- 0:36Speaker 1: this is Vocal Defragging. Vocal Defragging is taking the time
- 0:40Speaker 1: to ask yourself the questions and then questioning the answers.
- 0:43Speaker 1: We spend way too much time asking others, and nowadays
- 0:47Speaker 1: we ask Chad GPT, Jim and I, and whoever else
- 0:50Speaker 1: is out there, hey, what should I do? What happens
- 0:53Speaker 1: if this goes wrong? What's a positive I should be
- 0:56Speaker 1: looking for? Why don't you ask yourself that question?
- 0:59Speaker 2: I mean, seriously. And if you don't know the answer, okay,
- 1:01Speaker 2: then maybe go and search for different things that people
- 1:04Speaker 2: have done on LinkedIn or go to the business that
- 1:07Speaker 2: you work at and ask a few questions there of
- 1:10Speaker 2: those who have lived it, but don't put a lot
- 1:13Speaker 2: of money or value into it because they haven't walked
- 1:16Speaker 2: in your shoes. It's not that I'm being a jerk
- 1:18Speaker 2: or some sort of disconnected fool here. It's just that
- 1:22Speaker 2: there's a lot of false leaders that are inside company
- 1:25Speaker 2: positions that that got that job because, well, they wanted
- 1:28Speaker 2: more money. They needed to take home some more cash.
- 1:32Speaker 2: They need to pay their bills. I get it. That's
- 1:34Speaker 2: just the American way. But the thing about it is, though,
- 1:37Speaker 2: is that the majority of the people that are on
- 1:40Speaker 2: the workplace front do not know what they're doing. They're
- 1:44Speaker 2: just acting a part. It's a role that they play.
- 1:48Speaker 2: And 95% of them are so addicted to delegation that
- 1:52Speaker 2: that the only thing that they want to do is
- 1:54Speaker 2: watch other people do it and command that they do
- 1:58Speaker 2: it exactly the way they would do it, even though
- 2:00Speaker 2: they're not doing it. Oh, God. And then we want
- 2:03Speaker 2: to invest in that. We want to trust that. Oh,
- 2:06Speaker 2: they're my friend. I got to love my friend. I
- 2:09Speaker 2: love the people I work with. Yeah, keep that in mind.
- 2:13Speaker 2: You are working with them. You're not partying with them.
- 2:16Speaker 2: And what a jerk I'm probably coming across as. No,
- 2:19Speaker 2: I'm just saying. I think it's time that you ask
- 2:21Speaker 2: yourself the questions and question the answers. This is Vocal Defragging.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Big subject today. I see it every day. Because I
- 2:29Speaker 2: walk through this forest. I see a lot of things
- 2:31Speaker 2: in this forest. A lot of things on the ground.
- 2:35Speaker 2: I am not the only human being that walks their
- 2:38Speaker 2: dog through this gorgeous forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina.
- 2:42Speaker 2: How do I know that? Because I see the number
- 2:45Speaker 2: of people who don't pick up after their dogs. Now,
- 2:48Speaker 2: here's the thing. jazzy is usually the first one to
- 2:51Speaker 2: spot it when we're out there because that's just what
- 2:53Speaker 2: dogs do she's going you ain't stepping in that stuff
- 2:56Speaker 2: that stuff man that's got broccoli in it you don't
- 2:58Speaker 2: step in that you're not taking that shit home with
- 3:00Speaker 2: me so i mean literally so the thing is though
- 3:03Speaker 2: is that it makes me wonder if you're not picking
- 3:06Speaker 2: up after your dog inside a forest in a park
- 3:09Speaker 2: downtown uptown center city wherever if you weren't picking up
- 3:13Speaker 2: after your dog What else are you leaving behind you
- 3:18Speaker 2: on the path that you are creating? In fact, somebody
- 3:22Speaker 2: has stepped in it. They knew it was you. They
- 3:25Speaker 2: just won't bring it up to you or correct you. Well,
- 3:28Speaker 2: I'm calling you out. I'm telling you that there's a
- 3:31Speaker 2: lot of mess out here that you created. And really, ultimately,
- 3:34Speaker 2: it is your choice to find out if you want
- 3:36Speaker 2: to pick up after your dog or pick up after yourself.
- 3:40Speaker 2: But the end result is going to be one thing.
- 3:42Speaker 2: And that is... did you succeed in your process of
- 3:47Speaker 2: growing forward by totally ignoring what was in your now
- 3:51Speaker 2: and i do mean that word was because that dog
- 3:54Speaker 2: crap is either on the ground or it's sitting on
- 3:59Speaker 2: someone's shoes right now and they're going to be putting
- 4:01Speaker 2: it on their wooden floors or carpet someplace area someplace
- 4:05Speaker 2: else or they're going to put it on the carpet
- 4:07Speaker 2: or someplace else That's how we are. That's how we do. Now,
- 4:12Speaker 2: what have I done in situations where I forgot my
- 4:14Speaker 2: poopy bag? You're not going to believe this, but I
- 4:17Speaker 2: do do it. There's a reason why I wear socks
- 4:20Speaker 2: when I come into this forest and it has nothing
- 4:22Speaker 2: to do with copperhead snakes. I have been known to
- 4:25Speaker 2: take my right sock off and grab that poop and
- 4:29Speaker 2: throw that sock away. Oh yeah, I ain't that guy.
- 4:33Speaker 2: I'm not going to be the one that people look
- 4:35Speaker 2: at and say, oh, that guy never cleans up after himself.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Pretty interesting kind of words, isn't it? Because I'm sure
- 4:41Speaker 2: you may have heard it at work. Oh, I don't
- 4:44Speaker 2: want them to do it. They don't know what they're doing.
- 4:47Speaker 2: They don't pick up after themselves. It's always a messy desk.
- 4:51Speaker 2: It's always messy where they are, their work area. It's
- 4:54Speaker 2: always messy, messy, messy. Which makes me laugh because Mrs. Steffesen,
- 5:00Speaker 2: my third grade teacher, she used to tell us all
- 5:02Speaker 2: the time, when I look inside your desk inside this classroom,
- 5:07Speaker 2: You've given me a full vision of the world that
- 5:10Speaker 2: you live in. If your desk is messy, that's exactly
- 5:14Speaker 2: what you're doing in your world. Your bedroom is a pigsty.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Your kitchen, the dishes in the sink haven't been washed
- 5:23Speaker 2: in probably about two or three days. You see what
- 5:26Speaker 2: I mean? What is the mess that you are leaving
- 5:29Speaker 2: behind where people have got a pretty darn good image
- 5:34Speaker 2: of of who they think you are. And you might
- 5:36Speaker 2: be totally 100% different on that opinion. You might say,
- 5:39Speaker 2: that's not me. Well, if it ain't you, why'd you
- 5:43Speaker 2: leave the mess behind? Ask yourself the questions, question the answers.
- 5:49Speaker 2: It's right there in front of you. You got to
- 5:51Speaker 2: learn to stop ignoring the calling. And that is pick
- 5:57Speaker 2: up your dog's mess and your mess. Because if you're
- 6:01Speaker 2: leaving the dog junk on the forest floor, I know
- 6:04Speaker 2: what you're doing at work. You don't change. I'm Arrow,
- 6:08Speaker 2: and that's Vocal Deepfrag.
