1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,680
Yeah, makes for a busy, productive life.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,440
And I love what you're talking about.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,360
I can't remember.

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,560
It might have been, I got to give a shout out to a couple of past guests.

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,000
So Jared Button was on the show recently.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,280
I highly recommend checking his episode out.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,640
Probably one of the most centered peace drivers,

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,800
happiness through suffering, like very,

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,720
very cool concepts that you don't hear talked about often and very poised.

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,200
And his delivery.

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,640
And then there was Rain Zeben, a holistic coach out of Australia area,

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,120
New Zealand, something some some east, I guess it's east.

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,880
It's a globe that's round, but we call it the east, right?

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,160
Part of the world. But they they both,

15
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:51,680
one of them mentioned the concept of not looking in the rearview mirror at life

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,000
or trying to drive forward while looking at the rearview mirror.

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,880
I was like, oh, that's really deep.

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,000
That's really deep and profound.

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,960
And, you know, letting go of that so that you can move forward and not not.

20
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,200
And he talked about the destructive nature of journaling.

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Watch out. That was really interesting because everybody talks about that.

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,960
Always being a positive, but.

23
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,520
You know, prudence in all things, I guess.

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,720
So do you have three resources that you recommend provisioners?

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,200
We dive in and we talk about inner work,

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,720
moving from trauma to the trail of fulfillment as our best self.

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,360
I mean, you're very articulate in how you go about.

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,480
Creating a fulfilling life, and I love and appreciate that very much.

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Like, OK, there's some deep wisdom here.

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,360
What resources would you recommend first?

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Ooh, first, I would recommend your body.

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Oh, that's a good one. Yeah.

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,960
You know, before that's a really smart answer.

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,840
Yeah, you are always going to be your number one expert at you.

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Your life is not meant to look like or be exactly like anyone else is.

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,720
And so bringing people back to themselves, back into their own authority,

37
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,920
back into their own intuition, into their own decision making.

38
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:15,560
You are always your number one expert.

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,920
And so when I work with people, I'm just I'm guiding them back to themselves

40
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,640
and to the expert that lives inside of them.

41
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:27,120
We all have one, and it's this inborn wisdom of our physical vessel.

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320
It's always trying to communicate with us.

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,840
It is always giving us the correct answers.

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,200
It is always full of information that we can use to make the correct decisions

45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,480
for ourselves. And so always and forever, you are your number one expert.

46
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,520
Wow, that is deep.

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,080
We're going to have to come back to this because sometimes I think my body's lying to me

48
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,280
or leaving me in the dark.

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,200
So we'll come back to this because I wonder if other people feel the same.

50
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,680
But I know it's supposed to be able to like, you know, trust it and know what to do.

51
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,600
So it's very, it's very good.

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,840
OK, what's resource two and three?

53
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,720
Dr. Gabor Mate, I adore him.

54
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,720
I adore his work. I adore the the way that he's leading

55
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,800
really important conversations that are filling in really large gaps

56
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:29,400
that have been missing in in psychology, in in medicine, just in being human.

57
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:35,000
And he's one of the foremost thought leaders on trauma, on addiction, on ADHD

58
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,680
and really bringing in like the childhood developmental pieces.

59
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:47,520
And I just I feel so expansive when I when I hear him talk.

60
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,120
And I love, love the work he's doing.

61
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,600
I love that. In fact, I see that he was just on recently the Diary of a CEO,

62
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,920
which is a phenomenal podcast.

63
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,640
And it's got a big title. This is I regret my interview with Prince Harry.

64
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,640
So there's all sorts of drama baked into that episode.

65
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,240
But cool. That's that's a fun one.

66
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,440
And again, those listening in, I am absolutely a fan of that show.

67
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,440
What's number three?

68
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,120
Number three. Oh, man.

69
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:20,720
I have lots of other people that I respect and admire and appreciate.

70
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,760
As far as like bigger names and like doing the work.

71
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:29,240
There's several Dr. Steven Porges.

72
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,600
He is the developer of Polyvagal Theory.

73
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,040
Dr. Peter Levine.

74
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,240
Basil van der Kolk, he wrote The Body Keeps the Score.

75
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,520
There's a theme here.

76
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,960
Yeah, I'm seeing the theme.

77
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,360
They're all doctors. I'm just kidding.

78
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,960
I know it's deeper than that.

79
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,120
So what is the theme, though?

80
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Let's point it out for those who may not be catching the theme or know.

81
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Yeah, it's it's back to the first piece.

82
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,240
And that's that our body is such a magnificent vessel

83
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,920
and has so much that it is capable of.

84
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,720
It is so adaptable.

85
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,160
And I think that's the theme.

86
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,000
I think that the way that we I know that the way that we approach our body,

87
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,840
especially from like the programming perspective of our society, is

88
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,760
so counterproductive.

89
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,000
And I know for a long time personally, like I resented my body,

90
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,120
especially because I lived for a very long time with chronic pain.

91
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,600
And that is still kind of intermingled in my experience.

92
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,960
And so for the longest time, my body was my enemy.

93
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,720
You know, my mind wanted to go places.

94
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,320
I wanted to do things. And I thought of this as like a hindrance.

95
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,400
Right. And it's actually like it has all of the answers.

96
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,440
And it's done so much for me.

97
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,880
And the way that it stores repressed trauma, repressed

98
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,360
emotional experiences and the way that it's formed to keep us safe.

99
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,640
There are so many different systems that are operating inside of us

100
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,640
at all times without our instruction.

101
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:06,200
That is it's just mind blowing.

102
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,880
The things that these these bodies are capable of.

103
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,880
Right. Absolutely.

104
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,680
I agree with that. And one thing that strikes me a common core.

105
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,520
Now, I'll look at this as I learn more about the doctors

106
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,920
that you just recommended and the resources is I love that you turn to mentors

107
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,800
as your resource, not necessarily the resource

108
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,760
that is the watered down version of the mentor itself.

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,280
Right. Any book is just a fraction of the original creator.

110
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,200
And so that's really neat.

111
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,920
And I have a feeling these mentors empower you

112
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960
rather than control you.

113
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,120
You know, if they're guiding you back to listen to your body,

114
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,920
they're not telling you I am the answer, you know, as much as giving you

115
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,680
the empowerment to know that you have it.

116
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,040
And that is something that I absolutely look for in resources

117
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:56,040
and confidence and mentors.

118
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,000
Anybody who tells me what to do or tries to control my vision,

119
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,680
you know, isn't necessarily again, they can't see the lens of my life.

120
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,000
So it's it's a very limiting way to try to guide people.

121
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,200
So thank you for that, Meridyth.

122
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,520
We're going to come right back on.

123
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,880
We'll dive into Meridyth's vision.

124
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,080
We'll talk about inner work.

125
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,720
We'll be talking about moving from your trauma to the what I call

126
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,280
the trail of fulfillment or the path to get there as our best self.

127
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,520
And we'll be right back, everybody. Take notes.

128
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,160
It'll be fun. All right.

129
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,520
Welcome in to Vision Pros Live with Jackson.

