Latest / The Hannah Hammond Show / He Built Multiple Companies by Avoiding This One Thing
Transcript
- 0:00For those of you who don't have the pleasure of knowing my
- 0:02friend Karen Jones, he is literally the definition of
- 0:07transformation. I was living in my car for 2 1/2
- 0:10years, sleeping in abandoned buildings, sleeping on bubble
- 0:13wrap and I'm just like, there's no possible way that I was put
- 0:17on this earth as a miracle to pay bills and die to pass that
- 0:22on to my kids. When a child does not honor what
- 0:26is naturally in their spirit, they will find unhealthy ways to
- 0:32express and that's what turns into porn, drugs, over
- 0:35sexualizing, alcohol, you name it.
- 0:38All of those are forms of expression, but they're
- 0:41unhealthy because the the point of origin of your natural
- 0:45expression isn't getting met. Not honoring what's naturally
- 0:49inside of me and everyone telling me to shut up because I
- 0:53always wanted to sing. Well, then that turned into me
- 0:56sleeping around with all these women and me doing all these
- 1:00things, breaking into cars. But they're all forms of
- 1:03unhealthy expression. And that's what led me
- 1:06ultimately to crash and burn over and over and over.
- 1:10And now we're here. And the same person that was
- 1:14passionate about singing sings as loud as he wants every day.
- 1:20Because no one. I will never give someone else
- 1:22outside of me permission take away something that God has put
- 1:26inside of me. Welcome back to the Hannah
- 1:29Hammond Show. I'm sitting here today with one
- 1:32of the most, I don't want to say the most because I don't want to
- 1:35leave anyone out, but probably the most beautiful human I have
- 1:38ever met in my entire life. Like you were just such an
- 1:41incredible soul. And you have this energy that is
- 1:45the most grounded, connected, loving, abundant.
- 1:49You exemplify what I am striving to accomplish in the world.
- 1:54And you give out what I want to give out in the world.
- 1:58And you just bring up the energy and the connection and the joy
- 2:01and the love of everybody that you encounter.
- 2:04So First off, I want to just say thank you for all of that and
- 2:08for being such a beautiful human inside and out.
- 2:11I'm just I need about 3 seconds to receive the words from
- 2:18someone that I admire, that I'm inspired by that constantly
- 2:22gives constantly, serves, constantly, wants to learn and
- 2:25grow, and is a badass. So like, kudos and Ditto to you,
- 2:32my friend. Thank you.
- 2:33Yeah, thank you. Yeah.
- 2:34So for for those of you who don't have the pleasure of
- 2:38knowing my friend Karen Jones, he is literally the definition
- 2:42of transformation. And he is the definition of
- 2:47relentless and the definition of turning pain into purpose and
- 2:51impact. And I mean, I want you to Share
- 2:54your story. And I know it's long, but we can
- 2:57we can share pieces of it. And some of those rock bottom
- 3:00moments are those trans informative events.
- 3:02But I mean, from the time you were born, you could say that
- 3:08your cards were not laid out well for you.
- 3:10No, not at all. Not even.
- 3:13I probably could have written a best selling book by the time I
- 3:16was five years old on transformation and what me and
- 3:19my family, especially me, had to adapt to.
- 3:22And I would say my earliest memory is being four years old.
- 3:27There's commotions in the house. You know, when you're a little
- 3:30kid, there's a lot of stuff you don't remember, but you remember
- 3:32things that impact you. And my mom saying pick which
- 3:36parent you want to go with. I don't want to choose, choose
- 3:40out of the unit. I don't want to choose.
- 3:43And I remember making a decision to go with my dad because he was
- 3:48the easier of the parent. And then something rose up
- 3:53inside of my belly. What I now know is my intuition
- 3:56said, stop the car, go with your mom, go with your mom, go with
- 4:00your mom. And then I ended up we we drove
- 4:04back to my mom. A few years later, the house
- 4:07that I would have been in my father was murdered.
- 4:09Oh my God, you know what I'm saying?
- 4:10So it's like there's that story and then being the same age 4,
- 4:18and there's a grown man that says, hey, you want to go to
- 4:21Disneyland? And I'm like, yeah, Because when
- 4:23you're a little kid and you see what you see on TV, it's the
- 4:26land of make believe. It's like if you get into that
- 4:29dryer, which was a community dryer, you'll go to Disneyland.
- 4:33And I remember saying to myself at four, that doesn't make
- 4:37sense, but it's the land of make believe.
- 4:41So I'm just going to believe I'm going to Disneyland and maybe
- 4:44this is the route I'm 4. So this grown man picks up a 4
- 4:48year old child, puts him in the community dryer and tries to
- 4:52kill him. Thank God someone saved my life.
- 4:57And so my life has been many. It's not even a few, many times
- 5:06where it seemed like I wasn't supposed to live or I wasn't
- 5:11supposed to make it. My cars weren't dealt.
- 5:14My family doesn't come from money.
- 5:16People didn't know how to make money.
- 5:17It was all fear based and it was like there's no entrepreneurs as
- 5:22far as the eye could see. But I was the one that was
- 5:26always getting kicked out of school.
- 5:28Thank God I got kicked out of school because I didn't get
- 5:31indoctrinated by those white walls and those those lights
- 5:36that that that the same lights that are in hospitals, same
- 5:40lights that are in prisons inside of school.
- 5:42And all I would do is look out the window and say, I feel like
- 5:46I'm supposed to be out there. And you know, I could be on here
- 5:52talking about how much trouble I got.
- 5:55I got in trouble, kicked out of public school, in and out of
- 5:58juvenile, in and out of jail. Or I could talk about all of
- 6:04those are forms of expression, because the origin of my
- 6:07expression, a little kid who wanted to sing loud where
- 6:12everyone told him to shut up, stuffed down his artist, stuffed
- 6:18down what he always wanted to do, and then started to live a
- 6:21life based off of what everybody else wanted him to do.
- 6:25So I could talk about me going in and out of prison or I can go
- 6:31straight to the point. When a child does not honor what
- 6:37is naturally in their spirit, they will find unhealthy ways to
- 6:43to express. And that's what turns into porn,
- 6:46drugs, over sexualizing, alcohol, you name it.
- 6:50Physical abuse, rape, all of those are forms of expression,
- 6:55but they're unhealthy because the the point of origin of your
- 6:59natural expression isn't getting met.
- 7:03So that was me. And so you Fast forward to when
- 7:08you think about ABC's that turn into sentences, paragraphs,
- 7:12essays, books. Well, the ABC's of not honoring
- 7:16what's naturally inside of me and everyone telling me to shut
- 7:19up because I always wanted to sing.
- 7:22Well, OK, Well, then that turned into me sleeping around with all
- 7:27these women and me doing all these things, breaking into
- 7:30cars. But they're all forms of
- 7:32unhealthy expression. And that's what led me
- 7:36ultimately to crash and burn over and over and over to the
- 7:40point where 2011 as I closed this part of my story out, I was
- 7:47$250,000 in debt, ex convict, couldn't take care of my own
- 7:54daughter because I didn't know I even know how to take care of
- 7:56myself. Mom dying in the hospital.
- 7:59I was living in my car for 2 1/2 years, sleeping in abandoned
- 8:02buildings, sleeping and on bubble wrap.
