- 1:00Speaker 3: All right, guys, welcome back Earn your Leisure Virtual Edition.
- 1:05Speaker 3: This is a very interesting and special episode, something that
- 1:08Speaker 3: I think is extremely timely. It's always timely, but especially
- 1:11Speaker 3: during this time of social distancing. We talk about, you know,
- 1:14Speaker 3: financial wellness and even physical wellness, but mental wellness something
- 1:20Speaker 3: that's not really highlighted enough, and it's extremely important. All
- 1:23Speaker 3: goes hand in hand as far as finances and being
- 1:26Speaker 3: an entrepreneur is one of the most stressful careers that
- 1:29Speaker 3: you can actually pick.
- 1:30Speaker 2: The number one ass that you need is your health.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:32Speaker 3: So today we have we're going to combine all of that.
- 1:34Speaker 3: We have an entrepreneur who is also in the mental
- 1:38Speaker 3: health space. The first time we've ever really covered mental
- 1:40Speaker 3: health and depth.
- 1:42Speaker 5: And something that we don't talk about in our community enough.
- 1:44Speaker 5: So I'm happy that we have somebody here to highlight
- 1:46Speaker 5: it today.
- 1:47Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
- 1:48Speaker 3: So David mccullor out of Detroit, from Detroit, right, yeah,
- 1:54Speaker 3: shot shout out to Detroit. Got a out of Lovey Ken,
- 1:58Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, out in Detroit. Top out there for sure.
- 2:01Speaker 3: So David is interested. I said, he's an entrepreneur and
- 2:05Speaker 3: he has a company called Inception, which is actually a
- 2:09Speaker 3: mental wellness It's a variety of different things. It's an
- 2:12Speaker 3: actual a physical facility and it actually just reading it.
- 2:17Speaker 3: I'll let him explain it better than I can, but
- 2:20Speaker 3: it attacks it. I don't want to say attack. It
- 2:22Speaker 3: approaches mental health from a whole different standpoint.
- 2:25Speaker 5: I'd like to call it, and maybe you can take
- 2:27Speaker 5: Maybe you guys call it this a sent a wellness enterprise.
- 2:31Speaker 6: Well, we call it the first mental health gym.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Mental health gym.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's something that so let's start right there,
- 2:37Speaker 3: because that's what I really caught my attention because usually
- 2:40Speaker 3: it's a mental health clinic, mental health facility, even like
- 2:44Speaker 3: a mental hospital. Right, I've never heard of it a
- 2:46Speaker 3: mental gym. You think of gym. You think of like
- 2:48Speaker 3: exercise and working out, physical gym. So it was interested
- 2:51Speaker 3: when you said mental health gym. So what does that mean?
- 2:55Speaker 3: What's a mental health gym?
- 2:58Speaker 7: Well, the reason why I came up with a term
- 3:00Speaker 7: mental health gymist because I wanted to normalize the actual
- 3:05Speaker 7: process for everyday people to come in and take care
- 3:09Speaker 7: of their number one thing we have is our mind, right,
- 3:12Speaker 7: but there is nothing for this the everyday average person.
- 3:16Speaker 7: When we talk about mental health, we always talk about
- 3:19Speaker 7: you know, the aunt who's schizophrenic or something like that.
- 3:22Speaker 7: We go to this very extreme, but we don't understand
- 3:25Speaker 7: that seventy to ninety percent of doctor's business or due
- 3:28Speaker 7: to stress related illnesses. So all of your issues that's
- 3:32Speaker 7: happening right now is based on stress and anxiety, and
- 3:36Speaker 7: well stress anxiety is just a symptom of stress, but
- 3:40Speaker 7: stress and trauma. So I wanted to create something in
- 3:45Speaker 7: my first business, you know, kind of going back in
- 3:47Speaker 7: two thousand and seven, because I personally suffer from anxiety, depression,
- 3:51Speaker 7: and panic attacks.
- 3:53Speaker 6: And from that standpoint.
- 3:55Speaker 7: I was personally looking for something to help me overcome
- 3:59Speaker 7: what I was dealing with. But at that time, there's
- 4:01Speaker 7: only two resources really available to us.
- 4:04Speaker 6: Typically is taught therapy and the other is medication.
- 4:09Speaker 7: And that's when I first I found my first technology
- 4:12Speaker 7: that we use called brainwave viptimization.
- 4:15Speaker 6: Brain training is the other term for.
- 4:17Speaker 7: It, and that helped me overcome my anxiety by fifty
- 4:20Speaker 7: percent just in one day. Pharmacology can't even get those
- 4:24Speaker 7: types of results. And this is all alternative based technology
- 4:28Speaker 7: is not considered in the mental or the medical field.
- 4:32Speaker 7: So in discovering that technology and having that experience for
- 4:36Speaker 7: myself that me and my dad brought that technology, which
- 4:39Speaker 7: first one is to bring it back to Michigan, and
- 4:41Speaker 7: we first started was called Neurofitness Center. So really the
- 4:45Speaker 7: mental health Gym is just an extension of that foundation.
- 4:49Speaker 6: That we started in two thousand and seven, and.
- 4:51Speaker 7: So Inception is just it was a name and it's like, well,
- 4:55Speaker 7: I need to put a title to it that to
- 4:58Speaker 7: call the people to underst fan that, Hey, you go
- 5:01Speaker 7: to the physical gym, like you do something for your in.
- 5:04Speaker 2: There, your inner sell I think you said something something brilliant.
- 5:07Speaker 2: You said.
- 5:07Speaker 5: A lot of people across the country they look at
- 5:10Speaker 5: gyms opening up, right, and a lot of people work
- 5:12Speaker 5: on the outside appearance, but they forget about the inside appearance.
- 5:15Speaker 5: And it really just means that there's a lack of
- 5:17Speaker 5: something inside that makes you want to have the outside
- 5:20Speaker 5: be validated more than it should be. It was when
- 5:23Speaker 5: you took that into mind right and creating inception and
- 5:26Speaker 5: thought about the brain training, how what took the technique?
- 5:31Speaker 5: Where'd you get this from? Because you didn't initially study science, right.
- 5:35Speaker 7: No, my back My background is an information technology. So
- 5:39Speaker 7: but the brain is really like like the Internet, and
- 5:43Speaker 7: then universes like the Internet, they all mimic each other.
- 5:46Speaker 7: So so I've kind of understood networks and I understood
- 5:50Speaker 7: that I understood neuroplasticity and neuro's plasticity is the idea
- 5:55Speaker 7: that your brain can actually change itself. Because growing up,
- 5:58Speaker 7: we taught we were taught that. We all probably heard it,
- 6:01Speaker 7: you can't teach your old dog new tricks. Well, that
- 6:05Speaker 7: really conditioned us to understand that once something was set,
- 6:09Speaker 7: you're pretty much stuck with that pattern. There's nothing you
- 6:11Speaker 7: can do about it. That's always been the conversation. But
- 6:15Speaker 7: that's that's not true. Your brain is constantly changing and developing.
- 6:20Speaker 7: The problem is we continue to do the same pattern
- 6:23Speaker 7: so we get the same results. Right. So, yeah, we
- 6:28Speaker 7: found that technology, and I found it out of Arizona,
- 6:31Speaker 7: and it's just some amazing people out here that's been
- 6:33Speaker 7: doing amazing things in the alternative world, but you never
- 6:36Speaker 7: hear about it because it's not in mainstream medical society.
- 6:42Speaker 7: So I was really kind of like on a cusp
- 6:45Speaker 7: on an out as an outlier out here with you know,
- 6:48Speaker 7: these people in the alternative world, and looked at it
- 6:50Speaker 7: in a specific way. But now you fast forward thirteen
- 6:53Speaker 7: years later, you hear everybody know who doctor Sabe was.
- 6:57Speaker 7: I knew who doctor Saby was thirteen years ago, but
- 6:59Speaker 7: you didn't hear that story because that story was suppressed
- 7:02Speaker 7: because look, it's money and sickness, not necessarily in being well.
- 7:07Speaker 3: So can we talk about your journey as far as
- 7:09Speaker 3: so two thousand and five, you suffered from severe anxiety,
- 7:13Speaker 3: painic attacks, depression, and insomnia.
- 7:16Speaker 4: Right, So where did that just happen overnight?
- 7:20Speaker 3: Or was that something that you always kind of struggle
- 7:22Speaker 3: with and just kind of got worse as you became older.
- 7:24Speaker 6: Or yeah, so kind of like both.
- 7:27Speaker 7: I always try to take people and then understand the
- 7:30Speaker 7: trauma paradigm and understanding that we've all experienced trauma in
- 7:33Speaker 7: our lives. The problem is when we talk about trauma,
- 7:37Speaker 7: we always think about it from a you know, someone
- 7:39Speaker 7: was in a car accident and somebody was raped or
- 7:41Speaker 7: something like that. But trauma is anything that's overwhelming to
- 7:44Speaker 7: your nervous system. You could have been, you know, coming
- 7:47Speaker 7: down the slide as a kid and then your dad
- 7:50Speaker 7: or your mom forgot to catch you and you failed,
- 7:52Speaker 7: and all of a sudden you're traumatized by that. So
- 7:55Speaker 7: it can take very small instances that can overwhelm your system,
- 7:59Speaker 7: you know, and then on how your system sees a threat.
- 8:02Speaker 7: So you take a look at I tell people, they say,
- 8:05Speaker 7: what happened to you? I say, well, I was born.
- 8:07Speaker 7: The moment you're born, your a trauma clock starts ticking.
- 8:10Speaker 7: You start to you know, experience world in an unsafe way,
- 8:14Speaker 7: and anytime your brain feels unsafe, it's going to go
- 8:18Speaker 7: into the fight flight freeze response to protect you.
- 8:21Speaker 6: So that's all trauma is.
- 8:23Speaker 7: Trauma is is nothing but a defense mechanism based on
- 8:26Speaker 7: lack of safety. So I've had you know, you go
- 8:29Speaker 7: into school, we are at one point in time either
- 8:32Speaker 7: we were bullied in school or we were to bully,
- 8:34Speaker 7: and those two things stem from you know, a lack
- 8:38Speaker 7: of safety. Right, So going to school, you know, you
- 8:41Speaker 7: have instances in school, and then growing up, I was
- 8:44Speaker 7: in a couple of car accidents and really is no
- 8:47Speaker 7: one event for me that took me to that one place.
- 8:49Speaker 7: It just was accumulation of everything to the point where
- 8:53Speaker 7: now my system can no longer adapt and now I'm
- 8:56Speaker 7: having panic attacks and anxiety and depression. But when people
- 8:59Speaker 7: come to me and they say they have these symptoms,
- 9:02Speaker 7: always go back, Okay, what happened before? What happened when
- 9:07Speaker 7: you start getting these symptoms, and it's all you can
- 9:10Speaker 7: trace it back to that trauma.
- 9:12Speaker 3: So you you spoke about as far as a technique,
- 9:15Speaker 3: I forget what it's called, but it's the brain.
- 9:19Speaker 4: It's altered. Yeah, yeah, is what exactly is that?
