  SPEAKER_02: Today is episode number 250.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_02: 250.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_01: A quarter, a quarter of a thousand episodes.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: That is a lot.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's a lot of talking.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's a lot of talking.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: We say that every time every time you're on.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's a lot of talking.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_02: You talk a lot.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: I do.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_01: I do.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_02: But that's really impressive.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I tell you all the time how proud I am of you.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean the fact that you've kept pushing and have gotten this far.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_01: Not not proud of me for everything, but for 250.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: That that that's about I have a list that I'm not.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: I have I have a list.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: Look, most episodes and and or most podcasts, you know, there's freaking hundreds of thousands of podcasts launched every every year, and or a lot anyway.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: And and I go into every once in a while, I look for a certain topic and I'll go into I use Apple Podcasts, but I'll go into I'll go into Apple Podcasts and I'll I'll search a subject or a title.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: And there's a lot of podcasts that they launch.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: There's three episodes, or there's one episode, and then there's there's nothing else.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: Or, you know, where there were, I don't know, 20 episodes and then they it stopped four years ago.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: Where somebody just abandoned it.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_02: Now, yeah, there was a statistic about how many podcasts go beyond five episodes, and it was really low.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: Most podcasts don't make it beyond five, five episodes.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: And and most podcast episodes don't get more than 10 downloads.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: So those are, and and when somebody, you know, when I'm I'm working with somebody or discussing a podcast, just discussing, launching a podcast with somebody, I say, listen, here's here's my recommendation.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: Get a whole bunch of uh of content going, get like 10 episodes uh stored and then let them go because you're gonna be demoralized after that first podcast episode, after that second podcast episode when there's crickets and there's nobody really listening.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: It takes a while to build up some listenership.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: And then then the listenership kind of ebbs and flows.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, we've had we've had extremely high uh downloads and then low downloads in our seasons, and the the game, this podcast game is consistency, and you have to really, really enjoy it.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: If you don't enjoy it, then it's just a check in a box and you're gonna leave it alone on the table.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I enjoy this podcast.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: I don't enjoy making every episode.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: I I I want to make sure that we're clear.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: Every every time I get a get ready to make an episode, it's not that I am always fired up, but I enjoy having a podcast.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: I enjoy being consistent, and I enjoy having something to leave my voice in the world long after I'm gone.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because I mean you've recorded these when you've been sick, you've recorded them when you haven't wanted to, you've recorded them when you had nothing to talk about, or when you had you you you didn't really have a direction as to where the episode was going to go.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_02: And so how how how do you keep pushing through that?
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: How long do you foresee this going?
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: I it we were talking about this on the business call in on the mastermind business call um last week, last business call.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: So we were in Cancun last week, but the week before, where um the this podcast is an expression of my soul, and you know, it gives me a platform and an avenue to share my voice in the world.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: So I love having um, although every episode creating the episode isn't the most exciting and and invigorating, I'd say out of 250, there's probably been maybe 15 that I just I wasn't I wasn't fired up about recording.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: But for the most part, I get pretty fired up to make these episodes and and and and to launch them.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: But I'll say looking at the body of work, I'm really, really proud of having almost the five years.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: I just did the math right before we got here, 4.8 years of every single week not skipping a beat, whether we're traveling, yeah, whether we're here, whether I'm on the road, whether whatever, it's speaking engagement and taking, just having something where um I get to put my voice into the world or our stories into the world, and very fulfilling.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_02: And just as as a contrast for different and for how we operate differently or how you just the differences, I remember when we were doing our series and I was so freaking sick, and I wanted nothing but to just be like, I if that were my podcast, I would have skipped week because I thought I was going to die on that episode.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, not die, but you know, I was really sick.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: You were sick.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: You were sick.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: And and speaking of sick, we just got back from Cancun.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: And uh wow, what a different experience.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: And and if you noticed, we the last if you're if you've been listening to this for a while or watching us, um the last few trips we took, we we recorded podcasts from the road.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: And this episode is from home.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: We're we're at our home in our home studio, and this one was different.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: Why?
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: Why was this one different?
