  Speaker 1: Hey, when you get the chance, I do invite you
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: to visit Ero dot net A r r oe dot net.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Not just a podcast, it's several different podcasts, including all
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: level sports. I mean, it really is all level sports,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: not the typical baseball, basketball, football.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We recently spent some time with Russo from TNA, the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: ups and the downs, the twist, the spins, the real story,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and so much more, which includes even American gladiators and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: so much more, so much more, so much more. It
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: is the endless echo on all level sports, only on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Arrow dot net A r r oe dot net. Enjoy
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: your exploration. Good morning, how are you doing today? Ryan?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I'm beautiful and standing outside in Venice Beach, California, and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: it's perfect weather there and I'm grateful. How are you?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my god? I have been to Venice. I'm oh
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: my god. I've been there so many times. And the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: sense of freedom that comes through that entire Venice Beach area.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It's more than just bodybuilders out there showcasing their art.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: It is say lifestyle and it's freedom so true.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It's so. I grew up in Los Angeles and the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: thing that I always say is like, if not for
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Venice Beach or maybe Malibu. I would not be living
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. I love it over here.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: What is it about that area that does have that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: pool in that vibration. I've always thought it's because of
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the gold and the energy that gold has below the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: surface of the earth, because we have a lot of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: gold here in the Carolinas as well. And there's just
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: something about these two states that have a lot in
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: common when it comes to a spiritual connection to a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: lot of things.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, that is so interesting. I never thought about the
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: gold connection, but now you're going to send me into
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: deep research mode on my AI later today. So thank
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you for that. You know, I think California for all
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the flak that it gets, and certainly Los Angeles. You know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: one of my teachers says, like every trend starts in
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles, and then five years it moves across the country,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and then in ten years it moves across the world.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know, people have been attracted from
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the formation of Los Angeles. In the early nineteen hundreds,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: there was a family from the East Coast that found
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: this incredible weather here in Los Angeles and the beautiful
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: nature and said, what the heck are we doing on
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the East Coast in the wintertime, and so it's always
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: drawn you know, really interesting people and thinkers. And that's
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: what I love most about Venice Beach. It's like, not
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: only do you get the interesting people living in a
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: big city like Los Angeles, but you get the ones
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: who are interested in playing beach volleyball and going for
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a run on the sand and bringing their kids down
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to the ocean. And those are my people.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Do you think now that I want to stay on
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Venice Beach just for a second, because I've always believed,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and I know you're going to give me a true,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: heartfelt answer. I've always believed that when you drop the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: tourist from your name and why you're out in California,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that's when you become more connected spiritually with the universe
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: or even yourself. You've just got to stop being the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: tourist and enjoy everything that's being offered. It's more than
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: just that ferris wheel on that big old plank handed
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: out into the ocean.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That's so real. I mean, listen, now you're getting into
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: some deep metaphysical conversation. Dropping tourists, dropping any identity is
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: what's up so that you can be really present because
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the world, whether you're in Venice Beach, or you're in Shanghai,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: or you're in I don't know, down south somewhere. You know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: this world that we live in is so incredible. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it's just that we have these minds that label us
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: with these identities and give us these roles, and those
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: roles inform how we interact with other people and whether
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we're good enough to get their love, attention and admiration
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and acceptance, and that's all just noise in your mind, right,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And so dropping any label is really important so that
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you could be present to the miraculousness of the breath
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you're breathing right now, the water that you're being fed with,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: warmth from the sun in the sky. I think presence
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: is the key to a joyful, meaningful life. Yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: See, that's how I got real connected because I was
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in Santa Barbara and I came across Julia Cameron's The
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Artist Way, and I am I ever left that area
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that you California is so deep inside my soul. In fact,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: my daughter graduated from UCLA, so I mean it really
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: is a major part of my life.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I love that and the Artist Way. I recommend for
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: anyone listening that's wanting to feel more connected to yourself,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: connected to your creativity. If you feel like you've got
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: that thing in your soul that you've been wanting to
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: do but you've been too afraid to do it, the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Artist's Way is a beautiful journey to take the steps
