Welcome to the Revolution of Purpose podcast. I'm your host,
0:03
John Streit, and each week we bring you conversations with thought leaders,
0:07
entrepreneurs, and individuals who have aligned their life
0:11
with purpose and created extraordinary results. So I'm going to live through it
0:15
and accept it radically with grace and hope and love.
0:18
I mean, I would be proud to be in this council. It was an honor.
0:21
I had so much fun. Tune in every Monday for the Revolution of Purpose solo
0:25
show and every Thursday for Revolution of Purpose Conversations.
0:30
Welcome back to the Revolution of Purpose podcast.
0:34
This is John Street, your host, and I am so excited to have our
0:38
part 2 episode with Jason Solomon. If you have
0:41
not seen part 1, go on and look at our,
0:45
look at our list of episodes and watch part 1 if you're on YouTube,
0:48
or go listen to it on Apple, Spotify, or Amazon, wherever you're listening
0:52
to your podcasts, because you will not want to miss the amazing,
0:56
uh, the amazing things that Jason, uh, dropped on us. I mean,
0:59
he is Such a wealth of knowledge. And Jason, it's great to be back
1:03
with you, sir. Same, man. Appreciate it. I look forward to
1:06
doing this again, John. Me too. I love that part 2,
1:10
you're inside where there's air conditioning.
1:14
I thought, oh my gosh, you were burning up in the first
1:18
one. And I'm so glad we're filming this in July.
1:22
For those who may not know, or who may be watching this later,
1:24
it's July 2026. And this like the US is going
1:28
through this crazy heat wave, this heat dome. So yeah,
1:32
I'm glad you're inside with some air conditioner, man. And you
1:36
know, if you watch this on YouTube instead of just listening to
1:40
the podcast, you get to see my dog in the background from time to time.
1:42
He is back there just chilling.
1:45
He's my mascot. He's really the host of the podcast.
1:49
He just lets me take the mic from time to time. But so
1:54
Jason, we'll dive in, man. One of the things that really stood out to me
1:57
in part 1 when we talked is that you've never seemed
2:02
interested in fitting in. Like,
2:06
authenticity usually comes with a price, and you seem
2:10
willing to have paid that price. So what
2:13
has becoming yourself cost you over the years?
2:18
Wow, that's a good question, man. What has becoming myself cost me?
2:23
It costs a lot. It's a
2:27
hefty price. I think, um,
2:30
um, I remember listening to an audio from, from Bob. This is one
2:34
of his seminars he did 2015. He said
2:38
there's 2 things that take place when you decide to grow.
2:41
There's one force called attraction and the other force called
2:45
retraction. And he said when you decide to grow,
2:48
you automatically attract a new environment and you automatically
2:51
retract from the old environment. And so,
2:55
and it's not, it's not even something intentional. It's not like
2:58
you sit there and say, I'm not going to talk to these people, associate with
3:02
these people, be around these people. But when you start to think on a new
3:05
frequency, everything on that comes to you and everything off of that leaves you.
3:09
So when I changed my mentality, man, that's what happened.
3:13
Um, a lot of friendships, a lot of relationships that I had in the past,
3:17
you know, they may still be around, but they no longer exist
3:21
in terms of proximity. Um, because again, when you decide to,
3:25
to grow, if that person doesn't grow with you, then you
3:28
automatically grow apart. So it cost me a lot, man. It cost me,
3:32
I would say, a lot of— um, because I started this journey at 18 years
3:36
old, but even before 18 years old, I was always
3:40
on some path, right? And I never followed the, the route
3:44
that most people did. So 14, 15, 16 years
3:48
old I wasn't doing what my friends were doing. I didn't have the,
3:51
the luxury of having the proms,
3:54
the, um, homecomings, you know,
3:58
all the many girlfriends that they had, right? Because my girlfriend was basketball
4:01
and selling candy, all right? I was just so focused on that. I didn't have
4:05
the luxury of having the parties and all that stuff. But John,
4:09
I remember as a kid— I don't know if I shared this on the podcast—
4:12
there was a situation where Me and a buddy
4:16
of mine, he actually used to play in the NFL. He just retired from the
4:19
NFL. Um, his name was Chris Evans. He was a running back for,
4:23
for the Cincinnati Bengals. And me and Chris would have— I
4:27
still have it actually— we have the janitor's key. All right, you got to have
4:30
a specific key to get into the gym. And we— I
4:34
don't know how we got it. I think I found mine on the floor,
4:36
right? When you're in the gym long enough, you find stuff laying around. I found
4:40
one of the keys on the floor. And it was a key to make the
4:43
basketball rims go up and go down. We knew how to break into the gym.
4:46
We knew which door they left unlocked purposely, right? And I remember
4:50
we were in the 9th grade center. We were in the hallway doing dribbling drills.
4:53
We were just practicing. And I remember thinking,
4:57
because we used to say certain things to keep us inspired, because again,
5:01
as a kid, when you're focused, you miss out on a lot of things
5:04
that you consider to be fun. But I think a lot of people make the
5:08
mistake of fun versus happiness, right? When you see someone having fun,
5:11
you're like, oh man, they're having fun, they're having fun. And we mistake that for
5:14
fulfillment or for happiness. And we will see our friends,
5:18
you know, at time— at the time Snapchat was big, right?
5:21
We would see our friends on Snapchat partying, hanging out,
5:25
doing fun things, playing video games, and we missed a lot of that.
5:29
And so one thing I used to always say to myself as a kid to
5:33
keep me inspired is it's going to be way more fun to party on the
5:36
jet than party in the basement. It's gonna be way more fun to party on
5:40
a jet than party in the basement. It's gonna be way more fun to party
5:43
on a jet than party in the basement. It's gonna be way more fun.
5:45
And that was our sense of, you know, okay, let's, let's lock in and focus
5:49
so that we can— if we're going to party, we're going to do it big
5:52
time, right? So brilliant. I missed out.
5:55
Yeah, that was our affirmation before I even knew what affirmation was,
5:58
because again When you're, when you're, um, building something,
6:03
um, it is not a sexy process, man.
6:06
Like, no one, no one goes to a construction site and
6:10
says, wow, look at this dirt. No one's like, oh my God, look at those
6:14
nails. Wow, look at that, um, 2x4.
6:17
So incredible. No one goes— when you're in the construction phase,
6:21
it's dirty, it's dusty, it's muddy. It's, you know,
6:24
it's not, it's not the place where you want to be. After you leave,
6:27
you got to shower, you got to rinse the the dust out of your nails,
6:31
right? And when you're in that construction phase,
6:34
it almost seems like it's never going to end.
