1:01
SPEAKER_02: I'm so 2025 was just something else.
1:05
SPEAKER_02: And technically it's not over yet.
1:07
SPEAKER_01: It's not it's not over.
1:08
SPEAKER_01: Maybe we'll get we'll get into that in a little bit because there is a there is a cool reason why it's not over yet.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: Not not just for us, but for for everybody.
1:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, 2025 was a battleground for Nike.
1:20
SPEAKER_02: Not yeah, I mean it's been wild how so many people that in our lives and that we talk to and you see on social media have just expressed that 2025 just wrecked that kicked them down to the freaking ground and stomped all over them.
1:36
SPEAKER_02: That's what 2025 did.
1:38
SPEAKER_02: She curb stomped bitch.
1:39
SPEAKER_02: A bunch of bitches.
1:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
1:41
SPEAKER_01: It seems like for the people that that are in our lives, whether it be within the business or just associated that we're associated with, 2025 offered a lot of challenges and obstacles that not came out of nowhere, but just that we haven't dealt with in a few years.
1:57
SPEAKER_01: And it's nothing politically and it's nothing, you know, nothing economically, or you know, we're not going to get into any of that.
2:03
SPEAKER_01: It's none of that, but it's really about just the the energy.
2:07
SPEAKER_01: Right.
2:07
SPEAKER_02: I was gonna say energetic.
2:09
SPEAKER_02: It is all everything we're talking about.
2:11
SPEAKER_02: We're talking about from an energetic perspective and not any anything else.
2:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the energy of the year, the the themes of the year, the like the we had some of our best business years and impact years, because we measure we measure our business in a couple ways, you know, the uh and and our business being inner wealth global.
2:33
SPEAKER_01: Um is business growing in terms of our our financial state, but also in the impact that we make in the world.
2:42
SPEAKER_01: And in 2025, in 2023 and 24, we had significant uh increase in in the financial health of the business, but we also had a significant increase in the impact that we were making in the world and that we we were making in people's lives.
2:57
SPEAKER_01: And it seems like 2025 was a just a year of contraction and a year of uh constriction and things pulled back.
3:05
SPEAKER_01: And you know, no matter what we uh what pivot we took, no matter what decisions we made, no matter how we where we went with our energy, business continued to go in the same and impact kept going in the same direction.
3:19
SPEAKER_01: And uh let's talk about the year of the snake.
3:23
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
3:24
SPEAKER_01: The year of the snake.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, look, we're Angie was way woo, way more woo.
3:33
SPEAKER_02: I was woo before you thought it was cool.
3:35
SPEAKER_01: You were woo before I embraced it, accepted it, uh didn't laugh at it.
3:43
SPEAKER_02: I think you might have thrown the word crazy at me a few times.
3:47
SPEAKER_01: Delusional, stupid.
3:49
SPEAKER_01: I threw a lot of words, you know.
3:51
SPEAKER_01: I wasn't a very kind guy back then.
3:53
SPEAKER_02: We did not have a very kind marriage.
3:55
SPEAKER_01: No, which is what we're gonna talk about over the coming weeks.
3:59
SPEAKER_01: But the point being is um, you know, as I started really leaning into spirituality, it's like I at first I caught up to Angie and then you took over.
4:11
SPEAKER_01: And then I took over because I saw how how crystal clear she saw life much more clearly than I did.
4:19
SPEAKER_01: And I just refused to believe that and accept that and acknowledge that.
4:23
SPEAKER_01: And now I've I've left her in the dust in terms of my now, it's not true.
4:28
SPEAKER_02: Oh no, Angie.
4:28
SPEAKER_00: It's not true.
4:29
SPEAKER_02: And actually, you get your you get your credit there.
4:31
SPEAKER_02: That's you get your credit there.
4:33
SPEAKER_00: But there is no that's spiritual ego when you think you've blown by somebody.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: That's complete ego.
4:44
SPEAKER_01: But there's but there's so but there's so much more to spirituality than that.
4:48
SPEAKER_01: And and it's just a connection with energy and a connection with intention and a connection with with just a spiritual purpose.
4:58
SPEAKER_02: I can talk to animals and you can.
4:59
SPEAKER_02: So I got that on you.
5:00
SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm saying.
5:00
SPEAKER_01: We haven't blown past nobody, nobody blows past each other spiritually.
5:04
SPEAKER_01: It's it's just we're all evolving in different rates and speeds and paths and capacities, and and it's just I have my zone and you have your zone.
5:14
SPEAKER_01: And I think you do yours wonderfully at an equal amount that I do mine wonderfully.
5:18
SPEAKER_02: And I think that what you do, you you excel at.
5:20
SPEAKER_02: And so I I want to challenge something that you said uh a bit ago when you were talking about 2023 and 2024 with the state of our business.