- 8:06And I'm just like, there's no possible way that I was put on
- 8:10this earth as a miracle to pay bills and die and to pass that
- 8:17on to my kids. So it was 2011 at 3:43 in the
- 8:24morning, and that's when it all came.
- 8:26That was the rock bottom of my rock bottom of my rock bottom.
- 8:29And I was like, OK, I'm tired of fighting.
- 8:34I don't want to fight anymore. I want to be healthy.
- 8:37I want to be happy. I want to be surrounded by
- 8:40nothing but positive people. I just want to inspire people.
- 8:43And I want to make a bunch of money, but I want the money to
- 8:46represent something that I passionately believe in that I
- 8:49would do for free. Just show me a sign.
- 8:52Show me a sign. Peak state.
- 8:55One week later I meet a homeless person at a gas station that
- 9:00asked me for money. I said you have more money than
- 9:02me. And he said change your mindset,
- 9:04change your life. And that it was that statement
- 9:08right there that created a conscious interrupt that then
- 9:11said, well maybe my whole life has been a lie based off of how
- 9:16I've been thinking. So what if I start doing the
- 9:19opposite of everything that I wouldn't normally do in areas of
- 9:23my life where I wasn't happy? I wasn't happy with my weight,
- 9:26my health, my friends, my relationships, who I was as a
- 9:29person, who I was as a son, as a father.
- 9:32So every area of my life, I literally started doing the
- 9:36opposite. So leadership seminars,
- 9:41masterminds, reading books, stop watching TV, stop listening to
- 9:46the radio. And like literally investing
- 9:48into forging myself into the future as the highest and
- 9:52fullest expression of myself literally created the inverse of
- 9:56who I was back when I was a Walking Dead person.
- 9:59And now we're here and the same person that was passionate about
- 10:06singing sings as loud as he wants every day because no one.
- 10:11I will never give someone else outside of me permission to take
- 10:15away something that God has put inside of me.
- 10:18No idea that that was going to take me to 97 countries,
- 10:21speaking to over 2.7 million people, earning millions of
- 10:25dollars in three different companies.
- 10:27I mean, and it feels effortless. Why?
- 10:29Because I paid the price and all I've got to do is bring my
- 10:33fullest and highest expression and then teach other people how
- 10:37to do that and not live as a limitation, not even for a
- 10:41fragment of themselves. And that's what has me sitting
- 10:45in this chair right now, filled with humility and grace and
- 10:51poise. Very clear and very certain and
- 10:54very, very, very grounded. Because I know what the other
- 10:58side looks and feels like. That's so beautiful.
- 11:02And I think it's something that so many people don't even
- 11:08realize how detached they are from their inner child and how
- 11:12detached they are from who they even are.
- 11:15And that we based on our environment and based on what we
- 11:19get rewarded for or punished for as a little baby or a child or
- 11:23through our even early adulthood, we learn more into
- 11:27the things that people reward us for.
- 11:29That's energy. That's like a flower.
- 11:32If a flower is next to the window, it's not leaning towards
- 11:36the shade, it's leaning to what's giving it energy.
- 11:41So when a child, a flower is not being recognized here, they will
- 11:48literally I feel I feel like the first abandonment and doesn't
- 11:51come from mom or dad. It's when the child abandons
- 11:53themselves, the truest part of themselves when they abandoned
- 11:58that to then go to where the energy is.
- 12:00There are people that will sell their whole souls because
- 12:04something feels safe in an energy that they don't actually
- 12:07even agree with. I see it all the time.
- 12:10And so that child, when you see, when you feel like mommy cares,
- 12:18like mommy acts and matter of fact, mommy is going to expose
- 12:20you to the thing that you're naturally showing.
- 12:24When you give that to even when you're an adult and you give
- 12:27that to your inner child. Oh, the level of healing that
- 12:31can happen within 30 minutes is, I mean, it's insurmountable
- 12:37because that's what the child is craving connection from
- 12:41yourself. How do you get reconnected to
- 12:45yourself? How do you find yourself?
- 12:47And you know, people, I think it's such a abstract idea of
- 12:53like they have this idea of who they are because that's the ego
- 12:57and that's what they built over some years.
- 12:58But like, how do they get that awareness?
- 13:01Then that intuition that something's off here?
- 13:03I, I don't know, like something feels wrong.
- 13:05I'm angry, I'm sad, I'm frustrated, I'm blaming
- 13:09everything around me and even get that awareness.
- 13:11And then what steps did you take to like really change?
- 13:15Well, one, we all know, everybody knows.
- 13:19Now if you want to do something about it, that's another thing.
- 13:21But everybody knows when something's off.
- 13:23You know when you're dating that guy, you know you don't want to
- 13:26be in that relationship, but y'all invested all this time.
- 13:29Next thing you know you're walking down the aisle in a
- 13:32marriage you know you don't want to be in.
- 13:34And then five years later all these blow UPS happen.
- 13:38You're like, I don't know what happened.
- 13:40Yeah, you lied in the beginning, so we all know now the question
- 13:44is, why is the number one fear in the world public speaking?
- 13:51That's even more than death. You got to be kidding me.
- 13:55Well, public speaking doesn't come from the throat.
- 13:59It comes from the confidence that's even in your sacral
- 14:02chakra, your belly, your confidence.
- 14:05This is why there's a Me Too movement, because all of those
- 14:09women didn't feel safe enough to actually speak up.
- 14:13And there's so many men that don't tell the truth, but so
- 14:17they'll just like weasel around and say a fragment of it.
- 14:20That's the real conversation. So we all know it's like, are
- 14:26you avoiding like? But when you look in the mirror,
- 14:30nobody's around and the truth shows up.
- 14:33That person knows. Now if you want to look at it or
- 14:36not, that's on you. Now what I do, and I'll tell
- 14:40you, I have a client because I 94% of my clientele is powerful,
- 14:44driven women. They're all like killing it in
- 14:47life, which we should just call it living it and a client and
- 14:52she's worth about $150 million and she came to me.
- 14:55She's like, Garen, I have everything.
- 14:57I have the cars, I have the money, I have the husband, I
- 15:00have the kid kids and something is missing.
- 15:03I said, what did you used to love to do as a child that
- 15:06brought you the most joy? And she had to think about it.
- 15:08She's like, I used to dance. And instantly her whole, her
- 15:12whole energy changed just in the thought about what she used to
- 15:16do that brought her the most joy.
- 15:18The people don't ask these questions.
- 15:20I used to dance. I was like, when was the last
- 15:22time that you gave yourself full permission to dance like you did
- 15:25when you were a little kid? She was like, I watched her body
- 15:28go like this 20 years ago and I said, you have kids, right?
- 15:33She said, yes. I said, if your daughter comes
- 15:36up to you or your son and goes mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom,
- 15:41listen to me and you never acknowledge that child for 20
- 15:46years, what do you think the relationship is going to be
- 15:48like? She said it wouldn't be 1.
- 15:50I said right is there's no emotional closure, closure.
- 15:54Let's just play a game of thinking all possibilities.
- 16:00Let's just imagine that your inner child and the thing that
- 16:07you used to love is that every time you see somebody doing it,
- 16:09there's like a little thing that happens inside.
- 16:12Like I remember I used to love that.
- 16:14Imagine that, that inner child going mom, mom, well, but you
- 16:18ignored that child for 20 years. What do you think the
- 16:23relationship was going to be like?