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you need to take every day to connect with yourself,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: connect with your creativity, combat the fear, and take the action.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: One of the things that you covered, Ryan, that I
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: just found so inspiring is that suffering comes from when
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we forget who we are. Oh my God, that seems
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to be the big trend here in twenty twenty six.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: We're forgetting who we are.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, And I would say it's a trend right now
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: because the noise is loud. But it's been the trend
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: from the beginning of time, the moment we could say
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the Big Bang happened and physical universe started taking shape
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and growing to what it's become today. It's been rooted
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: in one thought, which is the thought that has at
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the source of all of your fear, which is I
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: am separate. I am something separate from God, from the universe,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: from the Earth. I exist within this skin and this
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: is what I am, and therefore I only have a
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: certain number of years to prove that I'm worthy enough
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to live a meaningful life, to get it all in
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: so that I can one day die feeling like I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: lived a happy, meaningful life. And that is the that's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the ego, that's the illusion, the belief that you are
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: something separate, and it's so loud, and it's so strong,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and it's so powerful. And you live on a planet
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: with some eight billion other people who believe the same thing,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and you have media outlets that are forcing you into
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: continue to believe that, so you'll buy more things, so
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you can feel better about who you are, so that you,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: one day in the future will finally be happy. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it goes on and on and on and on, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: many people in this life will live that way for
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: their entire you know, god willing eighty five or ninety years.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: But what I'm here to say, and that's why I
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: come out with the Waking Up with Ryan podcasts, is
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: who you really are is something so powerful and so
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: creative and so abundant and so loving and so rich
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and so miraculous. And you don't have to do a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: damn thing to become it. In fact, thinking you need
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to do more work on yourself to become something better
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: is the illusion that is pulling you away from who
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: you already are. You don't have to discover who you are.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: The discovering of it, the seeking of it is what
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: moves you away thinking you need to do work to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: become No, no, no, you need to rest back into
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: yourself to realize who you truly are. And if you're
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: hearing these words right now and is thinking they sound
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: like some bunch of mumbo jumbo, or maybe you're hearing
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it going kind of like, yeah, that kind of makes sense,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: but I don't really know what to do. I want
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to tell you that is the ego mind is trying
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to keep you away from who you already are. So
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I would ask you to ask yourself one question every
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: single day, which is who am I? Yes, and don't
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: have an answer to that question? Don't have an answer,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Just let yourself be in the experience. Who am I?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Who am I always? Who have I always been? What
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is always here?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: That's the very reason why I created a defragged journal
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and then turn it into a podcast. And iHeart is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that if we don't start asking ourselves the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: questions and then questioning the answers. Then then what you're
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be doing is walking in somebody else's tennis shoes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And I say I and I say there, and I'll
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: tell people that, get your own feet, back on your
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: own path and make it happen. And you've got it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And it starts with, like you said, who am I?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: You are so spot on, Ryan, mm.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Hmmm, that's it. It starts with who am I? And
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: it also starts with when you wake up in the morning,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the moment you open your eyes in the morning, that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: ego mind that we were just talking about, which is
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: coming from one core belief, which is that you are
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: something separate. It's this personality, your name, your role, is
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: your money, your job, all that stuff. You're I'm a husband,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'm a wife, I'm a man, I'm a woman, I'm
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a dad. The moment you open your eyes in the morning,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that ego mind is trying to rush into your thoughts
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and be in charge of your thoughts for the rest
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: of the day. The problem with that is it's so
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: damn familiar that we let it happen without even realizing.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: It's totally unconscious, and so what you need to be
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: doing every morning is to interrupt that default fear mode
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: by opening yourself to what is beyond your small, separate self.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: And I promise you all of it. Whether you call
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it God, whether you call it spirit, whether you call
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: it love, whether you call it the universe, whether you
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: call it your highest self, it doesn't matter. It doesn't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: care what you call it. All that matters is that
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you call it right, open to it and give it
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the permission, because it's knocking on the door on the
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: back of your heart, saying, my love, my child, you
