- 1:19man, I have BB Pro Bodybuilder and let me tell you something right now.
- 1:25Because of him, I've been out, I was able to meet Nick,
- 1:26I was able to join the crew, I was able to branch out
- 1:30into so many different things. But John Anderson is with us. Thank you
- 1:34so much for joining us on the Best Experience. Absolutely, thank you guys
- 1:40for having me. This the timing was perfect. I was available all actuality.
- 1:45We were just doing another one actually in all actuality. Well, we'll
- 1:49talk about this now for something for you guys to look out for coming up
- 1:51pretty fast. We John and I and even Ben are doing Elite Ageless Mindset.
- 1:57Now. John is one of the most driven people you were meet,
- 2:00very well put together, knows what he's doing, very organized, and he's
- 2:05got ways of setting things up. And he's one of the most successful businessmen
- 2:10you will ever see. He's all self made. So it's kind of interesting
- 2:15to pick his brain on my show this time you always see see what motivates
- 2:21you, what drives you, How did you come up with all with with
- 2:23your training, business and everything all the way around, because people don't really
- 2:28realize just how successful you are at this. Well, it's kind of a
- 2:34I think if you were to boil it down and look at the one thing
- 2:38that allowed all this to happen would be for progression. Because I'm I'm I
- 2:44guess I'm as you said, I'm driven, and I'm happier moving than sitting
- 2:49still. And sometimes when you're moving, you're moving the wrong way, but
- 2:52you're still finding opportunities or you're maybe you're moving the wrong way, but you
- 2:57get bounced back the right way. But if you're sitting still, nothing's going
- 3:00to happen. And so I mean, goodness, I've had my first real
- 3:06win as an entrepreneur. I created a business and sold it for a half
- 3:10million bucks in my shit, my mid twenties. So you came out of
- 3:15college. I mean I went to college. I have a most people don't
- 3:20know. I have a major in theology and a minor philosophy from the University
- 3:24of Theologyology major in my philosophy. Not to be confused with Portland State.
- 3:30This was a small Catholic school up in Portland. And so I guess there's
- 3:36just people tend to look at us being big, strong dudes, but they
- 3:38don't understand that there's a lot more behind it, you know, damning anybody,
- 3:43because there are so many strong dudes who ended up trading their lives to
- 3:46be a big strong guy because they didn't have They didn't take that drive and
- 3:52put it into all airs and the lives. They just kept it in the
- 3:54gym. And that wasn't me. I would be you know, I took
- 3:58that basically, that drive for the gym, and I turned it into everything.
- 4:01Now what gave me that drive? I was basically a challenge little guy
- 4:05wopping wopping learning disabilities, as we always joke, we got dyslexia, Nick,
- 4:10And there's probably more to it than that was besides dyslexia. But in
- 4:14those days, they didn't have all these names and you know, so CD
- 4:17and all this shit. They just said he's slow. Put him over there.
- 4:20And so I was in, I'm sure you've double the same thing,
- 4:24brother, you know. So basically I was I had to learn I didn't
- 4:30as a little guy. The last thing you want to do is be exile.
- 4:31All you want to do is be like everyone else. And then you
- 4:34quickly learned you get older, you don't want to be like everyone else.
- 4:36But I was you, you're trying. I'm trying to fit in. So
- 4:39I was b busting my hump just trying to get back into normal classes.
- 4:46And so I had to learn to work I say, twice as hard,
- 4:49so I would probably even say three times as hard of different elements to get
- 4:54to where I could actually be with the rest of my classmates. And I
- 5:00mean it was like I told my mom going to junior high, I said,
- 5:02listen, I said, get me out of those classes. I said,
- 5:05I'll find a way. I don't want to go into junior high and
- 5:10put into that room again. And so she went and talked to them and
- 5:14basically forced them to put me into normal classes. And it was a hell
- 5:17of a shock, but I was able to use that work ethic keep my
- 5:20head above water. Just barely, but I did it. And that right
- 5:24there is my biggest blessing I ever had, other than my kids. But
- 5:30if I hadn't actually shit, I might even have my kids if I didn't
- 5:31have this early blessing. So but that was it. It was like that.
