1
00:00:00.151 --> 00:00:03.653
You have a line, a quote, we've forgotten what we've forgotten.

2
00:00:03.913 --> 00:00:04.453
What does that mean?

3
00:00:04.654 --> 00:00:12.438
We are completely in some type of delusional state where we don't even remember who we are, where we are, where we come from.

4
00:00:12.718 --> 00:00:15.560
We don't have a clue of our origin story.

5
00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:18.041
And because of that, how do you have purpose?

6
00:00:18.161 --> 00:00:23.602
Today's guest is Cherven Jafari, wellness entrepreneur, health expert, and co-founder of Symbiotica.

7
00:00:23.742 --> 00:00:29.204
He spent years exploring nutrition, longevity, and the deeper connection between the mind and body.

8
00:00:29.464 --> 00:00:39.466
In this conversation, Cherven shares his approach to health, the daily habits that shape our energy and longevity, and why taking control of your own health could be the key to unlocking your highest potential.

9
00:00:39.586 --> 00:00:42.467
Well, we are at a point in history where it's never been more comfortable.

10
00:00:42.547 --> 00:00:46.709
But that's creating dysregulation uncomfortability underneath.

11
00:00:46.809 --> 00:00:53.111
We don't want to feel all these comforts when deep down inside, it's robbing us of who we are.

12
00:00:53.151 --> 00:00:54.112
How do you heal the world?

13
00:00:54.192 --> 00:01:02.455
We want it to be a knowledge-based movement where we're creating individual sovereignty within the household through the parents and kids.

14
00:01:05.147 --> 00:01:07.108
My fitness pal is a success story partner.

15
00:01:07.329 --> 00:01:09.830
Now, everybody wants more energy.

16
00:01:09.890 --> 00:01:11.371
Everybody wants better sleep.

17
00:01:11.452 --> 00:01:16.995
Everybody wants to feel sharper during the day, to not hit that wall in the afternoon where your brain just checks out.

18
00:01:17.476 --> 00:01:18.937
And people try a lot of things to get there.

19
00:01:19.157 --> 00:01:24.921
So new routines, new supplements, better sleep habits, more coffee, less coffee, all of the above.

20
00:01:24.941 --> 00:01:31.145
And some of that stuff works, but the single biggest lever you have for how you feel on any given day is what you eat.

21
00:01:31.566 --> 00:01:33.127
It's not the most exciting answer.

22
00:01:33.387 --> 00:01:36.590
Nobody's making a viral reel about eating lunch, but food is the foundation, right?

23
00:01:37.010 --> 00:01:42.635
Your energy, your sleep, your weight, your recovery, how you perform at work, how you feel when you get home.

24
00:01:43.096 --> 00:01:45.958
It's the one input that touches everything else.

25
00:01:46.158 --> 00:01:49.221
Now, the problem is that most people have no idea what they're actually eating.

26
00:01:49.241 --> 00:01:50.222
They have a general sense.

27
00:01:50.282 --> 00:01:54.526
They can say, I eat pretty healthy, okay, but how much protein are you getting?

28
00:01:54.686 --> 00:01:56.347
And how does that break down across your day?

29
00:01:56.667 --> 00:01:57.888
Are you eating enough in the morning?

30
00:01:58.148 --> 00:01:59.629
Are you stacking everything at night?

31
00:01:59.929 --> 00:02:01.450
Those details matter a lot.

32
00:02:01.730 --> 00:02:06.173
And you can't answer those questions without logging what you eat and looking at the data.

33
00:02:06.193 --> 00:02:11.556
And that's why I use the MyFitnessPal app, because you log what you eat and it shows you exactly what's going on.

34
00:02:11.676 --> 00:02:14.938
Your macros, for example, that's just your proteins, your carbs, your fats.

35
00:02:15.158 --> 00:02:16.458
those are broken down by grams.

36
00:02:16.558 --> 00:02:18.599
And on premium, it breaks those numbers down by meals.

37
00:02:18.619 --> 00:02:27.161
So you're not just seeing one number for the day, you're seeing what breakfast looks like versus lunch versus dinner, and that changes things because your body doesn't run on daily averages.

38
00:02:27.481 --> 00:02:29.181
It runs on what you give it right now.

39
00:02:29.501 --> 00:02:44.205
The food analysis, another great feature, it shows you patterns across the week too, where things are consistent, where they start to drift, and you're gonna notice how well you eat impacts your energy and why you wanna stay consistent, and when you don't, why you start to feel like you're hitting walls

40
00:02:44.545 --> 00:02:45.166
in the afternoon.

41
00:02:45.426 --> 00:02:46.367
Now the food logging.

42
00:02:46.507 --> 00:02:48.889
This is where a lot of people think it's gonna be a whole thing.

43
00:02:49.109 --> 00:02:49.550
It's not.

44
00:02:49.770 --> 00:02:52.532
For example, I can say what I ate out loud.

45
00:02:52.552 --> 00:02:54.734
There's a voice logging feature and it's done.

46
00:02:54.795 --> 00:02:57.457
Or I can scan a barcode of something I ate, two seconds.

47
00:02:57.737 --> 00:03:04.684
There's also a meal scan where I just point my camera at a plate and the app captures exactly what I ate and all the macronutrients.

48
00:03:05.084 --> 00:03:08.166
And MyFitnessPal has the largest food database out there.

49
00:03:08.447 --> 00:03:10.368
So whatever I'm eating is already in it.

50
00:03:10.788 --> 00:03:12.730
And it remembers what I eat regularly.

51
00:03:12.850 --> 00:03:15.812
Also, it connects with over 40 fitness apps and wearables.

52
00:03:15.832 --> 00:03:20.036
So everything goes into one spot, all of my health, wellness, and nutrition.

53
00:03:20.336 --> 00:03:33.386
So if you have been trying to figure out why your energy dips in the afternoon or why you're not sleeping as well as you used to, or why you just feel off and you can't put a finger on it, look at your food first before you buy another supplement or you try some other hack.

54
00:03:33.786 --> 00:03:36.008
The answer is usually in nutrition.

55
00:03:36.308 --> 00:03:42.992
And this is the easiest way that I found to actually see what's going into your body and track it and pay attention to it and improve it.

56
00:03:43.253 --> 00:03:44.834
So do yourself a favor.

57
00:03:45.114 --> 00:03:48.456
Go to podcast.myfitnesspal.com and use code Scott.

58
00:03:48.816 --> 00:03:51.018
That's S-C-O-T-T, all uppercase.

59
00:03:51.318 --> 00:03:54.440
That gives you 15% off MyFitnessPal Premium.

60
00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:57.682
One more time, that is podcast.myfitnesspal.com.

61
00:03:58.002 --> 00:03:58.723
Code Scott.

62
00:03:58.763 --> 00:04:01.705
That's giving you 15% off MyFitnessPal Premium.

63
00:04:07.482 --> 00:04:08.804
Shervin, thank you for coming on.

64
00:04:08.844 --> 00:04:09.605
It's good to be here, Scott.

65
00:04:09.625 --> 00:04:10.526
I'm excited to do this.

66
00:04:11.867 --> 00:04:13.770
You have a line, a quote.

67
00:04:14.791 --> 00:04:16.493
We've forgotten what we've forgotten.

68
00:04:16.833 --> 00:04:17.374
What does that mean?

69
00:04:18.095 --> 00:04:27.146
That means that we are completely in some type of delusional state where we don't even remember who we are, where we are, where we come from.

70
00:04:27.806 --> 00:04:34.534
It's become so evidence-based that we don't have a clue of our origin story.

71
00:04:34.915 --> 00:04:37.017
And because of that, how do you have purpose?

72
00:04:37.077 --> 00:04:44.626
We're just kind of running around like, you know, moss around the light and just, you know, everyone's fighting each other for scarcity and all this kind of stuff.

73
00:04:45.327 --> 00:04:46.947
It hits me from a visceral level.

74
00:04:47.027 --> 00:04:47.648
I feel it.

75
00:04:48.388 --> 00:04:54.469
It's like a tangibility of our soul has been lost in this material matrix.

76
00:04:54.529 --> 00:04:55.870
And it's heavy.

77
00:04:56.610 --> 00:04:58.630
So that line, it just hit me one day.

78
00:04:58.650 --> 00:05:00.431
I'm like, we've forgotten what we've forgotten.

79
00:05:00.471 --> 00:05:02.731
Why are we even here?

80
00:05:03.191 --> 00:05:08.793
Do you think, are you talking on, and you're probably talking both, but are you talking on a macro scale, like the timeline?

81
00:05:08.853 --> 00:05:09.053
Is it

82
00:05:09.733 --> 00:05:11.475
as a species we've forgotten?

83
00:05:11.595 --> 00:05:13.916
Or are you talking on an individual level?

84
00:05:14.097 --> 00:05:14.497
They're both.

85
00:05:15.117 --> 00:05:16.398
You forgot where you came from?

86
00:05:16.418 --> 00:05:17.399
It's individual, right?

87
00:05:17.739 --> 00:05:19.801
But the individual is the macro, right?

88
00:05:19.821 --> 00:05:21.442
It's like 100 monkey effect.

89
00:05:23.624 --> 00:05:28.287
Everyone's feeling a little bit disconnected from what the hell this is.

90
00:05:29.008 --> 00:05:31.349
Sometimes I wake up, I'm like, what are we doing?

91
00:05:31.370 --> 00:05:38.395
It's just we're chasing so many things and we've been kind of fed a design template that...

92
00:05:39.275 --> 00:05:41.637
uh, is entropic, if you will.

93
00:05:41.717 --> 00:05:43.538
It's not creating harmony.

94
00:05:43.778 --> 00:05:51.003
And, you know, obviously we gotta, we can't put our head in the sand and, you know, just sing kumbaya and namaste.

95
00:05:51.223 --> 00:05:55.786
It has to be done with some type of, uh, metric of evaluating what's happening.

96
00:05:56.446 --> 00:06:00.809
And so like my, my, my background is I'm going to discern everything, you know, and contemplate.

97
00:06:01.109 --> 00:06:01.890
Very introspective.

98
00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:02.290
Yeah.

99
00:06:02.310 --> 00:06:03.151
Very introspective.

100
00:06:03.431 --> 00:06:04.411
But where did that come from?

101
00:06:05.012 --> 00:06:05.372
I don't know.

102
00:06:05.752 --> 00:06:06.012
God.

103
00:06:06.493 --> 00:06:06.893
Yeah.

104
00:06:07.293 --> 00:06:12.237
But was there like everybody who is on a journey and is a little bit introspective?

105
00:06:15.260 --> 00:06:17.682
I feel like they can trace it to like something that happened.

106
00:06:17.702 --> 00:06:17.902
Of course.

107
00:06:18.122 --> 00:06:18.883
Yeah, of course.

108
00:06:19.334 --> 00:06:27.760
And usually the sad thing is it's the person who has been able to achieve some level of success too, where they now have the ability to be a little bit more introspective.

109
00:06:27.820 --> 00:06:37.827
And I think that's actually probably the person who is always stressed about money and the next level or at a much earlier stage paying rent and the mortgage and just surviving.

110
00:06:37.847 --> 00:06:37.947
Yeah.

111
00:06:38.587 --> 00:06:40.049
Look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

112
00:06:40.089 --> 00:06:51.379
It's very hard to have self-actualization or introspection if we forgot, we forgot, if we're always trying to play this game that everybody's playing.

113
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.141
So I want to understand how you got to that point.

114
00:06:54.922 --> 00:06:58.323
And we're going to talk about how that led to business and what you're working on now.

115
00:06:58.343 --> 00:06:59.583
But how did you get to that point?

116
00:06:59.603 --> 00:07:02.984
Because that alone is great advice for a lot of the audience that listens to this.

117
00:07:03.604 --> 00:07:04.444
Very entrepreneurial.

118
00:07:04.985 --> 00:07:05.885
Very ambitious.

119
00:07:06.905 --> 00:07:08.285
Very few have introspection.

120
00:07:08.606 --> 00:07:10.626
And sometimes the introspection only comes later.

121
00:07:10.886 --> 00:07:13.907
Once they've had the exit and the introspection leads to some very scary...

122
00:07:14.687 --> 00:07:33.495
uh realizations that they've been neglecting a large portion of their life for way too long and what this actually manifests as is like broken relationships poor mental health poor physical health no spirituality kids hate them whatever it is so you're young you're successful hopefully the rest of your life didn't have to fall apart for you to get to this point i don't think it did

123
00:07:33.855 --> 00:07:34.696
I had some moments.

124
00:07:34.916 --> 00:07:37.497
But tell me, so where did you get, because you're very spiritual.

125
00:07:37.858 --> 00:07:39.418
I want to understand how you came to this place.

126
00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:43.741
I respect everything you just said, by the way, because there's a lot to unpack there.

127
00:07:44.081 --> 00:08:01.172
You know, and I think that this like go, go, go entrepreneur motivation energy that you see on social media right now, there's some good to that, you know, because it's like time to get off your ass, make some connections, find your people and build that beautiful circle.

128
00:08:02.132 --> 00:08:11.214
and kind of shed the energies of, you know, heurism, whatever they call it, you know, because that's just a negative feedback loop that's just causing so many problems.

129
00:08:11.975 --> 00:08:16.376
I think for me, I, you know, I just came from a family that had gone through so much.

130
00:08:16.776 --> 00:08:20.577
You know, my parents immigrated from Iran in the late 70s.

131
00:08:22.097 --> 00:08:23.158
The revolution happened.

132
00:08:23.238 --> 00:08:24.279
They couldn't go back.

133
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.180
I was born in the 80s.

134
00:08:26.561 --> 00:08:31.264
And that gave me some context to what pain and tribulation is.

135
00:08:31.985 --> 00:08:36.989
Imagine your entire family is left behind, and you're in a foreign country.

136
00:08:37.269 --> 00:08:39.751
I'm American-born Persian, first generation.

137
00:08:40.471 --> 00:08:58.237
seeing that, evolving in that household, you know, and seeing the struggles that my parents had to go through, not being with their family, not being connected to their purpose in this foreign place that didn't have the culture that they're used to, an ancient country that was, you know, everyone was like coming to our home.

138
00:08:58.257 --> 00:08:59.498
It was like that type of style.

139
00:09:00.238 --> 00:09:03.502
And so I felt that viscerally at an early age.

140
00:09:03.562 --> 00:09:05.584
It was like it was apparent and I knew it.

141
00:09:06.245 --> 00:09:18.037
And I think that shaped me as far as how I wanted to take a look at my lifestyle and, you know, my purpose around this life and know that I'm not going to just be a cog in the wheel.

142
00:09:18.638 --> 00:09:20.400
I'm actually going to do something here.

143
00:09:21.020 --> 00:09:31.064
And then mentorship at an early age and then being introduced to, um, kind of my spiritual architect, which is Dr. Rudolph Steiner, who created Waldorf education and biodynamic farming.

144
00:09:31.244 --> 00:09:33.965
I learned that cosmology at age seven or eight.

145
00:09:34.385 --> 00:09:35.245
That's very young.

146
00:09:35.325 --> 00:09:35.845
Very young.

147
00:09:35.885 --> 00:09:36.185
Yeah.

148
00:09:36.205 --> 00:09:36.946
It's a heavy shit.

149
00:09:37.106 --> 00:09:38.006
It's, it's heavy.

150
00:09:38.066 --> 00:09:38.786
It's powerful.

151
00:09:38.906 --> 00:09:39.567
It's a trip.

152
00:09:39.827 --> 00:09:40.867
You know, I look at it now.

153
00:09:40.887 --> 00:09:42.528
I'm like, wait, did I go through that?

154
00:09:42.728 --> 00:09:48.930
Like, cause sometimes it appears in like a visual or a dream and I'm like, yeah, I'm living it, you know?

155
00:09:48.970 --> 00:09:49.230
And it's.

156
00:09:50.831 --> 00:09:52.052
I don't know.

157
00:09:52.172 --> 00:09:52.993
It's not a religion.

158
00:09:53.013 --> 00:09:54.875
It has nothing to do with anything like that.

159
00:09:54.915 --> 00:10:01.160
It's just more of a way to contemplate life and to step out of that false ego and that false narrative.

160
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.703
And of course, I fell for the same traps as everyone else.

161
00:10:04.843 --> 00:10:11.909
And I jumped into the competition ego with sports and growing up in Southern California.

162
00:10:11.929 --> 00:10:12.810
I grew up in La Jolla.

163
00:10:13.191 --> 00:10:13.371
There's a

164
00:10:15.092 --> 00:10:19.475
You know, I grew a chip on my shoulder and I wanted to be the baddest motherfucker.

165
00:10:19.635 --> 00:10:25.719
You know, like we all go through these arcs and I think it's like a character arc in our life.

166
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:26.780
And then I got humbled.

167
00:10:27.741 --> 00:10:31.303
I got humbled hard, you know, and I went through a lot, you know, and I.

168
00:10:31.923 --> 00:10:38.065
I went through disease with my father, my best friend, my soulmate, my like literally the water of my life.

169
00:10:38.225 --> 00:10:41.526
You know, he was both masculine and the feminine archetype for me.

170
00:10:41.566 --> 00:10:42.146
Very safe.

171
00:10:42.826 --> 00:10:43.646
He was my safety.