- 9:22Speaker 7: So brain training is a computer software is the technical
- 9:27Speaker 7: term is called neuro feedback.
- 9:28Speaker 6: Neuro feedback have been around for thirty years.
- 9:31Speaker 7: So back to that trauma concept where your brain is
- 9:35Speaker 7: going to go into a state of defense based on
- 9:38Speaker 7: what you're up against, right, and.
- 9:40Speaker 6: It's going to protect you.
- 9:41Speaker 7: Now, this is all instinctual, It has nothing to do
- 9:44Speaker 7: with you. You know, your brain is going to react,
- 9:47Speaker 7: just like if it starts to get warm in this room,
- 9:49Speaker 7: in your room, you may start to sweat, but you
- 9:53Speaker 7: didn't turn the sweat glands on right like, so your body,
- 9:56Speaker 7: your body is hardwired and coded.
- 9:58Speaker 6: To protect you.
- 9:59Speaker 7: So but after the event is over, after the stressful
- 10:02Speaker 7: traumatic event is over, your brain becomes locked down in
- 10:06Speaker 7: that pattern, still protecting you from stuff that happened years ago.
- 10:10Speaker 7: So the neuro feedback is allowing your brain is replacing
- 10:14Speaker 7: sensors on the scalp and it's all read only. It's
- 10:16Speaker 7: not electroshock therapy, so it's no juice going into the sensors.
- 10:21Speaker 7: So it's picking up the brainwave of activity in real
- 10:24Speaker 7: time sends it to the computer software, and the computer
- 10:28Speaker 7: software it begins to send back these this information to
- 10:31Speaker 7: the brain. Where you listen to you listening to music
- 10:34Speaker 7: and there's these skips, pauses and interrupts in the music.
- 10:37Speaker 7: And what that is those skips, pauses and interrupts is
- 10:40Speaker 7: when your brain is going into these patterns of like
- 10:43Speaker 7: what I spoke about before, of stress and trauma, and
- 10:46Speaker 7: the brain becomes aware of itself. So if I say, hey,
- 10:50Speaker 7: you got something on your face right here, what do
- 10:52Speaker 7: you do? You're going to go and try to get
- 10:54Speaker 7: it off your face because you want to be optimal. Well,
- 10:57Speaker 7: the same thing happens to the brain when it's able
- 11:00Speaker 7: to observe itself. So the brain training is really acting
- 11:03Speaker 7: as a mirror, so the brain can see itself and
- 11:06Speaker 7: the brain can change itself. The brain changes itself by
- 11:10Speaker 7: moving from a state of anxiety, stress, trauma to a
- 11:15Speaker 7: state of relaxation because now the brain recognizes, hey, the
- 11:20Speaker 7: threat is gone.
- 11:21Speaker 6: It's not even in front of us anymore.
- 11:22Speaker 7: Why are we still acting as if that threat is
- 11:25Speaker 7: still present. So we have clients will come in and
- 11:28Speaker 7: they'll do you know, brain training in one session and
- 11:30Speaker 7: they'll end up in tears. Why is it because now
- 11:34Speaker 7: the brain finally let go of everything that was hold
- 11:36Speaker 7: on to and the body is now going to a
- 11:39Speaker 7: relaxed state and that the emotions have a surface.
- 11:44Speaker 3: Okay, So as far as you know, turn it into
- 11:47Speaker 3: an actual business, right, because you decided to try not
- 11:50Speaker 3: only help people, would actually build out a whole brand
- 11:53Speaker 3: about it. What was the deciding fact then? How did
- 11:55Speaker 3: that come about? As far as all right, so you
- 11:58Speaker 3: you had some issues and then you actually seek help
- 12:01Speaker 3: yourself and it worked out for you. And now you
- 12:04Speaker 3: actually want to turn that into something where you're helping
- 12:07Speaker 3: other people, Like what's the process into actually incorporating it
- 12:10Speaker 3: and actually making it something that you want to make
- 12:12Speaker 3: it to a enterprise.
- 12:14Speaker 7: So when we created the first business neuro fitness center,
- 12:18Speaker 7: you know, we were using that technology. So we became
- 12:20Speaker 7: affiliates of that technology and again we brought that back
- 12:24Speaker 7: here and was the first ones and we only had
- 12:26Speaker 7: one one technology at that time. And when we were
- 12:30Speaker 7: out in Arizona, me and my dad, we saw all
- 12:33Speaker 7: these people come in. None of us, when I mean us,
- 12:36Speaker 7: none of none of no black people was there other
- 12:39Speaker 7: than the FedEx guy delivering stuff. Right, So me and
- 12:42Speaker 7: my dad the only people there, and we're seeing people
- 12:44Speaker 7: come in through like lunch breaks and things of that nature.
- 12:47Speaker 6: And we started talking.
- 12:48Speaker 7: To a lot of them and the results that they
- 12:51Speaker 7: were getting was amazing, and it was it was like
- 12:54Speaker 7: our results. So we felt like this is this is
- 12:57Speaker 7: something that people really needed. And but we were really
- 13:01Speaker 7: naive because we thought, as you know, just me and
- 13:05Speaker 7: my dad were thinking as entrepreneurs and thinking, oh, this
- 13:08Speaker 7: could really help people and people would want it, but
- 13:10Speaker 7: people didn't really want it.
- 13:13Speaker 5: That was that was That was my next thing. It
- 13:15Speaker 5: was like, there's a stigma, especially in our community around
- 13:18Speaker 5: mental health. It's not something we want to talk about,
- 13:20Speaker 5: like like you said, it's like, oh that's my that's
- 13:22Speaker 5: my uncle who lives in that room, and don't mess
- 13:24Speaker 5: with them. And how did you how did you get
- 13:27Speaker 5: around that stigma and combat that when you were going
- 13:30Speaker 5: on this journey.
- 13:33Speaker 7: You know, honestly, I didn't even I didn't even recognize
- 13:36Speaker 7: the stigma.
- 13:37Speaker 6: I just knew that I had an issue. I was
- 13:39Speaker 6: an entrepreneur.
- 13:40Speaker 7: I got a tool to help me, and I was
- 13:42Speaker 7: helping other people. And we had clients coming in so
- 13:45Speaker 7: I never really looked at it as a as an issue,
- 13:49Speaker 7: but along the way I started recognizing that when we
- 13:52Speaker 7: even just offered it free to our family, like, they
- 13:55Speaker 7: wouldn't even come in. So I was like, what, what's
- 13:59Speaker 7: what's wrong? Why don't why don't you come in? And
- 14:01Speaker 7: it's not just that it was a stigma. It's because
- 14:05Speaker 7: people have an association to their pain, where you know,
- 14:10Speaker 7: an unfamiliar gain is greater than a familiar you know gain,
- 14:15Speaker 7: So a familiar pain is greater than unfamiliar gain. So
- 14:18Speaker 7: people will want to stay in that pattern because like, well,
- 14:21Speaker 7: I know this pain and I don't know what's on
- 14:24Speaker 7: the other side of this, but I'm familiar with this,
- 14:27Speaker 7: so I'd rather stay in this pattern. That is a
- 14:29Speaker 7: psychological term that's out there. It's a secondary gain. They
- 14:32Speaker 7: actually receive something from staying in the states that they're in.
- 14:36Speaker 7: You'll see people who will constantly complain about having all
- 14:40Speaker 7: these different things, but you'll see that they won't actually
- 14:43Speaker 7: take a steps to do anything about it. So that's
- 14:46Speaker 7: kind of like thing that we've been kind of up
- 14:48Speaker 7: against for the last thirteen years. So to really answer
- 14:51Speaker 7: the question, I've just really stayed the course for the
- 14:55Speaker 7: last thirteen years to you know how three you know,
- 14:57Speaker 7: how truth goes through those three stages versus violently opposed,
- 15:01Speaker 7: second is highly ridiculed, and thirdly it is wildly accepted. Well,
- 15:05Speaker 7: we're going on a wildly accepted stage. I just happen
- 15:08Speaker 7: to be still doing what I've been doing thirteen years
- 15:12Speaker 7: ago and evolveding along with you know, the consciousness as
- 15:16Speaker 7: it moves towards that.
- 15:18Speaker 3: So as far as you know, you know, you have
- 15:21Speaker 3: the thirty five hundred square for facility, and I would
- 15:24Speaker 3: assume that building out a mental wellness facility or mental
- 15:29Speaker 3: wellness company in general, it would be kind of hard
- 15:31Speaker 3: to get financing because, like you said, especially in our community,
- 15:33Speaker 3: black community, it's not something that we really acknowledge. Even
- 15:38Speaker 3: a lot of people still don't even acknowledge mental illness,
- 15:40Speaker 3: and it's not something that we talk about, and it's
- 15:41Speaker 3: not something that you know, people don't really go.
- 15:43Speaker 4: To therapists that much.
- 15:45Speaker 3: So like, how is that journey as far as like financing,
- 15:48Speaker 3: Like how was you able to get financing and actually,
- 15:51Speaker 3: you know, get people excited and rally behind a business
- 15:54Speaker 3: that there's definitely a need for. But like I said,
- 15:58Speaker 3: it's not really like a popular thing.
- 16:01Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I'll talk to you about all the pitfalls
- 16:04Speaker 7: along the way, because I want people to have a
- 16:05Speaker 7: very clear picture that this is not like easypasy, right.
- 16:10Speaker 7: So when we first started, it was just me and
- 16:13Speaker 7: my dad and he put up his own money for
- 16:15Speaker 7: whatever technology we needed at a time, and we had
- 16:18Speaker 7: like eleven hundred square feet. And so along the way,
- 16:21Speaker 7: again I kept looking at different things because I still
- 16:24Speaker 7: needed to get better myself. And there's no one tool
- 16:26Speaker 7: that just takes you to the promised land. You know,
- 16:29Speaker 7: you need, you know, a multitude of tools. If you
- 16:32Speaker 7: go to the gym, if that gym just has a
- 16:34Speaker 7: bench press, I mean you're out of there, right, So
- 16:37Speaker 7: we need multiple tools.
- 16:39Speaker 6: So along the way, I just kept taking.
- 16:41Speaker 7: The money that we were making and reinvesting it back
- 16:43Speaker 7: into the business and adding different technologies. But it started
- 16:48Speaker 7: really taking off the twenty fourteen when I added one
- 16:51Speaker 7: of our most popular services called flotation therapy.
- 16:55Speaker 6: And flotation therapy.
- 16:57Speaker 7: Have been really growing around the world, and so that
- 17:02Speaker 7: one service. By adding that one service, my business start
- 17:05Speaker 7: to really skyrocket, and people started going out there and
- 17:08Speaker 7: making what's called float centers. But because I had my
- 17:11Speaker 7: background and what I was doing in the beginning. I
- 17:15Speaker 7: knew that just having a center with one tool eventually
- 17:19Speaker 7: wasn't going to be the thing, right, It wasn't going
- 17:22Speaker 7: to work.
- 17:23Speaker 6: We had a gym here years ago, it's.
