  Speaker 1: So we're closing out Contagious Courage and we're going to close it out on Finish Strong, friday Strong.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing that I want to say.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to put a little twist in it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You know, what you need to know is that it's not just about finishing strong.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Brave is how we finish.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir Brave, brave is how we finish.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You won't finish strong by just feeling ready to finish.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You finish strong by being brave, by showing up, whether you're exhausted, maybe a little bit banged up, a little bruised, maybe you don't feel certain, you're not sure, you're shaking, but you're not going to shrink in the back and hide in the shadows.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You're going to choose faith and you're going to step boldly to the throne.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You're going to choose faith and you're going to move forward One step at a time.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: This is about trusting the moment.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Because here's what most people don't realize Courage has a ripple effect.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: What is our theme this week?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Courage is contagious when you carry yourself.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I look at athletes and performers and I look at businessmen and people that I work with, and you know the more elite ones.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: There's a way they carry themselves In the beginning and at the end of the show.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: In the beginning and at the end of the game.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: At the beginning and at the end of the talk.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: The way you carry yourself at the end of the week tells us a lot about who you are.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: The way you show up in the pressure moments oh yeah, the way you keep choosing movement instead of meltdown.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That energy, oh, it spreads.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Other people feel confident and other people think they can do that too.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I remember my mom and my dad, how powerful these two beings are and where my dad's gone now, but but they were wow.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: They just exemplified courage.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: There was no moment where they backed down and never saw them shrink from a challenge.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: They faced things head on and you know what that spread to me and my brothers and my family.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It's a family trait and it's the same on teams.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You know when a team goes on the run, that confidence, it's contagious, it spreads.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: So when you carry yourself like a winner and you show up even in the moments where there's so much pressure and you're on your last ATP molecule, you're on your last bit of energy, look, that's contagious.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It gives your teammates the permission to be bold.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: It shows your family what resilience looks like.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It teaches your community what faith in motion feels like and it tells the world that I don't care what you say to me and how you try to erase me or how you try to put me down.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: You try to erase me or how you try to to put me down.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I have courage and I will stand and I will finish what I started.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: You know, in ancient wisdom they put it this way I have fought the good fight, I finished the race and I've kept the thing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I'll repeat that I fought the good fight, I finished.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Repeat that I've fought the good fight, I've finished the race and I've kept the faith.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: That was Paul in the ancient days sending us a message, a text message from.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I think it was Timothy, I'm not sure, but yeah, that was Paul sending us a text message.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, letting us know how we've got to deal with this.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Let me break it down in modern terms.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You don't need to be perfect and the conditions don't need to be perfect.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You don't need applause.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You need to keep showing up on purpose until the very end.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: That's what greatness is that you're going to be consistent and you're going to keep coming and you're not going to be deterred by external circumstances, because you know who you are, you know what's inside of you and you know who's beside you, bong bong, as they say.
• 5:57

  Speaker 1: Take one more bold rep, one more bold step, make one more brave call.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Say what you mean and mean what you say.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You finish like a warrior, shoulder square, head up, eyes fixed forward with self-trust, and use this affirmation I don't fold, I finish.
