Fuqua. I'll get that. Thank you. Well, I'm glad I got that. Awesome. And where were you born and raised?
So Lubbock, Texas.
Okay, cool. We're both native Texans. That's so random. Not the case these days.
No, I'm like sixth generation. Like I've got family that goes way, way back in Texas.
Yeah, we came from the Dust Bowl. So my family did. So we were from Oklahoma in 1930s, I guess
that was that they were forced by the winds and the dirt and everything else to move down to Texas.
So that's cool. Your family got blown in with the tumbleweeds. Same thing with mine. Granddad
and my dad on my mom's side. Like that whole family was from Arkansas. They moved over this way.
And then I've got families been here forever. Apparently there was a Fuqua at the Alamo. I don't
know if I'm related or not, but there was a Fuqua at the Alamo. Wow. Awesome. That was before that
time even then. That's cool. Before my time, my family's time. Obviously before my time. Let me
just point out the obvious. All right, Clint. So if you were to give us three resources real quick,
whether it's personal development, physical development, mental development, what books,
what resources would you name? And then we'll go into the break. Man.
Man. That's a, there's way too many books out there for all that. Honestly, it comes down to,
are you a reader? So for everybody out there, are you a reader? Because if you're not a reader,
then books are kind of, honestly, most of my sticks to podcasts, but books.
Could be a podcast. It's your vision. So whatever three resources, no visionaries, let's hit it.
For books, dietary side, right? Cause there's a whole lot of dietary stuff. I'm doing tons of
videos on dietary stuff right now. The zone is actually still a favorite of mine. The zone.
That's one. Yeah. It's around basically keeping blood sugar even. It's the whole moderation in
all things, right? Because there's 10 million diets out there. I kind of use this as the base
that I've worked from with everybody from a dietary standpoint and strategy,
because it is a moderation thing, right? I said that,
that's a tough one because everybody's in a different area of life and where they're at.
Man, you got me stamped on that one right now. Cause honestly, I don't do a whole lot of books.
Right? So I do a lot of podcasts. I do a lot of podcasts. So what are the two podcasts?
Yeah. So I do, I do a lot of shorts as well. So, um, Joe Rogan, I love Joe Rogan, his podcast.
Yeah. Because it's, there's so much information. He's got so many people that come on there.
Absolutely. And I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going
to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie.
So if you want a diverse piece of thought coming at you at all times to, cause the best thing you
can do is question your own thoughts and beliefs in what you, what you think and how you believe
and how you live. And if you want to do that, you know, it, it happens on there a lot because
there's so much diversity of the thought and influence on there. Yes. A lot of different
ones. Uh, third one, you know, um, going back to the whole health responsibility, stuff like that.
Hillsdale college has some really good podcasts and stuff specifically about the family of the
country. What was it? The constant, uh, Hillsdale college, Hildo college. Yeah. Uh, Hillsdale,
Hillsdale college, Hillsdale college. They died. They dive into the constitution,
a whole lot, not just about the constitution, but everybody that wrote it, like the conception of it,
how it got there, how it was created. Uh, they go through all the articles of it. I mean, it's
top to bottom and really, really, really in depth why things were written the way they were written
as opposed to just, you know, people saying, Oh, we think it was this, it was this. No, no,
here's actually what everybody wrote about how it was written, how they pre-actually crafted it.
Um, it's election year, right? So there's a whole lot of stuff about this is constitutional. It's
not constitutional. Well, you might want to go back to the guys that wrote it and see what their
real thoughts and ideas were about what happened in the constitution, constitutional conventions,
all the battling back and forth about what ended up in there, uh, why is the house and everything
else. And also getting to know about the people that wrote it. Um, it's huge. Yeah. They also have
a great, a great one. Uh, they've got some great ones about the Bible as well, especially going
into Genesis, um, creation, stuff like that. And getting into the, the housing wise and
digging into, uh, reading the Bible is one thing. Understanding it is a whole different deal. So
you have to, you have to know the source scripture when it was written, why it was the writers,
the language, the language, what a word means, what a word meant. Um, and then what happened
to restart switching words around, uh, and that's also part of the Hillsdale college podcast.
Yeah. That's awesome, man. Thank you for that. That's actually a big one for me. I'll be excited
to dive into it. Yeah. And it's not, it's not actually podcasts. These are actually classes.
These are courses. These are free courses that they offer. Um, so like a full course that they
offer for free. So, uh, free courses are really nice. That's fantastic. Absolutely. Um, you know,
I know a lot of people who say that if you give people something for free, um, then they won't
appreciate it. And that's absolutely not true. Um, you know, there are lots of people who will
dive in and devour that. I'm one of them. So let's go to the, let's go to the break real quick. We'll
come back. When we come back, everybody, we'll talk about mastering our personal health responsibility
as we dive into Clint's vision. All right. Welcome in to vision pros live with Jackson Calame. I'm
your show host. We'll be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs and guest leaders who
are building fantastic visions out there. Hey, what's up everybody. Welcome into another show
of vision pros live. I'm your show host, Jackson Calame, founder and CEO of first class business.