- 16:25That's where the disconnect is. It's from the physical and the
- 16:29spiritual self. But the moment you become
- 16:32aligned, that's why birds can fly.
- 16:35Bird's flight is the bird's version of abundance and not
- 16:41just in money. I know so many, so many
- 16:45outwardly wealthy people. I have 5 minute conversation.
- 16:49I can, I can share every area in their life where they're broke
- 16:53and poor and where they're overcompensating and masking.
- 16:57And I'm like, that is actually deteriorating your age because
- 17:05of the masking and overcompensating.
- 17:07So what I would say and what I said to my client, I said she
- 17:11used to love dancing. She was like, yeah, I was like,
- 17:14sign up for a dancing class once a week, but how am I going to
- 17:19scale? Fuck the scaling.
- 17:23This is your heart. Scale your heart.
- 17:27The highest frequency of the EKG's literally comes from the
- 17:31heart. Doesn't come for your business.
- 17:34And I said give 30 minutes, at least 30 minutes once a week.
- 17:42But you don't take the adult. Take the little kid who just
- 17:46loves dancing. No rhyme, no rhythm, it doesn't
- 17:50matter. And just allow yourself in the
- 17:53possibility of play that will create a sense of trust and
- 17:58connection with the body because you're giving yourself
- 18:01permission. And most people haven't given
- 18:04themselves permission to be who that is.
- 18:06Because I'm too old or because my dad wants this or my mom
- 18:09wants this. So you find one thing that used
- 18:13to love. If you don't remember, ask
- 18:14somebody from when you were a little kid, what did I used to
- 18:17naturally love when I was a little kid?
- 18:19Oh, you used to love Barbies and, and, and creating the
- 18:24houses. Had another client.
- 18:27She was like, but I don't understand.
- 18:29By the way, she's a world class realtor said.
- 18:32What do you love about real estate?
- 18:34She was like, I love just seeing the people's faces when I get
- 18:38the houses using real estate development.
- 18:40When I doll up all the houses, I say, you know the words you just
- 18:44used when I doll up all the houses.
- 18:48So you're literally living in your Dharma.
- 18:50That's why you're so happy. It's because you were doing this
- 18:55when you were a little kid. It's just fully, fully realized.
- 18:59That's what I would do. And that's very simple, 30
- 19:02minutes a week. And you give yourself the
- 19:04opportunity to have an inner child date.
- 19:07Don't take the adult and just say I give myself full
- 19:10permission to play. And you're going to start
- 19:14remembering things and feeling things that you haven't felt in
- 19:17a long time. Do you think that is enough to
- 19:23change the course of someone's life?
- 19:25100% we think about it, someone could be the most extraordinary
- 19:34human perceived by all. They could say F you on live TV
- 19:43to the wrong person and that one act and literally alter the
- 19:49course of his life and how he's perceived and all those
- 19:53different things. So any slight variation, this is
- 19:57how powerful we are as beings. Any slight variation that's out
- 20:03of your normal habitual behavior in a direction that's connected
- 20:07to the elevation of the human spirit will 100% cause change.
- 20:13But you got to understand, we're not looking for the giant well
- 20:16in the ocean. We're looking for the little
- 20:19seahorse that goes because that seahorse is the same thing as an
- 20:23acorn that has the power to grow into a giant oak tree.
- 20:27Most people looking for the big things don't realize the small
- 20:29things are actually the real big things.
- 20:32It's the subtleties of life. So 100% that in itself, if it's
- 20:38not something you do, you're like, I don't have enough time
- 20:41for yourself. Yeah, that makes sense why
- 20:44you're unhappy in specific areas because you don't make time for
- 20:48you. Well, I'm in a relationship, but
- 20:51I just feel like they don't see me.
- 20:53But you don't see yourself because you don't make time for
- 20:56you. Well, I just feel like he's this
- 20:59or she is this. When was the last time you said
- 21:01I love you to yourself? Oh, about two months ago.
- 21:05If they went in the if you hear I love you every day.
- 21:09And then all of a sudden you don't hear it for two months.
- 21:12What would happen? Oh, I would question.
- 21:14We wouldn't even be in a relationship.
- 21:15I said, there's your answer right there.
- 21:17Everything is going to come right back to you.
- 21:20So the moment you realize everything you're looking for is
- 21:23inside my role in this world, teach people how to look inside
- 21:28because you'll give your power away out there.
- 21:30And that's that's that doesn't create healthy evolution.
- 21:35Yeah, that was what I had to learn too.
- 21:37I think I same thing I was that that flower growing to what gave
- 21:41me energy in all the wrong places and engaged to a drug
- 21:44addict, became a drug addict, also engaged to a drug dealer,
- 21:49was engaged twice and had that those feelings, you know, always
- 21:54high performing, but also high if I wasn't performing and just
- 22:00whatever gave me that attention or whatever I thought I had to
- 22:03look like, whatever I thought I had to act like, whatever I
- 22:05thought I had to talk like. And I was so miserable and like,
- 22:10what? What is this buzz inside of me
- 22:12that won't go away? And I'm so anxious and I'm
- 22:14depressed and I want to kill myself and I have no friends and
- 22:16I have nobody I can talk to or trust except this attention from
- 22:20this horrible human that shows me some sort of love to, you
- 22:24know, whatever all these things. And then I had to realize I had
- 22:28to get to rock bottom where I wanted to take my life and
- 22:33realize that was that intuition like, but I had never felt
- 22:37right, so I didn't know it existed.
- 22:40And that was that hopelessness of like, why am I here?
- 22:43What is the point of it all? Because this is painful.
- 22:48And now that I truly like absolutely love every single
- 22:53day. And I of course I have my
- 22:55challenges and my struggles and I now embrace them with every
- 22:58fiber of my being because that's life like that's that's growing,
- 23:02that's learning, that's impacting.
- 23:04And but it was no, it was changing my mindset to instead
- 23:08of this is all, why is this happening to me?
- 23:10Why me? Why do I look this way?
- 23:12Why do I have this family? Why do I attract these men?
- 23:15Why can't I have a rich, you know, mentor like family or
- 23:19somebody like instead of being the victim and starting to
- 23:24think, OK, what can I do differently?
- 23:28And who am I really? Because clearly I'm not living
- 23:33in integrity with who I really AM.
- 23:35And the thing that helped me was an energetic intelligence coach
- 23:39that even taught me about energy.
- 23:41I didn't even know what that meant.
- 23:42And then learning that somebody that vibrates at the highest
- 23:45frequency, and we were just talking about this brings up
- 23:49like someone that's fully actualized, a fully realized
- 23:52self and up near self actualization or as high as a as
- 23:57connected as they could possibly be to their highest potential,
- 24:01their highest form of expression, as you say, that
- 24:04brings up everything around them, like hundreds of people
- 24:07around them. And so that's where I became
- 24:10obsessed with once I realized I can create whatever I want in
- 24:14the world. Like the world is my blank
- 24:17canvas, and I could create whatever I want, and I can think
- 24:20as big and abundant as I want and I can create literally any.
- 24:23Like if human existence can exist, we can create anything.
- 24:28It's infinite, right? Yeah.
