1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Fuqua. I'll get that. Thank you. Well, I'm glad I got that. Awesome. And where were you born and raised? 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,400 So Lubbock, Texas. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,800 Okay, cool. We're both native Texans. That's so random. Not the case these days. 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,920 No, I'm like sixth generation. Like I've got family that goes way, way back in Texas. 5 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,440 Yeah, we came from the Dust Bowl. So my family did. So we were from Oklahoma in 1930s, I guess 6 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:34,240 that was that they were forced by the winds and the dirt and everything else to move down to Texas. 7 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:41,360 So that's cool. Your family got blown in with the tumbleweeds. Same thing with mine. Granddad 8 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,840 and my dad on my mom's side. Like that whole family was from Arkansas. They moved over this way. 9 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,200 And then I've got families been here forever. Apparently there was a Fuqua at the Alamo. I don't 10 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:59,520 know if I'm related or not, but there was a Fuqua at the Alamo. Wow. Awesome. That was before that 11 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,320 time even then. That's cool. Before my time, my family's time. Obviously before my time. Let me 12 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:09,920 just point out the obvious. All right, Clint. So if you were to give us three resources real quick, 13 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,120 whether it's personal development, physical development, mental development, what books, 14 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,760 what resources would you name? And then we'll go into the break. Man. 15 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:28,880 Man. That's a, there's way too many books out there for all that. Honestly, it comes down to, 16 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,760 are you a reader? So for everybody out there, are you a reader? Because if you're not a reader, 17 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:40,400 then books are kind of, honestly, most of my sticks to podcasts, but books. 18 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,240 Could be a podcast. It's your vision. So whatever three resources, no visionaries, let's hit it. 19 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:53,360 For books, dietary side, right? Cause there's a whole lot of dietary stuff. I'm doing tons of 20 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,160 videos on dietary stuff right now. The zone is actually still a favorite of mine. The zone. 21 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:06,400 That's one. Yeah. It's around basically keeping blood sugar even. It's the whole moderation in 22 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:12,400 all things, right? Because there's 10 million diets out there. I kind of use this as the base 23 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,240 that I've worked from with everybody from a dietary standpoint and strategy, 24 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:28,400 because it is a moderation thing, right? I said that, 25 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,840 that's a tough one because everybody's in a different area of life and where they're at. 26 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440 Man, you got me stamped on that one right now. Cause honestly, I don't do a whole lot of books. 27 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:47,120 Right? So I do a lot of podcasts. I do a lot of podcasts. So what are the two podcasts? 28 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,320 Yeah. So I do, I do a lot of shorts as well. So, um, Joe Rogan, I love Joe Rogan, his podcast. 29 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,800 Yeah. Because it's, there's so much information. He's got so many people that come on there. 30 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,080 Absolutely. And I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going 31 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,080 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. 32 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,920 So if you want a diverse piece of thought coming at you at all times to, cause the best thing you 33 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:17,200 can do is question your own thoughts and beliefs in what you, what you think and how you believe 34 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,320 and how you live. And if you want to do that, you know, it, it happens on there a lot because 35 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,320 there's so much diversity of the thought and influence on there. Yes. A lot of different 36 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:39,280 ones. Uh, third one, you know, um, going back to the whole health responsibility, stuff like that. 37 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,040 Hillsdale college has some really good podcasts and stuff specifically about the family of the 38 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:51,600 country. What was it? The constant, uh, Hillsdale college, Hildo college. Yeah. Uh, Hillsdale, 39 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:58,400 Hillsdale college, Hillsdale college. They died. They dive into the constitution, 40 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,040 a whole lot, not just about the constitution, but everybody that wrote it, like the conception of it, 41 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,760 how it got there, how it was created. Uh, they go through all the articles of it. I mean, it's 42 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,040 top to bottom and really, really, really in depth why things were written the way they were written 43 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,360 as opposed to just, you know, people saying, Oh, we think it was this, it was this. No, no, 44 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,440 here's actually what everybody wrote about how it was written, how they pre-actually crafted it. 45 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,560 Um, it's election year, right? So there's a whole lot of stuff about this is constitutional. It's 46 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,240 not constitutional. Well, you might want to go back to the guys that wrote it and see what their 47 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,320 real thoughts and ideas were about what happened in the constitution, constitutional conventions, 48 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,200 all the battling back and forth about what ended up in there, uh, why is the house and everything 49 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:51,520 else. And also getting to know about the people that wrote it. Um, it's huge. Yeah. They also have 50 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200 a great, a great one. Uh, they've got some great ones about the Bible as well, especially going 51 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:01,120 into Genesis, um, creation, stuff like that. And getting into the, the housing wise and 52 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:10,880 digging into, uh, reading the Bible is one thing. Understanding it is a whole different deal. So 53 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,000 you have to, you have to know the source scripture when it was written, why it was the writers, 54 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:23,040 the language, the language, what a word means, what a word meant. Um, and then what happened 55 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,800 to restart switching words around, uh, and that's also part of the Hillsdale college podcast. 56 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,840 Yeah. That's awesome, man. Thank you for that. That's actually a big one for me. I'll be excited 57 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:37,360 to dive into it. Yeah. And it's not, it's not actually podcasts. These are actually classes. 58 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,840 These are courses. These are free courses that they offer. Um, so like a full course that they 59 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:47,600 offer for free. So, uh, free courses are really nice. That's fantastic. Absolutely. Um, you know, 60 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,840 I know a lot of people who say that if you give people something for free, um, then they won't 61 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:57,040 appreciate it. And that's absolutely not true. Um, you know, there are lots of people who will 62 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:03,200 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 63 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,680 come back. When we come back, everybody, we'll talk about mastering our personal health responsibility 64 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,840 as we dive into Clint's vision. All right. Welcome in to vision pros live with Jackson Calame. I'm 65 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:18,640 your show host. We'll be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs and guest leaders who 66 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:31,520 are building fantastic visions out there. Hey, what's up everybody. Welcome into another show 67 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,560 of vision pros live. I'm your show host, Jackson Calame, founder and CEO of first class business. 