- 5:36So for all of you guys that think, oh, man, your
- 5:39story is, oh, I'm this way because of that. Now you got
- 5:43to flip that script. Because of that that challenge that should be a strength
- 5:47because you learn to overcome it, which makes you stronger, which makes you
- 5:50better at moving forward. So your story needs My story is, yes,
- 5:55I was a pathetical little sin of a bitch. That's why I am who
- 5:59I am today in a good way. Don't let that story be oh,
- 6:02I was a pathetical little son of a bitch. That's why I have this
- 6:06job I don't like and I'm not happy with my life, blah blah blah.
- 6:10No, no flip that shit. It's not a crutch you can lean
- 6:13on. It's something to motivate yourself exactly, long term, exactly. So
- 6:17basically, from there, I discovered weightlifted and quickly realized I was better at
- 6:23weightlifting than I was the sports I was playing. And but the main thing,
- 6:27I was finally good at something and that just for me, that was
- 6:30it, and it was like everything just started falling into place. I was
- 6:34taking that work ethic and I was applying it in the weight room and getting
- 6:39started happening for me. I was I was. I guess I was.
- 6:43You could say I was happy because I was making progress. It was an
- 6:46actual tangible way for me to see I was making progress versus all everywhere else
- 6:51in my life. I was busting my ass, and it was it was
- 6:55harder to see the progress because it was busting my ass just to just to
- 7:00keep my my head above. I'm busting my ass and I'm actually like it.
- 7:04Became the second junior in my high school squad four five, and that
- 7:11was that was big. That completely changed my status. Walking down the hall
- 7:15overnight, it was like I'm still just as there. I was just the
- 7:19same, It's just now everybody viewed me differently because all of what nobody could
- 7:25see what I was doing finally came to the forefront. I was like,
- 7:28WHOA, I can get used to this. It's pretty neat. It's pretty
- 7:30neat when that change happens in high school too, they went from everybody picking
- 7:35on me to everybody like, we're not doing that, And it was like
- 7:40it was just like for me, it was like I had this feeling I
- 7:43had never experienced before, and all I wanted was more of that, and
- 7:47it was it was you know, I'm not drug user, but I can
- 7:50only imagine that there's there's there's nothing that feels as good as basically getting credit
- 7:58for something that you've worked so hard for. And the best part about it
- 8:01is is you just the more that you want to get call it high of
- 8:05your own feeling, the better your life gets. As to we all know,
- 8:09drugs make your life worse. So for those of you that are in
- 8:13pursuit of hi, the in pursuit of a high that your brain will give
- 8:16you from busting your ass because the drugs, the drugs that your brain gives
- 8:20you are far better than the one you can buy on the street or get
- 8:22from the doctor. And so so that basically that's the drive. That's where
- 8:30the drive came from. And and so I went to college with the idea
- 8:33that I knew that I wanted to be a big, strong dude and didn't
- 8:37have any clue what I wanted to do. Besides that, I just knew
- 8:41that that was my calling. I was like, I really didn't care about
- 8:43anything else. I was still eighteen nineteen, so the reality of having to
- 8:48make money really hadn't said in yet. Well I go. I check into
- 8:52college about one eighty, I come out about two sixty five. It was
- 8:58five years. So I was relentless. Though keep in mind my day was
- 9:03designed around my training. I didn't drink. I mean, most college kids
- 9:07spend most of their lives drunk. That was not me. I was focused
- 9:13from the jump. And so basically I graduated college. I have no intention
- 9:18of getting a job. I never did. I was like, it's not
- 9:20what I want. I don't want to get in a car and go sit
- 9:22in traffic and go to some job I don't want to do. I was
- 9:26I was living my passion. I didn't want to give that away. And
- 9:30so I graduated college and I thought, well, I guess I need to
- 9:33try to start a business because it'll give me the time I need to continue
- 9:37to do what I want to do and pursue my dreams. And I knew
- 9:39I want at that point. I knew I thought I wanted to be a
- 9:41pro bodybuilder at that point because that was what was just the magazines. It
- 9:45was easiest to see what was going on, you know, a strong man
- 9:48wasn't as visible. There was no magazine. You could catch it weird times
- 9:52on the end. Plus, as a as a youngster, my mom I
- 9:54didn't have TV because she knew it would make my problems worse. So I
- 9:58never I didn't really start watching TV until Jesus later in high school and you
- 10:03just had a bedtime and the World's Strongest Man was always on these wee hours
- 10:07in the morning. So I never even saw the TV show till I was
- 10:09probably I never saw the TV show till I was probably twenty two years old.