172
00:10:44.046 --> 00:10:45.487
My mom was very dangerous for me.

173
00:10:45.667 --> 00:10:47.627
You know, I didn't, I couldn't trust that energy.

174
00:10:47.688 --> 00:10:49.108
Very volatile relationship.

175
00:10:49.728 --> 00:11:12.403
And so I went through, I went through, you know, hell and back and we all have, you know, and, but I was present in those experiences, you know, I was present to like, say, this is not going to dictate a new trajectory of life for me where I'm going downhill, where I'm taking this trauma and putting it off on the next person, someone at the traffic light or my, my girlfriend or whatever, cause that comes out all the time.

176
00:11:12.423 --> 00:11:15.765
And I, I just started investigating human nature, you know, started working.

177
00:11:16.265 --> 00:11:22.608
learning about Jungarian philosophy and understanding how the mind works and how trauma works and the gut-brain axis.

178
00:11:22.688 --> 00:11:26.310
And that took me into physiology and it took me into biochemistry.

179
00:11:26.350 --> 00:11:27.431
It took me into science.

180
00:11:28.151 --> 00:11:44.860
I think what I've done is I've been able to merge the ethereal, which is that spiritual energy, whatever we want to call it, the quantum field, with that dense material, understanding how the body works, how the soil works, how mineralization works, how all these things work, and find a happy balance in between.

181
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:49.842
And that's been almost the driving force of everything that I do.

182
00:11:50.502 --> 00:11:53.444
And then also learning nonviolent communication, you know.

183
00:11:53.784 --> 00:11:55.505
And that was a key for me.

184
00:11:55.965 --> 00:11:59.487
Where, like, I don't get offended by anything.

185
00:11:59.907 --> 00:12:02.348
You know, I just, because that's when you give your power away.

186
00:12:03.048 --> 00:12:14.514
And that starts to, like, really enhance your business attributes, you know, your ability to move out of poverty conscious and out of scarcity mentality and lack.

187
00:12:15.014 --> 00:12:27.684
Those characteristics, in my opinion, are seeds or spells that have been casted upon someone from a traumatic experience that they might have taken on from their parents or, you know, being in your mother's womb.

188
00:12:28.545 --> 00:12:30.066
What was she feeling at that time?

189
00:12:30.446 --> 00:12:31.547
Was she feeling alone?

190
00:12:31.988 --> 00:12:33.229
Was she feeling trapped?

191
00:12:33.349 --> 00:12:36.491
Was she feeling like she's, and this is very common.

192
00:12:36.671 --> 00:12:39.614
And these have been studied through epigenetics and through theta training.

193
00:12:39.654 --> 00:12:42.096
Dr. Bruce Lipton did a whole thing on this, a good friend of mine.

194
00:12:43.096 --> 00:12:50.378
There's just so much stuff here that it could sound really heady, and this is like, what is this guy talking about?

195
00:12:50.818 --> 00:13:04.440
But at the end of the day, it really just starts to make sense for you when you can get out of your left brain and just start opening up the realms of possibility, and then you have a whole brand new life.

196
00:13:05.001 --> 00:13:11.402
I want to tell you a message that I usually, like I regularly speak about on this podcast,

197
00:13:12.402 --> 00:13:18.785
What you're doing, you're taking a message that I've, without any kind of research or formal understanding, just felt to be true.

198
00:13:19.245 --> 00:13:20.865
And then you're taking it a whole level deeper.

199
00:13:20.945 --> 00:13:31.469
So I always speak about how a lot of what we perceive to be possible in the world is sort of implanted into us from our parents.

200
00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:38.452
So if they, even on a very fundamental level, if, for example, you're,

201
00:13:38.572 --> 00:13:40.995
Your parents are nine to five.

202
00:13:41.295 --> 00:13:42.416
They have a certain income.

203
00:13:42.436 --> 00:13:43.677
They have a certain lifestyle.

204
00:13:44.358 --> 00:13:47.081
It's very hard for you to imagine anything differently than that.

205
00:13:47.261 --> 00:13:48.342
Like that is your reality.

206
00:13:48.903 --> 00:13:59.573
So for a lot of people, especially in the entrepreneur world where, you know, you want to build something and you want to take big risks and you want to build and you want to try something that's never been done before.

207
00:14:01.775 --> 00:14:06.337
the majority of the thing that's stopping you from doing it is your own limiting beliefs.

208
00:14:06.497 --> 00:14:06.857
Yes, sir.

209
00:14:07.377 --> 00:14:08.638
And it's not like heady.

210
00:14:08.698 --> 00:14:10.058
It's like, it's okay.

211
00:14:10.078 --> 00:14:22.924
So for example, if your parents only made 60 grand per year salary and you are trying to build a company, it's very hard for you to imagine how you could make 60 grand a month or 60 grand a week or 60 grand an hour.

212
00:14:22.944 --> 00:14:23.524
That's right.

213
00:14:23.984 --> 00:14:25.204
Your reality has to change.

214
00:14:25.224 --> 00:14:30.366
So this is why all these cliches, you know, you have to widen your circle, build your personal board of advisors.

215
00:14:30.386 --> 00:14:32.406
You're the average of the five people you surround yourself with.

216
00:14:32.446 --> 00:14:34.667
These are, these are real things that actually help.

217
00:14:34.827 --> 00:14:47.590
I mean, even from myself moving from a smaller town in Canada to Toronto down to Miami and my business is like exploded because you see what's possible and you see the potential, but you're saying it's on a much deeper level than that.

218
00:14:47.730 --> 00:14:55.178
Well, I'm agreeing with the concept that limiting factors are reinforced through childhood.

219
00:14:55.859 --> 00:14:59.463
But it's not just psychological and your experiences.

220
00:14:59.503 --> 00:15:00.845
It's on a genetic level.

221
00:15:00.925 --> 00:15:02.366
It could be on a genetic level.

222
00:15:02.687 --> 00:15:04.829
And it's been proven that there are.

223
00:15:04.929 --> 00:15:06.130
And I don't mean that you're...

224
00:15:07.031 --> 00:15:10.734
your rabbit hole or you're stuck in that position because of your genetics.

225
00:15:10.934 --> 00:15:16.698
It's just, there is an energy that is trapped in the genetic DNA.

226
00:15:16.859 --> 00:15:25.185
There's a fabric in there that if your parents have gone through whatever trauma that they've gone through, that is in the coding.

227
00:15:25.265 --> 00:15:26.085
It's in the mind.

228
00:15:26.265 --> 00:15:27.026
It's in the bones.

229
00:15:27.086 --> 00:15:27.767
It's in the marrow.

230
00:15:27.827 --> 00:15:29.188
It's really fascinating.

231
00:15:29.968 --> 00:15:33.491
It takes you out of anything that you thought could be possible, but

232
00:15:34.071 --> 00:15:37.354
And it breaks down barriers of quantum physics.

233
00:15:37.695 --> 00:15:49.125
And so I think the best way to put this is your potential to expand outside of anything you experience from your household, which is that biology of belief.

234
00:15:49.765 --> 00:15:56.048
is really just you, you know, throwing yourself at the mercy of God and saying that I'm worth it.

235
00:15:56.588 --> 00:16:00.290
And it's the highest act of self-love, you know, is like you want to break through.

236
00:16:00.330 --> 00:16:03.792
And this whole thing about monetary success and monetary gain.

237
00:16:04.712 --> 00:16:08.113
I think is a symptom of doing something powerful.

238
00:16:08.133 --> 00:16:09.754
Does that make sense?

239
00:16:10.154 --> 00:16:11.475
I think you mentioned it earlier.

240
00:16:11.555 --> 00:16:19.878
It's seeing your parents happy in a happy marriage, making $60,000 a year, having a roof over your head.

241
00:16:20.618 --> 00:16:22.879
Who's to say that that's not it?

242
00:16:23.479 --> 00:16:24.520
And that can be it, too.

243
00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.720
Correct.

244
00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:27.461
You know, I don't...

245
00:16:28.601 --> 00:16:30.783
I don't use that as like a lesser life.

246
00:16:31.343 --> 00:16:37.088
You know, I know billionaires that are miserable, that I wouldn't trade places with them in two seconds.

247
00:16:37.889 --> 00:16:47.457
I wouldn't take certain people that I know that are, you know, kind of, you know, living hand to mouth that are stoked at life.

248
00:16:47.537 --> 00:16:49.299
I wouldn't, I wouldn't do that to them.

249
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.501
So my point is, is that abundance is,

250
00:16:53.422 --> 00:16:57.224
is from the beholder, just like beauty is from the beholder.

251
00:16:57.344 --> 00:16:59.065
It's like, how do you embody it?

252
00:16:59.325 --> 00:17:00.266
How did you get here?

253
00:17:00.766 --> 00:17:02.066
What's your purpose around it?

254
00:17:02.207 --> 00:17:04.108
How do you even view abundance?

255
00:17:04.508 --> 00:17:06.048
Abundance for some people is health.

256
00:17:06.389 --> 00:17:07.369
It's eternal happiness.

257
00:17:07.509 --> 00:17:08.950
It's the best relationships ever.

258
00:17:10.411 --> 00:17:15.213
For me, I never wanted to chase money.

259
00:17:15.993 --> 00:17:16.894
You know what I'm saying?

260
00:17:17.354 --> 00:17:18.675
Because of any status.

261
00:17:20.117 --> 00:17:29.100
I wanted abundance so I can protect my family, so I can be able to do things that were a little bit outside of the scope.

262
00:17:30.100 --> 00:17:39.724
And I also came to the conclusion that we're in a world today where if you want to drink clean water, crystalline spring water, you need abundance.

263
00:17:40.384 --> 00:17:43.025
We're kind of at that level of craziness.

264
00:17:44.100 --> 00:17:44.761
It's sad.

265
00:17:45.061 --> 00:17:46.183
And that's the problem.

266
00:17:46.223 --> 00:17:52.592
Something that should be so abundant to everyone to have everyone access to has become a fringe commodity.

267
00:17:53.033 --> 00:17:59.602
It's shocking that we're at that level from a marketplace standpoint, from a society standpoint.

268
00:18:00.282 --> 00:18:12.593
And so that was the impetus for me to be like, okay, chase your passion, create the abundance, and let that abundance start to overflow into your sphere of influence and your loved ones.

269
00:18:13.293 --> 00:18:16.936
There's the fact that two things can be true at the same time.

270
00:18:17.057 --> 00:18:19.519
And this is very important, I think, for ambitious people.

271
00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:22.982
Because sometimes they only realize that, they only think that one thing can be true.

272
00:18:23.022 --> 00:18:25.844
So what I'm alluding to is...

273
00:18:27.165 --> 00:18:34.607
It's okay to think that 60 grand a year and a happy household is abundant, but that also can't be your ceiling on what you could potentially achieve.

274
00:18:35.388 --> 00:18:43.550
But if you achieve more than that, you sometimes lose yourself and you forget what actual abundance and happiness is in pursuit of that thing.

275
00:18:44.391 --> 00:18:49.112
So go after the achievement, but make sure it fits the life that you actually want to have.

276
00:18:49.272 --> 00:18:49.712
That's right.

277
00:18:50.152 --> 00:18:51.533
And I think that that's where people get lost.

278
00:18:51.913 --> 00:18:55.735
100% because they're never getting satiety from it, right?

279
00:18:55.915 --> 00:19:01.037
It's because there's no identity of what fool means.

280
00:19:01.978 --> 00:19:03.859
Yes, and remove the goalposts.

281
00:19:03.999 --> 00:19:05.039
Correct.

282
00:19:05.259 --> 00:19:13.844
And that becomes dangerous, you know, for a number of reasons because it also creates this energy of force, right?

283
00:19:14.204 --> 00:19:17.685
And there is the law of attraction, you know, and law of attraction is real.

284
00:19:17.705 --> 00:19:20.507
It's just like a used car salesman, like...

285
00:19:21.267 --> 00:19:23.608
If someone goes to the car lot, they know exactly what car they want.

286
00:19:23.628 --> 00:19:26.508
The used car salesman comes out and goes, all right, this is for you.

287
00:19:27.108 --> 00:19:27.988
They came there to get that.

288
00:19:28.048 --> 00:19:28.989
They don't want no part of it.

289
00:19:29.489 --> 00:19:33.810
But if you, you know, it's taken away from them, like, Hey, maybe this is not for you.

290
00:19:34.190 --> 00:19:34.430
Right.

291
00:19:34.530 --> 00:19:36.590
So it's just, there's a miasm, right?

292
00:19:36.650 --> 00:19:38.691
Like we want what we can't have.

293
00:19:38.751 --> 00:19:41.451
We want what we might not think is for us.

294
00:19:41.951 --> 00:19:42.951
It's the same thing here.

295
00:19:43.011 --> 00:19:46.752
It's like, if you're just so stuck, you're rigid, right?

296
00:19:47.112 --> 00:19:50.753
You're calcified, as I like to call it, which is like a sclerotic energy.

297
00:19:51.233 --> 00:19:53.394
then your malleability won't be there.

298
00:19:53.734 --> 00:19:58.034
And anytime you get to whatever you think you got, it'll never be enough.

299
00:19:58.875 --> 00:20:01.735
And I think that's a problem for a lot of young guys.

300
00:20:02.035 --> 00:20:10.557
You know, a lot of young women too, is this like idea that, you know, they have to keep filling this never ending cup that keeps growing.

301
00:20:10.797 --> 00:20:15.018
And that's, that causes a lot of, you know, mental, emotional problems.

302
00:20:15.858 --> 00:20:20.602
and that creates downstream effects in relationships and everything.

303
00:20:20.622 --> 00:20:27.448
Okay, so from a very young age, you understood, well, a couple different things you just covered.

304
00:20:27.468 --> 00:20:32.091
So you understood how a lot of us are not coming from ideal positions.

305
00:20:32.172 --> 00:20:33.112
We are not healed.

306
00:20:33.132 --> 00:20:34.954
There's a lot of trauma on different levels.

307
00:20:37.095 --> 00:20:42.019
I know that with the spirituality piece of it, we're trying to heal the mind.

308
00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:46.442
But you're also trying to heal the body at the same time.

309
00:20:47.082 --> 00:20:50.564
So break it down in very layman's terms.

310
00:20:50.604 --> 00:20:53.986
How are we combining the spiritual with the physical?

311
00:20:54.647 --> 00:21:02.031
How does all your learnings over your life tie into supplementation, diet, lifestyle?

312
00:21:02.751 --> 00:21:05.913
Because I think that that bridge is confusing for a lot of people.

313
00:21:06.413 --> 00:21:11.977
I don't think outside of what you're doing, to be quite honest, I don't think many other people are understanding that there's a connection between the two.

314
00:21:12.317 --> 00:21:13.899
Again, it's not woo-woo, it's science.

315
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:16.380
I believe all disease begins in the mind.

316
00:21:16.961 --> 00:21:19.082
Now, that's a very bold statement.

317
00:21:19.322 --> 00:21:22.044
Like, what is, disease begins in the mind, what does that mean?

318
00:21:22.064 --> 00:21:23.345
Are you talking cancer?

319
00:21:23.566 --> 00:21:25.327
Are you talking autoimmune?

320
00:21:25.407 --> 00:21:26.508
All of it, right?

321
00:21:26.608 --> 00:21:28.629
And it's an interesting statement.

322
00:21:28.649 --> 00:21:30.210
Let me unpack it a little bit.

323
00:21:31.271 --> 00:21:34.093
You're the sum of your choices, right?

324
00:21:34.153 --> 00:21:39.316
Your decision-making, your escapism, your anger, your resentment, those themes of frustration.

325
00:21:39.856 --> 00:21:50.082
You either are in the zone, you're in a flow state, and you're allowing yourself to be able to have behavioral patterns that are setting you up for success, whatever that is.

326
00:21:50.903 --> 00:21:51.443
Devotion.

327
00:21:51.763 --> 00:21:55.085
Some people confuse that with discipline or vice versa, right?

328
00:21:55.606 --> 00:21:59.568
Me choosing that I understand my circadian rhythm in my body,

329
00:21:59.928 --> 00:22:16.653
that my body is running on a biological clock every single day and every hormone, every aspect of my digestion, every manufacturing of neuroprotective compounds in my brain and all the analogs for emotions are developed through the gut-brain access.

330
00:22:16.713 --> 00:22:22.075
The fact that my blood is being regulated with cortisol and other hormones is,

331
00:22:22.415 --> 00:22:34.298
that I have the power to make a choice every single day to decide, do I throw away this beautiful rhythm or do I choose something that takes me out of that alignment?

332
00:22:34.438 --> 00:22:40.220
And so for me, I understand that our bodies are very, very sensitive to certain things.

333
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:43.063
And I want to make sure that I'm getting proper sleep.

334
00:22:43.123 --> 00:22:45.065
I want to make sure that I'm getting proper hydration.

335
00:22:45.085 --> 00:22:52.313
I want to make sure that I'm getting sun on the rise so I can turn on my immune system and activate a thousand different genes associated with longevity.

336
00:22:52.333 --> 00:22:59.101
I want to make sure that I'm getting real movement in my body, not just for aesthetics, but for VO2 max.

337
00:22:59.561 --> 00:23:04.565
for, you know, lymphatic drainage, for all the toxins that I'm being exposed to every single day.

