Transcript
- 0:00See that guy?
- 0:02So he's sort of the only one who cares what you're doing.
- 0:07And that's just my shadow.
- 0:10You have your own.
- 0:13Ciao Tutti benvenuto al Trieste. In Italia, it's Bradley Chauvin and a little Thursday thunder going on right here. I'm right here, I swear. Here, turn off. That's a good angle. I know.
- 0:24So why are you doing the things you're doing?
- 0:28Why do you do anything you do?
- 0:30Who's it for? Who's it really for?
- 0:34Is it for your spouse? Is it for your kids? Is it for your family?
- 0:39Who's it for? Why are you doing what you're doing?
- 0:42We can even take this YouTube channel of mine, right? Or podcast. Why am I. Why do I do this? And if you follow me recently, you'll know it's all about me.
- 0:56Which means, translated loosely, it's really all about you.
- 1:00Because what you're doing is all about you.
- 1:05I'm a little worried about the wind here. Got the audio quality going from, like, bad to worse.
- 1:11That's okay, because I'm getting this off my chest.
- 1:14I'm in Italy, in the north, in Trieste. It's way over by Slovenia, which is where we're going tomorrow.
- 1:21And I just had a thought from this guy, because this guy here, he's always with me, right? It's just. Who's the guy?
- 1:31That's the guy. Who's the guy? That's the guy who's the one who's always with me. He's always going to be with me. And there's three of us. Actually, there's Martijn. Let's see. Martijn, Henri. And go. There's my mind and my heart and my gut.
- 1:47They're always with me. Who's always with you? Do you have the names of your three Personas? The three characters who make up who you are, who have you become, and who you will be next?
- 2:01I've got mine. I've got them down pat. Martijn, Henri and Gault.
- 2:07They help me make my decisions. And they also help me make decisions, like, should I cross the street right here or not? You know what usually happens? Go. The gut says it's go time. It's go time. It's time to go. It's time to cross the street. Martijn's gonna check out for traffic real quick. He is gonna have a look. And Henri is like, where is the gelato?
- 2:29So who will you be next?
- 2:33Who is that guy or gal? Who's the one who's Gonna be with you long term.
- 2:42Now, I'm not talking relationships. I'm not talking family and any of that.
- 2:49I'm talking late at night and early in the morning when it is those first few minutes of glory, of clarity, courage, and confidence.
- 2:59Who is at your side? At my side, right there.
- 3:03You know who it is. It's you.
- 3:06So why are you doing the thing you're doing and is it benefiting you?
- 3:14And I know what I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get the feedback of Bradley, you're being very egotistical. You're just thinking of yourself.
- 3:20You know who I'm thinking of?
- 3:22Myself.
- 3:23Why? I'm back to the airplane. I'm back to the oxygen mask. I'm back to. I need to put the oxygen mask on myself first so that I can be the best person I can be.
- 3:38I'm my happiest, I'm my greatest, I'm my most epic.
- 3:43So that I can be there for those around me. I can be there as a teacher, as a guide, as a father, as a husband, as a friend, as a cousin, as an uncle, as a tourist guide.
- 3:57Over here is the statue of the cement thing with the angel. Yeah, whatever.
- 4:03All right, so who is this?
- 4:05Who's gonna be there for you for the long term?
- 4:10Right. Is it your partner? Great. Is it your family? Hope so. Your mom, dad? Yeah. Well, to a certain extent. Your kids? Yeah.
- 4:20Dog. Dog. Okay, dog. There's an exception for dog dogs. Dog's gonna be there because the dog talk about unconditional love. But again, I'm trying not to make this into a relationship topic. I'm trying to make this into a relationship of you.
- 4:36Who are you in relation to you?
- 4:40And I said, like, why are you doing what you're doing?
- 4:43And I often talk about your purpose and your meaning and why you're doing what you're doing. And you think it could be work, right? It could be work related. A lot of people would take that as a work related topic. I guess so. But for me, like, if you know my YouTube channel, you know, I'm not doing it for the money because you've heard my honest stories about the money and how it's not there. So you know why or why not? You're doing that thing, right?
