• 1:42
  SPEAKER_04: Like we we were in the call at the college for a year together, but we never knew each other in college.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's kind of funny because I saw him at the Mule Speeds and we were talking about it what last week.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh yeah, I remember you were up there.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_02: But uh yeah, graduated from southern Arkansas, um, played football there.

  SPEAKER_02: Uh so that was pretty cool.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um got done with football, and I was kind of looking for something to do.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_02: So I ran a 50-mile race with Texas Outlaw running before I started working here.

  SPEAKER_04: Well, team captain of SOU football team.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I mean, that's something, yeah.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_04: Um, you're freaking built.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_04: Like you're disciplined with your food.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_04: Uh you show up every day with deer meat and rice.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_03: That is driving in the fridge right now.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_04: And what'd that guy say to you at the gym the other day?
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_04: He was like, Are you natural or something?
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, bro.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_02: He was like, Man, what do I gotta do to look like that?
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, bro, just eat good and work out all the time.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_02: He's like, bro, you're not you're not on anything.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, nah, dude, this is hard work.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: You're not shooting nothing up.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, bro, this is just hard work, brother.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I mean, a lot of people say, you know, like, bro, like, you look good, man.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: Like, what should I do?
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: What should I do?
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, bro, it's just work hard, man.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: Just break.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: Go to the gym, work hard, run, eat good, eat clean, be disciplined in all aspects.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_04: So you a hybrid athlete.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_04: You run, you ran 50 mile race and you're freaking shredded.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I appreciate it, man.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, man.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_04: Um, so like the biggest thing I noticed about you is you're not you're not like most people.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and you just have like we really bounce off each other really well because we both have the similar outlooks on life and our perspectives, but like you're a dog, dude.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, bro.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_04: You're a dog, man.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_04: You're a dog.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_04: And uh you just get things done, man, and then when you get it done, you're like not ashamed to celebrate it.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_04: And uh and it's it's cool to see, man.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah um I guess like where does that where does that come from, man?
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_04: Because most people, to me, most people I meet, they they don't have that confidence.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_04: They don't have the um they don't get things done.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_04: Like the title of this podcast is to get her done, but people you have to like people struggle to get things done.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, um, but you do it with confidence, you jump right in there, you freaking get it done, and then you tackle it, and then you celebrate it, and then you get back at it.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, like like let me ask you this.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_04: Why do you think people don't live a life like that?
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I think laziness is a big thing.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: Um call them lazy turds, man.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like lazy turds, man.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: So we gotta get away from them.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: But uh no, I think it's just through through all the disciplines in life, um, it's not about one certain thing.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: It's not about me going to the gym, it's not about you know running, it's not about any of that.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's just about stacking little wins throughout the day.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: And then, like I always say to you, like make your bed first thing in the morning.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's a key thing, and that, you know, that's the first first thing people can do, you know, just instead of waking up and rolling out of bed and making breakfast, just make your bed because that's you know, that's the first task of the day.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: And then that kind of gives you you're like, all right, I did something.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_02: Now what else can I do?
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: So just like little key disciplines, and then you just do it for a long period of time, and you know, it's you look back and you're like, dang, I did all this and all that.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: But it's always like you never, you never like finished, like there's always more to do.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I think people a lot of times they'll they'll have an accomplishment and they'll, like you said, you know, getting a permit and get fired up for a little bit, but it's right back to it, because there's more permits to get, there's more races to to do.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_02: So I think just not being stagnant and always looking for work, um, yeah, I mean it just comes through hard work and just years and years and years of disciplining yourself to do things that you don't necessarily want to do by doing that.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_02: So, what call like for me, man?
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_04: Like I naturally, and you've put this on your weekly report, and I'm the same way, but like naturally, if there's a problem, me personally, I'm like, man, I'm gonna freaking tackle that problem.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and like I'm gonna run right through it.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you put on your weekly report, you put on there if there's a firefighter, I'm gonna run to it because I'm a firefighter.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_04: If there's a fire, I'm gonna run to it because I'm a firefighter.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_04: Uh and most people, man, there's a fire, they run away.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, bro, isn't that?
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_04: And then you put on there, if you get in a fight with the grizzly bear, make sure the bear's okay.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_04: You put this on as a weekly work report, bro.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_04: Uh look realistically, man, do you think that's a personality thing?
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_04: Do you think that's self-made, that mentality?
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_04: Do you think that's a learned behavior, or do you think it's just like a is it is that a behavior you learn and are adapted, you adapt to, or is that a behavior that is natural from the womb?
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_02: Um, honestly, I think it's a it's a learned behavior.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: I think it can be from the womb, but I think for me personally, it's a it's a learned behavior.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: Like I wasn't always, you know, the type of person that's like, hey, get after it, go, go do it.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, you just like I was saying earlier, you just stack daily wins and then you look back and you're like, man, I did all this, like what else can I do?