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we were supposed to record an episode in Cancun.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_02: Um, somebody got a tummy bug while we were down there.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody being me.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_02: It wasn't me this time, yeah.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_02: And uh we he was kind of down for the count for a couple of days, pushed through.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_02: We still we still enjoyed ourselves, our time by the pool.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: Still sat by the pool, sat by the beach, just you know, every for one full day, every muscle in my entire body was achy, yeah, and I felt like death.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: And there was a second where I when I didn't know what was going on, yeah, I almost went to medical because we're we're sitting down in the lobby, and I almost went to medical because I was so I was so unenergized, I didn't have any energy.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: Everything hurt.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: I just I was off and I didn't know why.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: And then we ran into about 20 other people that had the same thing.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, there was it was a resort outbreak.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, for two days he didn't eat or drink anything, which is so I so unlike him.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we've been together 27 years, be married 25 this year, and I can count on one hand the number of times like I've that you've been sick, so yeah, and I like to eat.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: So for me not to eat, not me.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: We were we were in an all-inclusive, like we usually have a beer at noon and for two days.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: And and all I wanted for two days was soup.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: I just wanted soup.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_01: And and finally I had uh uh we went to the it was Mexican night.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I went to Mexican night, and weirdly enough, it's the I headed right for the soup, and I opened the container and it was like chicken noodle without the noodle soup, which is like for me chicken noodle without the noodles.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: It was like God's gift to me, and I had two bowls after I hadn't eat really eaten for a couple days.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_01: And holy shit, I in fact, I I made I made a pot yesterday when we got home.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: I just wanted the same thing because it was so like so delicious when I was down there.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: And then I went to Costco today and he put chicken stock on the Costco list so that when I got home he or when this is out, he can make another pot of this.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's so good.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: Just chicken noodle soup without it, it's like the most perfect food in the world.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: You got your protein, got a bunch of vegetables, and it's delicious.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I love making it too, so it's fun.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: And it serves my my uh my passion for cooking.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: And I want my noodles, and you she so there's a separate bowl in the fridge.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: She just has plain old spaghetti noodles.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: She puts a little bit of spaghetti sauce, and that's it.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's her jam.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: So weird to be married.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: Holy crap.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: What the to be married to an incom completely different creature and then uh with with with such different behaviors.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: The trip was uh different all around.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: There were a lot of things that we uh what were some other differences?
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um neither of us really wanted to be there.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: Let's let's let let's let's dive in and let's not go off over that really quickly.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: Let's let's dive into that.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: Explain what you mean.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, we we like being our we like being at home.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like we like our home, we love our animals, we we enjoy I enjoy my routine, I enjoy the mundane, I enjoy my my mornings with my cat Andy, and we're hanging out.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: And then we got there, and it was just kind of like there was like no excitement like in the past, where it was where it was we were escaping what was at home and we got down again.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_02: Couldn't please.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: I just want to preface this by saying I know a lot of people don't get the ability to travel.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_02: I'm very grateful, we are very blessed, we're very fortunate that we get to have these experiences.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: So this is not saying I'm so grateful we got to go through and process all the stuff we got to process in a beautiful place like Can, New Mexico.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: Um but yeah, there was just there there was nothing to escape from.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: There, there was and and I don't think I'm gonna I'm I'm I'm listening to you, and I don't think over the last year or two we've used vacation as an escape.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I think for me, yeah, my interpretation is there was a time where we had a vision and we wanted to travel for the love of travel.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: And we traveled 15 to 20 times a year for a couple years.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: And to the point that last November, after we got back from our last trip, it was like, okay, I hope we never travel.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: We don't travel for a long, long time.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: And we we went to Nashville for our retreat.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: But this trip, it it wasn't just travel for the love of travel.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: I think, I think the travel for the love of travel itch has already been scratched for me.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_01: We can travel whenever we want, we can go wherever we want.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to Germany, Austria, and and the Czech Republic in September, but partially for Oktoberfest, but but for the most part, because it's a bucket list item and we we want to explore that part of the area.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: But the traveling for the sake of travel, I think that that itch has already been scratched.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: We've traveled enough where we got the travel excitement bug out of our system.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: Where that was we we kind of created a vision around this dream that was unattainable for a long time.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: And then we then we experienced it for two full years where we were just constantly traveling.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_01: Now that piece is that itch is scratched.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say that.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: And when we were when we were down there in in Cancun and we were contemplating this, what I what what connected with me is right now there's only two reasons that we would travel.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: And at one point it was just for the sake of travel.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: So there were three.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: But since that kind of right now, that's out of the system.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: One reason to travel is to go to explore Germany, Austria, right?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: We went to France and we went to Scotland, Cabo last year, that was awesome because we got to explore something different.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, we got to explore some different places.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: But but if we're not exploring, and and we've already explored like most of most of Cancun, right?
