Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: People expect you to look a certain way, talk a
- 0:02Speaker 1: certain way, but they don't expect you to be vulnerable.
- 0:05Speaker 1: For whatever reason, they don't expect that you're going to
- 0:07Speaker 1: say that. They don't expect it out of all the
- 0:10Speaker 1: mistique and it glamor and all the bullshit they paint
- 0:13Speaker 1: on you, that you're actually just a normal dude. Put
- 0:17Speaker 1: my pants on, just like you did. I have this
- 0:19Speaker 1: whole thing up, just like you have. I'm still back here,
- 0:22Speaker 1: just trying to make it better. Am I perfect? No, man,
- 0:24Speaker 1: not even close. Still back here, apply and steady pressure
- 0:27Speaker 1: every single day, still doing my morning routine. I can
- 0:30Speaker 1: always be better, always. I think that's the difference. I
- 0:34Speaker 1: just accept it. I am flawed. I have messed this
- 0:37Speaker 1: whole thing up, and I will give it a voice
- 0:39Speaker 1: because you won't. All the people you're hanging around with
- 0:42Speaker 1: their hands in their pockets are on stange. I'll say
- 0:45Speaker 1: it because people need to. Because I've been the only
- 0:48Speaker 1: guy on the island. I've been the only person suffering
- 0:50Speaker 1: through it with no one else to turn to. I
- 0:52Speaker 1: don't want anybody else to feel like that. So if
- 0:54Speaker 1: putting my story out on the internet connects a couple
- 0:57Speaker 1: million people to realize, like, damn, that dude struggle with
- 1:02Speaker 1: mental health. That guy's got anxiety depression. I mean I
- 1:07Speaker 1: killed to have that guy's life. Yeah, from the outside,
- 1:10Speaker 1: you wouldn't. It's not always grass and always greener. Man.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Today's episode was powered by Sure, a quick, affordable, nutritionally
- 1:20Speaker 2: complete source of food with everything that your body needs.
- 1:23Speaker 1: That's probably the thing that means the most is I've
- 1:25Speaker 1: had I've had a ton of people that have come
- 1:29Speaker 1: uped me with their families when their wives there, and
- 1:32Speaker 1: they'll come up with me like, hey, man, I watched
- 1:34Speaker 1: your podcast. I really appreciate it. And yeah, I think
- 1:37Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Will take a selfie, they'll walk away
- 1:39Speaker 1: and their wives will turn around and run back and like,
- 1:42Speaker 1: you say, just be life.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Like.
- 1:45Speaker 1: And I noticed the truth you got tears wrong down
- 1:47Speaker 1: her eyes. I start crying. I'm like, I know, and
- 1:50Speaker 1: she's like, you have no idea how bad he was? Yeah,
- 1:53Speaker 1: I do. I don't, how batter again, I've heard it all,
- 1:56Speaker 1: I've seen it all. I've FaceTime dudes, I know. And
- 1:59Speaker 1: it's one of those things to think that I almost
- 2:01Speaker 1: didn't do it, and all the people that I could
- 2:05Speaker 1: have helped that I wouldn't have helped. I couldn't imagine. Now.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I think that's the thing we push out now is
- 2:13Speaker 1: give it a voice. At the end of the day,
- 2:15Speaker 1: be a pro. And if you be a pro and
- 2:19Speaker 1: everything you do, it gives you the accountability, it gives
- 2:22Speaker 1: you the ownership, and it gives you an opportunity to
- 2:24Speaker 1: be the person that people are trying to emulate. People
- 2:26Speaker 1: are trying to be like. And that's rue what we're
- 2:28Speaker 1: trying to puish. Like. Are we trying to mass produce you?