68 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:43,440 And I'm excited to have Flint, Flint, Flint, Kufu. No, Clint Fuqua on the show today. Uh, 69 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,840 Clint's can be joining me. We're going to be talking about health responsibility, our opportunities to 70 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:52,320 improve our health. He is what I would call a fitness nut. And that is a great thing. I'm a 71 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,960 business nut by the way. Um, so let's move into some of these sponsors before we do that. And of 72 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,640 course, talk about the water project. Feel free to look up the water project while I talk about 73 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:08,640 the first two, the wellness shop, three, six, five by Sean Lechuga. Um, Sean has this approach to 74 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,560 integrative nutrition, health and wellness that also consists of this, this wheel assessment for 75 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:21,840 your life that dives into talking about, uh, your spirituality, your creativity, um, your, uh, we 76 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:30,320 need to go down to it. It's a joy, um, finances career that the wellness wheel that he has here 77 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,440 really inspired me. And I'm excited to help him redesign this so that it's that much more user 78 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,920 friendly for people who don't catch the concept and vision of how cool this is, but to have somebody 79 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:46,400 who actually cares about your wellbeing beyond the food, beyond the exercise, um, you know, and dives 80 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,360 in much deeper with you in terms of what it is you're trying to accomplish in life can be extremely 81 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,160 inspiring and motivating for those who are looking for wealth beyond the, the current modern 82 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,960 definition, perhaps, um, he's got a great family, absolutely love working with him. He also is 83 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,760 involved in our pre-show process. Um, so a lot of people who come onto this show meet with Sean 84 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,200 first, um, and Sean hears them out about their vision to see if they would be a good fit for 85 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,360 moving forward with us. So he's also very potentially becoming a business partner mind 86 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,640 at first class businesses. We continue to work together. So in about six months, it's been 87 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,320 absolutely awesome. He's a brother from another mother and I highly recommend checking out what 88 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:30,480 he's up to the last spot with Melissa Gray. Melissa Gray also came onto our show and I've 89 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,080 been looking for years for a lawyer who also has a personality. No offense to some of the lawyers 90 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,920 I've met in my past. Um, but to have somebody who is a nurture, who understands legal matters and 91 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,400 can break it down in simple realities while appreciating you as a human being who has a 92 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:52,080 capacity to listen, not just for the sake of ensuring that they're, uh, they're clocking every 93 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,200 15 minutes that they invoice you, but somebody who actually cares about your wellbeing. She breaks 94 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:03,600 business law down into simple terms and she's building out holistic packages for law so that 95 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,440 your, um, everything from estate planning to how to protect your business and how to have your base, 96 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,440 um, ready to go, but also have that legal counsel available when you need it. 97 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,800 Trust me, it's better to have that upfront. Um, I've been in many companies where we did not, 98 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,080 and we had to find somebody last minute and we paid a pretty penny for it. Um, other cases where, 99 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,400 uh, maybe we downloaded certain templates from the internet, um, you know, from the, 100 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,520 I don't know, legal ease, legal zoom, uh, Crocodoc, uh, there's, there's different, 101 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,560 there's different programs out there that they're not bad. They can get you started in terms of 102 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:43,840 understanding, but when push comes to shove in a courtroom, what I've found is the paper 103 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:49,840 isn't usually what wins. It's usually having the right attorney represent you in the process. So 104 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:56,320 I'd highly recommend it. Why? Because I see too many entrepreneurs that, and again, more than 95% 105 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:02,080 of those I've worked with, if I were to ask them, who's your legal counsel, they won't know. They 106 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,520 don't know where they're at with that. And that's dangerous if we want to be wise stewards of what 107 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:11,520 we do. Then there's the water project. All of us that are listening in right now, um, I bet 99.9% 108 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,560 of us have access to clean drinking water, water within a hundred feet of where we're sitting, 109 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:22,080 standing or walking. And we have millions of people on this earth who don't, uh, we have an 110 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:27,760 opportunity to come together, give back, even if it's just $5, even if you don't have $5 and all 111 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,960 you can do is share, never underestimate the power of inspiration. You might be the one connected to 112 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,000 somebody who goes ahead and funds one of these entire projects. Now they show you the projects, 113 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,920 they show you the communities that will be affected. And once you, the thing I love about 114 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,480 their program is once you've donated to it, they will also give you a status update and you get to 115 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,840 see the fulfillment of that dream come true. When I say dream, imagine these kids, these families, 116 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:58,880 10 years later, after having learned how to create, sustain this source of water. Now they're not 117 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,200 leaving work. They're not leaving school. Family members aren't getting sick because of water that 118 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,560 they took a risk on. It's an absolutely awesome opportunity to get involved and help out. If you 119 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:12,960 know of a cause that you'd also like to see us support and help out with, please don't hesitate 120 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,320 to drop it in the comments. We'd love to take a look at it and see if it's something that we might 121 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,400 put on the show as well. Um, or if it's something that we just might contribute to directly, you 122 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:26,240 never know if you don't take the chance. So before bringing Clint on board, Clint is known as the 123 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:33,360 health engineer. He takes an engineering mindset to moving health forward. So I have a feeling him 124 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,520 and Sean are going to be great friends. Um, and in addition to that, my hope is that you will have 125 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,000 the opportunity to find out, is this the also a type of person that I want to learn from? He's 126 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,360 highly sought after as a certified health coach, personal trainer, speaker located in North Dallas 127 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:52,400 area. And he has specialized training in the areas of corporate wellness, personalized nutrition, 128 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:58,080 exercise biomechanics with over two decades of wellness industry experience. He's been an 129 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,400 executive and formulation specialist for a nutrition and supplement company, personal training, 130 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,960 certification instructor, national corporate wellness presenter, the strength and conditioning 131 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,320 director for the Dallas heroes basketball academy. And he currently owns the Olympic fit gym where 132 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:18,080 he's actually helping Olympians prepare for their Olympic, uh, careers and, and hopefully bringing 133 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:23,840 some, some gold medals home for our lovely country. Without further ado, Clint Fuqua, 134 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,640 welcome to vision pros life. Yeah. Thanks for having me on. Thanks for having me on. And 135 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,800 it's especially after, uh, you know, last week was a, we had a nice little impromptu discussion for 136 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:41,280 about almost an hour, which was fantastic. Yeah. Absolutely. No, let's dive in. Yeah. Thank you 137 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:47,840 for the great feedback, by the way. Um, we'll start there. That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. 