  Speaker 1: so easy just to do one podcast, maybe one a week,
• 0:09

• 0:12

  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hey, it's Arrow, and this is Vocal
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Deep Rag. Vocal Defrag is taking the time to ask
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: yourself the questions and then question the answers. We spend
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: so much time asking other people, what should I do?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: How can I do this? What if this happens? Oh,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm guilty of it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: And then I find myself face first in my Defrag journal,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: which I've been keeping since November of 2017. What is today?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I know what my date is, where I presently am.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: It's October 11th, 2026, so what, nine years have gone by?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Nine years of defragging. A lot of questions, a lot
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: of answers.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm relying less on other people to hold the answers
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: that which I think I need, when in fact the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: answers are already there. if you just took the time
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to ask yourself the questions, because what's gonna happen is
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: it's going to build up your personality and your curiosity
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: in the way of you seeking your own truth. Now,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you're gonna hear a lot of wind and you're gonna
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: hear a lot of things falling. This is the tail
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: end of a tropical storm in this forest. This forest
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: has been hit so, so hard. The limbs are down,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the leaves are everywhere, the wind is blowing. My hair,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: which is in the middle of my back, is actually
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: not in my back anymore. It's all over my face.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting here eating human hair while I'm having a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: conversation with you. This is Vocal Beef Fragging. In fact,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I would love for that to be the subject today.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Life after the storm. What do you do? Do you
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: lick your wounds? Do you celebrate the fact that you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: are still here? Do you find yourself in a position
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of change and challenge, victory and celebration? Or do you
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: find yourself in a position of trying to figure out
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: what the hell just happened here? Because you can't control nature.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Weeks and weeks go by. People, those meteorologists will tell
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you the storms are coming. The storms are coming. It's
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: no different than the dude that says the sky is falling.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of people crying wolf right now.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And it seems like the stories that seem to be
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: sticking to your soul are the clickbaits or a president
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that will say whatever is moving through his head. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: everybody just writes it off saying, yeah, it's just a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: goofy old man. He just says whatever he wants to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: because you hit a certain age in life where you
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: can get away with saying crap like that. You know what?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: My dad may have said something like that. And I'm
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: sure my dad of multiple years and decades said some
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: stuff that I thought was pretty damn quacky. ain't going
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to happen to me. And I think that's what this
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: message is about today for you. It ain't going to
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: happen to you. I don't want you to grow old
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and wear a pair of shoes where you think that
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you can rely on stuff that doesn't really pertain to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the truth, that you're going to say some information that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: might offend some people or put you in a boat
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and that doesn't want to float, but it doesn't sink
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to the bottom of the ocean as it is. Do
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you understand where I'm coming from here? A lot of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: things move through each and every one of us on
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a daily basis. And too much of the stuff that
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: we're carrying forward in a verbal motion is exactly what
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I said in the very beginning. Life after the storm.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: There's a big article that's coming out to me. It's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: going to be posted globally. I'm embarrassed by it. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: usually do not do this kind of stuff, but I'm
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: doing it for a good friend. Somebody who I think
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: is going to be one of the greatest storytellers of
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the future. And I'd rather help him in these days
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: of opening success. And so they're doing this big article
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: on me. And one of the things that really got
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: underneath my skin was he asked a question of an
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: event that took place in 1988. I think I mentioned
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: just a few minutes ago. This is 2026. He asked
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a question of an experience. From 1988. And I asked
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: him very calmly, please don't do that. And the reason
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: why is very simple. You're basing my life on a
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: moment that was actually a storm. in my chapters. Now,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: everybody else is seeing this victory. Oh my God, you did,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you did, you did. You had, you had a great
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: time doing this. You must have been so proud and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you didn't walk a single step in my shoes. No,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: this event in 1988 was horrible. It destroyed my creative process.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It put me in positions of decision-making where leaders were saying, well,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: if that's what you're interested in, then let me set
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you up with this. But I have reached that point
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: in the chapters that which I didn't choose to write,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: but I chose to lead and live by, that it's like, oh, dude,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: people want to know what you haven't been wanting them
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to know. And the same is true about you. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that's where I really do kind of bring this up
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: in this vocal defrag. What is it that you know
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that people think they do know but have no clue
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: as to what you do know by way of truly
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: experiencing it. And the sad news about the whole entire
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: project is the fact that your imagination has rewritten that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: story how many times?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I know I hear it all
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the time. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is, is that it's an
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: automatic to whip out the imagination and rewrite the story again.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: based on truth and i try to tell people that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: too when it comes to my daily writing i've been
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a daily writer in a journal since july of 1994
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: oh here comes that date again it's 2026 look at
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: how many years that i have been a daily writer
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and as much as i go in there and i
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: peer into those paragraphs i do know in my soul
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: it is the interpretation of what i felt in that
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: moment And when my eyes meet it in 2026, it
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: is a different interpretation of what's going on after the storm.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: So as I walk through this forest today, after the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: big tropical storm that we had, that has put more
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: limbs from trees on this forest floor, leaves everywhere, temperatures
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: are hot, cold, in the middle, here, there, everywhere. And
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you're sitting there going, who's going to clean up this mess?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: That pretty much sounds like your life, doesn't it? Are
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you going to go ask a friend for some help?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Or are you going to ask yourself the questions and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: then question the answers? I strongly suggest you do it yourself.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Because only you know you. And I know you got
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: some darkness because we all have dark clouds and we
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: all have storms. But more importantly, no matter where you
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: are in life, you've also experienced the day after. It's
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: called Vocal Defragging. I'm Arrow.