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: And we and we've we've seen a lot, we've done a lot, we've been to all the cool bars, we've seen a bunch, we've done the the excursions, and so there's not a whole lot left to explore there.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: But the only the other the second reason would be R and R.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what I was getting to, and I said there was nothing to escape from.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: So we talked what we had talked about was that for this type of trip for us, like just going and vegging in a resort for four days, like that's something that going forward will be reserved for moments where we do need to just get away, where we're after an event, once you know, once we're done with um our live in-person events, yeah, they're exhausting, they're physically, mentally, emotionally just draining.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_02: And then after that, after those those large events like that, or even after a retreat, we we need time to decompress.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: And if that's where, like, okay, need to get away, need to just go and veg somewhere for four days.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: And that's the RR piece.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's exactly what I'm talking about.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: Where we just we're we're we're out of juice, we're out of energy.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe we haven't connected in a couple days because we've been in a live setting, and we just need to go someplace and be together and just recharge and and recalibrate, retune, you know, tune up.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: Because as soon as we get off the plane, we're back in action with our business.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_02: But being in this in an environment like that where it was just like, wow, we literally just came from home from where the place we enjoyed.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_02: Now we're just vegging to veg.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't know.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: W without being depleted, yeah, right, without needing to recharge.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: So I guess it I guess we could say that we just learned a lot from this trip.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we could that we don't need to, but there was a time where while we were on a trip, we would already be planning the next trip.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, but I kind of did at this point.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: But but it but it wasn't back to Cancun.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: There are times where we're like we're in Cancun and we're we're planning the next Cancun trip.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: And what which which resort are we gonna go to the next time we come down?
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: And that didn't happen again.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: So certainly, you know, again, there used to be three reasons for us to travel RR, um, adventure, and just travel for the love of travel.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: And now the travel for the love of travel is gone.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_01: We recognize that if we're not depleted, we don't need to rest up.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and and if it's gotta be somewhere cool that we're gonna go see where we get to explore.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: And then then kind of get some wind under the wings, right?
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: And get some excitement back in the back in the tank.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: And it was, I think also this was our third time at the same resort.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that even having something new, like a new resort to explore, would have been a little bit more of an adventure than like we knew exactly where we were going, we knew exactly where everything was.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: We recognize you know, we know some of the employees now.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_01: So that was but some of the trips, some of the resort trips that we've taken for the first, I'd say, let me throw out a number, for the first, well, I was making shit up, for the first 10 to 12, we would go to a different resort every single time.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: And and then we started making a decision, hey, if we're cutting down on these and and we're instead of going for 10, 12 days like we used to do with our family, when we're going for three or four days or four days or five days, whatever, somewhere in that smaller window.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: But let's go back to a place that we're already already familiar with, because then we don't need to learn where food is and the schedules and all the and the layout.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: We don't need to learn all that.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: We just take all that that the leading edge out.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, I think the the last time we went, the second time we went to this resort, I think it that was awesome.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: This time it's like, okay, yeah, there's not gonna be a fourth time back at this resort, nothing wrong with it.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_01: No, and we told the people when we were leaving, they're like, Well, did you come back?
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: And we're like, no.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_01: They're like, Well, what's wrong?
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing, nothing.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: We just like like we we gotta we gotta go and check a different box and and have a different experience.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it it was really cool just to be on a trip like that and like having all these realizations and being like, you, because I feel like the first couple days was like, holy hell, what's wrong?
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I just don't want to be here and not being able to figure out why.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_02: But as we was we kept having conversations and talking, I was like, Oh, it's not that I don't want to be here, it's just that I'm a reason to be here right now.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: And it I think for me, the even cooler part is we love our home.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we love being home.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: It it's such a departure from Kitko's in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, where it was literally just a freaking war zone.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and our home just was just full of drama and conflict and just just so much pain and so much suffering.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: And we used to go on 10, 12-day benders down in the well, the big uh I used to take a couple days off when I still worked in corporate at Christmas.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I had four days off for Christmas and four days off for New Year's, and then I used to take three days in between.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: And that that gave me a a freaking 11-day or some some crazy eight days or some some crazy, we'll put put the numbers together, right?
