Join us to meet the people behind the badge and to highlight those who are here to serve. Manny, welcome to the Here to Serve podcast. Glad to have you on today. Thank you for having me. Yeah, so first, I got lots of questions I want to ask you today, but first. Tell me who you are and what you do at United Regional. My name is Emanuel Carrillo. I'm a PCA at United Regional in the resource department. I'm also a full time student at MSU in the nursing program, and then also a professional boxer on the side. Man, that's that's a that's a lot. That's a lot. I have so many questions about that. But resource PCA, how long have you been doing that? going on two years. Two years. Yep Okay. Yeah, that's that's long enough to to seen some things, been around for a while. Yeah, a couple of years. And How far are you in nursing school? In nursing school, I have three semesters left. Three semesters. Okay. And where are you doing that at? MSU. MSU. Okay. I wanna come back around and get a little bit more about what pulled you into nursing, but so you got three semesters left, PCA, resource, professional boxer. Yep. Right. Okay. less t I wanna I wanna talk about that first because I have some questions. We'll get into healthcare stuff. how long have you been in boxing? Since I was in diapers. Since it says diapers. Okay. Is that a family family deal? My father was a boxy. Okay. Yeah. So I was kinda born into it. You were born into it. Yep. I was in a non-creepy way. I looked you up yesterday. Yes. and watched I actually ended up middle of the night last night. I woke up and I think the storm woke me up and I was like, I want me to do some and I've got a podcast today with with Manny. I want to look him up a little bit and and I pulled up one of your most recent fights with Za Zayed. Am I saying that right? Zayed, Zayed Zayed. Great fight by the way. I was I was hoping something would put me to sleep and then I got I got into the fight and it was incredible, man. It was so so impressive. But I saw what I assumed was your father in the corner and I recognized him locally. I've I know I don't know him personally well but I I knew who I recognized him. So tell me about your dad. my father he's a general manager at Sam's Club. He's been working there longer than I've been allowed. Yeah. Yeah, and he he's he's also my coach. I mean, been been in my corner all my life and gonna be there for the rest of my life. So he's been every single one of my fights and definitely one of my role models in life. Yeah. I hear somebody I d I don't know him personally but but shout out to him. I hear great things about him from the community and I know he does a lot. Clearly for you, but also for for his team at Sam's and and just for the community in general. I see him doing great work. I would say all my family's always in my corner. You have my dad in in the corner during the fights, and you can sometimes you can hear my mom outside. Sometimes I can hear her more than my dad. That's awesome. She's my biggest cheerleader almost. No doubt. No doubt. Well, my mom's the only person that watches this podcast, I think. So so we're it's good. nothing to be nervous about today. so family, you're this is a family deal. Did did his dad box? Or no, I don't think so. I don't believe so. Okay. Well, happy Father's Day, to your dad. It's coming up coming up this weekend and that was cool to see. I was watching the fight, I saw him, I thought, Man, I I definitely know that guy. so that's that's awesome. So tell me about your your boxing career. You also started your are you is it professional now? Have you been to the professional round? what does that journey look like? it isn't it been going for forever now, you know, I wasn't always a a good boxer starting out. My my dad just kinda put me into it. I always say, I was I was a nerd growing up. I wasn't always like the most athletic. I'm I'm still not the most athletic in my family. My siblings are more athletic. I'm just good at fighting. Mm-hmm. But I was always like, you know, not not that I ever got bullied or anything like that, but I did look like a little like dork, you know? And my dad you target. Yeah yeah something like that. And my dad, he he was a boxer himself, so he wanted me to get into it. And we actually I started boxing whenever I was living in Amarillo, when I was younger. I was about six years old. And he started me and I started training, getting ready to compete. I started competing at eight, and it's the youngest age you can compete for USA boxing and started off there and I did not start well. I was and eight started off my career, my amateur career. I had eight losses in a row. I was terri like all the little kids whenever we're in the gym, they You know, they feel down if they take a loss early. I'm like, nah, you're you know, I'll I didn't I didn't win until my ninth fight. Yeah. Man, that is that is incredibly powerful to know that. What's your so I want to come back to this, but what's your current record? My current record, as a professional, I'm six and Six and okay. Undefeated currently. So people people see yeah, undefeated. People see those see those successes in life and they go, Man, this guy's six and he's never lost. And but you you you're telling the story of listen, I was and eight when I started, right? So I had to is that right, and eight? Yes. So man, that's powerful that you had to keep going, keep pushing, like I'm I but you know, that's that's awesome. I love that. So with your with your father coaching, where do you guys where do you train out of? we train out of rival Falls Town boxing Top Old Iowa Park Road. Okay. I've I've seen that on the way home. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a little hole in the wall gym. You wouldn't even wouldn't even realize that there's about five national champions, three undefeated boxers that train out of that gym right now. Man, that's incredible. the the pride of the pride of Wichita Falls. There we go right there. So from amateur so you you go and eight, right? What what's what started turning around for you? Well, you know, you gotta be determined, but also I think I I'm stubborn as well. Yeah. I'm I'm all trait. Yeah. Sometimes. Yeah. But you know, I kept going. I I wanted to get a win and then from there on it just started a lot more wins in the in the column, so just kept going, kept training and you know, it it teaches you a lot about being determined, about being disciplined as well. You gotta you gotta be d disciplined in order to succeed in the sport and I think succeed in life as well. Yeah. No, you're you're exactly right. I always tell the kids too, you know, if you're not training they'll have they'll have some where They're slack a little in the gym where n you know, they're off doing other things and then they get into like sparring and they get it handed to Yeah, that's right. And I'm like, you know, you it's cause you weren't putting in the work, you have the other person across the ring from you that worked harder than you and it's the reason why this happened. Yeah. And I tell you gotta love boxing and not boxing not gonna love you. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, you know, they remind me something my dad says all the time and I'm not sure I'm sure he got it from somewhere else, but is you either pay now or pay later. Right. And so he he gives well the example I've heard my father give many times and I try to apply it to my own life is is everything's hard, but you get to pick you get to pick your hard, right? So training's hard, losing's hard, you know, like which one matters to you are you know, y you could even go and say like, Hey, being being being married is hard. being divorced is also very hard. It's like you you get to pick where do you put your effort in, like being being healthy, staying fit, it's it's really hard, right? Not taking care of your health and getting sick is also hard. So you pick like up front. I love that. That's such a great lesson is like if you put the work in. There's a quote Muhammad Ali always said, I hated every minute of training, but I said suffer now and forever live a my life the rest for the rest of my life a champion. Yeah, suffer now. I love that. gosh, I'm trying to think. I wish I I could remember like I remember the quote but I can never remember who said it. but I wanna say James Clear from from Atomic Habits. But basically one of the things he said is you you put off what you want now for what you want most. and man it that just applies to all of life. You know, if you're f let's go finance this for a second, right? I can spend that money right now eating out, or what what I really want is financial freedom for my family. So I can have what I want now or I can have what I want most and it's it's it's a everyday tough choice, man. So I I wanna come back to that. That eight and is tripping me out. I just think that is so cool. I'm sorry, O and eight. You lost eight fights in a row and kept training. Like I think a lot of people would have just been like, Hey, this is not for me. I I just Well most most like fighters that start out you know, an amateur career in our gym, a some have like they'll lose their first fight and you know, it takes a lot off your confidence. Yeah. And then yeah, some they'll lose two in a row and That's it. We won't we won't see them in the gym again sometimes or they'll pop back in every now and then but they won't compete. So a lot, you know, it it it deals with that confidence. But if you're you're determined and you and that's what you want, you'll keep on going. Keep going. Yeah. And that's just a universal life thing right there, man. It's like every you just gotta keep going and and I I think when folks ask me often I'm doing coaching or training or teaching or anything like that, in I do it in like in a in a church setting and the organization setting and just in life. Many times I'll be asked like, Hey, what leadership books do you recommend? What books book and and and I hump my I always start with The Tortoise and the Hare is my favorite book. Yeah. 'Cause it the you know, the tortoise always starts slower and the the hare is always way ahead, but the tortoise just like keeps going, you know, it keeps going, keeps going and and that's who ends up winning is the one that can just be consistent and stay in there and just keep going. And that man, that's awesome. I love that. That's it, we know I know we'll cover some other good stuff today, but I just I love that that you started out with eight losses in a row but just kept going and then turned it around. So Yeah, it's a little I mean I started out and eight, but I finished my amateur career as seven time national champion and two junior Olympic gold medals and I was ranked number one in the nation. That's incredible, man. Incredible. It's not how you start. It's not how you start. It's how you finish. Tortoise wins every time it just keeps going. Just keeps going. so say that all those accolades again, that was so much I need to keep up with it. So seven time. Seven time national champion. And what does that what does that mean? So USA boxing the whole national tournaments every year. And you know, those are the best of the best in the in the nation, some of the top boxers in the nation. I say even right now, like