138 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:54,000 So, yep. Um, with what, what Clint's referring to there is when we're bringing guests onto our show, 139 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,680 we want to make sure that we're bringing leaders that are poised to help our audience. And that, 140 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:02,640 that doesn't mean they have to have everything. They don't have to be Mark Cuban. They don't have 141 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:08,080 to be Elon Musk. They don't have to be the names that everybody, um, if you, if you drop the name, 142 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,000 people in a crowd, 99% of people are going to know we got to make sure though, that they're 143 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:19,440 well positioned to help people after the show. And in terms of, of Clint's website, he had some 144 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:26,000 opportunities to revamp some of that content. Now visionaries, a lot of people would, would come in 145 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,640 who are you, you know, to, to tell Clint how to revamp his content or, or who are you to tell me 146 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,640 what to do? And that's never the case. It's always the opportunity to invite. So we invited Clint to 147 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,040 make some adjustments to his web presence. And he said, all right, my team will get after that. 148 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,640 Um, and he made those adjustments and that showed me that he's not only a leader who thinks he's 149 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:51,760 made it and done learning, he's eagerly moving his own processes forward. And man, I just appreciate 150 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,160 you bringing that up and honoring us about that. I'd love to know though, what's your, what's your 151 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,160 vision for those that you serve? Let's, let's get right into that for the people who are listening. 152 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,440 What do you hope that they achieve and accomplish? Well, the big question is what do they want to 153 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:11,760 achieve and accomplish? Cause I mean, it's their goals. It's not my goals. So ideally though, 154 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,960 let's say that, let's say there's a hundred million people that just found out about you. 155 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,760 And some people come forward and, and they're excited to work with you on the Olympic fit. 156 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,080 What do you do for those who join you at the Olympic fit? What do they need? 157 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,640 Once it comes down to goals, right? So we do have some Olympians or some potential Olympians coming 158 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,040 in with us. We've got several that are qualified for the upcoming Olympics. So winning a medal, 159 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,840 yes, is awesome. Right. It'd be awesome if they do that for them, for us, for everybody else. 160 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,400 But outside of that, it's, you know, what do you do after that? Cause we, we try to give that vision 161 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,920 for all of our athletes, all of our student athletes, which is sure you want to play sport. 162 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,960 That's great. What are you going to do after you retire? What kind of life do you want to live? 163 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:59,440 Do you want to limp around for the rest of your life? So it's helping, it's helping people figure 164 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,160 out what they want to really do over the scope of their lifetime, which will change. Just things 165 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:10,080 happen in life and you'll change what your, what your goals are. But the goal is to be healthy, 166 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,920 live a good life and have a family if you want to have a family. And how do I get there? And that's 167 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,280 really the big thing is helping people figure out how to get there. That's the whole engineer 168 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,280 piece of this health engineer thing is engineering, structuring something that's going to be, 169 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,640 it's going to be livable. Most people don't do livable things when it comes to health and wellness. 170 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:38,160 They do incredibly unlivable, unthinkable things at times in an attempt to fit into his pants or 171 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,840 something like that. And it's like, well, we can probably still get you to fit in those pants, 172 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,600 but we're going to make sure that you can still like live a normal life while you do it. 173 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:52,160 Instead of being on the, I'm on a diet, I can't do this or that right now. Right. Or being too 174 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,200 short to move around because it's, if you already got too hard, you can't move around. Then what's 175 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,440 the point? Unless you're trying to get up on stage or if you are going to be an Olympian, 176 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,640 we do let them know, yes, you're going to be very sore at times because that's just part of it. 177 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,280 There's pain in the process. There's pain in every process. Just some people have much more 178 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:19,520 physical pain in the process of getting there. But the main goal is helping people figure out 179 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:25,200 where they want to go, how to get there and do it the best way possible without injury, without 180 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:31,120 any kind of setbacks, without doing anything odd and crazy dietary exercise wise that leads them 181 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:37,200 into some bad stuff later on. Because that does, I see that happen a lot. And some people are well 182 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,800 meaning about what they do a lot of times without knowing what they're doing. And so they'll cause 183 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:49,600 more issues than they should. It's kind of like a DIY project at your house. If anybody's ever done 184 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,440 a DIY at your house and then you did it and then you had to pay double to have the expert come in 185 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:05,760 and fix it. That would be my type of DIY. I stopped a long time ago. DIY is almost double your 186 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:14,800 investment is what happens a lot of times. So yeah, it's helping people. If they do want to DIY, 187 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,000 it's giving them some good resources to where they can do it properly and with some good knowledge. 