Latest / The One Small Change Podcast / Unlocking Potential: The Power of Brainwave Technology with Morry Zelcovitch
Transcript
- 0:00Hello, everybody. I am so happy that you're here with me for the One
- 0:04Small Change podcast. I'm your host, Yvonne McCoy,
- 0:08and I'm gonna bring almost 30 years of entrepreneurial
- 0:11experience and a passion for discovering growth through the power of
- 0:15making small change. And I am so glad that you could
- 0:19join me because the entrepreneurial journey is not for the weak of
- 0:22heart, and you should definitely do it with other people. And so I
- 0:26have invited a really amazing person to share
- 0:30their experience with you today, and his name is Maurice
- 0:33Zelkovich. And I have to tell you that he is
- 0:37really different than anybody that I've ever met before,
- 0:40and I will share a secret. The first time I met him, he scared the
- 0:44bejesus out of me at a networking event.
- 0:48But he has helped me so much in the small
- 0:52amount of time that I've known him. I know that you're gonna enjoy
- 0:56getting some insights from him. So let's take it away and not waste any more
- 1:00time. Laurie, I am so
- 1:03glad that you're doing this. I have learned so much from you, and
- 1:07I cannot wait for you to tell me and my audience
- 1:11the small change that happened to you that had a bigger
- 1:15impact than you expected. Well, thank you,
- 1:19Yvonne. I appreciate being here and the opportunity. So
- 1:23the small change was
- 1:28you know, that's such a good question because I don't know if I've had
- 1:32any small changes, actually. I
- 1:35guess the small change would be sitting at a campfire
- 1:40in my, maybe, late thirties,
- 1:45early forties, and suddenly
- 1:49realizing 4 or 5 hours had passed instead of
- 1:535 minutes like it felt like. And the reason why that
- 1:57small change was so important to me was
- 2:01up until that point, I had been going through about 40 years of
- 2:04nonstop depression. And for me
- 2:08being depressed all the time, time passed agonizingly
- 2:12slow. Mhmm. Even though I'm 62 years old, I feel like
- 2:16I'm closer to a1000 because of those
- 2:2040 years. And experiencing
- 2:24time moving so quickly, that was the first time
- 2:28in my life that I experienced that. And that
- 2:31is really what gave me the answer I needed and helped me to turn my
- 2:35life around. So the small change was
- 2:405 minutes. That was really 4 hours. And
- 2:44and and aside from the I guess
- 2:47aside from the Change, I mean, the the the time differential,
- 2:52did you feel better or did you
- 2:56I felt different. I was, like,
- 3:00nonstop questions and questions. You know, I had spent all those
- 3:04years for ways to feel better, including various addictions,
- 3:08including seeing doctors, including trying natural and homeopathic
- 3:11remedies, including trying, you know, meditations and
- 3:15hypnosis and EFT and EMDR and tapping
- 3:19techniques and thousands of different things, all of which I believe
- 3:22are very good. They just weren't good for me at the time.
- 3:26And it just opened my eyes to the fact
- 3:30that my life didn't have to be the way it was.
- 3:33Just seeing the The. You know, 40 years of of crawling
- 3:37like a slug on the ground, and then all of a sudden I'm flying
- 3:41like a bird in the air. That was enough of a change
- 3:45to let me know that I didn't have to live that way anymore.
- 3:49So, you know, the little change brought on incredible possibilities
- 3:53for The. And I think that's what really, you know,
- 3:56was the power of that little small change. It's interesting. You made me
- 4:00think of it that way. Thank you. I appreciate that. So so I'm I'm I'm
- 4:04really curious. Did something different happen in that were you
- 4:08doing something or just I was
- 4:11smoking a big fat joint sitting around a campfire.
- 4:16And that was nothing different for me. Believe me. The
- 4:20not. Was different. So tell me tell me from
- 4:23that little starting point
- 4:27where that took you. Because it sound like you you had explored all kinds
- 4:31of modalities. Yes. I did. So what happened
- 4:34was I thought to myself, so what's different? Exactly your question.