338
00:23:04.585 --> 00:23:12.051
I want to make sure that I'm getting adequate protein so my body can synthesize that and make better things in my body and have strength and resilience.

339
00:23:12.412 --> 00:23:17.155
There's so many things that, you know, you have to make a decision on every single day.

340
00:23:17.175 --> 00:23:24.562
That's why I say disease begins in the mind, because if you're not making those decisions, you are going towards a cliff with no breaks.

341
00:23:24.582 --> 00:23:24.682
Yeah.

342
00:23:25.282 --> 00:23:27.703
and it's coming faster and faster and faster.

343
00:23:27.743 --> 00:23:31.124
The disease rate in this world right now, I've never seen anything like it.

344
00:23:31.524 --> 00:23:35.465
I read all the data once a week, I'm like exploring and evaluating the data.

345
00:23:35.485 --> 00:23:38.266
It's gnarly, man.

346
00:23:38.446 --> 00:23:47.028
It's the pharmaceutical rate, the surgery rate, the neurodegenerative diseases, the cardiovascular metrics are out of control right now.

347
00:23:47.308 --> 00:23:52.370
Cancer rates are through the roof, metabolic rates are through the roof, metabolic breakdowns through the roof.

348
00:23:52.750 --> 00:23:53.170
We're in it.

349
00:23:53.271 --> 00:23:55.973
We're in a, this is a, this is the pandemic.

350
00:23:56.353 --> 00:23:57.153
You know, this is it.

351
00:23:58.054 --> 00:24:02.818
So I look at it and I go, what's the, what's the governing factor for all this?

352
00:24:03.058 --> 00:24:04.719
What sits at the top of this?

353
00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:05.920
Is it this one pill?

354
00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:07.621
Is it this one injection?

355
00:24:08.061 --> 00:24:09.462
Is it this one workout?

356
00:24:09.883 --> 00:24:11.003
No, it's not.

357
00:24:11.644 --> 00:24:12.344
It's the mind.

358
00:24:13.405 --> 00:24:14.466
It's how we operate.

359
00:24:14.486 --> 00:24:15.327
It's how we think.

360
00:24:15.947 --> 00:24:16.988
It's how we react.

361
00:24:17.688 --> 00:24:19.209
It's our devotion to self.

362
00:24:19.290 --> 00:24:20.651
It's our act of self-love.

363
00:24:21.371 --> 00:24:32.624
It's all those are the core pillars that control all the billions of other, you know, links that go downstream towards, you know, a happy, healthy, productive life.

364
00:24:33.225 --> 00:24:35.007
You know, the the body is interesting.

365
00:24:36.244 --> 00:24:38.827
sedentary lifestyle, for example, let me give you an example.

366
00:24:39.627 --> 00:24:49.537
People that don't move a lot, they're basically telling their transcriptions, their DNA, that this body has no desire to live and doesn't have any purpose.

367
00:24:50.418 --> 00:24:56.784
So because of that, when the body goes through, you know, cellular reuptake, Krebs cycle, mitosis, we learned in the little kid,

368
00:24:57.945 --> 00:25:01.987
things start to break down because there's no purpose around this life anymore.

369
00:25:02.267 --> 00:25:10.210
You know, as opposed to people that put themselves into states that we call hormesis, that which does not kill you makes you stronger.

370
00:25:10.230 --> 00:25:11.831
That's why we jump in cold rivers.

371
00:25:11.851 --> 00:25:14.912
That's why we get in 210 degree finished saunas.

372
00:25:15.332 --> 00:25:20.895
These are activating sirtuin pathways, heat shock proteins that says this thing needs to stay alive.

373
00:25:21.215 --> 00:25:25.857
That's why we go on long-term fasts and do seven to 10 day, 21 day water fasts.

374
00:25:26.217 --> 00:25:33.290
Because the body goes into a system called autophagy, where it starts eating everything in the body that doesn't belong there because it's in survival state.

375
00:25:34.072 --> 00:25:36.216
This is a mindset where...

376
00:25:37.113 --> 00:25:39.494
We've gotten way too comfortable in life.

377
00:25:40.354 --> 00:25:43.634
Technology has come to comfort us, to protect us.

378
00:25:44.375 --> 00:25:46.455
It's the greatest Trojan horse ever.

379
00:25:47.055 --> 00:25:50.936
And now with AI, it's getting worse from a mind perspective, right?

380
00:25:51.236 --> 00:25:55.137
So we're not adapting and pulling our creativity spark.

381
00:25:55.577 --> 00:25:58.978
And we're kind of just like letting this cold intelligence take over.

382
00:25:59.718 --> 00:26:08.084
So my whole thing is, you know, we have to get back into this survival mechanism to a certain extent.

383
00:26:08.124 --> 00:26:09.805
We can't get too comfortable.

384
00:26:10.465 --> 00:26:17.070
And that, in my opinion, is a edge that if anyone's listening to this.

385
00:26:17.890 --> 00:26:37.371
And they really want to take their life to the next level and kind of like breakthrough plateaus of mental exhaustion, emotional complacency, borderline, you know, banging your head against the wall in relationships and just thinking like, what the hell is going on with my life with a lot of people are feeling today?

386
00:26:37.391 --> 00:26:37.491
Yeah.

387
00:26:38.312 --> 00:26:41.233
You got to have some type of pattern breakthrough.

388
00:26:41.653 --> 00:26:49.036
You got to get out of this, you know, rigmarole you've been on this hamster wheel you've been on and you got to get uncomfortable.

389
00:26:50.076 --> 00:26:54.898
Being uncomfortable is one of the most important things we can do as a species, not just for men, but for women as well.

390
00:26:55.638 --> 00:26:59.060
And that for me, that that's what put me in the position that I'm in.

391
00:26:59.080 --> 00:27:01.661
I got very uncomfortable because I had a comfortable life.

392
00:27:02.621 --> 00:27:05.546
Well, we are at a point in history where it's never been more comfortable.

393
00:27:05.986 --> 00:27:06.247
Right.

394
00:27:06.387 --> 00:27:06.627
Ever.

395
00:27:06.748 --> 00:27:11.034
But that's creating dysregulation uncomfortability underneath.

396
00:27:11.094 --> 00:27:12.456
It's just like the immune system.

397
00:27:13.017 --> 00:27:15.761
Like, we want acute inflammation.

398
00:27:16.382 --> 00:27:17.564
Acute inflammation is very good.

399
00:27:17.584 --> 00:27:17.764
Like...

400
00:27:18.245 --> 00:27:23.971
going and doing a two-hour training set and pushing your body, that creates inflammation, but that sparks regrowth.

401
00:27:24.412 --> 00:27:25.693
It sparks adaptation.

402
00:27:25.733 --> 00:27:30.699
It sparks, you know, your blood's pumping, you're detoxing, you're moving, you're oxygenating.

403
00:27:30.739 --> 00:27:31.880
This is so good for you.

404
00:27:32.241 --> 00:27:33.542
And then your body goes through a recovery.

405
00:27:33.562 --> 00:27:33.742
Right?

406
00:27:34.283 --> 00:27:40.808
The danger of inflammation is low-grade inflammation that you don't notice, that goes unchecked.

407
00:27:41.208 --> 00:27:42.669
That's disease pathology.

408
00:27:42.709 --> 00:27:51.035
Those are, from an inflammatory perspective, that's, you know, C-reactive protein, IL-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor.

409
00:27:51.075 --> 00:27:53.176
These are inflammatory homeocysteine.

410
00:27:53.196 --> 00:27:55.018
These are low-grade inflammation.

411
00:27:55.058 --> 00:27:56.459
It's the same thing with our lifestyle.

412
00:27:56.879 --> 00:27:58.760
It's very fascinating how they all make sense.

413
00:27:58.820 --> 00:28:00.502
It's like perfect analogies.

414
00:28:01.222 --> 00:28:12.069
We don't want to feel like we're, you know, got all these comforts when deep down inside it's robbing us of who we are.

415
00:28:12.089 --> 00:28:13.930
And I think you and I probably grew up in the same era.

416
00:28:15.011 --> 00:28:17.393
My childhood, I was, you know, I was a...

417
00:28:18.073 --> 00:28:19.814
destroying the neighborhoods with my crew.

418
00:28:20.114 --> 00:28:22.435
Yeah, we were the delinquents.

419
00:28:22.755 --> 00:28:24.036
Plod is a success story partner.

420
00:28:24.216 --> 00:28:26.397
Now I spoke about Plod a few episodes back.

421
00:28:26.477 --> 00:28:31.799
This is the AI powered device that captures your conversations, turns them into transcripts, summaries, action items.

422
00:28:31.959 --> 00:28:35.801
And I wanted to come back to it because I keep finding new ways that this thing is incredibly useful.

423
00:28:36.101 --> 00:28:39.363
Last week, I sat down with a potential sponsor at a coffee shop.

424
00:28:39.683 --> 00:28:44.668
And we're going back and forth on deliverables, timelines, pricing, a lot of details and a lot of numbers.

425
00:28:44.748 --> 00:28:48.412
And normally after a conversation like that, I'd open my notes up on my phone.

426
00:28:48.792 --> 00:28:50.014
I try to write everything down.

427
00:28:50.054 --> 00:28:54.018
I remembered and I'd probably get about 70% of it, but the other 30% would be gone.

428
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.701
usually the small details that end up mattering a lot later.

429
00:28:58.941 --> 00:29:04.524
But this time, with their permission, I had the note pin S on my shirt, and I honestly forgot it was even there.

430
00:29:04.764 --> 00:29:08.026
So after the meeting, I opened up my Plod app, and everything was already laid out.

431
00:29:08.046 --> 00:29:12.968
The full transcript, a clear summary, the key numbers we discussed, and the follow-ups I'd agreed to.

432
00:29:13.048 --> 00:29:16.490
And I could even ask Plod, what pricing did we discuss, or what were my next steps?

433
00:29:16.690 --> 00:29:18.231
and it pulls up the answer right away.

434
00:29:18.391 --> 00:29:22.572
I didn't have to reconstruct the conversation from memory, and that's the part that I keep coming back to.

435
00:29:22.632 --> 00:29:28.774
I'm not splitting my attention in meetings between being present in the conversation and trying to document and remember everything.

436
00:29:29.014 --> 00:29:34.096
I can just focus on the person in front of me, knowing that the important details will be there afterwards.

437
00:29:34.276 --> 00:29:35.537
And remember, they do have two products.

438
00:29:35.557 --> 00:29:37.818
The Note Pro magnetically attaches to the back of your phone.

439
00:29:37.858 --> 00:29:44.200
It's great for calls, and the Note pin has clips or magnetically attaches to your shirt, making it ideal for in-person conversations.

440
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:46.843
And you can choose between them depending on the situation.

441
00:29:46.883 --> 00:29:52.211
So if you spend a lot of your day in conversations and you're tired of losing important details, go check it out.

442
00:29:52.451 --> 00:29:57.057
Go to plod.ai slash success and use code success for 15% off.

443
00:29:57.077 --> 00:30:00.362
That's plod.ai slash success and use code success for 15% off.

444
00:30:01.303 --> 00:30:03.004
Odoo is a success story partner.

445
00:30:03.024 --> 00:30:05.045
And remember that is pronounced Oh do.

446
00:30:05.145 --> 00:30:09.027
Now I want to tell you something that happened to me recently that I think a lot of you will relate to.

447
00:30:09.308 --> 00:30:12.549
I was trying to send a quote to a client and this should be simple, right?

448
00:30:12.669 --> 00:30:16.712
Except the pricing was in one tool and the contact info was in another tool.

449
00:30:17.032 --> 00:30:19.493
And the last conversation that we had was in a third tool.

450
00:30:19.673 --> 00:30:23.515
And then I spent something like 20 minutes pulling it all together for one quote.

451
00:30:23.736 --> 00:30:24.376
And that's the thing.

452
00:30:24.756 --> 00:30:27.097
Each tool works fine on its own.

453
00:30:27.517 --> 00:30:29.377
The problem is that they don't talk to each other.

454
00:30:29.577 --> 00:30:32.258
So you become the person connecting everything.

455
00:30:32.498 --> 00:30:33.758
You become the integration.

456
00:30:33.918 --> 00:30:37.699
You're the one copying numbers between tabs and making sure everything matches.

457
00:30:37.859 --> 00:30:39.539
But that's what Odoo fixes.

458
00:30:39.719 --> 00:30:41.920
It puts everything on one platform.

459
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:51.102
So I'm talking accounting, invoicing, CRM, inventory, HR, project management, your website, e-commerce, e-signatures, over 45 apps, all connected.

460
00:30:51.242 --> 00:30:55.304
When something happens in one place, every other place already knows about it.

461
00:30:55.485 --> 00:30:58.146
So you're not updating three systems every time you close a deal.

462
00:30:58.546 --> 00:31:00.588
And the pricing is the part that surprised me.

463
00:31:00.608 --> 00:31:04.250
The first app is free for life, unlimited users, hosting included.

464
00:31:04.690 --> 00:31:07.412
One subscription after that unlocks everything else.

465
00:31:07.712 --> 00:31:11.954
So if you're spending your time connecting tools instead of actually doing the work you have to do, go check it out.

466
00:31:12.215 --> 00:31:12.875
Links in the show notes.

467
00:31:13.155 --> 00:31:14.956
My fitness pal is a success story partner.

468
00:31:15.216 --> 00:31:19.037
People always ask me how I have time to track what I eat, pay attention to my nutrition.

469
00:31:19.057 --> 00:31:23.098
When I have a daily podcast, I have a weekly podcast, I have a newsletter, I run a marketing agency.

470
00:31:23.118 --> 00:31:26.979
My days are super full, but honestly, that's exactly why I have to do it.

471
00:31:27.019 --> 00:31:33.141
See, when you're running that many things, when you are a high performing person, you cannot afford to have your energy be inconsistent.

472
00:31:33.321 --> 00:31:37.642
Food is a foundation for everything, for energy, for sleep, for weight, for recovery, for performance.

473
00:31:38.082 --> 00:31:40.983
And the days when I'm not paying attention to what I'm eating, I feel it.

474
00:31:41.203 --> 00:31:43.763
The MyFitnessPal app makes tracking a non-issue.

475
00:31:43.843 --> 00:31:50.465
I can say what I ate, it has voice logging, or I can point my camera at a plate with meal scan and it figures out what's there.

476
00:31:50.505 --> 00:31:53.245
See, I'm not sitting around entering all my ingredients.

477
00:31:53.505 --> 00:31:54.746
The app does the work for me.

478
00:31:55.126 --> 00:31:57.746
It also connects over 40 fitness apps and wearables.

479
00:31:57.766 --> 00:32:01.387
So my training, my steps, my nutrition, it all goes to one place.

480
00:32:01.847 --> 00:32:04.930
One picture of what's happening instead of having to piece everything together myself.

481
00:32:05.111 --> 00:32:06.332
The whole thing is frictionless.

482
00:32:06.352 --> 00:32:07.553
It takes seconds, not minutes.

483
00:32:07.793 --> 00:32:08.894
So do yourself a favor.

484
00:32:09.135 --> 00:32:10.596
Start tracking what you eat.

485
00:32:10.616 --> 00:32:11.877
You're going to feel way better.

486
00:32:12.158 --> 00:32:18.044
Go to podcast.myfitnesspal.com and use code SCOTT, all uppercase, for 15% off MyFitnessPal premium.

487
00:32:18.284 --> 00:32:21.948
That's podcast.myfitnesspal.com, code SCOTT.

488
00:32:22.388 --> 00:32:24.350
I mean, there's so many different ways you can take this, but...

489
00:32:25.251 --> 00:32:35.258
Kids don't have the same exposure to the elements, to nature, to fun but hard things growing up that create the personality that will succeed in life.

490
00:32:35.619 --> 00:32:37.860
The competition, they don't have access.

491
00:32:38.001 --> 00:32:39.622
Now everybody gets participation trophies.

492
00:32:39.982 --> 00:32:44.185
On top of that, now they have their attention that's going to shit because of social media.

493
00:32:44.625 --> 00:32:49.349
And now they're using, I don't know if they're using, but I'm assuming some kids are using AI, which is already shown.

494
00:32:49.389 --> 00:32:49.529
They're

495
00:32:49.569 --> 00:33:11.120
all using a atrophy your brain if you outsource all of your thinking to it so like every single and i'm just i'm a layman i don't know the science behind it but i just like look at the situation that kids are in right now and everything is destroying them completely we're at that level right now this is this is this is the down this is the downturn right now

496
00:33:11.780 --> 00:33:14.721
Because it had to, it had to like, there had to be a crescendo, right?

497
00:33:14.741 --> 00:33:18.282
Like it slowly had to get here, but then it started moving quicker and quicker.

498
00:33:18.302 --> 00:33:23.123
And I think we're right at that peak where it's just like, it's collapsing generation lost.

499
00:33:23.783 --> 00:33:29.844
And these, these kids are, they're like a, they're a hybrid of themselves.

500
00:33:29.864 --> 00:33:32.065
They don't even know what they're doing in this life.

501
00:33:32.385 --> 00:33:38.246
And, and the competition wasn't us sprinting or jumping or basketball or football or whatever.

502
00:33:38.646 --> 00:33:41.687
The competition is weird social media stuff right now.