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: beautiful thing. If you want me to come into your life,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: if you want me to guide you, if you want
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: me to show you, if you want what you came
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: here for, you just have to grant me permission. You
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: just have to be willing to open. And so that's
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: why this Wake Up with Ryan podcast is existing, so
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that every morning you take just a few minutes, just
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: ten minutes in the morning to open yourself. That's all
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it takes.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And well what do you do in those situations though?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: When Ryan is saying I need some attention over here,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I need some attention, and then the interview is going, ah,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: there's a clock on the wall. When that time hits
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that clock, then we can talk to Ryan, who needs
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the love. But right now, it's about receiving everything that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I can in this moment of Now.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Wow, what a profound question. Do I have four hours
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to talk about that one? And I'm happy and workshop it?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: You know, so that part of you, that part of
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you that's like, hey, I need attention, I would actually
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: say that that's the most important thing to do, is
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to give that part of you attention, not to dissociate
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: from it, not to distract yourself from it, but actually
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: to pause, just takes a few seconds to check in
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and go what's going on right now? Oh, I'm feeling
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: some anxiety. I'm feeling some pressure, I'm feeling some tension
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: in my gut. I'm feeling some sadness, feeling some anger,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling some resentment. I'm believing that I'm not enough.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I'm believing that they don't like me. I'm believing. And
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: what most of us do, because we never learned how
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: to hold that is we run away from it. We
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: dissociate it, whether that's through scrolling or through drinking, or
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: through smoking, or through eating or through working. There's so
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: much discomfort in our body, where essentially these machines with
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: unprocessed emotions sadness, anger, grief, et cetera, loss, you know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: not enoughness. We're essentially bodies that are walking around with
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a lifetime of unprocessed emotion. And so when those things
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: are coming up, it's really important that we actually pause
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: to check in with it and let it process because
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: that's where you discover who you really are. Because who
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: you really are is not afraid of sadness, loss, grief, fear, anxiety, depression.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: It actually is able to be completely aware of all
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You know what's so fascinating about you? Ryan, and I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: want listeners to really identify what we're feeling here because
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: if they've not been educated on it or stepped onto
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the path to live it, what you're every word you're
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: sharing is activation. In other words, you can sit here
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and talk about it all damn day to every person,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: but if you personally activate what you're saying, Ryan, then
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: then it's like, Okay, look to another episode, but somewhere
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: along the line, you're going to be activated, and that's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: when the change starts happening.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: That is so good. That is so good. I mean
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I have nothing to say, but I have everything to say.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: The ego loves to think.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: About this stuff, to talk about this stuff, to go
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: to the meditation classes, to connect with other like minded people,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: but when it comes to actually sitting down to do
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: the frickin' work, it's the last thing that's gonna let
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: you do it because it knows.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's where the ego is so sneaky, right,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: it says, and of course in miracles, the ego seeks
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: but never finds. It's seeking healing, it's seeking joy, it's
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: seeking your true self, but it knows that it will
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: never find it in the things of the world. But
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: it keeps you seeking it there. If I just become better,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: if I just learn more, if I just do another therapy,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: if I just improve my body, it keeps you seeking
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: it there, knowing it's never gonna find it there. And
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: that's how the ego, the belief that you are something separate,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: stays in charge of your life. And so you need
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: to have the I don't know autonomy, the authority of
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: your life to stop, to get still, and to sit
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: so that you can let dawn on you who you
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: really are, which is right here when you slow down
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: enough to connect with it. The thing, though, is is
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: that as soon as you sit and you get still,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: what happens you start becoming aware of how busy your
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: mind is. You start feeling discomfort, or you experience boredom
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: or whatever. So then you have to learn to be
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: with that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Ryan Weiss coming
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: up next his podcast Waking Up with Ryan. We are
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: back with Ryan Weiss. How do you deal with those
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: situations where you because I can feel it inside your podcast,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I can feel it now. You are a silent wolf.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You are a silent watcher, meaning that you can you
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: can stand thirty five forty five away from somebody and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: their body language is telling you everything you need to know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and all you want to do is lean in and say,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: try this the next time. I don't want to be