- 4:38What was different about that situation that made time pass so fast?
- 4:42So I was trying to think. I had my head in my hands for most
- 4:46of it, but there was a fire going. And I remembered
- 4:50that I you One, when you're around a fire with dry, dry wood
- 4:53Mhmm. There's all these little air pockets. Right? And as the wood is
- 4:57burning, you hear pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, almost like a popcorn Yeah.
- 5:01Maker. Right? And I'm hearing all these sounds, and it it struck me
- 5:04that that was the only thing different that I was paying attention,
- 5:08that I noticed these sounds. I would have thought maybe the flickering of
- 5:12the flame, but I wasn't really watching the fire. Like I said, my head was
- 5:15in my hands most of the time, and I it was just the sound.
- 5:19So when I got back from the camping trip, I went to what I Small
- 5:23the paper Internet, which, of course, is otherwise known as a library
- 5:27because they didn't have the Internet back then, so I called the paper Internet.
- 5:31And I started reading articles on neuroplasticity.
- 5:35Believe it or not, all these things, you know, quantum physics, it all existed before.
- 5:39Right. Psychology,
- 5:43perception. You know, like I said,
- 5:46quantum physics. Anything at all that I thought might have something to do with my
- 5:50perception. But I specifically leaned
- 5:53towards sound. Can sound have some kind
- 5:57of effect on my brain. And
- 6:00it made me think about that because, you know, when I listen to certain music,
- 6:04I got really upset and agitated. In other music I'd listened to, I'd feel really
- 6:08calm. Oh, I I I absolutely agree with that. When when
- 6:12I first married my husband who likes all kinds of music,
- 6:15he had a particular record, which is a jazz record The
- 6:19he liked to play in the morning, but it sounded like a herd of
- 6:22elephants, and it just drove me. It was like,
- 6:27you know, just drove me crazy. And and the reverse of that is that,
- 6:30you know, when I go to sleep at night One I play, like, you know,
- 6:33like, restful music, there's one that's like a didgeridoo
- 6:37Yeah. With that low humming. I
- 6:41can actually feel it vibrate through my through my body. I mean,
- 6:45it's like, you know, it it I I feel it.
- 6:49You know? Yeah. And it's pleasant. Right? Yeah. It is. It's very
- 6:52Yeah. And you don't know why it's pleasant. If one music makes you, you
- 6:56know, agitated, the other music calms you. But this is
- 7:00just how we are as humans. So I really delved
- 7:03into the research. And Yvonne,
- 7:07after trying, you know, thousands of different techniques, I came across this thing called
- 7:11brainwave One treatment. You know, 40 years of research
- 7:15makes you quite a good researcher. So even though I'm not
- 7:19formally trained in research, I'm a good researcher. And you
- 7:22research on yourself? Yes. I had no choice because
- 7:26I actually tried to kill myself a half a dozen times. That I can
- 7:30remember. There may be more times. Self harm and
- 7:33injury owe a lot. But, the actual
- 7:37death attempts, 6. Thing is, if I really wanted to die
- 7:41One, should have been enough. Yep. Just to show you how not
- 7:45smart I am. It took me 6 times to figure that out.
- 7:49So I should have figured it out after the first time if I was actually
- 7:52a smart guy. This is the oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead.
- 7:56Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. I was just gonna say, I think that that's one
- 7:59of the things about life, I think, is
- 8:03that some of our limiting beliefs and some of
- 8:06our are slowly killing us, and we don't know it.
- 8:10Do you know? Because it it's taking us down a road that
- 8:14is not letting us be our best,
- 8:18and it's kind of killing our spirit, and it's, you know, making
- 8:22us make choices that are are are not the most
- 8:25optimal. See, I I kind of
- 8:29can't disagree with The. But in my case, I
- 8:33actually was misunderstanding everything that was going
- 8:36on. I believe it was all happening to my benefit, not to my
- 8:40detriment. And again, I'm not a smart guy, and it took me 40
- 8:43years to figure that out. What happened was, oh, my
- 8:47life is horrible. Oh, this sucks. Oh, this sucks. Oh, this sucks. They hate me.
