Our combined light can keep any monster at bay. We bring together people from around the world, sparks of light and glowing embers with enlightening stories of kindness, success, and overcoming adversity, fanning the flames of love, compassion, and positivity. Sharing their light to help those struggling in darkness. I'm John Verrico and this is Share Your Fire. John Verrico: Hey there, welcome to the Share Your Fire podcast. And boy, is this episode going to be on fire. Our guest today is full of fire and energy. She is the Carpe Diem Queen. She is a seize the day coach and she is an ambassador for global kindness. And just wait till you you're gonna you're gonna love her. I'm gonna bring Beth Robins in with me right now. Beth. There we go. Doing Beth Robins: Hi, hey John, how are ya? John Verrico: great, how are you? Beth Robins: I'm super excited. I love being the queen of Carpe Diem. John Verrico: Well, there you go, right? You know, w you you you earn the title, you should wear the crown. Beth Robins: love it. Thank you. I'm gonna have one made soon. John Verrico: So I, you know, got to meet you through a couple of different forums in the past, and mostly know you as the seize the day coach, the carpet diem coach. you kind of help people to, you know, literally seize the day, kind of take action. And I really love that about you because you're full of energy yourself. So let's talk just a little bit about kind of where that comes from and how you came up with well, where you get all this energy, to help people to seize the day. Beth Robins: Well, you know what? It's it's a rite of passage. We were born with this one beautiful life and I think I think it starts in junior high. We start dimming our little lights, we start not taking chances, our courage wanes and we s we I I think it's like we're waiting for someday. Like someday I'm gonna write the book, someday I'm gonna go to Switzerland or I'm gonna someday I'm gonna do something. And I'm gonna tell you what, so John Verrico: Some day, some day. Beth Robins: it is not on the calendar. And so I I just turned it into stop waiting for someday and start seizing the day. And that doesn't mean, you know, like I I packed up and moved across the country and didn't know anybody. Okay, that was a little extreme. I've jumped out of planes, extreme. Seize the day is just wake up every morning with, you know, as we do, gratitude in your heart, but realize you have this one brand new baby day. You haven't even done anything with it yet. Be grateful for that. And and then just get to decide, like. Who do I get to be today? Maybe I need to be more courageous or forgiving or loving or whatever that is. And just lean with that. Like just go do that and and then suck the marrow out of your day. Like smell the roses. Go jump in the ocean or you know, d drive a different route to work. Do something cray cray that just shakes things up a bit, that wasn't what you did yesterday. It's not we wake up, we make the coffee, we go to work, we rinse, repeat. Well. After a while you sit in there going, my God, ten years just went by and I still haven't done that thing I said I was gonna do. And I'm saying this because I am guilty. My God, I took twelve years to to get to this level. And so when I said, you know what, I'm gonna be that coach, I'm gonna say, Listen, slap you, stop waiting for someday, John Verrico: Ha ha. Beth Robins: let's go. And and then you're like, but I have these fear paradigms and the last time I did that, you know, somebody said something mean to me or whatever, and then we curl up in the ball and John Verrico: right. Beth Robins: Já que John Verrico: Well it's like any every time every time you you you think about trying something new, right? Or taking a chance, taking a risk, starting a new venture, the first ten things that go to your mind are the last ten times you failed. Or all the people Beth Robins: Exactly. John Verrico: who told you that you couldn't do stuff. Beth Robins: Yeah. And why are we so worried about what other people think? They are not living your life. It's it's really none of their business. And we put so much weight on what's Susie gonna say if I start my own podcast. It's like Susie isn't paying attention. She doesn't care if you do it. She doesn't. John Verrico: Yeah, they they don't Beth Robins: She might say something flippant and then you turn it all into a my god, the sky's falling, I shouldn't do it. And it's like really Susie doesn't care. John Verrico: Yeah, we gotta stop comparing ourselves with other people anyway, right? And worrying about what other people say. My grandmother was like that. She was always like she didn't want my mother to get divorced because she was worried about what the neighbors would say instead of Beth Robins: Excellent. John Verrico: whether or not my mother would my and father would be happier apart. Beth Robins: Yes. And and that's so scary that w we stay in toxic situations because we're afraid of what the neighbors