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: And then the whole you just slowly build confidence when you do do stuff like that.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: And I think the whole thing about, you know, if there's a fire, I'm running to it, not from it.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: It's like you gotta, you gotta tackle the problems.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_02: Like you can't, you can't go around them, you can't avoid them, because they're gonna be there at the end of the day.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: So you gotta, you gotta face them and and deal with them.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: Like it the easiest thing to do is run from problems and run from adversity, but you don't grow as a person when you're doing that.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's the key to life for most everybody is growing as an individual.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like just see how how much you can maximize your potential.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I think if people realize that and they really attack their problems, that they would realize, like, oh, there's really not that many problems.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I think or they think, oh, that was easier than I thought.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_02: I think a lot of times, and we've talked about this before, but a lot of times we we as humans we always expect the worst.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, the other day, the other day I'll tell you this, Garrett, because you're behind the camera.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_04: But the other day, I I uh we had this race thing going on, and um basically there's this guy that we're doing this race with this event series with, and I I really needed to do it our way because our way works.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and that's why we were working with this guy to make his events bigger.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_04: And so he I mentioned it to him and he didn't really say anything, he kind of ghosted me on it.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_04: And so I went to Braden, I was like, dude, it's like I'm about to make this phone call, it's about to it's about to be bad.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_04: I make the phone call, and the guy on the phone is like, oh yeah, sure, whatever.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_04: That's good, cool, sounds good, looking forward to it.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_04: It was the easiest phone call ever.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_04: And I and uh I talked to Brayden, I was like, dude, I was like, humans always assume the worst.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_04: And also, like we had a little incident happen last week where we thought we thought we were you know in trouble, yeah, um, and uh we had messed up.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_04: Turns out it wasn't nothing.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_04: It wasn't nothing, and and we got a good plan together now.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_04: So um, so anyways, like yeah, we definitely do always assume the worst, and it's always not as bad as we think it's gonna be.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_04: I'll give another example.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_04: Like, I just finished up uh one of the biggest um uh things for our company we've ever done as far as our new membership model.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_04: I finished that last night, but before that, before I finished it, I like kept running into this problem of like I needed it to look a certain way, but I couldn't get it to work right, like the website.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_04: And so I had it on my to-do list for a few days.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_04: And then it I when I finally got time to like attack this thing, because it was bothering me, it was bothering me so much, it felt like a little needle on my side.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_04: I needed to get this thing done.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_04: And I ended up figuring it out, and uh um I just pushed into it and it ended up not being as bad as I thought as far as getting it all together.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_04: It was easier than I thought it would be.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_04: Um and I think it goes back to like our value of like be comfortable getting uncomfortable.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_04: Because when you attack problems on a regular basis and you become accustomed and comforted to attacking problems, yeah, yeah.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_04: And when you become comfortable to that, it's like, oh, it's just another day.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_04: So it might take one whole day to do one to tackle one really hard challenge, but if you do it consistently, you can get to where you can tackle 10 big challenges in one day.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_04: It's pretty cool.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_04: No, it is, absolutely.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_04: But uh Yeah, man, I just um one of the biggest things that um just like working with you is there really is um and I feel like all of our episodes keep tying back to this problem of of a uh people man just like not waking up.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_04: Like um, but you have something that like a 99% of people don't have.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_04: And you have that like almost like a self-spark, like a almost like a like you don't need somebody to put a spark in you, you already got it.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, like you can self-spark yourself.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_04: Like if you need to get something done or you want to attack something or make yourself better, it's like it's an automatic let's do it.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_04: And it's like a it really kind of spreads.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_04: Like that little spark spreads, but like, why do you think people don't don't get that spark?
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I think it just comes down to ambition.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_02: Like, if I could put all that into one word, it's like ambition.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_02: I think a lot of people, like I always think about this a lot, is like when when people were little, they didn't, they weren't like, oh, my dream job is to work in the office, not your problem.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: That's my dream job right there.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody if you did that and you're doing that, hey, congrats, you did it.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_02: But nobody, nobody was doing that.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_02: So I think it just comes down to ambition and asking yourself at the end of the day, like, what do you really want out of life?
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: Like, where do you want to be?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_02: Like, how do you want your future to look?
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_02: Because anybody, and this sounds so cliche, but it's so true.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: Like, anybody can change their future.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like, all you have to do is stack days.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's literally it, dude.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like, stack days upon days, and you look back and all these days, and you're like, Wow, now I'm here.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_04: That's literally the last episode we were talking about.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_04: I hadn't talked about how a lot of these people working every day, they're not building anything for a bigger picture thing.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_04: And um, you know, when you ask somebody, hey, what have you done last this past year?
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_04: Like, what have you done this past week?
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_04: And they're like, oh, just working.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's like, dude, like, come on, man.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: I I know you didn't, you know, you don't just want to work your life away.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: And I understand you gotta work.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I understand that, but at the same time, you gotta build yourself.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I heard this thing a while ago, and it was like, work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, I don't I think I work pretty hard on my job, so you could just imagine the work that I put into myself.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_04: With how we work here, when you work on your job, you work on yourself.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_04: Exactly.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_04: And when you work on yourself, you get better at your job.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_04: Yep, exactly.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's just the big thing is like once people learn, like, you know, it's you.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_02: It's literally it's in you.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_02: Like, whatever you want out of this life, you can do.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_02: You just gotta understand and and look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, like, what do I really want?
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: Like, what what is the end goal for me?
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_02: And then once you reach those goals, then through all that the process, you're like, man, that I'm at where I wanted to be at, but it's not it's not as fulfilling as I thought it was, and it's it just comes down to the process of it.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like when I was in high school, I was like, man, I just want to go play college football.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_02: Like, that's all I want to do.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: And then I got there and I played, graduated, and then walking across the stage, I was like, well, now what?
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like I did what I wanted to do, but like, you know, in the back of my mind, I'm like, all right, there's there's more to do, there's more to life.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta get out there and find something to do.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_02: And it's always it's just an ambition thing, bro.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_04: Like, what are you uh like what so what's some like big picture big picture stuff that you're chasing after?
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_04: Because I think the root of a spark is knowing where you want to go and and where you want to be.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and that motivates you to like to be better.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_04: And so for you realistically and physically, like if you could teleport to your to your ultimate ideal self, yeah.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_04: What what do you have and what do you what do you look like and what kind of person are you?