- 8:50I hate me. I hate the world. I hate you. I hate this. I hate
- 8:53that. And when something happened to me, I do this.
- 8:58You know, the classic protection, close your eyes back off.
- 9:02I changed that. When I started researching and I
- 9:06started listening, I started creating my very first recording. Instead of doing
- 9:09this, I started doing The. And
- 9:13then I started learning. It turns out
- 9:17that I was trying to be taught by the universe,
- 9:21by myself, by some force,
- 9:25things I needed to know. And I was misinterpreting them as bad. And when I
- 9:29thought of them as bad, I tried to avoid them instead of
- 9:32learn from them. But I When I started to learn from them, I felt better.
- 9:36But I think that is one of the the beliefs that
- 9:40we have is that when something bad happens, you avoid
- 9:44it. Don't touch the hide iron. Stay away from this. And,
- 9:49you know, like I said, I probably say this every Podcast, but
- 9:53Buckminster Fuller says we're born geniuses One The it's educated out of
- 9:56us. And so and so I think, you
- 10:00know, one of the the changes that happened to me is when bad things
- 10:04happen, I now say, am I being curious or am I
- 10:07being judgmental? And the judgmental is this is terrible, go
- 10:11away, you know, kind of thing. And the curious is like, tell me
- 10:15more about this. Why did this happen? What can I learn from this? What is
- 10:18the gift? Mhmm. That's great. And I think that
- 10:22is not the way that we're taught. So if something bad
- 10:26happens to you or you meet somebody and you don't hit it off with The,
- 10:30you know, for many decades, my thing is I don't need you in my
- 10:34life. You know, as opposed to maybe this is something I need to
- 10:38learn about myself. Sure. Yeah.
- 10:41So I'm I'm curious. I like I said, I know you've done all these
- 10:45modalities. Tell me more about,
- 10:50if someone's interested in what you did. You told me that it's not called
- 10:54inner I
- 10:57forgot. It's brainwave it's called brainwave entrainment. What it does is it
- 11:01takes advantage of stimulation patterns, things like sounds or
- 11:05visual stimuli. And what happens is
- 11:09our thoughts and various other activities and The things
- 11:13we're stimulated by create a reaction in our brain,
- 11:17brainwave activity. Small of us have probably heard of brainwave activity, things like alpha,
- 11:21theta, beta, gamma, delta. These are just names denoting
- 11:24how many times a neuron is pulsing per second. That's all it does.
- 11:29And the thing is depending on how many times it pulses per second in the
- 11:32region of the brain, it releases different kinds of chemistry. It's neurochemicals
- 11:36like endorphins and hormones and neurotransmitters. And these things
- 11:40act together as kind of like a soup, a recipe, if you
- 11:43will. And if your life tastes good,
- 11:47it's because you're likely creating the kind of chemistry that
- 11:51together tastes good. If your life doesn't taste good,
- 11:55like mine didn't for 40 odd years, then
- 11:59you're not a good cook. You know? You're creating the wrong mental
- 12:02thoughts, which create the wrong chemistry. And keep in mind, I
- 12:06don't believe the mind knows what's right or wrong or good or
- 12:10bad. It just gives you what you want. Right. And it assumes what you want
- 12:13is what you think of. Because what I'm thinking of, if I'm thinking of being
- 12:16in pain all the time, then my mind says, oh, well, he's in pain all
- 12:19the The. Means he should be feeling pain, so I'm gonna create chemistry that allows
- 12:23him to feel in pain. If you hug someone and it feels really good,
- 12:26that's because you're releasing oxycodone. You're
- 12:30releasing all kinds of different neurochemicals that are
- 12:33natural that make you feel good. Right. So I'm
- 12:37gonna ask natural. It's all how things just behave naturally in the
- 12:41world. And once we understand that, we can engage
- 12:45our brain to achieve certain certain
- 12:48states, if you will, that automatically will create the chemistry
- 12:52that's desired to give us the desired result. So we can we
- 12:56can there are sounds that McCoy naturally.
