1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,200
in love with fitness.

2
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,900
And so I became certified in 2001

3
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:06,500
after losing all the weight and really rehabbing my back

4
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:08,800
and being able to do things that doctors said

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,160
I was never gonna be able to do like squats and deadlifts.

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,100
And from there it just blossomed.

7
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:17,300
And I had an opportunity.

8
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:19,240
I don't know, I think I was on somebody's mailing list

9
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,300
because I was a brand new personal trainer.

10
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:23,420
Like open up your own personal trainer facility.

11
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:25,500
I'm like, yeah, let's go, let's do this.

12
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,660
All right, welcome in to Vision Pros Live.

13
00:00:28,660 --> 00:00:30,700
I'm Jackson Calame, I'm your show host.

14
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:33,380
We will be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs

15
00:00:33,380 --> 00:00:35,360
and guest leaders who are building

16
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,900
fantastic visions out there.

17
00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:47,980
What's up Vision Pros and welcome to another episode

18
00:00:47,980 --> 00:00:49,100
of Vision Pros Live.

19
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,020
I'm your host, Jackson Calame,

20
00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:53,540
founder and CEO of First Class Business.

21
00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:58,220
I am super excited to have the Sean Murphy in the house.

22
00:00:58,220 --> 00:00:59,700
The Sean Murphy.com.

23
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:02,140
We will tag that URL my friend

24
00:01:02,140 --> 00:01:04,660
that we'll bring Sean on in just a minute.

25
00:01:04,660 --> 00:01:05,780
Shout out to our sponsors.

26
00:01:05,780 --> 00:01:09,720
We got Icon Maker Live coming up this coming week.

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,100
I'm super excited about this.

28
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:13,700
Cheryl and Tom have put together an extraordinary lineup

29
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:15,420
of amazing teachers and it's all about

30
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:20,420
how to make podcast launch and not just become profitable.

31
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:22,580
They're gonna be all about seven figure

32
00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:26,260
and eight figure practices in podcasting.

33
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:28,460
So we're talking about people who really, really

34
00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:30,060
wanna get after it big.

35
00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:31,980
So Icon Maker Live, go check that out.

36
00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:33,860
Oh cool, Jaime's got that pulling up.

37
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:36,540
So now my fingers don't point where I was going for it.

38
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:37,380
There it is.

39
00:01:37,380 --> 00:01:39,660
All right, so anyway, Icon Maker Live.

40
00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:40,900
Go ahead and show that while I talk through

41
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:42,340
CapShow for a minute.

42
00:01:42,340 --> 00:01:44,420
That way people can just get an idea visually

43
00:01:44,420 --> 00:01:46,520
of what's gonna take place at that event

44
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,340
over the four day process.

45
00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:51,540
If you're a VIP, you have an extra day included in that.

46
00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:55,060
And they're even doing some bonus event workshops

47
00:01:55,060 --> 00:01:56,660
after the event.

48
00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:58,820
So very cool how they're gonna spread that out

49
00:01:58,820 --> 00:02:01,820
and make sure that the network effect blossoms.

50
00:02:01,820 --> 00:02:04,820
Doesn't just stick at the time of the event

51
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:06,260
and then die right after.

52
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:08,240
You've probably all experienced that with events.

53
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,380
We get excited and then you just don't hang on.

54
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:11,420
You don't get out of it.

55
00:02:11,420 --> 00:02:12,980
Everything that you wanted to in the relationship

56
00:02:12,980 --> 00:02:14,340
so you've got room for friends for life,

57
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:15,580
don't end up being friends for life,

58
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:17,060
then end up being friends for the event

59
00:02:17,060 --> 00:02:18,780
or until the next one.

60
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:20,260
We can do better than that, my friends.

61
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:23,880
So CapShow, speaking of creating new relationships

62
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,620
and starting fresh, one of the things that is

63
00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:29,860
the bane of existence for most online professionals

64
00:02:29,860 --> 00:02:32,520
is the need to constantly build content.

65
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,140
And they say that content is king.

66
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:35,380
It's not.

67
00:02:35,380 --> 00:02:37,620
Content, great content is king.

68
00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:38,680
It's still very important.

69
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,340
You've gotta provide some serious value.

70
00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:42,540
So the cool thing is, if you're a podcaster

71
00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:44,180
who talks about important subjects,

72
00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:45,920
you're an expert in your field, you know what you're doing,

73
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:48,180
or you've created video content

74
00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:50,500
or you've created audio content, another format,

75
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,500
whatever format you created in

76
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:57,180
that can be uploaded, upload it into capshow.com

77
00:02:57,180 --> 00:02:59,420
and it will then take that content

78
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:03,660
and allow you to create blog posts, LinkedIn articles,

79
00:03:03,660 --> 00:03:07,260
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn messages.

80
00:03:07,260 --> 00:03:09,540
It's amazing how many different forms of content

81
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:11,100
that you can then create with a click of a button.

82
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:11,940
Why?

83
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:14,840
Because it's taking your episode, your voice,

84
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,260
and whoever you've hosted, and it's taking the segments

85
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:18,820
out of that that are powerful and important

86
00:03:18,820 --> 00:03:21,060
and writing your copy for you.

87
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:22,820
It's absolutely brilliant and genius.

88
00:03:22,820 --> 00:03:26,340
And it also takes sound bites out of it too.

89
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:28,780
And it does quotables so that you can get great quotes

90
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:29,660
out of your content.

91
00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:33,700
It's saving hundreds of hours for so many companies.

92
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,860
I don't produce our show, by the way.

93
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:37,420
Jaime takes care of that.

94
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:38,420
Valentina helps with it.

95
00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:40,420
Cynthia, there's a couple people involved in the process.

96
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:41,640
Zach too, I don't wanna leave anybody out.

97
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,820
Sebastian, thank you.

98
00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:44,940
There's a lot of people that go through the process

99
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:47,940
of making sure that our content's ready to go.

100
00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:50,660
And a big part of it is their ability to go into capshow

101
00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:54,260
and extract information quickly that can be very easy

102
00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:56,580
for me to pre-approve or review in the case

103
00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:59,300
that I wanna also dive in and make sure that we ensure

104
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:01,540
that that message is 100% on point with my voice.

105
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:03,260
So I come maker in capshow.

106
00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:05,500
And lastly, but definitely not least,

107
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:08,460
we would love to see you contribute to the water project.

108
00:04:08,460 --> 00:04:09,620
Give back to people in need,

109
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:12,260
people who don't even have a drink of water.

110
00:04:12,260 --> 00:04:13,940
I'm not one of those people who says like,

111
00:04:13,940 --> 00:04:16,140
hey, don't give it to the people on the corner

112
00:04:16,140 --> 00:04:17,860
because you could do so much more elsewhere.

113
00:04:17,860 --> 00:04:19,900
I would say go ahead and do both.

114
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:21,660
Especially if you live in America,

115
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:23,820
we have a lot of access to a lot of great things.

116
00:04:23,820 --> 00:04:26,220
It's not hard to pull out your digital wallet

117
00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:29,060
and give a dollar to one of these communities.

118
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:31,020
And what's really cool is then the water project

119
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:32,940
turns around and keeps you up to date

120
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:34,220
with where your dollar went to

121
00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:35,620
and what's happened to that community.

122
00:04:35,620 --> 00:04:38,060
And you get to see the smiles in these people's faces

123
00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:40,300
and you know that, oh, wow, that's not a stock photo.

124
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:42,820
That's an actual community that I got to help

125
00:04:42,820 --> 00:04:43,660
and assist with.

126
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:45,360
It's absolutely amazing.

127
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,020
So I would love to see more people sign up,

128
00:04:48,020 --> 00:04:48,860
contribute to that.

129
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:50,380
If you have a charity, by the way,

130
00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:52,260
or a cause that you're like, Jackson,

131
00:04:52,260 --> 00:04:54,440
this cause would be way better to promote.

132
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,720
Do us all a favor and just drop the link.

133
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,940
Just let us know.

134
00:04:57,940 --> 00:04:59,180
We'll promote your cause too.

135
00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:01,620
We're not trying to like hoard it for one or the other.

136
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:03,500
This is just the entity of my choice.

137
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:05,540
So I would love to see what else we can do

138
00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:06,380
out there in the world.

139
00:05:06,380 --> 00:05:09,220
We've got 8 billion people on this earth to help.

140
00:05:09,220 --> 00:05:12,860
That's a lot of people and we do it better together,

141
00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:13,700
in my opinion.

142
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:16,160
So with that said, Coach Sean Murphy,

143
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,540
super happy to have you here.

144
00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:19,220
Excited to get to know your story.

145
00:05:19,220 --> 00:05:20,580
Welcome to the show.

146
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:23,900
We're happy to have you as a Vision Pro on Vision Pros Live.

147
00:05:23,900 --> 00:05:26,620
Dude, I am so grateful and humbled to be here.

148
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:27,460
This is an honor.

149
00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:29,800
I really do appreciate it, Jackson.

150
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,020
Well, man, I'm excited.

151
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:32,580
It's our honor as well.

152
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:35,500
So we'll go on and on our back and forth for a while.

153
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:36,420
Just kidding.

154
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,720
We're gonna dive right into the first question.

155
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,100
So the biggest question I have for you, Sean,

156
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:44,220
is who should be listening to this show?

157
00:05:44,220 --> 00:05:46,460
Why should they listen to you?

158
00:05:46,460 --> 00:05:49,300
And what are they gonna get out of our discussion today?

159
00:05:50,180 --> 00:05:52,720
Yeah, there's so much to cover with that.

160
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,600
But let me just keep it to my passion.

161
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,940
And who should be listening to me is anybody

162
00:05:58,940 --> 00:06:02,260
who's feeling a little maybe distraught right now.

163
00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:05,060
Maybe they're feeling a little lost in the wilderness.

164
00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:07,100
This is hard, right?

165
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:10,540
And I know that your show caters a lot to the entrepreneur.

166
00:06:10,540 --> 00:06:12,580
And sometimes we could just feel all alone.

167
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:15,580
Like my personal story, I was surrounded by clients.

168
00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:16,860
I was surrounded by loved ones.

169
00:06:16,860 --> 00:06:21,860
I was surrounded by coaches and a gym full of people,

170
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:24,980
but I never felt more alone.

171
00:06:24,980 --> 00:06:27,300
And that was just because of the internal stories

172
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:28,540
that were going on.

173
00:06:28,540 --> 00:06:31,120
And your close friends, your family, your peers,

174
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,220
they can't relate to an entrepreneur, right?

175
00:06:33,220 --> 00:06:34,860
Like they don't get it.

176
00:06:34,860 --> 00:06:36,140
They don't have the same mindset.

177
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:38,460
So they don't have, you can't really share

178
00:06:38,460 --> 00:06:39,300
your struggles with them.

179
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:40,500
And in the same breath,

180
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,260
you can't even share your victories with them

181
00:06:42,260 --> 00:06:44,300
because they just don't get it.