130
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Calame, I'm your show host.

131
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,360
We'll be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs and guest leaders

132
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,680
who are building fantastic visions out there.

133
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,720
Hey, what's up, everybody?

134
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,160
Welcome into another episode of Vision Pros Live.

135
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,840
I'm your show host, Jackson Calame, founder and CEO of First Class Business.

136
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,920
And I'm very excited to have Meridyth Driskill on the show today.

137
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,760
We're going to be talking about trauma and fulfillment, as I mentioned,

138
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,920
and being our best self.

139
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,480
And we're going to try to get into some depth of how to dig that out of ourself.

140
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,840
Also, how not to be scared or afraid of doing so.

141
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,800
We'll also talk about we'll try to dive deep into how Meridyth and I

142
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,480
can also up level our own ability to dedicate ourselves

143
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,400
to our trail of fulfillment as our best selves.

144
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,880
We'll have some fun coaching each other in the process.

145
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,000
So in addition to that, before I move into our topic,

146
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
I always like to give resources that have been helpful to me.

147
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,760
One of them is a podcast guest named Melissa Gray, who became a client.

148
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,040
And she is with the LawSpot.

149
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,600
We are now strategic partners in addition to our client relationship.

150
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:44,120
And the big reason why is I spent too many years operating as a business owner

151
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,960
and seen thousands of business owners operate without legal protection by their side.

152
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,200
Now, don't get me wrong.

153
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,640
We did have when I had my twenty thousand dollar lawsuit when I was at Restaurant Connect,

154
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,920
somebody tried to steal our name.

155
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,120
We had legal counsel, but we hadn't done our full due diligence.

156
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,600
So even though we won that trademark lawsuit,

157
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,600
did we really when we spent twenty thousand dollars we didn't have on it?

158
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,480
And every time I had interviewed different attorneys in business

159
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,720
and people who could collect, collect or protect intellectual property and

160
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,680
and help us in certain scenarios, I never felt comfortable with not only the advice

161
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:24,480
that I didn't understand, but the general attitude and feeling of working with that entity.

162
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,760
I never felt even like a number was like, well, you know, we either work with them or we don't.

163
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:34,840
They weren't very good at helping us feel like we were a valued client of theirs.

164
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,080
I cannot say.

165
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,480
I have to say so much, actually, about the value of Melissa Gray

166
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,520
and how she leads and what she's up to.

167
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,520
I hope you take the chance to hear her episode.

168
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,320
And also, if you do not have legal counsel that you're comfortable with,

169
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,440
just consider talking to her about what she's up to and how she's building out

170
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,440
the spot on business blueprint to help you simplify your legal matters.

171
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,680
Then there's Andrew Sosa, and he's not a client.

172
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,280
He just came on the show. I really appreciate his program.

173
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,480
His program is called Recovery Unplugged.

174
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,520
As Meridyth and I were just talking about the programs,

175
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,280
I call them the watered down version of the individual or the leaders

176
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,760
because they're the byproduct of what that person studies, right?

177
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,440
That doesn't make the book Harry Potter bad.

178
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,480
It doesn't make the programs that we build bad.

179
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,320
What I'm saying is dive in as deep as possible when you find resources

180
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,440
and people that can help you with your growth.

181
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,840
Recovery Unplugged is all about helping people overcome addictions.

182
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,400
And with COVID, they decided to move their platform to an online virtual version

183
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,880
and create experiences online that did not used to be available in the past.

184
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,440
And they incorporate music into their processes.

185
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,080
They also have a 24-7 hotline to help people.

186
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,880
So if you have somebody that you know that is going through an addiction

187
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,280
and they could use help with that, that's exactly why I'm putting this on the show.

188
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,120
We all know people who struggle with stuff.

189
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,080
We know people who don't belong in society. They feel that way.

190
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,440
They feel like an outcast.

191
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,600
They're trying to escape life through different means of substances.

192
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,760
Could be Netflix, could be SBN, could be alcohol or drugs.

193
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,760
I highly recommend reaching out to a program like this

194
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,240
and seeking medical advice, rather counseling and advice on what do I do

195
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,520
in order to inspire and help my loved ones maximize

196
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,920
and fill their potential and probably escape the darkness

197
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,440
that they may be going through.

198
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,200
In addition to that, we always want to talk about and bring out the Water Project.

199
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:27,520
The Water Project is something that I don't really have to think about, so I choose to.

200
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,920
I have access to water every single day,

201
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,200
but I never want to forget that there's millions of people out there who do not.

202
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,400
And so we constantly talk about the Water Project and we give back to it.

203
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,600
And the neat thing is when you give to one of the communities

204
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,000
that the Water Project shows you can give to,

205
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,600
you then receive email updates about what's going on with that project.

206
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,880
You get to see the status updates.

207
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,320
You get to see it come to fruition.

208
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,960
So when you see these kids who don't have access to clean drinking water,

209
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,000
they have to leave school in order to go get water for the community

210
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,840
or for their families or the parents have to leave work in order to go get water.

211
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,000
It puts a tremendous amount of stress and pressure on an already struggling economy.

212
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,320
Once they're able to produce that water well,

213
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,120
you see these people celebrating it as though it's Christmas Day.

214
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,800
It's one of the neatest experiences, the most humbling experiences of my life.

215
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,360
It's just looking at these pictures and thinking, man,

216
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,360
I have never once had to go through that.

217
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,360
Now, we've all been affected by COVID economics.

218
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,640
There's a lot going on in the world.

219
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,800
So if you don't have the ability to give back,

220
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,360
my hope is that if you think of somebody who might,

221
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,360
maybe just tag them in and share this with them,

222
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,520
maybe just share it with your own communities.

223
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,160
And if you have a cause that you feel is more important than this,

224
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,200
or is something that you want to draw attention to,

225
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760
do not hesitate to use our platform to promote it.

226
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,440
Go ahead and drop it in the comments.

227
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,560
Let us know what you're up to.

228
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,720
Maybe it's something that I will also rock the mic about

229
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,680
and talk to people about and say, hey, here's another cause

230
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:46,960
that we can go about giving back to.

231
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,440
We've got 8 billion people in this world to help,

232
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,680
and it doesn't hurt to give a little bit more

233
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,720
and to go about doing that and helping each other out.

234
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,480
So without further ado,

235
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,720
we're going to bring Meridyth Driskill on board.

236
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,080
We're going to be talking about the easy, wonderful life.com a little bit,

237
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,720
maybe a little bit about her brand transition as well,

238
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,480
and how she's able to service as a holistic wellness practitioner.

239
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,000
So, Meridyth, thank you for joining me on Vision Pros Live.

240
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:12,800
Thanks for having me.

241
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,320
Absolutely.

242
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,680
So holistic trauma resolution practitioner.

243
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,640
Let's break those words down for people a little bit.

244
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,480
I'll let you lead.

245
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,600
Just describe that title for us if you don't mind.

246
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,240
Sure.

247
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,040
Well, holistic, I look at it from two different perspectives.

248
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,400
Holistic being natural, we're not using pills or artificial means.