- 24:29It's so beautiful. And being able to help like
- 24:33people. I have such a soft spot for
- 24:36people that are so miserable and anxious and depressed and
- 24:40disconnected and scarcity mindset and bad relationships
- 24:44and addicted behavior behaviors. But I was that person for the
- 24:471st 25 years in my life. You could argue even longer than
- 24:51that. But yeah, I I just went on a
- 24:56long tangent, but ultimately, I don't think you know until you
- 25:01know different. And so for people like you who
- 25:05try to teach this when it's not something that's very conceptual
- 25:09or logical because you only know the suffering that you're
- 25:11currently in. I love that your first idea is
- 25:15play and like feed that inner child and what what do you do
- 25:20after that like. So yeah, so basically context is
- 25:26everything. You know it, there's there.
- 25:29If you give somebody context and a point of relatability,
- 25:34everything, all of the patterns and sequences start making
- 25:38sense. And so if you feel better, it
- 25:42affects how you work, it affects your health, effects how you
- 25:47think, how you think effects how you speak, how you speak affects
- 25:51your actions, and that your actions affect the outcome.
- 25:54So what I do is teach people how to notice what's typically
- 26:01unnoticed. And it's just the subtle changes
- 26:05that are out of your ordinary rhythm that simultaneously
- 26:11happen the moment you change your energy.
- 26:16So it's teaching people how to catch the rhythm of nature and
- 26:20how they can see certain things that they, you know, it's you,
- 26:24you, you, you, you want to becomes like a you, you tap into
- 26:29this level of you. You don't you want a blue car.
- 26:33You never thought about a blue car.
- 26:35Then all of a sudden you're like, I'm going to get a blue
- 26:36car. You see a blue car in every
- 26:38block. You're like, I'm seeing blue
- 26:39cars everywhere. So there's a place that happens
- 26:43in your brain. It's always, always there, but
- 26:46awareness and context and a point of relatability is what
- 26:50makes that even the fractals of your life make so much sense.
- 26:55Sense because you can't see the picture while you're in the
- 26:57frame. I teach people what's in the
- 26:59frame and then I'm like, do you see that?
- 27:03It's all about comprehension. It's the same thing that
- 27:05happened in elementary school. You have comprehension tests to
- 27:08see if you comprehend what you're being taught.
- 27:11Most people learn in theory, but they don't learn in the in the
- 27:15body. So the next place I go is the
- 27:17body. It's like I know a bunch of
- 27:19smart people. Smart and intelligence in in the
- 27:24especially in the Western culture, is associated with
- 27:28somebody who has a lot of knowledge.
- 27:31But knowledge doesn't equate to wisdom.
- 27:33Knowledge is somebody with that's continuous study and they
- 27:37have a really good memory. That's not true intelligence.
- 27:40True intelligence is found in the wisdom in the body.
- 27:43It's like you get a cut and then all of a sudden it grow.
- 27:45You're like, yo, it healed. That's intelligence.
- 27:49You know, my when we were fortunate enough to have two
- 27:52babies in our home, home births, they said Blair push.
- 27:58She was like, I don't have to. Something's already pushing.
- 28:00That's intelligence. So the moment we get to play, it
- 28:05brings up a vibration in your body of safety.
- 28:09Have so many women as well. I've worked with so many women.
- 28:12I wouldn't set out to do that, but they're like, I've never
- 28:14felt this safe in the presence of another masculine man who
- 28:18doesn't want anything from me. Play brings safety to the
- 28:22nervous system. The safer you feel, the easier
- 28:26it is to heal, the easier it is to transform, the easier it is
- 28:29to have a new a new sense of awareness.
- 28:34But you just sometimes people play to escape and I talk about
- 28:37playing escape or working out to escape.
- 28:40It's playing to remember. And those are two different
- 28:43contexts, two different results. So I give these contexts play is
- 28:48going to open up the body once we get to the body and you can
- 28:52feel the vibration. Oh, now this is where I do my
- 28:57real work is because that's where the ancient and ancestral
- 29:00work, that's with the, the, the inherent intelligence is, but
- 29:06you've got to understand how frequency and vibration works.
- 29:09But frequency is, is the only, it's the point of contact.
- 29:13Anything after the point of contact is called resonance.
- 29:17And that's what you're speaking to is that one person that rises
- 29:22can lift up all those people. So one person in resonance, like
- 29:28when they are in the right field, that field will then
- 29:34harmonize with everybody's whatever, what everybody's
- 29:37walls, and it'll just lift them up.
- 29:38One of my greatest gifts is to teach on resonance.
- 29:41And I can teach it very practically.
- 29:44But we've got to get you in the body first, not the head.
- 29:47The head is analytical. It's like speaking two different
- 29:51languages. We got to get you in the wisdom
- 29:54of the body through the play is the access point.
- 29:58And then once you are open and available and it's like, oh, I
- 30:04feel this joy now. We start talking about things
- 30:09that you held onto and certain things from your past, but
- 30:14you've got this inherent resonance that supporting the
- 30:17safety in the body. Then we go to the body.
- 30:20Once we go to the body, then we start extracting all the stuff
- 30:24that most people don't even know that's there.
- 30:28You don't even know that it's there.
- 30:30I did, I did 15 years of work to learn about what's there and how
- 30:35to do it. And I love puzzle pieces and
- 30:38everything. And then once that is, is, is is
- 30:42open, then I'm like, OK, so your body is needing soft power, not
- 30:51hard power. Hard power is going against your
- 30:53resonance, which is going against your safety.
- 30:56And the moment you don't feel safe, now you're on guard.
- 30:58Now you're back to the, the automatic.
- 31:01And so it's different with different people.
- 31:03But like at my retreats, the field of resonance transforms
- 31:07every single person in the room because I speak into all those
- 31:10different places. It's.
- 31:13Do you obviously know Gabramante, Dr. Yeah, I was at
- 31:17one of his workshops, and he said his gravestone will say
- 31:21that was a lot more work than I anticipated.
- 31:25But I've been doing the work, too, and realizing I didn't know
- 31:30I had, you know, trauma. I didn't know what that was.
- 31:33And I knew that everything was not perfect all the time.
- 31:38And I suffered a lot of pain, mostly internally, but I didn't
- 31:43know anything about the work or what healing was or that I even
- 31:46had problems. I just thought life equals pain
- 31:50and for some reason I'm miserable.
- 31:52And that was all I really knew. I didn't know that there was
- 31:54like another option out there. But then as I started to explore
- 31:59the work and study Doctor Gaber Mate and listen to people like
- 32:02you who are transforming the world and transforming
- 32:05themselves and doing therapy. And I did plant medicine
- 32:09journeys and those were massive. But it was during a plant
- 32:13medicine journey that I was doing with a shaman that I felt
- 32:17for the first time, I had nothing to distract me, no
- 32:21addiction to distract me, No work, no money, no attention, no
- 32:24food, like none of my addictions, which I'm a very,
- 32:27you know, addicted. I've always been a disconnected
- 32:30person seeking dopamine to fill whatever hole or numbness I had
- 32:35inside of me. And it was in this journey where
- 32:38I was laying there with myself for five hours with a mask on in
- 32:43one spot with nothing other than ceremonial music.
- 32:47And I just felt the pain inside my whole body and the tightness
- 32:55like of my shoulders and my back.
- 32:57And I always had back and neck problems.
- 32:59And I thought it was my scoliosis.