- 2:31Speaker 1: Are we trying to put you in a position where
- 2:32Speaker 1: people want to emulate your actions and be a better
- 2:35Speaker 1: version of you. My God, I hope, so, man, I
- 2:38Speaker 1: hope that's what I'm doing. That's most certainly what I'm trying.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Whatever you're doing, do it at an ultra high level.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I don't care if you're a banker or a baker
- 2:47Speaker 1: or with adonistic whatever you're going to be. If you
- 2:49Speaker 1: do it at a super high level, the professionalism cannot
- 2:52Speaker 1: be ignored. It's infectious. When you walk into a room,
- 2:55Speaker 1: the way you stand, the way you speak, the way
- 2:56Speaker 1: you present, it encapsulates the entire room. Nobody is better
- 3:00Speaker 1: now that you're there, because you're a pro with everything
- 3:02Speaker 1: you do, and that's what you want. I want you
- 3:05Speaker 1: doing whatever you're doing at an ultra high level because
- 3:07Speaker 1: I want people backfilling you. I want you to inspire
- 3:10Speaker 1: a generation Faster people get on board with that, the
- 3:15Speaker 1: better off will all be. Like I'm trying to be
- 3:18Speaker 1: the best version of me because that profession deserves it.
- 3:25Speaker 1: It cripples me to think back of who I was
- 3:29Speaker 1: five years ago and to think I could still be
- 3:32Speaker 1: that person now. That's one of the biggest scarites I have.
- 3:36Speaker 1: If I would have maintained that trajectory, where I'd be
- 3:38Speaker 1: at right now, if I wouldn't have surrounded myself with
- 3:41Speaker 1: positive people, if I somehow would have managed the storm,
- 3:43Speaker 1: and where I'd be at like nobody had want to
- 3:48Speaker 1: be definitely not clonable. I wouldn't want twenty five meet
- 3:52Speaker 1: running around now. Back then. There are moments in my
- 3:55Speaker 1: life where ultra proud of who I am and what
- 3:57Speaker 1: I've done and what I've contributed. Moments my life where
- 4:01Speaker 1: I couldn't be more embarrassed. I look at it. Is
- 4:05Speaker 1: that a professional answer? Why did I do it? Here?
- 4:09Speaker 1: Stone cold sober, I have no idea. I think that's
- 4:12Speaker 1: the thing that plagues me the most. If I look
- 4:14Speaker 1: back on the big airs I've made, there's only one
- 4:16Speaker 1: thing I'll tell you, and I think a lot of
- 4:18Speaker 1: people get a lot out of this. Every single mistake
- 4:22Speaker 1: I've ever made my life that I can recall right
- 4:24Speaker 1: now could have been solved with a singular question. Is
- 4:27Speaker 1: what I'm doing now or what I'm about to do
- 4:29Speaker 1: benefit my group in any way? No? Do just me
- 4:35Speaker 1: drinking a six pack and driving make my team better?
- 4:38Speaker 2: Nope?
- 4:39Speaker 1: It's me getting shit faced and staying out till four
- 4:42Speaker 1: am in downtown LA when I've got a wife and
- 4:44Speaker 1: two kids at home make me better? Nope? Doesn't make
- 4:48Speaker 1: my family better? No? Does it hurt my family? Does
- 4:52Speaker 1: that affect my job too? So you're actually hurting the team? Yep?
- 4:58Speaker 1: Just skipping the gym make my team better? Taking on
- 5:01Speaker 1: these drugs may be better. Nope. It's like, at the
- 5:04Speaker 1: end of the day, if you just look at in
- 5:05Speaker 1: that everything I do physically, everything I do my morning
- 5:08Speaker 1: routine is for the optimal in state. Does that support
- 5:11Speaker 1: the optimal in state? No? What are you doing? It
- 5:15Speaker 1: solves itself, And I had a true chief that told
- 5:18Speaker 1: me that everything you're doing should be purpose built. Is
- 5:21Speaker 1: wearing that T shirt represent my group? No, you can
- 5:27Speaker 1: take it off. Brought you that right, just as simple
- 5:32Speaker 1: as that. Everything you do, everything you say, represents all
- 5:34Speaker 1: of us. Are you proud of what you just said?
- 5:37Speaker 1: You're proud of the way you act in front of
- 5:38Speaker 1: these people? No? Neither a way. Oh it's heavy, man,
- 5:45Speaker 1: like the responsibility you have. You know, I'm a steward
- 5:49Speaker 1: of people's time and energy and attention. You're a professional.
