336. Three Lessons For Pursuing Your Purpose - 5 Years Of The Impossible Life · The Impossible Life

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: There's this thread I've been pulling on my entire life,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that I believe that there's something that's not necessarily been missed,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: but that there is a path that is a true
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: greatness path of, I'm going to live everything that God's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: called me to live. I'm going to truly stand on
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: his principles, all of his secrets, all of his victories.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: There's a path there for us. You do not have
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to live the way that the world tells you to live.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You don't have to live under the power of sin.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: That's exactly why Christ died on the cross. So when
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you put all of these things together and understand that
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: God has a plan for you, there is.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: A way where you can be inevitable. That's impossible. Let
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: me tell you what I believe. Your weakness is not
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: your technique. Don't think you are. Know you are. The
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Impossible Life Podcast. You're sitting on a winning lottery ticket.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: An idea that is fully formed, fully understood.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: That sticks. This is the impossible life podcast because Nick
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and I are attempting to live impossible lives. What we
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: know is that nothing is impossible. So instead of using
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: impossible as an excuse to not try, we'll use the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: pursuit of impossible as an accelerant for greatness. If something's
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: never been done before, that just means it's unexplored.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: If they tell you it's too hard, it's just.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Waiting to be simplified. Impossible is a default label used
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: by uncourageous people, unwilling to take a risk.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: The real truth is this.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: The solution to any impossible task starts with this question.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: If I had to, what would it take? Welcome to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: another episode of the Impossible Life Podcast. I'm your co-host,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Nick Surface, and I'm looking across at the most well-rounded
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: man in the world. That's right, friends, the former Navy SEAL,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Garrett Unklebach, a man who's had more introductions than the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: President of the United States. I was just sitting here thinking, gee,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: here we are.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, but it is a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: lot of introductions.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: A lot of introductions. I'm the one who's done them all,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: so there we go.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It's funny when people who are new... So you did
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it on the very first episode, right?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I did not. No, I think it was like episode
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: 10 or 11. We asked listeners this one time, and they.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Came back and told us. So you've got 320-something intros.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: For sure. Yeah, it's one of the funny things. People
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: who are new, like, have you done this the whole time?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Go listen to all of them.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Why are we talking about that, G? Because this is
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: five years for us. Five years.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So Nick sent this morning. Nick's at my house very
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: early on a Friday morning. But before Nick came over,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: he sent me the YouTube video of of episode one.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And I don't think Nick noticed because this is not
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: his greatest strong suit, but I'm wearing the exact same
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: clothes that I wore in episode one.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think Garrett noticed that I also on purpose
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: wore the exact same shirt that I was wearing in
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: episode one. Touche, Mr. Jokey Jokemaker.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's not the same though. I'm wearing the exact same
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: pants and the exact same shirt.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Well, all I've learned is that you don't update your
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: wardrobe very often. I did not pay attention to your pants,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: but yeah, good call. I, uh, I'm glad we were
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: both in the same mindset. Here we are, black shirts,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: five years later. So today's episode, man, is going to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: be just, we want this to encourage you. The whole
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: point of today's episode is just, we know that wherever
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you're at, that God's got a plan and purpose for
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: your life and that you pursuing the God-given dreams that
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: he's given you is key to fulfilling those. And so
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: we want this to be like rocket fuel for you
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: because we're looking back at five years, not by any
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: means taking a pat on the back, but we're looking
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: at the lessons that we've learned Because it was so
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: interesting to me. I wanted to get in the right
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: mindset because we had decided, okay, it's five years. Let's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: look back a little bit because this is a little
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: bit of a moment for us, but also there's a
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: lot of valuable lessons learned. And so I went back
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and listened to episode one while I drove over and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I did it this morning because I wanted to be
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in the right mindset. And one of the things we
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: said in that episode is that if we can cause
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: even one person to hear something on what we do
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: with our podcast and it brings a shift forward in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: their life, then we'd be happy. That's what we said
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that we were there to do is that we wanted
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: people to just understand and run hard and be hungry.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: And we said that in episode one. And did we
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: say shift? We did say shift.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Because what's funny is, I'm just going to reuse that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: exact word, because... You know, what was it, two years later?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Two years later, we wrote down vision, mission. The way
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: we talk about here on the podcast, we wrote the vision.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It was about a year and a half. It was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: almost two years. Yeah, almost two years. So vision, mission, values,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the way we talk about it here on the podcast
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and teach it and did that in the PAPA later,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that here in a second.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I see where you're going.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: But the vision of the impossible life is to shift
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the mindset of what it means to be a godly man. Yeah,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And so that's what we're about. That's what we'll always
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: be chasing. But what's so cool is if you would
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: have said, what's the vision of this podcast? I'm like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: we didn't have it clearly defined, but there was already
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the seeds in it. And that's what I think is
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: so cool is God's always working, and he's already planted
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the seeds and put things in place. And then when
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: they pop up out of the ground, we're like, oh, wow,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: look at that. And he's like, yeah, I've had that there.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I know, dummy.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Well, he's not you. He doesn't say dummy. He's a
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: lot kinder.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It's the subtext, you know, like when.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe in your mind.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Like when God tells, you know, Moses, I'm going to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: use you to lead my people out of Israel. Like
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: God just shows them like, hey, man, here's the plan. Yeah.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, I mean, you're reading your own lens into
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that quite a bit there, but praise the Lord. So
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: as we're going here, you say this, if you listen
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to the intro of our podcast, the key part, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I've had people quote this back to me and I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: love that, is if I had to, what would it take?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: What would it take?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And so you have a, there's something in you. There's
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: some God-given dream in you. What do you actually think