And I'm excited to have Flint, Flint, Flint, Kufu. No, Clint Fuqua on the show today. Uh,
Clint's can be joining me. We're going to be talking about health responsibility, our opportunities to
improve our health. He is what I would call a fitness nut. And that is a great thing. I'm a
business nut by the way. Um, so let's move into some of these sponsors before we do that. And of
course, talk about the water project. Feel free to look up the water project while I talk about
the first two, the wellness shop, three, six, five by Sean Lechuga. Um, Sean has this approach to
integrative nutrition, health and wellness that also consists of this, this wheel assessment for
your life that dives into talking about, uh, your spirituality, your creativity, um, your, uh, we
need to go down to it. It's a joy, um, finances career that the wellness wheel that he has here
really inspired me. And I'm excited to help him redesign this so that it's that much more user
friendly for people who don't catch the concept and vision of how cool this is, but to have somebody
who actually cares about your wellbeing beyond the food, beyond the exercise, um, you know, and dives
in much deeper with you in terms of what it is you're trying to accomplish in life can be extremely
inspiring and motivating for those who are looking for wealth beyond the, the current modern
definition, perhaps, um, he's got a great family, absolutely love working with him. He also is
involved in our pre-show process. Um, so a lot of people who come onto this show meet with Sean
first, um, and Sean hears them out about their vision to see if they would be a good fit for
moving forward with us. So he's also very potentially becoming a business partner mind
at first class businesses. We continue to work together. So in about six months, it's been
absolutely awesome. He's a brother from another mother and I highly recommend checking out what
he's up to the last spot with Melissa Gray. Melissa Gray also came onto our show and I've
been looking for years for a lawyer who also has a personality. No offense to some of the lawyers
I've met in my past. Um, but to have somebody who is a nurture, who understands legal matters and
can break it down in simple realities while appreciating you as a human being who has a
capacity to listen, not just for the sake of ensuring that they're, uh, they're clocking every
15 minutes that they invoice you, but somebody who actually cares about your wellbeing. She breaks
business law down into simple terms and she's building out holistic packages for law so that
your, um, everything from estate planning to how to protect your business and how to have your base,
um, ready to go, but also have that legal counsel available when you need it.
Trust me, it's better to have that upfront. Um, I've been in many companies where we did not,
and we had to find somebody last minute and we paid a pretty penny for it. Um, other cases where,
uh, maybe we downloaded certain templates from the internet, um, you know, from the,
I don't know, legal ease, legal zoom, uh, Crocodoc, uh, there's, there's different,
there's different programs out there that they're not bad. They can get you started in terms of
understanding, but when push comes to shove in a courtroom, what I've found is the paper
isn't usually what wins. It's usually having the right attorney represent you in the process. So
I'd highly recommend it. Why? Because I see too many entrepreneurs that, and again, more than 95%
of those I've worked with, if I were to ask them, who's your legal counsel, they won't know. They
don't know where they're at with that. And that's dangerous if we want to be wise stewards of what
we do. Then there's the water project. All of us that are listening in right now, um, I bet 99.9%
of us have access to clean drinking water, water within a hundred feet of where we're sitting,
standing or walking. And we have millions of people on this earth who don't, uh, we have an
opportunity to come together, give back, even if it's just $5, even if you don't have $5 and all
you can do is share, never underestimate the power of inspiration. You might be the one connected to
somebody who goes ahead and funds one of these entire projects. Now they show you the projects,
they show you the communities that will be affected. And once you, the thing I love about
their program is once you've donated to it, they will also give you a status update and you get to
see the fulfillment of that dream come true. When I say dream, imagine these kids, these families,
10 years later, after having learned how to create, sustain this source of water. Now they're not
leaving work. They're not leaving school. Family members aren't getting sick because of water that
they took a risk on. It's an absolutely awesome opportunity to get involved and help out. If you
know of a cause that you'd also like to see us support and help out with, please don't hesitate
to drop it in the comments. We'd love to take a look at it and see if it's something that we might
put on the show as well. Um, or if it's something that we just might contribute to directly, you
never know if you don't take the chance. So before bringing Clint on board, Clint is known as the
health engineer. He takes an engineering mindset to moving health forward. So I have a feeling him
and Sean are going to be great friends. Um, and in addition to that, my hope is that you will have
the opportunity to find out, is this the also a type of person that I want to learn from? He's
highly sought after as a certified health coach, personal trainer, speaker located in North Dallas
area. And he has specialized training in the areas of corporate wellness, personalized nutrition,