- 10:15Wow. Anyway, so I got basically started a few businesses and they
- 10:20failed. But even my failure was something I had learned to pursue. I've
- 10:24been told I couldn't my whole life, So there's no difference when adults started
- 10:28telling me, I've been my kids have been telling me that my whole life.
- 10:30And of course it was rough failing, but you just realized I got
- 10:33to get up and do it again. And so my first business I came
- 10:37back to. Funny enough, one of the first ones was actually a food
- 10:39prep business, way ahead of his time, way ahead of its time.
- 10:43I was bundling up in the little things the whole deal, was making them
- 10:48myself. I didn't care what I had to do. I just didn't want
- 10:50to go get a job. It was actually successful, it did really well,
- 10:54but the logistics killed me driving around dropping these things off the gyms.
- 10:58I was selling it, and the problems they were spoiling too quick. So
- 11:03I was like, that's what killed me, you know, is it was
- 11:05all fresh, real food anyway, So that failed, and I was like,
- 11:09well, I guess I better go. I'm at this point I don't
- 11:13have any money. Just to demonstrate how much money I didn't have, you
- 11:18know, I was living with friends and I had no money to eat,
- 11:20so I would go into literally Safeway was the grocery store that was prevalent in
- 11:26where I lived, and I would walk around and I would eat, and
- 11:30then I would leave the store. I didn't have I didn't carry anything out
- 11:31of my pockets. I would just eat it. I would just the only
- 11:35thing I was carrying out of there was in my stomach. And so I
- 11:37did that for you know, I'm trying to do it everything. It was
- 11:41always looking for ways to find food, but that if I had sixty cents
- 11:45in my pocket, was walking across the way to eat it safely because there
- 11:48was one right across from where I was staying anyway, So that kind of
- 11:52demonstrates where I was. And I was like, well, I guess I
- 11:54better start a business with something I have a little little bit more experience with.
- 11:58So that was paint. I painted in college, and basically it was
- 12:03just me walking up to houses that need a paint job. Hey, the
- 12:07door to door, I'll paint your house for fifte hundred bucks and you could
- 12:09do it in a week. So for a college kid a couple hundred bucks
- 12:13in paint and make the twelve hundred bucks in a week, get a buddy
- 12:16of mine to help me do it. I was like, OK, it
- 12:18was great in college. Well now let's turn this into a business. So
- 12:22I started knocking on even more doors as a business. First year completely illegal,
- 12:28I didn't even it was. I had literally nothing. I borrowed some
- 12:33money from my mom and I had this little Beater truck and that was the
- 12:35business right there and anyway, so I knew what I could do. I
- 12:39knew that I could get a couple of houses on my belt. I at
- 12:41number one, I could start eating, or two I could get a place
- 12:45to live, and basically come that up. Five years later, year two,
- 12:48I was completely legit. And five years at the five year mark,
- 12:52end of five years, twenty employees, and I was told the son of
- 12:56a bitch for half of the bucks. Yeah, that was my first real
- 13:03win, and like the universe was lining up for me because my training is
- 13:07I'm just a beast at this point, I'm still don't have the confidence of
- 13:11my physical ability because I carried that forward. And one of my buddies said
- 13:15to me, was one of my early training in the GM and no one
- 13:18could touch you. He said, listen, I know you're afraid to go
- 13:22compete, because I'm very honest with him, and he's like, if you
- 13:24won't do it for you do it for me. He goes, I'm not
- 13:26strong enough. And I worked and he worked hard and worked hard together.