503
00:33:42.448 --> 00:33:59.285
it's aesthetic stuff right now it's so strange it's dark it's weird you know it's like a you know they're blurring the lines of many things you get what I'm saying and I already see how social media screws up adults

504
00:33:59.845 --> 00:34:23.282
total and kids are way more impressionable because they're in theta yeah your brain is literally forming like i like when does your brain stop forming like when is it like actually mature and yeah well it never stops but it starts to atrophy at mid-20s depending on how you use it but but i mean if you're five years old six years old using social media you're in theta until about seven and a half or eight years old theta is the brain wave that you you notice you are right when

505
00:34:24.983 --> 00:34:27.866
And right when you wake up, it's the imaginary wave.

506
00:34:28.046 --> 00:34:30.588
It's the wave where you pick up everything around you.

507
00:34:31.149 --> 00:34:40.237
The design of our architecture specifically created this hurt signal for your brain and your central nervous system to learn everything around you.

508
00:34:40.317 --> 00:34:41.598
So you know how to do things.

509
00:34:41.638 --> 00:34:42.299
You know how to eat.

510
00:34:42.339 --> 00:34:43.360
You know how to make food.

511
00:34:43.380 --> 00:34:45.301
You know how to go to the bathroom, whatever it is.

512
00:34:46.282 --> 00:34:53.349
And so that's why kids at, you know, from the womb to age seven and a half, eight years young are so impressionable.

513
00:34:53.689 --> 00:34:55.250
That's where the programming comes.

514
00:34:55.931 --> 00:35:06.480
And it's almost like once you have that in there, it's like, you know, it's relatively impossible to remove that unless they go through like real formal theta training later in life.

515
00:35:06.641 --> 00:35:12.005
And there are some practices for that Qigong meditation practices and some other higher

516
00:35:12.746 --> 00:35:13.588
higher attainment stuff.

517
00:35:13.608 --> 00:35:16.133
But the average parent is not getting their kid involved in this stuff.

518
00:35:16.213 --> 00:35:16.694
No way.

519
00:35:16.774 --> 00:35:17.015
No.

520
00:35:17.496 --> 00:35:18.117
And boom.

521
00:35:18.317 --> 00:35:18.979
Yeah.

522
00:35:19.059 --> 00:35:20.181
It's no wonder we're...

523
00:35:20.682 --> 00:35:21.985
I mean, just look at the crime.

524
00:35:22.045 --> 00:35:22.626
Look at the...

525
00:35:23.948 --> 00:35:46.315
where we're at well i think that the the most nefarious part of everything we're speaking about is we don't notice the effects of any of this with our kids or ourselves till it's too late so all the things that are impacting our health well we're not going to notice that till we're living from 80 to 100 plus and feel miserable and in pain every single day that's right

526
00:35:46.695 --> 00:35:49.616
So we're living longer, but we're not truly living, right?

527
00:35:49.696 --> 00:35:50.757
And we're not productive.

528
00:35:50.777 --> 00:35:55.639
And then kids, you're not going to notice the effects until they're 20, 25, maybe.

529
00:35:55.879 --> 00:36:00.301
But the point is, it's going to be a lot later than seven when you notice all the negative effects.

530
00:36:00.641 --> 00:36:01.082
Yeah.

531
00:36:01.262 --> 00:36:02.462
And we're not like...

532
00:36:02.602 --> 00:36:04.343
It's not urgent enough because you'll feel it.

533
00:36:04.383 --> 00:36:06.584
You don't feel it now, but you see it.

534
00:36:07.044 --> 00:36:12.027
And think about it, like, how many people on this earth right now, this earth plane...

535
00:36:12.827 --> 00:36:15.730
is actually in their purpose.

536
00:36:16.170 --> 00:36:19.073
Why they incarnated here in this life.

537
00:36:19.753 --> 00:36:20.834
What percentage of that?

538
00:36:21.115 --> 00:36:21.735
2%?

539
00:36:22.236 --> 00:36:23.357
That's generous.

540
00:36:23.777 --> 00:36:29.242
So if that's generous, 98% of the population is completely in chaos because they're not in their purpose.

541
00:36:29.402 --> 00:36:29.943
I believe that.

542
00:36:30.223 --> 00:36:30.904
You believe that, right?

543
00:36:32.145 --> 00:36:33.946
What does that mean to where we're heading?

544
00:36:33.967 --> 00:36:34.487
Right.

545
00:36:34.627 --> 00:36:35.708
or what we're even doing.

546
00:36:35.848 --> 00:36:44.315
And does it make sense why every complex, industrial complex of the world, medical, military, financial, whatever, is all falling apart right now?

547
00:36:44.935 --> 00:36:45.656
All the systems?

548
00:36:46.336 --> 00:36:48.278
It's, you know, we're in it.

549
00:36:48.438 --> 00:36:49.599
How do you heal the world?

550
00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:50.119
Like, okay, so...

551
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:55.941
Explain a little bit about Symbiotica because it's one step.

552
00:36:56.321 --> 00:36:58.862
There's many different things that we're not going to solve.

553
00:36:59.022 --> 00:37:01.802
We're one slibber of it, yeah.

554
00:37:02.962 --> 00:37:10.084
Symbiotica was birthed on the idea that we don't want to be a supplement brand.

555
00:37:10.544 --> 00:37:12.945
That was not what we set out to be.

556
00:37:13.165 --> 00:37:14.145
We want to be a movement.

557
00:37:14.985 --> 00:37:25.116
We want it to be a knowledge-based movement where we're creating individual sovereignty within the household through the parents and kids.

558
00:37:25.656 --> 00:37:28.659
And there's conversations around their health because we're there.

559
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:29.881
That was it.

560
00:37:30.081 --> 00:37:31.522
That was the core philosophy.

561
00:37:31.763 --> 00:37:33.504
And to be the most transparent brand.

562
00:37:34.085 --> 00:37:36.288
meaning we're showing everything that we're doing.

563
00:37:36.708 --> 00:37:49.002
We're resourcing the raw materials, our technology around our delivery systems, the quality, the compliance, just, I mean, spec after spec, our clinical studies, our patents.

564
00:37:49.062 --> 00:37:50.905
I mean, we wanted to go across the board and,

565
00:37:51.425 --> 00:38:02.332
You know, it was never to look and say, okay, we want to follow a trend or we want to be, you know, like whatever everyone else is doing.

566
00:38:02.392 --> 00:38:04.893
It was like, how do we separate ourselves?

567
00:38:04.973 --> 00:38:07.955
That was the origin story of Symbiotica.

568
00:38:08.115 --> 00:38:08.996
That's how it happened.

569
00:38:09.796 --> 00:38:17.679
And we've been building such momentum with that level of integrity that it's just, it's become this whole thing now.

570
00:38:18.100 --> 00:38:21.181
And, you know, I'm, I'm just one part of it.

571
00:38:21.721 --> 00:38:29.084
You know, I, I had the dream and I ultimately partnered with one of my childhood best friends.

572
00:38:29.144 --> 00:38:30.905
Who's an extraordinary human being.

573
00:38:31.645 --> 00:38:35.547
And he's a, he's one of the top entrepreneurs I've ever been around.

574
00:38:36.007 --> 00:38:37.888
He'd probably be great on this podcast.

575
00:38:37.908 --> 00:38:38.448
I'm going to bring him on.

576
00:38:38.848 --> 00:38:41.589
Yeah, he's just an extraordinary entrepreneur.

577
00:38:42.750 --> 00:38:48.933
I had the vision, I had the science, and we just merged later in life after being friends when we were 15.

578
00:38:48.953 --> 00:38:49.893
Very cool.

579
00:38:49.913 --> 00:38:50.794
Very cool story.

580
00:38:51.554 --> 00:38:56.096
And we have a team within our organization that is all in.

581
00:38:56.236 --> 00:38:57.997
Everybody's all in for the cause.

582
00:38:58.758 --> 00:38:59.898
And that's not hyperbole.

583
00:38:59.918 --> 00:39:02.519
That's like a real frequency.

584
00:39:03.200 --> 00:39:05.101
And so our message is...

585
00:39:06.161 --> 00:39:07.243
You know, this is not here.

586
00:39:07.263 --> 00:39:08.344
We're not here to save you.

587
00:39:08.444 --> 00:39:11.028
We're not just like all the other charlatans out there.

588
00:39:11.729 --> 00:39:14.694
We're just here to show you what's available and why we did it.

589
00:39:15.355 --> 00:39:17.337
And it's your choice to take a step forward.

590
00:39:17.377 --> 00:39:21.964
And this is just one part of the process, because from my, from my perspective.

591
00:39:22.905 --> 00:39:25.626
We're only supposed to be getting our nutrition from food.

592
00:39:26.607 --> 00:39:33.491
The problem is, as I mentioned earlier, food is fringe commodity, meaning it is watered down.

593
00:39:33.531 --> 00:39:35.011
It's not even food anymore.

594
00:39:35.632 --> 00:39:37.653
We've lost our soil in North America.

595
00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:46.583
99% of the farms on this country are glyphosate-ridden, monocropped, devoid of any mineralization.

596
00:39:46.603 --> 00:39:49.164
You're getting, we call them frankenfood, not even real food.

597
00:39:50.045 --> 00:39:57.988
And if the body is losing itself from a toxic world and it's not getting the proper nutrients, at some point something breaks.

598
00:39:58.889 --> 00:40:01.750
And so the whole passion around symbiotica was...

599
00:40:02.510 --> 00:40:04.671
We're going to make supplements back into food.

600
00:40:05.291 --> 00:40:06.512
And that's what our products are.

601
00:40:07.052 --> 00:40:14.896
They're not powders and capsules and tablets and some derivative of protein that doesn't even assimilate in the body.

602
00:40:15.396 --> 00:40:22.620
We're using organic fats, lipids, minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, antioxidants.

603
00:40:23.240 --> 00:40:24.581
And we don't add any fillers.

604
00:40:24.601 --> 00:40:26.401
We don't even add natural flavors.

605
00:40:26.582 --> 00:40:33.845
All our stuff are organic raw terpenes from the specific fruit or extract from somewhere holy in the world that I've gone and sourced.

606
00:40:34.325 --> 00:40:44.729
This is, I mean, there's nothing like it, you know, and it, for me, like getting recognized by people here in Miami, wherever, you know, it's not like some celebrity nonsense.

607
00:40:44.789 --> 00:40:46.230
It's like, Hey, thanks for showing up.

608
00:40:46.850 --> 00:40:48.051
Thanks for caring about us.

609
00:40:48.611 --> 00:40:50.552
Things for putting it all on the line.

610
00:40:50.772 --> 00:40:51.952
Things for not selling out.

611
00:40:51.992 --> 00:40:53.412
Things for not sacrificing.

612
00:40:54.032 --> 00:40:55.293
That's the feedback that I get.

613
00:40:55.373 --> 00:40:58.233
And that's part of my abundance.

614
00:40:59.254 --> 00:41:02.734
You know, that's like the symptom from doing things right.

615
00:41:03.415 --> 00:41:11.356
You know, and another thing with Symbodica is we were never going to want to like, you know, crush it with one thing.

616
00:41:11.476 --> 00:41:16.077
We knew this was going to be the long haul because our products were so expensive to make.

617
00:41:16.838 --> 00:41:18.118
You know, this is not cheap.

618
00:41:18.839 --> 00:41:25.848
And so we don't have this like gnarly margin that a lot of these other brands are doing, you know, and I know the numbers.

619
00:41:25.908 --> 00:41:28.812
I see what we're, you know, what our competitors are.

620
00:41:29.193 --> 00:41:30.915
It's a completely different thing.

621
00:41:31.095 --> 00:41:35.481
Our products are pretty much fresh, made to order, got to get shipped cold.

622
00:41:36.322 --> 00:41:38.843
We don't use weird, you know, preservatives.

623
00:41:39.523 --> 00:41:42.843
Our products can't sit around for three years on a shelf somewhere.

624
00:41:42.863 --> 00:41:43.603
Do you get what I'm saying?

625
00:41:43.623 --> 00:41:53.865
It's like everything that can go against you from a financial model on product development is going against me to the point where, you know, I had to fight my CFO.

626
00:41:54.185 --> 00:41:55.045
Yeah, I have no doubt.

627
00:41:55.085 --> 00:41:56.926
We just were like, no, just stick with us.

628
00:41:57.206 --> 00:41:57.606
Don't worry.

629
00:41:57.966 --> 00:41:58.966
We're going to figure this out.

630
00:41:59.066 --> 00:42:00.226
This is the long-term play.

631
00:42:00.466 --> 00:42:02.927
We're talking about what's going into people's bodies.

632
00:42:03.787 --> 00:42:05.768
Like you just have to like understand that.

633
00:42:06.208 --> 00:42:08.550
How do you, how do you make it so that it's accessible though?

634
00:42:08.570 --> 00:42:11.651
That's like, cause that's the problem that we all have to solve.

635
00:42:11.671 --> 00:42:13.392
I mean, that's what keeps me up at night.

636
00:42:13.532 --> 00:42:22.157
I get the tension because you advocate for like the non fringe access to the things that can make everybody healthy.

637
00:42:23.113 --> 00:42:28.758
But the issue is that it's almost impossible to get it at a price that everybody can get access.

638
00:42:29.419 --> 00:42:30.199
It's very tough.

639
00:42:30.259 --> 00:42:31.040
It's tough.

640
00:42:31.080 --> 00:42:34.843
I've spent the last couple of years in the lab.

641
00:42:35.904 --> 00:42:46.814
Our entire team has been pushed to the brink because it's really difficult to keep this level of quality.

642
00:42:47.975 --> 00:42:52.658
at the scale that we're going, you know, we've grown so much because it worked.

643
00:42:53.838 --> 00:42:59.101
We have very low churn, you know, people don't cancel their subscription, you know, they stay on.

644
00:42:59.741 --> 00:43:03.643
We have subscribers from 2019, you know, 2018.

645
00:43:03.684 --> 00:43:04.384
It's crazy.

646
00:43:04.424 --> 00:43:05.004
That's really good.

647
00:43:05.264 --> 00:43:10.847
And it's the retention's incredible or, you know, we're, I think we're around 10% churned.

648
00:43:12.168 --> 00:43:18.370
In our industry, that is extraordinary, you know, because average churn in the supplement industry is like 75%.

649
00:43:18.610 --> 00:43:22.791
And it just shows you, you know, okay, this is working.

650
00:43:23.231 --> 00:43:28.593
And our clinicals, you know, we don't do these basic nonsensical perception studies.

651
00:43:28.633 --> 00:43:35.415
We do gold standard pharmacokinetic absorption studies that actually show what's happening.

652
00:43:35.895 --> 00:43:36.335
And so...

653
00:43:37.395 --> 00:43:43.699
I, um, we take the task at hand and it's, if, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

654
00:43:43.999 --> 00:43:49.323
It's just too bad the whole industry has been built on 75% churn being, for example, unacceptable rate.

655
00:43:49.823 --> 00:43:50.103
Right.

656
00:43:50.303 --> 00:43:51.024
What does that tell you?

657
00:43:51.064 --> 00:43:52.104
It shows that they don't give a shit.

658
00:43:52.185 --> 00:43:52.425
Yeah.

659
00:43:52.485 --> 00:43:54.666
And it's the same thing with every other industry too.

660
00:43:54.686 --> 00:43:58.348
Like the quality of clothes, like just look at the clothes out there.

661
00:43:58.408 --> 00:43:59.309
It's an abomination.

662
00:43:59.449 --> 00:44:00.090
You know what I mean?

663
00:44:00.110 --> 00:44:01.250
Like that's, that's a whole nother thing.

664
00:44:01.270 --> 00:44:02.491
And it's quality of this and quality of water.

665
00:44:02.511 --> 00:44:04.592
I was just talking to a, there was some guy helping me out with some landscaping this morning.

666
00:44:04.612 --> 00:44:06.494
Um, I was just talking to a, there was some guy helping me out with some landscaping

667
00:44:07.414 --> 00:44:13.582
And he was just like just complaining about the fact that air conditioners and like new home builds seem to be lower quality, louder.

668
00:44:13.622 --> 00:44:20.910
They break more like everything across the board seems to be more expensive and cheaper quality and lesser quality.

669
00:44:20.930 --> 00:44:22.072
We're going the wrong direction.

670
00:44:22.512 --> 00:44:23.913
You know, everything.

671
00:44:24.193 --> 00:44:24.693
Cars.

672
00:44:24.713 --> 00:44:30.076
You know, I mean, everything is just seems to be getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper.

673
00:44:30.317 --> 00:44:39.622
It's because I think there's a, you know, the way the money markets work and capital markets and all these things, it's putting pressures on money.

674
00:44:40.402 --> 00:44:45.405
LPs and, you know, everyone's got a fiduciary obligation to turn a profit.

675
00:44:45.525 --> 00:44:52.768
And so someone's jobs on the line and careers are at stake and it's just, it's a race to the bottom.

676
00:44:52.948 --> 00:44:54.149
That's the, that's the term.

677
00:44:54.189 --> 00:45:00.432
And, and in my industry, I'm just standing there all day long, looking at all these new companies popping up.

678
00:45:01.112 --> 00:45:05.856
And they're just marketing companies going to the same manufacturers, manufacturers that I know.