exercise biomechanics with over two decades of wellness industry experience. He's been an
executive and formulation specialist for a nutrition and supplement company, personal training,
certification instructor, national corporate wellness presenter, the strength and conditioning
director for the Dallas heroes basketball academy. And he currently owns the Olympic fit gym where
he's actually helping Olympians prepare for their Olympic, uh, careers and, and hopefully bringing
some, some gold medals home for our lovely country. Without further ado, Clint Fuqua,
welcome to vision pros life. Yeah. Thanks for having me on. Thanks for having me on. And
it's especially after, uh, you know, last week was a, we had a nice little impromptu discussion for
about almost an hour, which was fantastic. Yeah. Absolutely. No, let's dive in. Yeah. Thank you
for the great feedback, by the way. Um, we'll start there. That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
So, yep. Um, with what, what Clint's referring to there is when we're bringing guests onto our show,
we want to make sure that we're bringing leaders that are poised to help our audience. And that,
that doesn't mean they have to have everything. They don't have to be Mark Cuban. They don't have
to be Elon Musk. They don't have to be the names that everybody, um, if you, if you drop the name,
people in a crowd, 99% of people are going to know we got to make sure though, that they're
well positioned to help people after the show. And in terms of, of Clint's website, he had some
opportunities to revamp some of that content. Now visionaries, a lot of people would, would come in
who are you, you know, to, to tell Clint how to revamp his content or, or who are you to tell me
what to do? And that's never the case. It's always the opportunity to invite. So we invited Clint to
make some adjustments to his web presence. And he said, all right, my team will get after that.
Um, and he made those adjustments and that showed me that he's not only a leader who thinks he's
made it and done learning, he's eagerly moving his own processes forward. And man, I just appreciate
you bringing that up and honoring us about that. I'd love to know though, what's your, what's your
vision for those that you serve? Let's, let's get right into that for the people who are listening.
What do you hope that they achieve and accomplish? Well, the big question is what do they want to
achieve and accomplish? Cause I mean, it's their goals. It's not my goals. So ideally though,
let's say that, let's say there's a hundred million people that just found out about you.
And some people come forward and, and they're excited to work with you on the Olympic fit.
What do you do for those who join you at the Olympic fit? What do they need?
Once it comes down to goals, right? So we do have some Olympians or some potential Olympians coming
in with us. We've got several that are qualified for the upcoming Olympics. So winning a medal,
yes, is awesome. Right. It'd be awesome if they do that for them, for us, for everybody else.
But outside of that, it's, you know, what do you do after that? Cause we, we try to give that vision
for all of our athletes, all of our student athletes, which is sure you want to play sport.
That's great. What are you going to do after you retire? What kind of life do you want to live?
Do you want to limp around for the rest of your life? So it's helping, it's helping people figure
out what they want to really do over the scope of their lifetime, which will change. Just things
happen in life and you'll change what your, what your goals are. But the goal is to be healthy,
live a good life and have a family if you want to have a family. And how do I get there? And that's
really the big thing is helping people figure out how to get there. That's the whole engineer
piece of this health engineer thing is engineering, structuring something that's going to be,
it's going to be livable. Most people don't do livable things when it comes to health and wellness.
They do incredibly unlivable, unthinkable things at times in an attempt to fit into his pants or
something like that. And it's like, well, we can probably still get you to fit in those pants,
but we're going to make sure that you can still like live a normal life while you do it.
Instead of being on the, I'm on a diet, I can't do this or that right now. Right. Or being too
short to move around because it's, if you already got too hard, you can't move around. Then what's
the point? Unless you're trying to get up on stage or if you are going to be an Olympian,
we do let them know, yes, you're going to be very sore at times because that's just part of it.
There's pain in the process. There's pain in every process. Just some people have much more
physical pain in the process of getting there. But the main goal is helping people figure out
where they want to go, how to get there and do it the best way possible without injury, without
any kind of setbacks, without doing anything odd and crazy dietary exercise wise that leads them
into some bad stuff later on. Because that does, I see that happen a lot. And some people are well
meaning about what they do a lot of times without knowing what they're doing. And so they'll cause
more issues than they should. It's kind of like a DIY project at your house. If anybody's ever done
a DIY at your house and then you did it and then you had to pay double to have the expert come in
and fix it. That would be my type of DIY. I stopped a long time ago. DIY is almost double your
investment is what happens a lot of times. So yeah, it's helping people. If they do want to DIY,
it's giving them some good resources to where they can do it properly and with some good knowledge.