249
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,320
We have all of the tools within ourselves to heal,

250
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,160
and so we employ those tools.

251
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,280
Sometimes we just need guidance to learn how to do things.

252
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,160
And then holistic, I also look at it as like the whole, right?

253
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,680
We're not just a head.

254
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:50,640
We're not just a brain.

255
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,600
We're not just a body.

256
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,560
We're not just a soul.

257
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,680
We're not just an energy system.

258
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:54,720
We're all of these things.

259
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,280
And to create sustainable transformation,

260
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,720
we have to look at the whole organism, the whole human.

261
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,200
You don't take your car to the shop and say,

262
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,440
I put gas in it and I don't understand why it's not running.

263
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,120
And it's like, well, what about like

264
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,520
the radiator and the motor?

265
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,040
There's all these pieces.

266
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,360
And so in our society, when we look at how we treat humans,

267
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,360
everything is so compartmentalized.

268
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,800
You go to a head doctor.

269
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,000
You go to a heart doctor.

270
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,760
You go to specialists.

271
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,080
And it's like, what about the entire organism

272
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,680
and how it functions as a whole?

273
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,240
So that's that piece.

274
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,720
And then trauma resolution.

275
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,800
Basically, I help people to live from their hearts

276
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,080
instead of their wounds.

277
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,920
And that looks like being able to be fully expressed,

278
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,320
authentic, setting and holding healthy boundaries,

279
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,520
not self-abandoning, people-pleasing, perfectionism,

280
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,320
like all of these patterns that we get stuck in

281
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,720
that are a result of trauma.

282
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,320
And then how do we instead collapse those patterns

283
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,160
and insert my three pillars,

284
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,240
which is safety, connection, and fulfillment?

285
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,840
Absolutely. All right.

286
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:09,200
So I'm a big fan of shifting the focus

287
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,760
from trauma to the fulfillment.

288
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,120
I don't know if that's right or not.

289
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,160
I know how it's helped me in my life.

290
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,520
So I'm grateful that you have that as part of your vision.

291
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,520
But Tanatha, to define your vision for you,

292
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,160
what is your vision for those that you serve?

293
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,320
For the people that I serve,

294
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,200
it's literally safety, connection, and fulfillment.

295
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,200
It's how do we actually make sure

296
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,760
that we're not just creating a new environment?

297
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,520
It's how do we create a felt sense of safety within the body

298
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,800
so that we are safe enough to connect with ourselves,

299
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,440
to connect with our own emotions,

300
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,200
to feel those emotions in a healthy way

301
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,560
and not shove them down and store them in our bodies

302
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,880
for them to later on manifest as physical dis-ease.

303
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,920
It is how do we create the safety for us to connect

304
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,440
with our own emotions in a healthy way

305
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,600
to create community, friendships,

306
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,600
family, healthy relationships?

307
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,480
A lot of times that looks like learning how to do things

308
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,840
that weren't how you experienced them in childhood.

309
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,440
A lot of times what we're taught

310
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,240
and how we're taught to operate in a relationship,

311
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,480
it's modeled and it's not the things

312
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,560
that we want to perpetuate.

313
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,120
So it's learning new relationship skills

314
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,800
and then fulfillment.

315
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,760
With no expectation, no societal conditioning, no nothing.

316
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,720
Who do you want to be?

317
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,760
What lights you up?

318
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,800
What do you wanna talk about?

319
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,600
What do you wanna do?

320
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,040
What makes you feel alive?

321
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,520
And how do we incorporate more of that into your life

322
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,200
so that you're experiencing fulfillment

323
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,640
and you can do whatever it is that sets your heart on fire?

324
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,560
I love it.

325
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,760
And speaking of that, what sets your heart on fire for you?

326
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,400
And what's your vision for yourself?

327
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,780
Elaborating on those details a bit.

328
00:16:56,780 --> 00:16:58,480
Well, there's personal and professional

329
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,480
and as a recovering workaholic,

330
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,480
well, I'm gonna answer the personal first, travel.

331
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,920
Travel lights me up.

332
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,320
I love traveling.

333
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,000
I love seeing the world through different lenses,

334
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,620
different cultures, different languages, nature.

335
00:17:15,620 --> 00:17:18,200
So traveling and nature, those two things combined.

336
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,880
I'm just like so happy.

337
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,520
I don't know if you can handle me.

338
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,160
How was Peru, what was your favorite part?

339
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,440
I can't pick one thing.

340
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,800
I hiked Andes for two weeks with a shaman

341
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,220
who was incredible.

342
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,100
I think that the most,

343
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,960
my favorite part, I think what I learned about myself

344
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,840
in the context of being able to travel,

345
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,360
I learned how resilient I am.

346
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,200
I learned how much joy and energy

347
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,920
there really is in my body.

348
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,520
And I learned how to connect to that

349
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,360
and how to move that and keep that a consistent mill

350
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:04,600
instead of damming it up.

351
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,600
And yeah, I learned that I'm a really good time.

352
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,320
Oh, that's awesome.

353
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,560
And do you have a travel destination on the horizon?

354
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,560
I have several.

355
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,500
I'm going to Dallas on Friday.

356
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:23,660
I am going to Hilton ahead this year.

357
00:18:23,660 --> 00:18:26,820
I'm going to the mountains, I think twice.

358
00:18:26,820 --> 00:18:28,380
I think next month.

359
00:18:28,380 --> 00:18:29,900
Yeah, I live in Tennessee.

360
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:32,380
So we're heading to Gatlinburg with the kiddo.

361
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:36,260
It's a secret for my birthday and for like school.

362
00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:37,180
Try not to go viral.

363
00:18:38,340 --> 00:18:40,340
Try not to blow up.

364
00:18:40,340 --> 00:18:41,220
Oh my gosh, that kid,

365
00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:42,540
he could find anything on the internet.

366
00:18:42,540 --> 00:18:43,380
It's terrifying.

367
00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:46,460
Yeah, we're going to the mountains a couple of times.

368
00:18:46,460 --> 00:18:48,700
My assistant who is also my best friend,

369
00:18:48,700 --> 00:18:51,340
she's helped me build my business over the last five years.

370
00:18:51,340 --> 00:18:54,140
She's flying in in two weeks from Australia.

371
00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:57,060
So got a little piece of Australia coming here.

372
00:18:57,060 --> 00:18:59,460
And then I'm leading a group of people

373
00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:01,940
back to Peru in April.

374
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:03,180
That's awesome.

375
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:04,820
That's okay, time for March, April.

376
00:19:04,820 --> 00:19:05,660
So a year from now.

377
00:19:05,660 --> 00:19:06,500
Yes.

378
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:07,780
I'm going to stay in that case, okay.

379
00:19:07,780 --> 00:19:10,220
I get lost in my months very quickly.

380
00:19:10,220 --> 00:19:12,700
All right, well, that's a beautiful vision.

381
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:14,100
It sounds like a lot of fun.

382
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:19,100
And let's dive into a darker subject.

383
00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:23,220
So what is the worst leadership experience

384
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:24,260
that you've ever had?

