00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:51.320
Davis, and John has lived the
life of an action hero, Um,
11
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.920
quite literally. When you hear his
stories you're gonna be like man, that's
12
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:59.119
pretty cool. But he has been
a professional fight director and stuntman for stage
13
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:04.079
and screen, Um, an artistic
director of three regional three parts theme parks.

00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:10.359
Um, he's a sword fighting comedian
and a motivational speaker, author and
15
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.079
coach. He says that after September, eleventh and two thousand one, John

brought his inspirational message to sixteen countries
around the world, including the front lines
17
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:25.200

Afghanistan, it's gonna be an interesting morning
18
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.359
on six USO tours. So he
is a really awesome guy. Um,
19
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.439
I just the few conversations I've had
with them. I'm so easy to talk
20
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.840
to, a great conversationalist. So
this is gonna be an awesome interview and
21
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.560
I can't wait to have it.
And that's coming up right after this.
22
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.920
Welcome to moving upstream without a path, the podcast that helps develop a mindset
23
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.879
for success. I'm your host,
Dr Garrett Coggins, but most people call
24
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:55.599
me Dr Chet. Now I've dedicated
my life to helping others understand that if
25
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.120
you have the proper mindset, you
can propel yourself up that proverbial stream with
26
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.439
no paddle, needing af you're constantly
feeling like you're going against the flow,
27
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.240
but you're never happy with your results. It's really time to put your mindset.
28
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.919
If that's something that you're ready to
do, you've come to the right
29
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:31.599
place. Now let's get to it. Hello John, how are you doing?
30
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.280
I am doing great, really excited
to be here and I love the
31
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.520
whole theme of your podcast. It
right up my alley. Yeah, well,
32
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.919
I think people are gonna understand that
because you you tackle a lot of
33
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.080
things that I really am passionate about
and but I think you do it in
34
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:53.479
a very interesting way and in your
story. is just that that bio doesn't
35
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.560
do it justice. And so,
Um, I'm really excited for to get
36
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.439
this going. So what I typically
do you, as I told you right
37
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.000
before, is I just give you
center stage, Um, let you talk
38
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.400
about what it is you do,
the why you do it and how you
39
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.520
got there, and we just let
the conversation roll from there. So,
40
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.479
if you don't mind, if you
just would take the mic and just tell
41
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.719
your story, I certainly will.
Thank you so much. Um, when
42
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.360
I was a young man, I
wanted to be Errol Flynn. I wanted
43
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.680
to do sword fights and be Robin
Hood and swing from trees and I always
44
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.879
had a stick in my hand like
it was a sword. And that manifested
45
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.960
into the desire to do sword fights
for film and for stage and I ended
46
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.759
up working at a renaissance festival with
two of the top fight directors in the
47
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.800
country and they saw a lot of
talent in me as an actor and a
48
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.159
combatant and they they they gave me
their train for free. So I started
49
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.759
training to be a stuntman, a
fight director. I was getting my black
50
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.280
belt in Taie Kwondo. I was
very strong and back in those days I
51
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.360
had long fabio hair, as opposed
to this tell us abolist thing I got
52
00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:00.319
going on now. And I was
probably a little later way in. In
53
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.520
fact I guarantee it was a little
later a way. But Um, twenty
54
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.319
two years old, very fit,
very healthy, very strong and working out
55
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.520
on a regular basis, and buddy
mine called me up and said, Hey,
56
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.360
can you come help me unload my
van? So here I was,
57
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.000
stuntman, fight director. He had
a van that was filled with eighty pound
58
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:23.319
boxes of clay and for me that
was like one more workout. I was
59
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.959
like great, I'll go get the
train some more. So I drove out
60
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.000
to his house. He was a
professional potter. That's why he had boxes
61
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.279
of clay and I climbed up into
that van and I picked up that very
62
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.519
first box and I turned to set
it outside of the van and my spine
63
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.839
broke in two and I collapsed.
Um, they took me to the hospital.
64
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.680
Doctor informed me that I had a
condition. On a spin a bit
65
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:51.879
for the OCCULTA, to which I
promptly said Gazuntite. No idea what that
66
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.680
guy I was talking about. But
basically, three of my vertebrae never formed
67
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.560
properly at birth and I never or
knew it until this very day. And
68
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.480
with that extra eighty pounds of weight
and the twisting action to take it out
69
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.560
of the van, my upper spine
disconnected from my lower spine and pinched off
70
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.480
my spinal column. Doctor told me
that day, says, we're not sure
71
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.319
you're ever gonna walk again and even
if you do, you'll never have a
72
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:23.040
physical career, so you better start
thinking about what you can do for a
73
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:29.920
living that doesn't involve using your body. Um, devastating, devastating. What
74
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.199
to some very dark, dark places
in that next few weeks. There and
75
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:39.439
then a buddy of mine came in
and looking back at it, it kind
76
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.079
of looks like a cruel joke,
but it was the best thing he could
77
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.759
have possibly done. Um, he
gave me a book by Bruce Lee called
78
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.879
the Dalve G Kundo, and that
book is an interesting book because it's about
79
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:58.720
his philosophy of martial arts more so
than teaching you Kadas or techniques. It's
80
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.480
more about the mind set of it
and as I started reading through it I
81
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.920
found a couple of things. Number
One, the power of the present moment
82
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.920
and how you only have the one
moment to create your experience. Number two
83
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:16.160
was flexible mindset, being able to
remain flexible in times of adversity. And
84
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.120
the more I read it, the
more I was just really diving into these
85
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.480
these deep concepts. And I found
out later that when Bruce wrote that book,
86
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.920
he himself was in traction in the
hospital and had just been told he
87
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.319
would never do martial arts again.
