  Speaker 2: Hey Zaro, And this is vocal d fragging. Vocal d
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: fragging is taking the time to get to know who
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you are as a person.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Do you do that?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, how old are you really? Seriously do you
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: feel old? Do you feel crumpled up? Do you feel used?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like you're not getting anywhere in life?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Have you ever asked yourself questions? And then you know
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: kind of question the answers that you gave yourself or
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: are you pretty much which typical like everybody else? And
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you run to bosses, friends, psychologists, psychotherapists, doctors and other
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: people to give you the answers that you don't want
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to put your energy into You don't want to invest
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in the answer, because what happens if you're wrong? I mean,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: we tend to forget that life is all about that
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: being wrong. That's where you learn, that's where you grow,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: That's where the sunshine comes from, or that ray of
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: light that gives you the inspiration to try, try, try again.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But you've got to ask yourself the questions and then
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: question the answers. I call it vocal d fragging. I
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: also dfrag in a journal, which I've been doing since
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: November of twenty seventeen. My god, we're about ready to
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: answer twenty twenty six. So nine years of asking questions
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and questioning the answers has been in front of me.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And the only reason why I went into a vocal
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: dfrag is because I can go back to that writing
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: anytime and it becomes the interpretation of the moment of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: now and not the interpretation of the moment that it
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: was felt lived out. So therefore, when you vocalize your
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: questions and then question your answers, man, you can't change pitch, volume,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and tone. It's documented inside this digital device, which probably
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: will scare the crap out of a lot of people
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: because it's like, oh my god, it's my voice. I suck. Yeah,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you suck. We all suck. Just get over it. Okay,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you're never going to like your voice. You're never going
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to like anything that you truly say. And if you do, okay,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: tell me the path that got you there to where
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you finally became satisfied with the victory that you had
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: in your personal life. I mean, seriously, be honest with yourself.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Where along the way did you find your victory? And
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: in that process of a victory, how many times did
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you swing at that ball and you struck out? See
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: it's part of the process of not just growing up,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: but growing wiser. This is vocal deep ragg This eftic
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: this week actually came to me late late last night
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: as I was wrapping up a full day of creativity,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and that usually means that I was probably defragging. And
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the thought that came to me was time to pull
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it off the highway and allow the mirages to pass.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I want to say that one more time, because I
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: really wanted to sink inside your mind, body, and soul.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Time to pull it off the highway and allow the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: mirages to pass. Now, instantly, I took it as being
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the message I'm supposed to give to the fourteen year
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: old creative self that I was in Billings, Montana who
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: wanted to have a radio job as his career. He
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: didn't want to be the architect anymore. He didn't want
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to sit there and mess around with being a school teacher.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: He thought, radio is my life. I've been trying to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: do something with it in my bedroom since the mid
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: part of the nineteen seventies. I want to do radio
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: as a profession. This is the fourteen year old in Billings, Montana. Now,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: at sixty three, people will say, forty six years of broadcasting,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: what are you going to retire? My reply has always
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: been a very calm. I don't know how to tell
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the fourteen year old who is still living in Billings, Montana,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that I am hanging up his dream because I'm not.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: But yet this quote came to me. Pull it off
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the highway and allow the mirages to pass. So my
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: d fragging today was based one hundred percent on one thought,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: what in your life do you think is a mirage? Okay,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you're going to have to put on your own shoes.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You cannot wear the shoes of those that inspire you,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to influence you and or give you empowerment. You got
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to put on your own shoes and answer this question.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: What in your life do you see as a mirage
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and why aren't you letting it pass. I grew up
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: in the state of Montana, and one of the things
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that I saw a lot of while we were out
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: there on those long ass highways going up to Bear
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Lake or Cooney Dam, or going down to Sheridan, Wyoming
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to be with family, is that when it's hot out there,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you see a lot of mirages right there on the horizon.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And Mom used to joke around all the time saying,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you can never catch up to a mirage. And I
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: pretty much said, I'm going to change that. I'm going
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to change the fact that we can touch the mirage
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and we can become something from that mirage. I will
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: allow that mirage to serve as the purpose to plan,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the idea, the gift of the presence of now, because
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I see it right now. Therefore it must be something
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that I can utilize as a tool right now. And
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: then how can I teach everything that I learned from
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that mirage now? I don't know if I was just
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: full of crap or what I was thinking when I
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: was that age up there in Montana. But right now
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: at sixty three, I'm really looking at this quote. Time
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: to pull it off the highway and allow the mirages
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to pass? Is that my answer for the fourteen year
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: old kid and building's Montana? What's your answer? Because I'm
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: still trying to figure out what in your life do
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: you see as a mirage and is it time to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: allow it to pass? Did my father ever pass a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: mirage on a highway? Here's a thing. I never looked
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: behind the vehicle to see if that mirage was ever
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: behind us. Do you see what I mean? Did we
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: ever pass the mirage? A mirage is usually right there
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: on the horizon in front of us. So therefore, what
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: was the writer putting on the page last night through
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: methods of defragging, and what was he trying to say?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Pull it off the highway and allow the mirages to pass?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I'm asking you what mirage is? Do you have in
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: your life that you need to allow to pass you?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And if they do pass you, do they serve as
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: an inspiration? Because I just mentioned this not even two
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: or three minutes ago. That mirage is to me where
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to reach it, going to find out what
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: that mirage is about. I'm going to teach it. I'm
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: going to incorporate it in other people's lives. So I
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: bring it back to you again only because I like
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: using examples so that people can grow from the paths
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that we've already walked upon. And did we pull it
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: off the highway and we're allowing the mirage to pass us?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Does a mirage physically exist? One of my podcasts, which
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: is called stream Thinking, I will sit there and say
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: before I jump into the story, it's time to believe
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: in the mirages. It's time to trust the mirages. It
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is time to grow with the mirages. Does that mean
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that you're going to become a mirage? I don't think so.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: There's a lot more to you than that. And the
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: reason why is because in reality, when you look up
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the word mirage, it is something that exists. You can
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: see it right there in front of you. But if
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you touched it, have you learned from it? Have you
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: heard from a mirage? What is a mirage in your
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: personal life? And how can you grow with it? And
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: why would that fourteen year old kid in Willain's Montana
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: tell his mother that I am going to reach that
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: mirage and then I'm going to teach it, pull it
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: off the highway and allow the mirages to pass. It's
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: a heavy thought, but do you see yourself in that
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: mirage or the reality of the moment? Ask yourself the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: questions and then question the answers. I call it defraying.
