1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,840
Definitely.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,240
Awesome, man.

3
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,660
Well, good stuff.

4
00:00:04,660 --> 00:00:09,160
All right, so if there was three secrets,

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,740
overlooked secrets to collaborative companies

6
00:00:12,740 --> 00:00:16,320
and putting your family first, combining that formula,

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,160
what are they, Justin?

8
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,720
Marriott Stabilizing Human.

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,760
What was that?

10
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,240
Marriott Stabilizing Human.

11
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,260
Yeah, well said.

12
00:00:24,260 --> 00:00:26,660
Marriott Stabilizing Human, number one.

13
00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:28,180
That's one, two, and three.

14
00:00:28,180 --> 00:00:30,340
Marriott Stabilizing Human.

15
00:00:30,340 --> 00:00:31,420
Teach me about that.

16
00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:33,660
Say that again?

17
00:00:33,660 --> 00:00:36,220
I mean, meaning that's it, that's the priority.

18
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:38,260
Like don't lose sight of that.

19
00:00:38,260 --> 00:00:39,100
That's it.

20
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:39,940
Right, that's it.

21
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:41,420
Paul.

22
00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:44,020
Geez, what's the secret to doing that?

23
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:46,940
Being a visionary.

24
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:48,200
Are you a stabilizing human?

25
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,260
Well, you seek what you need to heal,

26
00:00:50,260 --> 00:00:53,460
so usually visionaries marry stabilizing humans.

27
00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:54,720
Not always, usually.

28
00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:56,580
Okay.

29
00:00:56,580 --> 00:00:58,500
So, you're going to be a visionary to each other.

30
00:00:58,500 --> 00:00:59,740
Interesting.

31
00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:00,580
Awesome.

32
00:01:00,580 --> 00:01:03,300
What is the secret to international bestselling author?

33
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:05,820
What do you do to make that happen?

34
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:13,140
I mean, right mindset creates right network,

35
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:14,500
creates right opportunities.

36
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,340
So, by having the right mindset,

37
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:18,500
it attracts the right people,

38
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:20,220
and then they create opportunities for you.

39
00:01:20,220 --> 00:01:23,660
So, all this business owner stuff is just a byproduct

40
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:25,420
of having the right mindset

41
00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:27,020
and marrying a stabilizing human.

42
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:30,640
Well said.

43
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,480
All right.

44
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,960
And what's the secret to networking?

45
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:38,180
Right mindset attracts right network,

46
00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:40,420
creates right opportunity.

47
00:01:40,420 --> 00:01:42,620
Same formula, keep it simple.

48
00:01:42,620 --> 00:01:43,460
I love it.

49
00:01:43,460 --> 00:01:44,460
All right.

50
00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:46,980
Biggest goal for 2024.

51
00:01:46,980 --> 00:01:48,500
Oh, I don't live in years.

52
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,060
Welcome in to Vision Pros Live.

53
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:53,140
With Jackson Calame, I'm your show host.

54
00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:55,820
We will be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs

55
00:01:55,820 --> 00:01:57,780
and guest leaders who are building

56
00:01:57,780 --> 00:01:59,300
fantastic visions out there.

57
00:02:08,140 --> 00:02:08,980
Hey, what's up?

58
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:10,380
And welcome in to Vision Pros Live.

59
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,340
I'm your show host, Jackson Calame,

60
00:02:12,340 --> 00:02:14,280
founder and CEO of First Class Business.

61
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,140
I'm excited to have Justin Breen on the show today.

62
00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:19,700
We're going to be talking about collaborative brands,

63
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:21,200
collaborative companies,

64
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,460
whichever you want to look at.

65
00:02:22,460 --> 00:02:24,220
This could be for small businesses as well

66
00:02:24,220 --> 00:02:25,860
and how to collaborate more effectively,

67
00:02:25,860 --> 00:02:27,020
but also how to make sure

68
00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:29,540
that you're putting your loved ones first in the process,

69
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:31,940
which oftentimes isn't the case.

70
00:02:31,940 --> 00:02:33,300
And we should own that.

71
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:35,620
We should know within our own personal inventory,

72
00:02:35,620 --> 00:02:37,300
how are we doing for our relationships?

73
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:38,780
Are we showing up and putting them first

74
00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:40,580
or are they kind of the back burner?

75
00:02:40,580 --> 00:02:42,940
And can we fine tune that, optimize that

76
00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:45,880
to make sure that we are getting the most out of our life

77
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,140
as well as out of our business?

78
00:02:47,140 --> 00:02:49,780
So we're bringing the expert on for that in just a minute.

79
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:50,820
Before we do that,

80
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:52,340
I want to talk about some of these sponsors.

81
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:55,980
So up here, if you're looking at the screen,

82
00:02:55,980 --> 00:02:59,220
you got laid back languages with Patrick Creighton.

83
00:02:59,220 --> 00:03:01,360
Patrick Creighton knows six different languages.

84
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,680
In fact, he knows more than six,

85
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,700
but he teaches people how to learn six languages.

86
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:08,420
And I'm impressed with him as an individual.

87
00:03:08,420 --> 00:03:10,500
It took me about four and a half months

88
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,100
to learn Spanish fluently.

89
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:14,860
It took me about 18 months to realize

90
00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:17,540
that I had learned it fluently within four and a half months.

91
00:03:17,540 --> 00:03:19,140
And it's not because I'm super genius,

92
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:21,080
it's because I learned through methodology

93
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,940
that helped me boost my productivity.

94
00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:26,980
And I really saw a lot of the same concepts

95
00:03:26,980 --> 00:03:28,940
and same core beliefs in Patrick

96
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:29,940
when we came to know each other.

97
00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:33,060
So if you're looking to learn a foreign language,

98
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:35,420
and want to do so for the sake of,

99
00:03:35,420 --> 00:03:37,700
I don't know, for any reason that you want to in life.

100
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,220
A lot of people it's academic,

101
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:41,820
for some people it's a matter of passion and relationship.

102
00:03:41,820 --> 00:03:44,300
He's a phenomenal resource in order to do that.

103
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:46,140
Deteo Publishing is well up here.

104
00:03:46,140 --> 00:03:49,500
Deteo Publishing is the company

105
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,580
incubated by Ashley Deteo.

106
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:54,100
Ashley literally wrote the book on world schooling.

107
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:57,140
She also wrote the content marketing strategy

108
00:03:57,140 --> 00:03:58,820
and all of the content.

109
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:00,220
I shouldn't say she wrote all the content.

110
00:04:00,220 --> 00:04:02,580
She redid a lot of the content

111
00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:05,900
and then wrote hundreds of articles for Nomad Capitalist.

112
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:09,160
And that's one of the top financial advisor companies

113
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,320
in the world.

114
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,700
I highly recommend checking out the types of articles

115
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:14,100
that she was writing on there.

116
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:15,820
She also wrote a book called Wallace the Westy

117
00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:19,140
and she's published and helped publish many other authors.

118
00:04:19,140 --> 00:04:20,260
She reviews manuscripts.

119
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,980
She's got a great process for that.

120
00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:24,220
She's one of the most balanced

121
00:04:24,220 --> 00:04:26,580
and thorough research and development experts

122
00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:27,520
that I've ever met.

123
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,900
So when it comes to publishing,

124
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:30,180
make sure you have a great strategy

125
00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:33,460
because one of the things that is surprising to me

126
00:04:33,460 --> 00:04:35,180
is the amount of bestsellers,

127
00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:37,420
the amount of authors out there

128
00:04:37,420 --> 00:04:41,020
that have less than 10 reviews on their book.

129
00:04:41,020 --> 00:04:42,900
And honestly, I'd be super embarrassed

130
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:44,980
if I launched a book, claimed to be a bestseller

131
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:49,020
and had less than 10 reviews on my Amazon book.

132
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:51,380
That would be a nightmare in my opinion.

133
00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:53,900
So if you're in the process of launching your book

134
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:55,260
or you've launched and need to relaunch,

135
00:04:55,260 --> 00:04:57,660
I highly recommend checking out what Ashley's up to,

136
00:04:57,660 --> 00:04:59,620
how she might be able to help support you.

137
00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:01,260
And then last and not least, of course,

138
00:05:01,260 --> 00:05:02,880
is the Water Project.

139
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,180
The Water Project is one of those things

140
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:08,100
that we're gonna be hitting more and more of this year.

141
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:10,060
I hope to make some really big plans too.

142
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:13,060
One of my goals is to eventually take some

143
00:05:13,060 --> 00:05:15,260
of our team members to actually go visit

144
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:16,980
either one of these locations

145
00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:21,140
or to go visit a similar water well project in Africa.

146
00:05:21,140 --> 00:05:22,500
I think it would be an awesome opportunity

147
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:25,300
for my kiddos as well to accompany us on that.

148
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:29,340
If you're not making big life-changing goals like that,

149
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:31,940
my question too is why not?

150
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:35,420
Why not go after something with absolute passion?

151
00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:37,980
Now, one of the truths about the Water Project that I love,

152
00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:40,500
you see that map right there of the different projects,

153
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:42,380
they specifically choose communities

154
00:05:42,380 --> 00:05:44,380
that are extremely hard to get to.

155
00:05:44,380 --> 00:05:46,420
So when I mentioned whether we'll go there specifically

156
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:48,700
to one of those or we'll go to another one,

157
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:50,580
I don't know enough about traveling in Africa,

158
00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:53,420
especially with my kids, to know where are the places

159
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:56,140
that we can access and go to in the process.

160
00:05:56,140 --> 00:06:00,100
But I love that what they do is they take actual photos

161
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:01,660
of what's going on for the projects,

162
00:06:01,660 --> 00:06:04,020
whether they're building a sand dam or a borehole well

163
00:06:04,020 --> 00:06:06,020
and helping the community learn how to maintain it,

164
00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:09,020
you have the opportunity to also know what's going on

165
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:10,180
with the money that you put into it.

166
00:06:10,180 --> 00:06:12,780
Now, if you have another cause you'd like to see us support,

167
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:14,940
then don't hesitate to drop that in the comments.

168
00:06:14,940 --> 00:06:16,860
We're always happy to see what else we can do

169
00:06:16,860 --> 00:06:21,540
to bring light, laughter, love, joy, prosperity to the world.

170
00:06:21,540 --> 00:06:23,300
And that's one of the ways that we strive to do that.

171
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:27,620
So without further ado, let's bring Justin Breen on board.

172
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:28,780
Welcome to the show, Justin.

173
00:06:28,780 --> 00:06:31,100
Appreciate you being on VisionPros Live, my friend.

174
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:34,020
Hey, it's great to see you, hear you.

175
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:36,940
I just introduced you to one of my good buddies.

176
00:06:36,940 --> 00:06:41,060
He's a pure visionary who has a big water project in Africa.

177
00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:41,900
Hey.

178
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:43,620
So most of my day is talking to people

179
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:46,780
that just ramble ADD and then I'm like, oh, there's an idea.

180
00:06:46,780 --> 00:06:49,780
I'll just intro them to another visionary who ramble.

181
00:06:49,780 --> 00:06:53,300
And then visionaries, we connect visionaries

182
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:55,780
to serve humanity and then you believe in humanity

183
00:06:55,780 --> 00:06:56,700
so we believe in you.