Um. But I started that day and
88
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.879
I started just not taking the doctor's
belief, taking my own belief and that
89
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.639
day, using my mind, I
started saying, okay, I am going
90
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.199
to be a stuntman and a flight
director and I am going to have a
91
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.160
very physical career, and I started
flexing my neck muscles and I slowly,
92
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:54.360
over the next week, slowly worked
down my back, piece by piece,
93
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.199
flexing all the muscles of my back
and within three weeks I actually was able
94
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.040
to flex my hips, which was
below the injury. So the doctors were
95
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.639
very excited that I was able to
that wasn't gonna be paralyzed. Um,
96
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:14.920
but I was paralyzed for several weeks
and then by thirty five days I was
97
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.240
sitting on the edge of the bed. UH, within the next month and
98
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.800
a half I was walking up and
down hallways. At a year I was
99
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:25.519
back to what I would consider to
be a normal physicality, but not back
100
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.199
to my rock hard masculine self,
thank you very much. But at a
101
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.360
year and six months I had gone
back to the gym, I had worked
102
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.160
out, I had done all the
things and I was back doing very physical
103
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.959
things. And I gave myself a
gift. I climbed up on top of
104
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.560
a three story tower and I jumped
off into a fall pad. And then
105
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.160
I went on to do over four
thousand live comedy sword fighting stunt shows all
106
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.279
over the world, including the front
lines of a rack and Afghanistan, on
107
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.879
six USO tours. I was a
college professor. I worked in movies with
108
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.360
movie stars doing stunts. I uh
at the college. I T taked Libert
109
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.480
in college. I thought stage combat
very physical career. I was the director
110
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.160
of theme park where I not only
trained actors but I also did all the
111
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.480
choreography as well. And then now
I'm I go around the country as a
112
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.399
keynote speaker, showing people my what
I call my five fs, my five
113
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.160
five protocols, basically what they are. Is there the way to hack the
114
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.839
fight or flight response, to shorten
learning curves, increased productivity and reach your
115
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:33.600
goals faster? Yeah, see,
that's like an amazing story and I don't
116
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.159
know, I just told you I'm
really good about going back, but there's
117
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.399
so many places I want to go
with this, but let's let's go to
118
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.840
that, because I think, I
feel like you made a decision and I
119
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.360
think to me, that's the most
that's an important piece that a lot of
120
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.960
people don't do. Like you got
the book, You read the book,
121
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.039
you became aware, you're like,
yeah, okay, cool and and but
122
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.600
then you had that you had to
make this choice and then with that choice,
123
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.120
there's a difference between a choice and
the decision. So you made a
124
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.679
choice, you did the decision and
then you started acting upon it, and
125
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.039
I and that when you're in traction. I mean a lot of people find
126
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:15.399
that daunting, not in tractions.
So let's talk about where you were on
127
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.159
that one because, and I say
this a lot too, when to hear
128
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.159
people's stories and as you go through
the things that you went through, like
129
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:28.919
it sounds so effortless. It was, and I wanted let's build, let's
130
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.559
bring the realism into this. So
you were doing it, you're moving your
131
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.360
neck muscles, but where was your
were you just fuil positivity or what was
132
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.399
going on? Oh No, no, when I when I when I had
133
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:45.759
the accident, I contemplated suicide because
my whole life and toil that point had
134
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.240
been built up to being a stuntman
and a fight director and doing doing sword
135
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.600
fights for a living. That was
my my whole golden life, and when
136
00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:00.240
it was snatched away from me by
someone's decision, you know, and I
137
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.200
say it that way, I don't. I don't consider it and I don't
138
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.639
a firm believe. Let me let
me back up just a little bit.
139
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.159
My my mother, one of the
greatest influences of my life, had her
140
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.919
master's degree in Liturgy at the Catholic
Church, so on, so forth,
141
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.480
and but the greatest lesson she ever
gave me was when I turned eighteen,
142
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.200
she said, John Um, spirituality
is a personal journey and you need to
143
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.639
discover what you believe, not one
of the other believes. Well, that
144
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.200
took me. She hit me at
the perfect time because that took me into
145
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.840
studying everything. I studied Buddhism and
and I started finding all finding all these
146
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.559
correlations and all of it. And
then I found the same correlations in science
147
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.080
and neuroscience. And you said it
yourself. It's that, it's using thought
148
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.240
word. Indeed, those are the
basically what you said breaks down the thought
149
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.000
word indeed. Well, thought word
indeed only exists in your present moment,
150
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.240
whereas they would say in Christianity,
the I am moment. Right, and
151
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.240
then Buddhist says what you think,
you become, you create your world,
152
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.279
and Christmas says you're the culmination of
and thought. The Bible says as a
153
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.200
man Thinketh, so is he,
and Gandhi says you must be the change
154
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.879
you want to see in the world. So they're all saying the same same
155
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.039
thing. Well, well, when
you look at it from a from a
156
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.559
neuroscience standpoint, you've got your your
conscious and your subconscious mind and you're looking
157
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.440
at this thing where your conscious mind
lives in one present moment and that one
158
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.279
present moment is here and now and
it's the only moment you can do.
159
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:28.600
Thought word indeed, the subconscious mind
is all that really is is a collection
160
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.559
of present moment memories that create an
underlying belief. And so the only way
161
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.480
you can change your own subconscious underlying
beliefs is to change your present moment and
162
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.679
make a different choice. When that
doctor, when that doctor said you can't,
163
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.759
I could take his belief and then
stack that present moment in that subconscious
164
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.240
mind, and now I'm creating more
subconscious belief behind what I'm trying to create,
165
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.320
whereas I could instead say no,
I am going to be a stuntman
166
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.600
of the fight. Director. Bible
is whatever you're asking. God's name is
167
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.440
granted. Moses said God's name,
as I am, and so I am
168
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.639
whatever you put after it is what
you are putting your thought, word indeed,
169
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:15.759
behind, which is creative. So
I had to stay very determined to
170
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.440
not take somebody else's beliefs on,
because I'll tell you something else. When
171
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.200
you're lying in a hospital bed and
you're loving family and friends are around you,
172
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.480
they don't want you to have your
hopes dashed and they're going to start
173
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.960
downplaying your dreams because they're gonna start
saying you can't remember, trying you you
174
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.960
not. Doctor said you can't.
You're not gonna be able to. I
175
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.519
couldn't take their beliefs either. Now, if you break it out of that
176
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.600
and you put it into another element
of science, quantum physics, you know,
177
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.200
everything you see is pure energy and
your body is also pure energy as
178
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.399
well. And noetic science is now
showing us that when we think, we
179
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.200
actually can measure the thought waves,
and the thought waves are creative. They're
180
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.120
starting to be able to measure a
creation of thought. And so if that
181
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.480
is the case, that only the
only thing that you can do to change
182
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.720
your present moment outcome is to change
your present moment thought, words and deeds.
183
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:13.440
Yeah, and it really is.
People make it too hard right.
184
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.679
It's that's the problem. I see. I see it's it's far simpler than
185
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.600
we can comprehend and to the point
where it's like, no, it can't
186
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.519
be that easy, let's make it
harder. And it really is. Just
187
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.320
Change Change Your freaking mind, pardon
my language, just change your mind.
188
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.399
Just change your mind. You know
you your mind, your thoughts are the
189
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.759
creative element, and the interesting thing
is it's thoughts, words and deeds.