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: it's going to take to get there? Because we're going
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to give some lessons. I will just say that we
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: are not always great at estimating. And I'm saying that
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: very lightly. We're terrible at estimating. But if you had to,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: what would it take? because God has put you on
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: here for a reason. And there's something in you. You
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: may not have it as clear as you think it is.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: You may not know all the steps. You definitely don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: know all the steps. You probably don't even have full
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: clarity on what it is, but there's just something in
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you that you want more. That was our first episode
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: is there's more life. Well, good. So give you a
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: little bit of timeline.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The right follow-up question to when Jesus said, follow me,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the disciples didn't say, well, how long is it going
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to take? Yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Well, how far are we going? Right.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: They just said, okay, we'll follow you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Well, other people did ask him those questions.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And it was like, all right, you're not ready.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But hold on a second. I got to go do
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: this thing really quick.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, G, I want to give people some, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I remember when Cody Bobay was on here and he
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: talked about when he first released SoulCon, he said he
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: sold 16 copies the first day that he released it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Winning. Yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And now it's like one of the best selling Christian
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: men's books of all time. So our episode one was
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: released on September 2nd, 2021. And like I said, I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: want to be very clear. The sole purpose of this
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: episode is to encourage you to pursue as you're pursuing
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the God-given dream in your heart. Like that's really all
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: we want for this episode. So we're going to give
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: you a little bit of perspective about where we're at
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and where we've been. So episode one, we released it
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: September 2nd, 2021. We were full of fury. Still at
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: your house, still wearing the same shirts. And we had,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: how many plays do we get on day one on Spotify, G?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: We got the donut. Winning. We got zero plays. Winning. Okay.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So zero plays on Spotify.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Just understand. Maybe you've got a dream. Yes. Maybe there's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: something that you want to do with your life. Maybe
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: there's this idea that you have. People do this all
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the time. You put in all the, Hey man, we're
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: going to start a podcast. We're going to start this business.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going to write a book.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: It's whatever it is.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You think about all these things and you put in
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: all this effort just to get to day one. And
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: then Because there's all the work that happens before day one.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Then day one happens and nobody cares.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Right. And this was me. So I had bought gear.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I had planned. That gear failed me famously on episode two,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: which shout out to the listener that reached out and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: told me that I could AI correct that now. And
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, you know, I'm going to leave it
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: in there because I think it's part of our history.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: But so zero plays. Now by 30 days, G, this
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: is where we really hit it big. We had 60
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: plays on Spotify. And what I want to say to
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: people out there, the average podcast, this is according to Buzzsprout,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: which is a podcast hosting platform we used. The average
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: podcast gets 27 downloads of an episode in the first
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: 30 days. That's average. So like we, little do we know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and I can assure you, we didn't feel it. we
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: were double average by the first month, and it felt terrible.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Because we recorded multiple episodes, we released them, we're doing
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the work. But don't worry, because we did that work
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: consistently for a year, and you know what that led to?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: 493 plays total of the first episode.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: At the end of year one, we were at 493. Yeah. Wow.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And so I really want to put that in perspective.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And I just, this is not patting myself on the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: back here, I just say this also to say, not
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: everyone who starts a podcast... has the platform of being
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a Navy SEAL.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Right. Right.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But regardless of what you think that, that is, that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: is known recognition, credibility that should make people like want
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to listen to a podcast.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Right. And we put in all this effort.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: You see where we are today and it's, and we're,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: some of what we're talking about today is where we
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: are today is we were, we're doing the same thing
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: running after the same race. We didn't like, there's lessons learned,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: but we're on the same principles, the same beliefs, same
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: mindset as we had in the beginning. And after one year,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: 493 plays on.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: The first episode. Yeah, it's insane. And I'll just say,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: we're not speaking from a place that we feel we've
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: made it. I want to make sure that we're really
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: clear on that because we are not even close to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: being satisfied, feel like we've run our race. Like I
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: was driving the other day, G, and I really felt
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit prompt me and just say, you're early
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: in your training. And when I heard that, it got
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: me excited. It genuinely got me really excited. I was like,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: thank you, Lord. Because I don't think of myself as
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: having made it or attained anything. I'm like, dude, we're
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: nowhere near where we should be. And this is a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: dangerous thought process, but where we should be. That's the
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: way we felt on day one. It's the day we
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: feel on day five year, whatever that would be in math.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you could quickly work out and include leap
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: years and tell me the exact date.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And so we're going to get to some lessons learned
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: here in a second, but just hang tight with us
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: while we finish telling this story of progress. Okay, so
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: day one, zero plays. Day 30, 60. End of the year, 493.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And that's 48 episodes later. We'd had a Super Bowl champion,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Steve Weatherford, on. So we'd actually put some effort in.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: We had... Jason Poston was our first ever guest. He's
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: got a million followers on Instagram. He's an IBBF bodybuilding champion.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So like we did some things that you'd be like, oh,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: this should boost us. And with all that, and we
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: were consistent because the average podcast only puts out six episodes.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: We were consistent and we, for a year, and it
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: got us to 493 plays of that one episode. Hallelujah.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: We did an ice bath on January 29th of 2022,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: which was like four months or yeah, four months plus
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: after we'd started the podcast and And we had a
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: grand total of our first Ice Path G, we had
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: 12 people. And one of those was research assistant Zach,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: who was like your paid assistant. So really we had
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: 11 people that showed up to that first one. So
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: we're really killing it. And I'll say this because I've
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: mentioned it on other podcasts, but I remember I looked
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: at you and I said, should we just cancel it?