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I think for me personally, like, you know, you could look at things that money can buy and you can be like, okay, this will motivate me.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't think that's a that can motivate you, but I don't think that's a good way to have an outlook.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_02: So like for me personally, something that I really want to pride myself on, say like 50 years, I want somebody to be able to know, like when they call me, like I'm gonna have, I'm gonna have the energy that they always remembered.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm gonna be somebody that they can talk to and kind of get some life advice for from and um just kinda, you know, just be a good dude.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um, spread positivity, like that's a big thing.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_02: And it always comes back to you, bro.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_02: Like you you spread it enough, it's gonna come right back.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_02: And I think just putting good things out there and just keep developing as a person, like in 50 years, there's no telling where I'm gonna be.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: So like there's like I said earlier, there's not one end goal, like, you know, I could make 50 million dollars and and nobody would know.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_02: Like I'm gonna still be driving that blue car out there.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: Like nobody would know, man.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I think it's just Well, talk about talk about your your land and horses.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_02: Because that's a that's a passion of yours.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: That is gonna happen.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I love horses.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: For everybody out there, I love horses, man.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so yeah, I mean, I'm gonna have land.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna have land to put the horses on and build a house on.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and then obviously, like land for my kids to run around on.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: I don't have any kids right now.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: But so wife, kids, land, horses.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, wife, kid, land, horses.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_02: That's all in the yeah, that's all in the future plans.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_02: And it will happen, but I think those are like those happen in the process of developing yourself.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like you can't put a timeline on things like that.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_02: So, like, yeah, I'd like I'd love to sit here and say, yeah, next two years I'm gonna have land.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna have horses.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'd love to sit here and say that, but yeah, I don't know that for certain.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: But I know for certain that I can work on myself every day for the next two years.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: And there's no telling who I meet or what happens in the next two years.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_02: So that's just kind of how I look on life, take one day at a time and keep building yourself up, and eventually, you know, things will work out.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, they're working out now, so yeah.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_04: Um I what I like though is you you said like you said like I will.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_04: You said I will I'll I'll have to do it.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's not a yeah, it's not a woman.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_02: It's a it's gonna happen.
• 17:02
  unknown: Yeah.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_02: That's uh that's a I think another big thing is that's how people need to talk too.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_02: Like they don't, you know, if they want something to happen, they're like, oh man, I hope this happens.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: I hope this happens.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_02: But if you if you speak it and you act like you have it already, it's gonna happen, dude.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's a law of attraction, man.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_02: I can go, we can go on a two-hour podcast about the law of attraction, man.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_04: But so I was on uh do you know who Alex Remozzi is?
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_04: Alex Thermozi, I don't know.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_04: He's a big entrepreneur.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_04: Do you know who he is, Gary?
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_04: So I went to his headquarters in Las Vegas in December.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_04: And uh he's um he manages uh, I think$500 million business portfolio.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_04: Um I went to his headquarters in in I think December, and I learned from his team.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_04: And uh it was funny because I was there, and at the time when I was there, our business was like it was good enough to be there, but it wasn't like top dog there.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_04: And when I was there, I knew where we were and I knew where we would be.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_04: And I was trying to, I was sitting there talking to a guy and I was trying to explain it to him, but I was like, do you ever have this do you do you experience this feeling where it's not even a feeling, but this perspective where you know where you are, you know where you're gonna be, you know you the things you need to do to get to where you need to go, and it's just time that's limiting you.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_04: And it's like you already know, like when I was sitting there at that conference, I already knew where we were gonna be in six months.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_04: I was like, we're gonna double in six months.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_04: I already know that.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_04: And I already know what we need to do to do it, and we're going to do it.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_04: And it was funny because when I was there, it was this weird uh and then we had like a business consultant come in like a few months before that, and they were like asking me what like where we were at with things, and even then I was like, they asked a question, what's limiting you from being where you want to take your business?
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_04: And I remember thinking time and people.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's it.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_04: Um, you got it, Garrett.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know what's going on.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_04: Probably some homeless dude.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_04: Dude, okay, hold on.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_04: Let's take a pause real quick on this podcast.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_04: Bro, we are we are on Highway 80 here in Longview, and there are homeless people walking past this place every day.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_04: Everywhere, and they just walk in and talk about random stuff.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: I had a dude come in, what was it, last Thursday or Wednesday?
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_02: And he was like, hey man, you got you got change for 20 bucks?
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, I honestly I didn't even have change for 20 bucks.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: Like, you know, so I was like, no, sir, I don't.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_02: Is that a homeless guy?
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_04: Did you did he leave?
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: It was talking to him.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_04: So he didn't leave.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: I think he left.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, he left?
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think so.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, so we went.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_04: So there's a we probably get a homeless person uh three times a week.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_04: So we've gotten a now we have to lock our door.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_04: And I was wondering why this place was looking cheap for rent, as far as like compared to everywhere else.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_04: Makes sense now.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_04: I know why they moved out now.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, dude.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_04: All these people wouldn't just walk you.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_04: It's crazy.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_02: Is it I don't I didn't even know that was a thing, like to just for people just to walk in, be like, oh yeah, they're open.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_02: Let me walk in and get to talk.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't know.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_04: We need to put a sign on the door that says uh office only, do not enter, or something like that.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_04: That'd probably help.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_04: And then he had mentioned putting a buzzer on the door.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_02: I think we're yeah, I heard him say that when he came in.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_04: I put it on my to-do list to get a buzzer.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: There you go.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_04: But yeah, we need to do something, man.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_04: These people just walk up in and start talking about truck stops.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, bro.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_01: This guy, dude, I don't know, man.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: Briston came and saved the day.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, hey man, we gotta get to work.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, there's this guy.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_04: I was standing behind him.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_04: So this homeless guy walked in, and I heard him walk in.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_04: I was like, who is that?