182
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:47,060
And so I always felt very alone for a very long time.

183
00:06:47,060 --> 00:06:49,740
And when the hard times hit, I had nowhere to turn.

184
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:51,660
And so I was turning to like alcohol

185
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:52,500
and things of that nature.

186
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:56,360
So, and it led me down a very dark road.

187
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,020
So with that said, I went through this almost a decade

188
00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:03,140
of living damaged, defeated, and depressed.

189
00:07:03,140 --> 00:07:05,640
And so if there's somebody here today

190
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,660
that's feeling that struggle,

191
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:09,760
I would invite you to tune in

192
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,780
because you do not have to live damaged,

193
00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:12,620
defeated, depressed.

194
00:07:12,620 --> 00:07:15,420
There is a road out and I would be honored

195
00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:16,860
to share that with you today.

196
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:19,100
Dude, that's awesome.

197
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:21,420
It's deep and it's very important,

198
00:07:21,420 --> 00:07:25,100
especially for, you know, well, those individuals directly.

199
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:27,980
And, you know, if you're newer to the entrepreneur path

200
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:31,500
and journey, there is a period of isolation,

201
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:34,020
a path phase and a path of isolation

202
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:36,940
that I don't think it can be avoided.

203
00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:38,180
It can be confusing.

204
00:07:38,180 --> 00:07:41,060
You can have people who join you on that.

205
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:42,780
There's mentors who will help cheer you on

206
00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:43,620
and help you go through it.

207
00:07:43,620 --> 00:07:46,540
But at the same time, the amount of life changes

208
00:07:46,540 --> 00:07:48,580
that you have to make in the process

209
00:07:48,580 --> 00:07:50,100
is something that, you know,

210
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:52,820
most gurus don't wanna market

211
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:56,460
because it's not sellable, you know, in that regard.

212
00:07:56,460 --> 00:08:00,500
But it is not an easy path to become an entrepreneur.

213
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:01,340
That's right.

214
00:08:01,340 --> 00:08:03,340
No, and I'm glad that you brought that up

215
00:08:03,340 --> 00:08:05,440
because, you know, there's a lot of glam

216
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,460
behind entrepreneurship today.

217
00:08:07,460 --> 00:08:09,820
Like it's the buzzword, start your side hustle,

218
00:08:09,820 --> 00:08:11,300
you know, get into the online space.

219
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:12,220
You could do this, you could do that,

220
00:08:12,220 --> 00:08:14,180
which I think everybody should.

221
00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:16,720
Like I think if you're struggling with your finances,

222
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,540
you should definitely be starting a side hustle,

223
00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:22,100
but don't think it's a get rich quick scheme overnight

224
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:22,920
or anything like that.

225
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Like, you know, in order to have,

226
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,720
like there's certain steps that we have to go through, right?

227
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,740
But there's a lot of great mentors out there.

228
00:08:29,740 --> 00:08:31,740
You don't have to do it alone.

229
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:35,380
And it's hard as it might be,

230
00:08:35,380 --> 00:08:38,420
it's fulfilling and very rewarding.

231
00:08:38,420 --> 00:08:41,180
So it's very much worth it.

232
00:08:41,180 --> 00:08:42,460
I don't know what the Charles and Triglacies

233
00:08:42,460 --> 00:08:43,780
you have to go through.

234
00:08:43,780 --> 00:08:46,780
You know, and to some of you younger entrepreneurs,

235
00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:50,820
you know, I'm 35 now, but I started as an entrepreneur,

236
00:08:50,820 --> 00:08:52,860
you know, when I was 21.

237
00:08:52,860 --> 00:08:55,360
And I'd already done lots of entrepreneurial things,

238
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,260
including my mission, right?

239
00:08:57,260 --> 00:08:59,980
Which is extremely entrepreneurial.

240
00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:02,060
Pretty much my whole life I've been going through it.

241
00:09:02,060 --> 00:09:04,460
So I did have a little bit of a culture

242
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:06,500
of understanding of what it was like.

243
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:08,860
And at the same time, when I made the leap

244
00:09:08,860 --> 00:09:10,840
to actually being an entrepreneur,

245
00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:16,660
you know, my friendships that weren't entrepreneurs

246
00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:20,580
didn't really keep up, you know, didn't really reach out.

247
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:23,780
And I stopped reaching out because I had things to do,

248
00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:26,300
but I also had new relationships develop.

249
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:28,840
And so it was kind of a natural process for me in my 20s,

250
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,940
because that's what you do when you go to college, you know,

251
00:09:31,940 --> 00:09:33,060
and when you do those things.

252
00:09:33,060 --> 00:09:34,420
Well, the same thing is true with entrepreneurship,

253
00:09:34,420 --> 00:09:38,620
but I can definitely see what you've exposed my mind, Sean,

254
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:40,180
to that reality that, whoa, you know,

255
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:43,860
like when you're 30 or 40 and doing that, you know,

256
00:09:43,860 --> 00:09:46,780
and even if again, like I said, those who are right there,

257
00:09:46,780 --> 00:09:51,420
you're giving them insight into seeing those obstacles

258
00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:52,260
that are heading their way.

259
00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:55,740
And now, again, you can navigate it easier

260
00:09:55,740 --> 00:09:57,500
with a team of mentors.

261
00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:58,980
And I would say a team of mentors.

262
00:09:58,980 --> 00:10:00,340
So let's talk about this.

263
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:02,260
What is your vision, Sean,

264
00:10:02,260 --> 00:10:04,660
for those that you serve in 30 seconds?

265
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:07,740
Yeah, so for those who I serve, it's really helping people,

266
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:10,860
it's really helping entrepreneur navigate their businesses

267
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:12,640
through biblical truth and wisdom,

268
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,060
because that's really what got me out of the dark places.

269
00:10:15,060 --> 00:10:16,860
That's when I just started seeing it.

270
00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:19,180
I came from a place of a selfish heart,

271
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:21,020
and now I come from a servant heart,

272
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:23,180
and that was the game changer for everything.

273
00:10:23,180 --> 00:10:28,180
So yeah, that's who I'd be here to serve, for sure.

274
00:10:28,180 --> 00:10:29,020
I love that.

275
00:10:29,020 --> 00:10:31,100
So some people would say manipulating scripture

276
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:34,300
in order to gain a profitable outcome,

277
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:36,320
but that would be the misheard version

278
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,640
of what you just said.

279
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,980
So let's dive a little bit deeper

280
00:10:38,980 --> 00:10:43,580
into demystifying biblical lessons.

281
00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:45,860
And I'm gonna include right up front,

282
00:10:45,860 --> 00:10:49,180
lessons from any religious books

283
00:10:49,180 --> 00:10:52,340
and elements of truth that exist in the world,

284
00:10:52,340 --> 00:10:56,180
elements of truth, not speculated truth, elements of truth.

285
00:10:56,180 --> 00:11:00,300
If you're doing that, then the goal is to utilize that

286
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:04,880
in order to carve out a path of success

287
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,740
with more certainty based on principles.

288
00:11:07,740 --> 00:11:12,740
So how do you deal with that scenario or equation

289
00:11:13,420 --> 00:11:15,140
when people feel a little uncomfortable

290
00:11:15,140 --> 00:11:17,320
about tying business and religion together,

291
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,380
or business and spirituality?

292
00:11:19,380 --> 00:11:20,960
No, it's funny.

293
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,100
There's really two sizes spectrum, right?

294
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,860
Like there's the prosperity gospel, right?

295
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:28,260
And that's kind of the Joel Olsteen to the world.

296
00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:33,260
And then you have the, really the poverty gospel,

297
00:11:33,380 --> 00:11:37,140
where it's like, you can't be rich and righteous.

298
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:39,660
And unfortunately, both sides of the spectrum

299
00:11:39,660 --> 00:11:41,420
have it all wrong.

300
00:11:41,420 --> 00:11:44,140
I firmly believe that the Bible is the greatest

301
00:11:44,140 --> 00:11:46,100
business book that has ever written.

302
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:49,020
And it starts with the book of Genesis,

303
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:50,900
where it straight up tells us,

304
00:11:53,540 --> 00:11:56,540
well, I'll just read it to you.

305
00:11:56,540 --> 00:11:59,260
Because I hate doing it from memory,

306
00:12:00,980 --> 00:12:03,700
but it's right in Genesis chapter one.

307
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:06,420
And God said to them in verse 28,

308
00:12:06,420 --> 00:12:08,540
be fruitful and increase the number,

309
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:10,060
fill the earth and subdue it,

310
00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:12,620
rule over the fish and the sea and the birds and air

311
00:12:12,620 --> 00:12:14,400
and everything and every living creature

312
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,460
that moves on the ground.

313
00:12:15,460 --> 00:12:19,960
So he commanded us to be, he commanded us to,

314
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,780
hey, you are going to be fruitful and increase the number.

315
00:12:23,780 --> 00:12:25,200
And I'm gonna give you an assignment,

316
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,760
which is going to be to rule,

317
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,540
have dominion over the earth.

318
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:30,440
And that is exactly what our instructions are.

319
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,860
We are here to, we're here to serve our God.

320
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:38,060
And in doing so, we have an assignment to fulfill.

321
00:12:38,060 --> 00:12:41,140
And personally, I feel that my assignment

322
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:42,500
is to serve others.

323
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,200
And so I'll do it at the highest capacity possible.

324
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,040
So-

325
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,260
Let's explore some of those synonyms

326
00:12:47,260 --> 00:12:49,180
for those old school words you utilized.

327
00:12:49,180 --> 00:12:50,620
So you said be fruitful.

328
00:12:50,620 --> 00:12:52,700
What's another word for fruitful?

329
00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:54,500
Well, another word for fruitful is,

330
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:57,300
multiple are just, yeah, it's bearing fruit.

331
00:12:57,300 --> 00:12:58,820
It's-

332
00:12:58,820 --> 00:12:59,660
Bear fruit, right?

333
00:12:59,660 --> 00:13:03,780
To be productive, to multiply, right?

334
00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:06,020
As well, but there's lots of ways to look at that.

335
00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:10,260
And I appreciate that you include how we provide

336
00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:12,100
for ourselves.

337
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:14,260
And that's where that dominion part

338
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:15,380
kind of comes into play too.

339
00:13:15,380 --> 00:13:18,580
A lot of people associate dominion with dominate,

340
00:13:18,580 --> 00:13:20,500
but there are other ways of looking at it,

341
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,220
like presiding, which means to be an example.

342
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:24,060
Absolutely.

343
00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:28,300
When we deface the scary reality of modern vernacular,

344
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:31,180
or modern words, and start to look at,

345
00:13:31,180 --> 00:13:36,180
how do these things, how do these words exist in harmony?

346
00:13:36,420 --> 00:13:39,660
You know, for our wellbeing and our good cheer,

347
00:13:39,660 --> 00:13:41,660
then it can be a pretty phenomenal process.