- 17:25Speaker 7: Called Fitness USA, and they had these lifetime memberships, and
- 17:31Speaker 7: this is before all the gyms started really popping up
- 17:34Speaker 7: around nineteen ninety nine. And what I saw too was
- 17:39Speaker 7: happening is that places like Valleys and Fitness La Fitness
- 17:44Speaker 7: and they start coming on board, and what do they
- 17:47Speaker 7: start doing?
- 17:48Speaker 6: Add more amenities, right, add more services.
- 17:51Speaker 7: So I kind of took that same approach and said,
- 17:53Speaker 7: you know, if you just got one service, as these
- 17:56Speaker 7: these wellness based technologies come out, and you have no
- 18:00Speaker 7: philosophy or rhyme or reason of what you're doing, you
- 18:03Speaker 7: know it's going to be hard to survive that. And
- 18:07Speaker 7: that's really what's been happening. You see people with these
- 18:09Speaker 7: one tools and they really don't even know how they work.
- 18:11Speaker 7: So I had the framework and understanding of what it
- 18:16Speaker 7: is that we were actually doing, to the point where
- 18:19Speaker 7: I had a medical doctor come and do some floating
- 18:22Speaker 7: and he said, you know, I want to open up
- 18:24Speaker 7: something and this was what our neual fitness center of business,
- 18:28Speaker 7: and we went and opened my full fledged concept up
- 18:33Speaker 7: in ann Arbor. So we did that and that's how
- 18:36Speaker 7: I Actually that was an investor that came in that
- 18:39Speaker 7: put that money up. But then we start having problems
- 18:42Speaker 7: with that investor and we had to go through a
- 18:44Speaker 7: lawsuit with that investor and next you know, I'm out
- 18:48Speaker 7: of that location. Long story short, So anybody who thinks
- 18:53Speaker 7: about going to loss to sue someone, specifically if it's
- 18:56Speaker 7: a medical doctor. If you if you're of color, that's
- 18:59Speaker 7: probably not the best thing to do. You know, you're
- 19:02Speaker 7: probably not gonna win that fight. But and not winning
- 19:07Speaker 7: that fight, it was a great situation for me because
- 19:11Speaker 7: I had already learned, you know, how to build out,
- 19:15Speaker 7: do a build out, and I already had multiple people
- 19:19Speaker 7: coming at me wanting to do more things because they
- 19:21Speaker 7: saw the model that we had and understood it. And
- 19:24Speaker 7: so I moved away from that and started fresh and
- 19:28Speaker 7: just started an inception at the beginning of something new.
- 19:32Speaker 5: At that point, you have the brain training and then
- 19:35Speaker 5: the flotation device, flotation therapy.
- 19:38Speaker 6: Six different services at that time.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Okay, okay, so my quick question about the brain training.
- 19:44Speaker 5: Is I want the difference between that and meditation or
- 19:47Speaker 5: are they combined?
- 19:48Speaker 2: Like, what's the difference is there?
- 19:51Speaker 7: So meditation is simply closing your eyes and observing yourself
- 19:56Speaker 7: so that you become self aware of your thought problem. Right, Well,
- 20:02Speaker 7: meditation can be really hard for people whose nervous system
- 20:06Speaker 7: again you're stuck in that fight or flight response, that
- 20:09Speaker 7: fighter flight or freeze response. So when you close your
- 20:12Speaker 7: eyes you try to meditate, it's like your mind is
- 20:15Speaker 7: just racing and it just feels you feel very overwhelmed
- 20:18Speaker 7: by trying to meditate. So the brain training is not
- 20:21Speaker 7: necessarily a meditation to it. It's really and this is
- 20:25Speaker 7: what's trying to take place with meditation as well as
- 20:28Speaker 7: just a slower moving process. But brain training is like
- 20:32Speaker 7: that meditation on steroids where it's really it's deactivating your
- 20:37Speaker 7: autonomic nervous system, which has to do with that fight
- 20:40Speaker 7: or flight response. So when it comes to mental health,
- 20:45Speaker 7: I don't look at it from a psychological standpoint, and
- 20:48Speaker 7: that's where most people look at it at and your
- 20:52Speaker 7: authorities on the subject matter shows you that these are
- 20:55Speaker 7: brain body issues that we have within what's the mental
- 20:59Speaker 7: health is brain body issues so again that brain training
- 21:04Speaker 7: is really looking at the structure of your brain and
- 21:07Speaker 7: body and deactivating that versus having it go after you
- 21:10Speaker 7: in a conscious way.
- 21:12Speaker 6: So did that make sense?
- 21:14Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, man, the issue is in the tissues, right.
- 21:19Speaker 3: So you said, so I want to go back to
- 21:20Speaker 3: the gym. So that's interesting though, because you know gyms,
- 21:24Speaker 3: they do have a unique business model and like you said,
- 21:27Speaker 3: I mean they have different, you know, different things, Like
- 21:28Speaker 3: you go to a gym and they might have a
- 21:31Speaker 3: yoga class and they have a spend class. They don't
- 21:34Speaker 3: just have just one thing if it's a good gym, like,
- 21:36Speaker 3: they have a variety of different things. So if you
- 21:38Speaker 3: for you to open a mental gym, it makes complete
- 21:41Speaker 3: sense that you have actually offer a variety of different
- 21:43Speaker 3: classes and things like that. So from a business standpoint,
- 21:46Speaker 3: do you run it the same as a gym? Like
- 21:47Speaker 3: is it a monthly membership that people pay like per
- 21:51Speaker 3: month or can they pay like ala cart Like Okay,
- 21:53Speaker 3: I want to go to this class, so I want
- 21:55Speaker 3: to go to this class, like and do you have
- 21:56Speaker 3: to go to classes every week?
- 21:58Speaker 8: Like?
- 21:58Speaker 4: How's that?
- 22:00Speaker 7: Well, all of our technologies are really kind of plugging
- 22:04Speaker 7: PEP play they aren't class based. So you come in
- 22:08Speaker 7: and how we structured it with these the circuits, our
- 22:11Speaker 7: Total Life Reset circuits. It's three technologies, three services within
- 22:16Speaker 7: a ninety minute timeframe, and we have a set price
- 22:20Speaker 7: for that. We had a membership model to where people
- 22:24Speaker 7: can come in and get that same circuit once a month,
- 22:28Speaker 7: and so we have two different circuit tracks as well.
- 22:31Speaker 6: So really what.
- 22:32Speaker 7: We're doing is is taking all those years of everything
- 22:36Speaker 7: I've learned and simplifying it and saying, hey, this is
- 22:39Speaker 7: what you need to come in and do and why
- 22:42Speaker 7: versus you trying to figure out you got six different technologies,
- 22:46Speaker 7: what do I do? You ever seen the people at
- 22:48Speaker 7: the gym and you see them these videos where you know,
- 22:50Speaker 7: they're like funny videos, people on workout machines and they're
- 22:54Speaker 7: doing crazy stuff because they don't know how to Nobody
- 22:56Speaker 7: taught them how to use it, right. I think about
- 23:00Speaker 7: what we do in our technologies. People people don't know
- 23:03Speaker 7: really why they're using something, so we want to we.
- 23:06Speaker 6: Want to guide them along the process.
- 23:09Speaker 7: And so this is something that we're constantly carving out too,
- 23:13Speaker 7: that understanding for ourselves and for them. And that's the
- 23:16Speaker 7: philosophy of it.
- 23:17Speaker 4: All, all right.
- 23:19Speaker 3: So in the next second we're gonna get into some
- 23:21Speaker 3: more details and yeah, find out some more information for sure.
- 23:25Speaker 3: All right, So in this time we're going to talk
- 23:26Speaker 3: with a few different things. But one thing that you know,
- 23:28Speaker 3: I'm curious and I'm sure a lot of people might
- 23:30Speaker 3: be interested in nowadays, is the mental effects of isolation
- 23:37Speaker 3: and social distancing. This is something that we've never really
- 23:40Speaker 3: seen on a large scale, but it's been scientifically proven
- 23:43Speaker 3: that you know, humans, for the most part are social creatures,
- 23:47Speaker 3: whether whether it's you know, attending a religious institution or
- 23:50Speaker 3: whether it's a church or whatever, or going to school,
- 23:54Speaker 3: going to work, everything. Most of the most part, you
- 23:56Speaker 3: always congregated around people. Even if you're an introvert, you
- 23:59Speaker 3: still go to school, you still go to work, like
- 24:01Speaker 3: you have some kind of interaction. This is like the
- 24:03Speaker 3: first time and you know, I can remember probably in
- 24:06Speaker 3: modern history, where everybody's been isolated for a long period
- 24:09Speaker 3: of time. So what do you think the mental effects
- 24:13Speaker 3: of social distancing will be on people?
- 24:19Speaker 6: Lowered immune system and high trauma.
- 24:23Speaker 7: Because so two thousand and seven, I heard a story
- 24:26Speaker 7: and I don't have the exact source of this, but
- 24:28Speaker 7: they were telling me that.
- 24:29Speaker 6: So if there's a let's say there's a pool of.
- 24:32Speaker 7: Fish and one fish diverts from that pool, and that
- 24:36Speaker 7: there's an earthquake, Well, the pool of fish together collectively
- 24:40Speaker 7: survived that earthquake. That one fish, that one off dies.
- 24:45Speaker 7: Why group economics is group energy, is group currency. Right,
- 24:51Speaker 7: You by yourself stand alone, you can't survive that. This
- 24:55Speaker 7: is why we go to churches.
- 24:56Speaker 6: This is why we're we're.
- 24:58Speaker 7: Really very tribal. Know we are more stronger together than
- 25:02Speaker 7: we are apart. So the social distancing affects I mean again,
- 25:07Speaker 7: it's it's it's our brain is literally reacting to this.
- 25:10Speaker 7: Our brain is reacting to lack of touch too, because
- 25:14Speaker 7: touch is huge, and.
- 25:16Speaker 6: We don't we don't really don't even talk about that.
- 25:20Speaker 7: So specifically as again, men men don't really get touched.
- 25:24Speaker 7: Why why do we think we always have to sex?
- 25:27Speaker 7: We don't really get touched. But you get a handshake
- 25:30Speaker 7: from your brother or something like sometimes, but you don't
- 25:32Speaker 7: really it's not like many people hugging you. Right, So
- 25:36Speaker 7: I think that we're gonna see some major deficits from
- 25:40Speaker 7: this in terms of just mental, emotional, or physical because
- 25:44Speaker 7: of again, disc distancing and constantly seeing trauma over and
- 25:49Speaker 7: over again by constantly watching the numbers. And you know, Detroit,
- 25:53Speaker 7: a lot of people have died, So to keep seeing
- 25:55Speaker 7: that people I know, people who I went to school
- 25:58Speaker 7: with parents and things of that nature, that that's very
- 26:00Speaker 7: traumatic to be watching that. So I think that it's
- 26:05Speaker 7: going to be worse than the virus.
- 26:08Speaker 5: Yeah, And I work in elementary school, so I'm always
- 26:11Speaker 5: thinking about the mental well being of the children that
- 26:13Speaker 5: are going through this.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Right.