190
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.080
What got me out of the bed
was I thought it, I said it
191
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.799
and then I did something about it. If you don't marry all three,
192
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.519
then you're not in creation mode,
you're in daydream mode. Yeah, well,
193
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:58.080
that's the very valid point there,
because we talked about well, there's
194
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.840
there's a choice to make, the
decision to make, and your decision is
195
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.399
not made. In my mind,
it's not made until you do some actions
196
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.679
behind it. That's that's what sets
that decision in motion. So is the
197
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:15.399
deed. and Um, and you're
right, we do. We don't comprehend
198
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.519
this idea that if we just make
a different choice, that's all it is.
199
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.919
Just. Well, no, yeah, that that. That's really really
200
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.440
all it takes. But I want
to do that and I feel like,
201
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.240
because that's the awareness, like we've
been told our lives that life isn't easy
202
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:31.519
and this and that, and it's
not, but it's it's really not.
203
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.120
There's always trial, tribulations and things
that we're gonna go through. I'm not
204
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:41.320
saying that you know that the journey
there is going to be simple, but
205
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.600
it's just what you choose, that
the story you choose to tell yourself.
206
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.840
And I love how you were saying
like I could buy into the belief of
207
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:54.480
the doctor and just go down that
road or I can I can write my
208
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.879
own story and I you know,
I talked to people a lot with people.
209
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.000
They have anxiety, they have this, they have that. Well,
210
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.320
the reason why you get the anxiety
piece, and again, I'm not saying
211
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.519
that anxiety is not real, it's
very real. But when you can choose,
212
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.360
you you know that trigger, when
you're aware of that trigger, what's
213
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.039
causing to go down that anxiety path, and you can say no, I'm
214
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.720
gonna choose to do something, think
something different, go into a different direction,
215
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.720
your anxiety does a steamroll the way
it does because you've made this new
216
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.039
choice to go into a different direction. And it's the same with everything,
217
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:33.200
and you're a perfect example with what
you did and how you overcame the what
218
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.240
the doctor was telling you to where
you're at today. Right. And you
219
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.960
know, the word anxiety is really
just one of the masks of the word
220
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.639
fear. It's just fear, right, and the interesting thing about fear,
221
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.200
that's fascinating to me is fear is
is not rooted in your present moment,
222
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.559
because fear, when you break it
down scientifically, is an emotional reaction to
223
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.320
some future event that may or may
not happen with you focus on a negative
224
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:02.679
outcome. It literally is negatively focused
on certainty. And it's interesting because that
225
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:07.840
fear of response comes with a natural, primal response that that we we can
226
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.159
hack into right away. Um,
the interesting thing when you talk to actors
227
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:17.279
on Broadway or in Hollywood, if
they step on set or on in front
228
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:21.399
of camera or in front of an
audience and they forget their lines, they
229
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.000
are literally trained to Exhale, relax
all their muscles and all their lines rush
230
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.559
right back into their ad well,
the reason this works is because it's just
231
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.159
like if you you know, when
you watch National Geographic shows on TV,
232
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.440
you know that every episode has that
doomed Gazelle Right, it's out there in
233
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.120
the field eat and grass from right
and then all of a sudden that the
234
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.519
lion hits the field, first thing
the gazelle does is go the gas for
235
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.080
air. Well, when you get
into anxiety, you feel like you can't
236
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.480
breathe, and the mistake that people
make is thinking they can't, quote unquote,
237
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.679
can't breathe. It's not that they
can't breathe, is that their body
238
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.600
has filled their lungs up to the
point where where they can't put more air
239
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.039
in, you know, and the
reason your body does this in a primal
240
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.680
reaction is so that you have enough
air to run further and faster. That's
241
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:14.319
why the body does it. When
those actors exhale and relax all their muscles,
242
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.400
they shut off the fear response and
which opens up the which shuts down
243
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:23.119
the survival response, which then also
then turns on the cognitive thinking brain.
244
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:27.880
And so just that that action of
realizing that you're in anxiety, realizing that
245
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:34.359
you're in stress, realizing that you're
being negative and just relaxing and letting it
246
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:42.279
go shuts down all the responses that
are built from that fear response. You
247
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:47.240
know, when you look at there's
an interesting there's an interesting to tap into
248
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:52.279
that spiritual background again, Um Buddha
in Buddhism. One of the most famous
249
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.079
Buddhist quotes is life is suffering.
We talked about life is hard right,
250
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.480
and the interesting thing about it is
is that quote was translated from the language
251
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.160
of polly, which is a conceptual
language, into English, which is a
252
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:11.000
literal language, and so it literally
can't translate the Word Duca into one translation
253
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.599
in English. So there's three translations
in the dictionary under Duca, all right,
254
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.720
and the first translation, and you're
gonna love this, first translation,
255
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:27.119
is pain or suffering, the second
translation is habitual response and the third translation
256
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:36.480
is Um beliefs from experience. So
when you put the whole concept together,
257
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:42.160
the definition of Ducca in polly is
like and the Buddhist quote is life is
258
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:51.200
suffering caused by habitual response because of
our subconscious belief. And you have the
259
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:57.279
ability to break the subconscious belief just
by starting to stack present moments differently.
260
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.359
And you know Jesus this would say
be born again right or something like that.
261
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.599
But it literally is set down your
subconscious beliefs, because your subconscious mind
262
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.519
really has two jobs. One to
store those memories, but also your subconscious
263
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.880
mind shows you what you're focused on, which is why negative people always have
264
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.880
something before, always have something negative
to talk about, because they're focused on
265
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.759
negative. So there's subconscious mindy showing
them negative. And the interesting thing about
266
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.640
that is, for instance, I
haven't I'm a jeep guy. I love
267
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.519
jeeps. I have one of my
garage right now. I've had six of
268
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.960
them in my lifetime. When I
drive down the road, I see every
269
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.400
jeep on the road right everyone because
my subconscious mind says, Hey, he
270
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.960
likes jeeps, let's focus on jeep, let's show them jeeps. But if
271
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:47.680
I focus on positive then I start
to see positive things. And the key
272
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.759
really is is to take your present
moment and make it as successful and as
273
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:55.960
positive as you can and just start
stacking present moments. Because here's the other
274
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.640
thing. Lying in that bed,
I couldn't say today I am a stunt
275
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.680
man, because it's not gonna happen
that way right to you know, that
276
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.920
big John Daunting goal does not magically
appear in your present moment. The only
277
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.000
thing that that goal, like future, is is a place where you set
278
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.119
goals for your present moment, for
your next present moment, and the only
279
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.559
way that giant outcome comes to you
and surrounds your present moment experience is billing
280
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.000
to doing the small, successful present
moments here that are in alignment with it.