679
00:45:06.416 --> 00:45:08.017
And they're just like picking something.

680
00:45:08.077 --> 00:45:09.438
They'll change one ingredient.

681
00:45:09.458 --> 00:45:12.260
They have no idea where these raw materials are coming from.

682
00:45:12.580 --> 00:45:18.825
They're coming from some of the worst places on earth that have no value, but they can show up on a label and tell you something.

683
00:45:18.845 --> 00:45:22.567
But it has nothing to do with actual vital force that are going to help the body.

684
00:45:23.068 --> 00:45:24.309
And it's all marketing.

685
00:45:24.749 --> 00:45:25.649
It's all marketing.

686
00:45:26.370 --> 00:45:28.772
And that's, and it's like, and it, yeah.

687
00:45:30.353 --> 00:45:37.719
it, you know, it's frustrating for me, but it pisses me off because not because it's taking something away from me.

688
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:39.580
No, it's actually highlighting us.

689
00:45:40.161 --> 00:45:47.967
You know, me and, uh, Shahab and our chief strategy officer, Adam Giselson, we always talk about this and, and Jared, big shout out to Jared as well.

690
00:45:47.987 --> 00:45:48.768
We always talk about this.

691
00:45:48.808 --> 00:45:55.914
Like the more like that goes on, the more it just shows us like who we are, which is epic.

692
00:45:56.214 --> 00:45:56.574
But yeah,

693
00:45:57.475 --> 00:45:59.195
That's still going into somebody's body.

694
00:45:59.735 --> 00:46:04.896
So for me and for my and for the team, we're, you know, it's frustrating.

695
00:46:05.437 --> 00:46:06.617
I want to point out something.

696
00:46:06.657 --> 00:46:07.997
So you didn't raise money till later.

697
00:46:08.557 --> 00:46:10.938
You started off, you were bootstrapping, I think, at the start.

698
00:46:11.258 --> 00:46:13.218
Well, I mean, I think we're still completely bootstrapped.

699
00:46:13.538 --> 00:46:19.879
The money raised that we did was, you know, it was a safe round, you know, so we didn't do like a full, full round.

700
00:46:19.899 --> 00:46:21.060
This was, you'll get my point.

701
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:22.980
I'll just tell you where I'm going with this.

702
00:46:24.521 --> 00:46:36.307
the reason why you have been able to sort of stay true to your vision as an entrepreneur and as a founder is because you didn't take money from people that had different incentives.

703
00:46:37.108 --> 00:46:40.850
So when you take money, and this happens a lot, entrepreneurs lose control of their company.

704
00:46:41.530 --> 00:46:43.631
And if they raise, it's not always the case.

705
00:46:43.651 --> 00:46:46.973
Sometimes entrepreneurs who don't raise money are just assholes and don't care.

706
00:46:46.993 --> 00:46:51.016
And sometimes entrepreneurs that do raise money have great VCs that also sort of

707
00:46:51.936 --> 00:46:54.338
Love the mission and the vision that the founder has.

708
00:46:54.758 --> 00:47:01.062
But sometimes great entrepreneurs raise money and the incentives of the people putting money in are different.

709
00:47:01.402 --> 00:47:08.447
And they have obligation to fiduciary responsibilities, like your point to their LPs, and they have to turn a profit in a certain amount of time and then that happens.

710
00:47:08.935 --> 00:47:18.623
leads to poor business decisions like cheaper products or not caring about 75% churn as long as we are profitable on the first sale, for example.

711
00:47:20.125 --> 00:47:20.965
And it's just unfortunate.

712
00:47:21.486 --> 00:47:22.447
It's just unfortunate.

713
00:47:22.607 --> 00:47:26.210
And it's just a lesson for somebody who's starting something.

714
00:47:26.350 --> 00:47:31.714
Unfortunately, some people don't have the luxury of listening to this after they've already raised or have the wrong partners or whatever.

715
00:47:32.575 --> 00:47:38.481
But when you're starting something, if you have this mission and this vision that means so much to you, just protect it.

716
00:47:38.841 --> 00:47:40.623
Yeah, very well said.

717
00:47:40.703 --> 00:47:47.449
And I just recognize that with you as an example of somebody who's able to protect what they care about because they didn't take money.

718
00:47:48.029 --> 00:47:50.452
And sometimes you don't know what you don't know when you're starting a company.

719
00:47:51.453 --> 00:47:53.774
Sometimes you just take money because you're like, this is the only way I know how to build a company.

720
00:47:53.794 --> 00:47:57.316
And then all of a sudden you realize that money comes with all these strings attached to it.

721
00:47:57.737 --> 00:48:06.982
I have many friends that were ahead of my time or in different businesses, also in health and wellness as well, that had gone down these different routes.

722
00:48:07.242 --> 00:48:08.343
And I've seen what happened to them.

723
00:48:08.883 --> 00:48:15.713
You know, and let me tell you that, and you can talk to my business partner, Shahab, bootstrapping was not easy.

724
00:48:16.114 --> 00:48:16.675
I have no doubt.

725
00:48:16.915 --> 00:48:21.242
Yeah, because it's like you're living hand to mouth.

726
00:48:21.622 --> 00:48:24.546
But what it did give us was the ability to be nimble.

727
00:48:25.207 --> 00:48:26.949
You know, and to make decisions on the fly.

728
00:48:26.969 --> 00:48:32.774
You know, sometimes me and him would be making huge decisions quick at two in the morning.

729
00:48:33.135 --> 00:48:33.775
Let's go with this.

730
00:48:33.795 --> 00:48:34.496
Let's go with that.

731
00:48:35.136 --> 00:48:46.227
And that allowed us to be able to bob and weave and go through a lot of sticky situations at the pace that we were moving at while keeping all the quality and integrity where it needs to be.

732
00:48:46.907 --> 00:48:59.594
And so I think you're right, you know, know who you do business with, you know, and have a real honest conversation looking in the mirror of like what your objective is in your life, you know, and I think we can find balance.

733
00:48:59.795 --> 00:49:00.935
You know, that's another thing, too.

734
00:49:00.955 --> 00:49:09.040
There is there is some semblance of balance that you can have with, you know, high level of growth without, you know, super compromise.

735
00:49:09.740 --> 00:49:13.784
I would say, I mean, there's some people that ignore their health, which is a clear mistake.

736
00:49:13.824 --> 00:49:16.186
And if they are, then they should start paying attention to it.

737
00:49:16.206 --> 00:49:22.972
But once they start paying attention to it, there is so much information online that it's almost overwhelming.

738
00:49:23.772 --> 00:49:23.973
And...

739
00:49:25.174 --> 00:49:34.680
They'll try one thing, they'll try one diet, they'll try one workout routine, and then they'll hear from another influencer online to do this or try that supplement.

740
00:49:34.700 --> 00:49:39.824
And everybody has all these different incentives for, you know, talking about the thing that they believe in.

741
00:49:40.967 --> 00:49:42.387
How do people navigate?

742
00:49:42.708 --> 00:49:48.709
How do people navigate so much information about what to take, what to do, what the routine should be?

743
00:49:49.770 --> 00:49:57.692
Because I come from a sports background and I still work out probably more than most people and it is still overwhelming to understand.

744
00:49:58.092 --> 00:50:05.594
So I can only imagine if somebody is not from a sports background and hasn't been playing sports since they were like five years old and now they're realizing they should figure it out.

745
00:50:05.954 --> 00:50:07.935
It would be like, people don't even know what a macro is.

746
00:50:08.535 --> 00:50:14.078
let alone what all these different things do and, and which ones are true and which ones are untrue.

747
00:50:14.378 --> 00:50:17.739
So like, how do you help somebody navigate this space?

748
00:50:17.979 --> 00:50:18.519
Well, you're right.

749
00:50:18.640 --> 00:50:21.301
I mean, there's so much noise right now, right?

750
00:50:21.961 --> 00:50:27.403
And you have everyone coming out with some type of regurgitated version of something else, right?

751
00:50:27.484 --> 00:50:31.245
I've never, I've never seen so much regurgitated dribble in my life.

752
00:50:31.745 --> 00:50:33.086
It's part of my social media.

753
00:50:33.106 --> 00:50:34.327
I actually call it out.

754
00:50:34.347 --> 00:50:36.067
I get a kick out of these kinds of things.

755
00:50:36.888 --> 00:50:37.068
Um,

756
00:50:37.628 --> 00:50:43.692
You know, there is a level of intuition we all must gather.

757
00:50:44.272 --> 00:50:48.395
You know, it seems to be like a sacred muscle that's atrophied, right?

758
00:50:48.935 --> 00:50:49.976
We've lost a lot, apparently.

759
00:50:50.016 --> 00:51:03.485
We have lost a lot, which is part of back to childhood is you, you know, if you're not in nature and around your homies and around older kids too, to learn from them and going through conflict and all that kind of stuff, you can't really build intuition.

760
00:51:03.505 --> 00:51:03.845
Yeah.

761
00:51:04.145 --> 00:51:08.930
That's a, that's a key like characteristic is that we need to have direct observation when we're kids.

762
00:51:09.491 --> 00:51:17.259
We can't be like blended to just like, you know, electronics and radiations, you know, all that online world that's, you know, video games or whatever.

763
00:51:17.279 --> 00:51:21.043
That's, that's not allowing that that's atrophy at a very early age.

764
00:51:22.164 --> 00:51:29.809
And so tap into your intuition, like, you know, look in the mirror and go, where do I stand today with my health, my mental health, my physical health?

765
00:51:30.149 --> 00:51:31.870
Am I where I want to be?

766
00:51:31.910 --> 00:51:33.371
You know, am I explosive?

767
00:51:33.471 --> 00:51:34.772
Can I dunk a basketball?

768
00:51:35.072 --> 00:51:40.015
If you're six feet tall or taller, you should be able to dunk a basketball, you know, at a certain age.

769
00:51:40.455 --> 00:51:41.756
Am I sprinting every day?

770
00:51:41.776 --> 00:51:43.076
Am I flexible?

771
00:51:43.216 --> 00:51:44.277
Am I hydrated?

772
00:51:44.297 --> 00:51:45.937
You know, just the basics.

773
00:51:45.958 --> 00:51:52.080
You don't have to go down these like hyper intensive, so much like left brain analytics.

774
00:51:52.120 --> 00:51:53.641
You got to look at every biomarker.

775
00:51:53.681 --> 00:51:58.223
You got to look at all the, but this is too much, you know, got to start sharpening the blade somewhere.

776
00:51:58.783 --> 00:52:00.444
So I always take it back to the basics.

777
00:52:00.784 --> 00:52:01.644
Am I sleeping good?

778
00:52:01.704 --> 00:52:02.945
Am I in a good relationship?

779
00:52:03.005 --> 00:52:04.165
Am I drinking clean water?

780
00:52:04.265 --> 00:52:05.866
How many steps am I getting every day?

781
00:52:06.226 --> 00:52:07.666
How does my body feel to me?

782
00:52:07.746 --> 00:52:09.847
How do I feel in my body, right?

783
00:52:10.307 --> 00:52:11.848
Where are my thoughts every single day?

784
00:52:11.868 --> 00:52:16.109
Am I going directly into fear, stress, anxiety, and then looking to escape?

785
00:52:16.569 --> 00:52:17.670
Or am I optimistic?

786
00:52:17.750 --> 00:52:18.670
Do I feel good?

787
00:52:19.110 --> 00:52:22.151
Have I been on pharmaceutical drugs for a certain period of time?

788
00:52:22.471 --> 00:52:24.872
Is that something that seems normal and regular for me?

789
00:52:24.892 --> 00:52:27.173
You know, it's just, we got to get to those things.

790
00:52:27.693 --> 00:52:35.435
Then we can go into the secondary, the third layers, the fourth layers and start using some of the modalities and technologies and supplements and all that kind of stuff.

791
00:52:35.455 --> 00:52:42.457
So I think it's a basic litmus test or some kind of overall theme.

792
00:52:43.558 --> 00:52:45.638
Have I cleansed?

793
00:52:45.658 --> 00:52:47.259
A lot of people are like, what is that?

794
00:52:47.279 --> 00:52:48.359
What does cleansing mean?

795
00:52:48.879 --> 00:52:49.719
It's like basic.

796
00:52:50.300 --> 00:52:51.120
We have to cleanse.

797
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.545
I almost feel like detox vacation is more important than nutrition today.

798
00:52:55.966 --> 00:52:57.468
I'm getting to that point.

799
00:52:57.788 --> 00:53:00.592
Am I bathing myself under blue lights all day long?

800
00:53:00.992 --> 00:53:01.453
You know what I mean?

801
00:53:01.493 --> 00:53:09.904
Am I watching TV at night getting hit with blue light, which is destroying my body's ability to produce melatonin and keeping me...

802
00:53:10.284 --> 00:53:11.305
up like it's daytime?

803
00:53:11.865 --> 00:53:19.329
You know, am I, do I have whatever the plugins, you know, Glade plugins, all the air fresheners, all the air fresheners.

804
00:53:19.369 --> 00:53:21.751
Am I getting exposed to all these toxins?

805
00:53:21.771 --> 00:53:23.872
Am I breathing in these toxins all day long?

806
00:53:23.952 --> 00:53:26.493
You know, um, does it hurt to get out of bed?

807
00:53:26.754 --> 00:53:30.035
Do my knees feel wobbly and achy or my ankles sore?

808
00:53:30.075 --> 00:53:31.696
Am I swelling in my cab?

809
00:53:31.756 --> 00:53:32.597
Are your thoughts clear?

810
00:53:32.717 --> 00:53:33.157
Yeah.

811
00:53:33.317 --> 00:53:33.798
All of that.

812
00:53:33.838 --> 00:53:37.560
Like these are, these are just, just, you got to get through these basic things.

813
00:53:37.580 --> 00:53:38.060
Um,

814
00:53:38.140 --> 00:53:42.083
And if you're listening to this, just write all these things down and then create a checkbox.

815
00:53:42.103 --> 00:53:46.727
What I do is, before I go to bed every night, I do about a 15-minute meditation.

816
00:53:47.668 --> 00:53:55.634
This is called the Rosicrucian practice, which is an ancient order from thousands of years ago, where they would evaluate their entire day.

817
00:53:56.395 --> 00:54:05.242
Everything that happened from rise to sundown, everything, emotions, actions, energy, communication,

818
00:54:05.982 --> 00:54:09.223
anger, resentment, frustration, escapism, all of those things.

819
00:54:09.723 --> 00:54:12.384
And they would, you know, you'd conclude on each one.

820
00:54:12.404 --> 00:54:16.525
So you have a verdict of what the experience was, why it happened and how did it make you feel?

821
00:54:17.065 --> 00:54:24.627
Can you imagine doing that for the next 30 days every night, offering yourself an evaluation before you go to bed on your entire day?

822
00:54:24.647 --> 00:54:31.968
Do you know what that would do for your brain and your recall and your neuroplasticity, let alone the outcomes of your

823
00:54:35.472 --> 00:54:37.714
That's a little bit of discipline, right, to do that?

824
00:54:38.435 --> 00:54:43.860
But don't you think at the core of that means that you're telling your soul, your body, that you're worth it?

825
00:54:45.157 --> 00:54:55.862
That is an empowerment that gives you the highest level of confidence more than any of the motivational crap you're seeing on social media.

826
00:54:55.982 --> 00:54:57.643
This is how the samurai did it.

827
00:54:58.183 --> 00:55:00.144
This is how the ancient masters did it.

828
00:55:00.764 --> 00:55:06.367
They were so methodical with their movement, with their decision-making, art of war, right?

829
00:55:06.707 --> 00:55:09.368
Everyone wants to talk about stoicism and all these things.

830
00:55:09.728 --> 00:55:11.309
You can read all the quotes you want.

831
00:55:11.329 --> 00:55:11.969
Right?

832
00:55:12.029 --> 00:55:16.134
But if you're not practicing the embodiment, it's lunacy.

833
00:55:16.194 --> 00:55:19.078
I'd rather you just go berserk and have a good time and call it a life.

834
00:55:19.887 --> 00:55:27.108
then act a certain way and feel good about reading something and posting it and being proud of it and blah, blah, blah.

835
00:55:27.128 --> 00:55:29.669
But if you're not embodying it, what are you doing?

836
00:55:29.989 --> 00:55:34.249
I've thought about this idea so much that I actually may be writing a book on this idea.

837
00:55:34.770 --> 00:55:36.110
It's called The Knowing Doing Gap.

838
00:55:36.690 --> 00:55:38.590
And it is so relevant to this audience.

839
00:55:38.950 --> 00:55:43.251
And I tell them all the time, like, stop listening to this podcast and go do shit in your life.

840
00:55:43.291 --> 00:55:46.792
Like, go take some note, take a note down, take one note down, go do it.

841
00:55:47.032 --> 00:55:47.312
Yeah.

842
00:55:47.652 --> 00:55:48.152
You know why?

843
00:55:48.172 --> 00:55:48.252
Why?

844
00:55:48.612 --> 00:55:48.832
Why?

845
00:55:48.892 --> 00:55:49.753
Because we need them.

846
00:55:51.134 --> 00:55:51.694
You need them.

847
00:55:51.834 --> 00:55:52.375
I need them.

848
00:55:52.695 --> 00:55:55.377
I need my brothers and sisters to step the fuck up.