- 26:14Speaker 5: I have a sums in kindergarten, so this is his
- 26:16Speaker 5: first school experience, right, And there's so many children throughout
- 26:19Speaker 5: the United States and throughout the world really that are
- 26:22Speaker 5: living in social isolation and sometimes that's not the best environment.
- 26:25Speaker 5: Do you think there is like maybe something modified that
- 26:28Speaker 5: brain training could be something that could creep into education, right?
- 26:32Speaker 5: Because I feel like the mental health piece is going
- 26:34Speaker 5: to be something that we won't know the long term effects,
- 26:37Speaker 5: right because we're living in it right now.
- 26:40Speaker 6: So say that again, do I think that brain training
- 26:43Speaker 6: would be kind.
- 26:43Speaker 5: Of, oh, some type of modified version of it of
- 26:46Speaker 5: having mental health professionals? I know you guys have a team.
- 26:48Speaker 5: There is it something that could creep into education?
- 26:52Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 26:53Speaker 7: I mean we've been looking at wanting to be able
- 26:57Speaker 7: to put this into like school settings, but it's just
- 26:59Speaker 7: a lot of red tape involved in that. Now, we
- 27:03Speaker 7: do work with we do work with kids in general,
- 27:07Speaker 7: but again it's a lot of red tape with that.
- 27:09Speaker 7: But we actually made some headway and get into the
- 27:12Speaker 7: Detroit Police and right before this happened, we had twenty
- 27:16Speaker 7: Detroit Police officers that's supposed to come in on April
- 27:18Speaker 7: fifth and that got diverted. So so that's something that
- 27:23Speaker 7: we want to do is get out there and be
- 27:25Speaker 7: inside communities and take our tools outside of the doors
- 27:30Speaker 7: to the people who need it, which is really you know, everybody.
- 27:34Speaker 3: So one of the things that stops middle class, just
- 27:37Speaker 3: black community in general from going to mental health is
- 27:41Speaker 3: the prices. Right, So like you know, therapists they can
- 27:46Speaker 3: charge it depends one hundred dollars an hour, thousand dollars
- 27:48Speaker 3: an hour, depending on what part of the country you're in.
- 27:51Speaker 3: And I think it's always been looked at as kind
- 27:53Speaker 3: of like a luxury a lot of times, going to
- 27:55Speaker 3: therapy and something that you know people wealthy people will do.
- 27:58Speaker 3: So what's what's your what's your what's your thoughts on that,
- 28:00Speaker 3: like I said, specifically specifically for our community, with your
- 28:03Speaker 3: thoughts on that, and how have you battled that as
- 28:07Speaker 3: far as your business mind because obviously you're in Detroit,
- 28:09Speaker 3: which is you know, it's a it's a blue collar town,
- 28:12Speaker 3: which obviously has had a lot of economic issues, So
- 28:16Speaker 3: like what's what's how do you handle that from the
- 28:19Speaker 3: economic standpoint?
- 28:21Speaker 7: I handle that as a businessman and understanding that people
- 28:24Speaker 7: pay for what they want. You know, people pay for
- 28:27Speaker 7: the things they find value in. So the problem hasn't
- 28:30Speaker 7: necessarily been the pricing. The problem has been they don't
- 28:32Speaker 7: see the value in it, Like I don't understand, like
- 28:35Speaker 7: what is this really doing for me?
- 28:37Speaker 2: You know?
- 28:38Speaker 7: But you will stand in line for Jordan's We know this.
- 28:41Speaker 7: How many times we somebody on your show had to
- 28:44Speaker 7: say that, right.
- 28:46Speaker 2: That's always the example, thats you.
- 28:48Speaker 4: I just thought.
- 28:49Speaker 5: I just thought the other day, Right, every everybody, that's
- 28:52Speaker 5: the example, and we do.
- 28:55Speaker 7: And my thought process is because when I was dealing
- 28:58Speaker 7: with anxiety and panic attacks. Know, I'm not a wealthy person,
- 29:02Speaker 7: but I'm gonna make it happen. I'm gonna get I'm
- 29:04Speaker 7: gonna get what I want, and I put a lot
- 29:07Speaker 7: of money into myself, because that's if I put so
- 29:11Speaker 7: much into here, I'm going to get more out of myself.
- 29:14Speaker 7: I'm going to be in a better state to be
- 29:16Speaker 7: able to manifest.
- 29:17Speaker 6: And create opportunities for myself and other people.
- 29:21Speaker 7: Those shoes or whatever things that we buy, it don't
- 29:24Speaker 7: it doesn't do that, right. So I think that has
- 29:28Speaker 7: just really been a it's been a brand issue, you know,
- 29:33Speaker 7: And that's what I think that inception that we're rebranding
- 29:36Speaker 7: mental health because I'm working with a lot of you know,
- 29:39Speaker 7: hip hop artists, I want to work with, you know,
- 29:42Speaker 7: we work with.
- 29:42Speaker 6: Charlotte Mane, working with people.
- 29:44Speaker 7: I don't want to look at this as like, you know,
- 29:47Speaker 7: come because you have this issue. No, come because you
- 29:51Speaker 7: want to better yourself, not because you have some diagnosis.
- 29:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you said that about Charlagne thing too,
- 29:57Speaker 3: because he's just actually this is you're the second guest
- 29:59Speaker 3: that he's worked And I think it's interesting because yeah,
- 30:03Speaker 3: he's been very.
- 30:04Speaker 4: Vocal about his mental health.
- 30:06Speaker 3: And he's wrote a book about it, and he's been
- 30:10Speaker 3: you know, obviously very on the forefront of that. So
- 30:14Speaker 3: how did that partnership come about, as far as with
- 30:17Speaker 3: you and Charlomagne.
- 30:19Speaker 7: I told my mom back in January twenty nineteen, I said,
- 30:22Speaker 7: I'm gonna get Charlet Magne.
- 30:24Speaker 6: I don't know how I was gonna do it. I
- 30:27Speaker 6: just believe it.
- 30:27Speaker 7: I mean, I'm I'm big into manifesting. I'm big into
- 30:31Speaker 7: creating my reality and understanding that. And by using all
- 30:33Speaker 7: my tools, it gives me a level of peace and
- 30:37Speaker 7: slowed down this and relax. Where can be a businessman
- 30:42Speaker 7: who's going to be on the being flow versus trying
- 30:45Speaker 7: to make things happen. I don't like that process. I
- 30:48Speaker 7: want to be in the flow of everything. So for Charlemagne,
- 30:52Speaker 7: it was just natural. It was like, this guy is
- 30:53Speaker 7: talking about this, but I feel like he's missing pieces
- 30:57Speaker 7: that I lied to him. And so I kept tagging
- 31:02Speaker 7: him in a post because we had some posts that
- 31:06Speaker 7: went viral about there's a picture of me and my
- 31:08Speaker 7: mom's saying how we created the first mental health gym,
- 31:11Speaker 7: and it started it started going viral. So I started
- 31:13Speaker 7: taking it and retagging it, retagging him and Big Sean
- 31:17Speaker 7: as well, because Big Sean is from the deep, so
- 31:19Speaker 7: I'm tagging him. I'm tagging you know, the notable people
- 31:23Speaker 7: in the mental health field, like I want to talk
- 31:25Speaker 7: to y'all. Right, And one day I wake up and
- 31:29Speaker 7: I just look at my IG and I see ct
- 31:32Speaker 7: to God start following you. I'm like, Yo, this dude
- 31:34Speaker 7: just started following me. I'm like, I'm tripping out. Like
- 31:37Speaker 7: it's like nine o'clock in the morning. Actually it's like
- 31:40Speaker 7: six o'clock in the morning. I'm tripping out, like, and
- 31:42Speaker 7: I wonder is he gonna message me, because I had
- 31:45Speaker 7: already messaged him, told him, Hey, I got this.
- 31:49Speaker 6: Going on, I'm going to work with you, blah blah blah.
- 31:51Speaker 7: Right, and he messaged me and said, first everything he says,
- 31:55Speaker 7: peace the peace man.
- 31:59Speaker 6: He said, what's your number?
- 32:00Speaker 7: Man? So he gave me his number and we started talking.
- 32:03Speaker 7: You know, I told him what I was doing, and
- 32:05Speaker 7: he was like, you know, I want to be down
- 32:06Speaker 7: with what you're doing. And so we you know, we
- 32:09Speaker 7: had a little back and forth in terms of playing
- 32:12Speaker 7: tag until one day I finally we kind of reached
- 32:16Speaker 7: reached each other and started really building and I want
- 32:21Speaker 7: to pick him up. It was like June second last year.
- 32:24Speaker 7: I still remember June fourth last year, and I picked
- 32:28Speaker 7: him up.
- 32:28Speaker 6: We were riding in the car.
- 32:29Speaker 7: I said, hey, you found me through me tagging you, right,
- 32:33Speaker 7: He said, No, that's not how I found you.
- 32:35Speaker 6: I said, well, how.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Did you find me?
- 32:37Speaker 7: He said, I looked up mental health gym. I searched
- 32:41Speaker 7: mental health gym because I wanted to create something, see
- 32:45Speaker 7: if it was something that was like a mental health
- 32:47Speaker 7: gym out there. And and at that moment I knew
- 32:51Speaker 7: is it's saying that what you're seeking is seeking you.
- 32:55Speaker 7: Me and him were seeking each other. And so he said, honestly,
- 32:58Speaker 7: he said, man, I saw it, and if I saw
- 33:01Speaker 7: some other dudes was doing it, I was just gonna
- 33:03Speaker 7: do my own thing. I saw it was a brother,
- 33:07Speaker 7: and I saw you had the message in me. And
- 33:09Speaker 7: so that's that's really how it happened. And we've been,
- 33:12Speaker 7: you know, we've been building ever since then.
- 33:14Speaker 5: He's definitely been at the forefront of the mental health space.
- 33:17Speaker 5: Have you seen more men of color as clients since then?
- 33:21Speaker 5: And who was the demographic of clients that you have?
- 33:24Speaker 6: Well, first, let me say this.
- 33:26Speaker 7: In the first probably twelve years, my client was ninety nine.
- 33:32Speaker 6: Percent white women. Okay, that was my clients.
- 33:36Speaker 7: Last year alone, I saw more black people come through
- 33:39Speaker 7: that door and probably a month than I had in
- 33:43Speaker 7: the whole thirteen years. Black man, we're definitely showing up now,
- 33:49Speaker 7: so the numbers are really half and half to the
- 33:52Speaker 7: point where someone asked me, he said, is this place
- 33:54Speaker 7: with black people on? But people assume that now because
- 33:59Speaker 7: so many black people are coming in right the perception
- 34:03Speaker 7: So it's it's we're gravitating to it. We're getting this message.
- 34:08Speaker 7: It's our time to really heal.
- 34:10Speaker 6: And I think that men like, look at us, we're

- 37:26Speaker 7: So it's a lot of us coming in now, so
- 37:30Speaker 7: it's it's it's exciting to see.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Actually, so how do you market? How do you market?