Or coming in and getting a program put together and it's based on them as well. So if somebody
gives you a program, you're probably not going to do it all the way because it's not yours. And
everybody likes to rebel a little bit. We all have some rebel in us. And so somebody tells you,
you have to do this. And if you have even a little bit of rebel in you, you're going to rebel somehow
in some way, shape or form. So the best way to keep people from rebelling is they help them put
together their own program. This way it's yours. You can't really rebel against yourself. You can,
but there's a whole lot of back and forth in the programming of stuff for people. So because it's
yours, it's your life. It should be your program. It should be your diet. It should be your exercise
program at some point. So there's a whole lot of who had to be active in it. It's not a brainless
activity. Absolutely. Well, you called me out. I was that one who was rebellious and wanted to
figure it out myself so many times. And the cool thing is you can also channel that. If you find
yourself being rebellious, but you find a program that comes from somebody who's amazing, I highly
recommend following it. My way of rebelling nowadays is I'm going to do that. And then some,
right? I'm going to complete that. And I'm going to go above and beyond it. Cause I want results
above and beyond what everybody else has achieved with said program. So it's a fun shift that people
can go through. Now, the other thing I love about your vision is that you talked about helping these
athletes think and build beyond the initial goal of that metal, beyond the here and now there's,
there's a lot of coaches who lose sight of that. A lot of trainers who don't ever think about that
or feel like that's part of their responsibility or their opportunity. I got to connect to Melissa
Gray. Cause we've been talking about, uh, NILs, the name image likeness realities. And we've been
talking about how it would be very helpful. These kids are coming out of a high school now with the
ability to make money on their name, image and likeness. And a lot of them have parents too,
that are of supporting them, helping them move through these realities, but they don't necessarily
have, uh, the personal trainers and don't necessarily have the legal counsel to help them
maximize those opportunities. And, uh, you know, that can, that can become a slippery slope pretty
fast if you're not prepared for the types of challenges that exist with it. Yeah. We've got,
we've got kids in junior high that have like full media, everything like they've got their Instagram
set up. They've got, they've got their hashtag set. I mean, they've got all of it. They're ready.
It's like they're 10. Yeah. Right. Let's see if they make it to high school. Um, but yeah, we, we,
we do, we do. And so luckily, so my partner, uh, Ray, uh, so he's been there, he's been to the Olympics.
He's, he's been a professional sprinter. He's been in track and field for a long time. So he,
he knows he gets it and he knows the reality of what happens when he gets into the sport while
you're there, what are the expectations are from sponsors and everybody else. And then what happens
whenever you're done with the sports and a lot of people forget about this whole, you're going to
retire by the time you're 24, 25, maybe 30. Forget about it, dude. I would say if you're Tom Brady,
okay, sure. You'll make it to 42. Well, okay. You're retired at 42 now. Now what are you going to do?
Um, so go back and play again. I don't know. He might, uh, um, so yeah, it's, it's getting that
mindset of, you know, don't break your body. Don't break yourself while you're doing this sport. Um,
unless you think it's really worth it to do that, because otherwise you've got the rest of your life
to live and you need to make sure people respond to you as opposed to you as the athlete, uh,
because you know, there's two different things, right? Um, and you've got to have people liking
you and respecting you outside of the sport and outside of being an athlete. So whenever you're
not an athlete anymore, well, now you're just you, now you're just a person that did play that sports.
So what do you do now? Like what's, if you, if you, if you were with a, with the athletic
compare brand, whatever, are they going to keep you on? Cause now you're not in the sports,
but are you enough of a name and personality and people like you enough as a person to still buy
shoes from you essentially? Cause we tell our, our, especially our track athletes, look,
you're a shoe salesman. Okay. You're a shoe salesperson. Your job as far as the companies
are concerned is to sell shoes. How many shoes are you going to sell for them? Um, so you're
either going to be Michael Jordan or Al Bundy or somewhere in between. So you're, you're either,
you're the poster that people are saying, I want to be like Mike or you're Al Bundy who was great
in high school. And then now he's selling, putting shoes on feet. So which, which shoe salesman do
you want to be? Um, and you're going to wind up somewhere in that, in that range, but you've got
to get yourself out there and have people like you and respect you enough to where they want to still
do stuff with you after the sport. And a lot of people, a lot of athletes forget about that
while they're in the sport and they get out of the sport. And then nobody will touch them after
that because they were just either tough to work with or they built the wrong brand around themselves
and they just couldn't get away from it anymore. Yeah. They didn't have a vision of that future.
I didn't forget about it. I never even thought about it. Um, when I was in my athletic career.
So speaking of Al Bundy, um, what's your worst leadership experience ever? Oh my God.
Where's worst leadership experience ever. Um, man, there's so, I'd say there's so many in the,
in the fitness industry and the subliminal industry. Um, I mean, it all comes down to ego
at some point, right? Um, either somebody's trying to control stuff way too much. Um,
you got a good story.