281
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.480
So when I got out of that
bed, I started with my neck
282
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.440
and then I did my shoulders and
my my upper back and I slowly worked
283
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:34.799
my way down piece at a time
and as those things started stacking together,
284
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.519
next thing you know I was jumping
off towers and sword fighting and Zip lining
285
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.240
and rope swinging and you know,
I was working with famous movie stars and
286
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.920
doing all the stunt work that I
that I told myself I was going to
287
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.799
do. But it was only by
stacking small, successful present moments and allowing
288
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.960
them to accumulate that I experienced all
that success. Yeah, and I love
289
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.359
I say that. I say here
a lot of time too. The the
290
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.319
end, the overarching goal, that
sea level type goal, that that thing
291
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:10.519
we're going for. People look at
that as that's the only success. Once
292
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.240
I reached that, I had successes
and like you need to stop thinking that
293
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:17.359
way. You started doing the daily
things and I tell my kids all the
294
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.920
time. My I was just talking
to my son, Um, I want
295
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:23.079
to say. It was on Sunday. It was on Sunday, and he
296
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.359
was saying, I think too far
in the future. I was like,
297
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:27.400
what do you mean by that?
He says, well, because he really
298
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:32.119
wants to be in NFL. That's
his his goal is I want to be
299
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:33.920
in NFL. He said. Well, you know all my friends, he's
300
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.599
now in high school. They're starting
to think about what college they want to
301
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.680
go to because they want to play
football at the college. And say all
302
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.559
I can think about is just the
NFL. I was like, well,
303
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:47.440
that's it's good, but you're right, it's detrimental in the aspect that that's
304
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.319
your complete goal. You have to
stack your success daily, reverse engineer that
305
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:56.960
and say what can I do today
to get me one step closer to that
306
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.440
end result? And then once you
do that, once you accomplished that activity,
307
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:04.400
say there's my success, and then
tomorrow you wake up he's like,
308
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.880
I score yesterday, right, I
have my success yesterday, so today is
309
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.319
going to be just as good because
now I'm coming off of that high of
310
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:17.039
a success. So all these successes
is, I think, with Nightingale said
311
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:19.839
that, you know, success is
nothing but this progressive realization of a worthy
312
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:22.960
ideal or a worthy goal, and
that's what we're doing. We're just going
313
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.880
for daily and that's what living in
Analomians keep the goal in mind, but
314
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.240
don't don't sacrifice them today's moment,
because it's just today's moment. It's gonna
315
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.640
get you there right. Right,
and your son, your son is looking
316
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.839
at a very physical career. Right, so I can totally relate to that
317
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:41.519
because that was my whole thing,
was one of the very physical career.
318
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.680
Now I would say this is what
I would say to your son. Okay,
319
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:51.240
these moments are creating the foundation for
success in that moment, and so
320
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:56.359
the only way you can have a
successful that moment is by being the better
321
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:02.599
NFL athlete here. You know,
in orders, go into the gym and
322
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:07.039
start getting your bench up, start
squatting more, you get your physicality because
323
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.519
your body brustally. When he when
he decided to to become his one of
324
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.400
his goals in life was to be
the greatest martial artist that ever lived.
325
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:18.359
Right. That was one of his
biggest goals. And the interesting thing is
326
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.160
the first thing he did was he
said, well, my body I need,
327
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:22.960
I need to have if I'm going
to do that, I need to
328
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.880
have the body of the greatest martial
artists that ever lived. So he started
329
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:33.000
studying nutrition and he and he invented
the protein shake that we all that everyone
330
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:34.440
is now. There's all kinds of
protein shakes out there now. He was
331
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.279
the guy who originally did it and
it's interesting because when you look at the
332
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:41.880
business model of that, he he
was studying nutrition. He thought, well,
333
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.039
I need to reduce my carbo hydrate, I need to increase my protein
334
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.480
so that I can build the muscle
Muscos here that I need to be this
335
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.440
martial artist. So he started studying. Said I think powdered milk and egg
336
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.839
white and liver tablets. I'll crush
them up and he created this protein shake.
337
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.279
Tasted nasty but he did it every
day. But then a guy named
338
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.200
Steve Reeves saw him doing that and
said well, I want to do that,
339
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.240
and Steve Reeves went on to play
Hercules and all the old nineteen six
340
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.559
movies. You know, one of
the most is one of the most famous
341
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.240
bodybuilders of all the toime of our
time. And then, Um, these
342
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.359
this Austrian guy came over and he'll
what're you doing? Right and Arnold and
343
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.200
all his guy started out. And
then a guy named Rio Blair saw that
344
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:30.240
these bodybuilders were using these things called
protein shakes and he created the protein shake
345
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.920
industry and that went off and created
this amazing thing. So just even the
346
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:41.000
concept that Bruce at his starting point
went here, I am, I'm gonna
347
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.039
be the greatest martial artists that ever
lived. So the first thing I have
348
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.920
to do is study nutrition, which
just you know, that's not being the
349
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.200
greatest martial artists that's ever lived.
At studying nutrition. Right. Well,
350
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.039
just just the idea that he did
that. What what did else? Did
351
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.039
it spawn? Just it's the greatness
of Bruce Lee is not necessarily that he
352
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.839
became the greatest martial artists that ever
lived, but he spawned so many more
353
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.279
things in his lifetime just because he
was staying very present and doing things very
354
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.119
effectively. If you go to any
gym in the country right now, you're
355
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:17.480
gonna find cable machines that Bruce Lee
invented because he had parts of his body
356
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.880
that he had to hit for martial
arts the bodybuilders weren't hitting. And so
357
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.279
it's really fascinating when you look at
by staying very present, setting a big
358
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.200
goal and doing things, there's gonna
be ancillary benefit to everybody around you.
359
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.359
And so if your son wants to
be in the NFL, I would tell
360
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:38.480
I would say build the foundations first
and watch how everything around you gets better.
361
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:45.400
Yeah. Well, I think the
point that you touched on are are
362
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:52.319
extremely important. That we can you
can say all day long I am a
363
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.920
stunt person, I am, I
am, I am, and that's a
364
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.000
very powerful statement. Right. That
gets it gets the power. But then
365
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.880
what? Who is that? Who
is that person? Who is it that
366
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.119
I have to become, to be
a stunt person, to be the greatest
367
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.200
martial artists, to be an NFL
star, to be who is that person?