- 37:36Speaker 3: Just because it's not like a traditional business, I guess
- 37:39Speaker 3: with you know, obviously it kind of takes a little
- 37:41Speaker 3: bit more creativity to market. But I like what you
- 37:44Speaker 3: said about the story. That's a great way of marketing
- 37:48Speaker 3: things like social media stuff like that. So what's your
- 37:50Speaker 3: what's your marketing strategy?
- 37:52Speaker 7: That's my main marketing strategy right now is do the
- 37:57Speaker 7: IG through Instagram and then word of my and then
- 38:01Speaker 7: I do have around I think we have around twenty
- 38:05Speaker 7: twenty to thirty ambassadors.
- 38:08Speaker 6: I started really connecting with.
- 38:11Speaker 7: People in the city who were really movers and shakers
- 38:14Speaker 7: who I thought really fit what we do, and they
- 38:18Speaker 7: and they came in and so they go out and
- 38:20Speaker 7: they they spread that word.
- 38:22Speaker 4: Can you talk about that the ambassador program, Like what
- 38:24Speaker 4: does that look like?
- 38:26Speaker 7: So our ambassadors they have access to our services and
- 38:30Speaker 7: you know, like I tell them, come in and use
- 38:33Speaker 7: everything and get yourself to a place of the best
- 38:37Speaker 7: mental space physical space that you can be in because
- 38:40Speaker 7: at that point you just a walking billboard you know,
- 38:43Speaker 7: it's kind of like if you're walking around with six
- 38:45Speaker 7: packs of abs and.
- 38:47Speaker 6: You know in your shirts off, people are gonna run
- 38:49Speaker 6: up to you like, hey.
- 38:49Speaker 7: You a trainer, you can train me. So really that's
- 38:55Speaker 7: that's really the same model that we have for our ambassadors.
- 38:58Speaker 6: It's very simple for them.
- 39:00Speaker 7: But you know, they come in use the services and
- 39:03Speaker 7: they and they go out into the community and they
- 39:04Speaker 7: see people who who you know, want it and they
- 39:08Speaker 7: bring them in.
- 39:09Speaker 4: So just regular this is just regular people.
- 39:11Speaker 3: Or yeah, so yeah, I mean somebody else said that
- 39:15Speaker 3: the other day that we spoke to them, but you
- 39:17Speaker 3: need to shout out to her. But it's like you
- 39:18Speaker 3: got to have evangelists. So people look at influencer marketing
- 39:22Speaker 3: and they only look at it like on Instagram as
- 39:24Speaker 3: like paying celebrities to like promote your product. But there's
- 39:27Speaker 3: all kinds of influencer marketing and there's all kinds of
- 39:30Speaker 3: different ways how you can have evangelists for you, and
- 39:33Speaker 3: that's the best. That's really the best form of marketing.
- 39:35Speaker 3: It's like to have, you know, a core group of
- 39:38Speaker 3: people who really believe in your product and have them
- 39:42Speaker 3: actually tell their friends, their family. Because it's like even
- 39:45Speaker 3: if you want, like if you give the product, and
- 39:46Speaker 3: this discos for just any business in general. I feel
- 39:48Speaker 3: like if you if you have a you know, a restaurant,
- 39:52Speaker 3: right and you might say, okay, look, I'm gonna feed
- 39:54Speaker 3: this one person, but this one person is connected to
- 39:58Speaker 3: twenty five other people, so he's gonna for free. But
- 40:01Speaker 3: he loves the fool so much. He goes back and
- 40:03Speaker 3: he tells his whole neighborhood, his whole block about the food. Now,
- 40:07Speaker 3: fifteen people that he told come in now they're pain.
- 40:11Speaker 4: It's worth it.
- 40:12Speaker 3: And I think that, you know, for entrepreneurs, like I said,
- 40:14Speaker 3: that's a valuable lesson just for entrepreneurs in general.
- 40:17Speaker 7: It's never Yeah, I found that, you know, a lot
- 40:21Speaker 7: of stuff I started doing before we are bigger. Now
- 40:25Speaker 7: I was just doing it, you know, under my old company,
- 40:28Speaker 7: neuro Fitness Center. I was following Lulu Women's model, you know,
- 40:33Speaker 7: which is you know their ambassador program.
- 40:35Speaker 6: They you know, they're arming.
- 40:36Speaker 7: All their yoga these yoga teachers with they're clothing. You know,
- 40:40Speaker 7: That's how Lulu Lemon really got to that place that
- 40:43Speaker 7: they are is through a really strong ambassador program.
- 40:47Speaker 5: Yeah, you're the leader of this mental health gym space. Right,
- 40:51Speaker 5: So I'm thinking and even you said, Charlamagne searched it,
- 40:54Speaker 5: have you seen anybody try to create it or replicate
- 40:57Speaker 5: it or come into the space.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Are you seeing more people doing that?
- 41:00Speaker 7: I mean people will come into the space and again,
- 41:03Speaker 7: like I said, they'll put a bunch of technologies under
- 41:06Speaker 7: one roof and then they'll hear me get on a podcast.
- 41:09Speaker 7: Like I did a podcast with a guy who had
- 41:11Speaker 7: a floating podcast just for floating, and I came on
- 41:14Speaker 7: in and I started talking about everything. I'm talking about trauma,
- 41:17Speaker 7: fight or flight response, all these different things, and he said, wow,
- 41:21Speaker 7: we never heard of that before. So I'm like, so
- 41:23Speaker 7: what are y'all doing? Like, what are you doing with
- 41:28Speaker 7: the tools?
- 41:28Speaker 6: You don't you don't even know.
- 41:30Speaker 7: It's like it's like a you know, you give a
- 41:32Speaker 7: baby grand piano to anybody, but that don't mean they're
- 41:34Speaker 7: gonna get on there and play it right.
- 41:37Speaker 6: For me, the brand and the philosophy is what inception is.
- 41:41Speaker 7: Not so much we put all these tool us under
- 41:45Speaker 7: one building, because I have I've had more tools at
- 41:49Speaker 7: one point and pulled them out because they didn't fit
- 41:53Speaker 7: the rhyme or reason. So I'm kind of ahead of
- 41:56Speaker 7: understanding how the pieces work and why they work.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Yeah, the brand ambassador once thing. I just want to
- 42:02Speaker 3: go back to that because that made me think of
- 42:03Speaker 3: another interview that we did. We interviewed Nick Storm shout
- 42:06Speaker 3: out to him and he was like the driving force
- 42:07Speaker 3: behind Sarak and Hypnotic as well, And especially when the
- 42:11Speaker 3: Sarak he was saying, like, you know, people might not know,
- 42:14Speaker 3: but the reason Saraq really blew up is not Diddy.
- 42:17Speaker 3: It was actually the ambassador program with DJs. And they
- 42:20Speaker 3: had DJs from all over the country from New York
- 42:23Speaker 3: to Atlanta to and and they they really they focused
- 42:27Speaker 3: on the DJs because they understood that the DJs was
- 42:29Speaker 3: in the nightclubs where people buying bottles in the nightclubs.
- 42:32Speaker 3: So if they that's when they started with the Sarraq boys.
- 42:35Speaker 3: And he was telling us the whole play behind the
- 42:37Speaker 3: ambassador program. And when you told me that, I just
- 42:39Speaker 3: realized that, you know, a lot of times we hear
- 42:41Speaker 3: stuff on such a high level like that Saraq Ambassador program,
- 42:44Speaker 3: but it's like you could really implement any kind of
- 42:46Speaker 3: business strategy, whether it's a big or small level, and.
- 42:49Speaker 7: It's like strategy when it was mean by myself work you.
- 42:54Speaker 4: Know, Yeah, it's all about creativity.
- 42:56Speaker 6: Wait until you get to a certain level to implement
- 42:58Speaker 6: something like that.
- 42:59Speaker 4: Yeah, that's dope.
- 43:00Speaker 3: So as far as like on a mental health conversation,
- 43:03Speaker 3: because like I said, I mean, I think that it's
- 43:06Speaker 3: not talked about it enough as far as the stress
- 43:09Speaker 3: the entrepreneurs might face. And I'm sure there's a lot
- 43:11Speaker 3: of people that listen to this podcast that are entrepreneurs
- 43:13Speaker 3: and business people. Can you talk about that because it's
- 43:16Speaker 3: a unique set of you as an entrepreneur. I'm sure
- 43:18Speaker 3: you probably know yourself right, like even going through this
- 43:20Speaker 3: coronavirus and not being able to open up your business,
- 43:22Speaker 3: like the financial demands and and just a different stress level.
- 43:26Speaker 3: You don't work a nine to five job. If you're
- 43:28Speaker 3: an entrepreneur, you never get off. You're always thinking about
- 43:30Speaker 3: your business two o'clock in the morning. That can that
- 43:32Speaker 3: can that can cause divorces, That can cause you not
- 43:35Speaker 3: spending enough time with your children. You can cause you
- 43:37Speaker 3: all kinds of mental stress. So I think that that's
- 43:39Speaker 3: something that we haven't spoken about as well. So I
- 43:42Speaker 3: want to talk about that because that's there's always a
- 43:44Speaker 3: flip side to everything and the flip side of being
- 43:46Speaker 3: entrepreneurs are the mental. So how can people mentally, you know,
- 43:51Speaker 3: get themselves in a good space? And can you talk
- 43:52Speaker 3: about some of the mental stresses and pressures that entrepreneurs
- 43:55Speaker 3: may face.
- 43:56Speaker 7: I mean you said it like it's it's a daily,
- 44:00Speaker 7: daily thought process. And specifically when you start taking on
- 44:05Speaker 7: when I started taking on employees and my rent quadruple.
- 44:10Speaker 6: You know, you know, you got a bigger nut.
- 44:14Speaker 7: To crack before you can break even, right, So that
- 44:18Speaker 7: day to day stress or monthly stress, because.
- 44:21Speaker 6: Really around the beginning of the month.
- 44:24Speaker 7: Everybody's stressed, right, specifically business owners. And and I realized
- 44:30Speaker 7: that because I was doing probably about twenty years ago,
- 44:33Speaker 7: I was doing what do they call factory where we
- 44:39Speaker 7: take invoices and pay on those invoices, where I learned
- 44:42Speaker 7: at that point in time that the average business is
- 44:45Speaker 7: literally at that point was like six weeks from going
- 44:48Speaker 7: out of business, you know, based on their cash flow.
- 44:52Speaker 7: So this is something that it's like, it's not just
- 44:56Speaker 7: it's not just you know a few people, it's all
- 44:59Speaker 7: of us who you know, the business world. We have
- 45:01Speaker 7: these mental these stressors going on. If I didn't if
- 45:04Speaker 7: I didn't do my own stuff, dude, I would have
- 45:07Speaker 7: been gone, Like, there's no way I could have been overcome.
- 45:11Speaker 6: I was building.