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Because to me, I was like, this isn't even worth it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: And you looked at me and you said, faithful over little,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: ruler over much. And you said, we're going to do
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: this to level 10. We lost money on that. We
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: paid for shirts out of our own pocket. We paid
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: for really nice card stock out of our own pocket.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: We did the exact same thing we do now at
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: ice baths back then. And it was just, it cost us,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: it cost us to do it because we couldn't even
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: cover the cost of the event. And I laugh at that,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: but that faithful over little rule over much lesson, we're
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: not getting into lessons yet, but man, if I could
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: say there's been one thing I've learned from the podcast,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that is 100% it. is the faithfulness thought process of
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to do what's right today. I say
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: that to my business partner, my production company all the time.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I go faithful over little, rule over much. Because every
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: single thing we do is not about that thing. It's
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a door to unlock the next if you view it
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: that way.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: And if you half-step it, guess what? That door stays locked.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: And if you're excellent, man, it's amazing how the doors
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: can open. So to just stick with the ice bath,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: it was 2023, we had 70 people, which is a
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: huge growth. That's like 5X. 2024, we doubled again, 133. 2025,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: we only went to 150. So we're currently but still,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: this is we also shifted it from a random day
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: in January to the first of the year at 6am.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: So you ask how many people want to wake up
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to get in cold water at 6am on the first
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of the year, only those who are about it. Only
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: those who are about it. But I give those numbers
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: because it's like, man, it's really growth. And those are
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: some of my favorite things that we do because I
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: always just leave going like, man, look at all. It's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: just such a.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: It's just a magnified version of every time you ice
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: bath on your own. Man, I don't really want to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: do this.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: And then after you do it, man, I'm so glad.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I did that. Yeah, but when you do... That's the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: easiest ice bath you'll ever take with 100 plus people. Oh,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: it is the easiest one for sure. I never... I'm
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: always like, no matter how bad it gets, in the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: one year it was so bad my feet were numb.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And that's my favorite year, by the way. but like
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it was, it was great because we all suffer together
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and you have a great saying about that from the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: SEAL team is about eating a turd sandwich to put
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: it nicely.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Best, best part about a team is you don't have
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to eat a crap sandwich by yourself.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: There you go. Edited for Christianity right there because they
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: do not say crap. Anyways, so looking at the timeline,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: so Mindset Mastery, we then launch in July of 2023.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Like we've been going for a year and almost two years.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: And for those who don't, Mindset Mastery, it's a parallel
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: program that we run, you know, alongside The Impossible Life. Some,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you know, You may have heard some of our ads
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: on it before, or maybe you have no idea what
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: we're talking about. It's something we reference all the time.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: 12 topics out of the podcast that it's like, these
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: are the core things we teach on. And if you want,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you know, the podcast is free. Mindset Mastery is not.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And the podcast is... you know, a lot more, we
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: share a lot more personal references and anecdote. Like if
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you want the college class of the things that we
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: teach here on the podcast.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: It's Mindset Mastery.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, Mindset Mastery is where we give you the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: 12 tools that ultimately we use all the time. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: basically asked the question of Garrett, if I had to
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: download your brain into somebody else's, what would you do?
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: And he sat there and thought, well, we locked ourselves
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: in an Airbnb for about 48 hours, literally didn't go anywhere.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And we came up, mostly you, with these 12 topics.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And that was, and they're the things we talk about
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: all the time, but this is where we actually go like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: let me go deep and show you this tool, how
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to use it, what it can do. And like, that's
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: what mindset mastery is. So we launched that on July
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: of 2023. And because we're the impossible life, we said, Hey,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: let's make it hard. Let's make the call at 5.00 AM,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: which was hard for us. I remember I'd get to
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: your house at like, I'd wake up at four to
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: get to your house at four 30. Cause we'd set
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: everything up and you're just trying to wake up. And
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Oh my gosh, we're going to about to
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: deliver a live teaching at 5.00 AM. So we had
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: 133 people sign up to be with us since day zero.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And 78 people turned up at 5 a.m. I remember
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Pierce was like, I can't believe you got that many
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: people to show up at that time in the morning.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And we were just like bleary-eyed and just going for it. And, man,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't even have a beard back then.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: You look like way more of a man now.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: And then in January of 2024, I've gotten very good
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: at ignoring you. Uh, in January of 2024, we lost,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: we launched our purpose driven profit accelerator. Like in 2024,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: we pushed a lot towards the podcast. I'm just, why
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: am I telling you all this? I'm giving you this
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: because I just want you to see the lesson of
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: progression and how things have changed and just give you
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit of an idea of what it's been
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: like to, and the things we've done, the things that, uh,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: God's developed. And the thing that I think one of
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the key lessons in this is that, you know, I
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: think sometimes people look at us and they think we've
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: just gotten everything right and everything worked out the way
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: we thought it would be. And I would say that nothing, literally,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's one thing you've, you've shared this before.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: We've never hit a target. We set ever, ever. Well,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: we didn't hit the bullseye of the target. Right. But
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like, and when I say
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a target, it's like, Hey, we wanted to launch with
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: this and we always fall short or man, we really
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: thought we could get this many people. And we didn't
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: quite set ambitious goals. That's exactly right. We set ambitious goals,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: but we've fallen short. But the point is, is that
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: you keep going, you keep growing. So our Purpose Driven
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Profit Accelerator, we ended up working with 11 different businesses.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: We launched that in January of 2024. This is where
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: we gave them, so interesting, that we gave these people
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: the five forces, which we have a podcast on this
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: that you can go listen to for free, the five
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: forces that shape culture and its vision, mission, values, principles,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and ethos. And we work with these companies. You worked
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: with them on that side, and I worked with them
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: on the marketing side. And we basically invested into these companies.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Some of these people are still very close friends of ours.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: And I will say that it's so awesome to see
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: how much those companies have grown.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: A couple of these people have doubled and tripled their business.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: All the people that we are still very close to have.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: So it was, and this is the same five forces
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that you're using now to build a multi-billion dollar company.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And so that's a little gem. I'm going to go
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: ahead and say you. Well, give, I mean, Mindset Mastery, amazing.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: PDPA, amazing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And these are just, again, these are little snapshots and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: little nuggets of where we were along the way from
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: where we started. But give us the, you know, give
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: us the real numbers from, you know, day one to
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: where we are today.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Right. And then we launched Legacy Navigators in June of 2024,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: which I don't know if we'll be able to do
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: that again just because of.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: A day will come again, but it's not next year.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: We took a bunch of people out to where they
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: do the third phase of BUDS, and you taught them
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: how to navigate. Oh, I love it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Fathers and sons. I really loved that. We will do
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: it again. I just don't know when.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: That was a dream trip for you. Okay, so to
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: say all that to say, so we've launched programs, we've
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: been at this, we've been putting it all in. By
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the way, this is what we do on the side.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Like you and I, we pay for our lives and
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: our families not with the podcast at all. Yeah, so anyways,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I look at that. So we go from 60 on
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Spotify in the first month for episode one to 493
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: plays total in the first year to, you know, if
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you look at our hockey stick, it's crazy. At this point,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: that episode now has 25,000 which is a lot more
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: than 493. Episode one. Just episode one on its own.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: And then I look at like overall, we're at 2.7
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: million across Apple and Spotify, which is.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so 2.7 million total plays across everything. But then
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you were also saying, right? So at the end of day...