184
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:58,740
So I just connect people like you to everyone else

185
00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:00,020
because you help everyone else.

186
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:01,780
It's very, very simple.

187
00:07:01,780 --> 00:07:03,180
Hey man, way to tie that together.

188
00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:04,580
I love that.

189
00:07:04,580 --> 00:07:06,260
Well, appreciate the connection.

190
00:07:06,260 --> 00:07:08,620
And Justin, in your own words,

191
00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:10,900
who should be listening today

192
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:13,580
and why do you feel they should be listening to you?

193
00:07:13,580 --> 00:07:16,940
Thanks, I don't even use the S-H-O-U-L-D word.

194
00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:18,060
That's up to them.

195
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:20,580
That's up to them.

196
00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:25,260
I don't like the advice word or I don't.

197
00:07:25,260 --> 00:07:27,460
People are either, you're either born a visionary

198
00:07:27,460 --> 00:07:30,460
or you're not and then visionaries really like me

199
00:07:30,460 --> 00:07:34,300
and then humans and business owners, consultants

200
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:35,380
don't really understand me.

201
00:07:35,380 --> 00:07:38,060
So what I've learned is that the directness

202
00:07:38,060 --> 00:07:40,140
eliminates people that don't understand it

203
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:43,260
and attracts people that wanna change the world

204
00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:45,060
and then they'll make the investment to do that.

205
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:48,740
So it's a lot of fun being in that space all the time.

206
00:07:48,740 --> 00:07:49,620
I love that.

207
00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:52,140
Now, one of the things that I personally challenge

208
00:07:52,140 --> 00:07:54,740
about that is I believe everybody is born a visionary

209
00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:57,740
and I think a lot of people lose sight of that.

210
00:07:57,740 --> 00:07:59,100
You're an empath, Includer.

211
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:00,180
Thank you for saying that.

212
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:01,860
I connect people like you to people like you

213
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:03,300
because you help everyone else.

214
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,180
I'm not gonna think about everyone else

215
00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:06,260
or think that everyone's born.

216
00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:07,540
I'm not going to.

217
00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:10,500
We can fundamentally disagree on that,

218
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,340
but we're both trying to help humanity.

219
00:08:13,340 --> 00:08:15,580
So I don't even think about humanity.

220
00:08:15,580 --> 00:08:17,500
I connect people like you to people like you

221
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,260
and you help everyone else.

222
00:08:19,260 --> 00:08:21,260
But I fundamentally disagree

223
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:23,060
that everyone's born a visionary.

224
00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:26,220
In fact, I'd say almost no one is born a visionary.

225
00:08:26,220 --> 00:08:27,700
What's your definition of a visionary?

226
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:28,620
Let's hear that.

227
00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:29,660
Yep.

228
00:08:29,660 --> 00:08:33,020
So business owners, humans, consultants care about revenue,

229
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:38,020
paycheck, office space, employee account, making a list.

230
00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:40,820
They're trying to change their world, their, their.

231
00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:42,900
A true visionary cares about purpose,

232
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,180
spending time with loved ones, true connectivity.

233
00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:48,260
They're changing the world, the fundamental difference

234
00:08:48,260 --> 00:08:49,700
of their world and the world thing.

235
00:08:49,700 --> 00:08:50,620
Okay, so that's one.

236
00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:51,860
And then here are the four things

237
00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:54,300
that separate visionaries from humans and business owners.

238
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:55,700
There are only four things.

239
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:57,340
There are only four things.

240
00:08:57,340 --> 00:09:00,060
So one, bankruptcy or potential bankruptcy.

241
00:09:00,060 --> 00:09:01,220
Two, depression.

242
00:09:01,220 --> 00:09:03,060
Three, highest level of anxiety.

243
00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:04,780
You can imagine four likely

244
00:09:04,780 --> 00:09:06,980
and or possible traumatic experiences

245
00:09:06,980 --> 00:09:08,740
as a child or young adult.

246
00:09:08,740 --> 00:09:10,900
So for humans, business owners, consultants,

247
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:13,820
those are excuses for visionary figured out.

248
00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:14,820
That's the fuel.

249
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:19,980
Since COVID I've talked to four folks

250
00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:21,940
under three of those four things.

251
00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:25,500
Now it's all threes and fours, threes and fours.

252
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,780
And what an entrepreneur visionary actually is,

253
00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:29,940
not a silver spoon, that's a different discussion.

254
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:33,540
But a visionary is the most damaged person,

255
00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:35,540
three or four of those four things

256
00:09:35,540 --> 00:09:37,300
with the best coping skills,

257
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:40,180
highest IQ, highest EQ, most hustle.

258
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:43,460
Regular human cannot, absolutely cannot be a visionary.

259
00:09:43,460 --> 00:09:44,980
Because if they could, they would.

260
00:09:44,980 --> 00:09:46,540
They could do it, they would do it.

261
00:09:46,540 --> 00:09:49,260
They would not make the excuse, but they do.

262
00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:51,260
What was number one out of four?

263
00:09:51,260 --> 00:09:53,100
Bankruptcy or potential bankruptcy.

264
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:54,260
Bankruptcy, got it.

265
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:55,100
Insanity.

266
00:09:56,620 --> 00:09:57,460
And trauma.

267
00:09:57,460 --> 00:09:59,460
Right, that's what it is.

268
00:09:59,460 --> 00:10:01,020
Most damaged, best coping skills.

269
00:10:01,020 --> 00:10:02,220
Where'd you learn this?

270
00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:04,340
It's very logical.

271
00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:05,660
No, no, no, okay.

272
00:10:05,660 --> 00:10:07,180
You're a learner, okay?

273
00:10:07,180 --> 00:10:08,020
Yep.

274
00:10:08,020 --> 00:10:09,860
I know you're a learner, okay?

275
00:10:09,860 --> 00:10:11,460
Nailed it, that's my number one strength.

276
00:10:11,460 --> 00:10:12,300
Strength, finally.

277
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:14,180
Oh, boy, you and everyone else will learn.

278
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:16,500
And then the business owners by now,

279
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:18,860
they've already hung up on this, which is fine.

280
00:10:18,860 --> 00:10:20,700
That's fine, that's the point.

281
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:21,540
Yep.

282
00:10:21,540 --> 00:10:22,860
That's the point.

283
00:10:22,860 --> 00:10:24,620
So I learned this from talking

284
00:10:24,620 --> 00:10:26,740
to the World Stop Visionaries all day

285
00:10:26,740 --> 00:10:28,180
and spending time with my family.

286
00:10:28,180 --> 00:10:29,900
I don't care about business owner stuff

287
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:32,260
or any of that stuff, I never have.

288
00:10:32,260 --> 00:10:34,500
And then if you talk to this same type of person

289
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:36,500
over and over, then you learn the patterns.

290
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:37,900
And then learning is fine,

291
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:39,460
but if you don't do anything with it,

292
00:10:39,460 --> 00:10:40,660
then what's the point?

293
00:10:40,660 --> 00:10:42,460
So I'm an activator one.

294
00:10:42,460 --> 00:10:43,740
I'm an activator.

295
00:10:43,740 --> 00:10:45,460
So here's the answer, here's the pattern.

296
00:10:45,460 --> 00:10:47,620
Focus on the answer, focus on the pattern.

297
00:10:48,780 --> 00:10:50,420
And then connect the pattern to the pattern,

298
00:10:50,420 --> 00:10:51,820
they help everyone else.

299
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:53,740
So it's really not that hard.

300
00:10:53,740 --> 00:10:55,980
Once you know the answer, it just takes a lifetime,

301
00:10:55,980 --> 00:10:58,260
many times, of learning the pattern.

302
00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:00,420
Interesting, good.

303
00:11:00,420 --> 00:11:02,580
What's your vision for those that you serve?

304
00:11:03,540 --> 00:11:05,900
Well, there's only one vision.

305
00:11:05,900 --> 00:11:07,860
There's only one vision.

306
00:11:07,860 --> 00:11:11,100
And my son is, my son's nine, but when he was eight,

307
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,100
his name's Chase, and then our oldest is Jake, he's 11.

308
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:17,300
But when Chase was eight, he was talking about,

309
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:19,380
he considers life one long, great day.

310
00:11:19,380 --> 00:11:21,100
So yesterday's before you're born,

311
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:22,300
tomorrow's after you die.

312
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:23,860
And then he said, there's only two ways

313
00:11:23,860 --> 00:11:25,020
to have a great long day.

314
00:11:25,020 --> 00:11:27,180
So this whole year, next year thing,

315
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:30,020
or I don't even understand that, I never have.

316
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:32,500
That's just a human term made up by humans.

317
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:36,300
So he said, there are only two ways to have a great day.

318
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,340
One, create more living things.

319
00:11:38,340 --> 00:11:40,900
Two, do what you like to do and what you're good at,

320
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:42,460
and keep getting better at it.

321
00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:44,900
So I've created living things,

322
00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:49,900
and then I connect visionaries to serve humanity.

323
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:51,420
So that's all I think about,

324
00:11:51,420 --> 00:11:52,780
besides hanging out with my family.

325
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:55,780
So that's not vision for this year or next year,

326
00:11:55,780 --> 00:11:57,380
that's rest of my life.

327
00:11:57,380 --> 00:11:58,780
Absolutely, well, cool.

328
00:11:58,780 --> 00:12:01,180
You just knocked out what's your vision as well

329
00:12:01,180 --> 00:12:02,580
in the process.

330
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:07,580
So in terms of your children, are they visionaries?

331
00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:09,620
Oh yeah, yeah.

332
00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:12,620
So they're both, so I see the world in numbers and keywords.

333
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:17,540
And in Colby, K-O-L-B-E.com, A-Index,

334
00:12:17,540 --> 00:12:18,900
that's how your brain takes action.

335
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:21,660
They're both nine quick start, two follow-throughs.

336
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:24,260
So that's ADD, diagnosed or undiagnosed.

337
00:12:24,260 --> 00:12:25,620
It's not a disorder.

338
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:26,460
It's a sign of genius.

339
00:12:26,460 --> 00:12:28,820
It's a sign of genius mislabeled by humans.

340
00:12:28,820 --> 00:12:30,500
Humans don't understand visionaries.

341
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:33,020
It's like talking to a wall, they'll never understand

342
00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:34,020
because they're not visionaries.

343
00:12:34,020 --> 00:12:34,860
They weren't born of it.

344
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:36,660
Well, again, we can agree to disagree,

345
00:12:36,660 --> 00:12:41,340
but they don't understand this, never will.

346
00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:43,100
I spent most of my life talking like this,

347
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:44,820
and most people didn't understand.

348
00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:48,620
So created multiple companies to connect people

349
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:49,460
that did understand.

350
00:12:49,460 --> 00:12:52,980
But so both of the children are unemployable.

351
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:54,380
The nine-year-old's already talking

352
00:12:54,380 --> 00:12:56,660
about taking over both companies.

353
00:12:56,660 --> 00:12:59,060
They're bigger visionaries than I am.

354
00:12:59,060 --> 00:12:59,900
So yes.