are gonna think or man man. I I my my saying is do you boo? Like do you boo for real? Like stop worrying about what everybody else is saying. It doesn't matter. They're not waking up in your physical body every day. And yeah, they don't deserve a place in your brain. So John Verrico: You know, you know, I've done some work with with senior citizens. Of course, I'm one myself, but no, I've actually spoken at you know, assisted living centers and things like that. And people have brought me in because they said, you know, the people just want to sit around. They don't want to do anything. So I I I went in and would talk to them and I would tell them about my mother who at eighty-five years old was dancing and singing and performing. in assisted living centers and senior centers where she was older than half the residents. Beth Robins: How fabulous. John Verrico: You know, at 70 she married a fifty-eight year old singer Beth Robins: Good for her. John Verrico: and broke those tap shoes out of the closet who that had been in there, you know, for decades. and and so the whole focus is, you know, when you have an opportunity to do something, it there's so many reasons why you can say no. There are so many reasons why you could say, I'll get to it. Or maybe later, or Someday, someday, someday, like you were saying before. But you know, the the thing is, just my thing is I say, why not? Beth Robins: Woohoo. That's that's a good good phrase. Why not? John Verrico: That's my phrase. That is my phrase. Just why not? My problem is it gets me in trouble sometimes because I also have helium arm. Beth Robins: Yeah. John Verrico: Ha ha ha. Beth Robins: I love that helium arm. John Verrico: But but there are so many things to experience in the world. And so many times we say, we'll get to this someday. We keep putting it off and putting it off. And that someday might never come. So many times I've seen people who've saved you know, they saved up their money and they they didn't want to take vacations because they had to work and all this other stuff. And they said, as soon as I retire, I'm gonna go and do this stuff. And they don't get around to doing it. Beth Robins: Yeah, I I've heard about the Rainy Day fund and one of my mentors would say, Why are you saving up for something you don't want to have happen? Like what if the car breaks down or the the refrigerator breaks or whatever? Why are you saving up for something you don't want to have happen? You're pouring all that energy into something negative when you could invest in making your life rock and roll. Like, what are we doing? You know, we're saving up for in case something bad happens instead of just do your life now. You're not promised tomorrow. I hate to tell you that. John Verrico: And and and that's just it. I I I build models. you know, not cars and ships and airplanes, like most people when they build models. I build monster models. I was a big monster fan when I was a kid. And so I love I was actually, you know, inspired by monsters, monster movies when I was a kid because you know, the little guy still won and I was the little kid being picked on by bullies all the time. So that was my inspiration. But so I love building these model kits. And so I have been I I've got probably 200 kits downstairs waiting for me to sit and build and paint them and turn them into dioramas that I've just been putting off and putting off. And, you know, when I retired from my day job a couple of years ago, I said, I'm gonna get down there and start doing those things. I've done one in the past three years, and so you know, I'm just as guilty. as as everyone else, I keep putting things off. So every time I talk to you or hear you speak someplace, I'm inspired to darn it, I'm gonna go down there. And and so yeah, get in the basement. And so Beth Robins: Get in the basement. John Verrico: I've been doing a lot of a lot of stuff in the basement, mostly preparatory. like some of the things I'm doing is I'm clearing off some shelf space and selling some of the old stuff that I have so that I have space to put the stuff when I build in Beth Robins: Okay, that's a good step. I mean, that's you're you're doing the prep work. I think that when we have those things like that, there is nothing wrong with scheduling that. Like in your calendar from one to four, I am in the basement working on this thing. And you schedule it maybe three days a week and it's on your schedule just like anything else is, you John Verrico: Yeah. Yeah. Beth Robins: know? John Verrico: Well, having the helium arm that I do, I have a tendency to overcommit my schedule. And it's it's taken me a while to figure it out, but I now have blocked off sections of days and whole days so that I actually have time so that my wife doesn't think I'm a stranger. Beth Robins: That's important too. John Verrico: Ha ha ha. Beth Robins: That's important. But see, you're using your calendar. That's awesome. That's like step one in seizing the day. You gotta