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: From when we first started, at the end of day 30,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: we had 60 plays for.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Whatever podcast episode just launched 30 days ago, like for
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: right now, how many plays does that have?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Just on Spotify, you'll be looking.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, it depends.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: There's a range, but it'll be anywhere from like 4,000
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to 8,000. And so what used to take us years,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, in those things, we'll get them in
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the first hour. We will outperform what we did in
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: a year in the first hour now, which is crazy
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: to say. But at the same time, I didn't feel
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: satisfied with it then, I don't feel satisfied.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: With it now.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: No, we're not. And I don't know that we ever
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: will be. But like what's changed? Man, so much has changed.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: And at the same time, like you said, so much
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: has stayed consistent and stayed with us. I mean, I
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: look at what's changed. Our process is the exact same,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: but we're a lot faster at it. Like it would
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: take us four hours to prepare for a podcast. We're
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: better at it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And I would say it's like some of the stuff
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: that today, it's so what one of the ways the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: podcast has been very valuable to me And we're going
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: to get into really the key lessons learned from, you know,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: for all of this. We're going to share that here
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in just a second. But one of the really big
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: values that the podcast has been to me, it's like
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: so much of the stuff that we talk about today,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: this has been in me for a long time, but
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: it helped me articulate it. And once you articulate it,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: then you can build on it. And what used to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: be subconscious to me is very conscious and is now,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you know, and I've built on top of that. and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: now we've built all these programs and systems and the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: entire podcast is cumulative. That's why it is one of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the things I'm proud of about the podcast. Most other
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: podcasts that you listen to, and there's some other ones
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: that I listen to, it's like, oh, well, there's a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: great topic or there's a great guest. But of one
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: of the podcasts that I like to listen to, they
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: have almost 1,000 episodes. I've maybe listened to 20. Because
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: when something comes out that I really like, I'll listen
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to it. Versus with this podcast, because everything is cumulative
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and is built on top of it. Well, we have
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: so many people who come to this show and they
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: listen to 10 episodes. They're like, well, I got to
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: listen to all of it. And they go all the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: way back to the beginning to listen through. And that's
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: one of the things that I'm proud of. The point
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that I was making is what the podcast has allowed
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: us to do is We've grown so much. It's developed in,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it's developed in us. It's developed me. It's developed you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a ton. You, you know, Nick looks a lot different.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I would also say better than he did when he started.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I felt like this morning when I looked in the mirror,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I was like, I did my hair. Like, like I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: looked then like you look way different.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I probably look more different than you look different.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I look different, but you look more different. I do
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: look more different. I mean, there's a, I've had a
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: lot more muscle. I have a beard. and I'm more tanned.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So I will not have the exact same.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: For once, I'll just hold my comment and let you
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: have that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Okay. Let's just keep going. So what's not changed is
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: you giving me a large ration of grief.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: At any given point. Hazing is sometimes an effective method.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Sometimes. And it's all down to the person that's being
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: hazed to decide how they're going to take it. That's
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: exactly right. And I take it as fuel. So praise
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: the Lord. So, I mean, we've changed hosting platforms. Us ourselves,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: we've changed. Like, the level of biblical teaching. I remember, like,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: when we first started out, like, we really, you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: we wanted to help people grow, and it was definitely, like,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: elite mindset, like, based on the Bible. And I think
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: we've just, we know we're called to serve people who
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: follow after Christ, and, like, we want people to just
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: be more hungry.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I would say, for me personally, my faith has just gotten,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you know, five years ago, I was leading Mighty Men still. Right.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: But my faith has just gotten louder, and I would
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: say in the public arena. of, you know, I was
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: never holding back, but I would just say, you know,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I'm yelling louder at this point about it. Like, here's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: what I have seen.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: It's, it's your testimony.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It's, it's what God, when, when you've seen what God
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: has done and when I've lived a life based on
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: scripture and not just as a church person, but as a,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: as a, as a man and as a business person
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: lived a life based upon scripture, how can you not
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: share that with people?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This is truly what I believe. Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: This is, and I have great lessons that I learned
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: from the SEAL team's but I can connect all of
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: those things to scripture. Yeah. Yeah.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: So good. Well, let's get, we've got, we've got three
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: lessons that we want to give to you.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And this is, this is lessons when we thought about this,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: this is lessons that we learned specifically from the podcast
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and this journey, right? Cause anything you do in life
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that is worth doing, it's going to take more than
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you thought it was going to take. It's going to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: take longer than you thought it was going to take.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: And the podcast has been one of those, even though
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Nick and I don't feel like we've made it yet
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: with the podcast, There is great testimony of how much
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: this podcast has helped people. Our inbox is full of it.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: We know people personally, and Nick and I have grown
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: from it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: We've seen it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: We're not denying that there isn't great fruit there. But
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: when you've built something like this, and it's taken five
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: years to get to this point, what we did is
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: we looked back and we say, man, what did we learn?