6:37
So that's a very tough place to be,
6:40
you know. And even certain phases of now in my life, I still feel I'm
6:44
in that phase with what I'm creating now, because I think anytime you create something
6:48
new, you go through construction. So even with my retreats
6:51
and the experiences that I'm putting together, I'm still in the construction phase,
6:55
even though I've done events for years. Of course, I understand like the basics,
6:58
But I'm attempting to do things that I don't know anyone that's
7:02
done. I'm sure there's people that have done it, but the way that I want
7:05
to do it, I don't know really anybody that I could call that's doing
7:09
this, right? So it's a lot of dust. It's a lot
7:13
of debris. And you got to have a
7:17
reminder of the vision. And I just remember Earl Nightingale said,
7:20
it's not so much important that you— it's not that people forget their goals.
7:24
They just forget to remind themselves of their goals. So,
7:28
you know, I missed out on a lot, man. I missed out on a lot
7:30
of things that would be considered fun. I missed out on a lot of relationships,
7:33
a lot of parties, a lot of youth experiences.
7:36
Um, I didn't have that in a sense of even wanting those things,
7:41
which I think saved me in a sense, because a lot
7:45
of my friends that were in a close proximity, you know, some of them are
7:48
doing okay, but most of them may not be on the, on the, let's say,
7:51
the bright side of the law. All right, the right side of the law.
7:55
Um, And I could have ended up just like them.
7:58
I could have ended up in Marion County, you know,
8:01
jail down the street too, right? I could have ended up in situations
8:05
where I'm just in, in, in a low-frequency life
8:09
as well. And I'm not saying this everybody, but a lot of people, you know,
8:12
ended up in that, in that route, um, because they didn't have something
8:17
they were grasping onto. And I was more afraid to,
8:20
to lose what I had right, than to risk it
8:24
in terms of my vision. So I missed out on a lot, man. Even when
8:27
I turned 18 years old, getting into personal growth, um,
8:30
again, I missed out on what we consider to be fun, right?
8:34
But that also put me in even then, man.
8:37
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, man. Um, I think
8:41
that that drive is something that comes with, with, um,
8:45
curiosity. I've always been curious. Like, I'm the kid
8:49
where I remember I was maybe 14 years old. I would get on Google Maps
8:53
and Street View of Paris, you know, Street View of this. I'm just curious.
8:57
I want to see. I want to see what's out there, right? Um, and I
9:00
think that's what comes— that's what, what happens with drive when you're a very curious
9:04
person. It drives you, right? So yeah, missed out on a lot,
9:08
but also gained a lot of experiences that, you know,
9:11
are— some people can't even get anymore, you know, with the people that we've been
9:15
around. Like, right before we got on, we were talking about Um, the fact that
9:18
you're now connected with, you know, one of my mentors, Miss Linda Proctor, who changed
9:23
my freaking life, man. Her and Bob, um, you know,
9:26
I got the experience to be around them, around him when he was alive,
9:30
right? So I ditched the parties and now I'm in a seminar. So yeah,
9:34
at the time it doesn't sound attractive, right? Sitting in a seminar
9:39
in a suit, you know, taking notes. But dude, I wouldn't change it because
9:43
A thing I learned from Bob was you want to gather certain experiences
9:48
because it helps you sell what you're doing better, right?
9:51
Stories sell. And I have so many stories. And, and the reason
9:56
why it sells is because you can relate to people. I have so many different
9:59
experiences, so many different people I've spoken to, so many different cultures I've been around,
10:02
so many different, um, crazy things I've done where
10:07
it gives— I'm in a position where I can relate to so many different people.
10:10
I'm in a position where I gather so many stories,
10:14
um, and the man or woman that owns the stories rules the world because you
10:17
can relate to people. So, you know, pros and cons, law of polarity, right?
10:20
There's opposites to everything. But for me, you know,
10:24
I wouldn't say I missed out on anything. I think at the
10:28
time I thought I did, but again, the life I'm able to live today,
10:32
just— and not even since from what I have, but my
10:36
ability to think Right, my ability to think,
10:39
plan. If I want something, I can plan a way to figure
10:44
out how to get it. That's incredible. That's incredible to me. So yeah, well,
10:47
and the taller the building, the longer it takes to lay
10:51
the foundation. And so God,
10:54
your higher power, the universe, source, whatever you call God,
11:00
already had you in your teens building a foundation
11:04
because that's how tall your building was going to be. There was no time
11:07
for you to put it off to your 20s to your 30s. Like,
11:11
it had to start then. And so there may have been some things
11:14
that you didn't do that other people were doing, but that's because their building isn't
11:18
the same as yours. And you're getting all of these experiences
11:22
and all of this time. Like, how amazing is that at 18 years old
11:26
to, to get into personal development work and start getting to mentor
11:30
with Bob and Linda Proctor, of all people? Like, that is clearly
11:35
looking backwards. You can connect the dots and see how God's hand was
11:38
in that, all up in there. Yeah. Yeah, you know what's interesting,
11:41
man? I— before we move on, I had a chat with a group of
11:46
ladies from the UK yesterday, and I told her that— I
11:49
told them the same thing. I said, the taller the building,
11:53
the deeper and more complicated the foundation has to be.
11:57
And, you know, I remember this was in 2017,
12:01
2017, 2018. We, we had an
12:04
event. Linda had an event where Bob spoke at. We were at the Westin Prince
12:07
downtown Toronto. And I remember him saying this.
12:12
He said, here in Toronto, in every major city, you'll see a lot
12:16
of construction. And he said, you'll be driving past the construction site
12:20
for months on end, right? And you hear the cranes, you hear the
12:24
trucks, doo doo doo doo doo. You hear them hitting the, you know,
12:27
digging the concrete, laying the foundation. And he
12:32
said, for months you'll see that, you'll see that, see that. And then all of
12:34
a sudden One day you wake up in the morning, you shave, you get in
12:37
your car, you drive by, and then boom, a big building has popped
12:41
up. And you're like, wait, how did they put that together so fast, right?
12:45
And what people don't understand is that the
12:49
reason why the building seems to grow faster is because it took longer to
12:53
build the foundation. The foundation is the most complicated, um,
12:56
strenuous part that you have to build, and it is not the
13:00
part that no one wants to build. It is because you don't see any fruits
13:05
of your labor. Yeah, you don't see any of the results that you
13:08
want. You may see a little trickle, but you don't see any of the results
13:12
you want to see. But when it comes time to perform, you're very well equipped,
13:16
you know, you're very well polished. Like, even me hopping on this podcast,
13:20
man, it's like I just literally got my son to go
13:24
to sleep, ran in here. I didn't need any preparation because
13:27
I've done many calls, many conversations, you know. This is
13:31
just in my subconscious now. Through the amount of repetition that I've had of building
13:35
the foundation, I could sit on here for 5 hours and do a podcast
13:39
or hop on a call with 2,000 people and speak
13:42
to them like it's one person without any preparation because the foundation is
13:46
laid. So, again, now it's just a matter of exposure,
13:50
you know, and sharing what's already there. So, yeah.