Man, I don't want to talk bad about anybody.
You can name them, uh, Paul Smith or something like that. That's fine. Yeah.
Um, well, we'll say, so a gym I was at previously, uh, the guy in charge really wanted everything
to run his way specifically. And I get that because it's, you know, it's your place. You want it to
run, you want things to run a certain way. Um, programming stuff like that. Uh, to the point
that you, he would write programs for everybody to utilize. So I think that's the best way to
utilize. Um, I would not utilize the programs that were written because I have a brain. I like to
think I like to do what's right for my clients. And so I kind of bucked the system on that. And
there was a resistance and some of the other trainers went along and rebelled with me for a
little while. And that caused some issues. Um, which is, you know, he wanted everything to be
his, his way, his direction, his programming language and nothing outside of that. And don't
question it. And once people started questioning it, well, um, I had to go because I was the black
sheep that was throwing all the questioning in. So, but, uh, there was that one, um,
that, and so in some industry, um, you know, when I was there, not an ego thing, but a,
an overselling thing, right? So some people might oversell who they are, what they do, um,
or the company, or put it into a really, really bad position by overselling things and underselling
things. And, um, uh, underselling your staff is never good. So the way that's out there on the
road, you're doing stuff, they're, they're supposed to be helping build the business and they come in
behind you and undersell you and undercut you on deals. And then you find that afterwards,
the deal that you did with somebody, you just got undercut by your boss or the owner of the company
because he needed some cash in the pocket. Um, so because he oversold himself on, in a few certain
ways and put things into a really bad financial bind. Um, so those are probably some of the,
some of the worst things I've been around and been in, um, for myself also. So the,
when we started Olympic bit, uh, there was some, some control issues on my side of stuff, which is
just, I mean, once you get out to my place, I like things to be done a certain way. And I was overly
controlling things and not allowing people to do things. And, uh, it was a, well, if I don't do
this, who's going to do it? And they're like, well, maybe just don't worry about that. And somebody
else will take care of it. I was like, well, who's going to take care of it? Let us figure that out.
Okay. So I let them figure it out and they figured it out and things ran smoothly and it's like,
okay. So I guess I can't be, if you're not hands off, you can't allow people to be a hands-on.
It's probably the bigger, bigger thing there that for me that I learned, because I am very hands-on
about everything. And once again, it's making sure people can do things properly and things are done.
If people aren't doing stuff, I'll automatically pick up and start doing it. Um, so yeah, it's,
it's being hands-off and allowing people to, to do stuff and allowing people to fail and then
supporting them whenever they fail and picking them back up and a lot of stuff. But, uh, yeah,
overly controlling situations can be a, a big issue from a leadership standpoint. You have to
like kind of sit back and if things fall off a little bit, you kind of have to let them fall off.
So other people will have to engage and pick things up. Um, which is a really tough one to do
because you don't like to, nobody likes to see things like lagging upon apart here and there.
It's like, I wish they'd do something and eventually they do and you're like, okay,
they picked it up. I don't have to know. Um, so it's, it's allowing people to,
to take the reins and do stuff. Yeah, very good. Um, what's your best leadership experience
look like? Ah, best leadership experience. Um, you know, so MLMs, they get a bad rap at times,
right? Um, I will say some of the best leadership I've seen has come out of direct sales companies.
Uh, mostly because I don't think people realize this in direct sales and, you know, all the
multi-level stuff, like you have to lead and organize, organize and lead a team. Yeah.
Really, really well. Like anybody gets in there, which, oh man, it's, you have to be a manager.
Like you have to be a good leader to do it. It's true. You have to have a lot of good leadership
traits. You don't have to be a good leader. You do have to have a lot of great leadership traits
in order to do it. And it's, I've seen some of the best leadership, um, training, teaching
experiences come out of, out of MLM, along with some bad ones, but some really good ones, because
you really do have to get up there and like, this is my team. These are my people. And. Yep. Like the,
the buildup, you've got to really be a, a person that, that pours into your people. Um, importing
into the people, as opposed to, uh, calling them all day going, did you make sales today? Right.
Cause there are those. There are. But I've seen some others in, in that industry that, man, they just,
they love people so much. They, they pour into their people and their team down below them. And they,
even when they move companies, cause that happens a lot. Their people go with them because
yes, the conversation, but also they are going with that person has led them to some success
and better things in life and really helped them out in their lives. Um, let's talk about that.
Cause, uh, I'm a big fan of, of, uh, the training programs as well. I would agree.