355
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:01,220
Awesome.

356
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:02,460
Okay.

357
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:06,580
So if people, if human beings don't have the capacity

358
00:13:06,580 --> 00:13:08,100
to become visionaries.

359
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,020
Thank God the whole world's not visionaries.

360
00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:11,460
It'd be anarchy chaos.

361
00:13:11,460 --> 00:13:13,060
Yes, it would.

362
00:13:13,060 --> 00:13:15,100
So are you saying that they won't pass through

363
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:16,740
one of those four experiences?

364
00:13:16,740 --> 00:13:18,740
Like if they pass through one of those four experiences?

365
00:13:18,740 --> 00:13:20,580
No, no, no, no, no, no.

366
00:13:20,580 --> 00:13:21,420
Great question.

367
00:13:21,420 --> 00:13:23,260
Great question.

368
00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:25,220
Great question.

369
00:13:25,220 --> 00:13:27,340
So I'll answer it like this,

370
00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:28,300
because you're a learner.

371
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:31,460
So I've been an entrepreneur for six and a half years,

372
00:13:31,460 --> 00:13:33,540
zero business background, zero.

373
00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:34,940
Was a journalist for 20 years.

374
00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:36,340
Now have two global companies

375
00:13:36,340 --> 00:13:38,980
that only partner with top visionaries on planet,

376
00:13:38,980 --> 00:13:41,500
or those who will make the investment to become them.

377
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:42,340
Okay?

378
00:13:42,340 --> 00:13:46,060
So most of, not all, most of the people I talk to

379
00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:47,300
are very wealthy.

380
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:48,460
There are some that are not,

381
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:51,180
but they will do what it takes to become that,

382
00:13:51,180 --> 00:13:52,620
because money is energy.

383
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:54,900
If you don't have energy, then okay.

384
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:55,740
Right.

385
00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:58,660
So the, right, but most, right, that's a sip,

386
00:13:58,660 --> 00:14:01,860
but most people say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

387
00:14:01,860 --> 00:14:03,300
What does it cost or charge?

388
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:04,700
No, incorrect.

389
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:06,180
That's not the answer.

390
00:14:06,180 --> 00:14:07,700
That's just an excuse.

391
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:11,740
So the first couple of years, okay, true, right,

392
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:15,540
but most people, so you're saying most people are visionaries,

393
00:14:15,540 --> 00:14:18,100
but they're not, because for them it's not true.

394
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:19,340
It's incorrect.

395
00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:22,220
So, okay, so let me, let me slow down.

396
00:14:22,220 --> 00:14:25,620
So first starting first company with zero business background,

397
00:14:25,620 --> 00:14:28,660
the first couple of years I was talking to

398
00:14:28,660 --> 00:14:31,500
of those four things, maybe one or two of those things,

399
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:34,340
sometimes three, sometimes zero of them.

400
00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:38,620
Very rarely all four, very rarely.

401
00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:39,460
Okay?

402
00:14:39,460 --> 00:14:41,740
Now it is all threes and fours.

403
00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:44,260
The exception are the silver spoons,

404
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:47,420
because that's a different, that's a different discussion.

405
00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:52,420
But those four things are almost an essential,

406
00:14:53,420 --> 00:14:55,300
it's an essential thing.

407
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:56,140
And-

408
00:14:56,140 --> 00:14:56,980
It's a catalyst.

409
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:58,420
It's a catalyst.

410
00:14:58,420 --> 00:15:03,180
And again, I've talked to very few,

411
00:15:03,180 --> 00:15:05,340
there's a few that are less than three of those four things.

412
00:15:05,340 --> 00:15:10,340
So it is possible, but very unlikely.

413
00:15:10,340 --> 00:15:12,700
And then again, those four things for,

414
00:15:12,700 --> 00:15:15,060
I guess a regular human or someone who's not like this,

415
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:16,380
they're excuses.

416
00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:17,820
So you can go through those things,

417
00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:19,260
but if you make excuses with them,

418
00:15:19,260 --> 00:15:21,500
then you're not a visionary, you're not.

419
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:25,140
Because if you're a preventer of your vision,

420
00:15:25,140 --> 00:15:27,660
how can you, if you're your own preventer,

421
00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:28,980
what's the point?

422
00:15:28,980 --> 00:15:29,820
Yeah.

423
00:15:29,820 --> 00:15:31,220
With excuses.

424
00:15:31,220 --> 00:15:32,380
Absolutely.

425
00:15:32,380 --> 00:15:33,220
All right, Justin, so-

426
00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:35,740
Wait, we agreed then.

427
00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:38,700
So we agreed that most people aren't visionaries then.

428
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:40,820
Well, again, the capacity, we do,

429
00:15:40,820 --> 00:15:43,220
and we agree and we disagree.

430
00:15:43,220 --> 00:15:45,380
So there's elements, there's layers of that.

431
00:15:45,380 --> 00:15:48,860
And so humans, I believe, are born with a capacity

432
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:51,740
of whether they choose to do so or not

433
00:15:51,740 --> 00:15:55,140
is often determined at a very young age, in my opinion.

434
00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:57,580
So I believe people are born with that capacity,

435
00:15:57,580 --> 00:16:00,140
but they then go through different experiences.

436
00:16:00,140 --> 00:16:02,700
They utilize those as excuses in many cases

437
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:05,140
and decide not to, or they end up with a baseline

438
00:16:05,140 --> 00:16:07,420
that's so comfortable, they never have a reason.

439
00:16:07,420 --> 00:16:08,260
That's right.

440
00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:09,080
To then go-

441
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,020
A visionary would never be like that.

442
00:16:11,020 --> 00:16:11,860
Right.

443
00:16:11,860 --> 00:16:12,700
Correct.

444
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:17,700
So they're not, so, okay, let's collaborate on this

445
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:19,300
because this is a good discussion.

446
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:20,140
Let's do it.

447
00:16:20,140 --> 00:16:20,960
Okay.

448
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,300
So I strongly feel that you're either born like this

449
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:25,140
or you're not.

450
00:16:25,140 --> 00:16:26,940
I'd venture to say maybe our firms

451
00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:29,420
may be partnered with one out of a thousand people.

452
00:16:29,420 --> 00:16:31,120
Maybe, it's probably less than that,

453
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,300
but if there are eight billion people,

454
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:34,780
one out of a thousand is eight million.

455
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:37,100
So there's eight million, eight million.

456
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:39,120
And then there's three attributes,

457
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,540
three attributes that I see in a visionary.

458
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:42,380
Three.

459
00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:43,220
One, they're visionary.

460
00:16:43,220 --> 00:16:44,860
They're not a human, they're not a business owner,

461
00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:45,700
they're not a consultant.

462
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:46,860
They're dull world thinking.

463
00:16:46,860 --> 00:16:47,860
They're not their world.

464
00:16:47,860 --> 00:16:48,940
Not their world.

465
00:16:48,940 --> 00:16:53,860
Two, they live in full abundance, no scarcity, full abundance.

466
00:16:53,860 --> 00:16:55,220
Oh, this world's amazing.

467
00:16:55,220 --> 00:16:57,140
Well, amazing world, no scarcity.

468
00:16:57,140 --> 00:16:57,980
Okay.

469
00:16:57,980 --> 00:16:59,840
Here's where the fake visionary,

470
00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:03,220
here's where the fake visionary gets trapped.

471
00:17:03,220 --> 00:17:05,340
This is where the fake visionary gets trapped.

472
00:17:05,340 --> 00:17:08,760
And maybe this dovetails into what you're talking about.

473
00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:12,140
A true visionary, a true visionary

474
00:17:12,140 --> 00:17:17,140
will never ever, ever ask, what do you cost or charge?

475
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,900
Because if you live in cost charge world,

476
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,540
you live in scarcity world,

477
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:23,120
which means you're not a visionary.

478
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:24,660
That's what it means.

479
00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:26,140
So you can think you're a visionary,

480
00:17:26,140 --> 00:17:27,300
you can think you live in abundance,

481
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:29,980
but if you live in cost or make an excuse

482
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:32,540
to not invest in something, then you're not a visionary.

483
00:17:32,540 --> 00:17:33,380
You know?

484
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:35,700
I've been there.

485
00:17:36,780 --> 00:17:37,620
I've been there.

486
00:17:37,620 --> 00:17:39,540
And where are you now?

487
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:40,580
What do you mean, where am I now?

488
00:17:40,580 --> 00:17:41,660
You're a visionary.

489
00:17:41,660 --> 00:17:43,740
You made the investment.

490
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:45,060
Right, absolutely.

491
00:17:45,060 --> 00:17:50,060
And at the same time, I have found myself in the past

492
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:54,940
falling into the category of conditioned

493
00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:58,780
and utilizing such word choice.

494
00:17:58,780 --> 00:18:02,500
And it took me a learning process to get past that.

495
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:04,500
But here's my challenge on that, Justin.

496
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:06,620
If we go back 2000 years,

497
00:18:06,620 --> 00:18:08,780
the amount of people who could produce electricity

498
00:18:08,780 --> 00:18:12,180
was slim to none, right?

499
00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:15,660
And it could produce fire, slim to none.

500
00:18:15,660 --> 00:18:18,180
Even though everybody had the capacity to do so,

501
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:21,280
nobody had the knowledge on how to turn that switch.

502
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,580
Today, that's dramatically different.

503
00:18:24,580 --> 00:18:25,400
Right.

504
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,240
Why?

505
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,300
Because somebody took a-

506
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:29,140
Why aren't there more visionaries?

507
00:18:29,140 --> 00:18:30,500
Well, why aren't there more visionaries?

508
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:32,380
So why aren't there more visionaries?

509
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:34,860
I think it's because we have to learn the pattern.

510
00:18:34,860 --> 00:18:36,380
I do think that a lot of people can.

511
00:18:36,380 --> 00:18:38,680
But that would be my subtle argument

512
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,020
towards the reality, but go ahead.

513
00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:41,860
No way.

514
00:18:41,860 --> 00:18:43,900
We've never lived in a more abundant time

515
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:47,020
with more knowledge, more learning access available.

516
00:18:47,020 --> 00:18:49,580
And it's still a very small percentage of society

517
00:18:49,580 --> 00:18:52,420
that actually creates things that help everyone else.

518
00:18:52,420 --> 00:18:54,220
And then they have the capital to do it.

519
00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:55,100
True.

520
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:55,960
Oh, it's true.

521
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,540
But again, I'll keep my faith on that.

522
00:18:57,540 --> 00:18:58,380
It's all right though.

523
00:18:58,380 --> 00:18:59,220
Perfect.

524
00:18:59,220 --> 00:19:02,300
We believe in humanity, so we believe in you.

525
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,740
I connect visionaries to serve humanity.

526
00:19:04,740 --> 00:19:06,340
It's the same answer.

527
00:19:06,340 --> 00:19:07,180
Great.

528
00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:08,000
Exactly.

529
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,980
What's your worst leadership experience ever?

530
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:11,100
And that does not have to be yours.

531
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:12,580
It could be the worst one you've ever seen.

532
00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:16,140
What does that worst leadership experience look like

533
00:19:16,140 --> 00:19:18,820
as a history lesson all of a sudden?