- 5:53Speaker 1: You spend your whole life earning your position in this team,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and I just pissed it away by wearing this stupid
- 5:58Speaker 1: ass T shirt and saying this out of my Wow. Okay,
- 6:04Speaker 1: so now everything I do now, I just I just
- 6:05Speaker 1: asked myself out, is this potential to hurt your team,
- 6:09Speaker 1: my team be and my family? Yeah, that's why I'm
- 6:12Speaker 1: not gonna do it. Does this potentially hurt gbrs? Potentially?
- 6:16Speaker 1: Don't do it? Then I don't, and it solves itself
- 6:20Speaker 1: Like now there's just more checks and balances. I just
- 6:22Speaker 1: look at it objective. That doesn't make them better. I'm
- 6:25Speaker 1: not doing it. I'm not doing it. Kind of a
- 6:28Speaker 1: boring life. But it really keeps you accountable. Any scenario
- 6:31Speaker 1: you throw them to see anything, just throw it on
- 6:32Speaker 1: the table, just make you just make a company better. No,
- 6:36Speaker 1: that doesn't the one you doing it because you're putting
- 6:39Speaker 1: your individual needs about the needs of the group. And
- 6:42Speaker 1: that's the big thing that cannot happen if you start
- 6:45Speaker 1: thinking like an individual in team setting, that's an issue
- 6:48Speaker 1: like well I need this, you need them, we need
- 6:51Speaker 1: that because we don't need that. Oh okay. It really
- 6:57Speaker 1: does start to solve everything you ever wanted to know.
- 7:00Speaker 1: If you ever want to be part of a team, team,
- 7:02Speaker 1: being your family, your best friend, whatever that is, is
- 7:05Speaker 1: what you're doing. You're about to do help that team.
- 7:07Speaker 1: If the answers no, don't do it. Just don't. And
- 7:11Speaker 1: I think when people start to adopt that kind of mindset,
- 7:13Speaker 1: they would really become accountable and they really become professional,
- 7:16Speaker 1: and you really see how important they are to that
- 7:18Speaker 1: entire team concept. If your position really does matter, if
- 7:22Speaker 1: we don't just grow you on trees, we need for
- 7:23Speaker 1: you to be here at one hundred percent. And if
- 7:25Speaker 1: you're not going to be to pack your life matters.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Oh how far you're willing to go for the group,
- 7:34Speaker 1: how much you're willing to sacrifice to put them before
- 7:36Speaker 1: you sew thousand switches. You know, when you're nineteen years old,
- 7:47Speaker 1: fresh at a high school, joining a new whatever, it's
- 7:50Speaker 1: really easy just to go. They'll be a navy seal.
- 7:54Speaker 1: The only thing that matters. Nothing else matters. How good
- 7:56Speaker 1: I can shoot, move, communicate, parachute, dive, whatever it is.
- 8:00Speaker 1: It's a lot of things you really got to be
- 8:01Speaker 1: good at, and it's a lot easier if I don't
- 8:03Speaker 1: have any distractions. So let me just focus on this
- 8:06Speaker 1: one thing. And where a lot of guys make the
- 8:08Speaker 1: mistake is they try to introduce a family into that
- 8:10Speaker 1: foundational phase. Well, instead of just focusing my first four, five, six,
- 8:16Speaker 1: ten years on developing mikata, my style, my foundation, I'm
- 8:22Speaker 1: going to try to manage a bunch of things at
- 8:23Speaker 1: one time. I'll try to get a girlfriend, I'll get
- 8:26Speaker 1: a puppy, I'll buy a house, I'll do this, I'll
- 8:29Speaker 1: take a windsurfing. Now, Nope, I think it's necessary to
- 8:37Speaker 1: limit your options, narrow your focus. I don't want any
- 8:40Speaker 1: external factors pulling band with me. I just want to
- 8:42Speaker 1: focus on this one thing right now. It's the only
- 8:44Speaker 1: thing I truly care about because it matters. So I'm
- 8:47Speaker 1: going to hammer down on this one thing right now.
- 8:50Speaker 1: I think introduce the concept of thousands, which is as
- 8:52Speaker 1: early as possible. If you think they can retain the information,
- 8:54Speaker 1: they can understand the concept. I would say, I do
- 8:58Speaker 1: not recommend anybody who is sitting foundation and trying to
- 9:01Speaker 1: achieve a high level to try to focus on thousand switches.