Multivari marketing has one of the best incubation systems as a whole, um, for leadership
development. They're very, very good. And that's one of the things that, that subconsciously
inspires people to dive into these opportunities. There's this belonging aspect. You mentioned this
jumping ship, um, that, that occurs. Well, that also is a reflection of the leadership above the
leader who jumped ships. See a lot of these contracts say we can adjust your compensation
at any time. Um, plus there's very stringent non-competes, um, non-disclosures that are baked
into that. And so not until you're that six figure a month earner where they say, okay,
you cost us too much money now. Um, you know, you gotta go. Yeah. And so I don't, I don't blame
people at all for jumping ships when they, but another challenge is when you get into that
network marketing and you've had no business experience, you don't read the fine print.
Oh, you don't know about it. You're excited about all the hype that's around you. And some of the
hype is driven by people who want to make millions and millions of dollars. Most of the people that
are in it though, don't most of the people bought the product and they're happy to belong and mom
or dad pressured them into it, or you pressure your mom and your dad into it. And that's why they're
in, they're in it as well. And, and so there's a lot of negative realities that go along with that
process too, but there's a lot of honorable things that we learn. That's where most of my base for
business leadership came from was learning through my failures of network marketing.
Oh yeah. And you'll, you'll learn a lot. You'll learn a lot about yourself and really what it takes
to make it from a business standpoint, because when you go out there, I mean, it's, it's you out there.
And you got to figure out, okay, are you pushing a product? Are you pushing you? Are you, and you
learn a whole lot about should I be running a business at all? Right. Because you, you quite
literally are kind of running a business and a lot of people don't realize that in the beginning.
You are running your own independent business inside of a business, right? Yep. And also for,
like somebody's just working a regular nine to five, it's great because now you start realizing
what happens above you in that business structure. And so sometimes you'll get, people actually get
more engaged in their nine to five regular job while they're doing the MLM thing, because well,
I'm not doing this to get this, and I think I know why now. And they start getting more engaged in
your job next to know they're getting, they're moving up the ranks in their normal job, right?
Or they get really good to doing stuff with the MLM and they realize, okay, I'm better doing this
than just being in this, in the system and the normal job structure. I'm better doing my own
thing. So it's, it really helps people figure that thing out. Should I, should I be an entrepreneur
and go out and build something myself or am I better in a system helping the system build?
Yep. But either way, the engagement factor goes through the roof on that because you start
learning a whole lot more about how things work for real as opposed to I'm here at my desk, I'm
doing my thing. Well, yeah, but here's all the other things that have to happen below you and
above you. And if you don't do your thing, then none of these other things can happen.
And so, yeah, it's listen, it gets MLM and direct sales, network marketing gets a bad connotation
a lot of times because of some bad people that have been in it or the usual, people always
conflate things and pull things out proportionate about, well, yeah, put all this money into it and
did this and this and this. Well, first of all, you didn't plan when you went into it, you just
jumped into it. But whenever you do it, you have to learn how to get out and engage and
learn a whole lot about yourself in the process of doing that and
your reasons and motivations for doing things and how to explain it to people and
get yourself out there in the world and be seen or don't need to be
independent or didn't be a part of something and have somebody giving me like, here's your
structure for the day. Here's what you need to do. Or can you sit down and here's my structure for
the day. These are the things I'm going to accomplish. Here's the hit list. Here's the top
things I got to do. Here's the bottom things I got to do. And are you able to make that list,
go through it and do it. And people learn that, figure that out really, really quickly.
Yep, definitely. Let's talk about powerful lessons. So if this was your last opportunity ever
to share a powerful lesson with other visionaries so they can learn from your experience,
what would the powerful lesson be?
Powerful lesson. It's not about you. That's the biggie. It's not about you and it is about you.
So everybody's going through something. Everybody has things going on. And so somebody comes to you
with a problem, they're going off you about something. It's never really about you. It's
about something that's going on. The place that is about you is how you respond to that. And so
do you go back at them or do you find out, hey, what's the real issue here? What's going on? How
can I do this? And then you can go back and do the same thing. And then you can go back and do the
real issue here. What's going on? How can I help you out? As opposed to just starting a war over
somebody coming at you, being angry about you, something that because they're not really angry
about you, they're angry about the situation. Maybe something's going on at home. Maybe something else
is an issue that they're having to deal with. They don't know how to deal with it.
So it's that whole thing. It's never really about you, but it's your job to help out at times.