368
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.119
And then you have to start looking
at okay, and then who I
369
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:19.680
am right now, right, what
what is missing from that, from that
370
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.920
algebraic expression? Right, I need
to get something to be in line with
371
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.119
WHO that person is and and then
say, okay, cool, well,
372
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.759
I have these traits, I have
these characteristics that these are in line with
373
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.279
that goal that I want. But
this isn't. So now we have to
374
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:41.160
replace and restructure and re engineering to
get to that end goal right, right,
375
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.839
and that is precisely why I do
not believe in affirmations Um, because
376
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:51.079
I think the word affirm itself means
that I'm suring something up that's not solid.
377
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.240
And I believe declarations. And you
know, I could be I could
378
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.880
be a guy who's a hundred and
fifty pounds of her weight and I can
379
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.599
say all day I am a thin
man, but I still can't see my
380
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.759
shoes right, I still can't see
them right. So I can't believe it.
381
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.759
And thought, word, indeed starts
with thought, and thought is believe
382
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.319
or faith, faith in your outcome. You know, I talked about five
383
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:21.200
episode about fearlessly. Focus with faith. We talked about getting fearless, setting
384
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:25.720
our fears aside, focusing on a
positive outcome and believing we're going to achieve
385
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:29.160
it. Right. Well, if
you if you can't see your shoes,
386
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:33.039
you can't believe that you're a thin
person. So you can't affirm that you're
387
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:36.799
a thin person when you're not,
because your belief or allow you to get
388
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:40.480
fear to see. Focused with faith. The next one's follow through. You
389
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:45.319
actually have to make start stacking those
present moments, start, start putting them
390
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.599
in place so that they can create
the experience you're looking for. Right.
391
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.240
So, but you have to have
that belief. Now here's the interesting thing
392
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:59.279
is sometimes you have to bypass your
your belief, because belief is simply trust
393
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:04.000
and trust is developed by results over
time. And to get that belief,
394
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:08.400
that faith, you sometimes have to
stack your present moments and start seeing results
395
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:12.720
to get that that confidence, that
believe. So sometimes you can bypass it,
396
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:15.079
but if you can get right to
that belief element. You know,
397
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.559
when I was lying in that bed, I had to I had to believe
398
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.279
I was going to be a stunt
man for me to get out of that
399
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:23.680
bed. I had to come bring
to that place. But every day I
400
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:30.400
flex my neck or my and then
when I flex my hips, then I
401
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:36.039
knew I was doing because I got
past the injury. The doctors weren't sure,
402
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:37.920
but I was like no, I'm
gonna and I did right. So
403
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.359
you have fearlessly focus on faith follow
through. The next one is the tough
404
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:45.680
one. It's the one that most
people lose their their their momentum on,
405
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.759
and it's it's flexibility. Something's always
gonna come up, it's gonna seem contrary
406
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:56.200
to what you're trying to achieve and
in those moments you have to realize that
407
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.920
you're focused on a positive goal and
something has just come up. This seems
408
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:02.960
like it's going to block it.
Well, what did I say earlier?
409
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.920
I said your subconscious mind is going
to show you what you're focused on.
410
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:08.359
Well, if you're focused on a
positive goal and something comes up it seems
411
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:12.839
to be a blockage, then the
reality of it is you are being shown
412
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:17.720
something that needs to be cleared out
of the way to get to your goal,
413
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:19.839
not something that's going to stop you. And so you have to stay
414
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:25.400
in the mindset of of of this, Oh, great, something I'm up
415
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:26.799
for me to fix, because it's
just one thing to be out of my
416
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.119
way. Right. Brucel used to
talk about being like water. You flow
417
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.440
down the river, you come to
a rock, you flow around it,
418
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.200
you flow over and over time you
actually flow through it. It'll the water
419
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.079
will beat that rock over time.
And but the reality of it is is
420
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.200
you have to be the one who
says, in times of Adversity, in
421
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.880
times of Struggle, oh, it's
just something I have to deal with to
422
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:55.039
get to my goal, because I
am getting my goal period. Yeah,
423
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.400
yeah, and it's the tenacity right
there that's gonna get you to where you
424
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:07.839
need to be. Do you have
the next big thing, that world changing
425
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.119
which McCall it? Do you have
a story to tell? You need a
426
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.599
website, you need the web spinners
at Webin in with big picture solutions,
427
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:22.319
weaving together Seo, stellar web design
and social media integrations. You'll find yourself
428
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.440

or telling that next chapter in your story.
429
00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:30.440
Why? Because your audience is ready
for it. Looked them up today
430

431
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:48.119
If you're finding value in this podcast, you should really check out where
432
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.839
it all began. See, I
wrote the book moving upstream without a paddle
433
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:57.119
as a God to develop the foundation
for successful mindset. Learn what I believe
434
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.200
to be four of the most fundamental
prince supposed to find success in any endeavor.
435
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:07.039
If you apply these principles in your
own life, you will indeed find
436
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.599
that you can move up stream with
no peddle needed. Get it on Amazon
437
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:19.039
today. Law of attraction, all
that stuff. They're like these these you
438
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.640
know, ten dollar words or that
everybody is saying. Everyone's like, Oh
439
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:27.200
yeah, but there's pieces like they
don't do the research. Like I firmly
440
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:32.200
believe in the law of attraction.
Right, the universe is gonna take and
441
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:36.559
step towards you if you take a
step towards it like you. There's for
442
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:41.079
every action, every action, there's
an equal and opposite reaction. If I
443
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.279
just sit on the couch saying I'm
going to be a stuntman and that's all
444
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:47.440
I'm doing, well, you're gonna
be the best couch stunt man I've ever
445
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:52.279
seen in my life. That's exactly
where you're gonna stay. So it's every
446
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.000
action you have, there is action
that has to be involved. And if
447
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.880
you're not taking those steps and and
the follow through and then understanding like that's
448
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:06.079
yes, that's a nasty it doesn't
matter what comes your way, I'm getting
449
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.720
that goal. And so what?
What's this blockage? What's this hurdle?
450
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:13.319
I can go up, over,
around it, through it, whatever it
451
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.680
looks like. They're just steps along
the way, no matter how big.
452
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:20.680
Sometimes they're hard steps, sometimes they're
big steps. You know, I climbed
453
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:24.519
Mount Sinai and I climbed up what
they call the three thousand steps of repentance,
454
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.119
and the steps is a very grand
word for what they really were.