385
00:19:27,620 --> 00:19:29,660
We have a lot we could choose from.

386
00:19:31,980 --> 00:19:34,460
Macro versus how micro do you want to get?

387
00:19:34,460 --> 00:19:36,780
Because I've got a lot to say.

388
00:19:39,060 --> 00:19:41,460
Well, it's your time, your vision.

389
00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:45,940
So whichever you feel is going to be the most helpful

390
00:19:45,940 --> 00:19:47,700
to those who are listening.

391
00:19:47,700 --> 00:19:49,460
I'll trust your lead.

392
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:53,500
Man, I mean, I have personal experiences with leaders

393
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:58,500
who didn't lead well.

394
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:01,780
And I think that ultimately

395
00:20:01,780 --> 00:20:03,900
the worst leadership experience ever,

396
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:06,620
I'm going to have to come back to me.

397
00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:11,620
I have probably been the worst leader of myself at times

398
00:20:11,780 --> 00:20:12,700
that I could have been.

399
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:16,820
And that has been the thing that most impacted my life.

400
00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:21,820
And it was also based on what I thought leadership was,

401
00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:25,780
my relationship with leadership.

402
00:20:25,780 --> 00:20:30,580
I was raised in a very narrow-minded,

403
00:20:30,580 --> 00:20:35,140
very religious Southern Baptist family and community.

404
00:20:35,140 --> 00:20:37,500
And so there was a very, very narrow idea

405
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:38,780
of what leadership looked like.

406
00:20:38,780 --> 00:20:41,420
And it was usually an older white man.

407
00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:45,380
And no matter what, you had to yield to that.

408
00:20:45,380 --> 00:20:47,700
And then it was also God, right?

409
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,460
And like a very narrow concept of what God is

410
00:20:50,460 --> 00:20:55,460
and a very specific context and relationship

411
00:20:55,820 --> 00:20:59,700
with that leadership and with that vision of God.

412
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:01,660
And ultimately like that,

413
00:21:01,660 --> 00:21:05,140
I think made me a worst leader for myself

414
00:21:05,140 --> 00:21:07,020
because I was disempowered.

415
00:21:07,020 --> 00:21:10,820
Because I always thought that someone else

416
00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:12,060
should be leading me.

417
00:21:13,260 --> 00:21:18,260
That I was a world-class victim, right?

418
00:21:18,580 --> 00:21:23,580
The victimhood mentality was just refined on my end.

419
00:21:23,580 --> 00:21:26,660
And it was always like praying to God

420
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:28,540
for God's gonna fix it.

421
00:21:29,780 --> 00:21:31,220
And then not doing anything about it.

422
00:21:31,220 --> 00:21:32,940
So I saw a lot of that growing up.

423
00:21:32,940 --> 00:21:34,660
Like, oh, just give it to God, give it to God,

424
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:35,500
give it to God.

425
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,020
And it's like, what about my power?

426
00:21:38,020 --> 00:21:39,900
Like, what about me actually getting up

427
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:41,580
and doing something to change the circumstance

428
00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:44,220
or to change the situation or to change a pattern

429
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:47,020
or to take responsibility for something?

430
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:47,860
So yeah.

431
00:21:47,860 --> 00:21:48,680
Interesting.

432
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:49,520
A lot of that.

433
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,580
Oh no, it's huge.

434
00:21:50,580 --> 00:21:52,940
It's such an interesting,

435
00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:55,580
it's a difficult conversation for people to have

436
00:21:55,580 --> 00:21:59,340
in today's world that's so polarizing about events

437
00:21:59,340 --> 00:22:02,980
and about how these different life experiences

438
00:22:02,980 --> 00:22:03,820
come together.

439
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:06,380
I'm gonna ask a pointed question.

440
00:22:06,380 --> 00:22:08,460
You're welcome to take it any way you want to.

441
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:11,780
But so there's, you know, we can grow up in homes

442
00:22:11,780 --> 00:22:14,700
where there's controlling white male.

443
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:17,980
We can grow up in homes too where like religion domination

444
00:22:17,980 --> 00:22:21,540
or cold like behaviors, you know, dominate the environment

445
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:22,820
or atmosphere.

446
00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:27,300
Would you say that's led you to be anti-religion, anti-God?

447
00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:30,940
And now like, oh my gosh, our religion is evil and bad

448
00:22:30,940 --> 00:22:35,940
or is there room for harmony and balance

449
00:22:36,860 --> 00:22:41,420
related to self-growth, self-empowerment

450
00:22:41,420 --> 00:22:44,020
and perhaps relying on an external being

451
00:22:44,020 --> 00:22:46,140
or maybe not external, maybe that's not the word for it,

452
00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:48,660
but you know, a being that's higher than oneself.

453
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:49,860
What are your thoughts on that?

454
00:22:49,860 --> 00:22:50,680
Sure.

455
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,680
It definitely led me into rebellion for a long time.

456
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,560
And that, I mean, like that's just one of my

457
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,440
very strong parts.

458
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,220
Like if I'm not perfect, then like the rebellious

459
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:04,360
comes out really quickly.

460
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:07,240
So I definitely rebelled for a long time

461
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,040
and it was because when I asked questions, I wasn't met.

462
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,400
There wasn't dialogue.

463
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,280
It was, no, it's just this way because we said so.

464
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,500
Shut your questions down.

465
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:18,240
And so I felt silenced.

466
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,000
It's another really great way to bring out

467
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,320
the rebellious part of me.

468
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,260
So I left the church for a really long time.

469
00:23:24,260 --> 00:23:25,240
I wanted nothing to do with it.

470
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,120
I thought it was evil.

471
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:27,680
It made me uncomfortable.

472
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,280
I didn't want to be around it because it felt like

473
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,080
rejection and suppression.

474
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,080
And so for a long time, I wanted nothing to do with that,

475
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,120
with God, with Jesus, with any of the religious constructs

476
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:43,680
that I was raised in.

477
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,680
And I did a lot of traveling and I explored

478
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,320
a lot of really interesting conversations

479
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,840
with people from different religions

480
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,840
from all around the world.

481
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,680
And what really leapt out at me was that love

482
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,760
is the center of all of it.

483
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,520
And there's so much that's getting lost in the messaging.

484
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,300
There's so many things that are prioritized

485
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:04,240
over the message of love.

486
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,480
And it is not God that's doing this, right?

487
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,640
This is very much the creation of humans.

488
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,480
And so when I see religion being used as a way

489
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,600
to control people through the mechanisms of fear

490
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,680
and guilt and shame, I get real spicy.

491
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,840
And just in the last few years,

492
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,540
there has become room for God to come back in

493
00:24:29,540 --> 00:24:32,760
and for me to be able to connect to God

494
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,780
and to have my own experience of God

495
00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:40,720
and experience God in everything

496
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,000
and the magic and the beauty of that.

497
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,820
And I think, I know, I feel there's so much power

498
00:24:46,820 --> 00:24:53,080
in connecting to something higher than ourselves

499
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:58,000
and getting to have a spiritual connection to ourselves,

500
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,320
to our own divinity, and to all that is,

501
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,080
is I mean, I don't want to do life without that now.