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: your dad, I don't want to be your grandfather. I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: just want to let you know do this next time.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And what you're doing right now is display you feel it,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: don't you because you know you do that, because you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: can feel it in your podcast.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm hmm. Well I think I'm able to do
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: it for others because I do it for myself all day,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Oh of course, yeah, yeah, that's it right. But isn't
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that the beauty of life is that you know, if
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you're going through it, you don't want someone to go
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to hell. You want to keep them away from there.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: That's right. And you know, I think hell is where
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: we all exist when we're forgetting who we are. You know.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Of course, a miracle says that heaven is not a
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: place you go to after you die. Heaven is the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: awareness of our oneness, and that hell is what the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: ego would make of the present moment. So hell is
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: believing you are something separate. Heaven is remembering who you are,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: which is the everything. And I think in terms of
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: being the silent wolf and being able to show up
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: for other people. I'm not on this planet to teach
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you anything, to try to heal you. I'm on this
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: planet to work on myself, to continue bringing the parts
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: of me who have forgotten who they are back to
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the center to remember. And as long as I'm doing
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: that healing work on myself consistently, it's not about being perfect.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: It's not be about being healed or awakened or enlightened.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It's about me doing that work for myself every moment
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: as much as I possibly can, not about being some
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: kind of monk who's like living in a cave and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: making my whole life about this. I still have fun.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I still drink and go out and party and dance
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and fight with my husband and do all those things.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: You know. Sometimes I hate my body. Sometimes I'm really
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: upset with a friend. Sometimes I'm totally judging myself. And
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: that's where the work gets to come in, not because
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: there's something wrong with me, but because there's parts of
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: me that are wanting my love and my attention and
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: my healing. And as long as I'm doing that on
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: myself consistently, then I don't have to do jack for anybody,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: because my life is the demonstration of the work.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Don't you think that one of the shakiest rocks on
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: our path that we take each and every is because
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: we can't break away from the buffet in the way
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of this multitasking crap that we've all been programmed to do.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: We need to step away from multitasking, and we need
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to identify what our true strength is and then grow forward.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Amen, Amen, thinking that you need to do more and
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: be busier, and that's going to be the source of
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: your success is a miss again comes from the ego
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: do more, be more, then you'll be happy. It's not true.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: In fact, what I find and I actually have a
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: recent episode from last Friday that's called slow Down, you
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: move too fast, and I talk about how the more
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I've slowed down in my life and just taken time
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to connect with the universe, because the universe is not
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: in a rush. The universe is eternal. If you're eternal,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: why rush. No, the universe is completely present and moving slowly.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: And so the more you slow yourself down to connect
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: with that, then, of course a miracle says that a
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: miracle collapses time. So if you want to have more joy,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: more abundance, more success in your life, that can happen
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: as a result of actually doing less, connecting more deeply
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: with life itself, with the capital L and then see
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: what happens as a result. And I've seen that happen
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: in my life. The success in my life, the joy,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the home that I was able to buy, the career
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: that I've been able to have and flourish, the money
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I've been able to make, the friends I've been able
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to attract, the life that I live the biggest, most
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: important things in my life have happened as a result
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: of prayer, has happened as a result of me saying
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to the universe, I'm willing to remember who I am.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I'm willing to be deeply connected to you. I'm willing
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: to have you run the show of my life and
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: run my thoughts today, show show me, show me, think
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: you think you, thank you, and then the miracles arrive.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: When you develop this podcast, come on now, be honest.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: How much to encouragement did it take? And number two,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: how much courage did it take? Encouragement from others, courage
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: from yourself because you're taking a chance with this podcast,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: because you know there are trolls out there, and there
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: are people that are going to go, oh my god,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want Captain happy. I want to live my
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: life like crap. And I look at him and go, oh,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I'll pray, yeah, I'll pray for you.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this an
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: a element with who were saying, you know earlier, the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: biggest troll. You want to who the biggest troll is you?