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_04: So I walk in there, and Braden starts talking to him, and I'm sitting, I'm standing behind this guy.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_04: He he doesn't even know I'm there.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_04: And uh I'm thinking, I was like, I'm not gonna be rude, I'm gonna let him finish his conversation.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_04: And this was the day where like we were getting stuff done.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_04: And uh, so this homeless guy, he was like, uh he had finished his conversation, but then he was starting another one.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_04: And right when he was starting another one, after talking about some truck stop, um, I as soon as he started his next conversation, I said, Hey man, sorry to interrupt.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_04: I said, Listen, we gotta get some work done.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, um, can I ask you to leave?
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_04: And he was like, Oh, yeah.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_04: And he just walked out the door, I closed it, locked it, and then uh he went on with his day.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_04: And then we will have some people just stop in and be like, What are y'all doing here?
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_04: Like they'll they'll be driving, they'll be driving to work, and then they'll stop at our business and be like, What is this?
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, what are y'all doing here?
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_01: Um guys, we're working, man.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_04: And at first we kept the doors open because we were like, Um, we might get some customers, but then we were getting just everyone was a non-customer and they were just interrupting our work.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_04: And so we're on a highway 80 in Long View, Texas, and Highway 80 in Longview, Texas is known for homeless people and prostitutes.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_04: And it's like we them busting up in here yeah man dude it's like an everyday thing bro and then i you'll you work right by the window and so he'll be sitting there he'll be sitting there and uh he there's like a hundred people probably a hundred people that walk just across the highway they're just walking doing nothing yeah nothing dude i see a couple runners but 90 of the time it's literally just people walking back and forth like dude I've seen this guy like five times what are you doing where are you going talk about man yeah uh wasting all that energy walking across the street colly bro yeah man uh that's an interesting topic people experiencing homelessness and stuff it's anyways it is love yeah so that's our that's our office life man we got a homeless dude walking in once a once a day yeah you know what the crazy thing is I would love to help them man but you can't give them money because they don't help them you got to get them plugged into sub program which I don't know of any around here um I know there's highway rescue mission across the street but that the homeless people that go there are the same ones that walk in yeah it's like they're avoiding that just come right up here bro it's like bro go to Highway across the street there's a homeless shelter which is why we have so much homeless walking around yeah because they they probably get tired of sitting there and want to go walk yeah um I I would love to help them out I just don't know how to uh that's something I want to work on in the future like I talked about next year our business doing ministry next year yeah and one of the things I want to do is create some sort of program to help people get off of drugs off the streets yeah um get them back into a normal good place in life and then uh hit the ground running kind of disciple people um and my wife and I talked about putting together a program like that because there was this lady at church we were this is kind of crazy we were at church there's this lady who has really bad past life um we were praying for her bro and uh I started saying like I command any unclean spirits to leave in the name of Jesus and she started like twitching and manifesting and stuff it's kind of crazy but I felt bad because she needed deliverance yeah from she had some spiritual stuff going on.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_04: She needed deliverance she needed to actually get plugged into a program that can actually help her get off her feet and help her out and at the time when I was praying over her nothing was really happening.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_04: I really needed like a few like a few hour session with her to really help her out and I took her to a church staff member and I don't know what happened after that but I felt bad being like man I don't have uh I don't have the ability to help this like I can't plug this person in help them out.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_02: Well I would I'd say you did help her out just by praying over her bro.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah I mean she didn't she didn't get delivered because I was praying like that she'd be delivered from because she was definitely up either oppressed or possessed by something and uh it it wasn't coming off of her because she probably had some sin she was still struggling with um or she had some maybe she had some unforgiveness or maybe she had some sort of something that was separating or allowing whatever that spiritual force was to hold on to it.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_04: But she she I wanted to help her out but we only had five minutes and it was just like yeah I don't know.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_04: But anyways yeah all these homeless guys walking in here I I'd love to help them out but it's like I don't know yeah they're other than hey go to highway 80 rescue mission across the street I don't know what else to tell them I can't really do much for you.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah I'm not sure how to help the homeless guys out but it is what it is.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah but that's a fun part of the office life yeah um yeah the other fun part is you howling and barking and uh yelling every time you get a permit or something yeah dog you gotta bring that energy man that's what it's about bro gotta be loud man spread that positive energy bro it goes a long way so I was just telling Sam last week like she because she said something she's like basically she's like you know it's just it's different having you in the office like a good difference.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_04: Dude so I've noticed since you've been here Sam's been working harder.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_02: I'm telling you dog you you get a thoroughbred around around some thoroughbreds man hey it goes a long way bro it it definitely helps I've said that to you before like your environment and just the people you keep around you and and you know things like that like it goes a long way and you don't even realize it like I just had a buddy call me yesterday doesn't run like he worked out played played football and stuff but not a runner by any means and he called me he was like hey man I just did a three mile run bro that's awesome I was like sweet man he was like yeah I was giving you a call man just letting you know I was like hey I'm glad you called me bro like keep it up man keep it up so yeah it's just and that's the other thing too just having an impact bro like being a positive impact on people and then you get phone calls like that like you know your your buddies or people you don't even know they're like hey man just watching you from a distance bro you help me out man so that's that's something I I love and I hope continues to happen for the rest of my life.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah I got so I've gotten a few messages from guys in college uh really just people I know in general but this past year I've gotten a few a handful of messages of people who maybe I preached uh shared the gospel with them or um had answered some questions they had about the faith um but anyways a lot of these guys who I haven't even talked to in a few years I've had a lot of them text me and be like hey I gave my life to Christ like thanks for talking but like that's awesome same thing dude it's like they I planted that seed that they saw the life I was living and then I also um like I helped them out wherever I could and then they ended up giving their life to Christ a few years later and they reach out and it's cool because there's a guy in high school that I went to high school with he was that guy for me his name is Dwayne Wilson and he was out Dwayne.