schedule it. I always I I tell my clients, okay, they say, I'm gonna do this thing. I'm like, okay, what day are you doing at what time? And they're like, huh? I'm like, no, by John Verrico: Ha ha Beth Robins: when will you have that done? And then they gotta tell me, Wednesday at four o'clock. And I write it down, and you can bet I sent them a message and Wednesday at four o'clock, did you do the do? Did you get it done? John Verrico: You are you are an accountability coach, that's for sure. Beth Robins: Exactly. Exactly. And after a few of those where they're like, Eee, no, I didn't do it then they know I'm gonna come after it, so John Verrico: I I love it. Well, that's the kind of energy that people need though. They because we do get so wrapped up and then we'll find that that time that we set aside to to go to the gym or to do whatever, all these things that we say we promise that we will set time to do. Something else gets in the way. well, you know, I didn't have a chance. I don't have the energy today. I don't feel like it. this came up. I've got to go there instead. well, I know I wasn't going to take any business calls at that on that day, but I need to take this one. Beth Robins: Yeah. And that's actually in a weird way a fear paradigm because if you really, really wanted to do that thing, you'd go do it. There's a reason you have distraction and delay. You know, you it's like people sit Well, it's an excuse. Right. And and you sit down, John Verrico: Called looking for an excuse is what it is. Beth Robins: you're gonna write that book, you know, okay, today I'm gonna write chapter one and then the phone rings or you realize that you forgot the laundry in the dryer or whatever and then day turns upside down and then you never do it. John Verrico: Life keeps lifing. Beth Robins: Exactly. It sounds like Les Brown. Life be lifein. John Verrico: Exactly. That's right. That's right. Well, where do you think I stole that from? Beth Robins: well there you go. Okay. John Verrico: Beth, you know, besides seizing the day and understanding that, you know, life is short. You never know what opportunities you're going, you know, make only come once. You know, my wife had the glorious opportunity many years ago to work with Peter Torque from The Monkeys. And Beth Robins: Cool. John Verrico: to be the manager of his blues band. And she was doing it like a little bit part-time. And then he offered her an opportunity to kind of take it over. And she was sitting there going, okay, I was raised in the mindset of having a, you know, day job with a steady paycheck and all of this. And this is probably not going to be lucrative, you know, touring around with a blues band for crying out loud, you know. and so It was a lot of back and forth in her mind, but finally she said, You know, I don't want to get to be eighty years old and not have done this and say, I wish I had. Beth Robins: So smart. John Verrico: So yeah, and it opened up doors for a wonderful, you know, sub chapter of our of our life. You know, for over twenty Beth Robins: How cool. John Verrico: years we were working with and became friends with Peter Torque from the monkeys and did all Beth Robins: So cool. John Verrico: all kinds of wonderful adventures that happen from that. But, you know, when when an opportunity like that happens and you sit there and you try to reason it out, you can come up with, like you said, a zillion excuses why you shouldn't. But then you've got to Beth Robins: Yeah, and the question is, what would you love? Would you love to go on tour with Peter Torque? Yeah, that sounds great. But it doesn't sound responsible. Maybe you know this is John Verrico: It's right. Beth Robins: that and then that's like, my God, stop thinking with your logic brain. Stop thinking with your heart and what would I love? And what if it all works out? What if you have grand adventures? Well which you did. Right? And and you John Verrico: Yes. Yes. Yeah. Beth Robins: know what? And what if it's it doesn't work out? Okay, then you go back and get a nine to five, whatever. But you had you you took the chance, you seized the day. John Verrico: That's exactly it. And that's what I love that's what I love about this, and that's what I love about talking with you because you're that continuous reminder of that. So when we get into our doldrums and our shudders and you know, I always say don't shoot on yourself. Beth Robins: Right? No shouldas. You know, you said something, you said life is short and I used to say that. In fact I have a whole saying in my guest bathroom about life is short, so burn the candles and do these wonderful things and and all that's great, but the the phrase life is short. Life is as long as it's gonna be for you and we don't know how long our lives are. And th so come from the perspective of life is a gift. Life you know, and and not short or long or Whatever, it's just life is a gift. So that every day you is a gift and and you act accordingly. You