534
00:19:18,820 --> 00:19:19,780
No one's ever asked that.

535
00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:21,500
It's a great question.

536
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:22,540
It's a great question.

537
00:19:24,220 --> 00:19:25,500
It's a two-part answer.

538
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:29,540
One, when I was a journalist

539
00:19:29,540 --> 00:19:32,300
or an entrepreneur, I had to be a journalist.

540
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:34,980
The executive editor would just scream at everyone,

541
00:19:34,980 --> 00:19:38,020
like totally lacking control of anything.

542
00:19:38,020 --> 00:19:41,700
I don't like people yelling and it was frankly scary.

543
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:42,780
So that was...

544
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:46,980
And then from my perspective, I'm not a manager.

545
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:52,820
So I tried to be a manager for not a long time,

546
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,720
but enough time, and I realized I'm not a manager.

547
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,560
Right.

548
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,560
I just, and so like with sec, I'll just get, okay, learn.

549
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,340
So with Second Company, we're about to be named

550
00:20:06,340 --> 00:20:08,380
one of top five masterminds on planet.

551
00:20:08,380 --> 00:20:09,460
I'm very grateful for that.

552
00:20:09,460 --> 00:20:12,300
Most of our members are very wealthy,

553
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:13,820
pure, they're all visionaries.

554
00:20:13,820 --> 00:20:16,120
We won't let anyone in that's not a visionary.

555
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:19,200
Folks around the world are in it.

556
00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:22,860
All I do is appear on shows like this

557
00:20:22,860 --> 00:20:24,460
and talk to visionaries and connect them.

558
00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:28,360
I do nothing backstage, nothing, nothing.

559
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:29,940
My wife is the COO.

560
00:20:29,940 --> 00:20:31,560
She's pure backstage.

561
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,900
My partner for Second Company,

562
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:35,260
he does eight and nine figure deals all day.

563
00:20:35,260 --> 00:20:36,860
The developer and their team,

564
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:39,540
they go to their backstage meetings.

565
00:20:39,540 --> 00:20:40,720
I don't even go to them.

566
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,700
And then they just make fun of me the whole time

567
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:45,780
because of the way my personality is, which is fine.

568
00:20:45,780 --> 00:20:46,620
I like that.

569
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:47,740
Yeah.

570
00:20:47,740 --> 00:20:49,540
And so understanding the difference

571
00:20:49,540 --> 00:20:51,820
between a leader and a manager has been crucial

572
00:20:51,820 --> 00:20:54,860
for the growth of that company.

573
00:20:54,860 --> 00:20:58,260
So, but to answer your question, it's because I'm not,

574
00:20:58,260 --> 00:21:03,260
the worst leadership for me was trying to be a manager

575
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,240
or micromanager.

576
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,400
I'm not, that is not me at all.

577
00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:08,620
Absolutely.

578
00:21:08,620 --> 00:21:09,820
Okay, I get that.

579
00:21:09,820 --> 00:21:12,180
Name top five masterminds by who?

580
00:21:13,140 --> 00:21:15,100
Business Traveler USA Magazine.

581
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:17,020
So they're the magazine that appears

582
00:21:17,020 --> 00:21:19,540
in all the first class airport lounges

583
00:21:19,540 --> 00:21:22,020
and the private airports.

584
00:21:22,020 --> 00:21:23,440
So it's coming out soon.

585
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,460
I've seen the article.

586
00:21:24,460 --> 00:21:25,740
It's very exciting.

587
00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:26,880
That's awesome.

588
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,720
Yeah.

589
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:28,780
People like that like it.

590
00:21:28,780 --> 00:21:32,940
And then most people don't understand.

591
00:21:32,940 --> 00:21:33,780
All right.

592
00:21:33,780 --> 00:21:34,600
Let's see it.

593
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,740
Let's go to the opposite side of that question.

594
00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:38,000
What's the best leadership experience?

595
00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:42,420
What does that look like?

596
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,020
Well, this is why I like doing these

597
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:48,540
after the record button's hit.

598
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:51,980
Cause that's what I actually learn when it's recorded.

599
00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:53,140
I'm more focused.

600
00:21:54,620 --> 00:21:57,380
My father was 61 when I was born.

601
00:21:57,380 --> 00:22:00,020
He was a world war II hero shot down multiple times

602
00:22:00,020 --> 00:22:02,340
in combat, many times without a parachute

603
00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:03,700
and just got back into the plane.

604
00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:05,580
So most people cannot do that.

605
00:22:05,580 --> 00:22:08,260
Just like most people are not, well, they're not visionaries.

606
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:09,300
So they can't do it.

607
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:11,180
They make excuse.

608
00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:13,980
And you're either someone who can do that or you're not.

609
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:19,700
And so he was born in 1916.

610
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:21,500
He was 61 when I was born.

611
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:24,100
He died when I was 13.

612
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:27,940
He became attorney in Nuremberg, Nazi war crime trials.

613
00:22:27,940 --> 00:22:29,180
No excuses.

614
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:30,580
No, no, no, no, no, no.

615
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:34,780
And then every day that he was alive,

616
00:22:34,780 --> 00:22:36,820
he would say the cream rises to the top.

617
00:22:36,820 --> 00:22:38,180
The cream rises to the top.

618
00:22:38,180 --> 00:22:42,140
So true visionary is the cream that rises to the top.

619
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:45,660
No matter what, no excuses.

620
00:22:45,660 --> 00:22:47,820
So that's the best leadership I've seen.

621
00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:52,500
And I'm still receiving that, receiving that actually

622
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:54,780
through my kids, because the oldest one's named after him.

623
00:22:54,780 --> 00:22:56,700
He's a pure machine.

624
00:22:56,700 --> 00:22:57,980
He's a visionary machine.

625
00:22:57,980 --> 00:23:00,940
And then the little guys got whatever my brain is.

626
00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:03,820
And then my wife's kindness and love.

627
00:23:03,820 --> 00:23:05,740
She's a pediatrician as well.

628
00:23:05,740 --> 00:23:08,980
So it's a very interesting mix of brains.

629
00:23:09,820 --> 00:23:10,900
Yeah, definitely.

630
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:16,820
So my grandfather flew spy planes over Germany.

631
00:23:16,820 --> 00:23:17,660
Right.

632
00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:18,500
Interesting that.

633
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:22,660
Did he make excuses?

634
00:23:22,660 --> 00:23:23,700
Oh, heck no.

635
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:28,180
I know, my grandma had Alzheimer's

636
00:23:28,180 --> 00:23:30,780
for the last 10 to 15 years of her life.

637
00:23:30,780 --> 00:23:33,700
And he took care of her all the way to the end.

638
00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:34,540
Right.

639
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:36,580
And that was whether it's changing diapers,

640
00:23:36,580 --> 00:23:38,820
or if I were having to deal with somebody who's fighting you

641
00:23:38,820 --> 00:23:40,900
because they don't know you.

642
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:42,700
The battle of love.

643
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:44,020
You're like him.

644
00:23:44,020 --> 00:23:44,860
You learned that.

645
00:23:44,860 --> 00:23:45,700
Right.

646
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:46,540
So you learned, yeah.

647
00:23:46,540 --> 00:23:50,380
So that makes sense.

648
00:23:50,380 --> 00:23:53,260
And then my dad took us to see RoboCop

649
00:23:53,260 --> 00:23:55,340
when I was eight or nine in Platoon.

650
00:23:55,340 --> 00:23:58,020
So he's talked about childhood.

651
00:23:58,020 --> 00:24:00,180
So you learn from a great war hero

652
00:24:00,180 --> 00:24:03,500
who took care of the love of his life,

653
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,580
even though her brain wasn't really there anymore,

654
00:24:05,580 --> 00:24:07,140
but that didn't matter to him.

655
00:24:07,140 --> 00:24:10,180
And my father met my mom.

656
00:24:11,420 --> 00:24:13,420
Drunk driver hit him head on.

657
00:24:13,420 --> 00:24:14,540
Drunk driver was killed.

658
00:24:14,540 --> 00:24:16,660
My dad broke every bone in his body and survived.

659
00:24:16,660 --> 00:24:17,980
And then my mom was his nurse.

660
00:24:17,980 --> 00:24:19,460
He woke up and thought he was dead.

661
00:24:19,460 --> 00:24:21,860
And my mom was an angel, but it was my mom.

662
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:23,060
She was 27.

663
00:24:24,020 --> 00:24:25,460
27 when I was born.

664
00:24:25,460 --> 00:24:26,980
Well, yeah, I don't believe in randomness.

665
00:24:26,980 --> 00:24:28,700
Things are just meant to be.

666
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:29,540
Right.

667
00:24:29,540 --> 00:24:32,180
So, but again, if you make an excuse,

668
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:34,100
that I don't understand.

669
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:36,580
And I won't, because you have this life,

670
00:24:36,580 --> 00:24:38,460
you have this great day to live.

671
00:24:38,460 --> 00:24:40,620
And if you're your own preventer with excuses,

672
00:24:40,620 --> 00:24:45,620
then you're not living that day with your utmost ability.

673
00:24:45,620 --> 00:24:46,620
Wow.

674
00:24:46,620 --> 00:24:47,460
All right.

675
00:24:48,540 --> 00:24:49,780
What's a powerful lesson?

676
00:24:49,780 --> 00:24:52,820
If this was the last lesson you could share,

677
00:24:52,820 --> 00:24:54,860
what powerful lesson can other visionaries learn

678
00:24:54,860 --> 00:24:56,060
from your experience?

679
00:25:00,220 --> 00:25:02,740
Yeah, the 2000 years ago,

680
00:25:02,740 --> 00:25:04,900
you would have been sitting around Greece

681
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:06,980
with a bunch of people in robes sitting around

682
00:25:06,980 --> 00:25:08,660
listening to this, but that's,

683
00:25:08,660 --> 00:25:11,220
it's going back to 2000 years, but

684
00:25:11,220 --> 00:25:13,140
I've always considered entrepreneurship

685
00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:18,460
like a modern day, so crates or you know what I mean?

686
00:25:18,460 --> 00:25:21,180
Like some of you played or played,

687
00:25:21,180 --> 00:25:23,020
I always kind of thought that.

688
00:25:23,020 --> 00:25:25,380
Cause again, entrepreneurs are the most damaged people

689
00:25:25,380 --> 00:25:28,740
with the best coping skills, the highest IQ EQ.

690
00:25:28,740 --> 00:25:31,620
They have an ability that most people don't have.

691
00:25:31,620 --> 00:25:33,660
And then if you can, if you have that,

692
00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:35,700
if you're born like that,

693
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:38,700
then you can work on your mindset every day.

694
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:43,540
And all I do is just spend time working on my mindset,

695
00:25:43,540 --> 00:25:45,100
visionary abundance investment,

696
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:46,660
visionary abundance investment.

697
00:25:46,660 --> 00:25:49,300
But I guess to answer your question

698
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:51,220
in regards to that background,

699
00:25:51,220 --> 00:25:53,180
I'm a dad who happens to be an entrepreneur

700
00:25:53,180 --> 00:25:55,300
or not an entrepreneur who happens to be a dad.