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: Four eighty yeah, eleven days.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: And we used to go on an 11-day drinking bender.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and we'd get a trash can, a big trash can.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: We had a trash can, big, big, what, a 35-gallon weight.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, this was back in Oregon.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: So in Oregon, just just for context.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_01: We keep the bottles, yeah.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you have to keep well.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_02: If you you get a you do a bottle deposit, so every bottle, every bottle and can you buy, you pay a deposit on, and when you return them to the grocery store, you get your money back.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_02: So we saved those bottles.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: We saved them so we could take them back because it was a lot of money, right?
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: But anyway, we would fill up a big ass trash can over the course of 11 days, and every day we, you know, and and we did, we, we actually expressed some regret, you know, in in in Cancun, talking about wish we could go back as the people we are now and and relate with our children back then as the people we are now, because they didn't deserve drunken parents and they didn't deserve the stumbling around and and the arguing and the anger and the fights.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: And obviously, you know, it's all for a reason and and we did the best with what we could at the time.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: But you know, wish wish those little girls, our two little girls, could have been raised by these parents instead of instead of those parents, right?
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: You know, the same people, but it's all growth and evolution.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but I mean, we were and we were talking about how back on those days with the when the girls were little and we'd go down for 10, 11, 12 days, we would start drinking at 10 a.m.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and we go all day long.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: Like I we don't know how we did it because now we go to resorts and sometimes it's sometimes it's noon, sometimes it's 2 p.m.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_02: and it's it's crazy.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: But it's always slow.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's very crazy.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_01: And and a couple times this time we went to bed early.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: Not because we were drunk or drank too much, it's because we were tired and we just went to we just went to bed.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: So there are relationship with getting getting away and travel and relationship with all of it has just changed so dramatically.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's really cool to see though.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: Now, this is the 250th episode of the Interwealth Podcast, but that's kind of not true because this this podcast used to be called Lead Love Profit Play.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: And although, you know, the the name is different, um, the podcast is the same, but the name's different.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: The intro music's the same.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: And when I changed the when I changed the intro one time, the the the the voice lead-in, one of my one of my good friends called me and said, Hey, I'm glad you kept that intro intro music the same.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: Because it, you know, it's like uh it's it's not synonymous with it, but when you hear that opening.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know what's coming, Wes, I love you, brother.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's my my my friend in his punk rock band.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but anyway, you know what's coming, and it's really cool that that that has stayed the same.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_01: But the the point being is this is not the same podcast that I launched almost five years ago.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_01: What we're about, what I'm about, what I'm where I am in my life, what I'm teaching, um, how I see life is all completely different.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: And this travel thing is just another element of how people grow.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: And if you're not allowing yourself to grow, then then you you're not really understanding the evolutionary purpose uh and and and the opportunities that we have in life.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I would think that the majority of podcasts that sustain themselves long term have a lot of different iterations with them, just like humans evolve, that evolves too.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_01: I would think so.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: I would think so for sure.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_02: So this is still episode 250.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: It is 250.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_01: What all I was trying to say is the vision for lead love profit play is different from the vision of Interwealth Podcast.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_01: I just chose the continuity of just continuing to build on the work that's already been done instead of old Mike abandon the old and rebuild, you know, rebuild the new, but abandon the old.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: I just kept tacking on because frankly, there is some good value in some of those early episodes.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: Some great interviews, some great people.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_02: I was gonna say lots of interviews back then.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: Lessons I was doing an epic I was doing an interview about every probably three or four, but but the uh it takes it's a certain individual that I'm looking for for the interview.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: So it's it's definitely not somebody that is in the hustle and in the grind.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: I I don't want, I don't want that.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: I don't I it's not that I don't respect it or I don't I don't respect them.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's not aligned.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's not aligned.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's not aligned.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: And and you know, last week talked a little bit about the Mission of the uh the business.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_01: And what we've laid out is the mission of the business is that to help entrepreneurs expand their life and circumstances in an aligned way without self-sacrifice and self-punishment.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: And uh the hustle and grind oftentimes leads to a lot of self-sacrifice and and and self-punishment.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: And I want nothing to do with it.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not, I will not uh uh help someone hurt themselves.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: So um the people that I've had on the podcast, they don't subscribe to the hustle and grind.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: Although some of them, like let's talk about Lucas Walls, right?
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: They work, they get after it.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: But one of the reasons that that we, I am still in their lives, is because they're they're maintaining alignment and they're not losing themselves in the process.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: And every time they see themselves flipping, getting out of alignment, they they have me to recalibrate to get back into alignment.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like a spiritual chiropractor.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, who somebody said that somebody said that in a testimonial one time about you, wasn't it that you were spiritual chiropractors?