know, you you live from that gratitude, you you seize the day, you go do cool stuff. because you don't know about tomorrow. But life is short is it's a perspective. So I don't know, I just threw that out. John Verrico: No, that's that's a good that's a good point. and life is short is a very negative connotation to it then, doesn't it? Beth Robins: Yeah. It's like, no. Then we have panic, like, you know, life's short and and I'm 60. my God, like what John Verrico: Yeah, yeah. Let's squeeze everything in then. Beth Robins: I'm 60. My whole life is coming to an end. No, no. It's just an age, it's just something and now we just go do it. it's funny, I talk about these things I've always wanted to do. I I moved to San Diego. That was that was key. And I'm I'm looking over to my right at Catalina Island. And I can't tell you how many times I've said I can't wait. One day I'm going to Catalina Island. I still have not gone. And you know why? I haven't put it on my calendar. So that John Verrico: Ha ha ha. Beth Robins: when I am going to do that is going to be on my calendar. I'm picking a day. It's gonna be a random Wednesday, and I'm gonna go to Catalina. I'm gonna touch the ground. I'm gonna get a cup of coffee and then I'm gonna get back on the ferry and come back. But I'm gonna go to Catalina. John Verrico: Okay, so I'm gonna send you notes every Wednesday to say, Did you go? Did you go? Did you go? Beth Robins: I know, okay. I hope you do. John Verrico: man. So I have to ask before we r run out of time, and then and you know, we're already almost halfway through our our our allotted time frame. but I do want to ask about, you know, this this global kindness movement now, because it's so important for us to to seize the day, to do things that are important to ourselves so that we have a fulfilled life, but we also have an impact on the people that are around us. Beth Robins: Yeah. I love the word y you said impact because I woke up this morning thinking about this. It's like a giant boulder being dropped into into the water of our lives. Because the ripple effect of doing acts of kindness is mind blowing. And and the founders, you know, I I credit this to Chin Yao. He's he he and I found each other because I have the the global whatever seize the day movie. Where I said, I want to impact a hundred million souls. Well, he's like, We're going for a billion. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna hitch my wagon John Verrico: Wow. Beth Robins: to you. And it's like, well, how do you impact a billion people with a global kindness movement? And so they've made it a season. It's November 1st to January 31st. And it's it's really so simple. They've they've created an app where I can go and say, I pledge that in 90 days I'm gonna do. 39 acts of kindness. And then every time I do one, I register it on the app. And so now that gets credit. But what's really cool is that I tell you, I I opened that door for you, or I bought you the cup of coffee. I did this. Look at this app. You you get the QR code, and now you're saying I received it, but now you're gonna pay it forward and do acts of kindness. So now that's how it just goes and it costs zero dollars. It's just random acts of calling. calling a friend or visiting somebody in the hospital or like it's really not hard to do thirty acts of kindness, sixty, ninety, whatever that is. And man, that that impact is is I in my heart it's immeasurable, but they are they've created this app to actually measure it. So I think I think it's so cool. And and they're gonna have one one day, I believe it's November eleventh, where Everybody who's involved, we have all these global ambassadors that on that one day we have a group meditation where we are focusing all of our hearts and all of our energy on kindness and just to raise the collective vibration around the world, I think it it's gonna be unbelievable. I I I just I'm I'm so excited for for this whole season, for the whole day and yeah, and I appreciate you letting me talk about it a little bit because I we're just at the beginning of getting it ready to to be launched, so I'm I'm super sig excited. John Verrico: I'm very excited about this. I mean, I've you know, we we've heard of things like World Kindness Day and Random Acts of Kindness Day and different things that pop up throughout the year. But to to kind of bring this all together into a season, that's really amazing. So it's three months long, gives you plenty of time to do some kind things. But you know what's interesting about it is that, you know, normally people will say, you know, you do an act of kindness and and you don't really expect or or you know seek any recognition for it. And so it may seem a little bit strange to say, hey, I just held the door for you. Beth Robins: Right, right. John Verrico: but then, you know, then you're basically asking those people to pass it to to pass it forward. And that is just a whole new way of thinking, but what a great way to kind of capture