- 45:12Speaker 7: I was going through a lawsuit, still running the location,
- 45:17Speaker 7: still running another location, and building inception all at the
- 45:21Speaker 7: same time while going through a lawsuit. And I spent
- 45:26Speaker 7: a lot of time brain training. I spent a lot
- 45:28Speaker 7: of time using my tools, because again, when you're going
- 45:31Speaker 7: through stuff like that, and you especially be a lawsuit
- 45:34Speaker 7: and you get these what to call interrogatories and things
- 45:37Speaker 7: of that nature, they send you stuff and they tell
- 45:39Speaker 7: you the worst thing about yourself, right, and you just fired.
- 45:42Speaker 6: Up, like what he said?
- 45:43Speaker 7: What? Like you? You know, they keep doing that and
- 45:46Speaker 7: still be trying to build a business, and then the
- 45:49Speaker 7: businesses aren't necessarily where they need to be. And I
- 45:52Speaker 7: got to pump in cash flow for both both businesses.
- 45:55Speaker 7: I mean that that's very stressful. But you have to
- 45:59Speaker 7: find some type of outlet that's outside of your business.
- 46:03Speaker 7: And that's something I did in twenty seventeen. I actually started.
- 46:07Speaker 7: I got with a guy and I wanted to learn
- 46:10Speaker 7: it earlier.
- 46:11Speaker 6: I started saucer dancing and that I would go once.
- 46:14Speaker 7: A week to my homie who's from New Orleans who's
- 46:18Speaker 7: like one of the best Cuban saus of dancers in
- 46:21Speaker 7: the world, black guy named Dwayne Rin, and I would
- 46:25Speaker 7: I would have that mental space and now one hour
- 46:28Speaker 7: with him, you know, once a week, and then I
- 46:30Speaker 7: would go out and I would dance. It gave me
- 46:32Speaker 7: ability to get back into some type of community where
- 46:35Speaker 7: people didn't know me as like you're the business owner,
- 46:38Speaker 7: you didn't see that, Like I need to be able
- 46:40Speaker 7: to just go and focus on something that's totally outside
- 46:43Speaker 7: of my business. And that's one of the things that
- 46:45Speaker 7: helped me. And just community too. You need people around you.
- 46:50Speaker 6: You can't be if you're out here and you're a
- 46:51Speaker 6: lone soldier, I mean, entrepreneur. Suicide is really high.
- 46:57Speaker 7: People don't know about that, you know, because again specifically, now,
- 47:01Speaker 7: I'm fortunate in the sense of I guess some people
- 47:04Speaker 7: are thinking fortunate, not fortunate, but I'm single. I don't
- 47:07Speaker 7: I don't have a family, Like that's how I'm able
- 47:09Speaker 7: to go through this, because there's no way I would
- 47:11Speaker 7: take a wife and kids through what I'm going through
- 47:14Speaker 7: right now. And people do and I'm like, I commend you.
- 47:17Speaker 7: I don't even know how you do that, because there's
- 47:19Speaker 7: no way I would be able to do that. So
- 47:21Speaker 7: if you're a single person and an entrepreneur, you definitely
- 47:25Speaker 7: have to surround yourself with strong people. And I never
- 47:30Speaker 7: really had the business people, you know, you know how
- 47:33Speaker 7: you want to find mentors and people who are doing
- 47:35Speaker 7: great business.
- 47:36Speaker 6: I never really had that.
- 47:37Speaker 7: I've been doing this kind of all on my own
- 47:41Speaker 7: the last thirteen years, and here and there, I'll get
- 47:44Speaker 7: plugged in with little people here and there.
- 47:46Speaker 6: But I think it's important.
- 47:47Speaker 7: To find community to do something outside of your business,
- 47:51Speaker 7: and find community to people who are doing things bigger
- 47:54Speaker 7: than you.
- 47:56Speaker 5: As you were speaking, I started thinking about you know,
- 47:58Speaker 5: you said the rent and your employees start thinking about
- 48:00Speaker 5: the expenses to actually have this gym, because I know,
- 48:03Speaker 5: the machinery is pretty expensive, right, you got the magnosphere,
- 48:07Speaker 5: and you got the infrared sauna, and you got the
- 48:09Speaker 5: rotation they.
- 48:11Speaker 2: And it's fifty grand, one piece of which one is that.
- 48:14Speaker 7: The magnosphere is fifty thousand dollars a long.
- 48:16Speaker 5: Yeah, So are these part of monthly expenses or I mean,
- 48:19Speaker 5: do they become self sufficient after you've you've got them
- 48:22Speaker 5: in the upper.
- 48:22Speaker 7: Course, The whole thing about it is this model that
- 48:25Speaker 7: we have is that the overhead is relatively low when
- 48:29Speaker 7: you compare it to someone like like a massage envy
- 48:33Speaker 7: because it only takes one employee to run my whole
- 48:35Speaker 7: facility for the whole day, which.
- 48:39Speaker 6: Is great, right, your massage MV.
- 48:42Speaker 7: You got what twenty people on staff at once? You
- 48:45Speaker 7: should see their payroll and then and then, like the
- 48:48Speaker 7: magnet sphere and the floating they give me an attitude
- 48:51Speaker 7: a little here and there, but they always show up.
- 48:54Speaker 6: For the most part.
- 48:54Speaker 7: You know, you know all these employees and you got
- 49:00Speaker 7: employees in because again I come from the mental emotional world.
- 49:05Speaker 7: Most people always bring their stuff into business, right, that's
- 49:09Speaker 7: what's happening in business. Your employees bring their mental emotional
- 49:12Speaker 7: stuff into it. So I understand the point where a
- 49:14Speaker 7: lot of employees, a lot of employers try to get
- 49:17Speaker 7: away from having employees because they don't want to deal
- 49:19Speaker 7: with a lot of the stuff. It's not necessarily just
- 49:23Speaker 7: greed by itself. It's so and so didn't show up
- 49:27Speaker 7: to work. Now I got to find somebody to replace them,
- 49:30Speaker 7: and things of that nature. So my business is how
- 49:33Speaker 7: it's set up. It's it's set up pretty good. You know,
- 49:36Speaker 7: and that's that's one thing that I think that investors
- 49:40Speaker 7: really look into, you know, because of the profit margins
- 49:44Speaker 7: are higher because again you don't have all this overhead
- 49:49Speaker 7: all right.
- 49:49Speaker 3: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. So on the
- 49:51Speaker 3: last secondent, we're going to bring it home, all right,
- 49:54Speaker 3: So yeah, we all bring it home. But you know,
- 49:56Speaker 3: I have a few questions. So you know, we get
- 50:00Speaker 3: different people's take on, like how they weather in the storm,
- 50:03Speaker 3: you know, being that corona is something that not only
- 50:05Speaker 3: is affecting you know, people's health, but people with the economy,
- 50:09Speaker 3: the economy as a whole. Right, So you as a
- 50:11Speaker 3: small business owner and it is pretty much like shut
- 50:14Speaker 3: down your operation? Do you do you have a contingency
- 50:18Speaker 3: plan in place moving forward? Like if this, if this continues,
- 50:20Speaker 3: if social distance continues for a long period of time,
- 50:24Speaker 3: like what's your plan or how has how have you
- 50:27Speaker 3: adapted or how how are you planning on adapting? Because
- 50:30Speaker 3: that's another thing of business too. It's like it's like
- 50:32Speaker 3: an audible in football, like you you have a game plan,
- 50:36Speaker 3: but they might just blitz and you have to be
- 50:38Speaker 3: able to adapt on the fly. Or it's just the
- 50:41Speaker 3: business isn't gonna make it. That's true in any business,
- 50:43Speaker 3: you never you can never predict the unpredictable. So yeah,
- 50:46Speaker 3: how are you coping and what's your game plan moving forward?
- 50:50Speaker 7: Well, first of all, coping, I mean that first couple
- 50:52Speaker 7: of weeks, probably first two.
- 50:54Speaker 6: To three weeks, it was rough. You know, you know, no,
- 50:57Speaker 6: just now, just this, it's hard. Stop.
- 51:01Speaker 7: That's very traumatic and Impactrick Again what I say about trauma,
- 51:05Speaker 7: anything that's overwhelming to your nervous system. So going from
- 51:09Speaker 7: zero to one hundred real quick, it's real dramatic, you know.
- 51:13Speaker 7: So for me, I have to understand what pattern I
- 51:16Speaker 7: was in. I know, I felt I was in a
- 51:17Speaker 7: freeze response, and I just I just like chilled out.
- 51:22Speaker 6: Man.
- 51:22Speaker 7: At first, I saw a lot of stuff coming through,
- 51:24Speaker 7: every conspiracy you can think of, and then everybody dying.
- 51:28Speaker 7: But I got to a good place where I just
- 51:31Speaker 7: shut all the noise out and then focused on a
- 51:35Speaker 7: couple of things, which is I'm fine, Like because my
- 51:38Speaker 7: business is closed right now. Guess what, I don't have
- 51:41Speaker 7: to pay bills, you know, I'm not paying my rent.
- 51:45Speaker 7: So really, for me, it was like more of a
- 51:48Speaker 7: relief than it was for a you know, something being
- 51:53Speaker 7: bad for me actually, So I feel like for myself
- 51:56Speaker 7: and our team, we're going to come out of this
- 51:58Speaker 7: better than we went into it. But in terms of
- 52:01Speaker 7: like the audible is I again information technology.
- 52:05Speaker 6: That's my background, man.
- 52:06Speaker 7: I've been around affiliate marketing and you know, just marketing
- 52:11Speaker 7: on the internet for a bit, and I understand that.
- 52:15Speaker 6: Everything is really going well based and so.
- 52:21Speaker 7: One of the things that we had already been working
- 52:23Speaker 7: doing how it planned out, was you know, a software software.
- 52:27Speaker 7: We want to develop an educational platform because again, all
- 52:32Speaker 7: these people here to turn mental health, but they don't
- 52:35Speaker 7: know understand why.
- 52:38Speaker 6: And so I want to take and make that into.
- 52:40Speaker 2: A very.
- 52:44Speaker 7: I want to call it acceptable way of learning about
- 52:47Speaker 7: it and understanding it, a more pleasing way to do
- 52:50Speaker 7: it versus again, Okay, talk to your mental health professional,
- 52:55Speaker 7: and you know they always talk about the suicide hotline. Again,
- 52:59Speaker 7: we always go to these real extremes as if that's
- 53:02Speaker 7: the whole population. That is a small part of the population.
- 53:07Speaker 7: It's the masses that's.
- 53:08Speaker 6: Dealing with it.
- 53:09Speaker 7: And these these small parts of the population are just
- 53:13Speaker 7: the the symptoms of the mass issue. So I want
- 53:17Speaker 7: to be able to educate people through our platform and
- 53:20Speaker 7: do courses and again it's a it's a piece of
- 53:23Speaker 7: software that I've been looking to develop for the last
- 53:26Speaker 7: three years. So these are some of the things that
- 53:30Speaker 7: we're going to be putting in place. And that's kind
- 53:32Speaker 7: of what we're working on right now. Uh and and
- 53:34Speaker 7: and hopes that we're able to open up at some
- 53:37Speaker 7: point and they and it really goes hand in.