And that's probably the biggest thing. And that's in everything. That's in
your public relationships. That means with business stuff. That means somebody walking the door into
your business. That means working with your parents, with your wife, with your husband,
whoever. Big one with those. Realize if you're married, because I've been married before,
I've been married before. It's not about you and you really have to be a real partner in things
more so than you would expect at times. And if you're not a good partner, they're not going to
lean into you and give you the story and tell you what's really going on. They're going to find
somebody else to do that with. And at that point, things start separating pretty quickly. So being
able to be open and be a real partner in that, also in business too. So like me and my business
partner, we've had some of this hell or at some point, and we sat down and we talked, we got
through it and things just have exploded and been great since then. But yeah, it's not about you,
but it is about you. That would be the biggie. It's a very similar quote to people don't care
how much you know until they know how much you care about them. So that's what makes it about
them. But then that's also why I coined the quote, not the first part of the quote, which is,
it's not what you know, it's who you know. That's the quote. My quote is, it's not what you know,
it's who you know. And then it's what you know. Because if you get yourself into a situation
where you can help, but you don't know what to do or how to help, then you're pretty much,
you're going to burn the bridge with the person who got you in the door. So I believe you're 100%
right. It's not about you first. It's about serving and helping others. And then it does come down to,
are you capable? Are you qualified? Are you able to help people? Let's take some time to talk about
mastering your personal health responsibility. So how do we go, what is personal health
responsibility and how do we go about mastering it? Well, for that one, Royce, it is all about you.
Nobody else can get you healthy. Nobody else can do anything for you. Nobody can make you eat well.
Nobody can make you exercise. Nobody can make you do anything at all. Right? Right.
Now some people like to mandate how you do things. I'm not big on mandates. I do not like those.
Because it is up to you to do things for yourself. And that is the responsibility piece of it,
which is taking care of your health. Because I mean, you have this body. We do have replacement
parts. The replacement parts, they're decent. They're all right. They'll work for a couple of
years, but they're not like the originals. They're not like the original. They're not like the
originals. Barring birth defects and things like that. But for the most part, you're born with this
fantastically incredible thing that we live in. Right? Best vehicle ever made. And so it's learning
how to take care of that. It is your responsibility to take care of it because you've been given this
thing. Right? You've been given this body to live in for your entire life. So it's much like a car.
If you take care of your car, you're going to get a lot of miles out of it. If you don't take care
of your car, you're not going to get very many miles out of it. And then you'll get another one
and another one and another one and another one. Right. And I guess really expensive. Also, if you
don't do basic maintenance, car repairs, if you haven't noticed, are really expensive now. Yeah.
And yes, you can have insurance and insurance does help. Yes. But the point of insurance is never
having to use it ever. If you do the maintenance as you're supposed to, you rotate your tires,
get your oil changed. You need to rotate your own tires. You need to change your own oil daily.
What does that look like? Moving from the analogy to the physical reality.
Well, that means you need to move every day. Right. And differently, like if you do the same
thing over and over and over again, you're going to have wear, excessive wear on your body. So
I'm like, I hate to pick on runners, but if you run the same thing every day, you're going to have
excessive wear on the joints, on your knees, hips, spine. You're going to have some excess wear on
your brain as well. You're running like this. When you run, you will start having some brain damage.
So making sure that you have a well-rounded system. You are doing some strength training,
you're doing some stretching, you're doing breath work, you are doing some cardiovascular stuff,
you're running, you're biking, you're swimming. So it's taking something that you like to do,
which you know you're good at, doing that for the most part, like 80-20 rule, 80% of what you know
you're good at and then 20% of everything else. So you mix it up. And this way you're rotating your
tires all the time. That's brilliant. I hadn't thought about the running aspect and the brain
drawing, but it reminds me of Japanese water torture. I'm learning about that as a kid,
where they drip the water on your forehead and it eventually ends up carving a hole.
Or driving you insane. You wouldn't think about the erosion effect. We studied that too in middle
school about the erosion effect of water on Grand Canyon and stuff like that. We would do little
models for it. But the fact that, okay, that doesn't happen when you, if I have four drops
of water on my head right now, it's not going to hurt me. But in excessive proportions, it will.
And the same is true of running, but I hadn't really considered that fact of running the brain.
Mileage. Yeah, mileage is mileage. You're either having good mileage or even bad mileage, but
still mileage is mileage. Yeah, but you bring up a good point though,
and our bodies, being the best vehicle, they're restorative too. If I exercise a portion of my
body appropriately for the day, then it rests, relax, rejuvenates. The miles can be restored,
not fully. We all are going to die eventually, but in good capacity, some of us have healthier
lives long-term than others. This is where the diet comes in. So what you eat, what you take in,
nutritional supplements, all that stuff, look at it like you have bricks. Actually, we can call
fat protein and carbohydrate your bricks. These are the big building blocks that we put in.
The one thing that you got to have to go with bricks is you got to have some mortar,
because if you don't have mortar between the bricks, the bricks are going to fall apart.
Any house, if you build it with just bricks, that house ain't going to be up for very long.