13:54
Yeah, that's huge. And, you know, the foundation building, that's not the
13:58
sexy part. That's not the part that people can see.
14:01
Like, The only people that can see the vision when you're
14:06
building a foundation is the architect. It is the builder.
14:09
You know, it's— you're not going to get everybody around you saying, hey,
14:12
look how amazing everything looks, when you're building the foundation because
14:17
they don't see it yet. But you see it and you can't lose hold of
14:20
that vision. You know, it's so important. And let me ask you, because you
14:24
said something earlier that I think is really important too, Jason, like not
14:28
everybody from your circle ended up in
14:32
the successful life similar to what you're doing. Not that all of
14:36
them ended up in jail, but not everyone's in that successful life.
14:40
And I truly believe that part of
14:44
the reason that we have our purpose, part of the reason we have our life,
14:46
is to change our community. So what would you say to someone,
14:50
whether there's somebody who knew you back in the day or if it's just someone
14:54
who's watching this podcast and they feel stuck, they didn't
14:58
start early, they are maybe in their 40s or 50s, and,
15:01
and they haven't done the work. What would you say to them to
15:04
encourage them that in this moment, they could change their life?
15:08
Yeah, a quote I heard, if God took away time, how old would you be?
15:12
Time is, time is man-made. I used to have the man
15:16
by 30, you know, mentality, right? Like,
15:20
oh, if I'm not here by 30, or if I'm not there, Um,
15:24
I think what— if any idea I can
15:27
give to someone is study, study,
15:30
study people. Like, study individuals
15:34
that actually made it happen as men.
15:39
There's this science— most men don't hit, um,
15:43
let's say their prime until the age of 45
15:46
to 50. This is real. Most men do not hit
15:50
their, their maturity prime and also
15:54
their business prime until 45 to 50.
15:57
But society has deemed us that if you're not a millionaire by 25,
16:01
bro, you're losing. It's not— definitely
16:05
not true. Um, the first thing I would say is get off
16:09
Instagram, right? But if you—
16:13
I mean You know, I had somebody ask me a question the other
16:16
day. Um, it was 2 people that asked me this question. They say, hey Jason,
16:19
I'm just curious. They say, you don't follow
16:23
me on Instagram, right? And there's somebody I was mentoring one-on-one. They said, you don't
16:26
follow me. Like, I'm not mad, but why don't you follow
16:31
people back anymore? I said, that's a great question. I'll give
16:35
you a real honest reason. I said, because I stopped following people.
16:39
And I started to follow brands. I said,
16:42
if I follow people, all the only thing that's going to pull up on my
16:45
algorithm is other people. And a lot of times,
16:49
so social media— not a lot of times— is a highlight reel.
16:52
It shows your best day. It's your best shoes, your best hat,
16:56
your best smile on your best filter. That's all right.
17:00
So why would I put myself at a disadvantage
17:04
by constantly looking at other people right, that deemed to
17:09
be successful where they only show the, the result,
17:13
right? And that's not even the result of success. We have success all the
17:17
way messed up. Like a Lambo, uh, a villa,
17:20
it's not the result of success. Like, I view success as how
17:25
many lives you're impacting. Like, I heard a guy say,
17:28
say that, um, success is, is measured
17:33
by how many people mention you in their success story,
17:37
right? Success is measured by how many people mention you in
17:41
their success story. You're not going to find an audio where I don't mention Bob
17:45
Belinda, right? So for me,
17:48
that's my focus now is like, okay, how many people are actually going to
17:52
say, oh, you know, oh, by the way, you know, when they're on stage,
17:55
by the way, there's this crazy kid named Jason, you know, who kind of shared
17:59
a little something with me, or I heard this quote from him. That's kind of
18:02
where I'm at now, you know. And I realized there's polarity to
18:05
everything. You talk about the foundation. Well, we don't
18:10
get everything that we want right now. There's a quote that says you can have
18:12
everything you want, but you just can't have it at once. So a lot of
18:15
things are on their way. So for anyone that's in that, that's looking
18:18
to start now, whether you're 20, 30, 40 years old,
18:22
50 years old, it doesn't even matter. I would say number one,
18:25
quit comparing the wrong way. They say comparison
18:29
is the thief of all joy. Sure, but I think the wrong comparison
18:32
is— I think if you compare yourself the right way, it can be very inspirational.
18:37
Meaning, um, you know, I look at certain
18:41
people like, um, uh, I don't know, Bob's just
18:46
one of the examples I can use. If you watch his story,
18:50
I think in the audio Linda shared this— well, Linda and his assistant
18:54
Gina shared her story Um, when Bob
18:58
had to come back to Toronto from Chicago to watch his kids,
19:02
I think he was maybe 48 to 53, that age range.
19:08
And Gina was his assistant, and, um, he had
19:12
like a little brick and mortar, you know, on a strip mall, I think
19:16
some like little brick and mortar office.
19:18
And Gina ran into the office to get him. She said,
19:22
Bob, come here, you got to see something. And he had people,
19:25
he had his team in there, his clients in there, and Gina
19:30
showed him outside the window that they were repossessing his car
19:35
at 50 years old. Bob freaking Proctor. When you
19:39
get your car repossessed, that means you haven't paid the car note. And when
19:42
you haven't paid the car note, it's probably because you can't pay the car note,
19:45
right? Not because you don't want to. No one just says, I don't want to
19:49
pay it. No, it's like probably because you can't afford it. So imagine
19:54
that statue, right? And you
19:58
know, I know nobody wants to wait that long. I'm not saying wait that long
20:01
to get your life in order, but there's just certain things that take
20:05
place in your story that happen, right? It's situations,
20:09
it's life. But what if he would have let that stop him at 50?
20:12
He would have never got The Secret at 70, right?
20:15
Hey, I would have never met him. I met him at 80, right? So there's
20:19
just some things that happen in life that just a part of your story,
20:23
man. And it'd be a boring story if there weren't valleys to the mountains.
20:27
So I think anybody that's watching this, get off of social media,
20:31
um, start to study people's stories that have been through something similar to
20:35
you're going through. Maybe start to— maybe don't study any 25-year-old millionaires.
20:40
Maybe you should only focus on people that, like Myron Golden, who made
20:43
his first million at 40 years old, or 45 years old, right? Maybe study
20:48
those people if they can relate a little bit better to your story.
20:51
So, it gives you hope, right? More than
20:55
like, wow, I'm behind. That is so important. I just shared yesterday,
21:00
it was a joke that somebody shared. They're like, I'm 13 years old, I'm already
21:04
a millionaire, and blah, blah, blah. But there is this whole culture
21:08
that if you're not a millionaire by 25, if you're not ripped
21:12
and shirtless and in the Lambo by 25, that you failed.