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: What has worked?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Not just in our lives, but specifically, what has the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: podcast taught us? So that's what we're going to share today.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I want to give this for people before
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: we start because you talked about this. And because I
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: listened to it, it's so fresh in my mind. One
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of the things that I want people to understand is
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: you're going to have a lot of doubts. And you
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: said this earlier about how you were a Navy SEAL,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: so you at least had a title. And one of
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: the things I struggled with, and I've talked to other people,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: is one of the hardest things to do is to
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: market yourself. why should someone care what you have to say?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Or whatever you're doing, why you? And that is a
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: question that will eat at you. And a lot of
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: people will call it imposter syndrome. People will like have
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: identity crisis or whatever you want to say. And what
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you is when we first started out, I
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: went back and listened to it. And realistically, I remember
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: on the first episode, I pitched you because you were
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the only person that I thought was like the reason
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: why anybody should listen to the podcast. And I was right.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't have a lot to say that would have
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: been something that people should have listened to, but I
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: knew I was hungry, and I heard God say, and
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: this is the most important part of it, if God
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: tells you to go, don't stop and try and qualify yourself.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Just start.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: And what were some of the conversations we had back
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: then as you started to grow and really change and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: receive the fruit of it? We would talk about it,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and not that you were frustrated, you were just asking
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: me the question, why don't people see that yet? And
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: what I would tell you is just keep going.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: They will. Right. And that's exactly the conversations is, is,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you know, you're always going to see it first. And
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: so I just want to encourage you, if you're the
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: person that has tons of doubt, just, just take action.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: If you're the person that you're frustrated that other people
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: don't see it, keep going. But like, it is always,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I remember when I started my first business, I was
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: surprised at how much of a challenge it was to
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: my own sense of self. And I'll just tell you
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: that that's part of the journey. And that's one of
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: the greatest blessings I think is that we set out
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: with purpose and vision and And we're always thinking about
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: the work and not realizing just how much God's working
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: on us in it. And I think that's true of
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: all things is that God is always at work. He
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: never stops working. And oftentimes we don't become aware of
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the work until far after it's been going on. And
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: that's one of the great joys and one of the
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: confidences that you can take is that when you get moving,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: you'll begin to see it. But if you stand still,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: you won't. So I just wanted to say that because
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I know there's people out there that have dreams and
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I know that it'll be a struggle for them because
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: they'll have all the reasons why they can't succeed. And
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you know what? You said it on the first episode
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: that you were so grateful for me and I'm so
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: grateful for you because you were like, this doesn't happen
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: without me, with all the mics and everything. And I
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: look at it and I'm like, well, I could have
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: had mics and had nothing good to say to them
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: without you. But I look at that and that's a
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: picture of God's grace of giving you the right people.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: For the journey.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And by the way, That's called synergy.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Ooh, let's use a good 90s business term. Where one
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: plus one equals three. Yeah.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Where one guy shoots lasers out of his eyes and
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: the other guy's.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The sum of the whole is greater than the sum
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: of its parts. Right. You take us individually, but then
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: you put us together and we're worth more than what
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: we were individually just added up.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And we also happen to be a lot funnier because...
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Anyways.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: All right. So lessons from pursuing your God-given dream. Number one, G...
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Having the inevitable mentality.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Now, this isn't a lesson I have learned in other
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: places in life, but I've absolutely learned it here. It's like, okay,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: when you learn how to play a sport or you
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: learn how to be successful or you coach yourself, when
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: you do something one time, you're like, wow, that really works. But,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you know, these are, for example, like in business, you
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: know who you bet on? People who have a long-term
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: track record.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: It's like, for example, some people start businesses and they've
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: never done anything before, and I get that. But then
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: there's also people that's like, this guy has founded and
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: exited three businesses, and he's learned this and learned this
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and learned this, and he's starting again. Right.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: You know what that guy's probably going to do? He's
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: probably going to win. Yeah.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Right? But until you get to that place, when you've
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: done something one time, you're waiting to see, was I
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: right or was I lucky?