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah shout out to Dwayne he he he was a year younger than me in high school but he didn't party didn't get drunk never cussed he went to church he sang in the choir yeah but he was like this manly dude yeah and uh anyways I remember I literally this is terrible I remember in high school like kind of making fun of him for not doing anything fun and um when I gave my life to Christ like two years later when I was in college I ended up texting back and I was like dude thank you for being a light of Christ like thank you for being a good model and I apologize for any dumb thing like making fun of you or whatever.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_04: And uh it's like he was the good example in my life when I was not spiritually in my life.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_04: And uh so it was cool to reach out to him.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_04: And then for me to be that people for other for other people and be like hey man like you're a good model for for what it's like to live for Christ.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah and because of that I'm now living for Christ.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_04: Like that's super cool.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm saying man a positive energy you spread it and it comes right back around.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah it's a real thing dude yeah and another thing cool thing about having you around is um it makes me want to like really like it's funny your last name is Braid and gun but uh it makes me want to stick to my guns man yeah man it makes it makes me want to be even better because I feel like I have like there's this person in the workplace that we now have which is you and the cool thing about having you around is it's like you hold yourself to a high standard in accountability and I I genuinely it's been a while since I've had somebody like that around me.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah and like in person around me.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_04: And to have someone like you come in like I I'm like that but it's hard to do it by yourself over the course of a few years.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_04: Like I've been living in Longview for three or four years and I have not had somebody like that around me.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_04: And so it's kind of hard to be the only burning candle.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_04: But when you got that extra candle that rolls in man you can burn down a forest it's like yeah dude it's just like like I've always had that foundation it's always been who I am but I feel like it's been a slow dying candle.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah to be like I like it would have remained and and and and kind of been somewhat consistent and but then whenever you came around it made me like straighten it out and really go back to being all in on that.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_04: Absolutely so that was pretty cool.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_04: I'm good man I'm glad I'm glad I uh be that for you man I appreciate that bro yeah um but uh yeah man it's just it's so funny to see like um Sam like the past three or four weeks bro she's like she just freaking get things done dude she's a dog bro um and it's funny to see everybody else not that everybody else doesn't get things done they do they just don't do it as fast and an efficient rate as you like just being statistical and honest like you get more things done um than any other uh I shouldn't say any other race director but most race directors because uh you know I can't measure as far as like Asher he's a race director but like I don't know I don't have a measurement on how much he gets done but uh permit-wise as far as like going and getting a permit for a race you you have done more in quantity than anybody at the rate in which you do it like if you're doing two to three per week that's a higher rate than everybody else including me by the way yeah which is pretty cool yeah so um and what it what it does is I think it exposes where everybody else is at yeah and then they feel like oh Brayden's really getting the stuff done I need to get this stuff done.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_02: So it's pretty cool man yeah that that's a yeah a thing on that because we watched what was that was the guy's name a Dave Ramsey's Andrew Lee.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah he said he said you get a thoroughbred around some donkeys and that thoroughbred exposes the donkey.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah and I like that stuck from that video and you said that to me before and that's yeah I think that's a good thing.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_04: Like being real you you I know you've only been working here over a little over a month but like you've produced more in a little over a month than most everybody else.
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_04: Absolutely just on pay like by number yeah so by the statistical number you you produce more.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah there's no I mean there's no there's no run around it.
• 32:10
  SPEAKER_02: It's not like a projection of like oh yeah he'll do more he'll do better.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_04: It's like and it's not favoritism either it's just like you're freaking crushing it dude that's an interesting thing too not and it's not that everybody else isn't crushing it.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_04: They are you're just crushing it better.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah you're better.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah when it comes to getting the work done you are better.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_02: And I think it by number I think it just comes down to what I was saying earlier like stacking little wins like because I mean I I've told Briston before you know when I was my first couple weeks I was working here I was running in the morning and then you know come to work and I'm knocking stuff out all day like boom boom boom boom boom and then there was a week where I got lazy and I didn't want to wake up and that alarm would go off and I'm like oh I'll run after work.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_02: And so I ran after work but my days at work it was like I'm not getting nearly as much done as I was so I think it just goes down to attacking those tasks early in the morning like whatever the task is for you man making your bed making breakfast whatever that is for you like get stuff done early in the morning and then boom it's like oh I still got the whole day to do this.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_02: You knock that out it's like oh I still got time to do this.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_02: So I think yeah I think it's just good to knock stuff out early in the morning then it leads to very very productive days.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_04: And that's a pretty interesting team aspect because it's like I know we don't have the rest of the team on the podcast right now but like I would be interested on their perspectives of like hey guys like we have someone who's performing at a very high rate and um and I feel like in society there's a saying of like don't compare yourself to others.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah yeah which is true because at the end of the day and this is straight facts and statistics but people have certain character traits.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah and so um we'll actually learn this in Dave Ramsey's entre leadership so like you might be really good at permits but Sam's very good at advent marketing.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah and it's like even if you tried you probably couldn't be as good as her not even close but because you're you're because of how you're wired yeah and then like how Haley is race directing she's very good day of personality race directing and it's like you might be a good race director but naturally she might just be better than you race direct maybe not but maybe maybe maybe you'll be better but um it comes down to like there is it does come down to like a natural level like you have strengths other people don't have which is why you perform better in that area.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah but if I were to stick you in another area then you won't perform as well.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_04: You'll try and it's kind of like with me with running it's like I tried really hard to be the best runner in the world but because of my natural traits and my natural genes I I haven't been able to yeah and so I I decided to to pretty much try business and turns out I was really good at that.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_04: And and so you know I think it comes down to like as far as like for me the things that really move the needle in the company are more races more people marketing and like that's what produces the numbers right yeah and you're moving the needle on that but um with that being said though like there's other areas that other people are moving the needle on that might not be that that I'm focused on but other things that are just as that are very equally important like race experience race day experience like Garrett have you ever seen Garrett at an aid station that dude freaking gets after it dude yeah oh my gosh dude uh Garrett's a freaking killer at like getting things done race day yeah and he's another race director for us Garrett right um and so like everybody has their own strengths yeah and um you just happen to have the biggest strength when it comes to like moving the needle on getting more events which is a pretty big needle to move the company.