- 13:31He's like, we worked hard together, and I was like, God,
- 13:33damn it a bit, She's right. So I signed up for my first
- 13:37drama contest and so I traveled to New Mexico. Boom won that contest and
- 13:43then uh one in between and won my pro card my third drama contest,
- 13:48which was the Azelia Fest. Then that's where I came to Las Vegas Nick
- 13:52to do my first, my fourth ever contest in Las Vegas, Mark Phillipy's
- 13:58show there, and that got me into story Man and I was scared to
- 14:05death man, scared of death, but thank god they started off the contest
- 14:09one of my strengths. So it was a cleaning press for reps overhead and
- 14:11I won the event as a as a rookie in the and I was like,
- 14:16Okay, that gave me the confidence I needed to boost off and place
- 14:20in wellnoughs, qualify for nationals, and the rest is history. And so
- 14:24basically that work ethic, I mean that drive. You spoke about just everything
- 14:28and from there went from brom in to wrestling, wrestled Japan, little Mexico,
- 14:33two, a little in the US by primarily Japan. Then, you
- 14:39know, in forty two, I was like, well, ship, what
- 14:41am I going to do? Now? Still got that thing in me though,
- 14:43you know. So I came home I said, well ship, man,
- 14:46I'm goause theody a bodybuilding to try. People. Are you forty two?
- 14:48What are you out of your mind? I said? Listen, I
- 14:50said, I've been told that stuff in my whole life. You know you're
- 14:52right, but I'm gonna give it a crack. Well in my first client.
- 14:56Keep in mind, at that point I'm showing up in into bodybuild.
- 15:01I'm already I'm a three hundred pound dude. You know, It's like all
- 15:03the building is over. I just need to pick up some weak spots and
- 15:05learn learn the craft of getting really lean for the stage, and so win
- 15:11my first contest, qualify for nationals, go to the second one. Win
- 15:15that one boom, I'm pro and two contests which put me in a really
- 15:18small school of people who had ever won their pro their pro card and two
- 15:22contests. I believe I'm one of five. And my third ever bodybuilding contest
- 15:28was my pro debut, you know, and of course it was a little
- 15:33rattling, but you know, she's been kind of doing this ship my whole
- 15:35life in terms of you know, jin I mean, my my fourth ever
- 15:41strong man contests as that's in Vegas and I'm competing against guys that I've been
- 15:46watching on television, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 15:52I mean, and then and then the same thing with with wrestling.
- 15:56I didn't you know, I had about wrestling. I just basically, you
- 15:58know, and I got my first contract in Japan, like my second match,
- 16:03and which was really because the way I look, you know, you
- 16:07know, a little forthcoming with what I said, my experience was. Then
- 16:11I got in there and I got butts out of the seats, you know,
- 16:14ed up what I did, but I did so I got you know,
- 16:17off, So you know, it was singing with bodybuilding, yeah,
- 16:19a little daunting, but I've been you know, I was used to being
- 16:22the new guy with no experience, and so I just did off I went.
- 16:26And then so this whole story leads up to your question about my current
- 16:30coaching business. Brother. So, and we're getting and we're getting close,
- 16:34baby, we're getting close. So anyway, so what are your pro bodybuilders?
- 16:41So what do you do you open a gym. That's what pro bodybuilders
- 16:42do. And I was like, you know, that was a dream.
- 16:45I always wanted to have a gym, you know, from this PLU guy.
- 16:48So opened my gym. It did really well and it was so perfect.
- 16:51It was like two mile house. It was. It was kind of
- 16:53for everything that it was. It was a gym, but we had you
- 16:57know, we powerlifters. You came there next you saw it was a little
- 17:03place, but people came there and the membership was spending because they were coming
- 17:07to specialize, which was perfect because I had all this experience and it was
- 17:11like, you know, it was it was just kind of a I had
- 17:15bodybuilders, you know, strong men and women, powerlifting people. There even
- 17:18had an Olympic team. We had an Olympic coach. He was at my
- 17:21Olympic coach because that's some really technical ship. But anyway, so it's going
- 17:26well and next thing, you know, Pizard to call the gym said hey,
- 17:29can you coach me? And I'm like, yeah, where do you
- 17:32live. I'm thinking they live across the Bay or something, you know,
- 17:33because coming from the East Bay to my place, they're like, uh,
- 17:37Missouri, Arkansas, you know, oh, okay doing this over the phone,
- 17:42They're like yeah, I said, okay. Well, quickly I realized
- 17:47that coaching from a more grand scale gave me the ability to get the people
- 17:52I wanted to work with. Also, it didn't limit me to a to
- 17:56a jig. As a gym, you're only going to get so far away.