- 13:01And when I say that, you One, and we just are not
- 13:05attuned to them. I mean, the one that comes to mind that always makes
- 13:09me happy is that sound of a little
- 13:12kid laughing. Do you know? Years
- 13:16ago, Toys R Us
- 13:20did a commercial that was about and it was just
- 13:24almost all these little kids laughing. I mean, it hardly had any words
- 13:27in it. I actually taped it because it made me feel so happy that
- 13:31that there's a certain pitch or whatever that that, you know,
- 13:35whenever there's there's one now Yvonne, I think, about Saint Jude's hot
- 13:38hospital that has a little kid laughing. Anyway, so they occur
- 13:42naturally, but we don't capture them or we can't control them
- 13:45because they come at random times or whatever.
- 13:50Would that be correct? Well, I believe we might be hardwired
- 13:54to react certain ways. Like, when a baby crying, we get worried. When a
- 13:57baby's laughing, it makes us feel good. You
- 14:01know, I don't believe in truth or fact because
- 14:05it makes me stop thinking One I do. I mean, I went through 40 years
- 14:08of my life thinking I knew everything. In other words, the world sucks. I suck.
- 14:12I'm miserable. I'm gonna be always be miserable. I was
- 14:16right. 10 minutes later, an hour later, a year later, I felt exactly like I
- 14:20thought I was gonna feel. But that didn't do me any
- 14:23good. It didn't serve me. As a researcher,
- 14:27going in with a preconceived notion also doesn't serve me.
- 14:31Right. So I don't believe in truth, and I don't believe in fact. That doesn't
- 14:35mean if you do, I disagree with you. I also think
- 14:39we all agree or we all exist in our own little universes.
- 14:42Mhmm. Because quantum physics at its very most basic level, at least
- 14:46my understanding of it, at its most basic level says nothing
- 14:50exists until it's observed. Now human beings are
- 14:53interesting because we don't just observe things in my current
- 14:57understanding. We also interpret them. We define them. The minute
- 15:01that happens, we are creating our own reality.
- 15:04So for me, there's an old song that has a line in
- 15:08it that says something to the effect of you're always right, and I'm never wrong.
- 15:12So even if we disagree, we're not really disagreeing
- 15:16because I'm existing in my universe One you're existing in your universe.
- 15:20And, again, whatever you observe is right for you. When I was younger, I
- 15:24used to wait for you to stop talking so I could tell you how wrong
- 15:27you are. That's that was my life. I knew
- 15:30better. How did I know better? I didn't know anything. I was an idiot, but
- 15:34I knew better. Now everybody says anything.
- 15:38I'm totally fine with it because I believe that that's
- 15:42their impression of the universe around them, which makes it 100%
- 15:46legitimate. Mine might be completely different. Doesn't
- 15:50matter. Makes no difference at all. I live in my universe. You live in
- 15:53yours. Just like we think we're in the same universe,
- 15:58our universe is sometimes brush up against each other, and that's when we're talking. That's
- 16:01when we're interacting. And then when we separate, we're not interacting
- 16:05anymore. But we're all still part of the same grander
- 16:09being with the same grander purpose, and all of
- 16:12us are supposed to be happy. And all of us are supposed to be happy
- 16:16a 100% of the time. And that's why I believe currently
- 16:20that One understanding is that happy feels
- 16:24good. Sad does not. Both are valuable.
- 16:28Both are beneficial. Happy tells me I'm thinking and or doing the
- 16:32right things. Sad tells me I'm doing or thinking the wrong things.
- 16:35It's an indicator to get me back on the road to feeling happy. That's why
- 16:39happy feels good. Pretty simple, really. So
- 16:43tell me tell me with the the work with the brainwaves and
- 16:46stuff. As entrepreneurs, we're always
- 16:50navigating all kinds of stuff. What does that mean for me? I mean, in my
- 16:54everyday life. So as an entrepreneur, we need to
- 16:57be pretty fast on our feet. We need to be able to think. We need
- 17:00to be able to react. We need to be creative. We need to be insightful.