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Right. Very good.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Right. Um, cause you can, you can have an idea
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and get lucky with that idea and think you've got
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it all figured out.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: We'll prove it, do it again.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And this podcast has been a fantastic opportunity to take
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: what I know, what I believed in, what I had
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: seen and observed, what I believed was principle was this
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: mindset of, you know, in the inevitable mentality, we're not
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: going to do the episode that's preaching this. We've talked
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: about this before, but it's really just knowing God has
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: a plan. It's my infinite potential unlock is the inevitable mentality.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: God has a plan for my life and I can
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: have anything I want if I'm willing to pay the
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: price for it. And you have, you know, who you
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: have been as a friend and a partner is someone
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: who believed both of those things entirely with me and
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: believed that for the podcast. And we knew even when
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: you've put in the effort and you didn't get what
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: you wanted to get, you know, if I keep going
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and I love the way Hormozy says it, Success and
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: failure are the same highway. Success is just a later exit.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: We could have quit this podcast two years ago and
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: felt like it was, you know, a down note.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Like, well, you know, it was good. We tried.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: We helped some people, but it would never have been
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: what it was meant to be. Yeah. You must keep going. Yeah.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: And I just want to, because if you listen to
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: this podcast for any length of time, you'll hear Garrett
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: give the infinite potential unlock. And like most things, you
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: can become desensitized to it. The inevitable mentality where you're
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: just like, it's meant to be. Where you just look around,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: you're like, no, it's going to happen. It's like, you understand,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: like everything you see is confirmation bias for you when
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: you have that. It doesn't come.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Confirmation bias doesn't have to be a bad thing.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: It's the story that you tell yourself.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Right. And so when you're telling yourself a story of,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be great. Look at Tom Brady's life.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He believed, right?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I love the story of him going to Bill Belichick
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: and said, I'm the best decision this organization has ever made.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: When he was a nobody at that point and on
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: paper did not look valuable.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Right. Okay. He saw it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: He did not even have the facts yet. He just knew,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: he knew the truth of what was in him, but
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: did not have the facts yet. And he, and he just,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and he could call, he called a shot and he
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: lived up to it. He knew it was inevitable for
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: him to be great. He know he, cause he, the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: other thing that he said that I love is he says,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I knew as soon as they put me on the field,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: they never take me off.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: That's an inevitable mentality.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Right. Okay.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And it's not just because you're this person that has
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: a gilded life.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It comes from what do you really believe? And when
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you believe that God has a plan for you... Yes. Certainly,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: when you believe that God's hand is on you, you
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: know that you can still lose battles and that you're
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: going to win in the end.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: It's one.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: some of my favorite understanding about David is that David
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: is God's chosen king and David didn't win every battle.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: But he maintained that inevitable mentality. He knew what God said.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: He knew God had a plan for his life. Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: And I don't know how, for every person out there,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: you're going to get to that differently. I don't know
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady's mindset or what got him to the point
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: where he had that level of belief. But what I'll
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: say to you, when you know that God's hand is
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: on your life and that he's chosen you, you feel inevitable.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: It's not like for you, you grasp this at a
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: much earlier age. I think that there's a unique grace
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: that God's put on your life in a lot of
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: ways that you... It's.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: My spiritual gift is faith.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Right. And so you've had that at a young age.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: For me, if you know my story, when God broke
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: into my life and I was not seeking him at all,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: like literally broke into my life, I look at that
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know what, Lord, I wasn't seeking
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: you at all, but you've put your hand on me
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: for a reason. You went out of your way to
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: get my attention and you've completely transformed me. What starts
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: to happen is it's like, God doesn't do these things
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: for no reason. And so you, like I said, I
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: don't know how you're going to get there, but whatever
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: has to happen to get you to the point, the
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: power that comes from the shift of belief to expectation
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: cannot be overstated. Because at this point, I'm like, God
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: put his hand on my life for a reason. He
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: put us together for a reason. I look at all
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the other things in my life. I'm like, no, this
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: is all happening. And I'm just going like, I know
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: this is all happening for a reason. And I have
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: this just sense of where I'm going. And it's more
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: than something that's just come because I do a lot
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: of positive self-affirmations in the mirror or I read the
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: right self-belief books or manifest. It's because it's God. The
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: biggest differentiation, this whole inevitable mentality comes because what you said.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: That's why I said I don't want people to be
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: desensitized to it. When you actually grasp the way that
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: God has orchestrated your life and that he cares so
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: deeply for you, that he is truly sovereign, he knows
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: the number of hairs on your head, he loves you,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: and that he wants to work through you. Now that
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: insecurity that I talked about, that goes. And I don't
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: know what it's going to take to get you there.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: You had it from a young age. I didn't get
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: it until my late 30s. So I want that to
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: be an encouragement for people out there. I don't know
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: what it's going to take, but God is working to
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: get you to that place of belief, that gift of faith,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: like you said. That's the gift that we receive from him, right?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Faith is divine persuasion. It's not initiated from us. Like
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Paul says in Ephesians 2, 8 through 10, this is
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: not from yourself, right? It's the gift of God. And
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: so when you realize that and you finally grasp that,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: that is the rocket fuel that will give you the
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: inevitable mentality for whatever God's put you in. And it
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: is the ultimate key to resilience. So inevitable mentality was
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: the very first one.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Well said, Nicholas.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Well said. That's probably the third time you've said that
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: in five years. Thank you. The second one, we've said
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: this a lot, but vision matures as you do. What
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: we saw when we first started and what we see now,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: they're not different, but man, it's so much clearer.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: This is, so I take this from a couple places.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I take this from Joseph's story, and I recap that
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: all the time. And I also take this from Romans 12,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: 1 and 2, right? And specifically Romans 12, 2, where
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: after the promise of transformation is that then, what scripture says,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: then you will see my will, which is perfect and pleasing.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Transformation is not a one-time thing. You continually transform. And
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: so what this is, is that God's plan for your life,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: God's vision for you, he has it all. But to us,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: like what is revelation? Revelation is... is getting a deeper
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: understanding of who God is. He didn't change, but I
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: was able to see more. That's how vision happens in
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: your life, okay?
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very good.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: You'll see a glimpse, and that's who God is. But
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: even Moses, who had walked with God, heard God's voice,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: God's the one who spoke to him, went up to
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the top of the mountain and said, God, show me
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: your glory. Give me deeper revelation. After he already knew him,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: had a deep relationship with him, he's the one that
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: You know, that's after God, I mean, Moses had already
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: taken the people into the desert, goes up on the mountain, says, God,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: show me your glory.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This is an understanding of revelation. Very good. The
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: longer you walk with God, the more he'll show you.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: And God's vision, God's plan, God's purpose for your life,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: he doesn't show it to you all at once. He didn't,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: when God appeared to Moses at the burning bush, he
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: didn't hand him a brochure with all the pictures of
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: when you get to the island, here's what you're going
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: to see. Right. Here's the experiences. He didn't show him that.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: He said, follow me. Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: He says, here's the plan. Follow me, okay?