starting my professional career, I think I fought better boxers in those national tournaments 'cause a lot of those boxers I competed against are world champions or some of the top contenders like I am right now in the professionals. I've I've heard that and actually it's funny you said that I was I was watching your fight this early this morning and one of the commentators actually said that. he talked about how it's harder to just be a an amateur national champ than even to professional. So what do you have to do to move into being professional? Is there a certain amount of wins you have to have, or you just say, Hey, I wanna try my hand in professional what's that? It was actually you can just say, Hey, I wanna be a professional. There's a lot of guys that turn professional. I don't believe they should be professional boxers. Sure. You know, you're you risk your life whenever you get in that ring. Yeah. Yeah. It's you versus someone that's getting paid to beat you up. Yeah. I you know, I I that's one of the things I love. I'm fan of of the combat sports in general and martial arts. one of the reasons I love martial arts and specifically I'm I'm I've been competing in and teaching Brazilian jujitsu for for for a long time. I think something like around twenty years. My favorite thing about it is that the maths don't lie. Like you can't you either you can say you're a professional, right? And you're gonna get in there and then you're gonna find out if you are or not. And first of all, not a professional in in jujitsu at all. I'm a total hobbyist, but I have a lot of fun with it. But it's they don't then the Matt's no lying. Like when you get out there on an actual competitive sport, whatever the sport is, boxing, and y y yeah, it's it is what it is. So you can say you're professional, but well my thing is I I know a lot of guys that are start out professional, they don't got a big amateur background, but you know between the work they put in the gym, I mean, it comes into fruition whenever they step in the ring. And I tell everybody when you're in the ring, if you didn't put in the work, I mean, this sports is it's just you. You don't it's not like in soccer or basketball where you can have a bad day but your teammates can be there to lift you up and, you know, win the game for you. If you have a bad day in the ring, yeah, you're gonna have a bad day. Yeah. Rough. It's a rough go. So it's yeah, if you didn't put in that work, you didn't put in the work in the gym, the miles on the on the street and stuff like that. You step in the r in the ropes, I mean, the only person that's gonna save you is the riff. Yeah. And that's just 'cause I mean getting it handed to you, so that's the only person that you can, you know, you you can't call a timeout. You can't you you can't t you know try to try to depend on someone else. It's just you or them. Yeah. I think there's a lot of power in that min having that mentality. That's why again I mentioned I love the martial arts because I think it teaches you such good lessons. But there's a lot of power in that. that mentality of nobody's coming to save me, right? I gotta put in the work. I gotta and I there's an authenticity there. if I've if I've put in the work, I know that no one no one's coming to save me. I think if if you look at your whole life that way and and I wanna we're gonna transition here in a second into healthcare, right? Of I gotta do the work, right? If I wanna be successful, if I wanna keep my patients safe, if I wanna I want the organization to be what we want it to be, there's no shortcut. There's no way around it. We gotta do the work, right? Me personally and the organization we gotta do the work, we gotta show up. because I think there there's a easy, I I and I certainly I'm always really careful like not to speak in generalized terms about everyone. but I see more and more a lot of folks kind of move toward this idea of like real somebody will come save me, right? It somebody else will do it, somebody else's fault, versus no, no, if you know, this is up to me. Like I gotta I gotta I gotta figure this out. Like I don't have people around me helping me, but at the end of the day It fall it falls on you and whether you want to succeed or not. You can't can't be you know, gifted every everything in life. You you gotta be able to earn something. Yeah, boy, I love that. Well let's let's talk healthcare a little bit because tell me from boxing you've been boxing your whole life, right? what drew you to say, Hey, I wanna be I wanna work in healthcare and be a nurse? Tell me about that. So like I said, I was always a nerd. I was always I mean, I always took all the advanced classes. All all my friends were always in, you know, like I I wasn't a typical boxer. So most boxers they call boxing the poor man's sport. Yeah. That that and that's his nickname, 'cause you boxing gyms ain't never in the best neighborhoods. A lot of the boxers don't come from the best neighborhoods. They don't have, you know, the best background. me, fortunately I was blessed to have that kind of background. I mean I I was able to do good in school. I had a a great set of parents that were able to raise me and you know, help me whenever I needed it. And at the same time I I always tried my best, not just in boxing, but also in school and academics. So like in high school I would always volunteer, do different things. my dad actually he had me volunteering even when I was From from the time I was little and I never even realized it. That's awesome. Yeah, me helping out with the Children's Miracle Network and Hotter in Hell Hundred doing stuff like that and it looks good on the resume now. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah, I never realized it. And so it translated into whenever I started growing older and doing more things like that. I worked heavily with Cafe con leche organization at MSU. They do a road to college program every summer and I would volunteer as a mentor. I do that throughout throughout the whole year and and the summers I would have like my own class and help out younger ones. And you know, I it you get you get a good feeling of giving giving back and I've developed these relationships with a lot of these young students and stuff like that. They they would put trust in me and you know, it it feels good. Yeah yeah, it it's fulfilling. But knowing kind of lifestyle that I like to spend money and stuff too. Yeah. And I knew I if I wanted a a career and you know, giving back helping I was like trying to think, you know, education doesn't always have the greatest pay. But you know what, healthcare, yeah, that that always also does pays good man you also get that fulfilling and the fulfillment of, you know, giving back. So that's kind of what steered me into that. And then also too, I I needed a plan B. Yeah. Because, you know, boxing ain't forever. Right. Right. Yeah, I can only box for so long, you know. My body ain't gonna allow me to fight all my life and you know, I I I don't plan on fighting all my life. Mm-hmm. It's a brutal sport. It's brutal, brother. I can see some marks on your face from sparring yesterday, right? Maybe not on the camera, but I can see Yeah. So, you know, I mean it's it's not something one can do all my li I already have injuries, like I have torn cartilage in both my hands. Sometimes it hurts to steal steer my truck when I'm driving and do other things, you know, 'cause I you get pain, wake up, sore feeling. feeling rough from the day before. So you can't you can't do that your whole life. And you know, where I'm eventually get old and I need something to fall back on. Yeah. And then two, you never know. You never w know how boxing's gonna go or how how life's gonna go. Yeah. I could get in a wreck one day and lose my ability to box. So I need something to fall back on and you know, be secure for my life. Man, I think that's really I I love that answer. It's really why it's very it's very pragmatic. It's very wise. and but there's also a a component of, hey, I wanted to do something that that would that I could give back to. And I mean, I'll tell you a hundred percent if I look back at we have a l it's funny, we have we just met a few minutes ago, you know, this we're just getting to know each other a little bit. We have so much in common, which is is really interesting. But whenever I was trying to decide what did I wanted what did I want to do, you know, I remember having a conversation with my parents about I I had similar things like I I enjoy working with people. I enjoy the way it feels to help people. And so was kind of looking at what are the options out there in those fields where I can be helping people. And to be honest, most of them don't pay very well, you know? And so I'm like, I'm like, ooh, nurse, I like n I like science. I like helping people. pay seems pretty solid. Like I liked where this ends started exploring that space. And then I and then of course once I had a illness in my family and I my my grandmother watched I watched her get care. In a facility, and that kind of sealed the deal for me is watching these folks help my family. I'm like, okay, that this is it, this is the path I'm on. but we're very similar in that I I was a PCA all through nursing school. I worked PCA and and lots of lots of memories there. so that's that's that's really cool, man. So let's talk about I guess let's I got so many questions, but let's start here. Let's talk about the dike. the ki the dichotomy or the the some people would see like it's kind of odd to be like, okay, I'm a combat athlete, but I also want to help people. I and it's not it that's not odd to me. Totally makes sense to me. But what do you does that ever cross your mind? Do you get you get asked questions about that? Patients ask me all the time because they'll ask questions about what what I do and stuff like that. And you know, I I'm like, you know, I hurt people but I also help people. Yeah. Yeah. It's a it it very two different aspects of of life and you know, I think I think it balances me out. Mm-hmm. 'Cause you know, there's a lot of stuff that I do in the ring, you know, it's you wouldn't expect of me if you see the way I work in the hospital. You know. At the hospital, I mean, I'm I'm on PCA right now. I can't, you give meds and stuff like that. So like my my deal in the hospital is I at least try to make my work environment, you know, happy. Right. Like between my patients, the staff, I wanna help them. I also wanna help patient, you know, I at least put a smile on their face. I mean there's not much I can really do i with the with the patients or in the rooms and stuff like that. But if I can at least, you know, make them feel better. Yeah. Mm that I I'm succeeding at my at my job. No, you you were so right. And I'll just tell you, don't undersell yourself there. And I I thought I always thought the same thing, but the more I'm in healthcare, the more I see the power of presence. Like the not and not just in how they feel, but their actual there's good data now on the patient's actual outcome. Like their clinical outcome is clearly we have to give the right medications and do the right things. Right. There's I'm not taking away from that, but their outcomes are very much tied to the presence of the people around them. So