- 17:05We need to be able to read other people because ultimately everybody's a
- 17:08salesperson. I'm not a salesperson. I don't call myself a
- 17:12salesperson. I'd say I'm lousy at sales. And yet I have
- 17:1515 partners brewing with me. I must be pretty
- 17:19good at sales if I have 15 different companies and corporations who wanna work with
- 17:23me. We all are always selling
- 17:26ourselves. It's about optimizing our
- 17:30brain. A lot of us go to a health club or we go for a
- 17:33jog or we lift weights or we do a combination of the
- 17:37above because it's important for us to stay physically healthy,
- 17:40physically fit. We wanna look good. We wanna feel good. We wanna live
- 17:44a nice, long, happy life. But very few of us exercise the
- 17:48muscle between our ears. Mhmm. I treat the brain like a muscle.
- 17:52My recording is take advantage of something called the frequency following response,
- 17:56which is the kind of thing that makes your head bop or your toes tap
- 17:59when you're listening to music you like. That is also
- 18:03the frequency following response. Mine is just geared towards your
- 18:07brain to optimize it. So the brain I consider to be a
- 18:10muscle. If it's a muscle like any other muscle, then the
- 18:14stronger it is, anything it does is likely to be easier, more
- 18:17efficient, and better. Well, the brain does
- 18:21everything or at least as an intermediary for everything. As I
- 18:25mentioned before, the brain creates chemistry
- 18:29through creating frequency.
- 18:32If you do not know something happened, you don't know
- 18:36it because your brain didn't notice it. If you slap me in my face
- 18:40and my face flies off to the side here One then it flies
- 18:43back, but my brain doesn't create an acknowledgment that
- 18:47that happened. In other words, I don't get brainwave activity that
- 18:51creates chemistry that says, hey. Your head just went flying over here, and
- 18:54then it flew back. I won't know what happened.
- 18:59I'll be completely unaware of it, and so will you and so will everybody
- 19:03else. The trick here is to understand that the brain is
- 19:06the CPU. We We are not hard drives to put information
- 19:10in and just leave it alone. We're central processing units. We're
- 19:14here to take in what we take in and then to use it, think about
- 19:18it, act on it. I think self improvement needs one little
- 19:22tweak, no matter who you are. Tony Robbins, Oprah Winfrey, Deepak
- 19:25Chopra, Wayne Dyer, doesn't matter. Any of these big shots,
- 19:29they need to have a little disclaimer at the beginning of their recording, of
- 19:33their course of their whatever it is that they're offering.
- 19:37It needs to say, I can only be an expert in
- 19:40me. I had different parents than you. I wear
- 19:44different clothes than you. I drive a different car than you. I live in a
- 19:47different town than you do. I live in a different One. Blah blah blah. Millions
- 19:50of differences. I can only be an expert in me. And that goes for the
- 19:53rich, popular, superpowered self helpers too. They can only
- 19:57be experts in themselves, not you. That's why I say
- 20:01so many so often The that's why some of these programs and stuff don't work
- 20:05because they wanna make one size fits all. And, you know,
- 20:08my my my thing is that when I was, you know, when
- 20:12before they had a lot of large sizes, you know, you would
- 20:16they they started getting into the big big girl industry, and so
- 20:20they started putting The a tag on it that says One size fits most.
- 20:24One 5 The first, they said One size fits Small. And then when they found
- 20:28that that wasn't true, it they said one size fits most. But the thing is
- 20:31we all are made up from a total you know, totally different
- 20:35recipes. We've got basic ingredients, but we, you know, we came out
- 20:38differently. And so you can't fit into somebody else's
- 20:43square. I was gonna say somebody else's hole, but that sounded weird.
- 20:50So I told you you had a good sense of humor. I
- 20:54gotta watch the mouse sometimes. Anyway, so so let me do this before
- 20:57we run out of time. Sure. Tell me tell me, I know that
- 21:01you brought a gift for us, where we can
- 21:04experience, you know, what you do. So tell me a little bit about that.