455
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:37.079
It should have been the three thousand
pile of rubble of repentance whatever. But
456
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.559
some of some of those steps were
real tall and some of those steps are
457
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:44.720
real small and some of we're easy
to step up and something we're hard to
458
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.319
step up. And then the more
you climb and the higher you get,
459
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:51.759
you get to the just before you
start at one o'clock in the morning,
460
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.200
because you reach the top at sunrise. And I can guarantee you, as
461
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:58.319
you're climbing up those rocks they get
harder and harder. Even the small ones
462
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:00.920
get hard and then about an hour
are so before sunrise, it gets really
463
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:05.079
dark on the side of the mountain. It is darkest before the Dawn,
464
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:09.240
right and so then you just get
really focused on the next step and you
465
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:13.960
just do the next step and those
hard times and those dark times you focus
466
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.680
on the next step and when you
get the next step, then, oh
467
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.799
guess what, there's another step and
you take the next step and you just
468
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.359
keep climbing until you get to the
top and watch the sunrise. And that's
469
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:27.599
the way life is. You're gonna
have a constant flow of steps that are
470
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.440
coming to you and some of them
are gonna be tall and someone are gonna
471
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.000
be small, and some of them
are gonna be easy and some of them
472
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:37.359
are gonna be hard. And it's
not a matter of whether or not there's
473
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:42.720
there's steps that are coming that are
big or not. It's your choice as
474
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.440
to whether they're insurmounting more or not, and you have to stay in the
475
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:51.160
mindset that everything is surmountable. Everything. I conquer everything. I am an
476
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.599
achiever and I go back to that
that one phrase that you know, whatever
477
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:59.039
you ask in God's name, is
granted. Moses talked to the burning Bush
478
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:02.079
and the burning Bush literally said,
when he asked his name, I am
479
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:07.359
so anything you put after I am
and put full faith in, belief in,
480
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:12.119
is literally what you're creating into your
experience. And so when you get
481
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:14.760
that moment, people ask me all
the time they say think they well,
482
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:15.880
they say to me all the time, I think I'm on the wrong path,
483
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:21.360
and I say you're thinking about this
wrong there's only one path, and
484
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:24.000
the path that's created every time you
put your foot down, because you're the
485
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:28.840
one creating your experience. The Path
is just just what's behind you that you've
486
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:34.280
done right. And when you finally
realize that that you get to turn your
487
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.559
path wherever you want to go.
I mean, this is gonna this next
488
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.159
piece. Something I'm about to say
sounds like I'm bragging. I don't want
489
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:43.840
it to feel like that at all, because it's not where it's coming from.
490
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:46.960
Um, I have been to thirty
countries around the world. I've worked
491
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:51.719
with Brad Pitt and David Duchovny and
movie stars. I have done over four
492
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.559
thousand stun shows. I've been on
the front lines of a rack Afghanistan.
493
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:58.000
I climb out Sinai Climb Machu Picchu. So I'm in the bluelue goods of
494
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.280
Iceland. I have been in the
pyramid of Giza by myself. I have,
495
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:06.199
I have, I have cleaned up, I have, I have,
496
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:08.440
I have, I have, I
have done more things than most people will
497
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:14.400
ever do in ten lifetimes. And
it's only because I know what I'm talking
498
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:19.400
about, because I know that I
can sit there and declare my life and
499
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:22.800
just put my small thoughts, words
and deeds into action and they will show
500
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:28.920
me exponential growth and amazing things.
And I've done it, and I've done
501
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.000
it for you know, since I
since I was twenty two years old.
502
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:36.400
I'm now, Um, right,
I don't know, fifty seven. Very
503
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:38.760
proud of it, right I,
and I'm not stopping now. You know,
504
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:42.480
every day I get up and there's
still something new that I learned.
505
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.119
You know, I don't know.
There's a there's a concept that I hear
506
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:50.840
in business all the time. They
talk about mastery, and mastery to me
507
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.960
is a very interesting thing because I
don't believe in such thing as mastery,
508
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.679
because mastery, when, when somebody
says mastery, what they think of is
509
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:06.840
UM skills, proficiency. They know
everything of one one uh technique or one
510
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.079
style or something. They're a master
of that style, they're a master of
511
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:14.920
that technique. But the reality of
it is is they're gonna they've they've learned
512
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.639
everything that can be learned up to
that point and then someone's gonna come up
513
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:21.480
behind them, is gonna learn everything
that they know from that that point and
514
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.800
then they're going to improvise and they're
going to explore new things and they're going
515
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:29.840
to add to the art form or
the technique or and so who's the master
516
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:32.599
now? The Guy who knows up
to that point or the guy who's now
517
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.360
expanding and going taking it to the
next level? So every day, you
518
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:40.519
know, I do whips and Numb
chucks in my corporate speeches and I,
519
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:44.519
like I said before we went on
the air, I actually take someone from
520
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.599
my audience and using my techniques and
under five minutes they learned to crack a
521
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.159
whip and take targets out of my
hand. And you know, it's all
522
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:55.039
by shifting their mindset and getting rid
of their fears and getting them just taking
523
00:36:55.320 --> 00:37:00.159
very present moment actions. But the
interesting thing is I have to look at
524
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:06.559
that that moment and say, okay, the way they're doing this is by
525
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:10.719
the concepts that I teach and this
teach that those concepts break them out of
526
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:15.880
those fear cycles, puts them into
this this moment of achievement and put them
527
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:23.199
on this pathway. And if you
can take your moment and just realize it's
528
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:28.719
the only thing that you really have, your moment is the only thing you
529
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:32.320
really have and you put all your
thoughts, words and deeds in the same
530
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:38.360
direction, your mastery of life is
the fact that when you are moving forward,
531
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:44.000
your life is ever expanding and ever
growing. And I go outside every
532
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:47.800
day, every day with whips and
Numb Chucks, and I play with my
533
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:52.519
whips and Numb chucks every day and
I expand on them and I try new
534
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:58.320
things and I sometimes I whack myself
in the head. Sometimes I whack myself
535
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:01.960
in places. I don't want to
talk about this right but but, but
536
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:06.280
I do whip, I do nunchucks
and I do tricks with my feet and
537
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.920
I do things where I wrap spin
them around my neck and let them slide
538
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:13.519
down my arms and I do all
these things that you never see nunchucked people
539
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:21.159
do, because I continue to explore
and improvise and experiment. It's the same
540
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.760
thing with whips. I do something
with whips every day because I'm trying to
541
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:30.880
explore, an experiment, and there's
no such thing as mastery. There's only
542
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:34.800
such thing as growth, and all
you have to do is take your your
543
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:39.800
life and realize your life is ever
expanding and the second you stop expanding is
544
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:43.920
when you will you will drop into
something else, which is called stagnation.
545
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.760
And it's just like water in nature, water going downhill, flowing, full
546
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:50.880
of oxygen, in a life,
very healthy. Think that same water and
547
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:53.039
put in the PUDDLE. It turns
poisonous and bugs lay their eggs in it.