the spirit of it across Beth Robins: Yeah. John Verrico: the spectrum and get it and get some measurable results and see, you know, how many things really happen, especially when you're doing it with intentionality. Beth Robins: Exactly. And and it's a pledge. And you know, we we're getting all the kids involved around the world, you know, ministers of of education. I'm part of Kids for Peace here in Carlsbad, California, which is I don't have all the numbers, but I think 22 million children around the world are involved in this. And we have businesses that that pledge to be kinda certified companies. And by them pledging to to do that, that ensures that the curriculum of Kids for Peace around the world is free for all kids anywhere. And and so the the Kids for Peace movement is is also involved in this this global kindness as well. And I I think the children are the the ticket, you know, because they love to have that world kindness week in school and and they pledge and John Verrico: Yes. Beth Robins: and the classroom that that does the most acts of kindness gets the pizza party in the room. So there's, you know, all that there's so many ways to make the incentives just making the kids want to do this and and get excited about it and, you know, get their parents involved and their parents' companies involved. it John Verrico: So I'm tak I'm taking notes here about the kids for peace. So what age group does that really target, primarily? Beth Robins: It's all it's kindergarten through high school. So they're all involved. they all c they they make the curriculum. It's not the grown ups. So and it started in two thousand twelve here. And now we're involved with schools. a group of went to Kenya this summer on a trip and they you know, they they're coming in and and the kids are all over there with with kids for peace. And it's it's so like, my gosh, this started as a little idea with with some moms in Carls Bank, California. And now it's just this mushroom. and it's just growing and growing and growing. It's it's super excited. And it's it's so easy for a company to say, yeah, I want to be a kind of certified company. It's it's a nominal investment every year. And to know what you're doing, the impact that you're having, it's it's it's a beautiful, beautiful thing to be a part of. John Verrico: certified companies. I want to look that one up too. Beth Robins: I'll hook you up for sure. You everybody wants to be one. And and you'll get like a little seal, it goes in the bottom of your emails, and it and then you it's it's in your heart, like man, you're doing really great things. And I've I went to the kickoff this year in Carlsbad and all these little little kids, they had a whole skit and and it was just beautiful. And and if you drive the main freeway that connects San Diego to LA and actually further up is the five, and they've got this huge thing and I think the letters are like six feet tall and there's sixteen letters in that's sixteen schools in Carlsbad and each school got to design the letter and it spells out Kindness Matters. So when you're driving north, everybody sees that. And it's now it's all over Carlsbad, but that sign is like wow. And the kids the kids did that. They made that. They they erected that. And and how great that we are instilling I I think kindness is one of the greatest characters we could instill in our kids. John Verrico: You know, and I think they all kind of start off that way, right? Beth Robins: Yeah. John Verrico: Kids kids start off with a sense of wonder and a and just by nature they are naturally kind until they are taught to see differences, until they are s thought to they're until they are taught to think of people differently, and and that it that's all taught behavior. Beth Robins: Yes. John Verrico: So so keeping that reinforcement there of what kindness truly is, I think that man, that that brings us back to where we should be. Beth Robins: Exactly. Yeah. I think there's there's no downside to being kind and to really embody the fact that it matters. It matters to be kind. Everything else comes from that. John Verrico: And and it, you know, you can look at any relationship, how you get along with anybody else, whether it's in the workplace or in school or in life in general, you know, it doesn't cost you anything to be kind. And you're not weak. If you're so much, so much so many often people look, all that kindness thing, that's all that, you know, warm fuzzy stuff that you know, Beth Robins: Mm-hmm. John Verrico: and it's it's you know, it's not a sign of weakness. That there are so many people who especially get into executive positions. Who think that showing any semblance of kindness is a a sign of weakness. And that is not true. Actually, it takes more strength to be kind. Beth Robins: I a hundred percent agree and you know when we're not kind, we're we're operating from a place of ego, and ego is fear. And that's you know, if I don't act like I'm this bravado, you know, CEO