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah um and so I'll say all that to say like um everybody just has a strength you just have to find what strength fits that person.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_04: And that's actually what we're gonna talk about in our leadership training here in a few weeks um we'll go over like the different types of people you work with and how people are wired differently and how you you might have the right person in the wrong place.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah yeah I was just about to say man it's just like you put people in their in their strengths like people know their strengths put them in that best position to utilize their strengths.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_02: People know their weaknesses say like I'm good at getting permits you know so and so is not the best at getting permits.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_02: Well let me get their permits I'm not good at calling port-a-potties or let them call the port-a-potties you know what I'm saying it's just putting them by their strengths yeah it's all just about teamwork and I think that's something we do really really well here is work work great as a team and I think you put us all in a pretty good position to where we can utilize our strengths and uh you know if there is some weaknesses we we get them coached up and get them fixed.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_04: So right it's really interesting because like Garrett right believe it or not he's he's a very big creative guy so his artwork's pretty insane.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_04: Really um so I could see him being potentially in a dabbling in some creativity roles down the road.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_04: And then Haley she's uh she seems to really want to do like the finance side of things her degree's accounting but she's race directing yeah so that might be an avenue she goes down in the future but like um yeah so it's really interesting to see like everybody's strengths and like where's every where everyone's performing um yeah so I guess I say that to say like I definitely am praising you on the permit stuff yeah but I don't want to discount like anybody else no absolutely I think everybody in the office works extremely hard on on what they do and I think everybody's good at what they do.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_04: I don't think any one person is is lacking on on anything I think it's just you know I think people just come in sometimes and they're like oh yeah this is you know like if you put me in Sam's position dude dude I wouldn't be worth anything you'd be like man this guy I don't know we've had him for a month and he's I don't know he's a little shaky so it's something we talked about in a in a meeting last week is like if someone doesn't have uh a consistent healthy discipline in their life it shows yeah like it affects their work life dude it's huge like if someone's not self-help um working out uh if someone's not disciplined and developing their self in some sort of way it shows in their work oh yeah because their work sloppy it's kind of all over the place they're not they're not doing things with excellence yeah it shows um and it almost makes me want to be like hey guys like on the team hey guys I want to do like I want everybody and I want to talk about this in a team meeting at at some point but have a meeting with the team be like hey guys like every one of you need to be pursuing some sort of challenge yeah or it or or uh bettering yourself in some way yeah because if they're not then their work life's gonna suck yeah you know what I mean absolutely I I agree with that I think I think that would help but I'd I'd also piggyback on that and say like a lot of times you can't like people they love to be motivated and they love to you know hear the hoorah and let's go and I'm gonna get after it.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_02: But dude that falls out after two days so it's gotta be something in you to where it's like okay I want to do this for me.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_02: Like I don't care about anybody else I'm doing this solely for me and my development and I think that that's huge.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_02: Like when people realize like nobody's you know nobody's coming to save you bro like I can tell you hey Briston you need to work out every day bro like let's get to it every single day.
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_02: But at the end of the day if you if something inside of you isn't saying like okay yeah let's go work out then it's not it's not gonna do anything bro but I think I think it would help I think uh like my goals are a lot different than you know say Haley's goals or Garrett's goals or people like that.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_04: Um I think I'm a like I like to be physically challenged uh just like you know pushing myself in the gym runs you know stuff like that um and you know they might not enjoy those things uh but I think finding something that is disciplining for yourself you know whether that be you know waking up I'm always go back to making your bed whether that be waking waking up and making your bed bro like and making your bed could be running every day too exactly bro exactly it's just finding out a discipline that that start the day off you're gonna do every single day that is self you know that that's in you you know there's no external motivation there's no nobody can tell you anything man it's it's gotta be in you bro like I don't know I could go on a two hour ramp you gotta be a dog man this one this one that one does get me fired up you gotta be a freaking dog son I'm telling you bro you can't it's instead of trying to be a dog just be a dog you gotta be a dog you can't try to be a dog man they get you know the run of the litter man he dies every time bro so you gotta be you gotta be one of those top dogs bro top dog you want you wanna you want to go where you want to be you gotta be a top dog this is like one of our daily conversations I've always talked about we gotta be a dog yeah you gotta be a dog bro yeah yeah and that's I I mean that comes down to what I pretty much always share on this podcast man is just like freaking get it done man bro the podcast is called get it freaking done dude how many times you gotta listen to this podcast before we freaking get it done yeah you just gotta get it done man like there's nothing nobody can tell you about getting it done you gotta get it done you listening right now you gotta get it done man you better clip that you gotta clip no you gotta get it done man it's there's no way around it bro you know what a bison does man what a bison so the reason I love bison bro is because when they see a snowstorm coming all them cows man they running away from that from that storm bro they're like ah that storm's a little far but the bison understands if I run to that storm it goes by quicker.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_02: So you run to that storm you in that storm man it's going like that bro so you gotta be a bison bro clip that bro you gotta be a bison man goes back to walking in the rain man yeah dude you gotta walk in the rain bro nobody likes the dark but right after the dark the light comes and it's like man I just walked in the dark for so long bro now it's light.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah then it goes dark again so you gotta be ready for that it's the same principle and I I talked about this on so many freaking episodes bro but there's a principle that if you follow it's guaranteed but yeah you have your stagnation in order to change stagnation you must go into a difficult or decline season and then when you're in that difficult decline season you must make changes to then make your season a good positive better season and so you go from uh on a mathematical level you go from zero to negative two to positive two.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah so you were at zero being at two is better than zero you were at negative two being at two is better than negative two but in order to get to positive two you had to be at least a zero or negative two to be positive two people try to do be zero and then positive two.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah but you gotta be zero negative two positive two so you gotta have some sort of pain and then build up from that.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah you all the only way to go forward in life is Two steps back, four steps forward.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_04: That's the equation.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_04: Does the mathematical equation make sense?