849
00:55:56.585 --> 00:55:58.486
I, and I'm calling myself that.

850
00:55:58.546 --> 00:56:03.808
I need to get, I need to keep sharpening the blade because you chop wood, you carry water, you become enlightened.

851
00:56:04.369 --> 00:56:05.409
And then what do you do the next day?

852
00:56:06.109 --> 00:56:09.091
You wake up and you chop wood and you carry water and you become enlightened.

853
00:56:09.111 --> 00:56:10.011
You do it the next day.

854
00:56:10.552 --> 00:56:13.153
This is, there's no like peak of the mountain.

855
00:56:13.513 --> 00:56:14.994
This is a consistency.

856
00:56:15.034 --> 00:56:16.294
This is every day.

857
00:56:16.454 --> 00:56:17.755
This is sharpening the blade.

858
00:56:18.215 --> 00:56:19.936
You know, to sharpen the blade, you need a rock.

859
00:56:20.796 --> 00:56:21.917
Rock is foundation.

860
00:56:22.377 --> 00:56:24.438
You know, you need that foundation.

861
00:56:24.658 --> 00:56:25.379
He needs that.

862
00:56:25.539 --> 00:56:26.099
I need that.

863
00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:27.240
We all need that.

864
00:56:27.380 --> 00:56:31.523
Because if we can start, remember we talked about 98% of the population is not on their purpose.

865
00:56:31.923 --> 00:56:33.644
If you're not on your purpose, you're escaping.

866
00:56:33.845 --> 00:56:34.825
That's just, that's a fact.

867
00:56:35.005 --> 00:56:35.886
You're in escapism.

868
00:56:36.366 --> 00:56:39.929
If you're in escapism, you're bringing nothing to society except taking.

869
00:56:39.969 --> 00:56:41.470
You're parasitic by nature.

870
00:56:41.910 --> 00:56:48.635
That's why energy exchanges with certain people are gnarly because they're coming at you with one eighth of water in their cup.

871
00:56:49.556 --> 00:56:50.917
And they, it's unconscious.

872
00:56:51.577 --> 00:56:54.039
They don't realize they're vampirically draining you.

873
00:56:55.312 --> 00:56:57.794
But someone who's in their discipline, you feel it.

874
00:56:58.234 --> 00:57:00.436
And I have empathy for that too.

875
00:57:00.496 --> 00:57:02.618
I'm not just like, you're evil, get the fuck out of my face.

876
00:57:03.098 --> 00:57:04.359
No, I understand.

877
00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:05.941
There's trauma there.

878
00:57:06.441 --> 00:57:08.883
But they're not doing anything about it.

879
00:57:08.903 --> 00:57:10.144
They're in victimhood.

880
00:57:10.965 --> 00:57:13.046
And victimhood creates scarcity.

881
00:57:13.066 --> 00:57:13.847
It creates lack.

882
00:57:13.907 --> 00:57:15.048
It creates poverty conscious.

883
00:57:15.308 --> 00:57:21.813
All the things that are chopping them off from having real relationships that attract abundance.

884
00:57:23.274 --> 00:57:24.875
The whole thing is poetry.

885
00:57:25.395 --> 00:57:27.056
HubSpot is a success story partner.

886
00:57:27.216 --> 00:57:32.058
Now, every entrepreneur, founder, CEOs listening right now needs to pay attention.

887
00:57:32.398 --> 00:57:33.139
I have a question for you.

888
00:57:33.459 --> 00:57:41.082
When a buyer asks AI for a solution or a product that your business sells, does your business come up?

889
00:57:41.362 --> 00:57:44.203
The answer is that most companies have no idea.

890
00:57:44.523 --> 00:57:51.344
They don't know if their name shows up in any of the AI tools, chat, perplexity, Claude.

891
00:57:51.744 --> 00:57:58.325
And by the time they find out, they have lost tons of traffic and tons of deals to someone who did show up.

892
00:57:58.705 --> 00:58:00.226

895
00:58:09.468 --> 00:58:12.251

896
00:58:12.751 --> 00:58:16.535

So every day there's another headline about how your business is already behind on AI.

901

And the real problem isn't just your business is behind on AI.

903

Monarch is a success story partner.

915
00:59:27.692 --> 00:59:28.412
Now, quick question.

916
00:59:28.552 --> 00:59:30.513
Do you know where your money went last month?

917
00:59:30.613 --> 00:59:32.354
Not roughly, but exactly.

918
00:59:32.454 --> 00:59:33.175
And most people don't.

919
00:59:33.395 --> 00:59:34.315
And I didn't for years.

920
00:59:34.375 --> 00:59:36.497
And that is most of our money stories, right?

921
00:59:36.577 --> 00:59:40.319
When we first start our career, we have one income and one account, and you can kind of wing it.

922
00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:48.443
But once you're running businesses, once you're investing, once you're carrying 50 different subscriptions that you stop paying attention to, winging it gets super expensive.

923
00:59:48.643 --> 00:59:49.664
Monarch fixed that for me.

924
00:59:49.744 --> 00:59:51.745
It is the personal finance app that tracks

925
00:59:52.065 --> 00:59:52.485
everything.

926
00:59:52.545 --> 00:59:56.608
So that means accounts, investments, savings goals, spending all on one screen.

927
00:59:56.728 --> 01:00:00.431
The first week I had it, it flied recurring charges I've been paying for months without realizing.

928
01:00:00.531 --> 01:00:06.255
And every single week, the AI recap tells me if spending spiked, if my net worth moved, and what bills are coming.

929
01:00:06.275 --> 01:00:09.517
And I can just ask it, hey, can I afford this trip without touching my savings?

930
01:00:09.577 --> 01:00:12.699
And I can get a real answer based on my actual numbers.

931
01:00:12.799 --> 01:00:14.960
It is a financial advisor in your pocket.

932

01:00:27.812 --> 01:00:28.613
Where do people start?

937
01:00:29.034 --> 01:00:31.817
Because you attack the problem from both angles.

938
01:00:32.397 --> 01:00:34.880
You attack it from the body and you attack it from the mind.

939
01:00:37.169 --> 01:00:42.811
What's the most high leverage activity they can do right now?

940
01:00:43.391 --> 01:00:43.711
Writing.

941
01:00:44.192 --> 01:00:45.352
That solves everything?

942
01:00:45.612 --> 01:00:46.752
It's number one in my book.

943
01:00:47.213 --> 01:00:49.473
I don't think there's anything, for lack of a better word.

944
01:00:50.174 --> 01:00:51.014
I think it's number one.

945
01:00:51.814 --> 01:00:54.415
Writing, and I'm talking about actually writing.

946
01:00:54.515 --> 01:01:00.337
I'm talking about transcribing, you know, brain, kinetic, physical body writing.

947
01:01:00.738 --> 01:01:03.058
Not voice memos, not typing in notes.

948
01:01:03.539 --> 01:01:04.199
Those are good too.

949
01:01:05.059 --> 01:01:09.541
But writing is a form of magic.

950
01:01:10.081 --> 01:01:11.142
There's a magic to that.

951
01:01:11.282 --> 01:01:14.563
Why do you think all the ancient scrolls were written?

952
01:01:15.203 --> 01:01:16.944
Or why does it say it was written?

953
01:01:17.584 --> 01:01:20.065
There's a coding that happens when you write.

954
01:01:20.085 --> 01:01:22.086
There's a responsibility.

955
01:01:22.106 --> 01:01:22.967
There's an integrity.

956
01:01:23.007 --> 01:01:28.449
You're creating something that was a figment, and you're putting it into the material world.

957
01:01:28.909 --> 01:01:30.330
And you're doing it with your hands.

958
01:01:30.930 --> 01:01:31.210
right?

959
01:01:31.691 --> 01:01:35.093
That's a powerful spell that you're casting.

960
01:01:35.653 --> 01:01:38.595
So if you're not writing, you're missing the whole thing.

961
01:01:38.915 --> 01:01:40.356
And I'll call myself out.

962
01:01:40.396 --> 01:01:44.758
Like, I'll go weeks where I'm not writing, and I start to feel it.

963
01:01:45.279 --> 01:01:46.499
I start to feel that I slip.

964
01:01:46.720 --> 01:01:56.926
I've said this a few times because when AI became very popular, I would start outsourcing some of my writing to AI, and I felt like my brain deteriorating.

965
01:01:57.306 --> 01:01:58.767
I couldn't pull my words as quickly.

966
01:01:58.787 --> 01:02:00.068
I couldn't organize my thoughts

967
01:02:01.128 --> 01:02:08.895
I would try and teach something and realize that I don't actually know it compared to when I spent a month writing newsletters and topics, writing about this topic.

968
01:02:09.275 --> 01:02:10.556
And your integrity goes down.

969
01:02:10.576 --> 01:02:13.379
Do you get what I'm saying?

970
01:02:13.399 --> 01:02:21.185
Like a man who's in a faithful relationship, for example, and you could, this is no judgment.

971
01:02:21.325 --> 01:02:28.992
I don't care if someone's in open relationships or their faithful relationship, but if you've sworn to monogamy and you're not monogamous,

972
01:02:30.543 --> 01:02:33.793
you're devaluing yourself and that shows up.

973
01:02:35.275 --> 01:02:36.535
Because your soul knows.

974
01:02:37.536 --> 01:02:42.797
So when you feel that, your integrity goes down, you feel, you don't feel good.

975
01:02:42.917 --> 01:02:44.297
It's not, it doesn't feel good.

976
01:02:44.798 --> 01:02:46.938
And that shows up on how you take care of yourself.

977
01:02:47.438 --> 01:02:48.158
You get what I'm saying?

978
01:02:48.258 --> 01:02:50.879
It's all connected and it's the same thing.

979
01:02:50.899 --> 01:02:54.600
So you asked me what's the most important thing I think people can do is write.

980
01:02:55.500 --> 01:02:56.861
And write anything you want.

981
01:02:57.361 --> 01:02:59.742
You know, it doesn't have to be your 10 commandments every day.

982
01:02:59.762 --> 01:03:00.862
It could be anything.

983
01:03:01.562 --> 01:03:02.722
Don't bypass that.

984
01:03:03.162 --> 01:03:14.906
You know, if you show up for that, you write, you write your thoughts, you write your emotions, you write how you feel, you write your desires, you write whatever, whatever it is, you're now creating that authority in yourself.

985
01:03:15.266 --> 01:03:19.087
And that spins out into some beautiful momentum.

986
01:03:19.467 --> 01:03:20.427
And it does organize.

987
01:03:20.447 --> 01:03:24.028
I mean, like a lot of spiritual sickness begins in your mind.

988
01:03:25.069 --> 01:03:29.070
And when you write, you're forced to have a clear mind.

989
01:03:30.150 --> 01:03:32.551
I genuinely believe writing helps me think better.

990
01:03:32.571 --> 01:03:33.291
100%.

991
01:03:33.471 --> 01:03:40.653
And when you can think better, I feel like a lot of the spiritual sickness, it's not going to completely, I don't want to upset people.

992
01:03:40.673 --> 01:03:43.814
It's not like writing is going to get rid of true mental health problems.

993
01:03:45.194 --> 01:03:46.235
But it's a start.

994
01:03:46.575 --> 01:03:47.475
That is.

995
01:03:47.595 --> 01:03:51.116
I think that the other activity would be something physical.

996
01:03:51.156 --> 01:03:53.657
But if you write every day and do something physical every single day,

997
01:03:54.873 --> 01:04:01.020
I think that if the general population actually did this, I think you'd look at data and there's way less mental health issues.

998
01:04:01.081 --> 01:04:04.485
It would change the landscape of our known world right now.

999
01:04:05.045 --> 01:04:12.434
If integrity and that level of commitment and consistency and discipline and devotion to self started to climb,

1000
01:04:13.455 --> 01:04:14.176
I'll be next level.

1001
01:04:14.196 --> 01:04:20.020
That's why this AI thing is just so problematic because AI has issues across the board.

1002
01:04:20.540 --> 01:04:24.543
There's so many different ways we can talk about it, but this is a primal one.

1003
01:04:24.583 --> 01:04:29.766
We're circumventing our own creative spark to a whole nother level now.

1004
01:04:30.386 --> 01:04:31.447
Before it was plagiarism.

1005
01:04:32.308 --> 01:04:36.090
Now it's AI plagiarism, and that is a big trouble.

1006
01:04:36.471 --> 01:04:37.851
So along with writing...

1007
01:04:38.736 --> 01:04:45.481
Think of writing for your brain and your nervous system as like plyometrics and sprinting and functional movements for your body.

1008
01:04:46.142 --> 01:04:53.207
We're talking about a very adaptive near kinetic connection with source and your body and your brain.

1009
01:04:54.028 --> 01:05:04.616
You start writing, you start doing functional movements and testing your body's ability for resilience, the adaptation stress that I talked about.

1010
01:05:05.336 --> 01:05:07.377
Now you're really, now you're in a flow state.

1011
01:05:07.857 --> 01:05:08.918
Now something's triggering.

1012
01:05:09.398 --> 01:05:15.980
And there's actually like recall and memories that will start to pop up that you're like, oh, I haven't thought about that in so long.

1013
01:05:16.641 --> 01:05:24.244
Let me address that because it's been sitting in my kidney for the last like 20 years or it's sitting in my vertebrae for the last five years.

1014
01:05:24.264 --> 01:05:24.724
Who knows?

1015
01:05:25.324 --> 01:05:26.625
Our bodies hold memories.

1016
01:05:27.325 --> 01:05:28.546
but we got to open that up.

1017
01:05:29.226 --> 01:05:30.887
We got to get the spine mobile.

1018
01:05:31.228 --> 01:05:33.589
That's another thing for me is mobility.

1019
01:05:34.610 --> 01:05:39.013
Spinal health, spinal hygiene is powerful for us.

1020
01:05:39.894 --> 01:05:43.696
All your neurokinetics, your mind is basically governing your heartbeat.

1021
01:05:43.816 --> 01:05:46.718
The autonomic nervous system is run through the central nervous system.

1022
01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:48.580
So if you're compressed,

1023
01:05:49.320 --> 01:05:59.551
and you have back injuries and bad posture and your neck placement is off and pelvic, all this stuff, your body and your brain are not getting the right messaging.

1024
01:05:59.591 --> 01:06:01.653
So your liver can start failing.

1025
01:06:02.193 --> 01:06:03.535
Your heart will have issues.

1026
01:06:03.675 --> 01:06:05.577
It's not even just about mobility.

1027
01:06:05.797 --> 01:06:08.480
It's about organ health and tissue health and fascia.

1028
01:06:08.540 --> 01:06:12.124
But the average person has no access to this information anymore.

1029
01:06:12.864 --> 01:06:17.310
So, like, we talk about this stuff and someone's going to listen to this and be like, oh, that sounds nice.

1030
01:06:17.710 --> 01:06:22.415
Let me go talk to my GP about how my lack of mobility affects my heart.

1031
01:06:22.976 --> 01:06:24.218
They don't need their GP for this.

1032
01:06:24.378 --> 01:06:26.460
Just get an inversion table and start there.

1033
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:27.762
You know what I mean?

1034
01:06:27.782 --> 01:06:28.502
Get upside down.

1035
01:06:29.303 --> 01:06:29.984
Get hydrated.

1036
01:06:30.865 --> 01:06:31.566
Move your body.

1037
01:06:31.626 --> 01:06:32.647
The number one way to get.

1038
01:06:32.667 --> 01:06:36.330
This is what I'm trying to point out how simple it is because people do get incredibly overwhelmed.

1039
01:06:36.510 --> 01:06:36.931
For sure.

1040
01:06:37.411 --> 01:06:37.611
Yeah.

1041
01:06:37.732 --> 01:06:38.773
No one's coming to save you.

1042
01:06:39.153 --> 01:06:40.094
That's a good life lesson.

1043
01:06:40.194 --> 01:06:40.875
It really is.

1044
01:06:40.935 --> 01:06:47.541
Like if you can just get that through your skull, like, oh, this is 911 or, you know, this is this, you know, it's like, what if there's no grocery store?

1045
01:06:47.561 --> 01:06:48.582
What if there's no electricity?

1046
01:06:48.602 --> 01:06:50.243
What if the cell phone towers go down?

1047
01:06:50.263 --> 01:06:53.026
What if there's a cyber attack, which could happen any minute?

1048
01:06:53.586 --> 01:06:54.187
What are you going to do?

1049
01:06:55.548 --> 01:06:56.128
the fuck are you gonna do?

1050
01:06:56.148 --> 01:06:57.389
I think a lot of people will be SOL.

1051
01:06:57.530 --> 01:06:58.010
That's right.

1052
01:06:58.230 --> 01:06:59.451
And when they're SOL, what do they do?

1053
01:07:00.432 --> 01:07:01.212
It's internal war.

1054
01:07:02.213 --> 01:07:04.855
And, you know, we, we gotta be ready for these things.

1055
01:07:05.335 --> 01:07:12.180
I'm not, you know, I'm not a fear monger, but I'm aware I'm, I'm prepped for this.

1056
01:07:13.501 --> 01:07:16.562
That's why I don't like going into big metropolitan cities.

1057
01:07:16.622 --> 01:07:16.982
For real?

1058
01:07:17.422 --> 01:07:18.162
It stresses you out?