188 00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:27,920 Or coming in and getting a program put together and it's based on them as well. So if somebody 189 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:35,280 gives you a program, you're probably not going to do it all the way because it's not yours. And 190 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,280 everybody likes to rebel a little bit. We all have some rebel in us. And so somebody tells you, 191 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:45,360 you have to do this. And if you have even a little bit of rebel in you, you're going to rebel somehow 192 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,560 in some way, shape or form. So the best way to keep people from rebelling is they help them put 193 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:56,880 together their own program. This way it's yours. You can't really rebel against yourself. You can, 194 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:05,200 but there's a whole lot of back and forth in the programming of stuff for people. So because it's 195 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,680 yours, it's your life. It should be your program. It should be your diet. It should be your exercise 196 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:17,520 program at some point. So there's a whole lot of who had to be active in it. It's not a brainless 197 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:24,320 activity. Absolutely. Well, you called me out. I was that one who was rebellious and wanted to 198 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:29,760 figure it out myself so many times. And the cool thing is you can also channel that. If you find 199 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,080 yourself being rebellious, but you find a program that comes from somebody who's amazing, I highly 200 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,800 recommend following it. My way of rebelling nowadays is I'm going to do that. And then some, 201 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,440 right? I'm going to complete that. And I'm going to go above and beyond it. Cause I want results 202 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:49,360 above and beyond what everybody else has achieved with said program. So it's a fun shift that people 203 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:53,200 can go through. Now, the other thing I love about your vision is that you talked about helping these 204 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:59,120 athletes think and build beyond the initial goal of that metal, beyond the here and now there's, 205 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:03,600 there's a lot of coaches who lose sight of that. A lot of trainers who don't ever think about that 206 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,720 or feel like that's part of their responsibility or their opportunity. I got to connect to Melissa 207 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:15,360 Gray. Cause we've been talking about, uh, NILs, the name image likeness realities. And we've been 208 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:20,480 talking about how it would be very helpful. These kids are coming out of a high school now with the 209 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,000 ability to make money on their name, image and likeness. And a lot of them have parents too, 210 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,120 that are of supporting them, helping them move through these realities, but they don't necessarily 211 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:36,480 have, uh, the personal trainers and don't necessarily have the legal counsel to help them 212 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,200 maximize those opportunities. And, uh, you know, that can, that can become a slippery slope pretty 213 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,080 fast if you're not prepared for the types of challenges that exist with it. Yeah. We've got, 214 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,200 we've got kids in junior high that have like full media, everything like they've got their Instagram 215 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,920 set up. They've got, they've got their hashtag set. I mean, they've got all of it. They're ready. 216 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:04,560 It's like they're 10. Yeah. Right. Let's see if they make it to high school. Um, but yeah, we, we, 217 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:10,560 we do, we do. And so luckily, so my partner, uh, Ray, uh, so he's been there, he's been to the Olympics. 218 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:15,120 He's, he's been a professional sprinter. He's been in track and field for a long time. So he, 219 00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:20,400 he knows he gets it and he knows the reality of what happens when he gets into the sport while 220 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:26,800 you're there, what are the expectations are from sponsors and everybody else. And then what happens 221 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,480 whenever you're done with the sports and a lot of people forget about this whole, you're going to 222 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:40,640 retire by the time you're 24, 25, maybe 30. Forget about it, dude. I would say if you're Tom Brady, 223 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,680 okay, sure. You'll make it to 42. Well, okay. You're retired at 42 now. Now what are you going to do? 224 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:52,880 Um, so go back and play again. I don't know. He might, uh, um, so yeah, it's, it's getting that 225 00:20:52,880 --> 00:21:01,200 mindset of, you know, don't break your body. Don't break yourself while you're doing this sport. Um, 226 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,200 unless you think it's really worth it to do that, because otherwise you've got the rest of your life 227 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:14,720 to live and you need to make sure people respond to you as opposed to you as the athlete, uh, 228 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,360 because you know, there's two different things, right? Um, and you've got to have people liking 229 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:24,240 you and respecting you outside of the sport and outside of being an athlete. So whenever you're 230 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:30,000 not an athlete anymore, well, now you're just you, now you're just a person that did play that sports. 231 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:36,080 So what do you do now? Like what's, if you, if you, if you were with a, with the athletic 232 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,720 compare brand, whatever, are they going to keep you on? Cause now you're not in the sports, 233 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:46,320 but are you enough of a name and personality and people like you enough as a person to still buy 234 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,640 shoes from you essentially? Cause we tell our, our, especially our track athletes, look, 235 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:56,480 you're a shoe salesman. Okay. You're a shoe salesperson. Your job as far as the companies 236 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,960 are concerned is to sell shoes. How many shoes are you going to sell for them? Um, so you're 237 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:08,160 either going to be Michael Jordan or Al Bundy or somewhere in between. So you're, you're either, 238 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,760 you're the poster that people are saying, I want to be like Mike or you're Al Bundy who was great 239 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,560 in high school. And then now he's selling, putting shoes on feet. So which, which shoe salesman do 240 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,760 you want to be? Um, and you're going to wind up somewhere in that, in that range, but you've got 241 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:30,720 to get yourself out there and have people like you and respect you enough to where they want to still 242 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,720 do stuff with you after the sport. And a lot of people, a lot of athletes forget about that 243 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,920 while they're in the sport and they get out of the sport. And then nobody will touch them after 244 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:45,600 that because they were just either tough to work with or they built the wrong brand around themselves 245 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,440 and they just couldn't get away from it anymore. Yeah. They didn't have a vision of that future. 246 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,840 I didn't forget about it. I never even thought about it. Um, when I was in my athletic career. 247 00:22:53,840 --> 00:23:01,040 So speaking of Al Bundy, um, what's your worst leadership experience ever? Oh my God. 248 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:08,000 Where's worst leadership experience ever. Um, man, there's so, I'd say there's so many in the, 249 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,160 in the fitness industry and the subliminal industry. Um, I mean, it all comes down to ego 250 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,680 at some point, right? Um, either somebody's trying to control stuff way too much. Um, 251 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:20,880 you got a good story. 252 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Man, I don't want to talk bad about anybody. 