- 33:01But I felt all this tightness. And through a series of other
- 33:06work and ceremonies and journeys, at one point, I saw
- 33:11the pain that my, my brother had that, you know, the people that
- 33:15had hurt me, I saw their pain for the first time and I had
- 33:18only ever seen my pain. And through this work, I felt
- 33:24all this resentment release from my body.
- 33:27And I literally felt like a new human.
- 33:29Like once my body was, I was connected again.
- 33:32It was almost like I would have been disconnected my whole life.
- 33:35And then I was reconnected and it felt like everything in my
- 33:38body changed. And I walked into my hairdresser
- 33:42and she's like, your energy is way different.
- 33:45Like what is something happened or like you're just a new
- 33:48person. And I didn't even know that I
- 33:51was giving off that energy and that I was always like this.
- 33:54And, and I still have it. And that's why I want to ask for
- 33:57your help because I do a lot of this work and I consider myself
- 34:02to be a very connected person now, but I still get back into
- 34:07my old habits or get, you know, I also want to build a billion
- 34:09dollar company and I have like, I want to impact the whole world
- 34:12and I have all these big dreams because I, I feel like my cup is
- 34:16filled from impact and I want to impact others.
- 34:19And the goal is just a, a means to create that impact.
- 34:23But I still pick my nails nonstop.
- 34:26You probably see me over here picking my nails.
- 34:27I still impulsively eat. I still feel the buzz inside of
- 34:32me, even though it's not like that constant crippling.
- 34:35So I'm like, how do I remove the brick from my head that creating
- 34:40something massive and great and high impact and change the world
- 34:44one person at a time? How do I have that vision
- 34:48without the belief that I'm going to have to sacrifice
- 34:51connection and play and joy and all these things and not feel so
- 35:01like I want to get rid of the buzz a little bit, you know?
- 35:03I get you. I got you.
- 35:04OK. Had a friend in the music
- 35:07industry who had it all. So I thought, and I was
- 35:12patterning, one day I'm going to live like that.
- 35:14And then he put a bullet into his brain and I was like, wait a
- 35:18second, that's who I'm following.
- 35:22He killed himself. He had all the stuff he didn't
- 35:28have himself. And that's when I went on this
- 35:31journey of creating my version of success, but it could not
- 35:38mirror what somebody else deems success was.
- 35:43And my version of success was when I look in the mirror and
- 35:47the truth shows up, I'm genuinely happy with what I see
- 35:51and when it before I go to bed at night, there's no voices in
- 35:54my head. So I literally started striving
- 35:58for whatever would create that I had no idea would come with all
- 36:02these companies and patents. And I mean, I've, I've had
- 36:08people that are investors, they're like Gary and you're the
- 36:10luckiest person alive. Like, how are you 15 for 15 when
- 36:15it comes to investments that hit every single time because I
- 36:18don't invest in people or products.
- 36:21There's a resonance. And every time my body feels
- 36:24truth, I just will invest in that resonance.
- 36:29And it tends to just do cool shit.
- 36:33So my advice to you is if there's anywhere in your life
- 36:40where you are avoiding feeling, yeah, anywhere, that's your
- 36:51bottleneck. Because the thing about it is
- 36:54you can have this billion dollar company, you can have all those
- 36:58things. It will never solve the problem
- 37:03of someone who's avoiding they're beyond billion dollar
- 37:08self. And if you could get that, you
- 37:11are actually all of it. You're not separate from none of
- 37:15it. People's Oh my God, the moon and
- 37:18the stars and they're like, wow, the eclipse is crazy and they
- 37:21look in the mirror and see something different.
- 37:24That's the bottleneck. Now if you could wow the shit
- 37:28out of yourself in even the most avoidable parts, wow, look at
- 37:35that. Wow, look at your hands when you
- 37:38feel nervous and wow and you look in the mirror and you do
- 37:41that, you'll start recoding your body.
- 37:43Because all of that is all of this.
- 37:47And I had to learn the hard way, but I manifested my way out of a
- 37:5112 year prison sentence in 2 1/2 years.
- 37:53Once I realized the power of all of this, I'm like, oh, there's
- 38:00another world beyond this linear physical world.
- 38:05The other day was like, I don't, I can't.
- 38:07Why do you always talk about multi dimensional?
- 38:10I don't believe in. I was like, you ever had a dream
- 38:12before? Fuck.
- 38:14Do you think that comes from just picking your nails and all
- 38:17of a sudden you have a dream at night about ancient Greek, Roman
- 38:21time or something like that. You're had an intuition or a hit
- 38:24and all of a sudden it happens there's another world.
- 38:29We're multi dimensional beings living a linear life and the
- 38:33more that you operate from, from the facet of being linear,
- 38:40you'll take away from the full spectrum spectrum of who you
- 38:44really are. Beyond the world of thought,
- 38:47beyond the world of image, beyond the world of even money.
- 38:51That's a money's a piece of paper with preconceived value.
- 38:54They can literally take right now.
- 38:57Right now, 500 million, say it's $0.25 tomorrow and everybody
- 39:02would go fucking crazy. That's what they make their God.
- 39:06Anything that has power over you becomes your God.
- 39:09So once you strip away all the layers and you give the power
- 39:15back to this multi dimensional self, the way you sit in your
- 39:20body will be grounded. So then you'll pull from all of
- 39:26the dimensions and it'll house it into this one vessel.
- 39:30It's almost like you know a secret that nobody knows, but
- 39:33those who know, know who knows. And you don't have to say you
- 39:36know. It's just a way of being.
- 39:39It's in the being, it's not in the doing.
- 39:42So if I were you, I would work harder on yourself and the and
- 39:47not the easier areas, the areas you're like, fuck, I don't want
- 39:51to look at that. And you find somebody that can
- 39:55pull out of you what you can't pull out of yourself.
- 39:58Because I get it, you're a High Roller.
- 40:00You get it. You get shit done.
- 40:02I can, I can already tell. Like I've been leading and
- 40:05developing leaders for over 15 years.
- 40:07So all I do is stare, study, character analysis all day long.
- 40:13You got the whole thing. So any part that you're
- 40:16avoiding, you're like, but if this is a little bit better than
- 40:21other people around me or if it's just better than I don't
- 40:24have to look at this thing. The thing that you don't want to
- 40:27look at is where your bottleneck is.
- 40:29And the moment you walk through that bottleneck and say, I
- 40:34accept all of me, I love every part of me, the shameful, the
- 40:40guilty, the ugly, the shadows, everything.
- 40:43I love this part of me. And you just give yourself soft
- 40:47power, that hard power. You got that unlocked.
- 40:51You were born into it soft power and embrace yourself in that
- 40:57way. It will start recoding the
- 41:01nervousness and the things like that because all it is, it's a
- 41:04it's a it's a it's an avoiding. It's that that's a that's a it's
- 41:09an overcompensating antic of avoidance.
- 41:13But the moment you're like, I receive all of me and I'm going
- 41:19to do whatever that's the work I'm going to do.
- 41:21You find somebody that can pull that out of you shit billion
- 41:26dollars that it's going to feel effortless.
- 41:31There will be no try in that, because now you'll be operating
- 41:34from all cylinders and not the linear one.
- 41:37The linear one will have you the the human.