1059
01:07:18.583 --> 01:07:19.663
It does stress me out.

1060
01:07:19.943 --> 01:07:23.724
I just know that a big portion of the population...

1061
01:07:23.744 --> 01:07:37.028
This is why you have your dream farm and... Yeah, that's why I'm outside of that scope is because, you know, I... All the things we're talking about, you know, if we weren't at this state of mentality, I would have no problem.

1062
01:07:37.688 --> 01:07:40.909
But because I know that a majority of the population...

1063
01:07:42.015 --> 01:07:50.194
don't have the adaptations to be able to take on certain things, it's not somewhere that I'd want to be, you know?

1064
01:07:50.835 --> 01:07:51.938
And that's the truth of it.

1065
01:07:52.852 --> 01:07:58.937
And it's painful to say that, you know, especially with so many beautiful, innocent people.

1066
01:07:59.617 --> 01:08:08.043
To start off a career, to start off a business, you have to expose yourself to the world, to social media, to podcasts, to books.

1067
01:08:08.384 --> 01:08:16.730
But through the process of learning and upskilling and evolving yourself so that you can become competent and you can...

1068
01:08:18.231 --> 01:08:26.944
You can trust and bet on yourself and you don't wait for anyone else to save you, not in like a health and wellness way, but in like a competing in the market way.

1069
01:08:27.745 --> 01:08:32.232
Because you do have to create a level of wealth to live comfortably.

1070
01:08:33.113 --> 01:08:35.515
outside, you know, a major metropolitan area.

1071
01:08:35.655 --> 01:08:36.175
100%.

1072
01:08:36.455 --> 01:08:52.826
But through the process of exposing yourself to ideas that can help you become competent, create wealth, you have this influx of negativity of all these horrible, like, messages and news stories that you hear on social media.

1073
01:08:52.866 --> 01:08:53.607
Like, how do you...

1074
01:08:54.307 --> 01:08:57.690
stay plugged in while simultaneously filtering all the BS?

1075
01:08:57.890 --> 01:08:59.171
Yeah, great question.

1076
01:09:00.072 --> 01:09:01.573
I see a lot of that actually here.

1077
01:09:01.593 --> 01:09:02.714
I see it in Austin.

1078
01:09:02.754 --> 01:09:03.575
I see it in Miami.

1079
01:09:03.635 --> 01:09:05.156
I see it in certain parts of LA.

1080
01:09:05.977 --> 01:09:12.082
This is a, you know, everyone's out and about moving around and I can appreciate that.

1081
01:09:12.542 --> 01:09:14.384
You know, there's a lot of social clubs here.

1082
01:09:14.424 --> 01:09:16.686
There's a lot of fitness here.

1083
01:09:17.626 --> 01:09:19.208
And I respect that.

1084
01:09:19.928 --> 01:09:32.998
Um, but I'm also, you know, I'm part of that same hypocrisy that we talked about, you know, or it's like, we're in a world where you have to have financial abilities to drink clean water, to bathe in clean water.

1085
01:09:33.098 --> 01:09:45.327
So if I can just lock that into my, my bank and my head, and then I'd be like, okay, you know, we, I have to get after it and I have to make a path and do what I can do.

1086
01:09:45.347 --> 01:09:46.027
And yeah.

1087
01:09:47.168 --> 01:10:01.438
My thing is, is that if you can create abundance without having to take from somebody, you've already found the solution in life, you know, where you're not stealing or threatening or that kind of frequency.

1088
01:10:02.685 --> 01:10:03.125
Have at it.

1089
01:10:03.505 --> 01:10:14.949
Whatever that industry is, whatever that business is, whatever it is, if you found a unique angle that you can offer that's going to allow for more abundance pathways for other people, because that's really what money is.

1090
01:10:14.989 --> 01:10:16.189
It's currency, right?

1091
01:10:16.949 --> 01:10:17.469
Current.

1092
01:10:17.729 --> 01:10:18.570
It's a current.

1093
01:10:18.810 --> 01:10:19.710
It's an energy.

1094
01:10:20.630 --> 01:10:21.370
It's flowing.

1095
01:10:22.171 --> 01:10:26.172
We think of money as just like pounds of gold or whatever that just...

1096
01:10:26.892 --> 01:10:27.813
reaches you and sits.

1097
01:10:27.853 --> 01:10:28.653
It doesn't work that way.

1098
01:10:29.193 --> 01:10:30.494
Everything's moving.

1099
01:10:31.094 --> 01:10:42.461
Everything has a flow to it and see it as a river and just see what part of your, you know, repertoire or your, you know, your ideas is going to be part of that channel.

1100
01:10:43.181 --> 01:10:45.384
And where you're going to be putting that abundance.

1101
01:10:45.444 --> 01:10:51.772
Every day I wake up, I've been thinking about where am I investing my time and energy and resources?

1102
01:10:52.332 --> 01:10:54.695
Why do I want to go live in a farm somewhere?

1103
01:10:54.735 --> 01:11:00.342
Well, I don't necessarily want to go live in a farm somewhere just so I can build bigger walls and be away from everyone.

1104
01:11:00.402 --> 01:11:00.682
No.

1105
01:11:01.163 --> 01:11:02.544
I want to be productive over there.

1106
01:11:02.564 --> 01:11:07.068
I want to grow food for the neighborhood over there and provide for over there.

1107
01:11:07.088 --> 01:11:17.015
And I want to go deeper in my studies and practice all the things that I believe in so I can keep sharpening and being part of this whole movement.

1108
01:11:17.416 --> 01:11:18.416
That's my desire.

1109
01:11:18.477 --> 01:11:19.998
I don't want to run from anything.

1110
01:11:20.458 --> 01:11:22.199
I appreciate what you're saying.

1111
01:11:22.399 --> 01:11:28.741
If you can give value, not extract value, if you can give value and receive value yourself, that's the perfect version of entrepreneurship.

1112
01:11:29.021 --> 01:11:30.702
This is ethical capitalism.

1113
01:11:30.982 --> 01:11:31.682
Universal law.

1114
01:11:31.962 --> 01:11:33.163
Universal law.

1115
01:11:33.243 --> 01:11:37.865
But this could mean that what you're building has more friction to it because it's not as easy.

1116
01:11:38.025 --> 01:11:40.086
Kind of like what you're doing.

1117
01:11:40.606 --> 01:11:43.227
So you could build a supplement company in a trillion different ways.

1118
01:11:44.333 --> 01:11:50.097
And it would probably be quicker, faster, more profitable earlier on, or you can do it the way you want to do it.

1119
01:11:50.237 --> 01:11:50.658
That's right.

1120
01:11:50.998 --> 01:11:51.238
Yeah.

1121
01:11:51.598 --> 01:11:55.662
And that would, that, that's, again, that would have been a short term fix.

1122
01:11:55.882 --> 01:11:56.082
Yeah.

1123
01:11:56.162 --> 01:11:57.523
But that's what you're, that's what you're saying.

1124
01:11:57.543 --> 01:11:58.744
Like if you want to, if you want to.

1125
01:11:58.764 --> 01:12:09.092
If you want to go set yourself up for the long haul and you see it with eyes wide open and you have vision outside of just like that first carrot, you know, it's a, what's the line?

1126
01:12:09.112 --> 01:12:10.833
How you do anything's how you do everything.

1127
01:12:10.853 --> 01:12:10.953
Yeah.

1128
01:12:11.272 --> 01:12:21.205
I feel like so many people are lost because they feel like they have to compete in a system that can support their end goals, that can allow them to eventually give tons of value to the world.

1129
01:12:21.605 --> 01:12:26.131
But by participating in that system, that's where all the negativity comes from.

1130
01:12:27.572 --> 01:12:29.573
And it's just, it's very, I find it hard.

1131
01:12:29.613 --> 01:12:33.155
Like for me, I research content all the time and trying to figure out new styles, new formats.

1132
01:12:33.575 --> 01:12:39.418
But by scrolling, I also see so much negativity on Twitter, on TikTok, on Instagram.

1133
01:12:39.778 --> 01:12:42.800
So I'm constantly like, okay, how do I curate my feed?

1134
01:12:43.500 --> 01:12:51.464
And my influence is so that it just serves what I'm trying to do, which is teach people how to live a great life and succeed and be successful and be fulfilled.

1135
01:12:52.004 --> 01:12:55.786
But through the process of that research, you get exposed to so much negativity.

1136
01:12:56.086 --> 01:12:56.626
It's insane.

1137
01:12:56.866 --> 01:13:04.810
It's like the greatest tool that we've ever had access to in the history of the world is also the most toxic thing we've ever had access to.

1138
01:13:04.830 --> 01:13:07.071
That thin line, right, between love and hate.

1139
01:13:07.411 --> 01:13:07.631
Yeah.

1140
01:13:08.311 --> 01:13:13.374
Just like anything else, you know, the greatest of your life is the one that breaks your heart.

1141
01:13:13.994 --> 01:13:17.256
With such extremes comes such chaos.

1142
01:13:17.516 --> 01:13:18.357
It's the same for everything.

1143
01:13:18.377 --> 01:13:24.640
I mean, even AI, it could be such a useful tool to help somebody realize a vision.

1144
01:13:24.660 --> 01:13:25.101
Yeah.

1145
01:13:25.701 --> 01:13:29.243
But it can also be the worst thing that you've ever touched if you don't know how to use it properly.

1146
01:13:29.463 --> 01:13:29.803
Totally.

1147
01:13:29.823 --> 01:13:31.464
And we have no idea where it's going to.

1148
01:13:31.484 --> 01:13:32.925
Well, that's a whole other conversation.

1149
01:13:32.965 --> 01:13:34.266
Because it's an arms race right now.

1150
01:13:35.346 --> 01:13:36.867
I mean, I don't know if you see what I'm doing.

1151
01:13:37.067 --> 01:13:39.108
I'm fighting the glyphosate battle.

1152
01:13:39.589 --> 01:13:41.230
I fought it in Laguna Beach, where I'm from.

1153
01:13:42.130 --> 01:13:46.793
I got the city council and me and a bunch of epic moms to have them stop spraying.

1154
01:13:46.813 --> 01:13:50.595
They wanted to spray our canyons with glyphosate as part of their fire mitigation program.

1155
01:13:51.255 --> 01:13:54.976
And I shut that down and then moved to Lake Tahoe in Nevada.

1156
01:13:54.996 --> 01:13:57.657
And as soon as I got there, everyone found out I was there.

1157
01:13:57.697 --> 01:13:59.297
They brought me into the battle over there.

1158
01:13:59.637 --> 01:14:04.618
They want to spray the Tahoe Basin, one of the most sacred lakes on earth, that entire area with glyphosate.

1159
01:14:05.078 --> 01:14:06.819
Is it because it's a cheap solution?

1160
01:14:06.839 --> 01:14:08.159
It's a cheap solution.

1161
01:14:08.179 --> 01:14:09.519
Again, it's like it's a cutting corners.

1162
01:14:09.619 --> 01:14:10.180
Contract.

1163
01:14:10.200 --> 01:14:11.780
Yeah, it's just like taking an antibiotic.

1164
01:14:12.180 --> 01:14:17.125
When you have, you know, something that you could do naturally without nuking the entire system.

1165
01:14:17.385 --> 01:14:18.586
It's insanity.

1166
01:14:18.666 --> 01:14:25.533
And then you talk about AI data centers, you know, it's, it's hectic right now.

1167
01:14:25.593 --> 01:14:26.834
Our country's already sick.

1168
01:14:27.394 --> 01:14:27.855
It's sick.

1169
01:14:28.735 --> 01:14:30.217
It's, you know, falling apart.

1170
01:14:30.497 --> 01:14:31.818
Infrastructure's falling apart.

1171
01:14:32.599 --> 01:14:34.201
You know, people don't trust the government.

1172
01:14:34.821 --> 01:14:36.323
People don't trust the food systems.

1173
01:14:36.723 --> 01:14:41.829
Like what happened now, you know, Bobby Kennedy got in there and tried to do some good things.

1174
01:14:41.889 --> 01:14:44.872
But, you know, it's just there's distrust all over the place.

1175
01:14:45.413 --> 01:14:48.276
People are living in fear and anger and resentment.

1176
01:14:48.797 --> 01:14:54.643
You know, and I didn't want this to be a doom and gloom podcast, but I think we have to point out the truth.

1177
01:14:56.088 --> 01:15:03.073
Yeah, by pointing that out, then we realize, okay, are we grabbing our swords today and picking it up and getting prepared?

1178
01:15:03.313 --> 01:15:04.354
Yes, I think so.

1179
01:15:04.894 --> 01:15:07.876
And we're not doing it from a place of anger.

1180
01:15:07.896 --> 01:15:14.201
It's coming from a place of passion and empathy for what people are experiencing.

1181
01:15:14.261 --> 01:15:15.201
That's really how I feel.

1182
01:15:15.221 --> 01:15:19.945
I feel like I'm part of this wave of consciousness that is snapping out of the

1183
01:15:20.465 --> 01:15:24.628
the dogmatic programming and stepping forward into their light and into their power.

1184
01:15:25.048 --> 01:15:26.209
I think everybody feels it.

1185
01:15:26.849 --> 01:15:28.971
I think because nobody, I mean like, you know,

1186
01:15:30.535 --> 01:15:32.777
Even just simple comments that you hear all the time.

1187
01:15:32.797 --> 01:15:34.800
Like, oh, I feel healthier when I eat food in Europe.

1188
01:15:35.440 --> 01:15:38.143
As opposed to the U.S. Like, simple, simple thing.

1189
01:15:38.663 --> 01:15:42.467
But that's because, like, you can tell there's something wrong.

1190
01:15:42.587 --> 01:15:43.068
That's right.

1191
01:15:43.368 --> 01:15:44.329
You don't know what it is.

1192
01:15:44.349 --> 01:15:46.832
You can tell there's... You can't quite put your finger on it.

1193
01:15:46.852 --> 01:15:47.613
You just feel off.

1194
01:15:48.053 --> 01:15:50.395
And you're the master magician of your reality.

1195
01:15:50.476 --> 01:15:51.477
I always say that, like...

1196
01:15:52.157 --> 01:16:01.480
You're the, you, you know, maybe certain things you can't fully control, like what's in the water supply, but maybe you can get a filtration system.

1197
01:16:02.020 --> 01:16:08.282
You know, if you have the abundance for that, but you are in control of what you're scrolling, you know?

1198
01:16:08.382 --> 01:16:13.924
And again, it's, these are things that we can't just take for granted.

1199
01:16:14.704 --> 01:16:25.218
We have to behave like a ninja, where we're making sound decisions and not just throwing chants in the wind and saying, let's just see what happens.

1200
01:16:25.258 --> 01:16:27.722
And hoping that somebody's going to take care of you because nobody is.

1201
01:16:27.862 --> 01:16:30.526
I mean, hope is a form of insanity.

1202
01:16:30.546 --> 01:16:31.006
You know, I've...

1203
01:16:31.687 --> 01:16:32.347
I like that quote.

1204
01:16:32.367 --> 01:16:33.087
I've never heard that.

1205
01:16:33.127 --> 01:16:34.068
I just made that up.

1206
01:16:34.088 --> 01:16:34.928
That's very good.

1207
01:16:35.068 --> 01:16:39.790
It is a form of insanity, you know, because I think it's such a crazy thing.

1208
01:16:40.150 --> 01:16:41.090
What is hope?

1209
01:16:41.410 --> 01:16:46.372
You know, it's so funny because we try and tackle the problem from different perspectives.

1210
01:16:46.412 --> 01:16:49.573
So the reason why I put out so much entrepreneur content...

1211
01:16:50.593 --> 01:16:53.676
It is not just because I need everybody to be an entrepreneur to build a business.

1212
01:16:53.696 --> 01:16:58.100
It's because I believe that nobody has your best interests in mind except you.

1213
01:16:59.241 --> 01:17:00.582
No government's coming to save you.

1214
01:17:00.602 --> 01:17:02.023
It doesn't matter who's voted in.

1215
01:17:02.483 --> 01:17:04.245
Like, you got to take care of yourself.

1216
01:17:04.645 --> 01:17:11.011
If you have something that happens to your family, a traumatic event, an illness, a car crash, you got to take care of yourself.

1217
01:17:11.131 --> 01:17:12.572
You have to have the means to do it.

1218
01:17:13.613 --> 01:17:14.814
don't depend on anybody.

1219
01:17:14.834 --> 01:17:16.115
Don't depend on an employer.

1220
01:17:16.595 --> 01:17:18.977
Don't depend on insurance.

1221
01:17:19.557 --> 01:17:21.218
Don't depend on the government.

1222
01:17:21.598 --> 01:17:24.801
Don't depend on anything except yourself.

1223
01:17:26.402 --> 01:17:33.687
And I think that it's not, you know, it's unfortunate that it's come to that, but it's a reality.

1224
01:17:34.067 --> 01:17:34.707
It's a reality.

1225
01:17:34.887 --> 01:17:35.788
It's just a reality.

1226
01:17:35.828 --> 01:17:38.610
If you, you know, something bad happens to you,

1227
01:17:40.800 --> 01:17:44.162
I mean, if you can't take care of it, there's a good chance it's not getting solved.