and we're gonna do it my way, you know, that's because I'm really insecure inside. I want you to like me, I want you to respect me, so I'm gonna be this and and you know, to say that kindness is a sign of weakness. No, it's to not be kind is a sign of ego and fear. John Verrico: I love it. That's that is very enlightening. And so thank you for sharing that fire with you know, cheap plug. Beth Robins: There you go. Well the opposite of that is love and love is kindness. So there we go. John Verrico: Yeah, absolutely. This is great. Beth, where can people find out more about you and about all these things that you're involved with? Beth Robins: You know what? Hop into bethrobins.com. It's super easy. And my last name is spelled with one B. So it's B-E-T-H-R-O-B-I-N-S dot com. You can find out all that stuff and you can just say, hey, I heard about this kindness thing. if you just send me a contact and say that, I will get you any information I can get you. We want everybody involved. Yeah. John Verrico: This is great. I'm looking forward to learning more. I'm looking forward to learning more and to getting involved. I there's a lot of stuff that I plan on on doing over the next few months with this kind. Beth Robins: Lot so. John Verrico: I I try to be kind all the time because people weren't kind to me when I was a kid. Beth Robins: Okay. John Verrico: And so I've always been a proponent for the underdog, for the people who were bullied or made to think that Beth Robins: Mm. John Verrico: they were not not worth anything or didn't have any value or that they were less than any others. And so I've always tried to to stand up for those folks, even though I was still the little guy myself. Beth Robins: I love that. John Verrico: but if I can help people, if I can help people realize that they have value, and the real way to do that is through kindness. Yeah. Beth Robins: Yeah, that's that's I think that's the ticket. That's the ticket, John. I was bullied John Verrico: Yeah. Yeah. Beth Robins: too in junior high and I I've literally like closed that chapter because I I'm not gonna come from that place of victimhood, which is where you're not coming from that. You're coming from the okay, that happened to me. that's John Verrico: Yeah. Beth Robins: not an excuse for anything other than my excuse for I am gonna make sure I am going to be kind and teach kindness and spread kindness. John Verrico: Yeah, exactly. Be be the example of exactly the opposite type of behavior. Beth Robins: Yeah. John Verrico: Yeah. We have choices in life, you know, as we as we encounter people and and go through situations, we have a choice of how we're gonna let the situation impact us. We have a choice of what behaviors we're going to emulate. And yeah. Beth Robins: Yeah, that's that's what C's the day is. You wake up with a choice and a chance. A chance to have an amazing day and the choice of who do you get to be today? John Verrico: And going going back to, you know, kind of where we started with the season today whole focus, understanding that we shouldn't postpone our happiness. There's no reason in the world where we can't be happy right now. You know, don't wait. Don't I'll be happy when I get that new job. I'll be happy when I get married, I'll be happy when whatever. stop. Just stop waiting to be happy and just be happy and share that happiness with other people. Plain and simple. Beth Robins: Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's plain. It's not necessarily simple, but it's it's definitely a lot better. I I use the analogy of paddling downstream. You ever you ever go whitewater rafting? Okay, John Verrico: yes. Beth Robins: so we don't put the boat in and then turn it upstream and try to paddle really hard. And that's what people look at it at as life. Like I gotta effort, I gotta I gotta work hard. It's like, no, just turn the boat down because it's gonna go downstream. Whether you paddle or not, you might hit a few rocks along the way, you might tip over. John Verrico: Mm-hmm. Beth Robins: if you if you're smart, you'll use your oar and you'll you'll steer around some of those, but that's really it. The boat will get to the bottom. You know, our life will take this journey and you could make it a struggle, you could suffer. Why? Or you could live this crazy, fun, exhilarating, mind-blowing life. Those are your choices. Paddle upstream, paddle downstream. I'm gonna be in the boat going down. If you wanna get in my boat, come along. John Verrico: I'm always along for the ride. Beth Robins: awesome. John Verrico: Beth, this was great. I really appreciate your taking the time to chat with us today and to share about seizure fire seizure fire. Seizure day. and and also about the global kindness movement that you are an ambassador for and a part of. And I will put some information in the show notes for people if they want to learn more and get involved. And this has been a fantastic conversation and I hope people reach out to you.