5:30
SPEAKER_02: You had mentioned that our finance that we had it it was a huge financial impact on our lives, but you also said we're making a huge impact.
5:37
SPEAKER_02: I disagree with that.
5:39
SPEAKER_02: I disagree with that.
5:40
SPEAKER_02: I think we were making an impact, but I think that what we're about to talk about with the pivot we've made, I think that our impact has increased substantially.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
5:53
SPEAKER_01: And with the people that we're teaching now, we're reaching, we were reaching more people in 2023 and 24.
5:59
SPEAKER_01: And that's yeah, that's the impact that I was talking about.
6:02
SPEAKER_01: We were reaching more people on the podcast, in our workshops, in our mastermind, and speaking engagements back in 23, 23, and 24.
6:12
SPEAKER_01: We were making more, we had more reach, we were making more impact, we were being heard more, we were we were influencing uh the direction of people's lives or people's lives and and and the direction of that that they were going in their life.
6:26
SPEAKER_01: We we we were more impactful from a reach perspective, but now there's more powerful power in what we're teaching, but we're teaching it on a very much smaller scale, which is which is is a good contraction.
6:43
SPEAKER_01: We're teaching it on a smaller scale and a uh a more narrow scale, but we're teaching it more deeply and more impactfully there.
6:51
SPEAKER_01: So so and and that's because we have both leaned into our woo and we have been doing you and I, the world has obvious been made it known and made it obvious that they want more of Angie Kitko.
7:04
SPEAKER_02: That is true.
7:04
SPEAKER_01: It is true.
7:06
SPEAKER_02: My queen is I forgot my crown upstairs.
7:08
SPEAKER_02: I should have brought it for this moment.
7:10
SPEAKER_01: That's hilarious.
7:11
SPEAKER_01: So so it's pretty it's pretty common for us to go like to a speaking engagement and I'll talk a little bit about our history and for somebody to ask, but I want to hear her side of the story.
7:23
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yes, yes.
7:24
SPEAKER_02: People have people approach, I I would say probably 75% of the time you speak somewhere, someone will approach me afterwards and say, they'll they'll first ask for validity of some things and then they'll they'll say, Well, how did you feel?
7:40
SPEAKER_02: How did you like what did what were you I want to hear from you now?
7:44
SPEAKER_02: So it's been been kind of cool.
7:46
SPEAKER_01: And and in our mastermind, Angie leads the the women's call.
7:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that they they call themselves the women of inner wealth, right?
7:53
SPEAKER_01: And she leads the women's call, and it's a very from I I'm never a part of it and I never get to hear or Angie doesn't share with me, but from what I hear about from the women is that it's a very, very impactful part of their experience with Inner Wealth Global.
8:08
SPEAKER_01: And Angie does a tremendous job of facilitating that that group.
8:13
SPEAKER_01: And it's pretty common for people to think that inner wealth, our our business, inner wealth global and our inner wealth mastermind are is just about me.
8:23
SPEAKER_01: And what I'll what I'll share with you is that there have been many, many times when some of the mostly women, most some of the women look at me and say, Mike, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm here for her.
8:37
SPEAKER_01: I'm here because of her.
8:38
SPEAKER_01: She's the reason that I'm here.
8:40
SPEAKER_01: And the the value the most that not to diminish me, but the most value, and this is all respectful, the most value I get is from her.
8:49
SPEAKER_01: And it's that they they're looking for that feminine leader where some, you know, the guys, we have a men's call, and the guys are looking for like masculine leadership.
8:58
SPEAKER_01: And Angie provides that that feminine leadership with with compassion and fire.
9:04
SPEAKER_02: I was gonna, yeah, yeah, yes, yes, 100% there.
9:07
SPEAKER_01: It's not always telling them what they want to hear, it's telling them what they need to hear.
9:10
SPEAKER_02: Yes, absolutely.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: Do you enjoy that part?
9:12
SPEAKER_01: Do you enjoy what what do you enjoy?
9:16
SPEAKER_01: And what do you what do you see your role at as in our business?
9:20
SPEAKER_01: And what do you enjoy most teaching and doing?
9:25
SPEAKER_02: I mean, my primary role, as you you just you just said it, is is the women's calls.
9:28
SPEAKER_02: That well, that's my main role.
9:30
SPEAKER_02: I I I beg I used to hesitate to speak out on our mastermind calls because uh for those of you who've been listening to this podcast since the inception, the the sky is pretty, pretty overpowering at times.
9:44
SPEAKER_02: And and we're both fire and it it we can crash together sometimes.
9:51
SPEAKER_02: So I kind of kept my mouth shut for a long time.
9:54
SPEAKER_02: And then um, you know, this probably like the last quarter of this year, I kind of felt more like I was co-leading with you and not just because I remember times back years ago where we would be on our on our weekly calls and I would sit next to you and I'm just just sit in silence, like and it was really frustrating.