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, it does.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_04: I think and that's that's an absolute an absolute necessity for progress in life.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_04: It's like uh it's almost like it's a code.
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_04: And I've talked about this, but God's creation always reflects the the mechanics of God's creation reflects life principles.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_02: I was just about to say that, bro.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_04: And so like when you cut a tree limb, it grows back stronger.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_04: When you break down a muscle, it grows back stronger.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_04: And there's a similar cycle that something must be uh have some sort of pain, discomfort, or br or brokenness to then have a stronger, better rebound of self.
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_04: And you take that principle, you can apply it to fitness, faith, uh, finances or business, right?
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_04: Take that same principle, apply it to those areas, and you will see, if you apply that principle, you'll see that.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 44:57
  SPEAKER_04: It's like, for example, me coming in and reading in my Bible every day and then going out and praying on my God walk, right?
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_04: Me doing that, in a way, it's a negative on my time.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_04: But it's a positive for me spiritually.
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_04: Because you think I want to walk in here and read every day about Jacob uh banging up his cousins and creating the 12 kids of Israel after sleeping with four different women and banging up two of his cousins.
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_04: You think I want to read about that?
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_04: No, dude.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_04: And I want to go out and talk to God about it?
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_04: Come on, man.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_04: No, bro, I don't, to be honest.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_04: And so like it's like a negative two to myself to have to sit in here and read and go pray, but then it's a positive because when I actually do and experience it, it's a positive because I'm like, man, like that was worth it.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_04: Like that helped build me spiritually.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, and same thing in business.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_04: It's like I lost a hire uh six or six to twelve months ago, I lost a hire that I had to fire, and I ended up coming in and making everything better.
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_04: And so like I had this experience of like, oh my gosh, I have to do all this person's work now.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_04: To then I was able to do that person's work, make it better, and then put someone else in place to manage it.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_04: And it was better.
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_04: And when it comes to um fitness, it's like I wake up every day and I go run for an hour or two hours, or on the weekends I'll go run three hours.
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_04: I don't feel like it, but when I get it done, I can then run for three hours straight.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_04: And it's like a block.
• 46:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_04: Stacking days, right?
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_04: Stacking days, man.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_04: So it's that same equation.
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's also like summer, fall, winter, and spring.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_02: Like, God created the seasons, man.
• 46:35
  SPEAKER_02: And like, you know, summer's not gonna be as good as winter, man.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, if you like the winter, that's that's you, but you know, summer is supposed to be the high.
• 46:44
  SPEAKER_02: Fall is supposed to be, okay, you know, we're we're getting prepared for winter.
• 46:48
  SPEAKER_02: Winter is a dark time, man.
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's when it's dark, man.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_02: Then spring, all right, you're trying to build back up for summer.
• 46:54
  SPEAKER_02: So I think it's just same season summer.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_02: Summer, fall, winter, and spring, man.
• 46:58
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta you gotta understand, like, there's peaks and valleys of life, and you know, when you're when you're on that peak, you can't get too high because you're you're understanding, and you know, you're like, all right, the valley's right, right after.
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_02: It's not like you're tiptone waiting on the valley, but you have that humility and you understand, like, you know, when you're getting high in life, it can go right back down to zero.
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_02: So just just standing your ground, man, of being where your feet are and just appreciating everything that comes with it, the good, the bad.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and it's it's it's interesting too, because like for me, my favorite time of year is the fall.
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_04: But like people will try to hold on to their favorite time of year or this position in life.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_04: They'll try to hold on to that and they'll put on band-aids to keep that.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_04: But it ends up ends up not leading to being as great as something could be.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_04: And so like they the people will live the same life for 20 years.
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_04: And sure, things got a little better because you put some band-aids on it.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_04: Like if you want things to get extremely better, you just need an ex extreme amount of high lows, high lows, high lows, high lows.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_04: And if you resist resist lows, there's not gonna be as much height.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and that's why I told you when I talked about starting the business and how like, you know, I've worked 100-hour weeks, like I've uh in three years, I put in six years at work.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 48:26
  SPEAKER_04: And that's why I talked about you.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_04: Like, I worked in college, I didn't play.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_04: I had I had little to no fun time in college.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_04: But now, six years later, after starting the business, I'm going out and I'm gonna be hiking hiking in Wyoming for four or five days.
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_04: But it's because I went through the low of life of grinding with my nose on the grindstone for four to six years straight, to where now I can go for four days in Wyoming, yeah, and the business is still going, everybody's still doing their job, and I'm out in the mountains.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_04: And then I'm gonna come back and put in the work.