701
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:57,060
So I would never let entrepreneur life

702
00:25:57,060 --> 00:25:58,060
destroy my family.

703
00:25:58,980 --> 00:26:01,620
You cut out there a little bit at the end.

704
00:26:01,620 --> 00:26:02,940
You would never let-

705
00:26:02,940 --> 00:26:05,300
Entrepreneur life, so okay.

706
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:08,940
I would never let entrepreneur life destroy my family life.

707
00:26:08,940 --> 00:26:10,740
So the reason why I wrote Epic Life,

708
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:13,420
which is how to build collaborative global companies

709
00:26:13,420 --> 00:26:15,260
while putting your loved ones first.

710
00:26:18,740 --> 00:26:20,820
We were talking about books earlier.

711
00:26:21,740 --> 00:26:23,900
Talk is meaningless to me without an answer,

712
00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:26,980
but so it was number one for sales overall on Amazon,

713
00:26:26,980 --> 00:26:28,740
not one of the little categories.

714
00:26:28,740 --> 00:26:30,900
And then it was, you know,

715
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:33,460
Wall Street Journal and all that stuff, which is fine.

716
00:26:33,460 --> 00:26:36,180
But like, if you're gonna do something, do it.

717
00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:39,020
But the reason why I wrote the book

718
00:26:39,020 --> 00:26:40,940
is because I talked to one to two visionaries

719
00:26:40,940 --> 00:26:43,100
every single week that have let entrepreneur life

720
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:45,140
destroy their family life

721
00:26:45,140 --> 00:26:46,820
or prevented them from having a family

722
00:26:46,820 --> 00:26:48,900
because they have the best coping skills,

723
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:50,100
the highest IQ EQ,

724
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:51,940
and they use that to create all this stuff.

725
00:26:51,940 --> 00:26:53,620
And then they torch their family

726
00:26:53,620 --> 00:26:55,540
or never have one in the process.

727
00:26:55,540 --> 00:26:57,420
So that's what it is.

728
00:26:58,580 --> 00:27:00,260
It is what it is.

729
00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:03,420
And the same thing is true of many executives

730
00:27:03,420 --> 00:27:05,260
in the corporate America world as well.

731
00:27:05,260 --> 00:27:06,100
Correct.

732
00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:09,100
You know, where, or a business, you know, it depends.

733
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:11,060
Like, you know, you could say families first,

734
00:27:11,060 --> 00:27:15,500
but if you look at your time spent, right?

735
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,460
And what your time is spent on,

736
00:27:17,460 --> 00:27:20,380
right, and use that as a measuring stick,

737
00:27:20,380 --> 00:27:22,820
it likely tells a very different story

738
00:27:22,820 --> 00:27:26,660
of what's first in your life in terms of your priorities.

739
00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:29,740
So is that the measuring stick that you go by

740
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:32,140
or are there other metrics that you can stick?

741
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:34,380
So metrics, you're a learning man.

742
00:27:34,380 --> 00:27:37,420
Okay, here's my, this is my, this is my metric.

743
00:27:37,420 --> 00:27:40,060
It's very simple and I'm 100% black and white.

744
00:27:40,060 --> 00:27:42,380
My wife is 100% gray, which is good.

745
00:27:42,380 --> 00:27:46,100
She's harmony one in strength finders, harmony.

746
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:49,220
I am 31 out of 34, so she's collaborative,

747
00:27:49,220 --> 00:27:50,140
collaborative harmony.

748
00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:53,020
And then my partner who does eight and nine figure deals

749
00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:55,700
all day, he's empathy three in strength finders.

750
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:57,260
I'm 34 out of 34.

751
00:27:57,260 --> 00:27:59,820
So he's collaborative empathy.

752
00:27:59,820 --> 00:28:02,140
So all these weaknesses are an opportunity

753
00:28:02,140 --> 00:28:04,940
to find a collaborative, collaborative strength.

754
00:28:04,940 --> 00:28:07,460
So here's my black and white answer to your question

755
00:28:07,460 --> 00:28:10,700
based on my total lack of empathy, except for visionaries.

756
00:28:11,980 --> 00:28:14,660
If I talk to someone, if I talk to someone

757
00:28:14,660 --> 00:28:16,740
and I know that I can add value to them

758
00:28:16,740 --> 00:28:18,660
and they can add value to me and they're a visionary,

759
00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:20,900
I will talk to them forever because they allow me

760
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:23,140
to spend more time with my family.

761
00:28:23,140 --> 00:28:24,460
They have the right connections

762
00:28:24,460 --> 00:28:26,020
and make the right investments to allow me

763
00:28:26,020 --> 00:28:27,900
to spend more time with my family, okay?

764
00:28:27,900 --> 00:28:28,820
So that's one.

765
00:28:28,820 --> 00:28:31,900
Two, if I talk to someone and they're not a visionary

766
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:34,180
and they're gonna take time away from me and my family,

767
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:37,140
I will never talk to them ever, never.

768
00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:42,620
And that directness eliminates people that make excuses

769
00:28:42,620 --> 00:28:44,580
and it attracts the top people on the planet

770
00:28:44,580 --> 00:28:47,340
or the ones that will become one of those people.

771
00:28:47,340 --> 00:28:48,260
It's very simple.

772
00:28:50,660 --> 00:28:54,620
All right, and so, man, there are so many questions.

773
00:28:54,620 --> 00:28:57,460
I wanna- Learn, oh my God, what can I learn?

774
00:28:57,460 --> 00:29:02,380
Yes, my brain's like, which path do I take first

775
00:29:02,380 --> 00:29:03,700
for the most knowledge?

776
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:04,780
There's only one path.

777
00:29:05,940 --> 00:29:07,580
There's only one path, what is it?

778
00:29:07,580 --> 00:29:09,620
For me, there's only one path, family and networks.

779
00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:10,660
That's it.

780
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:15,660
Well, see, and my path, there's the selfish side of,

781
00:29:15,740 --> 00:29:17,580
man, I wanna learn so much in this for myself.

782
00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:18,420
Not selfish.

783
00:29:18,420 --> 00:29:20,460
If you're not a litmus test for the people you serve,

784
00:29:20,460 --> 00:29:21,300
you're a hypocrite.

785
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:24,020
So I connect visionaries to serve humanity.

786
00:29:24,020 --> 00:29:25,620
I'm a connector serving humanity.

787
00:29:25,620 --> 00:29:26,460
I'm a visionary.

788
00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:28,540
So I'm just- Well, my other side is, man,

789
00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:30,460
what do I want my audience to learn on this?

790
00:29:30,460 --> 00:29:32,820
You know, like, which one do I wanna go?

791
00:29:32,820 --> 00:29:34,460
Go ahead, Justin, hit it.

792
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:37,260
It's up to them to stick or, no, no, no, no, no.

793
00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:38,820
That's up to them.

794
00:29:38,820 --> 00:29:40,580
That's up to them.

795
00:29:40,580 --> 00:29:42,100
Absolutely, okay.

796
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:46,460
Then since I got the family thing going pretty well,

797
00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:47,300
and a lot of people are in there-

798
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:48,940
Did you marry a stabilizing human?

799
00:29:48,940 --> 00:29:51,500
Did you marry a stabilizing human?

800
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:52,980
No, no, no, no.

801
00:29:52,980 --> 00:29:55,140
I don't wanna call out any humans I did marry.

802
00:29:55,140 --> 00:30:00,140
I'm twice divorced, but my focus is on my four children.

803
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:03,740
I believe in that DAD is greater than CEO.

804
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:05,780
That's my statement on Facebook.

805
00:30:05,780 --> 00:30:07,500
And that's what I aim for is,

806
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:09,620
this point, man, I'm married to my children.

807
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:13,140
Were your two previous wives, were they stabilizing humans?

808
00:30:14,740 --> 00:30:19,740
The mothers of my children, I will refrain to comment,

809
00:30:19,780 --> 00:30:22,100
but they're important.

810
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:23,340
Okay, well, okay.

811
00:30:23,340 --> 00:30:25,500
You don't have to say, I'm trying to learn.

812
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:27,500
I'm trying to learn because here's the answer.

813
00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:28,860
Here's the answer.

814
00:30:28,860 --> 00:30:31,580
People like us usually marry stabilizing humans.

815
00:30:31,580 --> 00:30:32,660
Not always usually.

816
00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:35,060
One of two things happens when that happens.

817
00:30:35,060 --> 00:30:39,980
One, the situation I'm in where my wife is very high achiever,

818
00:30:39,980 --> 00:30:44,980
very high IQ, but warm, loving pediatrician, stabilizer.

819
00:30:45,020 --> 00:30:48,740
So one, the stabilizing human is the biggest supporter

820
00:30:48,740 --> 00:30:50,900
of the visionary and evolves with them.

821
00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:52,700
So she's the COO of Second Coming.

822
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:55,740
So, and two, which I hear more often,

823
00:30:55,740 --> 00:30:59,100
the stabilizing human is a preventer, anchor,

824
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:02,260
gets very angry, resentful of the visionary

825
00:31:02,260 --> 00:31:04,460
because the visionary is not gonna change being a visionary.

826
00:31:04,460 --> 00:31:06,660
And no matter what, it ends horribly.

827
00:31:06,660 --> 00:31:08,020
Stay married, it ends horribly.

828
00:31:08,020 --> 00:31:08,860
It doesn't matter.

829
00:31:08,860 --> 00:31:09,820
Don't stay married, it ends horribly.

830
00:31:09,820 --> 00:31:14,820
Okay, two, people like us sometimes marry people like us.

831
00:31:14,860 --> 00:31:16,100
One of two things happens.

832
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:19,220
One, greatest life imaginable, traveling the world.

833
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:20,340
Right.

834
00:31:20,340 --> 00:31:23,300
More often than not, Thelma and Louise driving off the quip.

835
00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:24,140
No stability.

836
00:31:25,460 --> 00:31:27,700
So you don't have to answer based on your situation,

837
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:29,700
but that's the pattern.

838
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:30,540
That's what happened.

839
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:31,700
Well said.

840
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:34,340
And so I think I had both.

841
00:31:34,340 --> 00:31:36,940
Both experiences, got to learn in both.

842
00:31:37,820 --> 00:31:39,540
Different lessons from each.

843
00:31:39,540 --> 00:31:42,900
Right, so the question I have for you though,

844
00:31:42,900 --> 00:31:44,820
in regards to your relationship with your wife

845
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:46,020
and in regards to the relationship

846
00:31:46,020 --> 00:31:47,540
with your business partner,

847
00:31:47,540 --> 00:31:50,860
that Harmony's high in one, Empathy's high in the other.

848
00:31:50,860 --> 00:31:54,900
How do you guys, what does Harmony look like?

849
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:57,340
And when you come to a point of conflict,

850
00:31:57,340 --> 00:31:59,020
how does that overcome?

851
00:31:59,020 --> 00:32:01,660
I don't go to their meetings, no conflict.

852
00:32:01,660 --> 00:32:03,260
Let's get out of that.

853
00:32:03,260 --> 00:32:04,460
I'm not a manager.