10:15
SPEAKER_02: And um, so no, so now my I I I make sure that I interject my voice more.
10:21
SPEAKER_02: My job is to tell people to interrupt you, my job is to point out when you interrupt people.
10:27
SPEAKER_02: Um and and the women's call.
10:28
SPEAKER_02: And and obviously I do a lot of the behind the scenes stuff with the event planning and planning our retreats and planning workshops and do a great job with that.
10:36
SPEAKER_02: And uh well, that that's one of I mean that and the the that's one of my favorite things to do is is planning retreats.
10:43
SPEAKER_02: That is that is probably the top of my list favorite thing to do, not outside of the the inner workings of the business, like sure outside of our clients.
10:51
SPEAKER_02: And you know, I have one-on-one time with with some of our ladies, and yeah, that's that's my job.
10:57
SPEAKER_01: That's my you're the matriarch.
10:59
unknown: Yeah.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: And and as you're as you were talking, there were there were times you were silent, and there were times that I would and you couldn't get in a word in edgewise.
11:09
SPEAKER_01: And it it it just kind of hit me that the when I was uh uh an executive and I would hire someone new into a role, it took them it took them time to learn the role.
11:21
SPEAKER_01: So like if I hired a new uh a new materials person or a new operations person, being being the leader, I typically filled some portion of that role.
11:31
SPEAKER_01: And usually the the role that I that they hadn't they they didn't get up to speed on yet.
11:36
SPEAKER_01: And what I would do is as they would take over, I would back off.
11:42
SPEAKER_01: But until they started to take over, I wouldn't let my hands off.
11:46
SPEAKER_01: I was looking to for them to be assertive and to be and and to to take ownership, and only by seeing them take ownership and assert themselves, that gave me almost like the permission slip that I needed to back off.
12:02
SPEAKER_01: But the more someone, the more someone was hands off and the more someone was just watching, the more assertive and not dominant, but the more the more present I was and the more I contributed in that.
12:13
SPEAKER_01: But as soon as I had the confidence that they had it, then I could take my hands off the steering wheel because I was responsible for the freaking machine, right?
12:21
SPEAKER_02: Right.
12:22
SPEAKER_02: Well, there was uh there was a lot there with me having to recognize that what I had to say was valuable and important and yeah, self-worth.
12:31
SPEAKER_02: Self-worth, right?
12:32
SPEAKER_02: Because uh, you know, for the longest time it was am I gonna say this and is it gonna sound dumb?
12:40
SPEAKER_02: And that was a lot of what I had to get.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: You still think that you still think those things any still?
12:44
SPEAKER_02: I mean, there are times where I say I think I'll all I would say yes, you do.
12:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think I'll always have that.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
12:53
SPEAKER_02: Always.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: But it's that's the that's some of the karma you're here to clean up.
12:57
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
12:57
SPEAKER_01: Self-worth.
12:58
SPEAKER_01: So it's a never-ending, never-ending battle.
13:00
SPEAKER_01: But baby, I I see you just stepping into more and more.
13:04
SPEAKER_01: And as you get confidence, you just everything grows.
13:08
SPEAKER_01: It's just ever I think the world is just waiting for you to become confident in who you are and what you have to offer.
13:14
SPEAKER_01: And the more you do, the better things get for everybody.
13:16
SPEAKER_01: Like the more, the more you've become confident, assertive, assumed ownership, spoken over me.
13:25
SPEAKER_01: The more you've done that, the better everything has gotten.
13:28
SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, go back to a couple years ago when um, you know, my my best friend Katie Chatfield used to be our our events planner, and she used to do all the stuff that I'm doing right now.
13:39
SPEAKER_02: And I didn't think I could do it.
13:40
SPEAKER_02: Like I had, and she she quit and moved on to a different role with a different company, and I was forced to take over.
13:50
SPEAKER_02: And that was huge for me to see that, oh my gosh, I can do this.
13:54
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
13:54
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: That was really exciting.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: And now I feel like I I've got these retreats dialed in.
13:59
SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm freaking fantastic at retreat planning.
14:02
SPEAKER_01: The only time you don't perform at a task is when you're not confident that you can perform at that task.
14:09
SPEAKER_01: It's the only time I've ever seen you not not fully competent at something.
14:16
SPEAKER_02: Or if I'm not interested.
14:17
SPEAKER_02: If I if if I don't have an interest in something, I mean, I struggle to read a lot of the books and stuff that we do because you know, I'd rather be reading a biography or a thriller or something.
14:27
SPEAKER_02: But, you know, I'm gonna be interested.
14:28
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not talking about the things that you're you're not interested in or that you're you're not, you know, you're not designed for, but it's those things that you are interested in and designed for that you just don't step into.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: That's the only time I've ever seen your competence wane.
14:42
SPEAKER_01: It's because your confidence waned.