21:16
And I know, I'm telling you, man. And I
21:20
mean, and I think it's great to be healthy. And, you know, part of my
21:22
story is I've lost over 100 pounds, but I'm still not where I want to
21:26
be every day with health or whatever. But in all things,
21:29
we continue to grow, and we're not all the same people.
21:32
We didn't all start from the same place either.
21:35
Like You know, there are people who deal with addictions in life
21:40
and they've lost 20 years to addiction. And just getting out of
21:43
addiction was a huge thing. But now, they're starting from the same place we were
21:47
at 20 years old and now, they're 40. You know? So, I mean,
21:51
like you said, comparison is the thief of joy unless if you're comparing
21:55
the wrong way. I love that you could almost say comparison
21:58
is the thief of joy, but inspiration is,
22:03
is like a joy giver or something. If you look at someone and you get
22:07
inspired, that's one thing, but we can't compare our journeys to them.
22:11
I do remember, I think that that story you told about Gina
22:15
is in the movie Bob Proctor— yeah, Legacy— because
22:19
I remember him saying— she said that he said, I never liked that car anyway.
22:23
Yeah, he said, that's interesting, right?
22:26
That was his response to anything challenging. He was like, that's interesting.
22:30
He never let it get to him. I love that. Have you ever in
22:33
your life gone through periods that were really
22:38
difficult? Have you gone through periods, whether it was financially or
22:41
something else? And I know in mindset work, we talk about the positive
22:45
and we talk about, but I do think it's so important to acknowledge that even
22:50
Bob Proctor had a car repossessed. Even Jason
22:54
Solomon had a rough time. John Streit went through a rough time. Like, it's important
22:57
for people who watch these things to know that we're all human. And that
23:01
we grow sometimes through these really tough times. So yeah, did you ever have
23:06
a period that was really tough for you and what did you learn from it?
23:09
Dude, my whole life. I don't think it goes away.
23:14
Like Jim Rohn said, what was his famous quote?
23:18
Is that, don't wish it was easier, wish you were better.
23:22
I don't think it goes away, man. I don't think the tough times leave you.
23:25
I think you just learn how to deal with them better. You know,
23:28
and you learn how to overcome them better. I've had a tough time my whole
23:32
journey, man. Um, financially was challenging all
23:37
the time. Like, now I'm in a position where earning money is so
23:40
easy for me, but the challenge is the
23:44
keeping it, right? Because what I'm starting to learn is the
23:48
more money you make, the more people want it.
23:51
And then it's like, I used to have I told
23:55
someone the other day, I said, I used to have $100 problems. Now I got
23:57
$1,000 problems. Now every problem used to be $100. Now every problem's
24:01
$1,000. And I was thinking this the other day. I'm like, what the—
24:06
why? Why is every bill $1,000? Why is every time someone
24:10
texts me, it's $500 or $1,000? Or this situation,
24:14
it's $7,000 or $8,000 to $10,000. I'm like, why? And then I stopped. I said,
24:18
Jason, chill out. These problems you have today, You would
24:23
have killed to have these problems when you were 18 years old,
24:28
when $200 was a great week.
24:32
I remember when I first started my direct sales business, my first year I made
24:35
$6,000— or no, my first year I made $3,000.
24:38
Second year I made $6,000. Third year I made $30,000.
24:43
Fourth year made $70,000, I think. I don't know. And then probably up and down
24:47
from there. But most people are like, wow, in 4 years,
24:51
you know, you were 21 years old, 22 years old. But dude,
24:55
those first 3 years, oh my God. Right.
24:59
And financially disclaimer, since this is being recorded, I'll pull up the
25:03
taxes if you want to see them. But it was embarrassing. I remember I went
25:07
to my tax guy when I went from the year from $6,000 to $30,000.
25:11
He said, oh my God, man, you made a huge jump.
25:13
Right.
25:16
Because that was a pretty good jump. Right?
25:20
From $6,000 to $30,000, it was a pretty good jump. But what I
25:24
did not understand, I used to beat myself up because of that,
25:27
right? And, but I did not understand that's how most, most businesses,
25:32
first off, most businesses start with debt. They start with
25:35
a loan. They start in the, in the negative, right? And to make
25:39
profit from a business, even if it's
25:43
$3,000, if someone takes out a $200,000
25:47
loan, they seldomly make $200 grand that year to pay it back.
25:52
They may make $70 grand, $30 grand,
25:56
$50 grand, $100 grand, and they're in the hole for
26:00
3 or 4 or 5 years before they can ever even pay back
26:03
a loan. And so me going through my challenges the first 4 years
26:07
of earning the money, I thought I was the only one.
26:12
Not until I realized that Jay, he's not the only one.
26:15
You're just, you're just new. And I don't think we give ourselves
26:19
enough grace for being new and bad at something. Like,
26:22
there's nothing wrong with being bad at something that you're doing for the first time,
26:27
right? There's nothing wrong with, with that. The problem is staying bad,
26:31
right? And even when I was progressing,
26:35
I still thought I was behind because of my environment.
26:38

28:39

28:44
episode. So, Jason, you have built businesses,
28:48
you've traveled the world, you have impacted thousands of people.
28:52
And I know you still have a long way to go. I know that you're
28:55
nowhere near your goal card, you know, but you are impacting a lot of people.
28:59
And I'm thankful for that. I'm one of the people that you impact.
29:02
But has success felt the way that you imagined that it would?
29:06
That's a fast no. Absolutely not.
29:10
Um, no, man, at all.
29:14
And I wouldn't even say— well, I would say if we're going off the definition
29:19
of success that I live by, then I would say that I'm
29:23
on a track of success for sure. My definition—
29:27
I have 2 definitions of success. Number 1, the progress.
29:31
Progressive realization of something that's worthy of
29:35
you, right? The worthy ideal. The Earl Nightingale quote.
29:38
I will say, because I'm always progressing to— I
29:43
think this is very worthy because I'm always progressing to this— I'm
29:47
successful. And then I heard a quote that says, you don't measure your success by
29:51
how much money you make, you measure success by how many lives you touch.
29:54
In those 2 regards, I truly feel that I am on
29:58
it, on the right track of success. Um,
30:01
I, I think— nah, man, success doesn't
30:06
feel that way. Because again, for me, I thought when you start making
30:09
more money, confetti pops off,
30:13
fireworks explode.
30:16
But my, my perception changed
30:21
Because again, I think when you start to build more, you create—
30:25
actually, you create more problems. Most people don't
30:29
talk about that. When you start to grow, you actually
30:33
start to manifest more problems, more challenges, more obstacles,
30:38
right? Because your mind starts to expand, so the things
30:42
that you want to do are much bigger and they come at a greater cost.