348
00:13:41,660 --> 00:13:42,900
So I'm curious too.

349
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:46,200
In 15 seconds, what's your vision personally?

350
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:51,100
You know, it's to hear the words,

351
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:53,020
well done, good and faithful servant.

352
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:55,020
And that's really it.

353
00:13:55,020 --> 00:13:56,140
That's it.

354
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:56,980
That's really deep.

355
00:13:56,980 --> 00:13:58,100
You can mic drop on that.

356
00:13:58,100 --> 00:13:58,980
I'm cool with that.

357
00:13:58,980 --> 00:14:00,620
I know what that means.

358
00:14:00,620 --> 00:14:04,300
So for those of you who are looking out for what that means,

359
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:07,260
you know, that is who,

360
00:14:07,260 --> 00:14:10,140
I'm gonna define this somewhat for you, Sean.

361
00:14:10,140 --> 00:14:12,420
And I'd love for you to correct me or add to it,

362
00:14:12,420 --> 00:14:15,780
but I would say that's his God, you know,

363
00:14:15,780 --> 00:14:18,980
his father in heaven who loves him saying at the end,

364
00:14:18,980 --> 00:14:20,020
you did awesome.

365
00:14:20,020 --> 00:14:22,380
Like you did exactly what, you know,

366
00:14:22,380 --> 00:14:26,900
you made it and there's more goodness ahead because of that.

367
00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:27,740
Is that fair?

368
00:14:27,740 --> 00:14:29,500
You nailed it, 100%.

369
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:30,320
Yes, sir.

370
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,160
That's powerful.

371
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,620
I definitely hope to have the same experience.

372
00:14:34,620 --> 00:14:37,460
So let's dive into business a bit further

373
00:14:37,460 --> 00:14:39,060
and deep into the darkness of business.

374
00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:43,940
So what is your worst business experience ever, Sean?

375
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,120
Well, that's hard hitting because there's been several,

376
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,280
but I would say that it was losing my first gym.

377
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,220
And that was because the economy hit of 2008.

378
00:14:54,220 --> 00:14:57,220
It was a personal training facility and I lost everything.

379
00:14:58,060 --> 00:15:00,180
I lost, I mean, I lost everything.

380
00:15:00,180 --> 00:15:01,260
I lost my apartment.

381
00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:06,260
I went through a divorce, no money, no credit, no anything.

382
00:15:07,420 --> 00:15:10,580
Now, even though it was dire straits and I just,

383
00:15:11,580 --> 00:15:14,360
it was a really rough time in my life.

384
00:15:15,780 --> 00:15:17,740
It was also the best thing that happened to me

385
00:15:17,740 --> 00:15:20,980
because I was able to bootstrap myself

386
00:15:20,980 --> 00:15:23,820
with a bootcamp and starting all over with no money,

387
00:15:23,820 --> 00:15:26,540
no credit, just being resourceful

388
00:15:26,540 --> 00:15:28,900
because I didn't have any resources.

389
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:31,460
And I hired a mentor, I hired a coach

390
00:15:31,460 --> 00:15:35,200
who's a dynamo in the fitness industry today.

391
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,000
Alex Hermosy?

392
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,420
So he was my second coach.

393
00:15:39,420 --> 00:15:41,220
Cool, okay, go back to the first.

394
00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:42,900
Alex Hermosy was my second coach,

395
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,720
but at this time, this was back in 2010.

396
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,500
Alex was starting his own gyms

397
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:50,620
probably around the same time I was at this point.

398
00:15:50,620 --> 00:15:51,460
What are you gonna say?

399
00:15:51,460 --> 00:15:54,660
He was still, he still had the backpack on in high school.

400
00:15:54,660 --> 00:15:56,460
Yeah, right?

401
00:15:56,460 --> 00:15:59,980
Yes, but Bajros Kulian, I'll give a shout out to him.

402
00:15:59,980 --> 00:16:01,340
Who was that, who?

403
00:16:01,340 --> 00:16:04,380
It was Bajros Kulian with FitBody Bootcamp.

404
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:06,020
So you can look up FitBody Bootcamp

405
00:16:06,020 --> 00:16:08,560
and you'll come across some of his material.

406
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,860
But he was, it was in a franchise

407
00:16:10,860 --> 00:16:12,340
because I was done with the franchise,

408
00:16:12,340 --> 00:16:13,620
but it was a license agreement.

409
00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:15,740
Hey, we'll teach you how to start a bootcamp.

410
00:16:15,740 --> 00:16:16,840
That's where the model is going.

411
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,580
So I said, okay, let's go.

412
00:16:18,580 --> 00:16:20,860
Here's my last, I don't know, 1500 bucks

413
00:16:20,860 --> 00:16:22,700
or whatever it was at the time.

414
00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:24,900
And just went all in.

415
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:28,140
And yeah, that, you know, that worst,

416
00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:29,460
that worst time of my life

417
00:16:29,460 --> 00:16:31,380
ended up being the best thing for me.

418
00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:35,580
However, I, what brought me down kind of the depression road

419
00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:38,940
was I never let go of that experience.

420
00:16:38,940 --> 00:16:41,200
Because I lost that first gym,

421
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,780
I was in a place of, I have to outwork them all.

422
00:16:44,780 --> 00:16:46,340
I have to put my head down and do work.

423
00:16:46,340 --> 00:16:47,580
I have to chase this success.

424
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:50,380
I will never let this happen again.

425
00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:53,460
And so my complete shift for business

426
00:16:53,460 --> 00:16:55,780
turned from serving people to serving myself.

427
00:16:55,780 --> 00:16:57,920
That's really when the shift happened.

428
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Because now it was about, I have to protect mine.

429
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:00,780
I have to get mine.

430
00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:01,780
I have to store mine.

431
00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:03,300
Like it's all about me

432
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:07,100
and I'll never go through these dire straits again.

433
00:17:07,100 --> 00:17:10,180
And so I still love the fitness industry.

434
00:17:10,180 --> 00:17:11,460
I still love serving the clients.

435
00:17:11,460 --> 00:17:12,420
I still love my job.

436
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:14,540
I still love that, you know, had a compassion for them.

437
00:17:14,540 --> 00:17:18,560
But every time things got hard,

438
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,460
I would just, it would just take a little part of me again

439
00:17:21,460 --> 00:17:22,300
and it would just eat me

440
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:23,660
and it would just take another part of me.

441
00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:26,420
And at that time, it was all on me.

442
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:29,900
And, you know, I wasn't walking in faith at this part.

443
00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:31,740
I was not worshiping God at this point.

444
00:17:31,740 --> 00:17:34,420
I was not putting God first in any part of my life.

445
00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:35,540
I was putting alcohol first.

446
00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:36,660
I was putting party in first.

447
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:39,180
I was putting, you know, all the addictions

448
00:17:39,180 --> 00:17:41,900
that were numbing my pain in a way.

449
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:43,580
So it was like, I work hard during the week

450
00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:45,700
and I'd be like weekend vendors, right?

451
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:48,340
And just kind of, I don't know,

452
00:17:48,340 --> 00:17:51,060
just kind of grinding through the next week.

453
00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:54,980
But so I was really in this struggling place.

454
00:17:54,980 --> 00:17:56,180
So like I was getting ahead

455
00:17:56,180 --> 00:17:58,620
and then just kind of slipping back a little bit.

456
00:17:58,620 --> 00:18:01,340
And I didn't realize it at the time,

457
00:18:01,340 --> 00:18:02,840
but when I was looking back, I was like,

458
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,580
well, I was really self-serving.

459
00:18:04,580 --> 00:18:08,540
Like I was, you know, the high highs were the highs, man.

460
00:18:08,540 --> 00:18:10,900
I mean, I was living on top of the world

461
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:12,740
and I would celebrate the successes,

462
00:18:12,740 --> 00:18:13,900
but it was all about me.

463
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:14,740
Look at what I'm doing.

464
00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:16,420
Look at the success.

465
00:18:16,420 --> 00:18:17,380
Look what I'm doing over here.

466
00:18:17,380 --> 00:18:18,740
Look what I'm doing over there.

467
00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:22,540
And when things started, when things would hit

468
00:18:22,540 --> 00:18:26,580
and, you know, I would be getting backed up against the wall

469
00:18:26,580 --> 00:18:28,420
and everybody would be looking at me.

470
00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:29,780
Well, I had nowhere to run.

471
00:18:29,780 --> 00:18:30,820
I had nowhere to turn

472
00:18:30,820 --> 00:18:32,940
because I had made my business all about me.

473
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:34,900
I had made my success all about me.

474
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:36,820
So when times got tough, you know,

475
00:18:36,820 --> 00:18:38,380
everybody's looking for me for the answers.

476
00:18:38,380 --> 00:18:40,200
And when I didn't have an answer,

477
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,900
well, now I'm letting people down.

478
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:45,580
And now I'm feeling that imposter syndrome, right?

479
00:18:45,580 --> 00:18:47,060
And now I'm feeling all the,

480
00:18:47,940 --> 00:18:49,980
just like my world was just closing in

481
00:18:49,980 --> 00:18:52,740
and had a choke hold on me, if you will.

482
00:18:52,740 --> 00:18:56,140
And so that's when devices were just kicking even harder.

483
00:18:56,140 --> 00:18:57,740
Just, I'm gonna just escape this.

484
00:18:57,740 --> 00:19:01,800
And, but it was, so that road continued, man,

485
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,800
from 2010 all the way to 2017, January 2017.

486
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:09,220
I just looked in a mirror and I said,

487
00:19:09,220 --> 00:19:11,500
am I really gonna do another year like this?

488
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:13,660
And I made the decision, no.

489
00:19:13,660 --> 00:19:16,620
And that's when I tried to end it all.

490
00:19:16,620 --> 00:19:17,460
And,

491
00:19:19,260 --> 00:19:21,060
fortunately I was not successful.

492
00:19:21,060 --> 00:19:23,620
I ended up in handcuffs at night.

493
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:25,620
And it was a Friday night.

494
00:19:25,620 --> 00:19:29,660
And the arresting officer told me, he said,

495
00:19:29,660 --> 00:19:31,540
well, you have two choices.

496
00:19:31,540 --> 00:19:34,020
You can check yourself into the hospital

497
00:19:34,020 --> 00:19:35,900
or we could take you to jail.

498
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:37,820
You'll face the judge on Monday

499
00:19:37,820 --> 00:19:39,980
and he's gonna send you to the hospital anyway.

500
00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:41,500
So what is it gonna be?

501
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:44,500
And dude, I had such an ego back then.

502
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:46,740
I was like, well, just take me to the hospital, man.

503
00:19:46,740 --> 00:19:47,640
I'm good.

504
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,500
Like I had not even connected the fact

505
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:54,060
that I just tried to take my life.

506
00:19:54,060 --> 00:19:56,540
And here I was just pumped up, full of pride,

507
00:19:56,540 --> 00:19:59,220
full of ego, all that stuff all over again,

508
00:19:59,220 --> 00:20:02,220
just the exact same person that I've been living

509
00:20:02,220 --> 00:20:05,660
for darn near a decade now.