- 9:04Speaker 1: I wouldn't. You're representing a team and everywhere you go,
- 9:08Speaker 1: your performance in class is direct represent this thing right like,
- 9:12Speaker 1: it all matters, And if you don't do those dials
- 9:14Speaker 1: and switches, your only thinking about football every day. You
- 9:17Speaker 1: can't focus on class. You have to be able to
- 9:19Speaker 1: focus on class. So in that concept, it is dials
- 9:21Speaker 1: and switches. But those are the only two dials you
- 9:24Speaker 1: should have. It shouldn't be your toxic girlfriend or this
- 9:27Speaker 1: drama you have here, this social media ble kit. You
- 9:29Speaker 1: need to take the two things that only matter and
- 9:32Speaker 1: focus on those dials. But the majority of people while
- 9:36Speaker 1: you're single, why you don't have any distractions, really focus
- 9:40Speaker 1: focus on sending your baseline, focus on the obsession. It's
- 9:43Speaker 1: like why you have the opportunity, why you have the
- 9:44Speaker 1: clarity to do so start to introduce those concepts. It's
- 9:50Speaker 1: a consistency. Am I better than I was the day before? Yeah,
- 9:54Speaker 1: because naturally I have more experience. I have more experience
- 9:57Speaker 1: today than I did yesterday. I live in this vessel
- 10:00Speaker 1: for one day longer. Yeah, I naturally have more experience.
- 10:03Speaker 1: So it could be as simple as that I work
- 10:06Speaker 1: out today, yep, that I do one extra rap, that
- 10:11Speaker 1: I do more weight than I did last week. Yeah,
- 10:12Speaker 1: three pounds. Not a big jump, just enough, just enough
- 10:16Speaker 1: to keep myself on track. Am I still pushing forward?
- 10:19Speaker 1: Am I still applying steady pressure every single day? Yeah?
- 10:22Speaker 1: I haven't let myself go. You have a mister workout dope?
- 10:25Speaker 1: You have miss twenty minute one? Nope one because I
- 10:29Speaker 1: said I wouldn't. It doesn't have to be. I don't
- 10:33Speaker 1: have to climb out everest. I just need to wake
- 10:36Speaker 1: up every single day with a reason to swing my
- 10:38Speaker 1: feet out of bed and pop up quick. Because one
- 10:43Speaker 1: we better know wisyesterday. Because the people that I support deserve it.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Like I'm not perfect, I'm an imperfect creature. Ask anybody.
- 10:50Speaker 1: They'll tell you. The only difference between me and you
- 10:53Speaker 1: is I'm actively trying to get better. A lot of
- 10:55Speaker 1: people just want to sit there like that it's good enough.
- 10:57Speaker 1: It's not the same thing, dude, until you realize good
- 11:00Speaker 1: enough isn't good enough. You can always be better. There's
- 11:04Speaker 1: a lot of room on the table, man, Like, I
- 11:06Speaker 1: can really be better. I can be better a lot
- 11:08Speaker 1: of things that I never even cared about before. Let's
- 11:13Speaker 1: hammered down, set to the example goes back to the
- 11:15Speaker 1: be of pro thing like that one percent better tew
- 11:18Speaker 1: the professionals do it. Tell you want to get better anything,
- 11:21Speaker 1: do it ten minutes every day, three and sixty five
- 11:23Speaker 1: days a year. At the end of that year, you'll
- 11:26Speaker 1: be better in eighty percent of the population. It does
- 11:28Speaker 1: that one thing doesn't matter what it is like, That's
- 11:31Speaker 1: the truth. It does not take an exuberant amount of
- 11:35Speaker 1: time or attention. It just takes steady pressure and a
- 11:38Speaker 1: lot of times. Instead of doing it, you just want
- 11:42Speaker 1: to scroll through ig for an extra ten months. You
- 11:45Speaker 1: don't have to. You could learn new skill, you could
- 11:48Speaker 1: polish on the existing skill, you could have a better
- 11:52Speaker 1: have a better conversation with your kids, your wife, grandmother,
- 11:55Speaker 1: your mother, whatever. A lot of people just don't want
- 11:58Speaker 1: to do it. It sounds too hard. It's like, I
- 12:00Speaker 1: don't have the time for that. You don't have the
- 12:03Speaker 1: time for that. You're not making the time for that.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Seeing people that you know they want to lose weight,
- 12:09Speaker 1: but they don't want to die it. They'll go through
- 12:12Speaker 1: forty years of being overweight and then all of a
- 12:15Speaker 1: sudden you see them. You're like, what happened to you?