30:46
So I find I'm always creating problems for myself, which I think
30:50
is, you know, it's good. I'm entrepreneur and that's problem solving. Do I always
30:54
enjoy the problems I create for myself? Absolutely not. Like, John, I'll give
30:58
you an example of a problem. Uh, I just got an idea 2
31:01
days ago. Intuition said I want to have a retreat in Bali in
31:05
Indonesia, and I want to call it the SM
31:09
Creators Mastermind, where we have a beautiful villa 15
31:14
entrepreneurs and creators come together for 6 days, 6 to 7 days,
31:18
do it in Indonesia, Bali. Like, yeah,
31:21
let's freaking do that, right? And then I start to look up stuff.
31:25
I'm like, ooh, I got to get a permit, Balinese permit.
31:28
That flight is 25 hours long. Okay.
31:32
And I'm like, Jesus. Okay.
31:35
You know, and I'm running a business, so I got to think how the profit
31:37
margin is going to work. How much is this? How much is this? Like,
31:40
I gotta fly this out, do this out. I gotta find merchandise. How am I
31:43
gonna fit this on the plane? And even worse, because you can't run to McDonald's
31:47
at Bali. You can't run to McDonald's. You got to go to the local shops.
31:51
Now don't get me wrong, I always plan retreats in areas that are tourist
31:54
friendly, so there's not really big challenges when it comes to me
31:59
going to like a third world country. But I'm like, why am I even thinking
32:03
like Bali? What?
32:07
That is a way bigger problem than Miami. It's like, why can't you just do
32:10
Miami? Miami, right? That's what I'm thinking.
32:14
And I'm like, why can't you just freaking go to Miami?
32:17
And so it's like just problems, man, and I'm just manufacturing
32:21
more problems. But again, I think that, um,
32:25
if you just want to do something that's never been done, man, you have to
32:28
do something that you've never done. You have to go places that people
32:32
rarely have trekked. I don't know anyone that says, yeah, bro, I just got back
32:36
from Bali, right? I mean, I know some people now,
32:39
but growing up, nah, man, I never— I don't see
32:43
those people, right? Those people aren't people you just run into every day.
32:46
So I'm always creating problems for myself.
32:51
Um, I would not say that's a wise business move. I would not say it,
32:55
but I will say it makes for a hell of a life because
33:00
I'm always thinking, creating, you know, generating ideas.
33:04
But again, I don't know, John, my life
33:08
is just so many different ups and downs that I have to
33:12
penetrate through. I was telling Haley the other day, my spouse, and I was like,
33:17
listen, my position is very unique because I
33:20
ended up becoming the one for everyone. I said,
33:24
I'm the person that people contact with everything,
33:29
right? I'm— I said, when you become— when you decide to become
33:32
a leader and a mentor, I said, you also opt
33:37
in to become 2 extra things. You become a trash can and you become
33:41
a firefighter, because people dump all their
33:44
trash on you, and every day you got to put out people's fires.
33:48
Now there's the flip side of it, which is the influence,
33:51
the fame that you can say that comes with it, the recognition.
33:55
The sense of power that you have from being an influential person.
33:59
But that's the law of polarity. So when you sign up for this game of
34:03
leadership, don't just say, oh, don't just see the person in front of the room
34:07
and just admire that. You need to understand that that
34:11
person that's in front of the room is the person— I shared this with someone
34:15
in group the other day. I said, if you ever want to get on stage,
34:16
I'm going to teach you how to get on stage. The person on stage,
34:19
it's the person that chose to do what everyone else could have done, but what
34:22
everyone else chose not to do. Because in order
34:27
to get on that stage, you got to go through a bunch of trash.
34:29
You got to put out a lot of fires. A bunch
34:33
of trash and a lot of fires. And every day, John, I'm putting out
34:37
fires and I'm, and I'm getting trash poured right
34:41
on me. And it's just about being able to continuously maneuver through all those
34:45
challenges, obstacles, um, you know,
34:48
things that are perceived as barriers But again, when you
34:52
know how the mind— the only thing that keeps me going, honest to God true,
34:56
the only thing that keeps me going is because I'm learning better
35:00
and better how the mind works. That's it.
35:04
Yeah, I'm really understanding the philosophy that Hill— that Carnegie
35:08
told Hill. Any ideal that is held in the mind,
35:11
that's emphasized, that's either feared or revered, will begin
35:16
at once to clothe itself in the most convenient an appropriate form available.
35:19
Any idea that's held in the mind, any idea that's held in the mind,
35:23
any idea. And the only thing that keeps me going is just me holding my
35:26
ideas in the mind. There's so much stuff that hits the fan on
35:29
the exterior, even in my life, right? Even in my situation
35:33
of what I, what I deal with every single day. I don't live a lavish
35:36
lifestyle that most people may think. Like I told someone the other day, most of
35:39
my life consists of me just laying on my bed responding to messages,
35:43
responding to emails, taking phone calls. I don't go shopping all the
35:46
time. I, I invest more money back into— like,
35:50
I look at my, my retreats that I do
35:54
like real estate or like the stock market. I invest
35:59
back into my business like it's real estate, like it's stocks.
36:03
And if you, if you buy a real estate property to,
36:07
and to rent out, then I remember there was a gentleman, he was
36:10
the number one realtor, you know this being in real estate, in Utah.
36:13
He said a good real estate property, for every $100,000
36:17
that it costs, it pumps out $100 per month passive. He said that's a
36:21
good deal. So if you got a half a million dollar property, if you're making
36:25
$500 a month off of that property, and you're thinking like half a million and
36:28
you're only making $500 a month, so just think about how many properties
36:32
you need to own to positively cash flow $10,000
36:36
a month. Like, it's an
36:40
incredible feat, a number that most people that get in real estate are like,
36:43
I'm just gonna own one home and make a million. Dude, no,
36:46
because you got to feed the beast. You open up a whole can of worms.
36:50
Same thing with the stock market. Like, it takes years for that,
36:53
for that reciprocation to hit. And if you're
36:58
wanting to bet on SpaceX shooting up, well, polarity— if it's a very
37:02
volatile jump, you're going to have a very volatile dip.
37:04
Exactly. So, and buy the dip. That is financial
37:09
advice, but I'm just saying, no, no advice was given on this call.
37:12
No advice is given on this call, but if it were me, I'd be buying
37:15
the dip. Buying the dip. So I look at that with everything I do,
37:19
man. Like, I've sacrificed a lot. I don't even have— matter of fact, I just
37:22
moved into this new place maybe back in March. I don't even have a
37:26
bookshelf, John, too, by the way. Thank you, man. He's finally asleep.