510
00:20:05,660 --> 00:20:07,540
And so he takes me there

511
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:10,780
and I get checked into the hospital.

512
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:12,100
And of course they're getting me sober

513
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:13,180
because I was drunk that night.

514
00:20:13,180 --> 00:20:14,580
And they're sobering me up.

515
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:17,140
They're putting all the IVs and all that stuff in me.

516
00:20:17,140 --> 00:20:18,740
And then Monday morning rolls around

517
00:20:18,740 --> 00:20:22,300
and that was my first time in front of a therapist.

518
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:24,860
And I'm like, hey, can I go now?

519
00:20:24,860 --> 00:20:25,700
Like I'm just telling them,

520
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:27,540
hey, I gotta get back to work, this and that.

521
00:20:27,540 --> 00:20:29,420
They're like, no, you need a timeout.

522
00:20:30,580 --> 00:20:31,980
And I didn't know it at the time, Jack,

523
00:20:31,980 --> 00:20:33,300
because I've never been in a hospital

524
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:34,300
for a situation like this,

525
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:36,740
but they knew what they were doing.

526
00:20:36,740 --> 00:20:39,100
And so they are forcing me to take a timeout.

527
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:41,060
Like they were forcing me to rest.

528
00:20:41,060 --> 00:20:42,180
And I kid you not,

529
00:20:42,180 --> 00:20:45,420
so I don't even know if I have it in here.

530
00:20:45,420 --> 00:20:49,100
I have a notebook that I had in the hospital.

531
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,220
I usually keep it here in my drawer,

532
00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:53,540
but I wrote down this verse in a notebook.

533
00:20:53,540 --> 00:20:56,660
They gave me a notebook and they gave me a pencil.

534
00:20:56,660 --> 00:20:58,460
And I wrote down the verse,

535
00:20:58,460 --> 00:21:02,500
come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest.

536
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:07,500
And this, okay, and I didn't know

537
00:21:08,140 --> 00:21:10,180
that I didn't know where that came from.

538
00:21:10,180 --> 00:21:11,660
I didn't know what the,

539
00:21:11,660 --> 00:21:13,020
I knew that was a Bible scripture.

540
00:21:13,020 --> 00:21:14,180
That's all I knew.

541
00:21:14,180 --> 00:21:15,380
I couldn't reference it to you.

542
00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:18,020
I couldn't tell you who said it.

543
00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:21,700
Okay, these are the words that Jesus Christ said.

544
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:23,700
But I wrote that verse down.

545
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:26,340
And so now I'm just kind of replaying that verse

546
00:21:26,340 --> 00:21:28,420
over and over and over in my head.

547
00:21:28,420 --> 00:21:31,100
And things weren't really clicking in the hospital.

548
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:34,460
Like I was just trying to get out of there, right?

549
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:35,380
I'm just trying to get out.

550
00:21:35,380 --> 00:21:37,460
Like help me to get out of here by Friday

551
00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:38,500
was my whole thing.

552
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:44,700
And I did, I spent a weekend there.

553
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:47,980
They enabled me to rest, enabled me to decompress,

554
00:21:47,980 --> 00:21:50,420
enabled me to take a lot of stress off.

555
00:21:50,420 --> 00:21:52,860
I had some amazing coaches in the gym

556
00:21:52,860 --> 00:21:55,060
that were running the gym while I was out.

557
00:21:55,060 --> 00:21:57,940
I only confided in one of them,

558
00:21:57,940 --> 00:21:59,660
what was actually going on.

559
00:21:59,660 --> 00:22:01,620
And he was a strong man of God.

560
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:03,020
And so he was praying over me.

561
00:22:03,020 --> 00:22:04,420
And of course, when I get out of hospital,

562
00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:06,260
he's gonna need certain scripture books

563
00:22:06,260 --> 00:22:07,700
and this and that.

564
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:10,060
And that's really when my journey

565
00:22:10,060 --> 00:22:12,580
just back towards health began.

566
00:22:12,580 --> 00:22:14,300
And I'm talking about mental health.

567
00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:19,220
And so I had this scripture written down,

568
00:22:19,220 --> 00:22:22,100
but I'm not back in my Bible yet.

569
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:26,740
Like it took another two years, two, three years

570
00:22:26,740 --> 00:22:28,420
for me to get back into the Bible.

571
00:22:28,420 --> 00:22:31,220
So I was doing all the spiritual enlightenment stuff.

572
00:22:31,220 --> 00:22:32,500
I was doing all the coaching.

573
00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:35,060
I was doing all the affirmations

574
00:22:35,060 --> 00:22:36,700
and the reframing of the mind.

575
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:39,100
And like, I guess the Tony Robbins workshops,

576
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:40,620
stuff like that.

577
00:22:40,620 --> 00:22:43,300
Cause I gotta find my purpose.

578
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:44,540
I gotta find my drive again.

579
00:22:44,540 --> 00:22:47,140
I gotta find me again is what I kept telling myself.

580
00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:49,140
I gotta find me, I gotta find me.

581
00:22:49,140 --> 00:22:50,060
I gotta find my purpose.

582
00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:51,300
I gotta find my happiness.

583
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:52,380
I gotta find my joy.

584
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:54,540
And-

585
00:22:54,540 --> 00:22:55,380
Me, me, me, I hear it.

586
00:22:55,380 --> 00:22:57,340
And still just me, me, me, right?

587
00:22:57,340 --> 00:22:59,460
And we don't get that.

588
00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:01,860
But I would get this close, right Jackson?

589
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:02,780
I'll get this close.

590
00:23:02,780 --> 00:23:04,380
And then something would happen in my life.

591
00:23:04,380 --> 00:23:06,140
And I would just be like, why am I struggling?

592
00:23:06,140 --> 00:23:08,980
I'm yelling at Gus and I'm cursing out God.

593
00:23:08,980 --> 00:23:11,060
And why would you put me in this position

594
00:23:11,060 --> 00:23:12,420
and this and that?

595
00:23:12,420 --> 00:23:14,140
Well, I hired a business coach.

596
00:23:14,140 --> 00:23:15,180
This was after Alex.

597
00:23:15,180 --> 00:23:18,140
So Alex fits in in like around 2018, 2019.

598
00:23:18,140 --> 00:23:21,460
So fast forward to like 2020.

599
00:23:21,460 --> 00:23:22,460
Nice, I gotta ask.

600
00:23:22,460 --> 00:23:23,700
Good experience?

601
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:24,540
Yes.

602
00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:27,060
With Alex, he broke my gym.

603
00:23:27,060 --> 00:23:28,860
So that's a fun story.

604
00:23:28,860 --> 00:23:29,980
Let's dive into that.

605
00:23:29,980 --> 00:23:33,340
We can't go all used over that.

606
00:23:33,340 --> 00:23:37,620
So I had this downturn in 2017 because of the hospital

607
00:23:37,620 --> 00:23:39,620
and I'm trying to get myself back together.

608
00:23:39,620 --> 00:23:41,220
I'm like, okay.

609
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:43,260
I'm trying to, I'm focused so much on me.

610
00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:46,300
Like I'm letting business kind of slip, right?

611
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:48,100
And so I'm like, okay, we gotta do something.

612
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:49,180
We gotta get this back up.

613
00:23:49,180 --> 00:23:50,140
Like we're losing numbers.

614
00:23:50,140 --> 00:23:52,220
We're losing money, that kind of thing.

615
00:23:52,220 --> 00:23:53,060
Like we're bleeding out.

616
00:23:53,060 --> 00:23:55,740
And so Alex launches GymLaunch.

617
00:23:55,740 --> 00:23:57,700
And so I'm like, okay, like let's go.

618
00:23:57,700 --> 00:23:59,860
Like he's making all these big promises.

619
00:23:59,860 --> 00:24:00,780
Let's do it.

620
00:24:00,780 --> 00:24:03,900
So I hired Alex and dude, he delivered.

621
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,820
And he delivered big, okay.

622
00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:11,780
Now the problem with Alex and the way that he delivered

623
00:24:11,780 --> 00:24:13,660
was he broke my gym.

624
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:15,700
We didn't have the structure.

625
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:17,500
We didn't have the structure and systems in place

626
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:20,620
to handle all the new clients that were coming in.

627
00:24:20,620 --> 00:24:25,220
And so we have this influx of new people coming in

628
00:24:25,220 --> 00:24:27,740
and I'm trying to keep up with text messages, phone calls,

629
00:24:27,740 --> 00:24:30,300
you know, the emails, like the whole nine, right?

630
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:33,580
And meanwhile, my current clients are getting pissed off

631
00:24:33,580 --> 00:24:35,140
because you're like, what is going on here?

632
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,540
Like, what are all these new members are?

633
00:24:36,540 --> 00:24:38,180
Why did they get this special deal?

634
00:24:38,180 --> 00:24:39,540
And you know, yada, yada, yada.

635
00:24:39,540 --> 00:24:42,340
So I'm making my current clients mad.

636
00:24:42,340 --> 00:24:44,260
The ones who are falling through the cracks

637
00:24:44,260 --> 00:24:46,260
because I'm not keeping up with the messages,

638
00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:48,100
you know, they're getting mad at me.

639
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:50,620
I'm getting called scam artists and things like that as well.

640
00:24:50,620 --> 00:24:53,380
So I'm getting bad reviews on like Google and Facebook

641
00:24:53,380 --> 00:24:54,660
and things like that.

642
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:58,060
And I'm just like, whoa, like, okay, like, okay, Alex,

643
00:24:58,060 --> 00:24:59,660
your systems work or, you know,

644
00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:01,020
you've got me all the new leads,

645
00:25:01,020 --> 00:25:03,100
but we just, we weren't ready for it.

646
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:04,300
And one of my coaches, by the way,

647
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:05,980
just walked off the floor and they're like,

648
00:25:05,980 --> 00:25:09,340
I can't do this and just quit, you know, on that same day.

649
00:25:09,340 --> 00:25:10,900
So I'm just like, what in the world?

650
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:14,100
Like, you know, you feel kind of like you're there.

651
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:14,940
We get that.

652
00:25:14,940 --> 00:25:16,260
I get that.

653
00:25:16,260 --> 00:25:18,540
When I was at Video Power Marketing,

654
00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:22,180
that was one of Jake's biggest worries when I got there

655
00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:24,180
was making sure that the clients who came in

656
00:25:24,180 --> 00:25:25,740
were scalable.

657
00:25:25,740 --> 00:25:27,420
And he did a good job of bringing on,

658
00:25:27,420 --> 00:25:29,420
he did an excellent job of bringing on great clients.

659
00:25:29,420 --> 00:25:32,260
I mean, he had clients like Vivint and Nordic Tracks.

660
00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:33,980
So there wasn't really much of a chance

661
00:25:33,980 --> 00:25:36,660
that they wouldn't be Yahoo was working with him.