548
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:57.760
You know, life is motion.
You've gotta keep moving. Yeah,
549
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:02.039
I'M gonna go back a little bit
because I'm gonna tie some cases together.
550
00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:06.480
As you were talking, I started
connecting some dots and I just got this
551
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.119
this visualization in my head. But
you were talking about climbing these steps where
552
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:13.960
some are easy and some are harder, and then you you wanted to say
553
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:19.320
how you can teach people, through
your Um your techniques, to you know,
554
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.760
in five minutes, to crack whips
out of your crack, crack targets
555
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.159
out of your hand. And I
was thinking about this is, as you're
556
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:30.119
going to the journey right and you're
going for your goal and you become aware
557
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:31.840
and you're in that moment, sometimes
you come look at the steps that you
558
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:36.000
have to climb and realize you can
skip a few of them, like I
559
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:37.840
can just jump, I can jump
a few, and it was bringing me
560
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:43.760
to price purciase books you squared,
where he talks about there are times that
561
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.559
we can actually skip a few a
few runs of the ladder and make quantum
562
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:52.519
leaps, and a lot of people
can't think of visualize the idea that in
563
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:58.039
five minutes, I can take a
whip and be so proficient enough to take
564
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:01.079
something out of someone's hand. Well, we can in when you practice these
565
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:05.920
techniques right and you're implementing things,
because, again, we're doing work and
566
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:10.199
it's not the work sometimes it's just
implementing techniques and tactics that you learn that
567
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:15.280
you through reading, through training series, through motivational speaking, whatever that was
568
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:21.239
like, where you can skip those
steps and you can become proficient and a
569
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.880
short amount of time. And I
think that's that should encourage people that it's
570
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:30.039
not always it doesn't always have to
be one step at a time. It
571
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.320
just has to be implementing things on
a continuous basis, constantly showing up and,
572
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:40.239
as you were saying, movement,
constant movement, consistent, constant space,
573
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:44.559
repetition. You just keep going,
keep doing, keep going, and
574
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:46.159
you're gonna end up. You will
end up where it is you want to
575
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:51.760
be right and let me, let
me kind of share the process of taking
576
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:54.679
someone through that whip thing, because
I think you're gonna find it fascinating.
577
00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:00.480
I choose the most timid person I
can find in my audience on per us
578
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:05.480
because if they do it, they're
gonna have a life changing experience and if
579
00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:07.679
they do it, their peers are
gonna go, Oh my God, I
580
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:10.760
can't believe they did it and they're
gonna have experience too. So I get
581
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:14.639
that person. I bring the most
timid person I can find to the stage.
582
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:16.880
Now, sometimes that means I'm bringing
them on stage in front of thousands
583
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:22.119
of people. Right. So me, as a leader in this process,
584
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.039
I'm like, okay, I know
that they're they're afraid of being in front
585
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:28.159
of these people, they're afraid of
being judged, they're afraid of them not
586
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.800
liking them or loving them or approving
of them. So as I walk on
587
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:32.960
stage, the first thing I have
to do is I have to get them
588
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.679
on a new purpose. So I
walk on stage, the first thing I
589
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:38.880
say to them I say thank you
so much for coming up here, for
590
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:42.360
helping me, because you know,
this is gonna be Great. We're gonna
591
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.760
be able to really teach some things
today. So I've given them a new
592
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.000
purpose. Then I turned to the
audience and I say, isn't she a
593
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.559
rock star? And I get the
audience got whoo cheering for so I've already
594
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:55.920
taken the fear away that they're not
gonna like her, because I started with
595
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.800
them liking her right then I started
saying saying, you know, just relax,
596
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.079
we're gonna be an easy it's gonna
be very easy. So I'm keeping
597
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:06.559
her in a in a calm mindset. I said, do you have any
598
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:09.599
hobbies, and this she use yeah, and eventually I leave the conversation to
599
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.400
fishing. I said, have you
ever? Have you ever gone fishing?
600
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.880
And sometimes they say yes, sometimes
they say now. I said, well,
601
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.679
you know, look today, let
me just show you the the the
602
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:24.320
easiest way and the most effective way
to cast a fishing rod and she said
603
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:28.320
okay, and she's totally fine with
it. And I walk over to the
604
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:30.480
other side of the stage and I
pick up a bull whip and I walked
605
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:35.559
back to her with a bull whip. Right. So now we've been talking
606
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:37.840
about fishing. Now she sees a
whip. So her new thought is,
607
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:40.320
Oh my God, it's a whip, I'm gonna hurt somebody or I'm gonna
608
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:44.960
hurt myself. And before she can
even let her mind go there, I
609
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.880
say to her it's we're going to
treat it like a fishing rid. It's
610
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:51.719
it's just a fishing ride, same
action. Don't worry about it, you're
611
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:53.960
just gonna you're just gonna go fishing. So I keep her in the mindset
612
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:58.159
of fishing before she can get deeper
into it even more. I turned to
613
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.039
the part of the audience where she's
facing and I say, Hey, you
614
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:06.280
guys over here, everybody will make
a fish face and like this. So
615
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:10.400
now now she's got half of an
audience looking like idiots. Right. She's
616
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:15.239
she's laughing at them because it's very
funny. You know, they're no longer
617
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:19.360
the people she's worried about. Judging
her because they look ridiculous. Right.
618
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.400
And then I said to her,
I said, just choose much fish you
619
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:27.360
want to catch and caster fishing rod. Right, and she catch fishing rod
620
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:31.199
and the whip cracks. I said
that was great. Catch another fish and
621
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:35.840
crack, and she cracks the whip
again. Right. So then I go
622
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:37.800
over and I pull a target out. And what the targets are there?
623
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:43.679
Their Pretzel Rods, because they make
a great little crack and they throw pieces
624
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:45.639
all over this age. It's great. Cleaning crews don't like it, but
625
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:51.559
I think it's great. So I
pull the target out and I say the
626
00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:54.679
first being the leader guiding her through
the process, I know the first thing
627
00:43:54.760 --> 00:44:00.079
she's gonna come to is her fear
of hurting me. So the first I
628
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:01.360
do, and this is a this
is a little nor linguistic trick, I
629
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:06.159
pull on her hypnosis. Nor linguistic. I say to her, did you
630
00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:09.039
hear it crack? Did you hear
it crack? And she says yes.
631
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:14.199
Now what I've just done is I've
anchored her success to a to a plosive
632
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:17.800
sound. So did you hear it
crack? Yes, and then I do
633
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:22.000
what's called a hypnotic wipe. I
do a hand swipe and well, this
634
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:24.119
suggesture everyone in the world does.