14:44
SPEAKER_01: But as soon as that confidence was there, it's like you got this.
14:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:47
SPEAKER_01: She it in in in her her previous lives, she would go and I just want to wait tables, right?
14:54
SPEAKER_01: I just want to, she loves the restaurant industry.
14:56
SPEAKER_01: And she would say, I just want to go and serve tables for a little bit just to get out of the house and and just to, you know, just to interact with people.
15:04
SPEAKER_01: And before you know it, she was the GM.
15:07
SPEAKER_01: And I am not exaggerating, I'm not lying.
15:09
SPEAKER_01: And before you know, before, you know, before you know it, not only is she the GM, but she is kind of pushing the owners out of the way so that they, so that she could actually perform, so that so that they could leave, you know, not get in the way of of her a performing restaurant.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: And that's kind of the way, the way it works with you.
15:28
SPEAKER_01: It's just as soon as your confidence catches up, you just catch fire and and that spark's all, you know, it's the the spark becomes a fire.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: But uh everything you touch gets better in some way, shape, or form.
15:40
SPEAKER_01: And the the point being is the only reason that uh you haven't uh fully uh impacted everything that you can impact in our business is because you didn't believe you could, but we're here to change that.
15:54
SPEAKER_01: Certainly, absolutely.
15:55
SPEAKER_01: We are here to change that.
15:56
SPEAKER_01: And what we've what we've decided, uh what we've uh I guess the pivot that we're making in this in this podcast, in the interwealth podcast, is up to now, you know, it's been the Interwealth podcast with Mike Kitko, and then I had some interviews, and I don't love interviews.
16:16
SPEAKER_01: I gotta be honest, like this isn't interviewing to me.
16:19
SPEAKER_01: This is just asking asking my my my bestie some some questions, but you know, I don't love the interview format, and that's why I don't have a lot of them recorded in the 230 episodes at the this point that we have.
16:30
SPEAKER_01: But I do love sitting besides this woman and and and sharing and teaching and educating and coaching and and and locking arms and making an impact together.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: I absolutely love this.
16:41
SPEAKER_01: I this is this inspires me.
16:43
SPEAKER_01: And what the pivot that we're gonna make in the Interwealth podcast for the foreseeable future, and I'm talking about over the next few months, is we are going to start, we're gonna have a series about us and about our path, about our adventure, instead of just getting on here for a half an hour and telling a story or, you know, go in some place and you see the the, you know, the location.
17:07
SPEAKER_01: We're going to, we we've designed kind of a roadmap for over the next, you know, let's say the the next, well, 11 weeks, but that includes today, the next 10 weeks of of really how to how to have the most impact and get get some some things documented uh in a series format that we think will will benefit everybody.
17:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and a little behind this, a little background on us and our journey.
17:30
SPEAKER_02: I know we talked about that on here before, but it's been very, very sleek, very passing.
17:34
SPEAKER_02: And scattered.
17:35
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, yeah, very scattered.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: So nothing linear, nothing, nothing that that you can, you know, just establish episodes.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: And I think we've got a we've established a pretty uh a pretty powerful um adventure over the next 10 weeks.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: And and that again, that's starts now.
17:52
SPEAKER_01: That's why we're we're having this episode.
17:53
SPEAKER_01: You can say this is part one or the the introduction.
17:57
SPEAKER_02: Um the hard launch of Angie Kitko.
17:59
SPEAKER_01: The hard launch of Angie Kitko.
18:01
SPEAKER_01: And Angie's always been a part of the journey, she's always been part of the adventure.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: Um, now it's time for for her to to really feel like that she's shoulder to shoulder with me.
18:12
SPEAKER_01: And maybe workshops instead of, you know, at one point I had uh just me in front of the audience and you know, in front of the workshop, and then it was me and a couple other teachers.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: And maybe it's time for there to be two chairs at the at the front of the workshop and and really get this thing started.
18:27
SPEAKER_01: So we'll see where this goes, but we know um that 2026 is gonna look a whole lot different than our business years of 2017 and what we taught and the impact we made from 2017 up to 2025.
18:42
SPEAKER_01: 26 is gonna look a lot different.
18:45
SPEAKER_01: And do you want to share the the Chinese behind the scenes of why that's gonna be?
18:52
SPEAKER_01: What's happened in 2025 and what we're stepping into in 2026?
18:56
SPEAKER_02: 2025 was the year of the snake, and so it was all about shutting and things falling apart and things falling.
19:05
SPEAKER_02: And I'm not perfectly skilled, I'm not perfectly worded in this versed in this.
19:09
SPEAKER_02: So please forgive me if I'm saying anything wrong.
19:11
SPEAKER_02: Don't don't come at me.
19:13
SPEAKER_02: Um talk, yeah.
19:16
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna get the, you know, somebody's gonna comment, you're wrong, and that's okay.