662
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:38,260
Corel Draw, which competes with Adobe.

663
00:25:38,260 --> 00:25:40,220
So like he had some great clients,

664
00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:43,860
but I started taking these strategy session calls with him

665
00:25:43,860 --> 00:25:47,500
and then for him because I had the business acumen to know

666
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:49,660
like, is this going to be a great case study or not?

667
00:25:49,660 --> 00:25:50,980
Are these people ready?

668
00:25:50,980 --> 00:25:52,580
And so I'd come in and refine them.

669
00:25:52,580 --> 00:25:54,740
And I remember telling Dr. Eric Bird, for instance,

670
00:25:54,740 --> 00:25:56,460
like, you know, I had to have,

671
00:25:56,460 --> 00:25:58,060
I'll shorten the conversation, this is about you,

672
00:25:58,060 --> 00:25:59,820
but his side was awful.

673
00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:00,780
It was terrible.

674
00:26:00,780 --> 00:26:02,180
Like, and I had to tell him and I was worried

675
00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:03,500
I was going to get fired.

676
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:04,900
But here I come in and tell him,

677
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:06,260
and he takes it like a humble champ.

678
00:26:06,260 --> 00:26:07,460
And he's like, I'll fix all that.

679
00:26:07,460 --> 00:26:09,620
Three days later, it comes back with everything fixed

680
00:26:09,620 --> 00:26:10,980
and that we saw.

681
00:26:10,980 --> 00:26:13,140
He still have more to do as a business owner,

682
00:26:13,140 --> 00:26:16,940
but we knew the ads were going to fall flat

683
00:26:16,940 --> 00:26:18,980
if he didn't fix that portion of the infrastructure.

684
00:26:18,980 --> 00:26:21,780
But what continued to worry me about all the clients

685
00:26:21,780 --> 00:26:25,580
was are they building the fulfillment infrastructure

686
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:28,140
and operational infrastructure to sustain

687
00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:29,500
all the leads you're bringing as well?

688
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:33,260
Because if they're not, we are breaking the gym,

689
00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:34,220
as you said.

690
00:26:34,220 --> 00:26:38,020
So that's really neat though, that it worked that well.

691
00:26:38,020 --> 00:26:39,940
And at least got to open your eyes that,

692
00:26:39,940 --> 00:26:41,380
okay, there's more to this business thing

693
00:26:41,380 --> 00:26:43,900
than just attracting valuable attention.

694
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:44,740
Oh, 100%.

695
00:26:44,740 --> 00:26:47,300
And this is, you know, software today is so much better

696
00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:48,860
than what it was, you know, back then,

697
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:50,540
just a couple of years ago, right?

698
00:26:50,540 --> 00:26:52,620
So I mean, we're duct taping all these,

699
00:26:52,620 --> 00:26:55,420
like the click funnels to Zapier to, you know,

700
00:26:55,420 --> 00:26:57,820
the spreadsheets, you know, all that stuff, right?

701
00:26:57,820 --> 00:26:59,460
Like everything is under one roof now

702
00:26:59,460 --> 00:27:01,460
with some of these software programs.

703
00:27:01,460 --> 00:27:02,540
True.

704
00:27:02,540 --> 00:27:05,180
So yeah, it was just like, you know,

705
00:27:05,180 --> 00:27:08,500
if something went down, then your whole pipeline broke

706
00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:09,340
and things like that.

707
00:27:09,340 --> 00:27:10,740
So it was just a mess.

708
00:27:10,740 --> 00:27:12,580
It was.

709
00:27:12,580 --> 00:27:16,700
But, you know, none of it was Alex's fault

710
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:18,380
or his team's fault, like they delivered,

711
00:27:18,380 --> 00:27:19,540
and they delivered great.

712
00:27:19,540 --> 00:27:23,060
And if anybody wants to, wants a testimonial for them,

713
00:27:23,060 --> 00:27:25,700
I say, if you are Jim, you're thinking of Jim Lodge,

714
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:26,540
do it, just go.

715
00:27:26,540 --> 00:27:28,260
Don't think about it, right?

716
00:27:28,260 --> 00:27:29,740
So they know their stuff.

717
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:31,540
They know what they're doing.

718
00:27:31,540 --> 00:27:33,740
But yeah, so I went through this part now

719
00:27:33,740 --> 00:27:35,380
where we're just ultra successful

720
00:27:35,380 --> 00:27:36,900
and I'm feeling much better, you know,

721
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:38,860
I'm feeling healthier, I'm feeling mentally inclined

722
00:27:38,860 --> 00:27:41,180
and things like that because I've been working on myself,

723
00:27:41,180 --> 00:27:43,460
but there was still just a missing piece.

724
00:27:43,460 --> 00:27:46,020
Like I still wasn't feeling fulfilled,

725
00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:47,620
which was really interesting, right?

726
00:27:47,620 --> 00:27:49,140
Like I have all the successes so far.

727
00:27:49,140 --> 00:27:51,260
From the outside looking in, like people are like,

728
00:27:51,260 --> 00:27:52,740
wow, you've got it all together, right?

729
00:27:52,740 --> 00:27:54,780
Like you got a successful gym, you're looking good,

730
00:27:54,780 --> 00:27:57,300
like you're much happier now, this and that,

731
00:27:57,300 --> 00:27:59,860
but something was still in my heart where it was just like,

732
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:02,780
no, something's still missing and I don't get it.

733
00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:04,900
So I hired a coach.

734
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,860
And this is where I'm gonna shift you real quick

735
00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:10,780
for the sake of the structure a little bit,

736
00:28:10,780 --> 00:28:12,460
but it's gonna go right into your segment,

737
00:28:12,460 --> 00:28:14,300
which is what powerful lesson

738
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,820
and other visionaries learn from your experience.

739
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:18,540
And let's just go right into the story

740
00:28:18,540 --> 00:28:20,140
because I can tell you got a coach

741
00:28:20,140 --> 00:28:21,500
that gave you some powerful lesson

742
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:23,260
that helped open your perspective and mind

743
00:28:23,260 --> 00:28:24,300
of where you need to go.

744
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:25,700
So let's hear it.

745
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:27,540
Yeah, this is the powerful lesson I learned.

746
00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:30,300
And so this coach, and he didn't even know,

747
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:32,340
I don't think he knew what he was really asking me

748
00:28:32,340 --> 00:28:33,820
when he asked me it,

749
00:28:33,820 --> 00:28:36,300
or how much of an impact it was gonna have on my life

750
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:37,540
when he asked it.

751
00:28:37,540 --> 00:28:39,300
But he said, do you really think

752
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:41,220
that God wants what's best for you?

753
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:44,660
And I gave him just the most generic biblical answer.

754
00:28:44,660 --> 00:28:46,340
Of course, God wants what's best for me.

755
00:28:46,340 --> 00:28:48,460
He's all loving, he's all powerful.

756
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:50,620
He's a God of blessings, he's a God of abundance,

757
00:28:50,620 --> 00:28:51,460
he's a God of mercy.

758
00:28:51,460 --> 00:28:53,580
Of course he wants what's best for me.

759
00:28:53,580 --> 00:28:55,700
And so he's like, okay, great.

760
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:59,900
Like let's continue focusing on working your business

761
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:00,740
and things of that nature,

762
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:01,980
like going down that path, right?

763
00:29:01,980 --> 00:29:04,140
Like just he was trying to work on my mindset

764
00:29:04,140 --> 00:29:07,100
and my faith that God wants what's best for me

765
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:09,460
so I'm on the right road, right?

766
00:29:09,460 --> 00:29:11,060
But I still continue to struggle.

767
00:29:11,060 --> 00:29:12,020
I still continue to struggle

768
00:29:12,020 --> 00:29:13,940
with some various different things in my life,

769
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:16,140
specifically to fulfillment.

770
00:29:16,140 --> 00:29:19,860
And I realized, so 2020 rolls around now

771
00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:22,300
and now we're ordered to shut the gym down.

772
00:29:22,300 --> 00:29:24,140
And so I had this little sabbatical

773
00:29:24,140 --> 00:29:25,380
and I was like, you know what?

774
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:28,100
I'm just gonna open up my Bible and start reading it.

775
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:29,820
And so that's what I did.

776
00:29:29,820 --> 00:29:33,380
2020 was the blessing in disguise for me and my gym

777
00:29:33,380 --> 00:29:38,140
and my whole walk back to faith.

778
00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:40,900
But that one question was always in the back of my mind.

779
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:43,460
Like, what does God really want what's best for me?

780
00:29:43,460 --> 00:29:45,580
And I'm looking for that in the Bible, by the way.

781
00:29:45,580 --> 00:29:48,020
I'm looking for that answer in a Bible.

782
00:29:48,020 --> 00:29:49,860
And then all of a sudden it hits me.

783
00:29:49,860 --> 00:29:52,140
It was like as loud as thunder in my head.

784
00:29:52,140 --> 00:29:55,780
It said, you're asking the wrong question.

785
00:29:55,780 --> 00:29:58,020
And I'm like, I'm asking the wrong question.

786
00:29:58,020 --> 00:29:59,300
What does that mean?

787
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:03,740
And I was like, okay, what is God's idea

788
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:05,340
of what's best for me?

789
00:30:05,340 --> 00:30:08,820
See all along I was chasing my idea

790
00:30:08,820 --> 00:30:11,820
of what I thought God's idea was what was best for me.

791
00:30:11,820 --> 00:30:14,140
So finally I just stopped and I said, okay, God,

792
00:30:14,140 --> 00:30:19,060
what is your idea of what's best for me?

793
00:30:19,060 --> 00:30:20,500
And when I started putting that in

794
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:23,100
and I started reading scripture with that perspective,

795
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:24,620
everything changed.

796
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:26,100
Absolutely everything changed.

797
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,220
And that's when I really started seeing

798
00:30:29,220 --> 00:30:31,900
all my sins of the past.

799
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:34,220
All the anger that I was carrying,

800
00:30:34,220 --> 00:30:37,900
the attitude I was carrying, the pride that I was carrying,

801
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:41,100
the ego that I was carrying, the selfishness I was carrying.

802
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:44,100
I never realized I was carrying any of that weight before,

803
00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:46,060
even through all the other stuff.

804
00:30:46,060 --> 00:30:47,540
And I was like, whew,

805
00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:49,980
well now my heart is being searched here.

806
00:30:49,980 --> 00:30:52,980
And so I started letting that stuff go.

807
00:30:52,980 --> 00:30:55,740
And my mantra at that time became let go, let God.

808
00:30:55,740 --> 00:30:58,220
Like, all right, I'm just gonna start letting this stuff go.

809
00:30:58,220 --> 00:31:01,580
Like if you're telling me to let this stuff go

810
00:31:01,580 --> 00:31:04,620
and you're gonna fulfill on your promises,

811
00:31:04,620 --> 00:31:08,300
then I'm gonna kind of challenge you on this, right?