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_01: I I I talk about myself as a spiritual.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_02: Who was somebody called okay, maybe it was another term somebody used that was really cool, but it was it was something along those lines.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's like for those guys that I have like one-on-one sessions with your weekly sessions, it's like it's almost like just an adjustment, just a just a mental, emotional adjustment that we make, a perspective adjustment.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: And then they see the world completely differently, and and then you know it takes the edge off and and they they go hit it, but they don't have to hit it and punish themselves.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: I love that.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're good at that.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_01: That's the days that light you up the most.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_01: I am really, really good at that.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_01: And I love teaching.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um early on, it was all about wealth and success and and freedom, right?
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: But uh now it's just about alignment.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's not just about, but it's about alignment and it's about getting clear about what what you know your vision and increasing your belief in yourself and increasing your level of trust in yourself and allowing goodness to show up in your life and asking for help and uh allowing other people to help you instead of just you always being a helper.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um, a lot of good stuff.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: Same, same course, different message.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's it.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_02: And it has been it, it it was impressive that you did not burn down because I remember when you did switch the podcast over, your first inclination was to just shut that one down and start all over.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, no, no, just rebrand it, just rebrand it.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_02: And you did it.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_02: So that's I did it.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_01: And and and one we're gonna we're gonna rebrand at some point.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: The time will be right.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_01: We'll we'll rebrand it, you know, the Interwealth podcast with Mike and sometimes Angie.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_03: And sometimes Angie.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: We still haven't, I still haven't like gotten.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_02: I gotta get me off the image and get us onto the image in some way, shape, or does a great job on finding cute images to use for when we're when we're on a podcast together.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_02: That one with the shower cap and the speedo.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's that was a good one.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_02: That was a really she's awesome.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, she she does she does a good job at finding stuff like that.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_02: We don't need to.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: I could not do this every week.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_02: There's no way.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_01: Like that's it's so why it says sometimes.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_02: It's sometimes Angie.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_02: I just it's so impressive that that, and I'll say it over and over again.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_02: It's so impressive that every single week you do this.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_01: Well, in reality, I could just go out on a walk and put this microphone on and just talk.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and that could become a podcast episode.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't done that yet.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it doesn't need to be.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_02: Not all of them need to be video.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_01: I I can just I can just go out and when I have a message, when I have something I want to share, the the you know, this is just I like having a nice consistent background, right?
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_01: Where ever it, I don't know, that consistency matters to me.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um, just like, you know, if you look at the on the video, the balance between the space on that bookshelf and the space on this bookshelf over here, they're about the same.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_01: You see that?
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's calibrated, and that's the marine in me needing needing things to be like, yeah, in their in their place.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_02: I really want to knock the computer off right now.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_02: Don't do it.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_01: Don't do it, because then we'll start this episode over.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_02: I think it is funny.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_02: That background thing was the that was it was that was one of the biggest things when you started this this damn podcast journey.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, I wanted to I I like having a consistent background and I I like having it look good, and and uh you know it that shit matters to me.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, I'm I'm proud of what, proud of what I've done, and I'm proud of what we've done, and I'm proud of what we've built.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: And although our business is in transition, well, no, now I'm gonna take it back.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_01: Although my business is in transition, because yours is booming.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna say booming.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: I would say booming.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: It went from zero to like three deals.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_01: From how many?
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_02: From zero.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: Booming.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_01: That but that first day, that first day that I came home with a new client, you were pretty proud of me.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_01: So from zero from uh I'm getting emotional.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_01: From zero to one is booming, but you've got another listing, and then you've got another listing behind it.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: So either another listing or another another purchase, something behind it.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_01: But uh, yeah, your business, your business is taking off.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_01: So this is my business, and I'm in transition.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: I gotta figure out where this whole thing is going.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: I I I got I got an idea, but uh it's good to see you on not a yeah, a separate path.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, separate but equal path.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's really cool for the first time in in your life.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_02: And I forgot that while we I get back to Cancun, we were in Cancun and I met another realtor, and she has this genius marketing idea that is very aligned with who I am as a person, and I need to get that going.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_01: Is that the is that the cup?
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so the cup lady?