502
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:06,760
That's cool.

503
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,960
It sounds like it's a constant opportunity for exploration

504
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,640
and expansion.

505
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,400
What is there?

506
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,840
Not an absolute like, oh my gosh, this was wrong,

507
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,800
so now I will only do this.

508
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,440
But there's layers and processes of discovery that go on.

509
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,600
So thank you for willing to put yourself out there.

510
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000
As far as worst leadership experience goes,

511
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,240
it's powerful to take accountability

512
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,920
for every situation we are in in life,

513
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,200
or at least our potential part in it.

514
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,000
So I hope other people can understand the value

515
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,920
of doing that while, again, keeping your confidence

516
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,400
and like who you are and you emulate that.

517
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,320
I think you have a great appreciation for yourself.

518
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,680
I hope you do.

519
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,760
That's what I see.

520
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,560
And that's what I would always hope for anybody

521
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,240
who might throw themselves under the bus, so to speak,

522
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,120
right as the world might portray that or the news.

523
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:03,680
But yeah, that was a very good example.

524
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,200
What is your best leadership experience?

525
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,560
What's the best leadership experience you've ever had?

526
00:26:09,940 --> 00:26:13,480
I just think of this, a certain type of leader.

527
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,160
I can name specific people, Tahwiti, Colwiti.

528
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,440
Those are two friends and mentors

529
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,160
who are incredible leaders.

530
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:27,080
But I think the qualities that I respect the most

531
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,720
that allow me to sink into a trust from a place

532
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,720
of like being led is being willing to be seen as imperfect

533
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,080
and not hide that and just say like, I'm a human

534
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,520
and I'm figuring it out and here's how I'm figuring it out.

535
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,400
I love being able to see the two people

536
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,840
that I just mentioned, Col and Tahwiti,

537
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,240
they're in Austin, Texas and they're incredibly,

538
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,800
yeah, they're brilliant human beings.

539
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,980
And I was at a conference that they were doing

540
00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:00,200
and they got into an argument.

541
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,960
Their husband and wife, they own this business together.

542
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,240
They do these trainings together

543
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,720
and they got into an argument and they paused everything

544
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,320
and they sat on the stage together

545
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,600
and they worked through this argument together

546
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,760
and in front of everyone.

547
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,920
And it was the most beautiful example of leadership

548
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,760
that I've seen because it was like,

549
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,560
I mean, their work is so embodied, right?

550
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,960
Like I'm going to be my whole fully expressed,

551
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,920
most authentic self at all times, including my big emotions.

552
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,920
And I get to do that in real time

553
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,180
and also show people how you can do that,

554
00:27:37,180 --> 00:27:38,800
how you can communicate differently,

555
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,680
how you can be your fullest self

556
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,060
and have all of your emotional experiences

557
00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:46,760
and do it in front of people and do it in a way

558
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,400
that inspires people to grow and do things differently

559
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,840
and look at things differently.

560
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,140
Then that was just an incredible experience to witness.

561
00:27:55,140 --> 00:27:57,120
We were all really grateful that we were able to see

562
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:59,280
this like fight play out on stage.

563
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,540
Oh, that's amazing.

564
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,620
Again, I'll go back to that word context.

565
00:28:06,620 --> 00:28:11,620
That can be such a dangerous and hard thing to do,

566
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,080
because it takes two to tango in that reality.

567
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,440
And so that can go very poorly, very fast

568
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,820
with a person who's not on the same page about doing that.

569
00:28:20,820 --> 00:28:23,280
Somebody can quickly feel disrespected and feel like,

570
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,840
whoa, what are you doing?

571
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,640
That's my vulnerability to talk about or share.

572
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,680
So I would have loved to have been involved in

573
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,400
and seen that too and seen how that played out.

574
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,840
And because the way you describe it says that

575
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,640
there was a magical, like holistic feeling

576
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,120
about this experience.

577
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,760
And that takes tremendous leadership

578
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,640
to be willing and able to do.

579
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,760
So if this was your last opportunity

580
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,300
to share a powerful lesson with the world,

581
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:54,780
what powerful lesson can other visionaries learn

582
00:28:54,780 --> 00:28:55,920
from your experience?

583
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,000
So much of what I've been feeling and moving into

584
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,440
and deeper into and just navigating lately

585
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,180
is the power of the body.

586
00:29:09,180 --> 00:29:13,980
And we live in such a cerebral culture

587
00:29:13,980 --> 00:29:17,060
where our intellect and our productivity

588
00:29:17,060 --> 00:29:20,680
and our performance and our brains are so,

589
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,520
so very important and pedestalized

590
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,520
that we live from here or up here in a state of dissociation.

591
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,940
And there's so much richness and so much magic

592
00:29:33,940 --> 00:29:38,940
to be had in life just by coming back into the body

593
00:29:39,260 --> 00:29:44,260
and being available to experience all of your emotions

594
00:29:44,660 --> 00:29:48,660
and to learn how to navigate those with grace,

595
00:29:48,660 --> 00:29:50,540
with skill, with ease.

596
00:29:50,540 --> 00:29:54,540
And like just the richness of life

597
00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:56,860
when you get to be inside of your body

598
00:29:56,860 --> 00:29:59,500
and to feel it all and to be present for it

599
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,420
all the good, the bad, the ugly, right?

600
00:30:02,420 --> 00:30:07,420
Like all of it, just the preciousness of being alive

601
00:30:08,580 --> 00:30:13,580
and having the ability to wake up and drink coffee,

602
00:30:14,140 --> 00:30:17,940
to book a trip, to hike mountains,

603
00:30:17,940 --> 00:30:20,940
to enjoy time with your kids.

604
00:30:20,940 --> 00:30:23,140
Like just all of the magic that's available

605
00:30:23,140 --> 00:30:25,780
and even the tiniest moments when you get to be present

606
00:30:25,780 --> 00:30:28,700
in your body and available and available

607
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:31,260
and open to the entire experience.

608
00:30:32,980 --> 00:30:34,880
It's a big concept.

609
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,060
I don't know how many people listening

610
00:30:38,060 --> 00:30:40,820
would consider themselves cerebral or intellectual,

611
00:30:40,820 --> 00:30:43,460
perhaps a lot, but bear with me for those of you

612
00:30:43,460 --> 00:30:45,700
who are going on this thought process.

613
00:30:47,380 --> 00:30:50,140
You know, I grew up super emotional

614
00:30:50,140 --> 00:30:53,140
and with five older sisters and my mom, right?

615
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:56,380
Emotions are pretty high in the house with a bunch of women.

616
00:30:56,380 --> 00:30:59,620
And in addition to that, I was the youngest

617
00:30:59,620 --> 00:31:01,340
of all my siblings.

618
00:31:01,340 --> 00:31:05,860
And so it was easy for my stepbrother to,

619
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:07,020
you know, he's two years older than me.

620
00:31:07,020 --> 00:31:09,860
And he loved to point out how much smarter he was,

621
00:31:09,860 --> 00:31:11,180
you know, at that time.