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: And this is the way that God works with vision
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in your life. It matures as you do. The more
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: you follow me, the more I'll show you, right? It
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: is a relationship. Through intimacy, you see more of who
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: God is. That's how relationships work. Same with your wife.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Same with what we're talking about today is in the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: nature of the relationship between you and your business and
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: God's plan for your life and how much you see
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: of it. The more relationship you have with it, the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: more you're going to see. So as you grow over time...
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: You see further down the road. This is Joseph. I
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: just have a dream that my brothers would bow down
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: to me. His purpose was way bigger, right? This is,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: for me, I've had a dream to be great. I
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: had a dream of being a Navy SEAL. I had
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: a dream of being a leader. I didn't see everything
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that I see today back then. Now I see way
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: more than I saw then. When we first sat out
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: on this podcast, I said, I believe this is going
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: to be something. I believe this is gonna help people.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I believe this will help me. I believe this will
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: be a platform that we can share. There's this thread
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I've been pulling on my entire life, that I believe
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: that there's something that's not necessarily been missed, but that
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: there is a path that is a true greatness path of,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to live everything that God's called me to live.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to truly stand on his principles, all of
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: his secrets, all of his victories. There's a path there
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: for us. You do not have to live the way
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: that the world tells you to live, you don't have
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: to live under the power of sin. That's exactly why
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Christ died on the cross. So when you put all
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of these things together and understand that God has a
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: plan for you, there is a way where you can
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: be inevitable. And so I saw that for this podcast,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: but I can tell you, I didn't see five years
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: ago everything that I see today. What I see today
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: is it looks like, man, I went further down the road, right?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: If you wanna go climb a mountain and you start
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: out 20 miles away from that mountain, You can just
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: see a mountain in the distance. But then as you
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: get closer, you see more details. You can see the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: top more clearly. You can see the path that you're
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: going to take to get there. Now, there's still a
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff you're going to have to discover, but
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the further you walk down the journey, the more you
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: can see. And one of the great lessons that this
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: podcast has been, we've preached it and we've lived it
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: at the same time, is that vision matures as you do.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: So you've just got to decide for whatever your vision is,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: for what you can see today, that you're going to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: keep going.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I'll just say you, you saw, I've said
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: it many times, you saw way more than I did.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: And I would say even now you still have you,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: there's some things we're working on now that I'm like, man,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: you were ahead of your time. I feel like you've
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: seen things before they, it was the time for them
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: a lot in your life. Um, whereas I, that's not
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: been me. Like when we started this podcast, I was
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: just like, man, people need what this guy has. I
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: was very much like from coaching with you. I was like, man,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: you're more people should hear from you. Cause I felt
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: like I've tried a lot of stuff. And actually like
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: being with you was the thing that I was like, man,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: this is, you know, there was clearly God was in it.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: So I just wanted to give that to more people.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I had no idea of all the stuff you said
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: where you're like, I want our podcast to be cumulative.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like, uh, okay. I thought we'd just get a
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: bunch of guests. Nothing we can say can ever not
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: stand the test of time. And I was like, well,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say anything. And it's like, based
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: on that criteria, I'm going to maybe crack some jokes.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: And I understand that now, but, but I'm saying this
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: to encourage people. All I saw was like, man, I
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: have some skills as a marketer that I know I
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: can at least get this out for people to maybe
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: find it. And even then, I didn't know a fraction
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: of what I've learned in the past five years. But
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what you're saying. But I started, and it
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: was like I had a very, very small grain of vision.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: And as we've gone, it's grown and grown and grown.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: And I think that's just the goodness of God. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: love that point you made about Moses. I think that,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, for the guy who stood up to the
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: most powerful nation in the world to be going, show
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: me your glory. I don't want to go if you're
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: not going to go with us, but I don't even
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: know you. It's like, wait, what? You've already seen it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: You would think he's already seen it at this point.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: For most people, if they'd gotten that much of God,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: they'd be like writing books and doing seminars. Yeah, I
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: already know everything. Yeah. And he's like, I don't know you.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: And that's such a great picture.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: So vision matures, you do last.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Just before we go to this last point.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: This is obvious, but sometimes we just need the... It's
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a scene in Back to the Future where he knocks
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: on McFly. McFly. Hey, hey, is anybody there? Sometimes we
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: just need, you know, a little bit more of a reminder.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: This is not just Nick and I telling our story.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: This is Nick and I encouraging you.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: We believe in you. We are here to help you.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: And we want you to see the same things that
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: we have seen. And so if you have a dream,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: just like we've had a dream. We're trying to tell
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: you these lessons aren't just for us. We're sharing these
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: lessons with you.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know what? We're the body of Christ.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: We all need to run our race because every win
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: that somebody else in the body of Christ has, like
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: we love Josh Howerton. I would love to get to
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: the place that he's at as a podcast, but I'm
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: not like looking at him going like, oh man, I'm going, yes,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: keep going. Bryce Crawford, keep going. Like all these guys.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: When you truly understand the glory of God, you don't
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: look at life and say it's a zero-sum game. Correct.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: That is Satan's mindset. Yes.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: It's a zero-sum game.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're cheering all these people that are already
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: known on, but what we know is there's plenty of
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: people who are like us that are either further along
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: or further behind, and we're saying, you keep going too.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: We all need it.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: If God's glory is infinite, the more I get of
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean the less you get of it. What
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: it should mean is the more I get of it,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: the more you get of it too.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're drawn from an endless well, and we all
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: need each other to run that way.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: So the last last lesson here so we've talked about
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the inevitable mentality the inevitable mindset lesson number two that
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: vision matures as you do and third lesson here learn