37:30
Um, I don't even have a bookshelf, John. I've like— I remember my buddy
37:33
came in, came in my house the other day. My buddy, he runs a,
37:36
um, he runs a few cleaning companies, multi-millionaire, you know, good friend of
37:40
mine. He came in my house the other day, he said, bro, you only have
37:42
a bookshelf. I said, yeah, man. I said, listen, all my books are on the
37:45
floor lined up because I'm always working. I'm like, I didn't even
37:49
have time to go think about a bookshelf
37:52
or designing my office. I literally just put everything where it's functional so that
37:56
I can take a call, take a meeting, move from here, move from there.
37:59
Like, I haven't bought new clothes since I left France. I'm just,
38:03
I'm so locked in on, on investing into these experiences,
38:07
creating these experiences. And and putting
38:11
the, the resources back into the people. You know, I have 2 goal
38:15
cards right here, John, and I keep these goal cards on my desk.
38:18
All right, and this is what— these are like my next steps,
38:22
bites out of the big vision, right? All these, these goal cards
38:25
that I have are bites out of the vision. And with what I'm creating,
38:28
this was actually one of the first ones that says, I'm so happy and grateful
38:31
now that SM Retreats are operating 3 times a year in luxury places around
38:35
the world, producing millions and impacting lives in every continent in the world. That's the
38:40
first goal card. Second one says, I'm slapping grateful now that SM Retreats
38:44
are being recognized and awarded on a global scale for positive impact
38:48
and are extremely high demand. Each retreat sells out the day it's launched. So outside
38:53
of this, I don't know what else I'm doing, right?
38:56
So for me, success looks like the,
39:00
the desk that has a bunch of ideas on it, right? I look— I remember
39:03
the photo of the old Amazon photo of Jeff Bezos in 1990
39:08
sitting at his desk where he's got like the little, the little poster of
39:11
Amazon in the back, but he's got books and notes and
39:14
things on the, on the table, different ideas, 2 laptops here.
39:19
I'm like, that is entrepreneurship.
39:23
It is not in France in the million-dollar villa,
39:28
you know, talking in front of people. That's not it. That's only like
39:32
one week out of the next 6 months?
39:35
What do the 6 months look like up into that? And that's why I always
39:39
tell people, like, you need to understand what entrepreneurship
39:43
really is. It is not this game of always,
39:48
like you said, shirt off driving in the Lambo. Matter of fact,
39:51
when you can even afford a Lambo, you don't want the Lambo.
39:54
Exactly. You're like, that money could be making me
39:58
more money. That money could be making— matter of fact, I could use that money
40:01
for for this, or I'm only going to get the Lambo as a marketing tool
40:03
for a tax write-off. So it's like it shifts
40:07
the game on why you even get those things or why you even want those,
40:11
those, those materialistic things. And I, and I don't, and I don't like to separate
40:15
material from invisible because material is just a form of the invisible,
40:18
right? But it shifts why you even want
40:22
those things. It shifts your perception on those things. It changes
40:26
like like the dynamic of what you're doing,
40:29
because sometimes those things interfere with your vision.
40:33
Like, I, I invest way more money into my business.
40:37
Like, someone's like, dude, how come you haven't bought a new car? I said,
40:40
I have, I just invested it into my business.
40:44
I could have got a Mercedes, I could have got, you know, drove around in
40:47
a nice car and looked just like everybody else in my neighborhood. But I promise
40:51
you, no one else in my neighborhood is saying I'm about to go to Bali.
40:53
I'm about to do this event. I just got back from France. I got friends
40:57
in 50 different countries. I promise you, no one in this neighborhood
41:01
can say that other than me. And matter of fact, my buddy who has the
41:04
multi-million dollar company, right? Very successful dude. He's 35, 36 years
41:08
old. I said, hey man, I'm doing an event in Vegas. You should come out
41:12
here. I said, matter of fact, I'm actually planning on doing something overseas.
41:15
I said, hey, you ever been out the country?
41:18
No. You got a passport? No.
41:23
No. What is the purpose of
41:26
the, of the business if you're
41:29
not going to get experiences? What's the purpose of
41:33
all that money? What's the purpose of the nice house just to
41:37
be here?
41:40
Um, respect due to anyone that's developing and building what they're building,
41:44
but To me,
41:47
life is about experiences. Life is about— matter
41:51
of fact, John, Bob told us to do this. I'm going to do this for
41:53
sure. I want to find a dartboard,
41:56
okay? He said you should get like a flat map of the world,
42:00
you know, like a flat map that shows the entire scape of the world.
42:04
And I want to find like a, like a flat map that has like,
42:07
um, it's like a dartboard. And he said this I've
42:12
yet to do it. I kind of do it, which is why I picked Bali,
42:15
but I kind of do it already on Google Maps. But he said
42:19
you should get, you should get some darts. He said you should
42:23
be in the place in your life where you could play this game. He said
42:26
you and 3 friends should have like 5 darts each,
42:30
and then wherever you throw the dart and it hits boom
42:34
on that dartboard, he said you should go there.
42:38
He said, that's how you should live your life. He said, that's the freedom
42:41
and the flexibility and the experiences that you should have.
42:45
So for me, John, that's what I'm all about, man, is building those experiences,
42:49
developing, um, international connections
42:53
and relations. Because again, to me, once you— when
42:57
you're 90 years old, or, you know, God forbid,
43:00
100 years old now because we have so much technology, when you're 100 And
43:04
you're on your last leg, the last thing I want to do is think about,
43:07
yeah, man, my neighborhood was great.
43:11
I know, my golf cart community was great. Mm-hmm.
43:15
You know, that grocery store I used to go to every day was great.
43:20
What? John, I have family members that have never left the city limits of Indianapolis.
43:25
I'll be damned if that's me. Yeah.
43:30
I want to be like, man, you remember that time when we went on safari
43:32
in Africa and there were lions and we had to jump out the car to
43:35
go pee and then hop back in? I want— remember
43:40
that lion almost got us? I want— I want those stories,
43:44
right? Solomon adventure if I've ever heard one right there. That is one.
43:48
Listen, I remember I told someone, my buddy Austin,
43:51
because he came to all my different retreats, I said, you know what's crazy,
43:54
man? Every single retreat we had a big problem. I remember one
43:58
of our retreats in Utah, one of the— we had the UTVs I was driving,
44:01
one of them flipped, right? And we flipped the UTV,
44:05
which is like the big ATVs, right? And we're like, we're sitting down that night,
44:09
I got a bruise on my leg from it. I'm like, gosh, that was crazy,
44:12
right? Remember when we just flipped that ATV and so-and-so got scared?
44:16
Good thing we had insurance, right? But,
44:19
but again, just experiences, man. Like, that's That's Jason
44:23
at 100 years old. I'm gonna be like, man, you remember when we did this?