- 18:00People aren't going to travel three hours to you. I mean they do
- 18:02it for like attrition here and there, but no with no regularity. And
- 18:07so I quickly realized, holy shit. I was like this, this is
- 18:08there's something going on here. Because I started, I just ran it through
- 18:11my gym. At first, I'm looking at the reports in the month,
- 18:14going God, damn, this is all from people that aren't even here.
- 18:18There's no overhead. And so I told my wife, I said, look,
- 18:22I said, you you take the reins on the gym. I'm just
- 18:26gonna tuck my ass in the office and see what I could do with with
- 18:29this, you know business. And but I say, I lean on it.
- 18:33You know. You know what I mean when I lean and I attacked
- 18:34it, you know, yeah, I mean basically evolved into a seven figure
- 18:38business really quickly. And I was like, whoa, And they keep in
- 18:41mind. It's you got to understand that a business like that does that not
- 18:47because you just try to sell a bunch of shit. You do it because
- 18:49changing people's lives. And I loved it because I was changing so many more
- 18:56people's lives. And you know, I mean I was from wives of the
- 19:00people that came into the program. I thank you so much. He's got
- 19:03more energy, he does his honeydew list, we have a great sex life
- 19:06again. So we're like, I'm bringing back quality of life to people that
- 19:10you know that they were over the hill. And it was like it was
- 19:14like, holy smokes. That's why. You know, when your people say
- 19:17the more value you bring to the world, the more money you're going to
- 19:19make, that statement is so true. You know, you tell a turd
- 19:22and expect you're going to get rich, But you might fool people at first.
- 19:26As soon as they figure out you sold them a turd, they're not
- 19:29coming back, you know. So basically, you know, when it comes
- 19:33to entrepreneurship, it's just you know, and of course that's that's my coaching
- 19:37business. There's offsprings and I've had plenty of the stuff that we're not talking
- 19:41about. But really, when it comes down to it. My creative side,
- 19:44it's that I love to create something I love to, you know,
- 19:48especially, and the theme is it's got to help people, you know.
- 19:52Clothing line. My clothing line is about, you know, basically saying no
- 19:56mental weakness. I'm not going to use the word. I'm not cuss on
- 20:00your show, you know, but it's like saying, you know, ask
- 20:03weakness excuses and it's just like that, the little things that can play in
- 20:07your head to help you get out of your chair. Yeah, I've got
- 20:14created an offspring of the coaching business and it's all about basically and you know,
- 20:18everything that we're dealing, which I'm really excited about because if you strip
- 20:22all of it away, the thing that's you know, their step in helping
- 20:26someone is all right here. Yes. So the fact that we're on our
- 20:33new adventure together, brother, we're attacking this whole thing that that really needs
- 20:37to be the first step. The hardest part is that most people don't realize
- 20:41that's got to be the first step, you know. And I mean,
- 20:45let long winded story would be a perfect example, and I'm not I developed
- 20:48that first step out of necessity just to survive, and because that became well
- 20:53I am. It's just like I'm gonna put it over here. I'm gonna
- 20:57put it over here. You know, they take that same stuff you put
- 21:00it in parenting, you put it into you know, your friends and family
- 21:04and your wife, and it just becomes you know, it's life is good.
- 21:08What else can I say? That's it, you know, long winded
- 21:12answer to a short question, but there you go. Baby. Oh yeah,
- 21:18because, like I said, the set in the example that you put
- 21:19off. Like I said, I've been working with John for man, it's
- 21:23got to be three years now, maybe a little longer, and just everything
- 21:30that I've learned from you, from being and your presence of how we communicate,
- 21:33how we talk, how we plan things, or how things are set
- 21:37up. It's like because like like I said, it's like, uh,
- 21:40a lot of us don't know what to do or how to do it,
- 21:42or how to speak, how to plan, or even how to project what
- 21:47you want. Like how you always talk about in the mindset like I knew
- 21:49do this, I want to do this, but we always have that mental
- 21:52block and a lot of those blocks have been smashed because just from the way
- 21:56we always handle things and the way things that are always taken care of.