854
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:08,100
Okay, so does that mean that your relationship

855
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:10,740
with your wife, y'all basically,

856
00:32:11,940 --> 00:32:13,900
there's obviously order that exists there,

857
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:17,220
but the order of the relationship is more natural?

858
00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:18,420
Okay, great question.

859
00:32:20,420 --> 00:32:23,380
That'd be nice if my wife was here because-

860
00:32:23,380 --> 00:32:24,220
Let's bring her back.

861
00:32:24,220 --> 00:32:25,780
Literally, she's the kindest,

862
00:32:25,780 --> 00:32:27,980
like literally the nicest person on the planet.

863
00:32:27,980 --> 00:32:32,980
And the way I am and communicate

864
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:37,020
is literally a trigger for her.

865
00:32:37,020 --> 00:32:39,060
There's a thing called print or Enneagram,

866
00:32:39,060 --> 00:32:40,700
it's your unconscious motivators.

867
00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:43,860
And I'm very direct and my wife wants to be needed

868
00:32:43,860 --> 00:32:46,740
and appreciated and feel safe and secure.

869
00:32:46,740 --> 00:32:49,620
So fully my responsibility, my fault.

870
00:32:49,620 --> 00:32:53,460
I create problems with that because I'm so direct.

871
00:32:53,460 --> 00:32:56,860
So, because I'm very aware of that, very aware,

872
00:32:56,860 --> 00:32:59,220
the first thing I do every single day,

873
00:32:59,220 --> 00:33:01,940
every day is a grateful journal to my wife.

874
00:33:01,940 --> 00:33:04,900
Every single day, first thing I do.

875
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:06,820
And that gets me in the habit

876
00:33:06,820 --> 00:33:08,980
because the most important thing for her

877
00:33:08,980 --> 00:33:11,060
is for someone to say thank you to her.

878
00:33:11,060 --> 00:33:14,580
So it gets me in the habit, no matter what she does,

879
00:33:14,580 --> 00:33:16,860
say thank you, say thank you, say thank you,

880
00:33:16,860 --> 00:33:19,700
say thank you, say thank you, say thank you.

881
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:24,380
And the other thing, we met online

882
00:33:24,380 --> 00:33:26,740
the day before she started medical school.

883
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:28,780
That was almost 20 years ago.

884
00:33:29,940 --> 00:33:31,700
It was almost 20 years ago.

885
00:33:32,660 --> 00:33:37,660
And I think there's a mutual respect

886
00:33:37,660 --> 00:33:42,660
and understanding of each other in that regard.

887
00:33:42,940 --> 00:33:46,740
Like, I think if there's anything similar

888
00:33:46,740 --> 00:33:48,940
to entrepreneurship, it's going through medical school,

889
00:33:48,940 --> 00:33:50,740
I'd be the worst doctor of all time.

890
00:33:50,740 --> 00:33:53,180
Like, my bedside manner is not good.

891
00:33:53,180 --> 00:33:54,700
Oh, you got a cold?

892
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:57,580
Okay, well, what do you want me to do about it?

893
00:33:57,580 --> 00:33:59,460
But that would not be good for that.

894
00:33:59,460 --> 00:34:02,500
So, okay, stop crying.

895
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:05,460
But if there's any other questions,

896
00:34:05,460 --> 00:34:09,100
but if there's anything comparable to entrepreneurship,

897
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:11,100
it's going through medical school, I saw.

898
00:34:13,340 --> 00:34:16,340
And so there's a great deal of respect there,

899
00:34:16,340 --> 00:34:17,940
a great deal of respect.

900
00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:22,980
And the most rewarding part of this journey for me,

901
00:34:22,980 --> 00:34:25,660
besides having the children and seeing them,

902
00:34:26,820 --> 00:34:30,700
learn all these amazing things and what they do with it.

903
00:34:30,700 --> 00:34:32,300
And they're already bigger visionaries than me,

904
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:34,460
but it's to see my wife's evolution.

905
00:34:34,460 --> 00:34:37,020
And I never thought she would start to phase out

906
00:34:37,020 --> 00:34:40,860
of pediatrics to become COO of a visionary only company.

907
00:34:40,860 --> 00:34:44,820
I mean, I never, I just didn't think that would happen.

908
00:34:45,980 --> 00:34:48,140
But that's the beautiful joy in life

909
00:34:48,140 --> 00:34:51,180
is when you take action and don't make excuses,

910
00:34:51,180 --> 00:34:54,420
people will either come along with that

911
00:34:54,420 --> 00:34:57,580
or they'll make excuses and not come along with that.

912
00:34:57,580 --> 00:34:59,260
And then they fall away.

913
00:34:59,260 --> 00:35:03,540
But my wife is the, it's really exciting to see.

914
00:35:03,540 --> 00:35:05,980
I'm just really proud of her, really proud of her.

915
00:35:08,540 --> 00:35:09,980
All right, 20 years.

916
00:35:11,460 --> 00:35:13,580
I can't imagine that on day one,

917
00:35:13,580 --> 00:35:17,260
you figured out this Grateful Journal aspect of life.

918
00:35:17,260 --> 00:35:21,260
So how did you guys get there to where you figured that out?

919
00:35:21,260 --> 00:35:22,740
I imagine in the beginning,

920
00:35:22,740 --> 00:35:26,460
there was some type of conflict or reality that occurred.

921
00:35:26,460 --> 00:35:27,300
Well, that's it.

922
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:28,780
Do you realize that?

923
00:35:28,780 --> 00:35:31,540
So when you date a doctor or someone in medical school,

924
00:35:31,540 --> 00:35:33,060
there's no time for conflict there.

925
00:35:33,060 --> 00:35:34,140
You don't date anyone.

926
00:35:35,660 --> 00:35:37,580
So there was no dating.

927
00:35:37,580 --> 00:35:39,500
There was no dating and then we had children.

928
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:41,740
We became international dating experts,

929
00:35:41,740 --> 00:35:42,620
which is really funny.

930
00:35:42,620 --> 00:35:46,100
We were like on the Today Show and stuff in 2018.

931
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:51,100
We went out, I think it's 52 weeks, 52dates.com or something.

932
00:35:51,340 --> 00:35:54,140
The website still exists, but it was hilarious.

933
00:35:55,860 --> 00:35:59,860
Cause we, one of the very few great ideas I had was like,

934
00:35:59,860 --> 00:36:01,220
oh, we need to go out once a week

935
00:36:01,220 --> 00:36:04,300
without the kids for all of 2018.

936
00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:06,380
So that became an international story,

937
00:36:06,380 --> 00:36:07,500
which is pretty funny.

938
00:36:10,660 --> 00:36:13,900
I told my wife a week after we started dating

939
00:36:13,900 --> 00:36:14,740
that I loved her.

940
00:36:14,740 --> 00:36:16,780
I would have told her the first day,

941
00:36:16,780 --> 00:36:18,620
but I waited a week to tell her.

942
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:22,100
So I already knew, like you know, I'm an activator.

943
00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:23,460
I didn't need to learn that I loved her.

944
00:36:23,460 --> 00:36:24,900
I already knew.

945
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:28,980
But learning about her unconscious motivators

946
00:36:28,980 --> 00:36:31,180
that she needs to be needed and appreciated,

947
00:36:31,180 --> 00:36:34,460
I didn't learn that until a couple of years ago.

948
00:36:34,460 --> 00:36:37,620
I didn't know her Colby score until a couple of years ago.

949
00:36:37,620 --> 00:36:40,260
Even though like I knew what it probably would be,

950
00:36:40,260 --> 00:36:44,380
I didn't know it in a number or keyword way

951
00:36:44,380 --> 00:36:45,940
until a couple of years ago.

952
00:36:45,940 --> 00:36:48,220
And then the Grateful Journal started

953
00:36:49,740 --> 00:36:52,820
right in the middle of 2020 COVID.

954
00:36:55,940 --> 00:36:57,340
Just being at home with her more.

955
00:36:57,340 --> 00:36:59,740
So, but again, life is an evolution.

956
00:36:59,740 --> 00:37:00,580
That's what I mean.

957
00:37:00,580 --> 00:37:02,980
I think you're either born with the ability to do this

958
00:37:02,980 --> 00:37:06,500
and then you can work on that mindset every single day.

959
00:37:07,980 --> 00:37:09,500
So you do agree that it's kind of,

960
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:11,820
it's like a muscle then, a strength that can be built.

961
00:37:11,820 --> 00:37:14,780
It's 100% like a muscle, absolutely.

962
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:19,100
Okay, good.

963
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:22,100
And then tell me about the book.

964
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:23,220
Let's hear about that.

965
00:37:24,340 --> 00:37:25,260
Epic Life.

966
00:37:26,540 --> 00:37:29,340
You got, I got two on the Google there.

967
00:37:29,340 --> 00:37:30,180
You know what I mean?

968
00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:31,020
Yeah, there's one.

969
00:37:33,020 --> 00:37:34,900
Oh, well, the entire epic,

970
00:37:34,900 --> 00:37:37,580
epic businesses for those who are starting a business

971
00:37:37,580 --> 00:37:38,860
with zero business background

972
00:37:38,860 --> 00:37:41,180
and then they wanna create a global company

973
00:37:41,180 --> 00:37:43,100
with zero business background.

974
00:37:44,540 --> 00:37:47,860
Cause I don't even know what an S corp is.

975
00:37:47,860 --> 00:37:49,500
I don't wanna know, do not tell me.

976
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:50,660
I don't wanna learn that.

977
00:37:50,660 --> 00:37:53,220
I know you already know what that is,

978
00:37:53,220 --> 00:37:55,300
but don't tell me.

979
00:37:55,300 --> 00:37:56,940
The, thank you.

980
00:37:56,940 --> 00:37:58,820
I don't have to be dangerous.

981
00:37:58,820 --> 00:38:01,260
I don't touch subjects that are not my own.

982
00:38:01,260 --> 00:38:03,700
I'm anti-learning, see, I'm anti-learning.

983
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:05,100
You're anti-learning, huh?

984
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:07,100
I learned that I don't wanna learn certain things,

985
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:08,300
which is really cool.

986
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:13,300
But the epic life book, I'm very, very, very grateful

987
00:38:14,140 --> 00:38:16,740
that Dr. Peter Diamandis wrote the foreword.

988
00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:19,100
He's one of the top entrepreneurs on the planet.

989
00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:21,420
Very confident saying that.

990
00:38:21,420 --> 00:38:23,140
So he doesn't usually do that.

991
00:38:23,140 --> 00:38:25,900
And then people like him like me

992
00:38:25,900 --> 00:38:29,660
and they like that I connect them to other people like that.

993
00:38:31,620 --> 00:38:36,140
But basically, all right, I'll relate to your brain now.

994
00:38:36,140 --> 00:38:39,540
So I'm very low in ideation.

995
00:38:39,540 --> 00:38:42,420
32 out of 34 on strength finders and that.

996
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:45,140
Most of the people I talk to are top five in that.

997
00:38:45,140 --> 00:38:46,940
So they're ADD, they're all over the place.

998
00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:49,500
Shiny object, shiny object, shiny.

999
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:52,580
And then most of my day is talking to people like that.