253 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,360 You can name them, uh, Paul Smith or something like that. That's fine. Yeah. 254 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:41,760 Um, well, we'll say, so a gym I was at previously, uh, the guy in charge really wanted everything 255 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,000 to run his way specifically. And I get that because it's, you know, it's your place. You want it to 256 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,240 run, you want things to run a certain way. Um, programming stuff like that. Uh, to the point 257 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,760 that you, he would write programs for everybody to utilize. So I think that's the best way to 258 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:01,760 utilize. Um, I would not utilize the programs that were written because I have a brain. I like to 259 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,400 think I like to do what's right for my clients. And so I kind of bucked the system on that. And 260 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:12,960 there was a resistance and some of the other trainers went along and rebelled with me for a 261 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:20,240 little while. And that caused some issues. Um, which is, you know, he wanted everything to be 262 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,280 his, his way, his direction, his programming language and nothing outside of that. And don't 263 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:33,120 question it. And once people started questioning it, well, um, I had to go because I was the black 264 00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:39,360 sheep that was throwing all the questioning in. So, but, uh, there was that one, um, 265 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:47,440 that, and so in some industry, um, you know, when I was there, not an ego thing, but a, 266 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:54,480 an overselling thing, right? So some people might oversell who they are, what they do, um, 267 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,800 or the company, or put it into a really, really bad position by overselling things and underselling 268 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:09,440 things. And, um, uh, underselling your staff is never good. So the way that's out there on the 269 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,640 road, you're doing stuff, they're, they're supposed to be helping build the business and they come in 270 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,680 behind you and undersell you and undercut you on deals. And then you find that afterwards, 271 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,920 the deal that you did with somebody, you just got undercut by your boss or the owner of the company 272 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:31,680 because he needed some cash in the pocket. Um, so because he oversold himself on, in a few certain 273 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:38,080 ways and put things into a really bad financial bind. Um, so those are probably some of the, 274 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:45,280 some of the worst things I've been around and been in, um, for myself also. So the, 275 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,720 when we started Olympic bit, uh, there was some, some control issues on my side of stuff, which is 276 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,280 just, I mean, once you get out to my place, I like things to be done a certain way. And I was overly 277 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:02,080 controlling things and not allowing people to do things. And, uh, it was a, well, if I don't do 278 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,280 this, who's going to do it? And they're like, well, maybe just don't worry about that. And somebody 279 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:10,960 else will take care of it. I was like, well, who's going to take care of it? Let us figure that out. 280 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,080 Okay. So I let them figure it out and they figured it out and things ran smoothly and it's like, 281 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:24,080 okay. So I guess I can't be, if you're not hands off, you can't allow people to be a hands-on. 282 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,520 It's probably the bigger, bigger thing there that for me that I learned, because I am very hands-on 283 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:36,560 about everything. And once again, it's making sure people can do things properly and things are done. 284 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:42,880 If people aren't doing stuff, I'll automatically pick up and start doing it. Um, so yeah, it's, 285 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,280 it's being hands-off and allowing people to, to do stuff and allowing people to fail and then 286 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,360 supporting them whenever they fail and picking them back up and a lot of stuff. But, uh, yeah, 287 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:58,160 overly controlling situations can be a, a big issue from a leadership standpoint. You have to 288 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,120 like kind of sit back and if things fall off a little bit, you kind of have to let them fall off. 289 00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:09,440 So other people will have to engage and pick things up. Um, which is a really tough one to do 290 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,440 because you don't like to, nobody likes to see things like lagging upon apart here and there. 291 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,600 It's like, I wish they'd do something and eventually they do and you're like, okay, 292 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,960 they picked it up. I don't have to know. Um, so it's, it's allowing people to, 293 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:30,080 to take the reins and do stuff. Yeah, very good. Um, what's your best leadership experience 294 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:39,600 look like? Ah, best leadership experience. Um, you know, so MLMs, they get a bad rap at times, 295 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,280 right? Um, I will say some of the best leadership I've seen has come out of direct sales companies. 296 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,520 Uh, mostly because I don't think people realize this in direct sales and, you know, all the 297 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,680 multi-level stuff, like you have to lead and organize, organize and lead a team. Yeah. 298 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:04,000 Really, really well. Like anybody gets in there, which, oh man, it's, you have to be a manager. 299 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,240 Like you have to be a good leader to do it. It's true. You have to have a lot of good leadership 300 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,000 traits. You don't have to be a good leader. You do have to have a lot of great leadership traits 301 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,160 in order to do it. And it's, I've seen some of the best leadership, um, training, teaching 302 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,480 experiences come out of, out of MLM, along with some bad ones, but some really good ones, because 303 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:28,080 you really do have to get up there and like, this is my team. These are my people. And. Yep. Like the, 304 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:34,800 the buildup, you've got to really be a, a person that, that pours into your people. Um, importing 305 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:40,320 into the people, as opposed to, uh, calling them all day going, did you make sales today? Right. 306 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:46,080 Cause there are those. There are. But I've seen some others in, in that industry that, man, they just, 307 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,840 they love people so much. They, they pour into their people and their team down below them. And they, 308 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,280 even when they move companies, cause that happens a lot. Their people go with them because 309 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:04,800 yes, the conversation, but also they are going with that person has led them to some success 310 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,440 and better things in life and really helped them out in their lives. Um, let's talk about that. 311 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,800 Cause, uh, I'm a big fan of, of, uh, the training programs as well. I would agree. 312 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:21,200 Multivari marketing has one of the best incubation systems as a whole, um, for leadership 313 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,400 development. They're very, very good. And that's one of the things that, that subconsciously 314 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,160 inspires people to dive into these opportunities. There's this belonging aspect. You mentioned this 315 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:37,920 jumping ship, um, that, that occurs. Well, that also is a reflection of the leadership above the 316 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:43,200 leader who jumped ships. See a lot of these contracts say we can adjust your compensation 317 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:49,200 at any time. Um, plus there's very stringent non-competes, um, non-disclosures that are baked 318 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:54,880 into that. And so not until you're that six figure a month earner where they say, okay, 319 00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:01,760 you cost us too much money now. Um, you know, you gotta go. Yeah. And so I don't, I don't blame 320 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,080 people at all for jumping ships when they, but another challenge is when you get into that 321 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,960 network marketing and you've had no business experience, you don't read the fine print. 