You have mortar in between the bricks, really good mortar. It's there. It's going to last for
thousands of years. You're probably going to live thousands of years, but the longer you want to
live and the better things fit together, you want to have some good mortar. That would be all the
micronutrients. That's all your vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are just the
vitamins that don't have a letter associated with them yet. Make sure you have all that put together
well-rounded so everything that goes in your body gets utilized like it's supposed to, and so your
body can regenerate really well. As opposed to just coming in here, you go out, you go run,
you work out. I had my protein for the day. That's great, man, but how are you going to break it down
and utilize it? Have you had some enzymes to go with it? Do you have any probiotics in there?
What kind of minerals and vitamins do you have going into breaking it down? You want to take it
into your cells and actually use it so your body can repair and regenerate. Some people would argue
that God gave us everything. We don't need to know all of that, but I would argue take a look at the
timeline of life expectancy for a human being from the early BCs to now and how much we've progressed
in terms of our ability to live much, much, much longer than we ever have in the past. It has a
lot to do with teachings like this. What's one secret that you would give us or maybe two
on mastering our discipline to be responsible with our health?
In the beginning, charting stuff, writing it down. This way you can hold yourself accountable.
Now, after a while, you don't really need to do that, but in the beginning, just like anything else,
you have to chart it the entire time and figure out, okay, from day to day, am I eating what I'm
supposed to be eating? Am I doing the exercises I'm supposed to be doing? It'll take a year,
year to 18 months of doing that successfully to where now it's a lifestyle and you can just do it
on the fly. It just stays up here for the most part. You know what to eat. You know how you feel
after certain meals, after workouts, how much you need to have going in and out. I love that.
Charting is huge because this way you have something to go back and reference
if something's not going right. Same thing in business and life and everything else, but
if you have a catalog, you have it charted, you can always go back and reference stuff and go,
okay, why am I gaining weight now? Or why am I not gaining? Why am I not gaining the muscle I want to
be gaining? Why is my mileage suffering? Why is, why am I feeling more aches and pains? Well, you
start looking at, here's your history. Here's what's been going on. Okay, I think I know what I need to
do. Here's what I need to change. Here's what I need to add in. Maybe I need to start looking
at some supplements here. Maybe I need to look at doing something to do with my diet. Maybe my
exercise regimen needs to change up because like you see the up and down fluctuations of, okay,
I know what I'm doing good. I know what I'm doing bad. And it's charting. It really helps out,
especially, especially if you are a highly ADD and your world is just in chaos all over the place.
Having that really helps out because it helps you focus on it. If you're highly focused,
because I know some hyper-focused people, hi, Mr. Hyper-focused, don't do it too much because
you'll get too dialed into the details and you'll get lost in the details and you will
destroy yourself with the details. Speaking of that, Clint, one of the cautions I would share
with people, one, I love the idea of charting it. I am not a big fan of apps that track your nutrition
intake and tell you generally what you're supposed to do because I tried that once,
like for a long period. And I was trying to live according to this app that did not know my personal
needs. I was trying to do it without a personal trainer and I could feel myself getting more and
more disconnected from my health even though I was following this regimen that was highly recommended
by 4 million reviews and all these blog articles that say how amazing this is. So if you're going
to track what it is you're doing, like Clint said, we've also got to listen to our body
and know what our body is saying. And if we really want to maximize our results,
then it's incredibly important that we find a health engineer, that we find somebody who's
got the knowledge of, again, how do these bricks and mortar come together? How do we build our best
self? I would say that's my number one tip for everybody who's listening in right now.
If you want to become a master over your personal health, find somebody who is a master of personal
health that you're comfortable with, that you want to work with and work with them. So you'll be able
to access Clint's information on the landing page as well so you can reach out to him. Visionaries,
if you have a vision that you'd like to share as well, then don't hesitate on visionproselive.com
to click the button, it says be our guest. We'd love to have you. If you have a friend, family
member, somebody who would benefit from the conversation that you just heard, tag them.
And I know if you have a question about health, don't hesitate to drop that in the comments as
well. We'll make sure Clint gets those as well. Before we wrap up, Clint, is there any final thing
you want to share? You know, the big thing is people need to de-stress. That's a biggie. Stress
is a major killer. There's a lot of stress out there from everything, right? So the big thing is
find a way to de-stress yourself. Go take a walk, do some breathing, find a nice green space to get
into. By green space, I mean something that has grass and leaves and trees and stuff that you can
be a part of. Get into nature with yourself because we get stuck in these places. Like,
I'm in this big white room. If you're indoors too much, it's going to destroy you. So get outside,
get connected to nature a little bit more because we are natural things. We're natural beings.
And sleep. Get your sleep. Get your sleep. That's right.
I think everybody listening will be happy to hear that as an advice. We hope that you follow the
actions we invite you to. Vision Pros, have a fantastic rest of your day. Thank you for being