622
00:31:11,180 --> 00:31:12,900
An older cousin, same thing.

623
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:17,900
And so I grew up thinking that I was almost pure emotion.

624
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:22,080
And it turns out, you know, StrengthsFinder 1.0 learner

625
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,500
was my number one trait.

626
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:28,500
And I've turned to my more cerebral part of existence,

627
00:31:29,460 --> 00:31:31,980
like a strategist, business and all that too.

628
00:31:31,980 --> 00:31:34,460
So now most people think I'm purely strategy.

629
00:31:35,340 --> 00:31:38,060
And when I take off those external forces

630
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:40,020
that wanted to find me, you know,

631
00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:42,620
and look back and feel my own life

632
00:31:42,620 --> 00:31:44,140
or think through my own life,

633
00:31:45,460 --> 00:31:49,700
I've always felt like, oh no, those go hand in hand.

634
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:52,220
Like those don't separate, you know,

635
00:31:52,220 --> 00:31:53,500
they're part of the process.

636
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:55,060
So when I hear you say like separate the brain

637
00:31:55,060 --> 00:31:59,340
or the, you know, the thought process, the cerebral aspect,

638
00:31:59,340 --> 00:32:03,060
I'm like, you know, yeah, we are so plugged in.

639
00:32:03,060 --> 00:32:05,500
We are constantly thinking about the time of the appointment,

640
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,140
how much time is in the clock for the show, you know,

641
00:32:08,140 --> 00:32:10,540
who I have to coordinate for next, you know,

642
00:32:10,540 --> 00:32:13,140
what strategy has to come into place for X, Y or Z,

643
00:32:13,140 --> 00:32:14,800
even what programs come in on TV,

644
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,800
when is the NBA, you know, playoffs happening?

645
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,220
Like there's so much that is constantly going around.

646
00:32:20,220 --> 00:32:21,500
What book am I gonna read next?

647
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:23,060
What posts am I gonna make?

648
00:32:23,060 --> 00:32:24,340
Do I share this picture with that picture?

649
00:32:24,340 --> 00:32:27,740
There's so many thought processes that we take for granted.

650
00:32:27,740 --> 00:32:28,700
What are we gonna eat?

651
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:29,940
What are we gonna sleep?

652
00:32:29,940 --> 00:32:32,780
You know, some things like that come up too.

653
00:32:32,780 --> 00:32:34,300
You know, am I gonna go to the store, get groceries?

654
00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:35,880
It just never ends.

655
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,920
So like I can see the need to disconnect from a lot of that,

656
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,780
but I would love to hear your thoughts, you know,

657
00:32:41,780 --> 00:32:42,820
your expertise on this.

658
00:32:42,820 --> 00:32:47,580
What does that mean to you to kind of disconnect

659
00:32:47,580 --> 00:32:51,260
from the brain and how do we balance that

660
00:32:51,260 --> 00:32:56,260
with or the cerebral and how we balance that with the rest?

661
00:32:57,500 --> 00:33:00,180
Yeah, I wanna clarify not to disconnect from the brain

662
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:02,620
because again, that's part of the body.

663
00:33:02,620 --> 00:33:06,540
That's part of the machine and we're grateful

664
00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:09,240
for the whole thing in its totality, right?

665
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,300
So it's more of just like,

666
00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:13,920
instead of always making decisions from the brain,

667
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,460
cause it's gonna be a 50-50 crap shoot,

668
00:33:16,460 --> 00:33:19,620
it's learning how to be in the present moment.

669
00:33:19,620 --> 00:33:21,300
Like all of those things that you were talking about,

670
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:24,620
they were either like past or mostly forward focused.

671
00:33:24,620 --> 00:33:26,900
And so when you're really, really forward focused,

672
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:30,540
how much of your bandwidth is going to something

673
00:33:30,540 --> 00:33:32,040
that's not the present task?

674
00:33:33,380 --> 00:33:37,400
So it's actually just reclaiming the thoughts

675
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,080
and bringing them into the present moment.

676
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,260
And it's like, okay, actually, what does my body feel like?

677
00:33:42,260 --> 00:33:44,620
How do I feel on this call?

678
00:33:44,620 --> 00:33:46,940
How do I want to feel on this?

679
00:33:46,940 --> 00:33:48,500
I'm hungry.

680
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:49,460
Okay, cool.

681
00:33:49,460 --> 00:33:51,500
So your body's communicating to you.

682
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:53,740
So if you were to go and get a snack right now,

683
00:33:53,740 --> 00:33:57,460
and if you were to eat this, I wouldn't care personally,

684
00:33:57,460 --> 00:33:59,700
but also like then you get to tell your body like,

685
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,280
hey, you're safe.

686
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,260
You're not in survival.

687
00:34:02,260 --> 00:34:03,980
I'm going to listen to your cues.

688
00:34:03,980 --> 00:34:05,760
I'm not going to bypass you.

689
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:06,600
I trust you.

690
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,180
You can trust me.

691
00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:10,780
That deepens and fortifies that relationship of trust.

692
00:34:10,780 --> 00:34:13,700
And I don't know if you feel this way,

693
00:34:13,700 --> 00:34:16,540
but how I show up as a business owner

694
00:34:16,540 --> 00:34:19,500
and I trust myself is radically different.

695
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:20,780
Yes, absolutely.

696
00:34:20,780 --> 00:34:21,660
It's huge.

697
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:24,980
Confidence and the influence of that

698
00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:28,620
by keeping our commitments and staying safe and all that,

699
00:34:28,620 --> 00:34:32,300
it has a massive effect on our ability as a business owner.

700
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:33,140
For sure.

701
00:34:33,140 --> 00:34:34,740
And a massive effect just in like,

702
00:34:34,740 --> 00:34:35,620
am I keeping my commitments?

703
00:34:35,620 --> 00:34:36,860
What about your commitments to yourself?

704
00:34:36,860 --> 00:34:37,740
Are you rested?

705
00:34:37,740 --> 00:34:38,820
Are you hydrated?

706
00:34:39,940 --> 00:34:42,340
That's one of the fun things about that hungry thing too.

707
00:34:42,340 --> 00:34:43,860
It's like there's, again, there's layers

708
00:34:43,860 --> 00:34:45,620
of listening to this stuff, right?

709
00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:49,420
I remember listening to Jim Gaffigan talk about

710
00:34:49,420 --> 00:34:51,940
how he hasn't been hungry in 20 years.

711
00:34:51,940 --> 00:34:54,540
He's making fat jokes about himself in this moment.

712
00:34:54,540 --> 00:34:57,100
And I remember feeling that and being like,

713
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:58,980
oh my gosh, I can relate to that.

714
00:34:58,980 --> 00:35:01,460
And then I was like, wait,

715
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:03,380
hunger is my metabolism talking to me.

716
00:35:04,220 --> 00:35:05,420
And it's okay.

717
00:35:05,420 --> 00:35:06,620
I'm not starving.

718
00:35:06,620 --> 00:35:09,740
And I'm not depriving myself of food.

