
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:49,720
time for this. What do you mean you don't have

97
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:52,279
time for this? Because somewhere along the line, I'm going

98
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,319
to see you sitting around binge watching some TV. That

99
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:58,959
right there is time wasteding. You're not getting that time back.

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,439
Use that term I don't have time for this. I

101
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:07,600
invite you to take a bigger chance, and that is

102
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,439
find the time, locate that space, because we are in

103
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,959
a situation where it's no longer always about being the individual.

104
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:21,519
We need each other, we need the collaborations, we need

105
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,120
the support, and we need that little net that's going

106
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,600
to catch us when we let go of that bar

107
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:32,279
high above the circus tent. When you let go, you

108
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:34,199
can't just instantly put your hand up there like a

109
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:35,199
stretching man.

110
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: You're going to fall.

111
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: And so how many times did you say I don't

112
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,600
have time for this, for someone to look at you

113
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:44,560
and say, come on, I don't have time for this.

114
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,399
Think about it, ask the questions, question the answers. It's

115
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:53,000
called vocal defragging.

116
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm Arro