19:20
SPEAKER_02: I can, yeah, sorry.
19:21
SPEAKER_02: Um, no, so it was all about shedding and letting go and things that no longer served you, like, you know, being being released, and and it was about stillness and it was about quiet, and it was about I think slithery and you know, just slow.
19:33
SPEAKER_02: And my God, did we feel that?
19:36
SPEAKER_01: Think scales falling on of a snake, right?
19:38
SPEAKER_02: I this whole year it felt like Mike and I were just in a spot that we were we wanted to do nothing.
19:46
SPEAKER_02: And it was just this, but it felt like we were in a void.
19:48
SPEAKER_02: That's what that's the word we used to describe it recently.
19:51
SPEAKER_02: Just avoidance like a holding pattern, a clearing.
19:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
19:55
SPEAKER_02: Uh just just kind of, yeah.
19:56
SPEAKER_02: And nobody told us about this earlier in the year.
20:00
SPEAKER_02: It was the end of the year.
20:01
SPEAKER_02: Just came a crino, just figured out the end of the year.
20:03
SPEAKER_02: So I'm kind of pissed about that.
20:05
SPEAKER_02: But um, yeah, so then come February 17th-ish?
20:10
SPEAKER_02: Is that correct?
20:10
SPEAKER_01: February 17th.
20:11
SPEAKER_01: February 16th.
20:12
SPEAKER_01: It ends the year of the snake, and the 17th starts the year of the fire horse.
20:16
SPEAKER_01: The fire horse.
20:18
SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
20:18
SPEAKER_02: Fire horse.
20:19
SPEAKER_02: Power, forward momentum.
20:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
20:22
SPEAKER_02: Strength.
20:24
SPEAKER_00: Courage.
20:25
SPEAKER_02: Courage.
20:26
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
20:26
SPEAKER_02: I am so ready.
20:27
SPEAKER_00: Stamina.
20:28
SPEAKER_00: And as two millions.
20:29
SPEAKER_02: And as two fire signs, we're gonna fucking go.
20:34
SPEAKER_01: And and with that, with that change, right?
20:36
SPEAKER_01: So another thing, and I never, I never knew this.
20:40
SPEAKER_01: I always heard it was a one-year or a five-year or nine years.
20:45
SPEAKER_01: Or a seven-year, you know, in Chinese astrology.
20:49
SPEAKER_01: I always heard that, but I never like I just thought somewhere it was documented what year it was.
20:55
SPEAKER_01: And I never knew the mechanics of it.
20:57
SPEAKER_01: But all you do is take the years, the year, the numbers in the year, and add them together.
21:03
SPEAKER_01: That's the year.
21:04
SPEAKER_01: One through nine.
21:05
SPEAKER_01: So uh a 10 means one, right?
21:08
SPEAKER_01: Because it's you take it down to between one and nine.
21:11
SPEAKER_01: You keep adding them together until it's one and nine.
21:14
SPEAKER_01: So 2025 equals a nine year.
21:17
SPEAKER_02: No, yeah, nine, yeah.
21:19
SPEAKER_01: And 2026 equals a nine, one.
21:22
SPEAKER_01: A one.
21:23
SPEAKER_01: New beginnings, endings.
21:24
SPEAKER_01: Yes, new beginnings.
21:26
SPEAKER_01: And the last time it was a nine year, what happened in the lives of Mike and Angie Kitko?
21:33
SPEAKER_02: They completely got crushed to the ground.
21:37
SPEAKER_02: That was the year that you filed for divorce.
21:39
SPEAKER_02: That was the year you got fired from your second job.
21:42
SPEAKER_01: That is, yes, that was that's the year that everything, all the wheels fell off, and the old way of living just completely imploded.
21:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, our everything shifted and changed in our lives.
21:56
SPEAKER_01: I started the spiritual journey because as you move through 2020, you get closer to 2020 uh 2017 and get into a one-year, my spiritual journey accelerated.
22:08
SPEAKER_01: And then in 2017, started the business and started, and we got momentum and clients, and everything started building.
22:16
SPEAKER_01: And we are in that nine-year right now.
22:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, when you bring that up, so 2025 doesn't feel so bad, you know?
22:24
SPEAKER_01: Like, let's look forward to an awesome future.
22:27
SPEAKER_01: And some of the things that we're gonna talk about in over the next you know couple episodes or or the episodes that you know, the series that we're gonna do is learning how to learn how to train your nervous system to trust life and to allow your body and your nervous system to feel safe in shifting circumstances because certainty is unwell, there's no such thing as certainty when it comes to you know being a soothsayer in the future.
23:02
SPEAKER_01: And just because it it worked in the past doesn't mean it's gonna work in the future, and just because it it built at some point doesn't mean it's gonna keep building, and and it's training our bodies and our nervous system and especially our ego to to allow to allow life to rearrange itself for our best interest and to feel safe in it.
23:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think the ego is the biggest one that stands in the way there for sure.
23:26
SPEAKER_01: And control or the illusion of control is a very powerful mechanism for the ego.
23:32
SPEAKER_01: And the nervous system tries to control as much as possible because the nervous system is trying to keep us alive and it keeps us alive by keeping us in familiar circumstances, and it keeps us it keeps us in familiar circumstances because it knows how to operate there.
23:45
SPEAKER_01: So as long as we can control everything, we can feel safe.
23:49
SPEAKER_02: God, that sounds lovely.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: But I think the key to life is influencing what you can influence, controlling what you can control, and never trying to control what you only influence.
24:02
SPEAKER_01: And when you're trying to control what you only influence, it means you don't trust life, and it means that you feel like life is an adverse area, not an ally.
24:10
SPEAKER_01: And especially over this last year, I know I'm not going to speak for you because I I think I know your answer.
24:16
SPEAKER_01: Holy crap, has my body struggled with allowing life to be our guide, to be our director.
24:25
SPEAKER_02: I I 100% I can, I yeah, there's same thing.
24:29
SPEAKER_02: We talk about this every day.
24:30
SPEAKER_01: That's you know, we talk about this every day, and it's but you feel cleaner and clearer in your nervous system, in the functioning, because I know I know that I do.
24:41
SPEAKER_01: I know it there was a time where, and and the reason I can teach this stuff is because I teach from messiness, not mastery, right?
24:49
SPEAKER_01: A dip in the nervous, a dip dip in the bank account meant to dip in the nervous system.
24:53
SPEAKER_01: Right.
24:54
SPEAKER_01: Right.
24:54
SPEAKER_01: So so an increase in in the bank account meant an increase in the nervous system.
24:59
SPEAKER_01: And and I've I've said it a billion times, if if money controls your nervous system, then you're your money's bitch, right?
25:06
SPEAKER_02: No, I've done a lot of work over the past few months over that.
25:09
SPEAKER_02: So I I definitely feel that.
25:10
SPEAKER_01: Because life is always trying to bring you circumstances that are going to help you in your spiritual evolution, and it's learning to trust that everything's working for you, not against you.
25:21
SPEAKER_01: And this 2025, the year of the snake, things falling away, the mastermind shrinking, not getting the reach, not getting the visibility, not getting the applause, not getting the stages, all of these things has happened is because what worked in the past is no longer going to carry into the future because there's a whole different world for us to explore.
25:43
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
25:44
SPEAKER_01: I'm excited.
25:45
SPEAKER_01: Do you know exactly what that is?
25:48
SPEAKER_02: So what?
25:48
SPEAKER_01: Do you know exactly what the next chapter is?
25:51
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely not.
25:51
SPEAKER_01: Neither do I.
25:52
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
25:52
SPEAKER_02: I was gonna say that was a trick question.
25:56
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't a trick question.
25:57
SPEAKER_01: It was a question of alignment to say you know exactly what's coming up in the future.
26:02
SPEAKER_01: Me either.
26:03
SPEAKER_01: And that's what we're here to uh in Inner Wealth Global.
26:08
SPEAKER_01: That's what we're here to um to harness, to leverage, to become powerful in that uncertainty, knowing that we can get crystal clear about what we want.
26:18
SPEAKER_01: We can work, we can work effortlessly and tirelessly to cleanse out all the negativity in our bodies and our minds, right?
26:26
SPEAKER_01: The worry, the doubt, the fear, the anxiety, clear all that shit out and and remain committed in what we're clear about, but knowing hold on loosely, don't let go that life's gonna bring you either that or something even better.
26:40
SPEAKER_01: Yes, right, and that's learning to trust that.
26:42
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
26:43
SPEAKER_01: Um, over the next 10 weeks, we've got we've got a pretty cool arc that we're gonna that we're gonna go over.
26:50
SPEAKER_01: The first couple episodes are gonna be about our collapse.
26:54
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna go talk about um 2026.
26:57
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna talk about no 1999 to 20 uh to 20 uh or 2016.
27:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 1999 to 2016, what that looked like, and how everything just absolutely fell apart after uh after a lot of torment, after a lot of drama, after a lot of struggle, after a whole lot of hardship, the wheels fell off of all of that.
27:21
SPEAKER_01: And that doesn't even make sense to say it that way, but the wheels fell off of that in the life that we, you know, that we were living, it just went away.
27:29
SPEAKER_01: And it went away quickly and and it started to rebuild.
27:32
SPEAKER_01: And the second uh set of episodes, the second, second couple episodes, it's gonna be about repair.
27:38
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be about our repair, it's gonna be about her repair of her, my repair of me, and our repair of us and what that looked like and kind of some of the some of the adventures that we uh and struggles and challenges that we learned, embraced, and endured.