- 22:00Like I said, it's you know, you put me on a new mental
- 22:03level of how I look at my life and how I want to do things
- 22:06as I've always had that same thing, where like I world is against me,
- 22:10it's stopping me, it's not letting me do anything. And I stop
- 22:14thinking like that, and I stopped trying to have that there, and it's
- 22:18like, no, this what I'm going to do. This is how I
- 22:19do it. I get up every single day, I write my ideas,
- 22:22I write my plans, I write my feelings, and I write exactly what
- 22:25I want to do out every single day because that's the only way shit gets
- 22:30done. Yeah, it's it's like program Our minds are like computers. It's
- 22:34like pre computers. I mean, that's what I did with my own journey
- 22:40and I and and I just kind of stealed it down to the simple formula
- 22:44that translates really well, and then you got to make it where people can
- 22:47remember. So the formula. If you guys ever join us on our on
- 22:52Nick and our show, Nick and My Show, where we're talking about strategies
- 22:55for for you know, message three ageless mindset, Yes's mindset. It's exactly
- 23:02it's three two one. I mean it's three is three things you're going to
- 23:04be positive about for today. The two things the two p's is your purpose.
- 23:10What are you how do you tend to behave to get closer to that
- 23:14goal? And the number one is my favorite, is the purse. What
- 23:15are you going to remove? And so when you wake up every day and
- 23:19you do what Ben's talking about and you format it in a way because we're
- 23:22not talking about to do list, to do list is great. This is
- 23:26how you actually are going to behave. This is how you're going to react
- 23:30to the world. This is how this is like a dare of mindset.
- 23:33You know, you can start a crack through you can crack through a to
- 23:37do list, you know, at the rest of your life and make the
- 23:40same dumb mistakes you make every day and you won't make any progress. You
- 23:44know, Ben, I thank you for saying that, brother, because that's
- 23:47one thing, I mean is huge. So to hear you say all that
- 23:49stuff makes me really happy because you know, that's one thing that I'm really
- 23:52focused on now is I've been so focused on changing clients, which is great
- 23:57and I'm not going to stop doing that, but I'm definitely realizing that the
- 24:00next layer of this for me is to change the lives of the people on
- 24:03my team, and obviously been You're a piece of my team. So Nick,
- 24:07we're we're parted up in a business too, which is great, you
- 24:11know, and there's nothing better than I'm not sitting here. Yeah, I'm
- 24:17not saying I don't go to the World's Strongest Man. Ever. I don't
- 24:19go to IF's the world. I don't go to nationals. I don't go
- 24:23to the contest to become a strong man. It was the contest that I
- 24:26saw you competing in, Yeah, that the Philippine put on that I was
- 24:30just like, this is freaking cool. I'm watching you go. I know
- 24:34how strong are because I think we did a power to meet together. I
- 24:37want to say in Lovado, well we because we remember we crossed past very
- 24:41first in uh and uh yes, Santa Rosa in Santa Rosa. Yeah,
- 24:48yeah, yeah, that's way way back way back early nineties. Yeah,
- 24:55like yeah, I say, ninety two, ninety three at the latest.
- 24:59Yeah, yeah, you're the only dudes that had the ball because you're back
- 25:02in those days, you know, you eat powerlifting was not in the forefront
- 25:04and you were wearing a suit in the gym and people had no idea what
- 25:07to think of that. That's true. I did that, sure, I
- 25:11did. Now, that was exactly That's what made us is because we were
- 25:15focused. We knew what we're doing, we knew what we how we were
- 25:18going to behave, you know, and yeah, thank you guys for both
- 25:22sent It's really cool, man, really really cool, you know, in
- 25:25a in a joking I guess, factual joking, but kind of also heartbreaking
- 25:30at the same time. When you went to IFSA Worlds the first time because
- 25:36I busted out my knee and Derek messes back, so you came up two
- 25:40spots to go. But the beautiful part was I was like, he's got
- 25:42to go do well if he's you know, And that was the coolest thing.