- 12:18Speaker 1: And you're like, yeah, you know, I finally did this
- 12:22Speaker 1: die and I finally just stuck with it. And he's like,
- 12:24Speaker 1: come to think of it, you know, I never really
- 12:26Speaker 1: tried before. I kind of just stopped eating the link
- 12:29Speaker 1: cuisines and I gained forty pounds. But yeah, it takes
- 12:33Speaker 1: what to sex. You just didn't think you'd be able
- 12:36Speaker 1: to do it, so you just stop trying. If you
- 12:38Speaker 1: make a digestible and not easy but maintainable, people will
- 12:42Speaker 1: get on board with it. And a lot of times
- 12:44Speaker 1: they need to see someone show them like, it doesn't
- 12:46Speaker 1: have to be rocket science, does not have to be
- 12:48Speaker 1: so complicated that you couldn't figure this out. Tell everybody
- 12:52Speaker 1: do a twenty minute walk every night after dinner. Do
- 12:54Speaker 1: it for a week, do it for two weeks, then
- 12:57Speaker 1: do it for a month. If you're not losing weight,
- 13:00Speaker 1: if you're not doing this, your diet is really really terrible.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Introduce another walk. I know you feel better off the walk.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I know you do. I've never had anything, man, I
- 13:08Speaker 1: did it, just twenty minute walks for a week. I
- 13:10Speaker 1: really feel like, sh No, you don't. Never had anybody
- 13:13Speaker 1: say that. I've had hundreds. I've had thousands of people
- 13:15Speaker 1: call me what came to my life? Me too. That's
- 13:18Speaker 1: why I keep saying it, like I don't. I don't
- 13:20Speaker 1: get paid every time somebody does a twenty minute walk.
- 13:22Speaker 1: I only do it because I know how much it's
- 13:24Speaker 1: helped me. If without those twenty minute walks, then I'm
- 13:26Speaker 1: not kidding you. I would be screwed right now. And
- 13:30Speaker 1: I just don't want to see people suffer. I've been there.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I've been the only guy on my Eyeland alone. I've
- 13:34Speaker 1: been there, and I hate when I hate when it
- 13:37Speaker 1: happens to people because it doesn't have to be like
- 13:40Speaker 1: we get through this thing together. But not if you're
- 13:42Speaker 1: not willing to help yourself. If you're gonna lay down
- 13:45Speaker 1: the feedab position and cry to me about how hard
- 13:46Speaker 1: your life is, it's not gonna work. You gotta be open, honest,
- 13:49Speaker 1: and we have to be willing to put in some work.
- 13:51Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make it impossible, but gotta make it work.
- 13:56Speaker 1: If I could give everyone in the room a singular gift,
- 13:59Speaker 1: it'd be the power twenty minute walk, and it really
- 14:01Speaker 1: helps the mental health. The job stressful. Man work is stressful.
- 14:05Speaker 1: If you don't take time for yourself, you'll never find
- 14:07Speaker 1: it like if you have to get it done and
- 14:10Speaker 1: sacrifices must be made. Maybe you're not staying up to
- 14:13Speaker 1: ten o' club, maybe you're going to bed at eight
- 14:14Speaker 1: because you have to wake up before. It's one thing
- 14:20Speaker 1: to be able to crush everybody. It's one thing to
- 14:22Speaker 1: be able to control every situation physically. It's another to
- 14:24Speaker 1: be able to control it and not let them know
- 14:26Speaker 1: you can control it. I can set back and I
- 14:29Speaker 1: can let you do or say whatever you want to,
- 14:30Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna perceive it positively or negatively. I'm
- 14:34Speaker 1: just I know that I can control the outcome of
- 14:35Speaker 1: this one ever I want to. That's a superpower. I'm
- 14:39Speaker 1: going to hide in the white noise on to set here,
- 14:40Speaker 1: and then whenever I want to, I'll change it and
- 14:48Speaker 1: That's what happens to a lot of people. They feel
- 14:50Speaker 1: like they're in this corner. They can't get a way
- 14:51Speaker 1: out of it, they don't see a way out of it,
- 14:54Speaker 1: or they'reund a different plane now than their spouse or
- 14:56Speaker 1: whatever else, and they make permanent decisions without realizing the outcome.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I but sure about to do what was permanent, dude,
- 15:04Speaker 1: there's no reset button. You're not coming back in another life.