- 21:09Well, that's just a shorter recording that people
- 21:13will, you know, basically put on a pair of ordinary headphones, lie down, or sit
- 21:17back with head support, close your eyes, hit play. That's it. You
- 21:20don't have to do anything else. If you fall asleep, no big deal. You may
- 21:24wanna set an alarm for a few minutes afterwards just in case you do
- 21:27fall asleep and you wanna do something afterwards. But you
- 21:31see, with my work, I don't tell you what to do. I'm not brilliant. I'm
- 21:35not a genius. I don't have the secret recipe for you.
- 21:38You do. And my work helps you access that. That's all it
- 21:42does. So it's a matter of optimizing your brain, and then your
- 21:46brain does what it needs. It's really that simple. Don't expect it to
- 21:49be a pill. It's not a pill. It's not necessarily gonna change your life one
- 21:53time. But if you listen regularly and consistently over time, I'd be
- 21:57very surprised if you didn't notice changes. So
- 22:03I'm gonna ask you my question that I like to ask people because I thought
- 22:07it was an amazing question. And that was,
- 22:11when was the last time you did something new for the first time?
- 22:18I would say this morning, maybe a couple
- 22:21hours ago. I'm working on 50 new technologies
- 22:26as we're speaking. 55, actually. So every single day,
- 22:30I'm working on new things I've never done before. So let me
- 22:33ask you this then. When was the the last time you did something
- 22:37new for the first time that did not have to do with your business and
- 22:40your neck technology, more in your personal life?
- 22:46No idea. Couldn't answer that question, honestly.
- 22:51Everything I do is with respect to my business, my life, my
- 22:55getting better. So, you know,
- 22:58even my wife Okay. I guess I
- 23:02got married 13 One a half, 14 years ago. That
- 23:06would've been the thing I've never One. Because that was the first
- 23:10time I got married also. Okay. So have you got kids?
- 23:14Oh, no way. I was way too depressed
- 23:18when I was that age, and and the one good decision I made
- 23:22was I don't feel comfortable bringing a kid up having
- 23:25to deal with me. And, frankly, until my
- 23:29wife, I never met a woman I wanted to be with longer than a weekend.
- 23:33Well, I have to tell you that we share that in common in that I
- 23:36said to my husband, I think he's the only man I coulda married, and he's
- 23:40also the only man that I coulda had kids with because I I felt the
- 23:43same way. I did not want to, I wasn't really pleased with my
- 23:47childhood and did not wanna give that to anybody else. And I see that's
- 23:50very responsible of you. Yeah. And and it it my kids are
- 23:54all adults now, and it wasn't till, like, maybe last year that I told them
- 23:57I never wanted to have kids. And they're like, oh my
- 24:01god. Don't you know? So we have had a
- 24:05wonderful time. I have one more question for you
- 24:08before we before we leave. And that is,
- 24:12would you say that it's a good it would be a good practice
- 24:16besides using your your your your recordings and working with
- 24:20you, would it be a good practice to notice
- 24:23what sounds give us what kinds of feelings
- 24:28so that we can do more of them in our life? I
- 24:32would say that's almost a great thing to suggest. I would say
- 24:35don't limit it to sound. Okay. Keep an eye open
- 24:39in your entire life as to the things that make you feel
- 24:43good, the things that make you feel nervous, the things that make you feel afraid,
- 24:47The all these things. Because they'll all teach you things about yourself.
- 24:51And they'll also let you know what you should avoid and what you should be
- 24:54going after. You know, we are all built in with sensors. We have
- 24:58the ultimate sensor array between our mind, our our heart,
- 25:01and our gut. And everybody is so
- 25:05you know, everybody looks elsewhere outside.
- 25:09Where is it? Where is it? Is it here? Is it here? Is it here?