1000
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:55,460
And then maybe once or twice a month,

1001
00:38:55,460 --> 00:38:59,020
someone like that will say something truly transformational

1002
00:38:59,020 --> 00:39:03,300
and I'll write it down and it becomes a list.

1003
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:06,220
And then that list turns into chapters of book.

1004
00:39:06,220 --> 00:39:11,220
So it takes two years-ish to get enough ideas

1005
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:15,260
and then I can write a book very fast.

1006
00:39:16,220 --> 00:39:18,660
It just takes years to get that.

1007
00:39:18,660 --> 00:39:22,460
Because it has to, because I'm so low in ideation,

1008
00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:24,180
I'll know if it's a great idea.

1009
00:39:24,180 --> 00:39:25,900
Most ideas, they're not good.

1010
00:39:27,060 --> 00:39:29,580
So, but I'll know if it's a really great one

1011
00:39:29,580 --> 00:39:30,980
then I'll write it down.

1012
00:39:30,980 --> 00:39:33,740
And then my strength finders are activate maximizing.

1013
00:39:33,740 --> 00:39:36,380
She is like, oh, there's a great idea.

1014
00:39:36,380 --> 00:39:37,740
Let's write something about that.

1015
00:39:37,740 --> 00:39:40,460
And then, oh, here's another person I talked to

1016
00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:42,900
that has torched their family or never has a family

1017
00:39:42,900 --> 00:39:44,380
or never had one or never sees them.

1018
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:46,220
Like that's a bad idea, I'm not gonna do it.

1019
00:39:46,220 --> 00:39:49,500
So each one of those chapters is like,

1020
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:51,740
how to put your family first

1021
00:39:51,740 --> 00:39:53,820
and build collaborative global companies.

1022
00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:57,220
And that was written before my wife decided

1023
00:39:57,220 --> 00:39:59,700
to join the second company as COO.

1024
00:39:59,700 --> 00:40:01,700
So it was almost like a roadmap for her too,

1025
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:03,100
which is really interesting.

1026
00:40:04,580 --> 00:40:05,400
For sure.

1027
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,100
Okay, so Mark Fujiwara, did I say his last name right?

1028
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:10,140
You did.

1029
00:40:10,140 --> 00:40:10,980
Woo!

1030
00:40:10,980 --> 00:40:11,820
No one's ever said that.

1031
00:40:11,820 --> 00:40:12,660
All right, speaking more like that.

1032
00:40:12,660 --> 00:40:13,940
That way, yeah.

1033
00:40:13,940 --> 00:40:15,740
And so how'd you guys meet?

1034
00:40:15,740 --> 00:40:19,780
How'd that process come to be where you were like,

1035
00:40:19,780 --> 00:40:21,300
hey, let's work, let's partner out.

1036
00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:24,220
All the people I met, let's do this.

1037
00:40:24,220 --> 00:40:25,780
Okay.

1038
00:40:25,780 --> 00:40:28,540
So Mark and I have known each other

1039
00:40:28,540 --> 00:40:29,940
for almost three years now.

1040
00:40:29,940 --> 00:40:31,660
We've met two times in person.

1041
00:40:31,660 --> 00:40:34,420
He's in San Francisco, I'm in Chicago.

1042
00:40:34,420 --> 00:40:35,860
Okay, two times in person.

1043
00:40:36,980 --> 00:40:41,100
We met virtually in a group called Strategic Coach.

1044
00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:42,200
I'm very confident.

1045
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,940
It's one of the top entrepreneur groups on planet.

1046
00:40:44,940 --> 00:40:46,740
Very grateful to be a part of that.

1047
00:40:46,740 --> 00:40:51,600
We met in COVID, right at the start of COVID.

1048
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,040
And at the time,

1049
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,120
Brepik Network, which is the company,

1050
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,440
that's what it's called,

1051
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:04,320
it was in my head, but again, I'm not a manager.

1052
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,040
I can't build a SaaS.

1053
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,560
What Brepik Network is,

1054
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,680
is it's basically LinkedIn for visionaries.

1055
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,280
It's a high price point invite only connectivity platform

1056
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,120
for visionaries.

1057
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,840
I mean, I can barely tie my shoes.

1058
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,360
I can't build a SaaS platform.

1059
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:19,200
I can't.

1060
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,000
So I needed a partner.

1061
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,360
So Mark and I had met in Strategic Coach

1062
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,120
and then Strategic Coach has a,

1063
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,840
it's like not an assessment,

1064
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,000
but like a tool called an impact filter.

1065
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,640
And so you fill out all these things that need to be true.

1066
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,860
And then it's the only time I've ever filled

1067
00:41:38,860 --> 00:41:41,520
one of those things out and started sending it to people.

1068
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:46,240
So I sent it to some people that I trusted or liked,

1069
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:47,640
and Mark was one of them.

1070
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,040
And Mark is a very high quick start visionary,

1071
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,640
very high quick start.

1072
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:52,840
And he can build anything.

1073
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,680
He can use his hands to build anything.

1074
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,000
So he looked at the impact though,

1075
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,560
he's like, oh, let's do that.

1076
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:58,400
I'm like, okay.

1077
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,520
So that was two years ago now,

1078
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,960
a little over two years ago.

1079
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:08,120
And then earlier, well, not earlier this year,

1080
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,760
in 2023, my wife's like,

1081
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,640
hey, what if I phased out of pediatrics

1082
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,200
and become CEO of the company?

1083
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,520
Like, okay.

1084
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:15,840
So there we are.

1085
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,840
That was my leadership.

1086
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,000
Okay, great.

1087
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:21,960
Right.

1088
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,720
How many team members did you have at the time?

1089
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:26,600
When my wife decided to join?

1090
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:29,960
Are you nodding?

1091
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,120
Cause I never look at the screen in this.

1092
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:31,960
Yes.

1093
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:32,780
Okay. Yeah.

1094
00:42:32,780 --> 00:42:33,620
So I'm not.

1095
00:42:33,620 --> 00:42:34,460
No, good idea.

1096
00:42:34,460 --> 00:42:35,640
I should have been vocal anyway.

1097
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:36,480
Oh no.

1098
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:37,320
Oh yeah.

1099
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,360
Well, yeah, that wasn't like,

1100
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,560
I don't look at things.

1101
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,880
So I don't, again, my partner would be staring at this

1102
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,680
cause he sees things in a physical space.

1103
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,160
I don't, but before my wife joined,

1104
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,080
we had actual team members.

1105
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,160
It was just me and Mark really,

1106
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:59,460
but now she's helped find a development team.

1107
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,040
She just hired her first person.

1108
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:06,000
So you said, okay.

1109
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,260
And Mark just said, okay.

1110
00:43:07,260 --> 00:43:08,100
He was like, I'm into.

1111
00:43:08,100 --> 00:43:10,960
This is a nine quick start with a, he's a one fact finder.

1112
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,200
He's a one fact.

1113
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,680
I'm an eight, but I don't, I don't need facts.

1114
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,560
I need patterns.

1115
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,400
So I take it.

1116
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,000
She more runs the HR at this point.

1117
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,540
My wife?

1118
00:43:22,540 --> 00:43:26,160
Like she, she's more in charge of the HR side than.

1119
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:27,520
I don't do any of that.

1120
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,360
Yeah. Okay.

1121
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,200
I figured.

1122
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,600
I don't care about any human race.

1123
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,440
No, no, no.

1124
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:32,280
She, no, no.

1125
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:33,100
No, no.

1126
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:36,720
I don't even think.

1127
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:39,680
And then, and then.

1128
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:40,520
I think it's great.

1129
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:41,920
I like that you're repulsive.

1130
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,880
You're, you're, you're what you don't go, go for it

1131
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,620
because it makes it far easier to delegate.

1132
00:43:47,620 --> 00:43:48,680
Not a manager.

1133
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,000
I don't delegate anything.

1134
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,000
I don't, I don't even know what that the.

1135
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,660
Or to let go, to let go.

1136
00:43:53,660 --> 00:43:54,500
Right.

1137
00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:56,920
We're trying to convince you to do something.

1138
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:57,760
Nope.

1139
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:58,600
Not, not.

1140
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,560
I tried to do that once and that went horribly wrong.

1141
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,600
And then, so this is in the Epic life book.

1142
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,560
So my, my dad's brother who unfortunately has passed away

1143
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,360
but he was the last living green brother.

1144
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:11,980
They were all, there were four of them.

1145
00:44:11,980 --> 00:44:14,380
They were all war heroes and no excuses.

1146
00:44:14,380 --> 00:44:16,380
So he was born in 1918.

1147
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:18,620
Same Stan.

1148
00:44:18,620 --> 00:44:20,520
He, he was able to meet my wife.

1149
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,400
My dad obviously was not able to.

1150
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,340
Uncle Stan and his wife, Aunt Fran,

1151
00:44:26,340 --> 00:44:28,960
they were married for like 70 years.

1152
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,640
And so he got to meet my wife.

1153
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:35,640
And then, so my wife and I got married May 4th, 2008.

1154
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,520
And then I called Uncle Stan.

1155
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,780
I called Uncle Stan.

1156
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,600
He couldn't, he was too old to fly up to,

1157
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:47,440
he was in Florida.

1158
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,560
So he was too old to fly up for the wedding in Illinois.

1159
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,480
But I'm like, hey, what's your,

1160
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,920
what is your, like what's been the key

1161
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,160
to your successful marriage?

1162
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,040
So he told me two things.

1163
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,880
And he was again married to 70 years.

1164
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,760
And he's like a Caltech level, MIT level brain,

1165
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,000
like that intelligent.

1166
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,720
He's an inventor, was an inventor.

1167
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:16,120
His wife was also valedictorian of high school and college.

1168
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,600
So these are very, very smart people.

1169
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,960
So he said two things, two things.

1170
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,360
One, always put my wife's name is Sarah,

1171
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,720
always put Sarah's needs before yours.

1172
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:30,000
Always put, okay, good, all right.

1173
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,720
Two, never touch the thermostat, never touch the thermos.

1174
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:39,320
So all the backstage meetings of my company thermostat,

1175
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:40,800
don't touch it, don't touch it.

1176
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,600
Nope, don't even think about HR, don't touch that.

1177
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,560
Never touch the controls.

1178
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,240
Never touch it, never touch it.

1179
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:55,240
Wow, that's a brilliant, I'm gonna ponder on that.

1180
00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:57,200
I'm gonna ponder on that.

1181
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,000
Well, you're gonna ponder on that.

1182
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,720
You're gonna marinate the heck out of that.

1183
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:05,480
You're gonna marinate this discussion every syllable.

1184
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,440
Do you really mean that?

1185
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,160
Yep, that's a lot of self-sacrifice.

1186
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,640
But that's not selfish.

1187
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,840
That's, if you're learning, if you-

1188
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,640
No, no, no, it's self-sacrifice, it's the opposite.

1189
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,280
Like 100%.

1190
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:21,560
If you can't help yourself first,

1191
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,360
how are you supposed to help other people?

1192
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:24,200
Impossible.

1193
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,360
I guess it is possible.

1194
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,920
Well, putting your wife's needs first though,

1195
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,600
that's what the first point.

1196
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,240
Yes, but that makes me better.