- 15:08Speaker 1: It's not like it's over for you. And I feel
- 15:11Speaker 1: like a lot more people if they had to clarity
- 15:12Speaker 1: or they had something used to shake them and tell
- 15:14Speaker 1: them that right now, like not right now, do it tomorrow,
- 15:18Speaker 1: do it tomorrow, do it tomorrow, Do it tomorrow. The
- 15:22Speaker 1: Churchill going through hell, keep going steady pressure. There's no
- 15:26Speaker 1: reason to make a decision right now, and the worst
- 15:27Speaker 1: has ever been. Let's work on getting optimal and then
- 15:30Speaker 1: make decision when you're an optimal state. But don't do
- 15:34Speaker 1: it at the bottom, do it the top. And a
- 15:40Speaker 1: lot of the times you have to force them, you
- 15:42Speaker 1: have to give them the ability. And I see it
- 15:45Speaker 1: in a lot of SWAT Team guys. Now, a lot
- 15:47Speaker 1: of guys struggle with mental health stuff, like sometimes you
- 15:49Speaker 1: have to force the conversation. Sometimes you have to lie
- 15:53Speaker 1: in order to get to open up. And I'll do
- 15:56Speaker 1: some some back and forth with dudes, like how does
- 15:58Speaker 1: that look like? How does that look like conversation? How
- 16:00Speaker 1: does that look like? How do I engage with a guy?
- 16:03Speaker 1: How do I engage with my husband? My wife? That
- 16:05Speaker 1: I've got some mental health going on? You just say it,
- 16:08Speaker 1: but I don't know how to say it. I'll be
- 16:11Speaker 1: one dude, I haven't slept in like five days. Me
- 16:16Speaker 1: and my wife been fighting after that call last Tuesday.
- 16:22Speaker 1: I can't shake it out of my head, and it
- 16:24Speaker 1: just it haunts me every minute of every day. I've
- 16:27Speaker 1: been drinking every day, she's pissed me, she's been sleeping
- 16:29Speaker 1: in the friend's house, and the whole conversation just kicks over.
- 16:32Speaker 1: They're just like, yeah, that thinks me up, too, man,
- 16:35Speaker 1: he said, I can't get out of my head. Keeps
- 16:38Speaker 1: going over and over, and drama's drama. Doesn't matter. What
- 16:42Speaker 1: pat you have, what fancy school you went to, what
- 16:45Speaker 1: selection course you graduated from, that kit does not matter.
- 16:48Speaker 1: And that's really what I try to push out now,
- 16:50Speaker 1: Like people try to put you on a pedestal because
- 16:52Speaker 1: you graduated some course, so you served in some unit.
- 16:56Speaker 1: But I'll tell you every level people are struggling every level.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Childhood effects a dude in the special forces community the
- 17:05Speaker 1: same way does a school teacher. Same thing doesn't matter,
- 17:08Speaker 1: doesn't matter, you did ten deployments to whatever, that does
- 17:11Speaker 1: not matter. That thing that happened to you at six
- 17:13Speaker 1: still haunts you, the same thing. We don't get on
- 17:16Speaker 1: that positive cyclist. It's only going to get worse. And
- 17:19Speaker 1: a lot of guys they just they suffer in silence,
- 17:23Speaker 1: you know, suffer in silence and misery loves company. We
- 17:25Speaker 1: can figure out a way to bridge those two. And
- 17:27Speaker 1: it starts to just you using your voice. You have
- 17:31Speaker 1: to say it. I struggle mental health all the time.