44:26
Remember when we did that? Like, remember when we lost all of this and we
44:29
got it back? That to me is life, man. That's how it
44:33
should end. And that life teaches, that life
44:37
grows. You know, every one of those experiences is
44:41
another brick in that building that, that is creating Jason Solomon,
44:44
that's creating these self-mastery retreats that are reaching
44:48
people around the world. And that's— I love your, your zest
44:52
for life, and I love, uh, all of that. I'm the same way. I'm like,
44:55
I wrecked the snowmobile in, uh, in Park
44:59
City once, and I survived it, and it's the best story I have at a
45:03
party. I'm so glad I did it. The greatest stories at parties, man. That's what
45:07
we aim for, right? It's the best story. So Jason, I'm gonna,
45:10
I'm gonna wrap this up. You've been so generous with your time. I'm so glad
45:13
that we've gotten to do a second, uh, interview together. But I want to,
45:17
I want to leave you with this final question.
45:20
What is one thing about purpose that you believe
45:24
most people are missing? One thing about purpose I
45:28
believe most people are missing— they're missing themselves in
45:31
their purpose. I think it's, it's a popular thing to talk about
45:35
helping people, but if you don't help yourself,
45:39
you're missing the point. So for me,
45:42
Um, my purpose, and I learned this from
45:46
Bob, right? He says your purpose should always start
45:50
with you but then expand to the world. So he
45:54
was always saying his purpose is to live and work in a prosperous environment
45:58
that encourages productivity and pleasure, where I can, you know,
46:02
improve the service I render to myself, my country,
46:06
my city, my state, and ultimately the world. That was his And
46:10
I kind of modeled my purpose after that. My purpose is very simple,
46:13
is to first show myself a lifestyle I never thought was possible,
46:17
number one, and then, you know, dot comma,
46:22
give those same experiences back to others.
46:25
So that's my purpose, to first show myself a lifestyle I never
46:29
thought was possible, and then second, to be able to create those same experiences and
46:33
give those back to others. And I got— and I figured that purpose out during
46:36
COVID actually, before I started doing retreats.
46:41
So when people see me doing these experiences, the reason why I can't stop
46:45
thinking and planning— and that's why I'm like, why Bali?
46:49
Why not Miami? Why can't my brain just shut off?
46:52
Because that is my purpose. To first show myself a
46:56
lifestyle I never thought was possible. And then second,
46:59
to be able to give those same experiences back to others.
47:03
And I think most people don't include themselves in their purpose,
47:07
right? It's like the quote I hear people say, oh, I want to help people,
47:10
I want to help people, I want to help people. Well, empty cups
47:13
can't pour into others. Fill your cup and
47:18
so you have enough to pour into other people. And don't
47:22
pick the cliché thing. I don't know anybody that
47:25
has— that says that has the same purpose as me. I don't.
47:29
And when I heard Bob's purpose, I didn't hear anybody that had the same purpose
47:32
as him, right? And I think also, here's the last thing:
47:36
if your purpose does not extend beyond your family, I don't think it's a real
47:39
purpose. I, I remember doing so many meetings, man,
47:44
where people share their testimonial. I'm doing it for my family. I'm doing it for
47:47
my family. I'm doing it for my family. And I get that,
47:51
but that's a very shallow purpose. Only for your family?
47:56
And you gotta think, anyone that's inspired us,
48:00
they just do it for their family. Their family was obviously
48:04
a direct beneficiary. But imagine if
48:08
Muhammad Ali said, you know, I'm just gonna do it for my family.
48:12
If anybody of great magnitude that we look
48:16
up to that has shaped our world— Jeff Bezos— I'm just going
48:19
to do Amazon for my family.
48:23
No, get beyond your family. Your family is automatically
48:27
going to be a direct recipient of what you do anyways, so why don't you
48:30
have something that extends beyond them? Something that is,
48:34
that is going to leave a mark, leave your chapter where people
48:38
will start. And again, I think beyond, beyond the physical,
48:42
right? I want people to be telling stories about my experiences, right? To tell
48:46
stories about the things that we did or the impacts we touched.
48:49
Like how we talk about Bob— Bob been dead for 4 years, 5 years,
48:53
but his— the stories are going to live on,
48:57
live on, live on. The impact is going to live on. And his
49:00
family was a direct beneficiary of his purpose,
49:05
but they were not the only part of the purpose.
49:08
So I think there's 2 things: most people exclude themselves, and most
49:13
people end with family. And if you don't mention
49:16
yourself, right? Because you are the drive of the purpose, then you
49:20
won't have the fuel, the desire that I truly believe you'll have if
49:24
you're only just focused on other people. Sometimes you got to do
49:28
something for yourself a little bit. And then also it has to stretch beyond that
49:32
immediate environment. Because when you do that, that's when,
49:37
like, I could never be the rich guy that nobody knows.
49:41
I can never be the guy that has the Lamborghini that
49:45
only drives it on Sundays, parks it in the garage to hide it from everybody
49:48
else. I'm the dude that's going to go to the worst, worst neighborhood in Indianapolis
49:52
in the nicest car and tell all the kids, yeah, hop in, man, get your
49:55
photos. You know, I'm that rich.
49:59
I'm gonna go to the worst neighborhood in the nicest car and let people sit
50:03
in it, right? I know you want to rob me, but not right now,
50:07
right? Just sit in the car, right? I have security. I'm not stupid, but I'm
50:10
that person. Nah, dude, let's go. Let's impact. Go with
50:14
me. You are an impactful person.
50:18
And that, I think, if I had to describe you in one word, it would
50:21
be impactful. Everything that you do is impacting,
50:25
like you said, not just your family, but the literal
50:29
world, Jason. I mean, you are, you are flowing in
50:32
an impactful life. And I think that's an amazing,
50:36
amazing purpose. And I'll end it off with this quote. I heard this quote
50:40
from a very wise guy. He was actually an artist. His name was Nipsey Hussle.
50:45
He said, the highest human act is to inspire. There it is.
50:48
Huge. That's amazing. Jason, if people want
50:52
to connect with you or follow you, social media, website,
50:55
what's, uh, what are your handles? I'll also put this in the show notes too
50:59
if you're listening to this. Yeah, uh, people can actually on WhatsApp,
51:03
they can message me. My contact,
51:06
+1-317-432-9454 or
51:11
@_JasonS34, um, and they
51:15
can connect with me there. Um, I have, you know, I just created
51:19
a YouTube channel for the retreats, kind of show some videos there at
51:24
Self Mastery Retreats. You can look it up on YouTube,
51:27
see some of the videos that we have from previous experiences. And,
51:31
um, and yeah, just reach out, connect. I'm a real human,
51:35
not a robot. You're not AI
51:39
generated? What? No, no, not AI generated, man. I use it, I just
51:42
not used by it, right? Um, but yeah, I'm always
51:46
open to connect, and people that really want to grow, really want to
51:50
change, um, really want to get better, you know,
51:53
I'm always there to do it. And I'm the person where if I say it,
51:56
I'm going to do it. So that's another thing about me is that I don't
52:00
say anything that I don't plan on doing. So I'll see you guys in Bali.