27:56
SPEAKER_01: Not always embraced, but learned, embraced and endured in that repair phase.
28:02
SPEAKER_01: And that third, the third little phase that we're gonna explore is really about our awakening.
28:09
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:10
SPEAKER_01: And it's really about our spiritual evolution and seeing life.
28:13
SPEAKER_01: It's like finally taking that red pill and seeing what life really is and what life's all about, and seeing seeing life through a more spiritual, spiritually evolved uh lens and learning to trust life and learning to trust God and learning to trust each other and trust that all's working out for our best interest.
28:35
SPEAKER_01: And the fourth, the fourth part, the last couple episodes, is going to be all about our future.
28:41
SPEAKER_01: And again, our our future, we don't know exactly what the next chapter looks like, but we do know that the things that we've done in the past, some of them have expired, and allowing that to fall apart, fall away so that the new can be reborn and stepping into a more powerful version, aligned, inspired, supportive, encouraging, regardless of what the circumstances look like.
29:08
SPEAKER_02: Sound fun.
29:09
SPEAKER_02: Sounds like a lot of fun.
29:10
SPEAKER_02: I'm very excited.
29:11
SPEAKER_01: What's your what are you looking forward to most?
29:16
SPEAKER_02: I'm looking forward to talking about our rebuild and how that how that went.
29:21
SPEAKER_02: I mean, the collapse is is just wild because it's just wild to think about.
29:25
SPEAKER_00: Um it makes no sense.
29:27
unknown: Not at all.
29:28
SPEAKER_02: Like I I I think I was telling a story to someone recently.
29:32
SPEAKER_02: I was having a one-on-one with one of our clients, our ladies, and um, I was telling her a story, and I looked at her afterwards and I said, that doesn't even feel real.
29:42
SPEAKER_02: Like it doesn't even sound believable.
29:44
SPEAKER_00: It sounds like a Hollywood movie where we tell the story, people are like, uh, you're boys.
29:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you're lying.
29:50
SPEAKER_02: You're lying.
29:51
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, and and knowing where I am now and how I responded and reacted in the rebuild phase initially, I'm just excited to go back through that.
30:00
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, I'm I'm very excited.
30:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and that's what next episode is gonna be about.
30:06
SPEAKER_01: Next episode is the story.
30:08
SPEAKER_01: The story, the collapse, the calamity, the calamity.
30:12
SPEAKER_01: The everything making it a Hollywood movie.
30:15
SPEAKER_01: No, I'm trying to, I'm trying to episode one.
30:17
SPEAKER_01: I want you back to land.
30:18
SPEAKER_01: So come back and listen.
30:19
SPEAKER_02: Kitko's the calamity.
30:21
SPEAKER_01: But let's let's go back and use that that number.
30:24
SPEAKER_01: The next episode is about that ninth year.
30:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:27
SPEAKER_01: All right.
30:28
SPEAKER_01: The backstory, the build-up, and the ninth year of the just tearing away of the fabric of whatever we thought we had that was good.
30:37
SPEAKER_01: Most of it that we see now was there was nothing good in it.
30:41
SPEAKER_02: Nope.
30:42
SPEAKER_01: Except except a bank account.
30:44
SPEAKER_01: Except a bank account.
30:46
SPEAKER_01: And and an underlying, although we didn't know it at the time, an underlying commitment to grow together.
30:52
SPEAKER_01: Right.
30:53
SPEAKER_01: That we never that we never really saw was there, or that we challenged all the time, but this unbreakable freaking bond and this unbreakable partnership that was always going to endure all that shit.
31:06
SPEAKER_01: That I don't think either of us fully trusted.
31:09
SPEAKER_01: I know because when you used to call me soulmate, I'm like, you're full of shit.
31:12
SPEAKER_00: Like my whole insides were like, you're you're your mind.
31:16
SPEAKER_00: Like you you call me a piece of shit 15,000 times and I'm your soulmate.
31:20
SPEAKER_02: Like well, I was right.
31:22
SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, in in some cases, in some cases, sometimes you were just talking about some cases you were just talking about your own shadow.
31:30
SPEAKER_01: But anyway.
31:31
SPEAKER_02: No, about the soulmates.
31:32
SPEAKER_01: Oh, oh, you were you were I was gonna say you no, you were you weren't right about the soulmate.
31:37
SPEAKER_01: And Angie looked at me the other day, and this is a this is a great story, and a little tease for you know what's coming up, is Angie has had a a very difficult time in her life trusting people.
31:52
SPEAKER_01: Um and we'll get into a lot of this next week, but a lot of people that were supposed to love her the most in her childhood, it did the most damage and the most harm, somewhat like we did to our kids, but not to that degree, and in terms of Angie didn't get fed a lot, right?
32:09
SPEAKER_01: And Angie didn't have clothes a lot.
32:12
SPEAKER_01: Angie didn't know where her next meal came from.