322 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,040 Oh, you don't know about it. You're excited about all the hype that's around you. And some of the 323 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,280 hype is driven by people who want to make millions and millions of dollars. Most of the people that 324 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:24,160 are in it though, don't most of the people bought the product and they're happy to belong and mom 325 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,520 or dad pressured them into it, or you pressure your mom and your dad into it. And that's why they're 326 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,400 in, they're in it as well. And, and so there's a lot of negative realities that go along with that 327 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:38,320 process too, but there's a lot of honorable things that we learn. That's where most of my base for 328 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,400 business leadership came from was learning through my failures of network marketing. 329 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,600 Oh yeah. And you'll, you'll learn a lot. You'll learn a lot about yourself and really what it takes 330 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:53,600 to make it from a business standpoint, because when you go out there, I mean, it's, it's you out there. 331 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,800 And you got to figure out, okay, are you pushing a product? Are you pushing you? Are you, and you 332 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,760 learn a whole lot about should I be running a business at all? Right. Because you, you quite 333 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,040 literally are kind of running a business and a lot of people don't realize that in the beginning. 334 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:16,800 You are running your own independent business inside of a business, right? Yep. And also for, 335 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,760 like somebody's just working a regular nine to five, it's great because now you start realizing 336 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:27,760 what happens above you in that business structure. And so sometimes you'll get, people actually get 337 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:34,880 more engaged in their nine to five regular job while they're doing the MLM thing, because well, 338 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:40,400 I'm not doing this to get this, and I think I know why now. And they start getting more engaged in 339 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,560 your job next to know they're getting, they're moving up the ranks in their normal job, right? 340 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,320 Or they get really good to doing stuff with the MLM and they realize, okay, I'm better doing this 341 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:56,160 than just being in this, in the system and the normal job structure. I'm better doing my own 342 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,360 thing. So it's, it really helps people figure that thing out. Should I, should I be an entrepreneur 343 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:06,160 and go out and build something myself or am I better in a system helping the system build? 344 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:14,400 Yep. But either way, the engagement factor goes through the roof on that because you start 345 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:20,720 learning a whole lot more about how things work for real as opposed to I'm here at my desk, I'm 346 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,440 doing my thing. Well, yeah, but here's all the other things that have to happen below you and 347 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,080 above you. And if you don't do your thing, then none of these other things can happen. 348 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:35,280 And so, yeah, it's listen, it gets MLM and direct sales, network marketing gets a bad connotation 349 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:42,080 a lot of times because of some bad people that have been in it or the usual, people always 350 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,160 conflate things and pull things out proportionate about, well, yeah, put all this money into it and 351 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,000 did this and this and this. Well, first of all, you didn't plan when you went into it, you just 352 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:59,040 jumped into it. But whenever you do it, you have to learn how to get out and engage and 353 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,520 learn a whole lot about yourself in the process of doing that and 354 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:12,480 your reasons and motivations for doing things and how to explain it to people and 355 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,760 get yourself out there in the world and be seen or don't need to be 356 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:24,000 independent or didn't be a part of something and have somebody giving me like, here's your 357 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,800 structure for the day. Here's what you need to do. Or can you sit down and here's my structure for 358 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,600 the day. These are the things I'm going to accomplish. Here's the hit list. Here's the top 359 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,280 things I got to do. Here's the bottom things I got to do. And are you able to make that list, 360 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:43,040 go through it and do it. And people learn that, figure that out really, really quickly. 361 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:48,080 Yep, definitely. Let's talk about powerful lessons. So if this was your last opportunity ever 362 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,320 to share a powerful lesson with other visionaries so they can learn from your experience, 363 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,520 what would the powerful lesson be? 364 00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:06,480 Powerful lesson. It's not about you. That's the biggie. It's not about you and it is about you. 365 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:13,840 So everybody's going through something. Everybody has things going on. And so somebody comes to you 366 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,760 with a problem, they're going off you about something. It's never really about you. It's 367 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:25,040 about something that's going on. The place that is about you is how you respond to that. And so 368 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,600 do you go back at them or do you find out, hey, what's the real issue here? What's going on? How 369 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,640 can I do this? And then you can go back and do the same thing. And then you can go back and do the 370 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:41,200 real issue here. What's going on? How can I help you out? As opposed to just starting a war over 371 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,480 somebody coming at you, being angry about you, something that because they're not really angry 372 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,280 about you, they're angry about the situation. Maybe something's going on at home. Maybe something else 373 00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:53,360 is an issue that they're having to deal with. They don't know how to deal with it. 374 00:34:54,480 --> 00:35:03,600 So it's that whole thing. It's never really about you, but it's your job to help out at times. 375 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,400 And that's probably the biggest thing. And that's in everything. That's in 376 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:14,400 your public relationships. That means with business stuff. That means somebody walking the door into 377 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:20,160 your business. That means working with your parents, with your wife, with your husband, 378 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:27,360 whoever. Big one with those. Realize if you're married, because I've been married before, 379 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:34,400 I've been married before. It's not about you and you really have to be a real partner in things 380 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:44,320 more so than you would expect at times. And if you're not a good partner, they're not going to 381 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,080 lean into you and give you the story and tell you what's really going on. They're going to find 382 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:54,960 somebody else to do that with. And at that point, things start separating pretty quickly. So being 383 00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:01,280 able to be open and be a real partner in that, also in business too. So like me and my business 384 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:07,360 partner, we've had some of this hell or at some point, and we sat down and we talked, we got 385 