719
00:35:09,740 --> 00:35:13,140
But is it my body telling me like,

720
00:35:13,140 --> 00:35:15,780
hey, cool, I'm getting rid of excess?

721
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:18,140
You know, there's a fine line, of course,

722
00:35:18,140 --> 00:35:22,100
between again, the starvation, deprivation,

723
00:35:23,420 --> 00:35:27,260
and allowing your body to process the,

724
00:35:27,260 --> 00:35:28,860
I don't know what you'd call it, the nutrients.

725
00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:31,020
I'm not going Dr. Jackson on anybody today,

726
00:35:31,020 --> 00:35:32,420
but you know what I mean?

727
00:35:32,420 --> 00:35:34,220
There's like a, there's a good thing.

728
00:35:34,220 --> 00:35:36,380
There's a good balance to being hungry

729
00:35:36,380 --> 00:35:37,820
and not always being full.

730
00:35:38,660 --> 00:35:40,660
Yeah, and being hungry and being full

731
00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:43,060
are like opposite ends of the spectrum.

732
00:35:43,060 --> 00:35:44,940
There's a nice little middle area.

733
00:35:44,940 --> 00:35:47,340
And it's also like, if I'm super present with my body

734
00:35:47,340 --> 00:35:48,700
and I know what I have coming up,

735
00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:49,900
then it's like, okay, great.

736
00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:50,940
My body's really hungry.

737
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:54,180
What would make my body feel best right now?

738
00:35:54,180 --> 00:35:55,500
Ooh, some protein.

739
00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:56,340
Oh, a piece of fruit.

740
00:35:56,340 --> 00:35:57,180
Oh, you know what?

741
00:35:57,180 --> 00:35:59,460
Actually, I need some carbs right now.

742
00:35:59,460 --> 00:36:00,420
And then it's like,

743
00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:02,140
it's literally just like being in the present moment,

744
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:04,020
the body is always giving us more information.

745
00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:05,500
And the more present we are,

746
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:07,220
the more present we are in our bodies,

747
00:36:07,220 --> 00:36:09,540
the more we have consistent and reliable access

748
00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:11,100
to this information so that we know

749
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:13,140
what our physical body needs

750
00:36:13,140 --> 00:36:16,900
so that we can clearly communicate and articulate

751
00:36:16,900 --> 00:36:20,460
so that we can take powerful action

752
00:36:20,460 --> 00:36:24,660
and meaningful steps that move the needle forward, right?

753
00:36:24,660 --> 00:36:28,420
So that we're adequately prepared for our mission.

754
00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:30,980
And we're always up here

755
00:36:30,980 --> 00:36:33,180
and trying to make decisions from up here,

756
00:36:33,180 --> 00:36:34,340
thinking about the next thing.

757
00:36:34,340 --> 00:36:35,820
Oh, I shouldn't have said that.

758
00:36:35,820 --> 00:36:38,260
Oh, what does this person think about me?

759
00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:41,420
Like, no, how do I feel in my body right now?

760
00:36:41,420 --> 00:36:43,260
How does my body feel right now?

761
00:36:43,260 --> 00:36:45,060
Oh, I'm feeling unstable.

762
00:36:45,060 --> 00:36:46,580
Okay, there's some wavering here.

763
00:36:46,580 --> 00:36:47,820
Okay, let's sit with that.

764
00:36:47,820 --> 00:36:49,020
Where am I feeling that?

765
00:36:49,020 --> 00:36:51,820
Okay, okay, I feel that in my gut.

766
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:54,940
Where is that sense of wavering coming from?

767
00:36:54,940 --> 00:36:56,500
Where do I feel unstable?

768
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:58,300
What can I stabilize more?

769
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:01,220
Oh, okay, it's this thing in my business.

770
00:37:01,220 --> 00:37:04,020
Great, okay, what's there?

771
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:06,620
Okay, I don't like how I showed up as a leader.

772
00:37:06,620 --> 00:37:07,820
I could have done this better.

773
00:37:07,820 --> 00:37:10,140
I need more stability in myself.

774
00:37:10,140 --> 00:37:11,500
Okay, great, great.

775
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:13,740
And instead of like getting caught up in the ego stories,

776
00:37:13,740 --> 00:37:15,220
getting caught up in the mind of,

777
00:37:15,220 --> 00:37:17,140
oh my God, I can't believe you did that.

778
00:37:17,140 --> 00:37:18,380
Oh, you failed at this thing

779
00:37:18,380 --> 00:37:19,940
or you could have done this better.

780
00:37:19,940 --> 00:37:21,220
Who do you think you are?

781
00:37:21,220 --> 00:37:24,140
Like instead of the runaway train, right?

782
00:37:24,140 --> 00:37:27,020
It's literally just like what feels unstable.

783
00:37:27,020 --> 00:37:27,860
Oh, it's me.

784
00:37:27,860 --> 00:37:28,980
It was how I showed up in that.

785
00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:30,180
Okay, great.

786
00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:31,300
How can I show up better?

787
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:33,620
Instead of what does it mean about me?

788
00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:34,660
I'm gonna beat myself up.

789
00:37:34,660 --> 00:37:35,740
I'm the worst, right?

790
00:37:35,740 --> 00:37:39,020
It's okay, how do I clean that up?

791
00:37:39,020 --> 00:37:41,260
How do I show up differently?

792
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:42,860
What would it require for my body

793
00:37:42,860 --> 00:37:44,580
to feel really stable in that?

794
00:37:45,460 --> 00:37:47,940
Okay, envisioning that, like me showing up

795
00:37:47,940 --> 00:37:50,380
in my highest capacity as my highest self,

796
00:37:50,380 --> 00:37:53,060
how would that feel in my body?

797
00:37:53,060 --> 00:37:54,060
How would I feel?

798
00:37:54,980 --> 00:37:56,420
And then feeling that.

799
00:37:57,300 --> 00:38:02,300
The cerebral nature of these questions to me is what,

800
00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:04,420
that's the fun argument.

801
00:38:04,420 --> 00:38:06,660
That's the fun debate about like you didn't learn

802
00:38:06,660 --> 00:38:09,180
to ask those questions as a baby.

803
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:12,620
It took a serious sincere amount of education

804
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:16,460
from an external standpoint to grasp those concepts.

805
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:20,140
And so you're 100% right.

806
00:38:20,140 --> 00:38:22,500
And I guess each one of us has the opportunity

807
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:24,100
and the need to dive in and say, okay, wait,

808
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:24,940
what do we need?

809
00:38:24,940 --> 00:38:28,100
But also where do we lack the words or the knowledge?

810
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:29,340
Because you mentioned carbohydrates,

811
00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:30,860
you mentioned proteins and those aspects.

812
00:38:30,860 --> 00:38:33,220
And I'm like, ooh, I need to do a better job

813
00:38:33,220 --> 00:38:34,060
of educating myself.

814
00:38:34,060 --> 00:38:35,220
And the difference between those,

815
00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:36,940
much like a child is like, I'm hungry,

816
00:38:36,940 --> 00:38:38,580
I should eat the Snickers, right?