just your presence, your joy, your smile, like being there, makes it it really does make a difference. I don't know how they feel, but their outcome, it's pretty incredible. and I will say I I watched again, I watched your fight early this morning and I could tell you were having a good time with it, man. You were smiling. You were like, I was like, this guy loves this. And I got when I was watching you I was watching you love it. Well, and it's really cool in that environment, you love it. But then also in the healthcare environment, you you love it. That's why I got a f you know, when I send out these podcast episodes, I'll always say, Hey, let me know if there's somebody you think we should have on. And I got a call that said, Hey, do you know You Manny, I said, I don't I don't think so. And I might know if I saw him, you we have a lot of people that work here. And they said, You need to have this guy on. Like he you he embodies what we do and he's got a you know, he's a boxer, which is unique. But more importantly, like he cares about this organization. He cares about the patients. Like you should really talk to this guy. so you came highly recommended. and I can see why. Like you have a passion for for both of those things that you do. And I'm I'm a big believer in like I have no issue And again, I've had a lot of questions about this over the years with being like into the combat sports and specifically I compete in in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which is not punching, but it's choking, right? We're ch we are choking and arm locks and those sorts things. And I always tell people like, look, this is I've this is with an agreed upon opponent. We've both agreed to do this. We're not trying to actually like physically like, you know, put this other person in the hospital or anything like that. But we've agreed on a rule set and we're gonna challenge each other big time. and there's the possibility somebody gets hurt, but we're but there's something that you learn so many lessons in that, so much of the grind and the you t you know, we talk about just not quitting and losing and the the physical ramifications of it that I think it applies to everything else in life and I think it is a good balance. yeah, there's a certain degree of respect you've gotta have for the person stepping in the ring with you. Yeah, if you see at the end of the fights, you know, I always go to the my opponent's coaches, I go up to my opponent, I shake hands with them, give a hug and can y you know, it's I don't have no ill will towards them. It's just respecting me. It's a sport. It's at the same time. Yeah. And I think at the same time at the at the hospital is the same way. Like, you know, I go in, I don't I I even if I had a bad day the day before, I come in, patients don't deserve to be treated like I be treated any differently. They they didn't do anything to me. And you know what? They're in the hospital, they don't want to be there any more than I do. Yeah. So yeah, I I at least gotta, you know, help them feel better, make them make them feel better. You know, if I can get them to laugh. That's all that's all I asked for, you know? That's awesome. I love that. So tell me well, I mean, we've kinda covered some of this, but I may not have said all of it. What are the things you learned from or any lessons learned from your career in boxing that have helped that are helping you in nursing school or helping you in the healthcare setting? definitely in nursing school 'cause I mean it like I said, like in boxing, you don't love boxing, boxing ain't gonna love you. And you know, it's it's same the same d It applies to all aspects of life and especially in nursing school. If you're not putting the work studying, putting in the books. Yeah. You're gonna see the you're you're gonna see that reflection on your exams and in class. You're not gonna know what you're doing. You're you're gonna fail. Yeah. And I failed already before. I I've I've failed a class in nursing school. I'm not afraid I admit it. I mean, the same way I've failed I've failed in some fights in boxing where I've lost and you know, the the way you just learn from it, as long as you learn from it and you know what you can do going forward. Yeah. It's all that matters. Absolutely. No, I l I love that. I love that. And and you're gonna get it, you know, talk about the the I I say the mats don't lie or the ring doesn't lie. I will tell you, you know, when you hit that bedside, when you hit that first time on your own when you're released as a nurse, yeah, all that work, like it's not you if you've if you've done the work, you're gonna be all right. And if you haven't, it's like, well, this is rough. and so the you know, getting getting put out there will expose you, right? If you haven't actually done done the work, you're gonna get exposed if you haven't studied hard. And so that was always super motivating to me is yeah, I need to pass these tests. I gotta get through nursing school, which my gosh, was merch nurs anybody that all my nurses out there will immediately go like, or anybody that l that knows and has a nurse in their family, they know nursing school is brutal. Okay. It's brutal. I tell everybody I've never been more stressed on my boxing has never stressed me more than nursing school ever has. Yeah. Nursing school is definitely one of the hardest, definitely the hardest thing I've I've done. Even I feel like boxing, even though I've not always been best boxer or whatnot, it kinda came a little natural just 'cause I've been doing it for so long. Nursing, that's something different. It's hard, man. I it was it was so it was I