812
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:09,740
And so that's what I started doing.

813
00:31:09,740 --> 00:31:11,900
And what I started reading the Bible for

814
00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:13,820
was just, I wasn't really seeking answers,

815
00:31:13,820 --> 00:31:16,980
although I was, but I was seeking answers

816
00:31:16,980 --> 00:31:19,540
by looking for things to do

817
00:31:19,540 --> 00:31:22,020
and looking for things not to do.

818
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,860
If the Bible said, do this, I started doing it.

819
00:31:24,860 --> 00:31:26,620
If the Bible says, stay away from that,

820
00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:28,740
then I started staying away from it.

821
00:31:28,740 --> 00:31:30,300
And let me tell you,

822
00:31:31,220 --> 00:31:33,500
because I started making that shift

823
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:34,900
and because I started reframing

824
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:37,500
from the biblical standpoint of God,

825
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:38,820
God doesn't break any promises.

826
00:31:38,820 --> 00:31:40,780
Like the God I serve is the same yesterday

827
00:31:40,780 --> 00:31:42,660
as he is today as he always will be.

828
00:31:42,660 --> 00:31:46,860
So when I talk about Bible business practices,

829
00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:49,500
like a lot of Christians will claim they know Jesus Christ,

830
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:51,260
they know he's the son of God.

831
00:31:51,260 --> 00:31:52,900
He died on a cross three days later,

832
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:54,940
he came up and forgave his first sins.

833
00:31:54,940 --> 00:31:56,500
Like they will buy into that story

834
00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:58,380
and they will claim that to be the absolute truth.

835
00:31:58,380 --> 00:32:00,860
However, when you see a Bible passage that says,

836
00:32:03,420 --> 00:32:04,820
don't forget the Lord thy God

837
00:32:04,820 --> 00:32:07,500
who gives you the ability to produce wealth,

838
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:09,500
but they think, oh no, that's prosperity gospel.

839
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:11,020
You can't quote that scripture,

840
00:32:11,020 --> 00:32:13,940
although it's written right there in Deuteronomy 8.18.

841
00:32:13,940 --> 00:32:15,380
And so I'm like, no,

842
00:32:15,380 --> 00:32:16,740
if you're gonna accept that Jesus Christ

843
00:32:16,740 --> 00:32:17,900
is your Lord and savior is the truth,

844
00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:20,300
then you need to accept that every word written in this Bible,

845
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:24,340
black and white and sometimes red is the absolute truth.

846
00:32:24,340 --> 00:32:25,180
This is the truth.

847
00:32:25,180 --> 00:32:26,020
This is what's written.

848
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:27,580
These are God's promises.

849
00:32:27,580 --> 00:32:29,860
And so I just started taking that as,

850
00:32:29,860 --> 00:32:31,940
this is God's written word.

851
00:32:31,940 --> 00:32:35,100
If he says it's so, then I'm going to,

852
00:32:35,940 --> 00:32:38,140
then I'm gonna cling onto it.

853
00:32:38,140 --> 00:32:40,220
And it's changed everything for me.

854
00:32:40,220 --> 00:32:41,580
It's changed my perspective.

855
00:32:41,580 --> 00:32:42,780
It's changed my outlook.

856
00:32:42,780 --> 00:32:44,500
It has changed the way I do things.

857
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:47,100
It's changed the way that I feel about myself

858
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:48,700
and my calling.

859
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:51,500
No longer is it all about me anymore.

860
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:53,220
It's all about who.

861
00:32:53,220 --> 00:32:56,100
It's all about who I am because of whose I am

862
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:57,420
and my assignment to serve.

863
00:32:57,420 --> 00:32:59,460
Who are the people that I'm here to serve?

864
00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:02,740
And I don't know if you have another question,

865
00:33:02,740 --> 00:33:04,540
but I do have a work to do.

866
00:33:04,540 --> 00:33:07,060
I'll share with you a very powerful story

867
00:33:07,060 --> 00:33:09,780
or a testimonial here in a second.

868
00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:12,940
But I just want to kind of rest there.

869
00:33:12,940 --> 00:33:14,100
It's a good idea.

870
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:15,540
Before you do, Sean,

871
00:33:15,540 --> 00:33:16,940
you covered quite a lot of ground there.

872
00:33:16,940 --> 00:33:20,020
So one of the, you had a pinnacle experience

873
00:33:20,020 --> 00:33:22,580
that I'd love for you to repeat in just a few words.

874
00:33:22,580 --> 00:33:24,740
And that was a shift that you made

875
00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:26,620
in the way that you were praying.

876
00:33:26,620 --> 00:33:29,700
You shifted from the abilities,

877
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:32,620
from praying about what does he want you to do

878
00:33:32,620 --> 00:33:34,420
to what one more time?

879
00:33:34,420 --> 00:33:38,140
Yeah, it was more about, instead of praying like,

880
00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:42,140
God, what is it, does God want what's best for me?

881
00:33:42,140 --> 00:33:45,060
Well, what is your idea of what's best for me?

882
00:33:45,060 --> 00:33:45,900
That was the shift.

883
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:47,140
You're looking for his will.

884
00:33:47,140 --> 00:33:48,500
I was looking for his will.

885
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:51,420
And there are two prayers in the Bible, by the way.

886
00:33:51,420 --> 00:33:54,060
There are two prayers that you can find these.

887
00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:56,900
One is referenced as the Lord's Prayer,

888
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:58,260
like a lot of people know.

889
00:33:58,260 --> 00:33:59,500
What does it say right there?

890
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:02,500
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.

891
00:34:03,340 --> 00:34:04,460
It's right in there.

892
00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:07,060
And then King Solomon understood this as well

893
00:34:07,060 --> 00:34:11,540
when he prayed, they said, you have given your servant

894
00:34:11,540 --> 00:34:13,740
a vast assignment, far too many people

895
00:34:13,740 --> 00:34:15,140
to rule over the kingdom.

896
00:34:15,140 --> 00:34:16,500
I don't know how to do this.

897
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:20,020
So give your servant a discerning heart.

898
00:34:20,020 --> 00:34:22,700
Give them the wisdom to lead the kingdom.

899
00:34:22,700 --> 00:34:23,620
He didn't ask for wealth.

900
00:34:23,620 --> 00:34:24,580
He didn't ask for glory.

901
00:34:24,580 --> 00:34:25,460
He didn't ask for fame.

902
00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:26,900
He didn't ask for anything of himself.

903
00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:29,540
He didn't even ask for his enemies to be killed,

904
00:34:29,540 --> 00:34:32,300
even though they were in the middle of battles, right?

905
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:33,140
But God-

906
00:34:33,140 --> 00:34:35,180
You might look for an opportunity to do that,

907
00:34:35,180 --> 00:34:40,100
to go into the depths of that a little bit further.

908
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:42,700
But first we're gonna go back to a question

909
00:34:42,700 --> 00:34:45,340
about your best experience in business.

910
00:34:45,340 --> 00:34:48,180
And we'll come back to this if we have time.

911
00:34:48,180 --> 00:34:50,100
But I would love to know what,

912
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:51,660
and the reason why too, Sean,

913
00:34:51,660 --> 00:34:54,020
is because we're gonna have a little bit of time, hopefully,

914
00:34:54,020 --> 00:34:57,620
just to have a little bit of a good, healthy Christian debate.

915
00:34:57,620 --> 00:34:58,460
Okay, sure.

916
00:34:58,460 --> 00:35:01,300
And I think that will help everybody who's listening

917
00:35:02,260 --> 00:35:04,260
and the two of us as well as brothers.

918
00:35:04,260 --> 00:35:09,260
So what's your best experience been in business so far?

919
00:35:09,940 --> 00:35:10,940
There are so many.

920
00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:13,100
I would say it's today.

921
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:16,540
My best business experience is right now today.

922
00:35:16,540 --> 00:35:20,140
God has given me so many blessings right now.

923
00:35:20,140 --> 00:35:24,400
It's not necessarily monetary blessings, but it's the impact.

924
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,100
It's the people that he's brought me into my life.

925
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:29,740
It's having opportunities like this to be on your show.

926
00:35:31,340 --> 00:35:32,660
It's this.

927
00:35:32,660 --> 00:35:34,380
It's really-

928
00:35:34,380 --> 00:35:35,220
Jaime, do me a favor.

929
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:39,220
Pull up Sean's YouTube channel again

930
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:40,860
and just kind of let that feed

931
00:35:40,860 --> 00:35:41,940
while he's talking about this,

932
00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:43,900
because that represents today

933
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:45,980
and some of the things that are going on there.

934
00:35:45,980 --> 00:35:48,580
And you've got right now, let's take a look.

935
00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:50,500
Scroll up a little bit for me.

936
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:52,540
Let's see, website there.

937
00:35:52,540 --> 00:35:53,380
Perfect.

938
00:35:53,380 --> 00:35:55,060
And you got a couple hundred subscribers on there

939
00:35:55,060 --> 00:35:56,260
already as well.

940
00:35:56,260 --> 00:35:58,900
And you got a lot of great thumbnails,

941
00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:00,680
which is you're studying the right things,

942
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,340
you're doing the right things and moving that.

943
00:36:02,340 --> 00:36:04,940
So that momentum is going to continue to build

944
00:36:04,940 --> 00:36:07,300
as you continue to dedicate yourself to it.

945
00:36:07,300 --> 00:36:08,700
But go ahead, Sean, I didn't mean to interrupt you.

946
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:10,540
I just want to make sure that this

947
00:36:10,540 --> 00:36:12,840
might as well get reflected while we're talking.

948
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,680
No, that's great.

949
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,520
That's great.

950
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,480
Thank you for pulling up the YouTube.

951
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,540
I've just really started paying attention to YouTube,

952
00:36:18,540 --> 00:36:20,500
really in the past month.

953
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,940
Now I've had the YouTube channel for a couple of years now,

954
00:36:22,940 --> 00:36:25,060
but it was just kind of like upload a video,

955
00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:27,140
put a thumbnail on it and let it do its thing.

956
00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:31,280
But now I've been more intentional behind it here recently.

957
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,580
But my main drive has been all on Facebook,

958
00:36:34,580 --> 00:36:35,420
believe it or not.

959
00:36:35,420 --> 00:36:40,260
And so with my Facebook profile, here's what happened.

960
00:36:40,260 --> 00:36:44,980
So in 2022, I just knew it was still last year doing the gym.

961
00:36:44,980 --> 00:36:47,100
I still wasn't fulfilled with the gym anymore.

962
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:50,380
Like the gym was a gym, right?

963
00:36:50,380 --> 00:36:53,340
And so we have one year left on the lease.

964
00:36:53,340 --> 00:36:55,620
I'm like, I'm pretty sure this is going to be my last year.

965
00:36:55,620 --> 00:36:58,860
So I just made a decision, this is going to be my last year.

966
00:36:58,860 --> 00:37:02,460
So December of last year, I decided to close the gym.