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, but it's her.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_02: I I start conversation, I can start conversation with anyone.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_02: So we're disgusting.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_02: Walking through the pool, and I see we're Jeep owners.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_02: We drive a Jeep Wrangler, we've had a Jeep Wrangler for the entirety of our existence together.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_00: We've had five Jeep Wranglers over the course since 1995.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_02: That would be impressive.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so yeah, so we've always had a Jeep Wrangler together.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_02: And um, there's the big game with Jeep Wranglers where you have little ducks and you put a little duck on somebody's Jeep and you make them happy and they smile and yay.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_02: But this lady had a cup and it said, the best ducking realtor in Mississippi.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_02: And what she does is she takes she's a Jeep driver too, and she has her little duckies, and the duckies have a QR code that goes to her social media, to her, to her, her real estate page.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm gonna go and start ducking people with my so that I'll only have Jeep drivers as my clients, right?
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um which wouldn't be a bad thing, right?
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_01: Pick your niche.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_01: But anyway, it's really cool, and it's just cool to see you, it's cool to see you get lit up, right?
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_01: So again, where Inner Wealth Global is in a little bit of a transition, it's nice, it's nice to see you taking off and get some air under your wings.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_02: And I look forward to having when we again another growth moment for us recently was I started, I invested in a new real estate coach and a real estate investment coach.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_02: And I we want to start having investments together.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_02: And Mike has always been like, that's he wants nothing to do with it, but I need his business document.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I need your business document.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_02: And when I approached him with that, he's like, Yeah, I'll help you out with the numbers and stuff, but that's that's as far as it goes.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_01: I I just I just don't want to manage the property.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_01: I want to own the property, I've always wanted to own the property.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I I shit, I'd love to own the assets.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_01: I just don't want the the friggin' headaches of managing and of tenants calling me, yeah, and of broken shit and getting called in the middle of the night.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want any of that in my life.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it's cool that I'll have a little piece of you in my business, just like you have a little piece of me in your business.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_02: So it's kind of it's kind of neat how we can have this separate, but then we can manage we do come together.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_01: But there's lanes.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_01: But there's lanes.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_02: And that's cool.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's cool.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_01: We're building something really cool.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_01: Proud of us.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_01: But pretty, pretty fun experience.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_01: Well, number 250 in the books.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: So um, man, what the what the future looks like, who knows?
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_01: We're just gonna keep I think at this point over five years, what I've learned is you evolve naturally and just let everything in your in your life evolve with you.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, don't don't try to keep anything the same.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, because if this continues for five more years, it's gonna look completely different in five years.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_02: We're probably gonna be sitting here talking about our grandchildren.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_01: Five years, holy crap, probably.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_01: But uh here's it, I and let's talk about numbers.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_01: Six continents, 119 countries have heard this podcast.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't that crazy?
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_01: That's amazing.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_01: 119 countries around the world.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_01: There's only like 180 or 190 total.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: So we got almost most over half of all the countries in the world have heard either my voice or our voices.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, isn't that crazy?
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_02: That's crazy.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_01: Like almost some something like 1,850 cities around the world.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's wild.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_01: So literally, the the when I set out the vision of inner wealth global, that's what I had in mind.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_01: And I've had international clients and we've done some international teaching and coaching, and it's been really cool.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_02: Might get to record a podcast internationally this year.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_01: And and I suspect that we will.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_01: We weren't recording together last time when we were traveling, but I suspect this year or this time we will.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_01: And and maybe we'll record one in Germany, one in Austria, and one in the Czech Republic.
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_01: That'll be so now.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_02: Do you have all three of those countries?
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_02: Are all three of those countries on your have been?
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_01: I believe I know Germany for sure.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, definitely Germany.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_01: I believe so.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_02: Because if not, Austria, yes.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm I'm trying to I believe so, because I believe when I got to Czech Republic, because that's my family's homeland, right?
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um Titko is a Czech name.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_01: So when when Czech came online, when Czech Republic came online, I think I got really, really excited.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_01: I think we got all three.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_01: But uh let's fucking go.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_02: Well, thank you for having me along with this weekend.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_01: And to our loyal watchers, to our loyal listeners, um, without without your downloads, it would be hard to keep the motivation and the momentum.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_01: So uh it's it's fun seeing the numbers.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um, they don't always increase.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes they go up, sometimes they go down, but the uh the loyalty stays the same.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: We're we're out there, we're gonna keep cranking out with it with great content, um, keep sharing who we are, because I think these episodes, where it's me and you, it's more about not just, excuse me, not just us sharing lessons, but sharing who we are in the world.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_01: And that's that's kind of cool too, that maybe there's somebody out there interested in learning who we are instead of just what we teach and what we have to deliver in the world.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you for listening.
• 33:25
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you for tuning in.