- 17:34Speaker 1: And you should see the looks like it. But you're
- 17:36Speaker 1: but you're this. Don't take train you for that. Maybe
- 17:40Speaker 1: I missed the PowerPoint presentation really talk about how mental
- 17:42Speaker 1: health doesn't affect us. I don't know, most certainly effects
- 17:45Speaker 1: may It kind of just went to the whole thing
- 17:47Speaker 1: and then the importance of it and a lot of
- 17:49Speaker 1: the stuff is, you know, kind of reshape that whole
- 17:51Speaker 1: narrative into being a professional, being a pro at everything
- 17:54Speaker 1: you do, and part of that is communication, Part of
- 17:57Speaker 1: that is acceptance. Part of that is picking somebody up
- 18:00Speaker 1: when they falling down, being that on every level. Am
- 18:03Speaker 1: I professional at everything I do? And am I trying
- 18:06Speaker 1: to make myself one percent better in all this fields? Yeah?
- 18:09Speaker 1: Is my mental health perfect? Do I still get depressed? Yeah?
- 18:13Speaker 1: I still have anxiety? Yeah? And my actually combatants get
- 18:17Speaker 1: me right. I am all day because I understand the
- 18:19Speaker 1: importance of it. Now, if I don't have any bandwidth
- 18:22Speaker 1: to give it of the people, there's nothing else to
- 18:23Speaker 1: give to them. But if I manage my stuff as
- 18:26Speaker 1: much as I possibly can, I try to keep it isolated,
- 18:29Speaker 1: constantly polishing it, constantly refine, and it keeps it get
- 18:31Speaker 1: in the box. Then I can open up the other
- 18:33Speaker 1: seventy five percent of my bandwidth to everybody else. But
- 18:36Speaker 1: if I don't, my stuff's all over the table. I
- 18:39Speaker 1: can't help you out. I'm just I'm in complete disarray.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I have to have some sort of organization, but not
- 18:43Speaker 1: so structured that it becomes rigid. I've got to be
- 18:46Speaker 1: able to adapt every day as things change, something else
- 18:48Speaker 1: gets implemented, restructure my day. Yeah, the via browth thing
- 18:53Speaker 1: has been been one of the bigger things we've done,
- 18:56Speaker 1: and I think the mental health aspect is huge in there.
- 19:00Speaker 1: We tell stories, kind of get guys motivated, and you
- 19:03Speaker 1: know just how important it is to be a professional
- 19:06Speaker 1: whatever you're doing, and inspiring the generation behind you to
- 19:09Speaker 1: backfail you. It's kind of hard to do when you're
- 19:14Speaker 1: just spit and hate and discontent all day long. You
- 19:17Speaker 1: see people who do that. You know, a lot of
- 19:21Speaker 1: people they want a quick fix, they want to take
- 19:24Speaker 1: a pill and make it happen. It's not going to
- 19:27Speaker 1: And a lot of people they set these goals that
- 19:28Speaker 1: are so unrealistic. You ain't gonna make them. You don't
- 19:31Speaker 1: have the discipline to pull that off. And I know
- 19:33Speaker 1: it's nice to hope and one wish ain't gonna work.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Why don't you set a goal you can actually maintain, Like,
- 19:39Speaker 1: let's go to bed at the same time every day
- 19:43Speaker 1: for seven days. Let's wake up at the same time
- 19:45Speaker 1: every day for seven days. Just do that. Let's add
- 19:48Speaker 1: a twenty minute walk and after dinner, let's add in
- 19:51Speaker 1: one before you get to work. Now, let's see what's realistic.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Now inside of your life structure, can you add a
- 19:56Speaker 1: morning routine that has fitness before you ge to work. No,
- 19:59Speaker 1: because of this, this, and this, I tell you to
- 20:02Speaker 1: find a little gray area, find a little buffer, Maybe
- 20:04Speaker 1: go to bed earlier, maybe wake up earlier. There's something
- 20:07Speaker 1: you can do just for you that makes you exponentially
- 20:10Speaker 1: better without a lot of effort. And a lot of
- 20:12Speaker 1: it is micro wins. I'm trying to stack of as
- 20:15Speaker 1: many micro wins as humanly possible. Did I wake up
- 20:17Speaker 1: the same time that I was supposed to do? Yep?