32:15
SPEAKER_01: She had to steal candy bars in order to eat because she was so hungry.
32:18
SPEAKER_01: But anyway, the point being is she looked at and she's had trouble trusting people ever since, but but she's always loved animals and had this amazing love and this amazing space for for animals, whether it be driving down the road and pulling off, you know, and and saving a turtle, or you know, seeing a stray cat and going to to try to rescue it, or you know, a whole uh I've come on with dogs.
32:46
SPEAKER_01: What what was it that you got out?
32:48
SPEAKER_01: There was something hit on the side of the road and you got out and you held it.
32:51
SPEAKER_02: Uh it was a cat that got somebody had ran, somebody had hit a cat and they took off.
32:55
SPEAKER_02: And uh I got out and held this cat while it passed and made sure that I contacted the shelter and they contacted the owner.
33:02
SPEAKER_01: And then where were we with the bird?
33:04
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, that was in Columbia.
33:06
SPEAKER_01: I was sort of speaking in Columbia, Missouri.
33:08
SPEAKER_01: So we're walking down the street and it was it was nighttime.
33:11
SPEAKER_02: Yep, just a little sparrow.
33:12
SPEAKER_01: We're walking down a street, and there's this sparrow that's on the ground and it's kind of flailing.
33:17
SPEAKER_01: And Angie, I think I saw it and I drew attention, I drew your attention to it.
33:21
SPEAKER_01: And Angie came back and grabbed it and she held it, and it was obviously in peril, and and it was spazzing.
33:27
SPEAKER_01: It does, it's like its whole nervous system was going crazy.
33:30
SPEAKER_01: But she grabbed it and put it in her hands, and she just tenderly, and I'm if you see on video, she just she just cupped it and she held it and it took its last breath.
33:38
SPEAKER_01: Yep, I held it in my held to my heart, and and and and she and then we we set it down so that something had a meal for the night because the body of that bird had expired, and we were just gonna let energy do its thing and nature do its thing, and something needed the energy in that body and uh in in the physical form.
33:56
SPEAKER_01: But the those things have happened like uh all of Angie's life, uh Angie's life.
34:02
SPEAKER_01: She's magical when it comes to animals.
34:06
SPEAKER_01: Uh but she's always struggled to trust people, and she looked at me and said, No, I'll never forget this.
34:11
SPEAKER_01: He said, The reason I love you so much is because you're the only one that that loves me like the animals do.
34:23
SPEAKER_02: And I said that that was yesterday.
34:25
SPEAKER_01: That was yesterday.
34:26
SPEAKER_01: I can he I it feel it feels like it was 10 years ago.
34:29
SPEAKER_02: It was it was literally just yesterday.
34:31
SPEAKER_02: But yeah, yeah, you're the only person I felt the same amount of love from that that I feel from animals.
34:36
SPEAKER_02: I mean, we've got four animals here, and we got five, but one's not ours.
34:40
SPEAKER_02: We have yes, we have two dogs, two cats, and a grand kitten.
34:44
SPEAKER_02: Um and yeah, I mean I just feel it from them, and I you're the only human I feel that from.
34:52
SPEAKER_02: And I'm working on opening my heart so that I can feel that from other humans.
34:56
SPEAKER_01: Because all your soul sciences say the same thing.
34:58
SPEAKER_01: Love.
34:59
SPEAKER_02: I'm here to work on the love of the human.
35:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
35:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
35:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
35:02
SPEAKER_01: And learn how to love humans like animals.
35:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
35:04
SPEAKER_01: Funny how that works.
35:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but the person who hit the cat and then left, didn't they?
35:08
SPEAKER_02: They're not helping the case any.
35:10
SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
35:11
SPEAKER_01: Well, maybe they're the your greatest asset in helping the case.
35:14
SPEAKER_01: Because if you can have compassion for that person, then you might be able to have compassion for everybody else.
35:19
SPEAKER_01: But um, anyway, that's that's the the uh arc that we're gonna cover next 10 weeks.
35:25
SPEAKER_01: And uh yeah, and then maybe, you know, as as we get this series together, then then we'll put it together and and and and put it in some kind of a package where somebody can, you know, and and and make it uh an offering so that somebody can see or or experience this and put it up on the website.
35:43
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, we can do a whole lot of stuff with it.
35:45
SPEAKER_01: But anyway, I'm excited for the journey.
35:47
SPEAKER_01: I'm excited to do this.
35:48
SPEAKER_01: This feels really good.
35:49
SPEAKER_01: It feels like the perfect time for it.
35:51
SPEAKER_01: Um, and we know something else is being rebuilt, and all evidence says that you are going to be an equal partner in whatever we build in the future, and it's time to do something powerful together.
36:07
SPEAKER_01: And here we go.
36:07

36:08
SPEAKER_01: All right, let's go.