967
00:37:02,460 --> 00:37:06,660
And I went all in on Facebook and just sharing the word.

968
00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:09,940
And in December of last year, we shut the gym down,

969
00:37:09,940 --> 00:37:11,780
I go all in on Facebook.

970
00:37:11,780 --> 00:37:14,740
And at that time I had 2000 followers.

971
00:37:14,740 --> 00:37:17,300
Now we're talking December of 2022.

972
00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:21,980
Today we're serving over 160,000 people on my Facebook wall.

973
00:37:21,980 --> 00:37:22,780
Wow.

974
00:37:22,780 --> 00:37:25,800
And we're doing live broadcast, we're doing the reels,

975
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:31,660
we're doing all your different posts, right?

976
00:37:31,660 --> 00:37:32,940
But it's just serving God.

977
00:37:32,940 --> 00:37:35,340
And the way that I'm serving God is by serving the people.

978
00:37:35,340 --> 00:37:37,020
And I did King Solomon's Prayer.

979
00:37:37,020 --> 00:37:41,060
I was like, OK, God, we're shutting down the gym.

980
00:37:41,060 --> 00:37:43,260
And now it's time for me to serve you.

981
00:37:43,260 --> 00:37:45,840
So put the people in front of me that you would have me to serve.

982
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,580
And give me the wisdom, give me the courage,

983
00:37:48,580 --> 00:37:51,340
give me the guidance that you would have me go so that I

984
00:37:51,340 --> 00:37:53,540
can serve these men and women that are

985
00:37:53,540 --> 00:37:55,220
going to be put into my life.

986
00:37:55,220 --> 00:37:56,380
And he did that.

987
00:37:56,380 --> 00:37:57,980
He gave me the platform.

988
00:37:57,980 --> 00:37:59,340
And he did it almost overnight.

989
00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:02,100
I mean, in 28 days, we picked up almost, I don't know,

990
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:03,740
half of that following, right?

991
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:05,060
Maybe more.

992
00:38:05,060 --> 00:38:08,220
So it was.

993
00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:12,860
2022 to 2023, 2,000 to what I guess

994
00:38:12,860 --> 00:38:16,540
close to 100,000 to 80,000 people.

995
00:38:16,540 --> 00:38:19,380
Do you mind sharing a little bit about some of the strategies

996
00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:21,840
that you went through to do that?

997
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,100
It was reels.

998
00:38:23,100 --> 00:38:24,060
I did.

999
00:38:24,060 --> 00:38:26,780
I just started doing the reels, the short form content, right?

1000
00:38:26,780 --> 00:38:28,260
The short form video.

1001
00:38:28,260 --> 00:38:30,100
And I shot one video.

1002
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:31,540
It was five.

1003
00:38:31,540 --> 00:38:33,140
This is a funny story.

1004
00:38:33,140 --> 00:38:38,540
It was five business or five business.

1005
00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:39,460
I'm sorry.

1006
00:38:39,460 --> 00:38:42,300
Five Bible verses to help you grow your business.

1007
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:44,240
That was the title of the video.

1008
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,820
And when I'm shooting it, I didn't know this,

1009
00:38:46,820 --> 00:38:48,220
but I was going to sick with COVID.

1010
00:38:48,220 --> 00:38:50,460
So my room is dark.

1011
00:38:50,460 --> 00:38:51,380
I'm very low.

1012
00:38:51,380 --> 00:38:52,420
I'm low tone.

1013
00:38:52,420 --> 00:38:53,900
There's no energy behind the video.

1014
00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:55,380
But whatsoever, whatever.

1015
00:38:55,380 --> 00:38:56,180
I shoot the video.

1016
00:38:56,180 --> 00:38:57,580
I put the phone down.

1017
00:38:57,580 --> 00:38:59,940
I'm like, OK, I did whatever.

1018
00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:02,420
Well, the next day, I'm literally sick.

1019
00:39:02,420 --> 00:39:03,900
I'm sick with COVID.

1020
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:06,500
And it's so bad that I can't even open up my eyes.

1021
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:08,460
The glare from the phone is blinding me

1022
00:39:08,460 --> 00:39:10,780
and giving me a headache.

1023
00:39:10,780 --> 00:39:12,300
So I'm like, oh my gosh.

1024
00:39:12,300 --> 00:39:13,060
So here I am.

1025
00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:14,460
I'm like, I'm having a pity party.

1026
00:39:14,460 --> 00:39:16,700
I'm like, I just shut down my gym.

1027
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:17,980
And I got to do work.

1028
00:39:17,980 --> 00:39:21,460
And I'm trying to do work and blah, blah, blah, blah.

1029
00:39:21,460 --> 00:39:22,820
I'm having this pity party.

1030
00:39:22,820 --> 00:39:25,140
Literally, I know that one video is

1031
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:26,740
going viral in the background.

1032
00:39:26,740 --> 00:39:30,260
And in one day, it picked up 30,000 followers in one day.

1033
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:31,100
Jeez.

1034
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:33,820
And it's five Bible verses.

1035
00:39:33,820 --> 00:39:36,700
And all I did was pick five of my favorite scriptures

1036
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:38,300
and read them straight out of the Bible.

1037
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:39,060
That's all I did.

1038
00:39:39,060 --> 00:39:42,220
There was no fancy.

1039
00:39:42,220 --> 00:39:42,980
That's it.

1040
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:43,740
Wow.

1041
00:39:43,740 --> 00:39:44,900
Legit.

1042
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,460
And so that's why I tell people one video can really

1043
00:39:47,460 --> 00:39:48,460
launch your business.

1044
00:39:48,460 --> 00:39:50,220
It really can.

1045
00:39:50,220 --> 00:39:51,820
And yeah.

1046
00:39:51,820 --> 00:39:56,340
So but any rate, yeah, that's it.

1047
00:39:56,340 --> 00:39:57,580
That's the video right there.

1048
00:39:57,580 --> 00:40:01,180
So well, that's not actually the right one

1049
00:40:01,180 --> 00:40:04,500
because that is the re- I redid it.

1050
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:06,620
I re-posted it.

1051
00:40:06,620 --> 00:40:08,500
So it's further down my wall.

1052
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:10,220
But it's got like, I don't know, 10 million.

1053
00:40:10,220 --> 00:40:11,860
Today, it has 10 million views.

1054
00:40:11,860 --> 00:40:15,340
The original has over 10 million views.

1055
00:40:15,340 --> 00:40:18,140
So that's what launched me.

1056
00:40:18,140 --> 00:40:20,620
And so then it was just reconfirmation.

1057
00:40:20,620 --> 00:40:22,020
I was like, OK, God, I got it.

1058
00:40:22,020 --> 00:40:23,980
Like, this is what I'm here to do.

1059
00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:24,580
Got it.

1060
00:40:24,580 --> 00:40:25,100
I'm in.

1061
00:40:25,100 --> 00:40:26,500
I'm all in now.

1062
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:28,660
And that's what I was able to do.

1063
00:40:28,660 --> 00:40:33,300
And so just again, come from that servant part

1064
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:35,980
and just saying, OK, God, I'm going to submit to your will.

1065
00:40:35,980 --> 00:40:39,460
I'm going to submit to your way.

1066
00:40:39,460 --> 00:40:42,660
Have me just serve the people to the highest capacity

1067
00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:44,500
that you would have me serve them.

1068
00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:45,420
I'm all in.

1069
00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:47,860
And that's what it's been about ever since December

1070
00:40:47,860 --> 00:40:48,940
of last year.

1071
00:40:48,940 --> 00:40:51,900
And because of it, I've had numerous opportunities

1072
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:54,220
to come into other coaching programs

1073
00:40:54,220 --> 00:40:56,020
and teach them how to create these reels.

1074
00:40:56,020 --> 00:40:57,500
Because now my reels are all flashy

1075
00:40:57,500 --> 00:40:59,780
and all the captions and the fun stuff.

1076
00:40:59,780 --> 00:41:01,380
We have a lot of fun with them.

1077
00:41:01,380 --> 00:41:04,260
So I'm teaching other coaching programs how they can do it.

1078
00:41:04,260 --> 00:41:09,220
And I really enjoyed what you said earlier,

1079
00:41:09,220 --> 00:41:12,980
where you said great content is king, which absolutely it is.

1080
00:41:12,980 --> 00:41:14,940
Like, everybody will say content is king.

1081
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:16,620
No, you have to get your messaging right.

1082
00:41:16,620 --> 00:41:19,140
You have to get your communication skills down.

1083
00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:21,060
You got to be able to connect with your audience.

1084
00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:23,340
And one way of doing that is being authentic.

1085
00:41:23,340 --> 00:41:26,580
I think a lot of people try to copy other people.

1086
00:41:26,580 --> 00:41:28,060
Like, something's working for them,

1087
00:41:28,060 --> 00:41:29,220
so I'm just going to copy them.

1088
00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:30,460
And I'll do the exact same thing.

1089
00:41:30,460 --> 00:41:31,580
And then it doesn't work for them.

1090
00:41:31,580 --> 00:41:32,860
And they can't figure out why.

1091
00:41:32,860 --> 00:41:35,180
It's because it's not your assignment.

1092
00:41:35,180 --> 00:41:36,500
We all have our own assignment.

1093
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:40,900
And as somebody that I've come to this realization is that I

1094
00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:42,180
don't have competition.

1095
00:41:42,180 --> 00:41:43,740
And the reason I don't have competition

1096
00:41:43,740 --> 00:41:45,340
is because nobody can be me.

1097
00:41:45,340 --> 00:41:47,060
There's only one me out there.

1098
00:41:47,060 --> 00:41:49,660
It's like, I'm not your competition.

1099
00:41:49,660 --> 00:41:51,500
You're not my competition.

1100
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:52,620
There's only one Jackson.

1101
00:41:52,620 --> 00:41:54,980
And so you were, this is your assignment

1102
00:41:54,980 --> 00:41:57,580
to have these podcasts to bring people like me on here.

1103
00:41:57,580 --> 00:41:58,700
This is your assignment.

1104
00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:00,140
That's why you're so good at it.

1105
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:02,940
That's why you have such a success here.

1106
00:42:02,940 --> 00:42:07,260
And so I think if we can just reshift our mindsets to that,

1107
00:42:07,260 --> 00:42:10,260
that we don't really have, we don't

1108
00:42:10,260 --> 00:42:11,940
need to be in competition with one another,

1109
00:42:11,940 --> 00:42:15,340
but rather if we enter collaboration with one another.

1110
00:42:15,340 --> 00:42:16,980
Now we're helping each other build.

1111
00:42:16,980 --> 00:42:18,340
Now we're helping each other grow.

1112
00:42:18,340 --> 00:42:20,580
Now we're supportive with one another.

1113
00:42:20,580 --> 00:42:23,980
Because like we talked about earlier, business is hard.

1114
00:42:23,980 --> 00:42:25,420
And you don't have to do it alone.