- 25:12No. It's in here. It's in here. That's where the
- 25:16answer lies. So I encourage people to pay attention to
- 25:19themselves One especially when they feel something strongly,
- 25:23negatively, or positively. Those things are the most important things
- 25:26to understand about yourself, I believe, currently. Keep in
- 25:30mind, I don't believe in truth or, you
- 25:34know, fact. But currently, my understanding would
- 25:37say pay attention to everything. Learn about
- 25:41you and your surroundings and how you interact in The. And I think that
- 25:45will help you to help yourself to be much more satisfied in your life
- 25:48and career. Well, I think for me, like,
- 25:52visually, visual is my predominant learning
- 25:56style One audio is not. And so for
- 25:59me, I have to really make an effort,
- 26:03to notice the, you know, the audio. You know, my husband is very
- 26:07in tune. He'll say, do you hear that? Do you hear the under I'm like,
- 26:10no. I hear nothing. You know? But there are
- 26:14certain songs and certain, like, there are certain songs that as soon as
- 26:18I hear them, I wanna dance, you know? And there are
- 26:21certain sounds, like I said, the
- 26:25laughter of a child. And so I think that that that, you
- 26:29know, when we become more aware of that, when I talk
- 26:32about when I talk about people thinking
- 26:36about a time in their life when they felt really good,
- 26:40you know, to come up with 3 words. And those words should give you what
- 26:43I call the wiggle giggle factor. It should make you feel like, yeah, I
- 26:47wanna feel like that. And I think when you have that connection between your
- 26:51brain and your body, you know, that's a that's
- 26:55a really strong signal that something's going on. You see, you're
- 26:58right because the thing is we all have that. I mean,
- 27:02again, my current understanding says that we all have that connection between the brain and
- 27:05the body. You can't go without it. It's it's kind of like living in the
- 27:09now. I love when people say you have to learn how to live in the
- 27:12now. I that makes me laugh
- 27:15because there is no other place where you can live except in
- 27:19the now. And it to me, it's the silliest statement in the world. You
- 27:23have to learn how to live in the now. Everybody talks like they're a big
- 27:26expert. Oh, you have to learn to live in the now, and I really hope
- 27:28you don't tell your people that. But because then I really embarrassed myself
- 27:32in the now. No. No. One but think about it. Bad is Can can you
- 27:36eat and breathe in the past? Well, when you said that, that was my
- 27:39first reaction is where else could you But that's the thing. But everybody
- 27:43goes, now, now, now. Look. You can't eat or drink in the past. You can't
- 27:47eat or drink in the future. You can only eat and drink now. You can
- 27:50only breathe now. That tells you there is only
- 27:54now. Most people, I believe, have a problem because they're
- 27:58they're too busy worrying about the future or making all the mistakes they made in
- 28:02the past. They're not dealing with now. If you want the now
- 28:05tomorrow One it gets here to be better, take care of the
- 28:09now that's right here right now. Care of the now now. And that's what we
- 28:12have to do now. Unfortunately, we have to end this interview
- 28:17Now. Now. And so, you know,
- 28:20I gotta put the ad in. For The first step, you need to subscribe
- 28:24and tell other people about this. And, you know, I
- 28:28did this podcast because I know that there are lots of people out there that
- 28:32have incredible ideas that they wanna share with you. And
- 28:36what I wanna say to you is Change is simple, but it's not
- 28:39always easy. And one of the ways that you know that you're making a great
- 28:43change is that you're feeling uncomfortable because you're probably doing
- 28:46something you've never done before. And so you should take that
- 28:50as as a good sign. My my mantra is
- 28:54I've never felt this miserable before, so I must be making a great
- 28:57change. But, hopefully, you won't have to get miserable to do that,
- 29:01and I am so glad that you've let me be part of
- 29:05your journey and share some of the wonderful people that I've met.
- 29:08And I hope you will listen not only to this podcast, but to other
- 29:12podcasts that have come before and after. Maury, do you
- 29:16have any last words that you wanna tell people to
- 29:19remember? Just remember that happiness is a
- 29:23choice. And if you make the choice to be happy, you will
- 29:27see things that will help you to be happy.
- 29:30Amazing. Amazing. And so
- 29:34the now has passed to the new now, and we will see
- 29:38you in the next now.
- 29:42Beautifully put. This has been fantastic. Thank you
- 29:45so very much.
