0:01
Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
0:04
Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
0:07
a mastermindset, coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
0:10
be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
0:12
come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
0:16
distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
0:20
some joy. Into the.
0:21
World. So welcome to the coop and let's
0:23
start your day off in a fantastic way, hey?
0:27
Everybody, good morning from the porch.
0:30
I am on the porch and you can hear Rufus off in the distance
0:32
over there. I'm on the porch because I just
0:34
had to do an early morning check in for a flight for my own two
0:39
flights for my son and myself because I'm taking him on an
0:42
epic adventure. And I'm super excited that he is
0:47
going to attend a Global Youth Leadership Summit put on by Tony
0:51
Robbins. Now, those of you who are
0:54
followers for a long time know that I worked for Tony for many,
0:57
many years. And I before I went out on my
1:01
own and worked with a bunch of other speakers and trainers as
1:04
well. But Tony was where it my whole
1:08
world changed. And when I went, that was
1:11
actually in 1995. So we're talking 30 years ago.
1:16
I walked into that place as a young girl and was like
1:21
astounded by what I saw at that very first event.
1:25
I remember walking in the door with my friend Marguerite, and
1:30
the two of us stood there and we just looked at each other and
1:32
went like, what did we just walk into?
1:36
Girls in our 20s? Like, you got to be kidding me.
1:39
This is amazing. Like, how is this all happening?
1:42
And she and I were both in an industry that was completely
1:46
different. We were into marketing and
1:48
visuals and graphics and we were doing all kinds of different
1:52
stuff. And we were.
1:53
It was just on the cusp of technology blowing up.
1:56
And we walked in and we had this visceral experience of like,
2:01
holy cow. And I remember it was snowing so
2:06
hard. We probably shouldn't have
2:08
driven there, but we did and we did.
2:10
We did safely and we got back and we the whole way home we
2:15
talked about how this was going to make our lives completely
2:19
different. And I immediately signed up to
2:22
go to more events. I immediately threw myself in
2:24
the ring and I kept saying I wish I had this growing up.
2:28
I wish I had known about this growing up.
2:30
Well, I, I am very privileged to say that my children have had
2:34
this growing up. My daughter was able to walk a
2:38
fire walk with Tony himself when she was nine years old.
2:43
And I just, I just love the fact that she was able to do that and
2:48
her level of confidence and how she, you know, just owns herself
2:53
has always been so much different.
2:56
Her childhood was so different than mine for many reasons, but
3:00
for the her, the way she handled it was so much different based
3:04
on the environment she grew up in and what I was able to give
3:07
her from this side of the stuff. And as my son is as well his,
3:13
his whole world was different based on what we knew and what
3:17
we were giving them differently. And I, I dedicated myself
3:22
completely to being able to do this and do it well.
3:27
And make sure my kids were getting it.
3:30
But my son has never been able to go to a live event.
3:34
And when this came up and I saw that the applications were open
3:38
and I put his hat in the ring and, you know, never said I was
3:43
used to be there or anything. He had to get in on his own
3:45
merit. He had to apply.
3:47
He had to go through the interviews, all of it.
3:50
And he got in. And I could not be more excited
3:53
about this. So for the next week, tomorrow
3:57
morning, we take off very early. And for the next week, we are
4:02
going to be at, you know, he's going to go to the event and I
4:05
am going to be out there supporting him from a distance.
4:09
And I have a friend who's a daughter is also attending this
4:13
event. And she and I are going to be
4:16
able to spend some real quality time together working on some
4:20
very special things. And I'm going to coerce her into
4:24
being a guest with me while we are out there.
4:26
So for the next week, right through till October 3rd, I'm
4:31
sorry, not why did I say October, August 3rd, we are
4:35
going to be remote doing these. So I am, I think it's the third.
4:40
I think yes, it's, it's the third fly back on the 6th on the
4:43
second. So we are going to be remote.
4:46
And, and for those of you who are wondering who is taking care
4:50
of everything, my husband is here taking care of all the
4:53
animals and, you know, running the ship while I'm gone.
4:57
And believe me, I've written him pages and pages and pages of
4:59
notes to which he laughs. And hopefully he'll pay kind of
5:04
attention to them. But in any event, the good news
5:08
is that we're going to have this epic adventure and we're going
5:12
to share it with all of you. And the better news is he's
5:16
going to have something that's going to change his life.
5:19
So the point of today, besides sharing this good news with you,
5:22
is that I want you all to realize sometimes you do one
5:25
thing and you think it's just going to be one thing.
5:28
And it changes your whole world in a fantastic way that you
5:32
never anticipated. So be brave, try new things,
5:35
jump in, and you never know where it's going to lead you.
5:38
All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
5:41
will see you all tomorrow. And it'll probably be the butt
5:46
crack of dawn when I do that. I think I will probably be
5:49
recording around 2:30 AM. All right, my friends, I'll talk
5:52
to you soon. Bye.