1228
01:17:45.443 --> 01:17:49.046
So it sucks, but it's... And that's why I'm like, bet on yourself.

1229
01:17:49.326 --> 01:17:52.047
Find a way to make a little bit more money than what a company would ever pay you.

1230
01:17:52.328 --> 01:17:56.550
Your skill set's worth more on the open market than it is as a W-2.

1231
01:17:57.491 --> 01:17:59.252
Nothing wrong with W-2, but this is just...

1232
01:17:59.653 --> 01:18:00.833
These are just facts.

1233
01:18:01.013 --> 01:18:02.154
These are just straight facts.

1234
01:18:02.194 --> 01:18:04.296
So I just wish that...

1235
01:18:05.136 --> 01:18:10.840
I approach it from like a how do you create wealth and financial stability to take care of all the other parts of your life.

1236
01:18:11.520 --> 01:18:24.289
You approach it from like have agency in your health decisions and your food decisions and make sure that you are doing your own research and not just ignoring this until it's too late.

1237
01:18:24.729 --> 01:18:27.391
And I think that if you go through life with this –

1238
01:18:29.233 --> 01:18:35.678
as a high agency, sort of sovereign, self-reliant individual, I think you're going to have a much better life.

1239
01:18:35.698 --> 01:18:36.499
100%.

1240
01:18:36.759 --> 01:18:37.180
Well said.

1241
01:18:37.900 --> 01:18:47.149
I, like, this is, this is why this, I didn't know that you were, that you were going to go down this sort of route with what you teach, but like it's, I believe it fully.

1242
01:18:47.669 --> 01:18:49.151
I just wish more people would understand.

1243
01:18:49.431 --> 01:18:50.752
And I think that, that,

1244
01:18:50.792 --> 01:19:16.059
the don't wish don't wish don't wish just have gnosis for it like know it like feel into that feel into all your family and friends all the people you love and just see that in them i want people to also understand that from where they're at today where they're reliant on their again nothing wrong with a gp but don't just be reliant on a gp nothing wrong with the government don't just be reliant on the government

1245
01:19:16.839 --> 01:19:18.100
You could probably make an argument.

1246
01:19:18.120 --> 01:19:21.903
There is a couple of things wrong with certain entities that we, but that's a whole other thing.

1247
01:19:21.983 --> 01:19:24.065
But the point is from where you are.

1248
01:19:24.485 --> 01:19:25.446
And get organized.

1249
01:19:25.526 --> 01:19:25.766
Yes.

1250
01:19:25.846 --> 01:19:36.294
But where you are today, it's not that much of a leap to make a little bit of extra money on the side, to take care of your health, to take care of the things you put into your body, to do the research.

1251
01:19:36.454 --> 01:19:40.717
It's like a couple hours to radically change your life for the better.

1252
01:19:40.837 --> 01:19:41.257
That's right.

1253
01:19:42.138 --> 01:19:46.662
And that's through, I think that's through the devotion, as I mentioned, and getting organized.

1254
01:19:47.263 --> 01:19:50.866
So I think that's another thing that people just, you know, maybe don't get.

1255
01:19:51.587 --> 01:19:54.289
If you're not organized in your life, forget about it.

1256
01:19:54.998 --> 01:20:01.602
You know, that was a big thing for me because I was such a creative artist at some point that, you know, I was just like all over the place.

1257
01:20:01.683 --> 01:20:05.425
And my, my home's like, it was chaotic sometimes.

1258
01:20:06.105 --> 01:20:17.033
And as soon as I like tighten that up and sharpen that up, oh my God, my energy and my direction and where my flow states were heading for productivity went through the roof.

1259
01:20:17.573 --> 01:20:19.014
You got to get organized in your life.

1260
01:20:19.054 --> 01:20:23.676
You can't let things build up to like, you know, my schedule.

1261
01:20:24.336 --> 01:20:30.558
I'm just trying to get through things that, you know, I'm getting through things that I know I have to get through as soon as possible.

1262
01:20:30.918 --> 01:20:34.140
I'm not letting those things build up conversations, emails.

1263
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:35.681
you know, things.

1264
01:20:35.701 --> 01:20:37.503
I'm not letting it come up to the last second.

1265
01:20:38.044 --> 01:20:39.906
You know, that's another thing that's really important.

1266
01:20:39.946 --> 01:20:42.569
If you want to be an entrepreneur, you got to get ahead of it.

1267
01:20:43.089 --> 01:20:45.792
Because if you get organized, then you create space in your life for all the other things.

1268
01:20:45.812 --> 01:20:46.173
That's right.

1269
01:20:46.673 --> 01:20:51.098
But, you know, it's like the work, well, the work fills to the time you give it.

1270
01:20:51.378 --> 01:20:53.661
So if you don't organize your shit, then you can find...

1271
01:20:54.101 --> 01:21:16.226
endless amounts of work to do and then not only not only does the the most important things your your friends your family your physical health your men then all the other stuff you should be researching studying learning about you have no time for that that's right and then people live that life for forever and then they wake up one day when they're like 70 and their health has gone to shit and they have no money to retire and they're like what do i do now

1272
01:21:16.470 --> 01:21:17.251
That's exactly right.

1273
01:21:17.711 --> 01:21:23.236
And all that stuff that you just mentioned stacks up and lives rent free in your head.

1274
01:21:24.016 --> 01:21:25.598
And so when that's happening.

1275
01:21:25.718 --> 01:21:26.919
Yeah, I'm so stressed now.

1276
01:21:27.239 --> 01:21:28.940
Yeah, well, it's there.

1277
01:21:29.301 --> 01:21:32.243
And that's why people don't have the energy to even do anything.

1278
01:21:32.944 --> 01:21:33.204
Right.

1279
01:21:33.264 --> 01:21:35.085
Is because that's all stored there.

1280
01:21:35.906 --> 01:21:37.226
But imagine you clear that.

1281
01:21:37.246 --> 01:21:38.467
It's just like a cleanse.

1282
01:21:38.507 --> 01:21:43.528
If I go and do a real cellular detoxification, I'm not talking about drinking green juice.

1283
01:21:43.828 --> 01:21:56.772
I'm talking about real cleansing, where I'm removing 5 to 10 pounds of matter out of my body through chelations, fasting, all the different materials that I use and herbs that I use.

1284
01:21:57.492 --> 01:22:00.034
All that, that's opening up my clarity.

1285
01:22:00.415 --> 01:22:01.575
It's the same thing with your life.

1286
01:22:01.616 --> 01:22:13.545
You know, if you have a stack of bills, if you have a stack of relationships, if you have a stack of things, if your texts are through the roof, your emails are through the roof, all that is living there, you know it's there.

1287
01:22:14.206 --> 01:22:17.969
And it's suffocating you to not be able to go and do anything.

1288
01:22:18.850 --> 01:22:19.490
It's real.

1289
01:22:20.071 --> 01:22:24.394
We're not designed for all, just in my opinion, we're this too much

1290
01:22:25.235 --> 01:22:26.056
happening right now.

1291
01:22:26.636 --> 01:22:29.378
We're not designed for this, but we're equipped for it.

1292
01:22:30.339 --> 01:22:34.381
And we'll get, you can sharpen it by getting organized in your life.

1293
01:22:34.642 --> 01:22:38.344
So let's talk about just some last sort of words of wisdom to the audience.

1294
01:22:38.364 --> 01:22:41.766
So first of all, thank you again for, for doing this.

1295
01:22:41.967 --> 01:22:45.049
And for somebody listening, we talked about a lot of different things.

1296
01:22:45.069 --> 01:22:52.554
You spoke about where they can start in terms of their health, their wellness, whether or not it's movement, hydration, what,

1297
01:22:53.154 --> 01:22:55.455
writing things down to help clarify their mind.

1298
01:22:57.635 --> 01:23:00.196
Somebody wants to start improving their life right now.

1299
01:23:01.316 --> 01:23:07.038
Give them one more, one more piece of wisdom, one more thing they can start tomorrow.

1300
01:23:07.398 --> 01:23:21.342
They can, because I know that, you know, whenever you go on these journeys and you start improvement, whether it's personal health, wellness, really, whatever, all the things that you're talking about, these fasts and some of the more intense things,

1301
01:23:22.880 --> 01:23:27.687
that can take you from like, you know, 90% optimization to 100.

1302
01:23:28.047 --> 01:23:36.618
But I think I would just be happy if most people got to 90% optimization in the first place with some of the biggest, you know, levers that they can do.

1303
01:23:36.698 --> 01:23:37.660
So what would one more be?

1304
01:23:38.038 --> 01:23:47.365
I think in some cases we need extremes to like snap out of our nonsense and have these like aha moments where all of a sudden life's completely on a different trajectory.

1305
01:23:47.385 --> 01:23:52.489
Um, but at the same time, even when you get to that level, you still need to sharpen the blade every day.

1306
01:23:52.769 --> 01:23:53.049
Right.

1307
01:23:53.109 --> 01:23:57.672
So consistency is really what's going to empower you to have the best life of all time.

1308
01:23:58.113 --> 01:24:02.716
And you'll feel good about it because momentum's real, you know, and momentum can go any direction.

1309
01:24:02.836 --> 01:24:03.397
You know what I mean?

1310
01:24:03.417 --> 01:24:03.557
Like

1311
01:24:03.957 --> 01:24:05.098
You can go down that way.

1312
01:24:05.118 --> 01:24:06.119
Good or bad.

1313
01:24:06.519 --> 01:24:10.121
Oh, and when it picks up like a snowball, it starts to speed up.

1314
01:24:10.422 --> 01:24:11.502
It's really interesting.

1315
01:24:11.642 --> 01:24:13.904
I've observed it and there's a science to it.

1316
01:24:14.424 --> 01:24:16.986
There's a physics to it and there's an equation.

1317
01:24:17.026 --> 01:24:17.787
It's such a trip.

1318
01:24:18.047 --> 01:24:19.228
That's a whole different conversation.

1319
01:24:20.088 --> 01:24:23.769
Um, I think the theme of our conversation really answers this.

1320
01:24:23.869 --> 01:24:26.350
It's, you know, start with the basics.

1321
01:24:26.550 --> 01:24:27.751
It's not one thing.

1322
01:24:27.851 --> 01:24:31.672
It can't be one thing because it's then that's kind of an illusion.

1323
01:24:31.972 --> 01:24:33.753
You know, it's all of these things.

1324
01:24:33.833 --> 01:24:34.773
It's symbiotic.

1325
01:24:35.193 --> 01:24:36.813
It's where I came up with the name of Symbiotica.

1326
01:24:37.174 --> 01:24:40.095
It's all the thing, all these things coming together to create perfection.

1327
01:24:40.255 --> 01:24:41.755
And how do we define perfection?

1328
01:24:42.315 --> 01:24:43.816
Perfection, they always say is not real.

1329
01:24:44.696 --> 01:24:45.517
I don't know if I agree.

1330
01:24:45.537 --> 01:24:48.960
I think there is a perfect model for every person.

1331
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:51.181
Does it mean that your life is perfect?

1332
01:24:51.262 --> 01:25:00.589
No, but you found your like zone and what feels good and what you can handle and what is, you know, something that you can implement and take on.

1333
01:25:01.470 --> 01:25:03.332
All of our constitutions are different.

1334
01:25:04.012 --> 01:25:08.055
Your constitution, Scott, it's completely different than mine and vice versa.

1335
01:25:08.175 --> 01:25:14.478
So I think where you start is you don't compare yourself with anyone out there.

1336
01:25:15.299 --> 01:25:16.099
You don't look at me.

1337
01:25:16.199 --> 01:25:17.100
You don't look at Scott.

1338
01:25:17.220 --> 01:25:18.981
You don't look at your social media guru.

1339
01:25:19.001 --> 01:25:22.523
You don't look at this successful person, this billionaire, this story, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1340
01:25:23.224 --> 01:25:24.264
Don't compare yourself.

1341
01:25:24.905 --> 01:25:28.307
There's tools that they can offer through shared experiences.

1342
01:25:28.467 --> 01:25:29.888
Great.

1343
01:25:30.348 --> 01:25:31.128
Let it hit you.

1344
01:25:32.069 --> 01:25:33.250
But discern them.

1345
01:25:34.253 --> 01:25:35.073
Don't judge them.

1346
01:25:35.294 --> 01:25:35.894
That's fear.

1347
01:25:36.754 --> 01:25:38.656
Don't take them at face value either.

1348
01:25:38.676 --> 01:25:39.876
Discern.

1349
01:25:40.477 --> 01:25:48.661
Taking at face value is the same thing as studying for an exam the night before and acing the test and then three days later knowing nothing.

1350
01:25:48.681 --> 01:25:50.983
Because you never cared about the information.

1351
01:25:51.403 --> 01:25:53.004
You were just there to do one thing.

1352
01:25:53.384 --> 01:25:54.445
It's an impulse buy.

1353
01:25:54.665 --> 01:25:55.546
Impulse grab.

1354
01:25:55.906 --> 01:25:56.846
Impulse reaction.

1355
01:25:57.727 --> 01:25:58.367
Sit back.

1356
01:25:58.507 --> 01:25:59.608
Take a fucking breath.

1357
01:26:00.168 --> 01:26:00.889
Relax.

1358
01:26:01.389 --> 01:26:02.390
Honor thyself.

1359
01:26:03.350 --> 01:26:07.500
and sit with the information, and see what resonates with you.

1360
01:26:07.941 --> 01:26:10.507
And if it resonates with you, explore it.

1361
01:26:11.263 --> 01:26:12.123
Dedicate yourself.

1362
01:26:12.143 --> 01:26:24.446
Say, I'm going to get up on a Saturday morning at 6 a.m. next week, and I'm going to spend the whole morning for four or five hours, and I'm going to write, and I'm going to think, and I'm going to turn everything off.

1363
01:26:24.966 --> 01:26:27.547
There'll be no phone in my room.

1364
01:26:28.027 --> 01:26:30.608
Get that device away from you.

1365
01:26:30.648 --> 01:26:31.588
There could be notes on it.

1366
01:26:31.608 --> 01:26:32.108
I don't care.

1367
01:26:32.188 --> 01:26:33.649
Just get it away from you.

1368
01:26:33.689 --> 01:26:35.669
Have no connection to that radioactive device.

1369
01:26:35.709 --> 01:26:38.650
Because the thing about these telephones is that

1370
01:26:40.349 --> 01:26:42.641
Anyone in the world, for the most part, can touch you.

1371
01:26:44.118 --> 01:26:45.098
That's not natural.

1372
01:26:45.818 --> 01:26:47.199
That stops creative flow.

1373
01:26:47.239 --> 01:26:59.861
And even the mentality that someone, even if they're not going to call you or text you or social or whatever, or news cycle, whatever the hell it is, even if nothing happens from it, but the thinking that someone can is shedding it part of your brain off.

1374
01:27:01.001 --> 01:27:05.022
And that's some of the best advice I can give someone is to get quiet.

1375
01:27:05.102 --> 01:27:07.922
Some people do Vipassanas where they go to 10 day silent retreats.

1376
01:27:08.103 --> 01:27:08.963
I'm not saying do that.

1377
01:27:09.143 --> 01:27:09.983
If you want go.

1378
01:27:10.743 --> 01:27:14.744
Maybe you got to go to Peru and go into the mountains and go sit with the ayahuasca deros.

1379
01:27:14.784 --> 01:27:15.164
Who knows?

1380
01:27:16.125 --> 01:27:23.367
Whatever it is, just find some silence, offer yourself some self-love and discern some stuff and see who you are.

1381
01:27:24.207 --> 01:27:25.748
Peel the false ego off.

1382
01:27:26.428 --> 01:27:27.328
That's not who you are.

1383
01:27:27.789 --> 01:27:29.509
You know, you're not your anger, your resentment.

1384
01:27:29.829 --> 01:27:30.850
You're not the frustration.

1385
01:27:30.870 --> 01:27:31.670
That's not who you are.

1386
01:27:31.770 --> 01:27:37.412
And this life matters, you know, start telling yourself that like word magic is real.

1387
01:27:38.192 --> 01:27:38.832
That's another thing.

1388
01:27:38.852 --> 01:27:42.334
Like watch how you talk about yourself and how you say things.

1389
01:27:43.114 --> 01:27:44.055
These are nuances.

1390
01:27:44.075 --> 01:27:46.616
You're, you know, we're basically musical instruments.

1391
01:27:46.656 --> 01:27:49.357
We create these sounds and they're vibratory fields.

1392
01:27:49.777 --> 01:27:54.900
So we got to just be very on point with how we control those matters.

1393
01:27:55.460 --> 01:27:56.700
So that's my best advice.

1394
01:27:57.141 --> 01:27:58.581
I want people to connect with you.

1395
01:27:58.681 --> 01:28:00.482
So where can they go to connect with you?

1396
01:28:00.522 --> 01:28:02.343
Symbiotica, we'll put all the links in the show notes too.

1397
01:28:02.523 --> 01:28:03.484
Yeah, yeah.

1398
01:28:03.665 --> 01:28:05.547
We're going to send you some Attica bucks too.

1399
01:28:06.709 --> 01:28:11.696
The only social I'm really on would be Instagram, believe it or not.

1400
01:28:12.117 --> 01:28:13.999
What a funny platform.

1401
01:28:14.760 --> 01:28:15.201
Cherven333.
