• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and this is vocal dfrag. Vocal d fragging is something
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that we all do, but we don't. We do, but
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: we don't, No, we really do. We will sit there
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and ask ourselves questions in a rearview mirror, in a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: bathroom mirror, we will ask ourselves different things, and then
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: what do we do? We push ourselves to the side
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: because we see people who we want to emulate, to impersonate,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to do just as great, or to be even better,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and we go to them for the answers the cues
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in life, the elemento p's, crossing the t's and dotting
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the eyes. We think they have the answer, and yet
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: none of them, none of them have worn your shoes.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: In other words, when you take a shower and all
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that stink has fallen off your body, you know what
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: does that belong to the person that you were just
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: inspired by. No, it's you. It's your stink. Okay, you
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: can do something about that. You can cover it up
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: with all the perfumes in the world that you got
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a Walmart because it's always cheaper there, or you can
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: figure it out, which is going to take a little
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: bit of bump and grind, and you're gonna have to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: look at yourself in that mirror and say, you know what,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: when it really comes down to it, I am. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: am the greatest person that I've ever met. That is
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: not conceit. That is having the courage and the confidence
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to be able to look at the frame that you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: were given the day that you were born, and to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: be able to take that imagination that's inside that frame
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and do something with it. If you sit around, that's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: still a choice. In the fact, somebody argued with me
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: this past week and they go, there's no such thing
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: as winning is a choice. I don't know why you're
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: even going in that direction, because people don't choose to lose,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you know what they do. And that's the thing about it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You choose to go into the NBA Championship, You've got
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: seven games to get your team to win that big trophy.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And what happens is because of that choice, part of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the consequences could be a loss you choose to get
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: into that tournament. I'll argue with you until I'm blue
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in the face because I have lived this path and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you have lived your path, and our paths will never
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: meet one on one. But that's okay. That's why we
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: vocal bee Frank. So the subject today is based on
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: why are we doing this? Why do we have to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: do this all the time. I'm tired of the updates.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And the updates are those that we get on our
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: computers constantly, with Google, with iPhone, with Android, we are
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: constantly being updated. And how many times do the outlets
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of the digital devices want to have you change your
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: password because oh, because of security value. You know, we've
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: got to change, change, change, change, change. Well, what do
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you do in a situation like that when you finally
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: reach that moment of I'm so tired of all of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: these changes. No, pull the lens back, and I want
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you to look at your own personal life. My daughter
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: is forty eight. I never dreamed one day in my
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: life that I would ever have a forty eight year
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: old daughter with a twenty two year old granddaughter and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a twenty year old grandson. Never dream that, But that's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: part of the changes. And of course, you know, all
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I heard my entire life was men will go through
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the change of life. Well, I guess I didn't get
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: in that line because I never went through it, not yet.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And I'll be sixty four, And I don't want to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: say sty like that because I know in your personal life,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing listening to a sixty
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: four year old, long haired man from Billings, Montana who
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: thinks he can do radio forty six years as after
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: he's been in the industry. I don't know. It's part
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of the change, the evolution, the growth, the setbacks, the visions,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the decisions, the abilities. But the one thing that I'm
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: trying to share with you is that through these changes
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and all those mindsets and moods where you just don't
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: want to do it, you've got to ask yourself that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: question and then question the answers. If I made these changes,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: what's in it for me? See, people hate it when
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I say that. They think that I am this one big, conceited,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: one eyed monster. That is not true at all because
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I've made a lot of people a lot of money.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I have through vocal work, through writing, through all the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: temptations on the planet, so that we could get through
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: all of those changes and make my way toward what
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: they're driving. The better cars they've got, the better look
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: at homes. Their land is not a force, but by God,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it looks like something that belongs on home depot is us.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing about it, is that what are
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you doing to help other people make a shit ton
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of money? You're doing a lot. I don't care if
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you're at a restaurant or if you're working for the hospital,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: what you're doing with your efforts. Oh, they're going to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: give you the money that you make, which is usually
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: always under what you should be making. And then it happens.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You wake up one day and you realize you've made
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of money for other people because you didn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: ask the questions and question the answers. What you did
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was you leaned in on other people who said, well,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: if you do it this way, you're going to find
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that level of success. Well, what's really interesting is is
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that you can be coached, You can have team players
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: be right there with you, You can be right there
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in the center of a gigantic storm with not a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: tree in your yard, your roof has already been blown off.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And what happens during that moment of making the choice
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: or asking the questions? That answer is very simple. You
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: took a step. You had to ask your own gut, instinct,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: your own intuition, how are we going to take the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: next step? Do you see where I'm going here? If
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I say what's in it for me? When it comes
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to doing different projects that involve other people, people will
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: instantly call that conceit overconfident. And yet when you've lost
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: everything and everybody else around you has gained, and you say,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: what is the next step? Why is that not considered
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: conceit because it's not. What it is is being open
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and honest, transparent with the self that you are, the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: very self that you were given birth with. And your
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: mom didn't stuff you back in because she said I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: love you. And if she didn't, you know what, that's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a story too, And that's something that you can grow
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: from because I can guarantee you there are millions of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: people out there that can relate with that experience. But
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: if you keep to yourself and you don't ask the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: questions and question the answers and share a little bit
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of outreach, then we're all going to be growing up
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: all frumpy and bent at the back, and our knees
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: are gonna ache, and our nose is going to have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: so much pollen in it that you've got snut that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you can sell as bee honey. Sounds gross, right, Well,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: what is bee honey? Really? We're basically becoming the snut
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: of the generations because we're allowing other people to control
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: everything that you're doing, especially when it comes to your
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: digital devices. Does Google really ask you do you want
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to do this update? I think when you walk in there,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: into that office, or just jump onto a computer and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden it says, hey, we updated your computer.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Did they ask you? They did not, but they did it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And that's what's going on with the real world, with
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: all of its policies and all of its time collectors.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: The people that feel that this amount of money that
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: we're going to pay you is all you're going to make,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: while the CEOs, the decision makers and everybody else gets
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: their bonuses because they obviously had the tools to cut
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: back on hours, while other families suffered, they lived greater.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: See they are the conceited ones, they are the overconfident ones.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: The chess game cannot be won with no pawns. Think
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: about that. Ask yourself the questions, and question the answers,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and get the answers out of the mouths of those
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that you have labeled the absolute greatest and best. Walk
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in your shoes. You are the greatest you'll ever meet.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I'm erl