- 53:39Speaker 6: Hand with both. Again we call it, we call it.
- 53:42Speaker 7: The three e's education experience education. So the experience is
- 53:47Speaker 7: going to the center, but the education is is sandwiching
- 53:51Speaker 7: that because you need to know why you're coming. Then
- 53:54Speaker 7: you come, then you need to know now what what
- 53:57Speaker 7: I do?
- 53:57Speaker 6: What do I do after everything? And so that's that's
- 54:01Speaker 6: that's all the things that we're working on right now.
- 54:03Speaker 5: So do you guys have plans to scale the business
- 54:06Speaker 5: and and and put it in other cities. I know
- 54:08Speaker 5: you're in Detroit. I think I saw you in California
- 54:11Speaker 5: as well, the other places you want to go.
- 54:13Speaker 7: We have a pop up location in LA and we
- 54:16Speaker 7: actually are working on another location to be to be
- 54:20Speaker 7: determined to be announced.
- 54:22Speaker 6: We were working on it and then it just like
- 54:25Speaker 6: everything stops.
- 54:26Speaker 7: So so yeah, that's the goal is to do franchising
- 54:31Speaker 7: and again not to have it though where it's just
- 54:33Speaker 7: all built on brick and mortar, Like you have to
- 54:37Speaker 7: have a connection to the two. You know, we saw
- 54:39Speaker 7: what happened with Toys r US and I and I
- 54:42Speaker 7: agree with Gary v on that they could have had
- 54:45Speaker 7: that that exponential center of Toys r US could have
- 54:48Speaker 7: been the thing you go in and it's just been
- 54:50Speaker 7: you know, amazing time without having to it just be
- 54:53Speaker 7: about going pick up toys and leave, like you have
- 54:56Speaker 7: to Inception really is going to be not just the
- 54:58Speaker 7: center for coming services.
- 55:01Speaker 6: It's community is understanding.
- 55:03Speaker 7: So having that community and then wrapping it up with
- 55:05Speaker 7: the education is what we're what we're what we're doing.
- 55:09Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree.
- 55:10Speaker 3: I always he all the time if you don't have
- 55:11Speaker 3: a business, if you're a business, I always say it
- 55:13Speaker 3: the time, like brick and mortar isn't dead, but if
- 55:17Speaker 3: your business doesn't have a way to make money online,
- 55:20Speaker 3: you don't have a business. And this only accelerates that
- 55:23Speaker 3: at this point because it's like it's hard enough to
- 55:25Speaker 3: run a business, let alone with all the variables that
- 55:28Speaker 3: come with just having to operate brick and mortar. Like
- 55:31Speaker 3: you have to have some kind of system in place,
- 55:33Speaker 3: whether it's an app, whether it's social media, whether it's
- 55:36Speaker 3: a website, like, you have to have some kind of
- 55:38Speaker 3: virtual system in place. And so yeah, it's encouraging to
- 55:42Speaker 3: hear you say that, because, yeah, well information.
- 55:44Speaker 6: Is the new commodity.
- 55:45Speaker 7: Rights, it's the most valuable resource at this point.
- 55:50Speaker 6: Content.
- 55:51Speaker 7: So Disney Disney was smart. They want have bought up
- 55:55Speaker 7: all the content, you know. So Disney World is like, yeah,
- 55:59Speaker 7: you know, it's cool, but their content is what you know,
- 56:03Speaker 7: you can put out one movie and you're making a
- 56:04Speaker 7: billion dollars, right.
- 56:06Speaker 6: So I look at it from that standpoint.
- 56:09Speaker 7: I also look at it too, from the McDonald's standpoint
- 56:12Speaker 7: in terms of you know, doing breaking mortar and owning
- 56:16Speaker 7: a real estate. You know, Supersize Me came out and
- 56:20Speaker 7: everybody thought like, oh my god, that's gonna kill McDonald's.
- 56:23Speaker 7: McDonald's like we own all of real estate.
- 56:25Speaker 6: Yeah, that's not killing.
- 56:28Speaker 4: The found The founders.
- 56:30Speaker 3: The founders they said, like, you know, when Ray Kroc
- 56:33Speaker 3: he realized he was like, McDonald's isn't isn't a food company,
- 56:35Speaker 3: it's a real estate company. And when when they realized that,
- 56:38Speaker 3: that just changed the whole direction of the company.
- 56:41Speaker 7: Right, recognizing what business that you're in. So I think
- 56:45Speaker 7: that for us, you know, we have that understanding for sure.
- 56:49Speaker 3: So if I'm just coming off the street and you know,
- 56:52Speaker 3: I've never been to any mental help facility anything like that,
- 56:56Speaker 3: and you know, I might be something from anxiety or
- 56:59Speaker 3: you know, some kind of issue and I want help, right,
- 57:02Speaker 3: can you walk me through the process? Like do I
- 57:04Speaker 3: just walk in through the center? Do I get evaluated?
- 57:07Speaker 3: How do I know which which program works best?
- 57:09Speaker 2: Like?
- 57:09Speaker 4: Can you walk me through?
- 57:12Speaker 7: So that's a that's that's a great question, and we
- 57:16Speaker 7: very we simplify that, you know, to the point where
- 57:19Speaker 7: you don't have to come in and understand.
- 57:21Speaker 6: You know what you need to do, and you're going
- 57:25Speaker 6: to come in.
- 57:25Speaker 7: You may have anxiety, you may have depression, you may
- 57:28Speaker 7: have insomnia, you may have all these different symptoms. But
- 57:32Speaker 7: we have the philosophy of psychological injury versus chemical imbalance.
- 57:37Speaker 7: You've aught all heard of chemical imbalance, right, You've got
- 57:40Speaker 7: a chemical imbalance in your brain, but that actually has
- 57:43Speaker 7: there's no peer review study that can ever show you
- 57:46Speaker 7: that there's any such thing as a as a chemical imbalance,
- 57:51Speaker 7: because when you get diagnosed with dipression. Depression, Okay, great,
- 57:55Speaker 7: how do they diagnose you based on a battery of questions?
- 57:58Speaker 7: And that's how they do all die No season, they're
- 58:01Speaker 7: going to give you a chemical drug to alter that
- 58:04Speaker 7: that imbalance, right, But they never once look at your brain.
- 58:09Speaker 6: If you break your arm, you expect them to do
- 58:11Speaker 6: what take an X ray?
- 58:13Speaker 7: What break is with your brain chemistry? They never look
- 58:17Speaker 7: at it. It's all based on DSM five Diagnostic Manual
- 58:21Speaker 7: where they're gonna they're gonna basically look and see the
- 58:25Speaker 7: symptoms you have and say, okay, you got this based
- 58:27Speaker 7: on what you told us, right, So for us, we
- 58:30Speaker 7: don't we don't.
- 58:31Speaker 6: We don't look at it from that.
- 58:32Speaker 7: We look at it from the again a psychological injury
- 58:34Speaker 7: trauma trauma model.
- 58:36Speaker 6: We're understanding that your system is not.
- 58:38Speaker 7: In a disorder, it's just overwhelmed by trying to protect you,
- 58:43Speaker 7: and all of our tools that we have help your
- 58:46Speaker 7: brain and your body to come out of that state
- 58:48Speaker 7: of protection.
- 58:49Speaker 6: So it doesn't matter who comes.
- 58:50Speaker 7: In with what you know X y Z. We know
- 58:54Speaker 7: our tools are going to help you on a human
- 58:57Speaker 7: humanistic level and dealing with your rain in your body
- 59:00Speaker 7: so you can come in off the street, you know,
- 59:02Speaker 7: walk right in and say hey, you know, I'm interested
- 59:05Speaker 7: in starting, and we're going to start everybody at the
- 59:08Speaker 7: same point no matter what, because we know this is
- 59:11Speaker 7: what this is what you need.
- 59:13Speaker 6: Now.
- 59:14Speaker 7: Now some of the services may switch a little bit,
- 59:17Speaker 7: like I'm not putting a two year old in the
- 59:19Speaker 7: float tank right so, but so we can alter things
- 59:24Speaker 7: a little bit, especially with black people.
- 59:27Speaker 6: You know, we got fear of water.
- 59:28Speaker 7: A lot of us don't want to get in the water,
- 59:31Speaker 7: and so we so we again we alter things a
- 59:33Speaker 7: little bit to make it to fit you. We're not
- 59:35Speaker 7: going to have you do something that that you're scared
- 59:38Speaker 7: of because you're in there because.
- 59:40Speaker 6: Of fear to begin with, lack of safety.
- 59:44Speaker 7: So again, everybody who comes in pretty much kind of
- 59:48Speaker 7: go through the same gamut with minor alterations.
- 59:51Speaker 6: And too, you have a choice.
- 59:52Speaker 7: You have a choice in saying the matter yourself. You
- 59:55Speaker 7: know what you want to start off with. We just
- 59:57Speaker 7: make recommendations and what we know is best.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: Can can you walk us through a circuit.
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: I'm really interested in the full body reset because there's
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: a lot of.
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: Stuff in there.
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: I was like, wow, I never thought about that that's
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: really interesting. Can you can you highlight that for.
- 1:00:09Speaker 6: SECH which one a total body reset.
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: Yeah, totally the detail, Yeah, the total value. You do
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: the infrared sona and you end at the halo therapy.
- 1:00:18Speaker 7: So so again when we look at when we look
- 1:00:22Speaker 7: at mental health, we always look at it from a
- 1:00:24Speaker 7: psychological aspect, but we never look at it from you know,
- 1:00:27Speaker 7: everything else. It's your environment dictates your mental health. But
- 1:00:31Speaker 7: it's different things in your environment. One is air and
- 1:00:35Speaker 7: your air quality, so you got modes and mildews and
- 1:00:39Speaker 7: toxins that you breathe in where that affects your brain
- 1:00:42Speaker 7: chemistry as well, that affects your mood.
- 1:00:44Speaker 6: So the halo therapy.
- 1:00:46Speaker 7: Actually goes down into the lungs and begins to detoxify
- 1:00:49Speaker 7: that the nasal pathway.
- 1:00:50Speaker 6: And the lung pathway, so.
- 1:00:53Speaker 7: People of like asthma and any type of you know,
- 1:00:57Speaker 7: bronchial issue, it begins to clear that out. So that's
- 1:01:00Speaker 7: one of our first technologies for the detox track, and
- 1:01:04Speaker 7: then the other one. The other two is the infrared
- 1:01:07Speaker 7: and then the manual lymphatic drain suit. So actually what
- 1:01:12Speaker 7: it's doing is your lymph system is the is the
- 1:01:15Speaker 7: main detoxifying system in your body that.
- 1:01:17Speaker 6: Gets rid of waste.