- 41:41It's it's the, it's the the most limited version of your true
- 41:45self is to operate in the 3D in this linear world when we have
- 41:51all these other dimensions going at the same time.
- 41:54Yeah, Do you know William Lamb? I'm familiar of the name.
- 41:58I think he spoke at Genius at one point, but I had dinner with
- 42:02him last night I think, and he was talking about the multi
- 42:05dimensions and creating from the quantum realm and all, you know,
- 42:10all these things that I'm just now learning about and studying
- 42:13and these different ideas and perceptions.
- 42:16Yeah, don't go down the rabbit hole.
- 42:18Find a way to because it's it's an end.
- 42:21It doesn't end. Don't go down the rabbit hole.
- 42:24Find practicality in the quantum.
- 42:29This is why I work with the little kid, because the little
- 42:33kid is the quantum. So I just make it easy for
- 42:38people. I can speak into my level of
- 42:41education, but I probably reach 2% of the world's population.
- 42:47I'd rather speak into what what people can apply right now.
- 42:54The child inside of you, the one that feels seen, heard,
- 42:58mattered, safe, acknowledged, celebrated and celebrates
- 43:04themselves is the human realized version of the quantum.
- 43:13So if you tap into it, another level, another level.
- 43:18So when you were in prison, yeah, in a French prison, yeah,
- 43:24sentenced to 12 1/2 years. How did you get through that
- 43:29mentally? The first two years were really,
- 43:33really, really difficult. You ever just was waiting for
- 43:37something to happen and then you look at a clock and you watch
- 43:41the time go. It goes by really slow.
- 43:43I was watching the clock for two years in a 12 year sentence, so
- 43:51I'm not getting out. I was busted for smuggling
- 43:54freaking 6.2 kilos of heroin from one country to the next.
- 43:58I didn't know I was smuggling heroin.
- 44:00I just knew I was doing something bad in a vehicle that
- 44:04I know didn't belong to me. It turns out it was like stolen
- 44:09luxury vehicle and all these other things.
- 44:11Mind you, to this day, I've never had a sip of alcohol.
- 44:14I was like the cleanest person that you could ever, ever come
- 44:18across. And I'm in prison busted for
- 44:21drugs. So it didn't make sense to
- 44:23nobody. But everybody has a shadow self
- 44:27that that ego, I let it get the best of me.
- 44:29I'm like, ah, greed, greed, money.
- 44:31More, more, more, more will never be enough.
- 44:34And I learned that the hard way. So I'm in prison never thinking
- 44:37I'm going to get out. Then all of a sudden this we
- 44:41were able to watch movies once a month.
- 44:44Shawshank Redemption is a movie that's based out of prison.
- 44:47And Tim Robbins, which was the lead actor, he said they can
- 44:51take anything they want away from me, but they can't take
- 44:54away my mind. This is back in 2002.
- 44:57And instantly I was like, Oh my God, I know why I'm in prison
- 45:03because when I was free, I used to say I feel like I'm so far
- 45:07away from where I'm supposed to be.
- 45:09I feel like I'm in prison inside of my own body, and more was
- 45:13never enough. More.
- 45:14No, next, next. Give me the next big thing.
- 45:16Next, next, next, next. Oh, that's an endless well that
- 45:19nobody will ever fulfill because what you're ultimately saying is
- 45:23I'm not worthy of being enough. It's ultimately what that is.
- 45:28So in that moment when I know I manifested my way in prison by
- 45:35saying I'm in prison far away in France, I said, well, in that
- 45:40case I'm a free man. And then I said, what would a
- 45:43freeman do? And a voice inside.
- 45:45I need y'all to really pay attention to this.
- 45:51Everything you used to love to do as a kid that made you the
- 45:54most happy. And I literally had to jog my
- 46:00memory. What did I used?
- 46:01I used to love to sing, but I stopped because everybody told
- 46:04me to shut up. I used to love to run, but I
- 46:08stopped because it got too hard and and I wasn't I I wouldn't
- 46:11train because I was chasing women.
- 46:15And I used to love to motivate people even when I was like 5
- 46:19and 6. But I was not AI was afraid to
- 46:24speak from the heat, the the stuff that was inside that was
- 46:28saying do this even when I was a little kid.
- 46:30So I stopped doing everything that I used to love to do.
- 46:33So I'm in prison in France, thousands of miles away, serving
- 46:40a 12 year sentence. And in that moment I became a
- 46:44free man. So I was like, I wasn't doing
- 46:49that when when I was free. So I realized there's two
- 46:52different versions of freedom. So outside freedom, and there's
- 46:56the power to possess your own mind.
- 46:59There's inside freedom. Must work, must work harder on
- 47:02yourself than you do on your job.
- 47:05And I learned to forgive, forgave the two men who murdered
- 47:11my father. Letting go of all this
- 47:14resentment. I'm like writing letters.
- 47:16I'm like letting go of everything.
- 47:18Every little lie that I told, I'm like, I lied about this.
- 47:22I lied about this. I'm from elementary all the way
- 47:24up. And I was like, man.
- 47:27And I started feeling this energy.
- 47:30It's like my brain started calming down.
- 47:32I started painting portraits of other people's family members.
- 47:36And they were like, inmates. Killers were like, happy, thank
- 47:40you so much. And they're like, can I get you
- 47:42anything? In my head?
- 47:43I'm like, no, I just want you to be happy.
- 47:46So I just kept overflowing from what I was giving myself.
- 47:50First. I need everybody to hear this.
- 47:53Everyone outside of me benefited from my overflow that I gave to
- 47:58myself. First they didn't get from my
- 48:01exhaust. Now I couldn't see that this is
- 48:04as I connect the dots looking backwards of my life.
- 48:08But I was in the fullest expression, a little Garen who
- 48:16was just doing everything he loved to do.
- 48:18That made him the most happy when I felt free.
- 48:23Everybody please listen to this. Not when I was fighting for
- 48:27freedom. You can't fight for something
- 48:30that only you can give to yourself in prison.
- 48:36That's when I became free. Listen to the irony in losing my
- 48:42freedom. I discovered my freedom.
- 48:46And when I felt free. It's about 2 1/2 years and they
- 48:50magically called me into the office.
- 48:54They had no reason. They already tested the drugs. 3
- 48:56* 6.2 kilos of heroin and all of a sudden I'm in a completely
- 49:00different field, completely different state, frequency,
- 49:03vibration. I'm resonating around the entire
- 49:07prison. Jones.
- 49:09We retested the drugs and for the amount that was real, you've
- 49:13already done the time. 90% was fake.
- 49:17You're free to go home. Oh my God.
- 49:21So since 2005, I traveled all over the world and invested and
- 49:27studied under some of the greatest minds, the greatest
- 49:30spiritual teachers trying to figure out what was that
- 49:34powerful that it can override anything that a human can set in
- 49:41stone. Kept coming back to energy,
- 49:44frequency vibration. So I found a palpable way to
- 49:52teach it through the inner child.
- 49:56So the resonance that you feel is the field that I play in on a
- 50:03daily basis. And it just allows me to be in
- 50:08the world and experience myself. And it's true.
- 50:14There's no and any anytime weeds want to come up.
- 50:18I, I have the right people in my life that hold me high.
- 50:22I do not surround myself around yes people.
- 50:26I have the accountability group. I have the right coaches.