- 25:47I was like, Dick, hell, gather for us, baby,
- 25:48you know, cry now I'm holding it together. No, the crazy thing
- 25:55was is we get to if the Worlds. In the first events, the
- 25:56farmers walk out up your alley, bitch what you needed, you know,
- 26:00I mean, so new to the sport. It was like, yeah,
- 26:02it was just like me having you know, for the overhead. It was
- 26:04like, Okay, I'm swings. I feel like I should be here,
- 26:08you know, for sometimes it does. And the first thing I do is
- 26:11break the whold. Yeah, yeah, who's that? You know? Yeah
- 26:18you were coming in. Man, you were a little undersized in the beginning,
- 26:21but you were so fast. You know when I so undersized. Funny
- 26:23enough, it's still like to eighty five. But you know, Abby,
- 26:26eighty five, we all know that you got to get a little bigger than
- 26:30to eighty five. So I'm talking strong man terms, you know, better
- 26:33size. When I came in too, I came in about your same size,
- 26:34and they're like, you need to put on about fifteen pounds on my
- 26:37coaches. Try to do this my whole life, you know. But it's
- 26:41awesome how all of our pasts intertwine and we're in and out of each other's
- 26:47lives so much. And it's just amazing now at this stage of our lives
- 26:51that we get to do things together and we get to influence other people in
- 26:53a positive manner and make their lives better. And that's what makes things so
- 26:59fulfilling for me anyway. I like making people's lives better. I like giving
- 27:03them motivation. I just just a number, and so many people want to
- 27:07pack it in and it's like, no, why, yeah, you're thirty,
- 27:11you're not done. You know what about the Brothers. We are having
- 27:15so much fun with our new project on a lead age's mindset because we're i
- 27:19mean basically showing what we're kind of like a curtain like listen, I just
- 27:25want to know what goes on to get there. This is the stuff that
- 27:29you can't see. This is like, this is behind the training. It's
- 27:33like, you know, my favorite TV shows was behind the Music where they
- 27:36talked, where they talked about the people that the musicians' lives and how they
- 27:40live day to day. This is like behind the strength, behind the training,
- 27:45behind the eating. It's all the little things that go into making all
- 27:48those things that that most people want to do possible, you know. And
- 27:53it's just it's neat because it's extremely informative as well. Yeah, and it's
- 27:57a man, you know. It's just people don't understand just how far the
- 28:03basic philosophies if you follow them and you do them, and you execute them,
- 28:08and you stay on top of it, and you honor commitments that you've
- 28:12made to yourself and you've honored and you take care of all these things.
- 28:17How it really just is if you do these processes, it all falls into
- 28:21place. Yes, yeah, the press. The fourth P is progress,
- 28:25and that if you get all three p's, you're always going to have the
- 28:27fourth P. It's that simple, you were always going to have progress,
- 28:33and slow, methodical process progress over years time will put you so far ahead
- 28:37of anywhere you could have ever gone before. You just don't understand. And
- 28:41it's that type of mentality that God is here that we're trying to teach.
- 28:47Yes, you know, I try. I try to make it really simple
- 28:51in terms of someone because what you just said it makes perfect sense. But
- 28:53let's put it in like a singular one task that most people do every day.
- 28:59They're going to brush your They don't have to think about it, they
- 29:02just do it. Well, that's one of a series of habits that you
- 29:06put into place that you just start to do. And what Nick just said
- 29:10comes it comes true because you've created a series of behavior patterns in your life,
- 29:15your daily life, and you make progress every day. And like I
- 29:19said, our show and our three piece is all about helping you program that
- 29:22mind and implement the things you need to do to give what you want and
- 29:26some people might look at it going, hey, I want to get big
- 29:27and strong. Some people might look out of God, I want to get
- 29:30big, strong and do's better with my relationships, with my business. It
- 29:33applies everywhere, you know, every bit of your life, which is so
- 29:37amazing. Yeah, and the fact that it helps everyone that encounters it is
- 29:45just brilliant and I love that. So thank you absolutely absolutely well, John,