If you were listening to this in the
635
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:28.920
PODCAST, I'm taking my hand and
I'm just swatting it down like like I'm
636
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:31.280
swatting a fly downward, and we
all use this gesture in life. Naturally,
637
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:37.519
somebody gives us a really effusive compliment
and we get embarrassed. We go
638
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:43.360
stop and we throw our hand down
right. This is a natural gesture.
639
00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:46.119
Remake. But in hypnosis they call
this a wipe and what they do is
640
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:51.400
they go you anchor on the positives. So so you did. You hear
641
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.119
crack, and then I do the
wipe. So you already know how to
642
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:58.880
make it crack. And right behind
the wipe, where I've just cleaned away
643
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:02.280
all the junk, I put in
exactly what I wanted to think. So
644
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:07.760
you already know how to make it
crack. So now I'm positively reinforcing this
645
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:09.039
moment. So now she's going,
Oh, yeah, you know, I
646
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:13.679
don't look a crack. So now
I know her biggest thing is is hurting
647
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:17.239
me. I follow that right up
with I promise you're not gonna hurt me.
648
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:25.480
Sometimes you just got a lot of
people. I'm okay. When you're
649
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:32.119
guiding somebody through fear and you're the
leader, your job literally is to meet
650
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:36.159
them where they are and bring them
along. So for me, I have
651
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:38.800
to realize it's not her, not
my experience, it's hers, and so
652
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:43.559
I have to go there and I
have to look at her process from the
653
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.719
idea of she's afraid. Well,
the first of my fiveps is fear.
654
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:50.480
So I want to get her out
of that. First thing I do it
655
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:52.920
that you don't want. I promise
you're gonna take a breath, relax,
656
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:57.679
and I get her to exhale.
Right, I said, all I want
657
00:45:57.719 --> 00:46:01.440
you to do is just look right
here and cast your fishing rod and she
658
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:06.239
goes caple and she hits the target
out of my hand. Everything every time.
659
00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:09.440
It's the fear that limits you.
It's the fear that that's going to
660
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:13.119
be constant in your life. It's
the fear that's going to stop you from
661
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:15.760
from taking the action and following through. It's the fear that's going to take
662
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:20.159
you to tell you they don't have
faith. You have to be leveraging and
663
00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:22.880
managing your fear on a regular level
and on every step of the way,
664
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:27.800
and if you're not willing to take
the moment of leveraging that fear. And
665
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.519
the reason she went from never having
done something to being in front of thousands
666
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:35.400
of people cracking whips and then taking
targets out of my hand is because of
667
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:39.320
the fact that we managed her fears
all the way along and then took her
668
00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:44.280
belief. Now I want to back
up a little bit. So earlier on
669
00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:46.639
I said, did you hear it
crack? Did you hear it cracked?
670
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:52.719
That moment is a very interesting moment
on a neural standpoint, because what I
671
00:46:52.800 --> 00:47:00.079
actually did was I shortened her learning
curve from learning a skill to knowledge of
672
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:04.079
a skill by shifting her out of
learning the skill. And it's like you
673
00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:08.119
were just saying earlier about you know, sometimes we can take great leaps and
674
00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:12.280
get to that next level. The
same thing what I just did to her
675
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:15.159
was I took her from weeks of
training with a whip before she hit a
676
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:22.760
target two seconds just by shifting her
mindset. But the interesting thing about hypnosis
677
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:28.920
and or linguistics, none of it
works. All it is is is uh,
678
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:36.239
technical. Um, what's the word
I'm looking for? Oh, convincing,
679
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:40.159
technical convincing. I'm technically convincing her
how to do something right, but
680
00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:45.800
she's the one who was convinced.
None of those things would have happened if
681
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:49.000
she didn't herself take it and say, yeah, I'm going to do it
682
00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:52.239
right. So, but people will
put a lot of faith into other people
683
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.199
what they're saying to them. That
doctor said to me, you know,
684
00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:59.639
you'll never get out of this bed. I could have put a lot of
685
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:02.679
faith in at he could have convinced
me. I just didn't let him and
686
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:07.800
with her, by by her letting
me convince her in that couple of seconds,
687
00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:12.599
that she already knew how to crack
a whip. It took me months
688
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.639
to learn how to do it.
Well, you know, but she learned
689
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:20.199
in seconds just because of the fact
that she was able to take that leap
690
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:24.320
and go to the next place.
Yeah, uh, we could go on
691
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:29.440
for days. We're right at right
at time and I think it's a really
692
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:34.000
good place to lead off because we've
gone through everything right. But the key
693
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:37.719
at this point is managed the fear, because we're always going to face it
694
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.880
when we go out there and we
start off thinking yeah, we're gung hope,
695
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:44.920
but the fear it will come it'll
it'll happen. It always does,
696
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.960
and so just manage that, continue
to take the action can just always have
697
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:52.199
the movement and have the belief,
the faith in yourself that you can't do
698
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:57.320
it, we can do it.
Anybody can write and so and with your
699
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.760
story, it just it's it's just
another one of those and so many out
700
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:04.920
there that are. You're not the
only one and you never will be and
701
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:09.440
you're not the last one that's gonna
be able to take their mind and utilize
702
00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:14.000
it as a tool to progress them
forward out of any situation that they're really
703
00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:15.400
in. And so I think this
is a really good place to lead off.
704
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:22.079
But I really want Um because just
hearing your story about that, I'm
705
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:27.599
sure there's be some business owners out
there or whomever that wants to have you
706
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:30.119
as a keynote speaker, because that
would just be cool stuff right there.
707
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.800
So how can people get in touch
with you if they want to utilize that?
708
00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:37.280
The easiest way to get a hold
of me is corporate action hero Dot

00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:52.679
time coming on. Oh, it's
been an absolute pleasure. I Love I
743
00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:57.480
love talking to somebody who who is
also follically challenged like I am. And
744
00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:00.599
Uh, I mean we look like
we could be brothers. It's kind of
745
00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:07.000
crazy when you look at the screen. When we have the pre interview,
746
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:12.159
we got on like, oh look, weird twins. That this kind of
747
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:15.599
crazy. But yeah, it's been
great and I love getting into conversations with
748
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:20.800
somebody of like mind as well.
So it's been a wonderful, wonderful experience
749
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:23.199
for me. All right, awesome. Well, thanks again and all your

listeners out there. Thank you for
consistently showing up. Is that's again.
751
00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:32.960
We talked about the actions in the
movement and then consistently showing up and keeping
752
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:37.880
yourself this interjected in the topic is
really going to help you there as well.
753
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:40.199