- 20:20Speaker 1: Do I get my fitness in yep, Get a cold
- 20:21Speaker 1: plunge in yep. Twenty minute walk yep, protein chick yep,
- 20:25Speaker 1: die and check yep. That I make my first meeting yep.
- 20:28Speaker 1: That's six things before ten am. I've done it seven
- 20:32Speaker 1: days a week, every day for five years. Pretty good, man,
- 20:36Speaker 1: that's pretty repeatable. Do I do a twenty minute walk
- 20:39Speaker 1: after dinner every night? Yeah? Every night. That's pretty repeatable.
- 20:43Speaker 1: I can knock that out though. I take a shower
- 20:45Speaker 1: every night. Yeah. So why couldn't I do a walk now? Yeah?
- 20:48Speaker 1: I tried keto. It didn't work. Oh I tried this,
- 20:50Speaker 1: it didn't work. I still I have a diet all
- 20:51Speaker 1: the time. Best die in the world is the one
- 20:53Speaker 1: you'll actually stick to. It doesn't matter what it is.
- 20:55Speaker 1: That could be keto, that can be ve and that
- 20:57Speaker 1: can be whatever you want it to be. If you'll
- 20:59Speaker 1: act stick to it, that's best stay for They're different
- 21:02Speaker 1: in that morning routine. Life has such a big physical
- 21:07Speaker 1: component over and that's why I push it so much
- 21:08Speaker 1: on military, police, firemen, just overall every day because to me,
- 21:14Speaker 1: life is about process and information. Whether I'd be conflict,
- 21:17Speaker 1: that can be navigating human terrain into growthy store, it
- 21:19Speaker 1: could be whatever it is. The better off I am
- 21:22Speaker 1: physically gives me more options. I can process more information
- 21:26Speaker 1: because there's no physical taxation to me processing that because
- 21:29Speaker 1: if there is, I can already solve it. If there's
- 21:31Speaker 1: a physical element in it, I don't even know what
- 21:33Speaker 1: it is, I can pretty much get through it. Because
- 21:35Speaker 1: I'm honest. If there's not many things physically that I can't,
- 21:39Speaker 1: I can't grind my way through. I gotta jump on this,
- 21:41Speaker 1: I gotta push that, I gotta pick this chick. But
- 21:43Speaker 1: I can do all that. If anybody else can do it,
- 21:45Speaker 1: I can reasonably do it, and I think most people can,
- 21:48Speaker 1: especially if you put forward just a little bit of
- 21:50Speaker 1: effort and the confidence that comes to that is really
- 21:52Speaker 1: the key to mental health. It's stopped feeling like a victim.
- 21:55Speaker 1: And I say that everybody else too. If you're going
- 21:58Speaker 1: to talk about mental health from a fetables, stop stop.
- 22:02Speaker 1: If you're laying in your bed right now, talk about
- 22:04Speaker 1: how bad your life is, stop, nobody cares. Nobody's gonna
- 22:09Speaker 1: hear you from there. If you're gonna talk about mental health,
- 22:11Speaker 1: get up and do it in the grocery store. Get them,
- 22:13Speaker 1: Go interact with people, say to Mount Tom, get up
- 22:16Speaker 1: and just move, build a routine, wake up, drive your
- 22:20Speaker 1: car fifteen minutes, Go sit at Starbucks and drink a
- 22:22Speaker 1: coffee inside the restaurant. Do that. Just watch people interact.
- 22:26Speaker 1: It pulls people out of oppression. They don't want to
- 22:27Speaker 1: listen to it, like I want to be alone. I
- 22:29Speaker 1: know you do. That's why you've had this depression for
- 22:32Speaker 1: twenty years. Get out and move, be around people and
- 22:35Speaker 1: see everybody's doing the same thing you are. And not
- 22:39Speaker 1: a lot of people just want to put in that work.
- 22:40Speaker 1: And they don't want to. They don't want to hear
- 22:43Speaker 1: the real truth. The real truth is that everybody's got
- 22:45Speaker 1: some stuff going on. Man. Everybody just be open and
- 22:48Speaker 1: chair it.