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:18,240 through it and things just have exploded and been great since then. But yeah, it's not about you, 386 00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:28,320 but it is about you. That would be the biggie. It's a very similar quote to people don't care 387 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:34,960 how much you know until they know how much you care about them. So that's what makes it about 388 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:40,000 them. But then that's also why I coined the quote, not the first part of the quote, which is, 389 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:47,280 it's not what you know, it's who you know. That's the quote. My quote is, it's not what you know, 390 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,800 it's who you know. And then it's what you know. Because if you get yourself into a situation 391 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,920 where you can help, but you don't know what to do or how to help, then you're pretty much, 392 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:03,680 you're going to burn the bridge with the person who got you in the door. So I believe you're 100% 393 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:09,840 right. It's not about you first. It's about serving and helping others. And then it does come down to, 394 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,120 are you capable? Are you qualified? Are you able to help people? Let's take some time to talk about 395 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,920 mastering your personal health responsibility. So how do we go, what is personal health 396 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:26,640 responsibility and how do we go about mastering it? Well, for that one, Royce, it is all about you. 397 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,560 Nobody else can get you healthy. Nobody else can do anything for you. Nobody can make you eat well. 398 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:42,000 Nobody can make you exercise. Nobody can make you do anything at all. Right? Right. 399 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,040 Now some people like to mandate how you do things. I'm not big on mandates. I do not like those. 400 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:55,520 Because it is up to you to do things for yourself. And that is the responsibility piece of it, 401 00:37:56,240 --> 00:38:00,640 which is taking care of your health. Because I mean, you have this body. We do have replacement 402 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,680 parts. The replacement parts, they're decent. They're all right. They'll work for a couple of 403 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,560 years, but they're not like the originals. They're not like the original. They're not like the 404 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:19,280 originals. Barring birth defects and things like that. But for the most part, you're born with this 405 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:29,280 fantastically incredible thing that we live in. Right? Best vehicle ever made. And so it's learning 406 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,680 how to take care of that. It is your responsibility to take care of it because you've been given this 407 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:40,960 thing. Right? You've been given this body to live in for your entire life. So it's much like a car. 408 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,720 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 409 00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:48,640 of your car, you're not going to get very many miles out of it. And then you'll get another one 410 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,120 and another one and another one and another one. Right. And I guess really expensive. Also, if you 411 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:59,200 don't do basic maintenance, car repairs, if you haven't noticed, are really expensive now. Yeah. 412 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:06,400 And yes, you can have insurance and insurance does help. Yes. But the point of insurance is never 413 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:13,840 having to use it ever. If you do the maintenance as you're supposed to, you rotate your tires, 414 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,320 get your oil changed. You need to rotate your own tires. You need to change your own oil daily. 415 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:25,760 What does that look like? Moving from the analogy to the physical reality. 416 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:31,440 Well, that means you need to move every day. Right. And differently, like if you do the same 417 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,520 thing over and over and over again, you're going to have wear, excessive wear on your body. So 418 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:44,240 I'm like, I hate to pick on runners, but if you run the same thing every day, you're going to have 419 00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:49,520 excessive wear on the joints, on your knees, hips, spine. You're going to have some excess wear on 420 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:56,400 your brain as well. You're running like this. When you run, you will start having some brain damage. 421 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,880 So making sure that you have a well-rounded system. You are doing some strength training, 422 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,040 you're doing some stretching, you're doing breath work, you are doing some cardiovascular stuff, 423 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:10,080 you're running, you're biking, you're swimming. So it's taking something that you like to do, 424 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:15,440 which you know you're good at, doing that for the most part, like 80-20 rule, 80% of what you know 425 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:24,240 you're good at and then 20% of everything else. So you mix it up. And this way you're rotating your 426 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:30,000 tires all the time. That's brilliant. I hadn't thought about the running aspect and the brain 427 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,080 drawing, but it reminds me of Japanese water torture. I'm learning about that as a kid, 428 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:40,160 where they drip the water on your forehead and it eventually ends up carving a hole. 429 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:52,640 Or driving you insane. You wouldn't think about the erosion effect. We studied that too in middle 430 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,400 school about the erosion effect of water on Grand Canyon and stuff like that. We would do little 431 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:05,280 models for it. But the fact that, okay, that doesn't happen when you, if I have four drops 432 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:12,240 of water on my head right now, it's not going to hurt me. But in excessive proportions, it will. 433 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:18,560 And the same is true of running, but I hadn't really considered that fact of running the brain. 434 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:23,600 Mileage. Yeah, mileage is mileage. You're either having good mileage or even bad mileage, but 435 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,080 still mileage is mileage. Yeah, but you bring up a good point though, 436 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:36,320 and our bodies, being the best vehicle, they're restorative too. If I exercise a portion of my 437 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:45,760 body appropriately for the day, then it rests, relax, rejuvenates. The miles can be restored, 438 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:51,840 not fully. We all are going to die eventually, but in good capacity, some of us have healthier 439 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:57,920 lives long-term than others. This is where the diet comes in. So what you eat, what you take in, 440 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:06,400 nutritional supplements, all that stuff, look at it like you have bricks. Actually, we can call 441 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,880 fat protein and carbohydrate your bricks. These are the big building blocks that we put in. 442 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,760 The one thing that you got to have to go with bricks is you got to have some mortar, 443 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,800 because if you don't have mortar between the bricks, the bricks are going to fall apart. 