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: this one from old pops mr pops it's great to
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: have examples in your life i hope to be a
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: great example to other people my father uh what we
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: always talk about him is consistency and the lesson is
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: that consistency wins and slash, okay, this is the second part.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Consistency wins sounds awesome. Yes. Oh, great.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: All I got to do is consistency. And it always
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: takes way longer than you think. Part of the reason
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: we gave you the numbers at the beginning of, hey,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: it was this, then it was this, okay, was because
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: so many people, they're like, oh, I'm going to put
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: all this effort in.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, and nobody listened.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: And again, that's also why I made the point of like, look,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I've got something that many people don't have.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Again, this isn't me patting myself on the back.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: It just You would think like, oh, being Navy SEAL,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: it's like on day 30, you'd have more than 60 plays.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: It's a factual statement. You had a head start.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: It took a long time to get to here.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: But what Nick and I have done for the last
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: five years now, at the end of year one, we
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: took December off. And then we came back in January
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: and said, we'll never do that again.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Right. And so from January of, what, 22?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Yep. So we recorded through 21 and then took December off.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: And since January of 2022, we have not gone a
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: week without posting an episode. And then it was a
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: few years ago, I remember specifically, it was a few
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: years ago, we went to two episodes a week. And
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Nick and I, I cannot tell you, I will not
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: take the time, just understand it's a lot of effort
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: and anecdotes and lessons I could share with you of
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: how hard it is, how much we forced this into
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: our life to make it happen. Nick comes over to
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: my house at 5.30 in the morning, at inconvenient times
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: because both of our lives are really busy. I got
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: a lot going on and we say, we're doing this anyways.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: That's the price of consistency. Consistency makes zero allowance for convenience.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: When you let convenience into your life, when you let
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: emotional leadership come into your life, you don't get the
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: benefit of consistency. Consistency is tested.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: In those moments, right?
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: When it's not convenient, let's see how bad you wanna
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: be consistent. And to do that, you have to believe
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: in the fruit of consistency more than you are hearing
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: the pain of the discomfort, the busted schedule, the disorganization
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: and chaos in your life, you have to value the
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: fruit of consistency and say, this is when it counts.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Gee, that is so good. And that's exactly right, man.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Some of my own personal takeaways is it's hard to
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: beat someone who just won't quit. And the mentality that
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: I've had in this is little and often beats great
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: surges of effort. You said this, Strength is measured not
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: by how much you can pick up, but by what
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: you don't have to put down. And that is truly it.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Don't think about what you could do and be like, well,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: what would I have to do to get to X?
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: What could you do that you could just never stop?
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: It's a completely different mindset. That's right. Because I could
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: go with a 30-day discipline program and get myself in
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: better shape, but what workout could I do that I
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: could do it every day and never stop?
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. No, for real.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, I'm going to go, I'm going to
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: go do the most elite fitness program for the next
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: 30 days and see where I get.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Or you know what?
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Every day, a hundred jumping jacks, a hundred pushups, a
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: hundred body weight squats every single day, no matter what.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And, and with that, I mean, You know, when
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: you start and you believe in what you're doing, a
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: big lesson as well, fruit takes time, man. Like we said,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: it takes longer than you think. If you would have
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: said to me like, hey, here's where you're going to
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: be on day one, I'd have been like, yes. So
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: how long does that take? Like, is this a year
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: from now? You're like, oh, no, it's five years from now.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, I'm sorry, five years from now?
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Wow. I would have thought we would get there a
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: lot faster.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: What I've experienced in my life, and this is, some
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: of it is just, it's not this way for everybody.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: This is principles, but also some people based upon what
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: you pursue, the way that you live, you live on
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: different frequency cycles, okay? The type, when you're pursuing an
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: eternal mindset, that's a long wavelength.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, and so what that means is your cycles from
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: bottom to top, it's a lot longer when you're pursuing something.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Like those are the waves that go the furthest.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: And so if you're pursuing something that's way out there,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: your cycles, they take a little bit longer. And you
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: know what this means is, when I'm reaping fruit in
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: my life, and right in this podcast is an example
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: of that. We're reaping fruit today. This is reaping fruit
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: of seed that we sowed years ago. When people write
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: emails into this podcast, and it happens all the time now,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: like nearly on a daily basis, get an email.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: It is every day. Yeah.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: On a daily basis, this podcast changed my life three
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: paragraphs and in there it says, I started listening to
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: this podcast in 2022.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Okay. So been listening for three years, been listening for
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: four years. Now the transformation happens. If you're pursuing something
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: great in your life, don't expect to see fruit of
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: it next month. Yeah. If you want to go launch
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the next great toothpaste brand, sure. You can get reviews
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: in 30 days. If you want to change the world,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: if you want to change people's mindsets, it's not going
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: to happen tomorrow. SpaceX is getting close to where they're
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: accomplishing their dreams, right? But they still don't even have
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: the Starship Heavy going up and down, putting people into space,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: and they're still years away from Mars, right? They've had
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: some great IPO this year. They put up the Falcon
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: 9 in 2010. They re-landed a Falcon 9 in 2015.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: But this is objectively the most, from a business point,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: most successful person of our time, okay? Yeah, 100%. And
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: his greatest, most important project, It's 2026. They just IPO-ed.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: They haven't even made it to Mars yet. SpaceX was
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: founded in 2002. Wow. It takes way longer than you
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: think it's going to succeed. So quit worrying about the
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: timeline and just spend all of your time on what
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: God puts you on the earth to do. Decide, what's
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: the thing I want to do forever? What's the thing
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I don't care if I fail? I know this is right.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: And be consistent at that. And then just keep going
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: and keep going and keep going. Don't even look back.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: And then one day someone's going to hand you The
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: fruit that says, here's what you did. Here's how you
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: changed the world. Here's how you changed my life. That
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: only happens if you decide to be consistent.