- 1:01:19Speaker 7: So when people say I'm going on the detox it's like, yeah,
- 1:01:23Speaker 7: you've been detoxic every day your detoxing right now. Your
- 1:01:26Speaker 7: whole body is constantly detoxic. So what you're what you're
- 1:01:29Speaker 7: really saying is I'm going to intentionally support my lymphatic
- 1:01:35Speaker 7: system in the detoxification process. So when you're drinking alcohol,
- 1:01:39Speaker 7: guess what, You're not supporting your your lymphatic system. When
- 1:01:44Speaker 7: you're eating donuts, you're not supporting it. But maybe if
- 1:01:47Speaker 7: I do again, when you do the infrared sauna, now
- 1:01:51Speaker 7: that the tissues heat up from the inside out, it
- 1:01:54Speaker 7: is not like your traditional sauna where heats the ambient.
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: Air around you thought was amazing.
- 1:01:59Speaker 6: The or temperature.
- 1:02:00Speaker 7: So heavy metal detox You know, all of us got
- 1:02:04Speaker 7: heavy metals in our body because so we talked about air.
- 1:02:07Speaker 7: Talk about water. Water is going to become a really
- 1:02:11Speaker 7: big deal. Is our waters are all polluted if we
- 1:02:15Speaker 7: don't know pharmaceutical drugs, microtoxins from the plastics, soaps, that's.
- 1:02:22Speaker 6: All in your water.
- 1:02:23Speaker 7: And all of those are intricate disruptors, hormone disruptors.
- 1:02:28Speaker 6: There was.
- 1:02:30Speaker 7: A feature on I think it was NBC Nightline with
- 1:02:32Speaker 7: a show they were dumping this into the water, these
- 1:02:36Speaker 7: contaminants and the fish in the water start having the
- 1:02:39Speaker 7: male fish start having feminine traits, they start switching over.
- 1:02:44Speaker 7: So you can actually alter our DNA through toxicity. So
- 1:02:49Speaker 7: think about that on your mental emotional state of being.
- 1:02:53Speaker 7: So all of those three surfaces are working on that
- 1:02:55Speaker 7: lymphatic system to help you to plush through all of that,
- 1:02:59Speaker 7: all those toxins that the toxic burden that is up against.
- 1:03:03Speaker 7: So you're not just dealing with a mental emotional issue
- 1:03:06Speaker 7: from the environment in terms of lack of safety. You're
- 1:03:09Speaker 7: dealing with it from lack of cleanliness in the environment,
- 1:03:13Speaker 7: and your body has to has to basically continually take
- 1:03:17Speaker 7: that onslot on and get rid of that toxins. So
- 1:03:21Speaker 7: both of those circuits are helping supporting those systems in
- 1:03:25Speaker 7: your body to come to a moral level of homeostasis
- 1:03:29Speaker 7: or you know, lighten the load.
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: So how often do you see clients? Is it? Do
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: they come once a week, twice a week, once a month?
- 1:03:36Speaker 6: How people?
- 1:03:37Speaker 7: Okay, every clients who come every day?
- 1:03:41Speaker 6: Like you can't overdo it.
- 1:03:43Speaker 7: Once we understand that our environment is this is what's
- 1:03:49Speaker 7: causing this is epigenetic. This is what's causing us to
- 1:03:52Speaker 7: be in these states that we're in. Hair loss, Uh,
- 1:03:55Speaker 7: you know, you know people having issues with giving birth. Uh,
- 1:03:59Speaker 7: you know, strokes and heart attacks, all that stress and
- 1:04:03Speaker 7: trauma related because the environment is so sick. The environment
- 1:04:07Speaker 7: is so sick again because you're told that go go go, go, go,
- 1:04:11Speaker 7: go go.
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: But get sleep.
- 1:04:13Speaker 7: Sleep is the cause of you know, sleep, I sleep
- 1:04:16Speaker 7: when I die, you know that type of thing. And
- 1:04:18Speaker 7: it's like were talking about like one night of men's
- 1:04:21Speaker 7: sleep and you're like basically someone who drank alcohol. Like
- 1:04:25Speaker 7: that's that's the results of that. Like, recovery is like
- 1:04:29Speaker 7: very important, and we're becoming smarter in terms of being
- 1:04:33Speaker 7: able to observe things like I wear a wearable.
- 1:04:36Speaker 6: What is the wearable?
- 1:04:36Speaker 7: Dude?
- 1:04:37Speaker 6: The wearable?
- 1:04:37Speaker 7: Just give me information and understanding how my system is
- 1:04:40Speaker 7: working so I can make educated decisions.
- 1:04:44Speaker 6: But we need to move away.
- 1:04:46Speaker 7: From out of side is out of mind, and that's
- 1:04:47Speaker 7: how we've been working. You know, out of side is
- 1:04:50Speaker 7: out of mind. Next you know, I'm having panic attacks
- 1:04:53Speaker 7: and breaking down. Why because I didn't take care of
- 1:04:56Speaker 7: all the signs and symptoms that were showing up in
- 1:04:59Speaker 7: my body.
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: Got it? Got it? That's powerful.
- 1:05:03Speaker 6: Give me a fool of stuff, man, Yeah, it's a lot.
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: That's a lot.
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: And like I said, something that I don't think that
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: we're not even aware of like that, you know, like
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: you said, the water that we drink, the food that
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: we eat, the relationships that we all of that stuff
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: plays apart in your mental well being. And it's like
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: so many times in so much toxic put we put
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: so much toxics in our body, We listen to so
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: much toxic music, we watch toxic TV, We're in toxic relationships,
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: and then we wonder why our lives in shambloo.
- 1:05:34Speaker 7: I wonder why, why why all the bad things keep
- 1:05:37Speaker 7: happening to me? Because you put all the bad things
- 1:05:39Speaker 7: in your body and in your life. It's like you've
- 1:05:42Speaker 7: got to move away from that. And I think, as
- 1:05:44Speaker 7: being a business person, the best thing I could have
- 1:05:46Speaker 7: ever done is use all the tools and doing what
- 1:05:49Speaker 7: I'm doing and keep up.
- 1:05:50Speaker 6: You know, I used to think.
- 1:05:51Speaker 7: I used to think it's funny when I saw a
- 1:05:53Speaker 7: bunch of people like how many supplements you take in
- 1:05:55Speaker 7: and things of that nature, And when you start understanding
- 1:05:57Speaker 7: why people are doing things our white counterparts, specifically in
- 1:06:02Speaker 7: the Silicon Valley. You know, I can tell you about
- 1:06:04Speaker 7: some stuff that they're doing health wise in terms of
- 1:06:07Speaker 7: biohacking that black people we are like behind. Man, Like
- 1:06:11Speaker 7: Charlemagne told me you twenty years ahead. I said, bro,
- 1:06:13Speaker 7: we twenty years behind.
- 1:06:14Speaker 4: So like, what are they doing? What are they doing
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: bio hacking? What does that mean?
- 1:06:18Speaker 7: Microdosing on psychedelics Psilocybin LSD the Multi Association of Psychedelic Studies.
- 1:06:27Speaker 7: It's shown like specifically with psilocybin, it basically diminishes your
- 1:06:32Speaker 7: whole fear center. So they did a study where they
- 1:06:35Speaker 7: showed that people who had cancer, they gave them doses
- 1:06:38Speaker 7: up psilocybin, fear of depth gone because the psilocybin is
- 1:06:43Speaker 7: showing that it actually activates multiple pathways in the brain.
- 1:06:47Speaker 7: But see, we've been already conditioned about stuff like specifically
- 1:06:51Speaker 7: black people. Anything that's outside of our understanding is of
- 1:06:54Speaker 7: the devil. You know, what's that the devil? It's like, no, really,
- 1:06:59Speaker 7: it's a it's it's science, and you have to understand
- 1:07:03Speaker 7: what that science is doing. So they Silicon Valley, those
- 1:07:06Speaker 7: guys out there, the CEOs and stuff. Man, they microdocing
- 1:07:09Speaker 7: on stuff.
- 1:07:10Speaker 6: Why do you think, how do you think people coming
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: up with this stuff? You know, they're not just sitting
- 1:07:14Speaker 6: down and just just just popping in the head.
- 1:07:17Speaker 7: They altering states of consciousness and downloading things. That's what
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: meditation and the tools that we do. It gives you
- 1:07:23Speaker 7: a level of relaxation where you can.
- 1:07:25Speaker 6: Tap in more stuff. That's when your brain, when everything
- 1:07:30Speaker 6: is full.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: You know this sounds like the movie Inception.
- 1:07:34Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, and they're doing that. They're using a
- 1:07:37Speaker 7: lot of a lot of the tools that I'm using.
- 1:07:39Speaker 7: Dave Aspree he's one of the he's the Bulletproof executive.
- 1:07:42Speaker 7: He has a place out there in California, and we
- 1:07:46Speaker 7: were kind of neck and necking what we were doing
- 1:07:48Speaker 7: in terms of having similar tools. But you know, he's
- 1:07:50Speaker 7: a bullet he's a he was a Silicon Valley executive.
- 1:07:53Speaker 7: We can get way more money and funding get not good.
- 1:07:57Speaker 7: But I will say that his brand and what he's doing,
- 1:08:00Speaker 7: it's towards a lot of you know, executives who speak
- 1:08:03Speaker 7: a lot of language that you if you think I
- 1:08:06Speaker 7: sound like foreign to you, you should hear these guys
- 1:08:09Speaker 7: and what they're talking about. They're really gonna sound foreign
- 1:08:11Speaker 7: to you. So for me, it's like you do the
- 1:08:14Speaker 7: Bulletproof conference out there in California where you have all
- 1:08:17Speaker 7: these white people.
- 1:08:18Speaker 6: Come and they use a lot of tools that I use.
- 1:08:21Speaker 7: You're not one black person there, Like, because we were
- 1:08:25Speaker 7: not up on that. We don't understand that we need to,
- 1:08:29Speaker 7: you know, we get onto. I got Sea mass now
- 1:08:34Speaker 7: the one thing now, oh it's CBD. Now it's like,
- 1:08:38Speaker 7: what are y'all talking about?
- 1:08:39Speaker 6: I can probably got a list of one hundred.
- 1:08:42Speaker 7: Things that I can do, and you're talking about one
- 1:08:45Speaker 7: or two things. We piecemeal and we make it all
- 1:08:48Speaker 7: about you know, working out. I'm strong, and it's like
- 1:08:52Speaker 7: what about here? And it's not just about you know, succeeding.
- 1:08:55Speaker 7: It's about having the ability to be cooperative with people,
- 1:09:02Speaker 7: not being on the fence of like you guys, like
- 1:09:05Speaker 7: you guys are doing great. You guys, don't threaten me
- 1:09:07Speaker 7: about what you're doing. Like, I'm happy that you're doing
- 1:09:09Speaker 7: what you're doing. But I only can be happy about
- 1:09:12Speaker 7: that if I'm happy with myself. So you have a
- 1:09:16Speaker 7: lot of that jealousy that's been in our culture for
- 1:09:18Speaker 7: a long time because we we're not doing what we're
- 1:09:21Speaker 7: supposed to do with ourselves, and we're not.
- 1:09:23Speaker 6: We're not really walking in our purpose.
- 1:09:25Speaker 7: And I think by taking care of your mental emotional
- 1:09:28Speaker 7: health you get to that.
- 1:09:29Speaker 6: I know you get to that.