would look back and say it was definitely one of the most stressful times of my life for sure. I was getting through nursing school. And so putting in that work pays off so much down the road with your with your whole career, but also just keeping patients safe, you know, keeping our doing, you know, what we what we were wanting to do is keep patients safe and be able to care for people. And you can't do that without you putting in the work. But you're also not only going to nursing school, you're boxing during that. So I think you you're you move your schedule around a little bit for your bouts. Did you tell me earlier that you actually had a bout during nursing school one time and it was pretty rough? It was it was terrible. I was I was the main event in for a professional like belt and it it was a lot of work 'cause I mean, professional boxing, you don't just go in and fight and that's it. You gotta deal with also the business side of that of that and you know, you gotta do all deal with all that stuff and on top of that I'm having to study, on top of that I'm having to train, on top of that I'm having to lose weight so I can make weight and it it's whole big ordeal and it's a lot to deal with. Yeah. Now on top of that I'm having to work too. Yeah. I got Yeah. Yeah. That's I got bills to pay, you know. So you try to stack them in the summer as much as you can. Yeah. I try to you say. Yeah, that's awesome. I can I yeah, I can't imagine. Nursing school was was brutal. So throwing that on top of it does not sound like a doesn't sound like a good time. But good for you man for just embracing it and getting it done and and put putting in the work. That that's that's really cool. Appreciate it. Yeah. Really, really cool. So one last thing I want to ask you about. well any let me go back. Anything else from boxing that carries over to to healthcare. I this is one thing I definitely want to ask you about. One of the things I try to instill in myself and in others, especially in the healthcare setting, is the ability to stay calm, right? To just take a breath and stay calm. So I can only imagine like in boxing, you've had to learn that skill and stay in calm. You know how you were watching my fight and you said I was smiling and doing a lot of that stuff? Well, in the fight, within the fight, you know, within boxing, you kinda wanna bring the emotions out of your opponent 'cause that's when they start to mess up. Get a lot of people say, when I fight I see red or I get angry. Nah, all right. I mean, that's what we want. We want you to get mad 'cause that's when you make your mistakes. Yeah. So in the ring that first round, he started talking to my ear and saying stuff like that. So we started, you know, chatting back and forth and that's when I started trying to getting his head, taunting, doing a little little bit like that and you know, I don't normally fight like that, but it worked. Yeah. You gotta be able to adapt. Right. And I think keeping that calmness too, like you said, as long as you're able to stay calm and keep your mental right within the fight, you're able to succeed. And I think that's the same for whenever you're in you're in the hospital in your healthcare setting. You're able to stay calm, you're able to think straight. It's like when a code happens, you know, if you're able to keep your cool and not get real friend Frantic and worked up and which I had my first code a while back and okay. It was it's intense. It was intense. Yeah, I had that I had that experience where I I had my first code and I'm when it when it finished I was like, Man, I should have done this. I should have I I messed up here and not luckily, but twenty minutes later I had a second code where I was able to see you know, learn from the first one and do better on the second one. Yeah. And incredible. Yeah. And it was it it was crazy frantic, but at the same time you're able to Learn and adjust and keep that calmness and one, but then you got it on the next one. Yep, yep. Yeah. That's all that's I love that. I was beating myself up. I was like, Man, I should've done that, I should've done this, been here. And well, twenty minutes later, all right. Try it. You you mentioned that keeping the control of the emotions. man, I I think it's a great place to to wrap it up. one of the one of the things I spend a lot of time teaching, new nurses and I'll probably when you graduate and come through, I'll probably spend some time talking. You'll I may if you're in the room, I'll be like, hey, Manny, tell us about this. But I always try to explain, especially maybe it's not a code, maybe it's just communication. That's when I see a lot of people get worked up. If somebody says something to you that upsets you, right? Yeah. And you get that people get that heart rate jumps, that adrenaline jumps, the pulse goes up. And the moment you have an emotional response, all of your tactical thinking goes out the window. Right. the moment you get emotional about it, you quit thinking clearly, you say something you shouldn't say, and now this this situation escalates because both people are emotional. And so I I have to be the one that keeps my emotions in check, takes a breath, slows that heart rate down so that I can think clearly and and have a good outcome here. Right. it's easier said than done. which is another reason I love the I love the combat sports, because I think it teaches you you're at a bad spot, slow down, breathe, think, right? Don't get emotional. it's good stuff, man. Good stuff. Well, you got a fight coming up, right? Yes, sir. August seventh in El Paso. El Paso. A couple of other restaurants will have it on as well.