1115
00:42:25,420 --> 00:42:27,580
So collaboration is just a way to go.

1116
00:42:27,580 --> 00:42:29,180
So yeah.

1117
00:42:29,180 --> 00:42:30,020
I agree with that.

1118
00:42:30,020 --> 00:42:33,300
And it's interesting.

1119
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:36,620
The person I compete with is myself.

1120
00:42:36,620 --> 00:42:39,020
And at the same time, a lot of people do that.

1121
00:42:39,020 --> 00:42:41,620
And I would say in an unhealthy fashion.

1122
00:42:41,620 --> 00:42:44,860
But it's just about being my best self each day.

1123
00:42:44,860 --> 00:42:48,140
I learned that from watching LeBron James for years.

1124
00:42:48,140 --> 00:42:51,380
And it finally clicking as I'm running around the track

1125
00:42:51,380 --> 00:42:52,660
and had this thought.

1126
00:42:52,660 --> 00:42:55,900
I was wanting to give up in the last lap because I was tired.

1127
00:42:55,900 --> 00:42:56,860
And nobody's there.

1128
00:42:56,860 --> 00:42:58,380
It was the middle of the night.

1129
00:42:58,380 --> 00:43:00,780
And I realized, I just go into my head,

1130
00:43:00,780 --> 00:43:03,380
what would LeBron James do?

1131
00:43:03,380 --> 00:43:06,500
It's also me, what would Jesus do?

1132
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:08,860
And bam, I was like, he'd hit it.

1133
00:43:08,860 --> 00:43:10,380
He would break his own record.

1134
00:43:10,380 --> 00:43:11,620
And I hit it.

1135
00:43:11,620 --> 00:43:12,820
And I ran to the last lap.

1136
00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:14,540
I ran an extra 25 yards after or so.

1137
00:43:14,540 --> 00:43:21,500
And I was like, oh, that's what it feels like to be LeBron James.

1138
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,700
Dude, that's biblical.

1139
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:25,660
I mean, if you look at it, dude, if you

1140
00:43:25,660 --> 00:43:27,620
look at the great people in the Bible,

1141
00:43:27,620 --> 00:43:29,620
and there's great stories, just talk about Joseph

1142
00:43:29,620 --> 00:43:31,060
real quick, right?

1143
00:43:31,060 --> 00:43:33,380
It took him 17 years to fulfill his dream.

1144
00:43:33,380 --> 00:43:35,420
And his brothers sold him to slavery.

1145
00:43:35,420 --> 00:43:36,860
And then he was thrown into prison.

1146
00:43:36,860 --> 00:43:40,300
But then he became second to Pharaoh.

1147
00:43:40,300 --> 00:43:42,700
But it took him 17 years to go through that.

1148
00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:45,340
Well, why was he able to be put in that position?

1149
00:43:45,340 --> 00:43:47,420
It was because of his character.

1150
00:43:47,420 --> 00:43:50,740
It's because he knew who he was, because of whose he was.

1151
00:43:50,740 --> 00:43:52,340
And he just kept on leaning on God.

1152
00:43:52,340 --> 00:43:54,420
He was staying faithful the entire time.

1153
00:43:54,420 --> 00:43:57,940
And he always was willing to become the savage servant

1154
00:43:57,940 --> 00:43:59,380
no matter what position he was.

1155
00:43:59,380 --> 00:44:02,540
And that's why he was put in charge of Potiphar's house.

1156
00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:05,220
That's why he was put in charge of the prison.

1157
00:44:05,220 --> 00:44:07,300
And that's why he was put second in charge of Egypt.

1158
00:44:07,300 --> 00:44:08,580
It's because he was will.

1159
00:44:08,580 --> 00:44:10,380
It's because of his character.

1160
00:44:10,380 --> 00:44:13,380
And always just saying, OK, all right, well, I'm in prison.

1161
00:44:13,380 --> 00:44:15,940
But I'm going to make the best of my situation.

1162
00:44:15,940 --> 00:44:18,100
Keep that screen up, Jaime, real quick.

1163
00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:20,220
So we didn't have a lot of time to talk about.

1164
00:44:20,220 --> 00:44:22,460
But of course, Sean Murphy is not going anywhere.

1165
00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:24,940
He's going to be around for a long time and helping out.

1166
00:44:24,940 --> 00:44:27,140
And he's got this Free Life Foundation coming out.

1167
00:44:27,140 --> 00:44:30,060
And so if what he has shared today resonates with you,

1168
00:44:30,060 --> 00:44:34,100
and if this biblical kick aligns with what

1169
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:36,460
you're looking for in life, and you align those principles,

1170
00:44:36,460 --> 00:44:38,740
and how he's delivering them, then as it says,

1171
00:44:38,740 --> 00:44:40,980
demystifying biblical business wisdom

1172
00:44:40,980 --> 00:44:44,860
to empower the modern, God-focused entrepreneur,

1173
00:44:44,860 --> 00:44:50,140
there's ways that all aspects of life, in my opinion, do align.

1174
00:44:50,140 --> 00:44:53,420
And it's not about you following my opinion.

1175
00:44:53,420 --> 00:44:55,580
It's not about you following Sean's opinion.

1176
00:44:55,580 --> 00:44:57,540
It's about discovering that for yourself.

1177
00:44:57,540 --> 00:44:59,660
If you see the opportunity there, then do it.

1178
00:44:59,660 --> 00:45:03,940
I will share one final scripture from my side, Romans 8.28,

1179
00:45:03,940 --> 00:45:07,620
which says, and we know that all things work together for good

1180
00:45:07,620 --> 00:45:10,460
to them that love God, them who are called

1181
00:45:10,460 --> 00:45:12,980
according to His purpose.

1182
00:45:12,980 --> 00:45:15,700
And what that ultimately means is, yeah,

1183
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:17,660
everything I experience, good, bad, or ugly,

1184
00:45:17,660 --> 00:45:21,460
the storms I've been through, the trials that I've had,

1185
00:45:21,460 --> 00:45:24,660
the adversities that I've had, I know for myself

1186
00:45:24,660 --> 00:45:26,940
that every single one of those is a blessing,

1187
00:45:26,940 --> 00:45:28,780
that I may not be able to recognize it,

1188
00:45:28,780 --> 00:45:31,220
may not be able to appreciate it in the moment of the time.

1189
00:45:31,220 --> 00:45:31,900
It may make me cry.

1190
00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:32,980
It may make me angry.

1191
00:45:32,980 --> 00:45:34,700
It may make me confused.

1192
00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:36,780
But I do know that all those experiences

1193
00:45:36,780 --> 00:45:39,180
are designed to help me become the best version of myself

1194
00:45:39,180 --> 00:45:40,060
for others.

1195
00:45:40,060 --> 00:45:42,620
And ultimately, that's what I hear Sean

1196
00:45:42,620 --> 00:45:43,740
guiding people towards.

1197
00:45:43,740 --> 00:45:46,700
And those principles, when you live a life based

1198
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:48,740
on principles, visionaries, it's going

1199
00:45:48,740 --> 00:45:52,180
to be very hard for anything to come around and knock you

1200
00:45:52,180 --> 00:45:55,460
off your feet and derail you from your purpose.

1201
00:45:55,460 --> 00:45:57,420
So Sean, thanks for blessing us with that today,

1202
00:45:57,420 --> 00:46:00,060
for bringing your vision to the show.

1203
00:46:00,060 --> 00:46:02,260
And guys, you heard it.

1204
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:03,580
Reach out to him on Facebook.

1205
00:46:03,580 --> 00:46:05,060
He's got some viral content on there

1206
00:46:05,060 --> 00:46:06,940
you'll probably greatly enjoy.

1207
00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:08,980
And don't hesitate to reach out to him.

1208
00:46:08,980 --> 00:46:11,900
Sean, anything you'd like to say before we wrap up?

1209
00:46:11,900 --> 00:46:14,540
If I could just close out with reading a little scripture

1210
00:46:14,540 --> 00:46:17,940
just to take like two minutes, is that good?

1211
00:46:17,940 --> 00:46:19,780
This will really help anybody out

1212
00:46:19,780 --> 00:46:21,780
if you're going through a hard time right now.

1213
00:46:21,780 --> 00:46:25,100
This has come from James chapter 1, starting with verse 2.

1214
00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:27,060
Consider it pure joy, my brothers,

1215
00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:29,620
whenever you face trials of many kinds,

1216
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:31,700
because you know that the testing of your faith

1217
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:33,660
develops perseverance.

1218
00:46:33,660 --> 00:46:35,380
Perseverance must finish its work

1219
00:46:35,380 --> 00:46:39,100
so that you may become mature and complete,

1220
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:41,220
not lacking anything.

1221
00:46:41,220 --> 00:46:42,660
And so if you're going through a hard time,

1222
00:46:42,660 --> 00:46:46,380
know that this is, everything comes out for the better

1223
00:46:46,380 --> 00:46:47,700
for God's will and his purpose,

1224
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:49,500
just like you just said there, Jackson.

1225
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:53,020
But, you know, Rick Flair used to say,

1226
00:46:53,020 --> 00:46:54,980
to be the man you got to beat the man, right?

1227
00:46:54,980 --> 00:46:57,220
Well, I say to be the man, you got to become the man.

1228
00:46:57,220 --> 00:46:59,700
And this is way God ensures that you become the man

1229
00:46:59,700 --> 00:47:02,820
and become the character to bring the blessings upon.

1230
00:47:02,820 --> 00:47:03,660
So.

1231
00:47:03,660 --> 00:47:04,620
Well said.

1232
00:47:04,620 --> 00:47:07,020
My friends, any of you that feel like some of this

1233
00:47:07,020 --> 00:47:08,340
went over your head today,

1234
00:47:09,380 --> 00:47:11,380
or doesn't hit your heart the same way

1235
00:47:11,380 --> 00:47:13,500
that it does Sean's or mine,

1236
00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:15,020
my challenge to you is to think of it

1237
00:47:15,020 --> 00:47:17,420
like learning a new language.

1238
00:47:17,420 --> 00:47:18,980
The more languages that you learn

1239
00:47:18,980 --> 00:47:21,180
to communicate better with those around you,

1240
00:47:21,180 --> 00:47:23,500
the more well-rounded and developed you will be

1241
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:25,740
to position yourself as a leader in this world

1242
00:47:25,740 --> 00:47:27,140
to ultimately help others.

1243
00:47:27,140 --> 00:47:27,980
That's what it's all about.

1244
00:47:27,980 --> 00:47:31,300
So have a great weekend, Vision Pros.

1245
00:47:31,300 --> 00:47:32,620

1246
00:47:32,620 --> 00:47:35,260
and we will see you in the next show.

1247
00:47:35,260 --> 00:47:36,260
Awesome, thank you.

1248
00:47:36,260 --> 00:47:37,660

This is gonna get more and more fun.

1257
00:47:55,780 --> 00:48:00,780
and be careful.