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_04: But like, and technically anybody can take most people get two weeks time off.
• 49:10
  SPEAKER_04: Anybody can do it.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_04: Me, me leaving is just a business of business ownership because most business owners can't ever leave.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_04: And so me leaving is no different than someone taking time off because realistically, I'm probably only taking total two weeks off this year.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_04: Um, but uh like, but I had to like work it really in the low season because the first is it's funny, the first four to five years of my business, I could never leave and go on a vacation like that.
• 49:37
  SPEAKER_04: Really?
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_04: Like I could never leave and go hike for four days in the mountains.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_04: Wow.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_04: Because, and it was funny because I remember Asher, we were at a race, we were at the fire trial riding festival in 2022, and Asher was leaving from that race to go with a few other friends to go climb all these mountains in Colorado.
• 49:53
  SPEAKER_04: And I was like, man, I wish I could go, but I couldn't because I had to race the next weekend and I had to prep for it.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and it was just like this like, oh, like yeah, like it was like that every time.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_04: Anytime there's this big trip I could go on, or this thing I wanted to do, I couldn't do it because I had because I was working in the business.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_04: And now it's gotten to the point where it's like every ever like all the bases are covered.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_04: I can go out and do what I want to do now.
• 50:17
  SPEAKER_04: But I had to go through that low.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_04: And then like you guys, luckily, you guys, like if y'all need, like you're gonna be on vacation this week and next week.
• 50:26
  SPEAKER_04: It's like we've set it up now to where like if you need to go take some time off, you can go and and you'll have your bases covered.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_04: You'll be all right.
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_04: So um the low high, man.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_04: It's it's a literal, it's a literal mathematical equation.
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 50:41
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and then it's like a slingshot, bro.
• 50:43
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta go back to go for it, man.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_04: It's just, it's just uh, it's just about doing it.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 50:49
  SPEAKER_01: That's the bottom line, man.
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_01: You just gotta do it, bro.
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_04: Because people can listen to this and be like, oh, oh yeah, I'm gonna uh I'm gonna do this, this, and this, and like, and like they'll listen to this and be like, Yeah, I'm gonna uh do X, Y, and Z so I can get here.
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_04: But then the podcast ends, and then they get to doing it, and then they face their first problem, and then they stop, yeah, and then they're back in the same life.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 51:13
  SPEAKER_04: Because of this one little wall that they couldn't climb over.
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you gotta do it, man.
• 51:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's like talking about it isn't doing it, hearing about it isn't doing it, reading it isn't doing it.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_02: Get her done, baby.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_02: You just gotta do it.
• 51:24
  SPEAKER_02: Doing it is doing it, and that's that I mean, that's the only way, man.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_02: There's no you can't go over, under.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_02: The only way is through, bro.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_02: What's the time on those podcasts?
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_00: We're we're up there.
• 51:33
  SPEAKER_02: Like 40, 50?
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's around 50.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_04: Cool, 50 minutes of straight talk, bro.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_04: Talking trash about lazy people, bro.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_02: Dude, I could go on for like five hours.
• 51:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'm telling you, bro, like I could go on and on, bro.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I mean, I don't know, man.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_02: At the end of the day, it's just do it, bro.
• 51:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 51:52
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that that's why that's a good name for for this episode is get her done, because it's what it needs to be, bro.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_02: Get her done podcast episode get her done.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_04: That's right.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_04: That's right.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_04: That's right.
• 52:04
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_04: And one last thing I'll share is I remember when I was a solopreneur, meaning I was the only, I was the only person in my business and I owned the business.
• 52:13
  SPEAKER_04: So it's called a solopreneur.
• 52:14
  SPEAKER_04: When I was a solopreneur, I uh I remember um we were going out to all these races every year, but when I was home and I was working in my home office in my apartment, if I wanted to go out at noon and go run, yeah.
• 52:30
  SPEAKER_04: And then if I wanted to stop working at four and then start working at six, look, I had this flexibility.
• 52:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 52:35
  SPEAKER_04: And I remember uh knowing that if I want to be a big organization, that we're gonna have to get a space and hire people.
• 52:43
  SPEAKER_04: And I knew that would have a big restructure on my life because at the time it was like I'm the only person that works in my business.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_04: If I want to go run at four or three, I'll go run at four or three.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 52:55
  SPEAKER_04: Like as long as I'm got money coming in and my bills are paid, whatever.
• 52:59
  SPEAKER_04: But in order to grow, I was gonna have to put structure.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_04: And that was a negative to me.
• 53:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 53:05
  SPEAKER_04: I was like, man, if we get an office, then I'm gonna have to show up and be there from eight to five, and I'm gonna have to hold other people accountable to be there eight to five.
• 53:14
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 53:14
  SPEAKER_04: And I saw it as like, then I'm gonna be working this life like everybody else.
• 53:18
  SPEAKER_04: And I saw it was a negative at first.
• 53:20
  SPEAKER_04: It's so funny.
• 53:21
  SPEAKER_04: And then now that we're actually living it, and it's like I come in and work eight to five.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's like this isn't as bad as I thought.
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_04: This is actually better.
• 53:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 53:31
  SPEAKER_04: And um, I fit in, I all these other things I want to pursue, running, lifting, I fit them in with this structure.
• 53:39
  SPEAKER_04: And it's okay.
• 53:41
  SPEAKER_04: Like it's this is actually better.
• 53:42
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 53:43
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and it's made things better.
• 53:46
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 53:46
  SPEAKER_04: And so um that was like another interesting point in life where I was like, I really don't want this style of life to change, but in order to grow, it has to.
• 53:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 53:58