52:03
That is huge. Absolutely, you'll see me in Bali too. Yeah,
52:07
you're coming? I missed— oh, I'll be there. I missed France because I broke my
52:11
tailbone, but I'll be in Las Vegas and I'll be in Bali, dude. I'll let
52:14
you know. I'm generating some stuff, John. I'm, I'm making some phone calls.
52:18
You know what's crazy, dude? I have to share this, man. I'm so sorry.
52:21
How manifestation really works. So I remember I told you in 2020
52:25
I watched every travel show you can think of,
52:29
YouTube, every vlog, everything you think of, man.
52:32
And there was a few guys on YouTube that had vlogs that I'd watched,
52:36
and I admired their, their vlogs. They're on the camera, they're,
52:39
you know, right next to a lion in the Serengeti, you know, or jumping off
52:43
a waterfall in Mauritius or something, you know, just in, in incredible places.
52:48
And Again, when an idea comes,
52:53
don't question. Like Earl Nightingale said, ideas are like slippery fish.
52:56
If you don't gaff them with a point of a pencil, they will go away.
53:00
When an idea comes that you have no idea
53:04
where it came from, you have no point of reference
53:08
of who put this in you, it's from a higher source.
53:12
Please trust it. Please take it. 2 days
53:15
ago, John, all of a sudden, um,
53:19
I was watching a show. There's a guy named Christian LeBlanc.
53:23
He, you know, million-plus followers on all his platforms.
53:26
He's a millionaire guy from his content creation, from his travel shows,
53:30
etc. And I was watching his show where he was doing like
53:34
a bike— he did a 42-day motorcycle ride around
53:38
Africa. Crazy, right? And I was watching his shows,
53:41
watching his episodes. His, his channel is called Lost LeBlanc,
53:45
so it's, it's L-E-B-L-A-N-C
53:49
because it's like a French name. Lost LeBlanc, that's his YouTube channel.
53:53
And I was watching the show around Africa, right, watching the show,
53:57
and then one of his little clips popped up. And then I
54:01
said, um, I would love to meet that guy, I'd love to collaborate
54:05
with him, right? Love to meet that guy. And, you know, with successful
54:09
people, you know, they— everybody wants to meet them, you know. Everybody wants
54:13
to connect with people, you know. And, and I've got a taste of that too,
54:16
where if you have an event, everyone wants to talk to you. So I understand,
54:19
right? But I say, I want to meet him. I want to find a way
54:23
to collaborate with him. And the idea said
54:26
have a retreat in Bali.
54:29
Christian, the guy who runs that show, actually has a villa in Bali.
54:33
That registered the number 1 villa in all of Bali.
54:37
It's called Lost Creator's Villa, right?
54:41
And so I found it on Airbnb and I reached out
54:45
to him and me and him were messaging about the villa and I told him
54:49
about my retreats. I said, listen, man, I'm gonna have a retreat in Bali.
54:51
I wanna use your property because I wanna connect with you, da da da da
54:55
da, blah blah blah blah blah, et cetera. And then the name hit me because
54:59
I was gonna do another SM $100K retreat. But I was
55:02
like, no, Bali is where creators get together.
55:07
Bali is where, um, people that have crazy
55:10
ideas come to get away from the world to talk
55:14
about those ideas. So I said, you know what, I'm going to call this retreat
55:18
the SM Creators Mastermind. And all the ideas
55:22
came just from that one idea happening in Bali. Then I started to
55:26
make new connections. I've actually Just connected with 2 people today that live in Bali
55:31
unintentionally, right? The universe is just lining this stuff
55:34
up. I'm looking at all these different venues, and I have the craziest
55:38
plan for this retreat in Bali. It's going to be the greatest thing I've ever
55:42
done. I just got to get the Balinese permit. That's not too hard to do.
55:45
You just got to call the government, right? And, you know, it's a fee.
55:48
You just got to pay the fee to have an event there. But then again,
55:52
all these ideas— like, I'm telling you, when you get a vision Do not freaking
55:55
question it. When you have a vision— actually, I told someone this yesterday.
55:59
I said, if you ever go to a movie, there's this movie
56:02
The Odyssey that's coming out, right? The little Greek movie. It's pretty crazy.
56:06
It's pretty cool how it has it. I said, but when I saw that commercial
56:10
of The Odyssey, that means the movie was already finished.
56:14
All right, whenever you see a preview, because the
56:18
preview is what they've done the full movie and and they've taken
56:21
the most exciting clips out of that movie to show you,
56:25
to entice you to come to the movie. So by the time you see the
56:29
preview, the movie's already finished. I told someone yesterday,
56:33
I said, if you have a preview in your mind,
56:36
God gives you a preview, that means the movie's already
56:40
finished. You just got to work backwards to
56:44
put that piece together of those previews to put
56:48
the pieces of the full movie together. It's already
56:51
done. If you have a preview, an outline, like in the
56:55
book, um, one of my favorite books— where's it at? I have it on the
56:59
floor— Power of Your Subconscious Mind.
57:03
Uh, you all should get this book. You see, it's one
57:07
of my favorite books that I read a long time ago.
57:11
All right. This book right here by Joseph Murphy, Power of
57:15
Your Subconscious Mind. All right, in this book it talks
57:20
about how in order for you to start chasing a vision,
57:24
you do not need the clearest picture of the vision.
57:29
It says all you need is the outline. That's it.
57:34
All you need is the outline, and then the steps
57:38
will be filled as long as you start to move towards it. So if
57:41
for anybody watching this, if you have any preview clip of a
57:45
vision, please know that the creator of the movie's already
57:49
finished the movie. The movie's already finished.
57:53
You just have to work backwards to put
57:57
those pieces together. And if you do that, I promise you life's
58:01
going to open up incredible doors. So John, that's all I got to say,
58:04
man. Jason, that is so powerful. I was
58:08
raised in southeastern United States, raised in Alabama, and raised in
58:12
church, and that's what we call shouting words right there. Like that, I— it's
58:16
like, amen, amen. I could run the aisles. Like, that is just so huge,
58:19
man. I don't just get an image of John running the aisles.
58:23
I'm telling you what, I could do it because you're so
58:26
right. The creator of the movie has already created
58:30
it. If you've got the preview, you just got to get to that frequency.
58:33
You just got to flow in it. It's already done. I love that.
58:37
It's like a, it's like a slippery fish. You got to put a pin in
58:40
it. My mom used to say, opportunity is bald-headed. When it runs past you,
58:44
you can't grab its hair. You got to grab it because it don't have no
58:47
hair to grab. If it passed you, you can't get it. So yeah,
58:51
Jason, you are the man and your impact is huge. Thank you
58:55
so much for being here with us again on, uh,
58:59