444 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,640 Any house, if you build it with just bricks, that house ain't going to be up for very long. 445 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,520 You have mortar in between the bricks, really good mortar. It's there. It's going to last for 446 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:37,600 thousands of years. You're probably going to live thousands of years, but the longer you want to 447 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:42,080 live and the better things fit together, you want to have some good mortar. That would be all the 448 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:48,320 micronutrients. That's all your vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are just the 449 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:55,040 vitamins that don't have a letter associated with them yet. Make sure you have all that put together 450 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:59,920 well-rounded so everything that goes in your body gets utilized like it's supposed to, and so your 451 00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:05,200 body can regenerate really well. As opposed to just coming in here, you go out, you go run, 452 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:12,320 you work out. I had my protein for the day. That's great, man, but how are you going to break it down 453 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:17,280 and utilize it? Have you had some enzymes to go with it? Do you have any probiotics in there? 454 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,440 What kind of minerals and vitamins do you have going into breaking it down? You want to take it 455 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:28,480 into your cells and actually use it so your body can repair and regenerate. Some people would argue 456 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:35,680 that God gave us everything. We don't need to know all of that, but I would argue take a look at the 457 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:46,160 timeline of life expectancy for a human being from the early BCs to now and how much we've progressed 458 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:51,680 in terms of our ability to live much, much, much longer than we ever have in the past. It has a 459 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,760 lot to do with teachings like this. What's one secret that you would give us or maybe two 460 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:01,840 on mastering our discipline to be responsible with our health? 461 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:10,720 In the beginning, charting stuff, writing it down. This way you can hold yourself accountable. 462 00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:17,360 Now, after a while, you don't really need to do that, but in the beginning, just like anything else, 463 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:24,960 you have to chart it the entire time and figure out, okay, from day to day, am I eating what I'm 464 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:30,480 supposed to be eating? Am I doing the exercises I'm supposed to be doing? It'll take a year, 465 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:38,080 year to 18 months of doing that successfully to where now it's a lifestyle and you can just do it 466 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:43,120 on the fly. It just stays up here for the most part. You know what to eat. You know how you feel 467 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:49,360 after certain meals, after workouts, how much you need to have going in and out. I love that. 468 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:57,280 Charting is huge because this way you have something to go back and reference 469 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,080 if something's not going right. Same thing in business and life and everything else, but 470 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,280 if you have a catalog, you have it charted, you can always go back and reference stuff and go, 471 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,520 okay, why am I gaining weight now? Or why am I not gaining? Why am I not gaining the muscle I want to 472 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:17,200 be gaining? Why is my mileage suffering? Why is, why am I feeling more aches and pains? Well, you 473 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:23,840 start looking at, here's your history. Here's what's been going on. Okay, I think I know what I need to 474 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,400 do. Here's what I need to change. Here's what I need to add in. Maybe I need to start looking 475 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,280 at some supplements here. Maybe I need to look at doing something to do with my diet. Maybe my 476 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:39,680 exercise regimen needs to change up because like you see the up and down fluctuations of, okay, 477 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:46,000 I know what I'm doing good. I know what I'm doing bad. And it's charting. It really helps out, 478 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:53,840 especially, especially if you are a highly ADD and your world is just in chaos all over the place. 479 00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:00,720 Having that really helps out because it helps you focus on it. If you're highly focused, 480 00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:07,440 because I know some hyper-focused people, hi, Mr. Hyper-focused, don't do it too much because 481 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:14,000 you'll get too dialed into the details and you'll get lost in the details and you will 482 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:20,160 destroy yourself with the details. Speaking of that, Clint, one of the cautions I would share 483 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:26,640 with people, one, I love the idea of charting it. I am not a big fan of apps that track your nutrition 484 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:31,440 intake and tell you generally what you're supposed to do because I tried that once, 485 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:37,680 like for a long period. And I was trying to live according to this app that did not know my personal 486 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:43,120 needs. I was trying to do it without a personal trainer and I could feel myself getting more and 487 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:49,440 more disconnected from my health even though I was following this regimen that was highly recommended 488 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:56,160 by 4 million reviews and all these blog articles that say how amazing this is. So if you're going 489 00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,960 to track what it is you're doing, like Clint said, we've also got to listen to our body 490 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:06,240 and know what our body is saying. And if we really want to maximize our results, 491 00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:12,160 then it's incredibly important that we find a health engineer, that we find somebody who's 492 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,960 got the knowledge of, again, how do these bricks and mortar come together? How do we build our best 493 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,480 self? I would say that's my number one tip for everybody who's listening in right now. 494 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:26,880 If you want to become a master over your personal health, find somebody who is a master of personal 495 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:31,520 health that you're comfortable with, that you want to work with and work with them. So you'll be able 496 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:36,480 to access Clint's information on the landing page as well so you can reach out to him. Visionaries, 497 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:41,120 if you have a vision that you'd like to share as well, then don't hesitate on visionproselive.com 498 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,040 to click the button, it says be our guest. We'd love to have you. If you have a friend, family 499 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,040 member, somebody who would benefit from the conversation that you just heard, tag them. 500 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,760 And I know if you have a question about health, don't hesitate to drop that in the comments as 501 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:58,080 well. We'll make sure Clint gets those as well. Before we wrap up, Clint, is there any final thing 502 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:08,240 you want to share? You know, the big thing is people need to de-stress. That's a biggie. Stress 503 00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:15,680 is a major killer. There's a lot of stress out there from everything, right? So the big thing is 504 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:22,000 find a way to de-stress yourself. Go take a walk, do some breathing, find a nice green space to get 505 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:28,000 into. By green space, I mean something that has grass and leaves and trees and stuff that you can 506 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:33,600 be a part of. Get into nature with yourself because we get stuck in these places. Like, 507 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:39,840 I'm in this big white room. If you're indoors too much, it's going to destroy you. So get outside, 508 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:45,360 get connected to nature a little bit more because we are natural things. We're natural beings. 509 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:52,000 And sleep. Get your sleep. Get your sleep. That's right. 510 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:57,200 I think everybody listening will be happy to hear that as an advice. We hope that you follow the 511 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:02,080 actions we invite you to. Vision Pros, have a fantastic rest of your day.