- 50:31I keep outgrowing my coaches. But like, fuck it, that's a
- 50:34you'll know you need to get a new one.
- 50:36So, but it, but it's, it's, it is what it is.
- 50:40And so when it's time to grow, it's time to find the right
- 50:44teachers. And I always find the right
- 50:47teachers because they just like show up when my soul is is is
- 50:51requesting. How have you maintained this
- 50:56state of connection and play and inner child while still building
- 51:03big companies? Because I.
- 51:05Community, but I also built my also build companies around the
- 51:11inner child. Yeah, like literally built a
- 51:14company called Artist Power that teaches on every level you can
- 51:19possibly think of ways to tap in to your original state and then
- 51:25thrive from that power. And so everything I do must
- 51:30contain everything that I am. I'm no longer going to
- 51:34sacrifice. There's no I got a couple of
- 51:38patents and a couple of things coming out, but it was little
- 51:42Garen who created them. And what do I do?
- 51:45Surround myself by other people who are in that vibration.
- 51:51That is the quickest way to rise, to compress timeframes to
- 51:58be held and hold the frequency over a long period of time.
- 52:01When you're not the only one, you're not the most powerful
- 52:04person in the room when there's other, when you're surrounded by
- 52:06The Avengers of consciousness and you're like, oh shit, we can
- 52:09all learn from each other and we're all rising together
- 52:12because that shared economy. I, I mean, I took it from when I
- 52:15first started investing five years ago and I was investing in
- 52:20this toy company and I was like, I just love how I feel when I'm
- 52:24playing with the toy and then I'm in Austin.
- 52:26Then all of a sudden I looked under the deck and I saw all the
- 52:28people. I was like, wait, these are all
- 52:30my friends. It's like, wait a second.
- 52:32They're all investing into everybody's everything and
- 52:35everybody's rising simultaneously.
- 52:38And I was like, oh, I like this lesson.
- 52:41I want to create community communities where everybody's
- 52:44investing in everybody's, everything.
- 52:47So everybody transforms together.
- 52:49And that's how I do it. Everything that I create has the
- 52:55seed of everything that I'm talking about.
- 52:58Even if it's like a leadership, something talking about
- 53:01business, it's not the analytical part of the business,
- 53:06it's the leadership. Lead yourself into a vibration
- 53:10and discover your soul and reimagine your soul in a way
- 53:15that you couldn't even fathom because you can't see the soul.
- 53:18Well, my role is every soul has a map and every map needs a
- 53:24guide and teach people how to turn on the flashlight to their
- 53:28soul. And I'll be like this right
- 53:29here. This is the pattern that's
- 53:31showing up in your life and this.
- 53:34So even in that high level leadership I work with like high
- 53:38founders and CFOs, they only get they only get that part, the
- 53:43soul reimagined program, that's only it's like people doing big
- 53:48shit. They only get that.
- 53:49I don't do that for somebody who's just learning.
- 53:52I think what's mindset, they won't get that version of me
- 53:56because this version of me is it's, it's, it's designed for
- 54:00very high caliber people. So we can meet the rhythm of
- 54:05your high caliber, but also have you to understand your system,
- 54:10your system and how you operate like you understand your
- 54:12business's system. But when both of them are being
- 54:17held by the same resonance, now you're not in conflict.
- 54:23It actually becomes part of the same vibrational unit.
- 54:27And that's how I do it. I'm not separate on any occasion
- 54:32to anything that I create. That's why I can do 15 things
- 54:35like, but you never get tired though.
- 54:37There's more power in the ocean than there are the river.
- 54:41So why don't I just focus on the deep well that feeds all the
- 54:46rivers? Yeah, that's amazing.
- 54:48You're just amazing. I, I want to continue to grow in
- 54:53that space of, you know, connection, abundance, vibrance,
- 54:58creation, play, all these things.
- 55:00And I feel so good when I'm really connected to my inner
- 55:04self. Yeah.
- 55:06And then there's level 10 EOS meetings with KPIs and metrics
- 55:09and this and that. And, you know, you kind of, you
- 55:12know, are we hitting our goal? Are we on track?
- 55:13What is our lead flow? What's our dollar, what's our
- 55:15expenses, all these things. And so you know.
- 55:18What I'm doing that? What?
- 55:21It's the power of delegation and I will train somebody and I will
- 55:27shadow. I will have somebody shadow me.
- 55:30I was like, now watch how I do it.
- 55:32Like yes, I'm fun and play and everything, but my high level
- 55:36ticket sells 94%. It's unheard of.
- 55:39Even with ticket like 100. And I mean $40,000.
- 55:43You want to work with me? 12 sessions, $140,000, boom.
- 55:48They're like how did you do like five of those?
- 55:50And like I was like, because it's not the dollar, it's the
- 55:53resonance. But I'm also the CFO and I mean
- 55:59CEO and founder of like two different companies.
- 56:02So it's like KPI was like, Nope, I need somebody to do that, but
- 56:05I need somebody who gets life from it.
- 56:09So I will hire somebody that that's their GI can do it and I
- 56:13can do it very well, but it drains me.
- 56:15So I will put the money into the person that that part gives them
- 56:21life. And all of a sudden I have
- 56:23spaciousness. Oh shit, a new invention just
- 56:25came about. Oh wait, what do I do with this?
- 56:28I want to spend more time with my family.
- 56:30OK, so let's I'm doing too much here.
- 56:34That's draining me. Who can hold the resonance?
- 56:38So now it's all about finding the right resonance.
- 56:43It's not the best person for the job.
- 56:46You look at their paper. It's no who can hold the
- 56:49resonance of what you teach them and maintain that vibration.
- 56:55And that's something that people don't because I've I coach
- 56:57founders all day long. And the moment they crack this
- 57:00code with finding the person that can hold the resonance,
- 57:04they're like, fuck Garrett that only took a month.
- 57:07I've been doing this for 15 years.
- 57:09And I mean, these are like, I have a client that's worth $950
- 57:13million and I shared this with him.
- 57:15He was like, bro, one month everything and more time with my
- 57:18family, more of this and I can work out again.
- 57:20And I don't have to do that. But they're, they were looking
- 57:24for the right person, but they didn't know about the residents
- 57:29conversation. So if the person that you're
- 57:32looking for, you always feel it, it's kind of like right now you
- 57:36and I are talking and it's that the magnetation just grows.
- 57:39It's natural. You know, you have to, you
- 57:41didn't have to try it. So when there's a resonance
- 57:44there, that's what you trust, that's what you invest in.
- 57:52That's exactly the energy of people is exactly how I grow my
- 57:56team. It's, it's not necessarily their
- 57:59resume or their skill set or I mean, obviously there has to be
- 58:01skills and some sort of knowledge, but the energy is
- 58:05what you is a lot harder to teach like somebody to be
- 58:09connected and positive and vibrate at a high frequency.
- 58:12And, and, but I find it, it's beautiful.
- 58:15I'm so grateful for social media because as I've recently started
- 58:19to just share my journey that I'm currently in and always will
- 58:23be on with others on social media, It's attracted people
- 58:27that resonate with me to me versus before I had that I was
- 58:33like, how do I find these people?
- 58:35Because you and I both know not everybody out there is, you
- 58:38know, on self actualized and vibrating at a high frequency.
- 58:42And so how do you find those people at scale throughout your
- 58:47organization? So here's a there's a guy named
- 58:49Wafik. He's our community manager.