1197
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:33,440
That helps me.

1198
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,800
Right, and when it's, to shift that mindset,

1199
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,720
some people will have to make a shift in that mindset

1200
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:42,680
to realize that that's the case.

1201
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,080
So you're either born with the capacity to do that

1202
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,320
or you're not, and if you are,

1203
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,600
then I work on my mindset every day.

1204
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:52,040
Yep, and then there's one of my buddies.

1205
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,200
She's a nine-quick start.

1206
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,560
She's had 26 surgeries, should be dead,

1207
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,320
but she's not dead, she's alive.

1208
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,360
And then she has a global movement to talk about

1209
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,560
that she's not dead, and that she has three young kids.

1210
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,360
And then we were taught, her name's Sarah Harkness.

1211
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,160
She's great, she's in Australia.

1212
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,400
That doesn't matter, but I guess it does,

1213
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:10,360
but it doesn't.

1214
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,120
So like, because the right mindset attracts right network,

1215
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,160
creates right opportunities.

1216
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:16,640
But anyway, she was talking about,

1217
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,600
there are two types of geniuses, two types.

1218
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:20,880
Two types.

1219
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,760
One is the genius brain.

1220
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:27,600
So the genius brain, you know, they're geniuses.

1221
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,000
Most of those folks do not have a genius heart.

1222
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,360
That is the other type of people.

1223
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,240
So the genius brain creates all this stuff,

1224
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:36,960
but they don't have any, they don't believe in,

1225
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,320
they don't have the humanity of any,

1226
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,400
they don't understand the world, cyborgs.

1227
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,200
Then there's the genius heart,

1228
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,880
the hippie on the street corner,

1229
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,320
the person playing the guitar, the kumbaya.

1230
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,440
So they have the genius heart, very nice people,

1231
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:53,920
but they don't have the genius brain.

1232
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,160
So they can't mechanize that genius heart

1233
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,200
to the best of their ability.

1234
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,600
It's when you combine the genius brain and the genius heart,

1235
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,680
that's when you get the true visionary.

1236
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,240
That's when you get the true visionary.

1237
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:08,480
That's why I don't think most people are born like this.

1238
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,400
I don't think most people are born,

1239
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,560
certainly most people aren't born with a genius brain.

1240
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,480
They're definitely, I mean, they're not.

1241
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,520
They look at IQ scores.

1242
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:17,480
That's fair.

1243
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,120
Okay, and then a lot of people are born

1244
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,120
with a genius heart, but then, you know,

1245
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:23,920
they're like, oh, kumbaya, kumbaya,

1246
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,600
but they don't have, they can't do anything with that.

1247
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,000
They don't have the capital

1248
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,600
or the network to do anything with it.

1249
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,720
Combining those two things.

1250
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:36,240
All right, big question, a big awkward question,

1251
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,480
but it just won't leave my brain.

1252
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,800
And I know we're over, but this is, it just matters to me.

1253
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,720
So we got Adam Sandler, right?

1254
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:46,360
Adam Sandler's got a newer movie.

1255
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:47,200
It's called Leo.

1256
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,000
My little girl loves it.

1257
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,240
And in it, he sings a song to this little girl.

1258
00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:53,400
He's a little lizard and he sings this, you know,

1259
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,320
typical crass Adam Sandler song,

1260
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,160
but it's about her crying.

1261
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,440
He's like, don't cry, dry your eyes.

1262
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,000
You know, crying is for wimps.

1263
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,360
You know, we don't, stop blubbering, you know,

1264
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:04,840
like it's not gonna help you.

1265
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,560
And you kind of mentioned that earlier about the,

1266
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,640
like don't cry, like in the doctor scenario.

1267
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,360
Do you think that there's,

1268
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,760
is this something that's within the Jewish culture as well

1269
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:23,760
in terms of like, hey, like we're resilient as our nature

1270
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,560
or did this happen to be that you and Adam Sandler

1271
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,680
both share Judaism as part of your background?

1272
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,960
So it's a tremendous question.

1273
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,080
And I appreciate that.

1274
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,320
My brain simplifies everything into patterns, everything,

1275
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,000
every talking to top visioners.

1276
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,360
So I was raised Jewish.

1277
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:45,920
I get, my wife is Jewish.

1278
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:47,600
Our kids are Jewish, I guess.

1279
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,360
And then your LDS, I talked to LDS, Latter Day Saint,

1280
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,320
I talked to a lot of Mormons, a lot of Mormons.

1281
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,360
Okay, so Jews and Mormons,

1282
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,560
best two entrepreneur religions by far.

1283
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,680
Why, why are they the best entrepreneur?

1284
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,320
Because they're pushed to the brink, exterminated,

1285
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,920
ostracized, ostracized.

1286
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:06,760
Yeah.

1287
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,120
Figure it out, not educated, figure out.

1288
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,800
Okay, so then I was talking to an LDS,

1289
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,280
because I know a lot of LDS.

1290
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,680
I know a lot of XLDS, which are really interesting.

1291
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,280
They were built with that foundation

1292
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,240
and then they did something else with it,

1293
00:50:21,240 --> 00:50:22,640
which is also interesting.

1294
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,360
Okay, so I was talking to an LDS guy, visionary.

1295
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,960
He's like, oh, there's a fundamental difference

1296
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,360
between Jews and Mormons.

1297
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,040
I'm like, oh, tell me, tell me.

1298
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,720
So he's like, oh, so this is him saying this.

1299
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:37,800
I'm paraphrasing, but this is him saying.

1300
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:38,640
So he's like, the Jews,

1301
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,720
they're focused on the transaction.

1302
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:42,760
So you see the Jewish attorney,

1303
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,160
the Jewish financial person, whatever,

1304
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:46,720
I don't know, whatever that is.

1305
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:48,240
So they focus on transaction.

1306
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,400
And then the LDS, they focus on relationships,

1307
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,920
a Mormon mission, 5,000 doors to find five new Mormons.

1308
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,920
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1309
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,000
Maybe?

1310
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,560
No, no, no, no, no, no, yes.

1311
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,680
So I was listening to him, I'm like, oh, thanks, thanks.

1312
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:11,500
I'm a Mormon.

1313
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:12,760
So I'm like a Mormon Jew.

1314
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:17,440
And then, then I was talking to another LDS

1315
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,520
and LDS, fastest growing religion.

1316
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,520
In some states, it's actually the, it's the one reduced,

1317
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,880
it's going down the most, it's going down the most,

1318
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:26,860
which is really interesting.

1319
00:51:26,860 --> 00:51:29,880
But in like 30 countries, it's the fastest growing, right?

1320
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,440
Cause Mormons sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell,

1321
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:33,280
sell, sell, sell.

1322
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,440
And the Jews, to become a Jew, if you're not born Jewish,

1323
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,040
it's almost impossible.

1324
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:38,880
Right.

1325
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,840
They still want you in the, and so I don't sell anything.

1326
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,020
I haven't done anything outbound in years.

1327
00:51:45,020 --> 00:51:46,980
I just want to buy the people I want to hang out with

1328
00:51:46,980 --> 00:51:48,600
and then they pay our companies

1329
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,200
cause they want to be around other visionaries.

1330
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,920
So I'm like a Jewish Mormon Jewish person.

1331
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:55,760
Ha ha ha ha.

1332
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:56,600
Ha ha ha ha.

1333
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:57,440
Ha ha ha ha.

1334
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:58,520
Nice.

1335
00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:59,360
Yes.

1336
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,840
And you're like a Mormon.

1337
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,960
You do have some, you have,

1338
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,800
you do have some of be the buyer

1339
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:12,320
and you do have some of the business

1340
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,000
transactional understanding, but you're mostly Mormon.

1341
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,600
I'm a chameleon for sure.

1342
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,160
I'd say you're mostly Mormon though.

1343
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,880
Yeah. I would probably agree with that.

1344
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,240
The, you know, it's, it's funny that one thing

1345
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:26,640
that I would say the Jewish and the Mormon communities

1346
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,920
have in common or the individuals within such

1347
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,040
is they're also both right.

1348
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,560
They're both very self-assured communities, right?

1349
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,520
That's one of the strengths of, of both in both types

1350
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,040
of people as which is funny because both of us

1351
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,000
strengths finder, self-assuredness is almost

1352
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,600
in the same position.

1353
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:48,800
I don't remember my position exactly.

1354
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,860
You're a fifth.

1355
00:52:50,860 --> 00:52:52,400
I'm sixth.

1356
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,080
So you don't have imposter syndrome.

1357
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,640
A lot of visionaries, they're very low in self-assurance.

1358
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,360
So they're imposter syndrome.

1359
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,000
I had major imposter syndrome.

1360
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,880
Well, you learned not to.

1361
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:07,000
Yep. Part of, you know, it's funny how life drags you along

1362
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,560
and teaches you opportunities or like you've said,

1363
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,520
and like your hat says, you realize it's abundantly

1364
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,080
blessing you. You just don't realize it, you know?

1365
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,380
And when you learn to accept that, embrace that,

1366
00:53:18,380 --> 00:53:19,680
you can learn a whole lot faster.

1367
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,960
So Justin, it was my honor to have you today.

1368
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,040
This is awesome.

1369
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,320
Anybody who's listening in right now,

1370
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,360
we will have the resources and the show notes

1371
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:27,760
on the landing page.

1372
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,760
If you want to reach out to Justin,

1373
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,840
LinkedIn, elsewhere, I'm sure you can find it.

1374
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,360
In fact, if you just Google him,

1375
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,080
you'll find a lot of information about him and his family

1376
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,840
and see what he's up to in his projects.

1377
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,200
Any plugs, Justin, any specific place where people,

1378
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,280
you know, would most benefit to go in

1379
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,480
and research and look up?

1380
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,520
Well, let me see if that,

1381
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,560
well, the company is called Bratwick Network.

1382
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,320
So it's bratwicknetwork.org.

1383
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:57,320
I think the dating website is 52dates52weeks.com,

1384
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,080
or it's 52weeks52dates.com.

1385
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,160
I can't remember which one.

1386
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,040
One of those two.

1387
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,160
We'll throw it in the show notes.

1388
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,000
So for sure for you guys.

1389
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:05,360
We'll throw it in there.

1390
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,320
So Vision Pros, have an amazing year.

00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,080

If you will subscribe, like, comment, all of those things,

00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,600
let's work on that relationship right now

1395
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,280
that Justin talked about.

1396
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:22,680
So we'd love to see you in.

1397
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,600
Anyway, if you got a vision to share though,

1398
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,920
more importantly, then feel free to apply for our show.

1399
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,520
We would love to host you and hear about that vision.

1400
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:31,680
Justin, thanks for being here, man.

1401
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,680
You have a fantastic rest of your day.

1402
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,160
And I'd love to catch up for you a little bit

1403
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,680

1404
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:37,960
Oh, sounds wonderful.

1405
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,560
Happy new year to you and your audience.

1406
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,680
And I hope this was beneficial.

1407
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:42,520
This is amazing, man.

1408
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:43,880
Thank you for being here today.

1409
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,360
I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros Live.

1410
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,000
I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions

1411
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,280
as these episodes continue to move forward.

1412
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,000