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: The voice in my own head? That's right, that's the
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: biggest troll. So I put this podcast out into the world,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I realize in hindsight now not to do anything for
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: other people. Again. It's like an opportunity for me to
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: continue my passive growth, and it is vulnerable to put
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: something out to have iHeartMedia behind it and have thousands
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: of people listen to it. And you know, I saw
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a comment on the Apple podcast that literally said, ew,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: this guy's a creep. And you know what was so
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: beautiful in that moment was if I had read that
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: five or ten years ago, that probably would have set
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: me off for my entire day. But what you said
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: is so interesting. I saw that and I immediately felt
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: this person because I'm clear on my intention, I'm clear
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: on where this is coming from in my heart and soul.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like this is Ryan who's doing this podcast.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I feel like Ryan's job is to be the faucet,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: not the water. And I'm feeling very clear about the
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: intrity and the clarity of the work. And when I
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: saw that comment from this person, I thought to myself, Wow, God,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: could you imagine listening to the podcast and feeling so
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable that you would then go to the comments and
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: write that comment. And I took a moment and said,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: may he be happy. May he be happy. And I'll
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: tell you another thing, which is, you know, when I
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: heart approaching me about this, I kind of arrogantly maybe said, yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: you know, let's that would be a daily podcast. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: they said are you sure about that? I mean that
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: is way too much content, Like how are you going
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: to do that? I said, oh, no problem. You set
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: me up in a studio, push record. I'll go all day,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: every day, no problem. Then I got into the studio
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and what I realized, well, well I started opening my
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: mouth and I hated everything. I just couldn't connect. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: what I realized was I've had a career working one
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: on one with people and speaking to large groups of people,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: and my work has always been in connection. Even if
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I'm speaking to a room of twenty five hundred people,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I feel that for whatever reason, maybe it's because of
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: my Broadway performer days and having this conversation with the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: general large mind in the room and I'm responding and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: reacting and talking and it's a conversation. Well here I
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: am now, about six months ago, starting to record the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: episodes talking to a camera alone in a room, and
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I realized what made me think that I'd be good
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: at that? And so I prayed. I said, Ari, Universe,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you brought this into my life. You made this podcast
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: happen one hundred percent. This was not me going out
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: there trying to make it happen. You brought this into
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: my life, so it must be happening for a reason.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And there's a line on a course in miracles that says,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: would it be fair to assume that God would assign
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: you it's a task, but not also give you the
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: means to meet it's accomplishment? So I said, you must
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: have given you must be giving me the means to
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: meet its accomplishment. Show me, show me what they are.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: And what happened was the next day a friend came over.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: The day after I was recording, a friend came over
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: who and by the way, this was the day after
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, I might need to quit this podcast.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I might need to send their money back, I might
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: need to cancel this whole thing. I don't know how
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do this. A friend came over who
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: was going through something really really, really hard. And this
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: is a man who tends to be quite buttoned up
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: with his emotions and for whatever reason, as he was
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: talking with me outside, he lost it and he just
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: started crying and he fell apart in my arms and
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: he let me hold him. And the next day I
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: had a recording scheduled and I went into the studio
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: and I looked at the theme for the episode that
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I had planned to shoot. I looked at the camera
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and there was my friend in the camera, and I
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: just talked. I literally could feel I could feel him
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: there with me, and I spoke directly to him, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I said, thank you God. That's my format. Now I
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: look at the theme, I think about one person in
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: my life who's going through something hard and needs to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: hear this message, and then there they are in the camera.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: So I'm always just talking to one person. So true.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Gods, dang it, twenty minutes with you went by two
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: damn fast. We got to get back together again, dude,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, you and I anytime we could talk for
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: those four hours, I swear to God we could.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Joe Rogan like, baby, let's go.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Well, please come back to this show anytime, So please
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: be brilliant and enjoy your journey with so many communicators today.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for having me it's a
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: real privilege.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: And well I was a privilege share in a conversation
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: with you. So I got the gift. You're the one
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: that gets to bring it. So I mean, now I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: need to bring you a gift.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I'll take it, all right, I receive.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: You'd be brilliant.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, Likewise, thank you.