- 58:53I did everything. I was like, oh, hired this
- 58:56person, went through LinkedIn and everything.
- 58:58I'm doing all this other stuff, the bells and whistles.
- 59:00I'm like, that's not it. Meanwhile, I have a retreat and
- 59:05there's this random dude that posts every single day.
- 59:10Nobody asked him good morning everybody and hyping people up.
- 59:14And all of a sudden he was like 10 days to the retreat, got to
- 59:18get ready. And everybody's like, Oh my God,
- 59:20thank you, Wafik. And I was just like.
- 59:26You. Hidden in plain sight is person
- 59:31that just needed someone to see them in something that was
- 59:35already natural for them. So I said, Wafik, how would you
- 59:40like to be the community manager at Artist Power?
- 59:44He starts crying. Oh my God, thank you so much.
- 59:47He was like, what would I need to do?
- 59:49Everything you're already doing, it's my job to spot.
- 59:55So if I'm looking around like there might be somebody
- 59:58sweeping. But every time they come into a
- 1:00:02room, they got the best energy. Maybe this would be the person
- 1:00:07that opens up the calls every time, because every time they
- 1:00:10come into a room, the energy elevates.
- 1:00:13Sometimes people don't even know what their genius is.
- 1:00:16So as a genius spotter, my job is to recognize something that
- 1:00:21people are naturally doing in my everyday life.
- 1:00:25They're not trying to do it. You always know.
- 1:00:28It's like, oh, I'm getting more money now, watch me work.
- 1:00:31I'm like, yo, your genius can be paid for.
- 1:00:34My genius can't be. My programs can be paid for.
- 1:00:36But my genius, I will freely give it out all day long because
- 1:00:40it's natural to me. So I watch.
- 1:00:44And just like Pat or Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant and Michael
- 1:00:49Jordan. So it's clear that he has an eye
- 1:00:53for noticing certain characters about people.
- 1:00:56So Starbucks, anywhere I start noticing somebody's like, yo,
- 1:01:01they like a really good attitude.
- 1:01:04How would you like an opportunity to bop, bop, bop,
- 1:01:07bop to do what you give them? They get more money they've ever
- 1:01:11made before. They get somebody to that
- 1:01:14actually celebrates and acknowledges their genius.
- 1:01:17They're surrounded by an organization that pride
- 1:01:20themselves on making people feel better about themselves.
- 1:01:25And so that's what I do. I make it a mission to pay
- 1:01:30attention to how people do what they naturally do without having
- 1:01:36the carrot in front of them. So yeah, I can do that.
- 1:01:41No, you can't. But this person who's already
- 1:01:43doing it, it's like, man, every time.
- 1:01:47Every, every single time. I was at a retreat one time
- 1:01:52facilitating something and there was a cook chopping watermelon.
- 1:01:58I'm like, there's something about this dude that I can't.
- 1:02:01There's like this powerful attraction.
- 1:02:05There's a magnetic energy, some of it, but it's just, you know,
- 1:02:08I was just nothing. It got like really the trauma
- 1:02:13overflowed and it was crazy. We actually needed more
- 1:02:15guardians, which is like facilitate Co facilitators.
- 1:02:19And all of a sudden I was like feel this heat behind me and all
- 1:02:21of a sudden I turn around and the cook has a drum in his hand
- 1:02:26and he's gritting the entire room as I'm doing it.
- 1:02:30And I walked up to him afterwards.
- 1:02:31I said bro you ain't no cook bro, you're so much more.
- 1:02:38He was like, and I said, I want you to come be one of the
- 1:02:42guardians. I will play with you any any
- 1:02:45day, any day in any Galaxy. Come be one of the guardians at
- 1:02:50our next retreat. And he's been with us ever
- 1:02:53since. And this dude, but his whole
- 1:02:55life has transformed from that one moment.
- 1:03:00That's how you do it. It's like I make it a mission to
- 1:03:04see the unseen, hear the unheard, feel the unfelt.
- 1:03:07And then I'll say something. And the moment I say something,
- 1:03:12there's a oh, wow, wait, you see me this way.
- 1:03:16But you're the one that's like, on all TV's and in movies and
- 1:03:20stuff. Yeah, I see you.
- 1:03:23And I want to put you in a position so that you can thrive
- 1:03:29and not just do shit for money. So good I got to stay to energy.
- 1:03:37Yeah, yeah. And the more you I what I found,
- 1:03:40I know we have to wrap up here, but the more you step into your
- 1:03:44highest expression of yourself, the more you magnetize that.
- 1:03:49Yeah, and the more the this galactic plane will will reveal
- 1:03:55itself to you. And so you'll have access to
- 1:04:00more insights and awareness is the deeper you go in yourself
- 1:04:05because as above, so below, as within, so without.
- 1:04:09And so all of a sudden you start seeing a world that you saw last
- 1:04:13week. But everybody's different.
- 1:04:16No, you're different. Life's not happening to you.
- 1:04:18It's responding to you. It's beautiful.
- 1:04:21It's so beautiful what you can create and in order for the
- 1:04:24doors to open and the opportunities in the future that
- 1:04:27you want and the present that you want to be yours, you have
- 1:04:31to step into the highest expression of yourself and into
- 1:04:35your your power artist power baby.
- 1:04:39You got the whole thing. It is that.
- 1:04:41It is that little kid in their fullest expression, but taking
- 1:04:47that energy and channeling it inside of whatever you do,
- 1:04:52that's where the strata, that's where the stratospheres happen
- 1:04:57and whatever that means to you. Yeah, people sometimes tell me
- 1:05:01they're like, oh, you, just you, you, you, you have too much,
- 1:05:04like fun in your business. Like you're too big of a
- 1:05:07dreamer. Or I've heard that a couple
- 1:05:09times, like you're like a little bit childish sometimes my tone
- 1:05:13or my playfulness or things like that.
- 1:05:15And I'm like, I want to build this.
- 1:05:17And they're like. Freaking stay there, my friend.
- 1:05:20That's the little kid that said I want to be a superhero.
- 1:05:23Yeah, when I get older. Yeah, get a real life, but you
- 1:05:27know, I want to be stronger than the average man, have ABS like
- 1:05:31an action figure, save and change lives all all over the
- 1:05:34world. Interesting how I've travelled
- 1:05:36to 97 countries, spoke to millions of people, saving and
- 1:05:41changing lives all over the world.
- 1:05:42Oh my goodness, the dreamer, it happened.
- 1:05:47So when you're doing that, yo, you stay in that pocket,
- 1:05:50surround yourself around other. If they're saying find some
- 1:05:53other people that'll be like you go girl that will champion that,
- 1:05:56because with the little kids running, you say, oh, go Johnny,
- 1:06:00he runs faster. So the person that's calibrated
- 1:06:04enough to catch those moments and then champion you is only
- 1:06:08going to have you be more of who you already are.
- 1:06:13Thank you. So to wrap up, if you could go
- 1:06:17back to little Garen. He's here, but yeah, let's do
- 1:06:21it. Well, if you could go back when
- 1:06:23you were little Garen, what would you tell him?
- 1:06:27I'm the one in the future that has been whispering secrets this
- 1:06:37entire time. Keep going, I got your back.
- 1:06:45You're amazing.