- 5:10So why are you doing the thing? And do you want to keep doing that thing? What is the purpose of the thing? What is the core? What is the reason you're doing the thing? Deep down, why are you doing it? Why do you get out of it?
- 5:27Like, what Do I get out of this YouTube channel and podcast?
- 5:30I need to share a message. A message. I need to get content, like, out of my system.
- 5:39I need to.
- 5:41It's the exhaust pipe, as I talk about very often. There's the input and the output, and there's the consuming and the. And the creating.
- 5:48And for me, it makes all the difference in a solid, happy, strong, powerful, energetic, epic, creative, artistic, beautiful, flowery life.
- 6:06And that's. But that's me.
- 6:08So why are you doing what you're doing?
- 6:11And let's try not to make this about the job, because the job, you're usually going to say, and I have the same, you know, for the money to pay the rent, pay the mortgage, put food on the table. I get it. That's why we do things. Of course. We have obligations, we have relationships, we have requirements, we have needs, we have necessities, we have taxes and costs and all that good stuff. And I think I'm getting back into the wind. I'm going away.
- 6:38Run away from the wind. It's not good.
- 6:42I would apologize for the audio. Oh, I know where I'm going. I'm going this little tunnel here.
- 6:46Our hotel's right over here.
- 6:50All right.
- 6:52I just want to give a little tour of Trieste and. Oh, going to the tunnel. It's dark.
- 7:01What's that?
- 7:03You feeling it? Feeling better?
- 7:06How you feel? How you feeling? When I talk about this, do you feel like I'm doing. Do you say, bradley, I'm doing what I want to do. I'm doing what I need to do. I'm doing it because I want to. I'm doing it because I need to. I'm doing it for me.
- 7:19I'm doing part of it for me. Remember, I'm not talking about the money. I'm not talking about the mortgage payment, not talking about the bills. Not that I was going to say real stuff. Bradley, are you just talking about the unreal stuff? Bradley, are you just talking about fantasy land and in good times and happy go lucky, and let's just walk around Italy and do videos and that's supposed to be my life?
- 7:42No, it's about.
- 7:44It's about creating.
- 7:47You know, there's a word. Legacy. I don't love it, but it's not bad, right? Like, the legacy of why, okay, this is big, but why did you exist? Like, what were you doing in your existence?
- 8:01What. What was that?
- 8:03What was that all about? Yeah, you know, your life.
- 8:07All right, what am I? Am I. Is it too hot? Is it too sunny? Is the sun getting to me and I'm talking nonsense, or am I digging in deep? Are we getting real?
- 8:17How you feeling? How you feeling about what you're doing? And if you're not proud of what you're doing, what could you do to become proud? What could you do? I'm going down here. What could you do that is something that you could be proud of, that you could start, that you could create? And if you're going to ask my opinion, which I'm not saying you do, but you know, I've got answers, or at least I've got suggestions.
- 8:45And for me, it's creating. I mean, it's doing something like this.
- 8:51If you want to know. If you want to ask me, Bradley, what do I do? What do I really do? What I really, really, really, really want.
- 8:56I would create something every day for 30 days.
- 8:59It absolutely transformed my life. Back on November 1, 2012.
- 9:07There you have it. It is hot. It is 33. Let's see if I can get it.
- 9:11See if I can focus in.
- 9:14I can't.
- 9:16Thank God. It's 33 degrees. It's 33 degrees out. That's Celsius. And translated to Fahrenheit, it's hot.
- 9:23I don't even know Fahrenheit anymore. I've lived outside of the U.S. too long.
- 9:27Okay, I'm wrapping up. This is 10 minutes Thursday thunder. And my phone is kind of burning.
- 9:31So time to go. And it's time for you to think. It's the middle of 2026.
- 9:38What is 2027 going to look like? And how are you going to make it different?
- 9:42What little tiny daily habit could you do to make a difference in yourself? Remember, we're not talking money. We're not talking family or success. We're talking you. What tiny little thing could you do to change your upcoming year?
- 9:59Bye for now.