817
00:38:38,580 --> 00:38:40,860
Oh, I'm hungry again, I should eat another Snickers.

818
00:38:40,860 --> 00:38:42,860
Now it's like you go after your cravings.

819
00:38:42,860 --> 00:38:46,860
But business owners are so guilty of this.

820
00:38:46,860 --> 00:38:51,660
Just as much as a child is of, oh, well, I need growth

821
00:38:51,660 --> 00:38:52,500
because I don't feel good.

822
00:38:52,500 --> 00:38:54,380
So let me just go buy a software

823
00:38:54,380 --> 00:38:57,020
because I'm gonna pretend I'm a chief technology officer.

824
00:38:57,020 --> 00:39:00,660
I'm gonna solve that problem with the skills I don't have

825
00:39:00,660 --> 00:39:02,180
and make all these assumptions.

826
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:04,340
I'm just gonna feel it forward.

827
00:39:04,340 --> 00:39:06,820
No, you're not going to win.

828
00:39:06,820 --> 00:39:08,140
Just feeling that forward,

829
00:39:08,140 --> 00:39:11,900
there is an education component that also belongs

830
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:16,900
with the spiritual and the logical, I guess,

831
00:39:17,140 --> 00:39:19,740
those things go hand in hand.

832
00:39:19,740 --> 00:39:23,180
And they prepare us to make these better choices.

833
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:28,180
And so the inner work that goes on to be able to listen,

834
00:39:28,660 --> 00:39:30,960
in my opinion, also has to be combined

835
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,820
with that thought of best self, right?

836
00:39:33,820 --> 00:39:37,300
Best self being, what am I going to,

837
00:39:37,300 --> 00:39:40,800
for me it's, am I centered with myself

838
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,100
and also am I progressing?

839
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,300
And doing what, making the relationships

840
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:49,340
that will cultivate a great relationship,

841
00:39:49,340 --> 00:39:51,180
rather a great life for myself,

842
00:39:51,180 --> 00:39:56,180
as well as looking at how do I exercise my purpose?

843
00:39:56,860 --> 00:39:58,500
I mean, what is my purpose here?

844
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:03,500
And am I diving into that

845
00:40:03,540 --> 00:40:08,540
or am I allowing others to control what that looks like?

846
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,520
What are your thoughts?

847
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,140
Well, there's a few different pieces that you said

848
00:40:12,140 --> 00:40:13,220
that jumped out at me.

849
00:40:13,220 --> 00:40:16,580
And one of them was like the best self.

850
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:21,580
And anytime I hear someone say like my best self,

851
00:40:22,060 --> 00:40:23,760
I'm like, okay, so if you don't show up

852
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,980
as your best self today, how much do you judge yourself?

853
00:40:26,980 --> 00:40:28,100
That's a great question.

854
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:31,300
My answer to that is actually,

855
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:33,540
it's one of my favorite topics.

856
00:40:33,540 --> 00:40:36,100
Part of being my best self is also being

857
00:40:36,100 --> 00:40:38,260
my best at forgiveness.

858
00:40:38,260 --> 00:40:39,260
And what does that mean?

859
00:40:39,260 --> 00:40:42,060
That means that if I have a negative experience,

860
00:40:42,060 --> 00:40:44,260
a lot of people would say, well, sleep on it.

861
00:40:44,260 --> 00:40:45,780
I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll fix things in.

862
00:40:45,780 --> 00:40:49,220
Like, no, my best forgiveness is forgiveness.

863
00:40:49,220 --> 00:40:50,840
Bam, like I'm done.

864
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,920
I'm forgiving myself now so that the very next moment

865
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,060
I can move into being my best self yet again,

866
00:40:58,060 --> 00:41:03,060
without having to indulge in a self-inflicted rut

867
00:41:03,460 --> 00:41:06,220
that is arbitrary based on a timetable

868
00:41:06,220 --> 00:41:08,820
that doesn't, in my opinion, really exist.

869
00:41:08,820 --> 00:41:10,740
Right, it's like, no, I'm just going to move

870
00:41:10,740 --> 00:41:12,740
right back into that.

871
00:41:12,740 --> 00:41:13,580
Yeah.

872
00:41:13,580 --> 00:41:15,020
That would be my definition.

873
00:41:15,020 --> 00:41:15,860
I like that.

874
00:41:15,860 --> 00:41:17,400
I like to use infinite self.

875
00:41:18,620 --> 00:41:22,140
There's like a Meridyth that has zoomed out

876
00:41:22,140 --> 00:41:27,020
and can see it all and knows exactly how she wants

877
00:41:27,020 --> 00:41:28,900
to show up and how she needs to show up

878
00:41:28,900 --> 00:41:31,660
and what she needs to say and what she needs to do.

879
00:41:31,660 --> 00:41:36,220
And so I like to just, she's the person

880
00:41:36,220 --> 00:41:40,140
I'm always checking myself against, comparing to, right?

881
00:41:40,140 --> 00:41:41,780
But not from a place like you.

882
00:41:41,780 --> 00:41:44,380
I like that a lot, the reframe of being

883
00:41:44,380 --> 00:41:46,140
the best at forgiveness.

884
00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:48,780
Yeah, like having compassion towards myself.

885
00:41:48,780 --> 00:41:49,900
So much change.

886
00:41:49,900 --> 00:41:52,220
This is one of the biggest ruts that I see people

887
00:41:52,220 --> 00:41:54,860
getting stuck in, and it's like the discipline,

888
00:41:54,860 --> 00:41:59,300
the hustle, the force into their best lives,

889
00:41:59,300 --> 00:42:00,500
their best selves.

890
00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:05,500
And it's done from a place of like self-loathing

891
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:08,020
and I need to be different.

892
00:42:08,020 --> 00:42:10,540
I need to be fixed.

893
00:42:10,540 --> 00:42:15,540
I need to be better, do better.

894
00:42:15,540 --> 00:42:19,100
And that's like, we're being driven.

895
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:20,820
Well, there's another culture part of that too,

896
00:42:20,820 --> 00:42:23,540
where a lot of other people are very focused

897
00:42:23,540 --> 00:42:24,700
on being better than.

898
00:42:24,700 --> 00:42:26,940
But they wanna be the best.

899
00:42:26,940 --> 00:42:29,180
So now it's not only a competition against self,

900
00:42:29,180 --> 00:42:32,060
it's also a competition against eight billion others.

901
00:42:32,060 --> 00:42:33,500
I mean, like how daunting.

902
00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:40,100
I don't have any need to be better than anybody else.

903
00:42:40,580 --> 00:42:42,900
If I just show up as my best self, right?

904
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:46,760
If that's what I can do, then I can very much appreciate

905
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,220
whether I won or I lost, if it's a competition,

906
00:42:50,220 --> 00:42:51,540
right, basketball or something like that,

907
00:42:51,540 --> 00:42:55,100
because I've done what I needed to to prepare

908
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:58,060
for that competition or that moment or that experience.

909
00:42:58,060 --> 00:43:01,380
And I'm going to therefore be happy with the result.

910
00:43:01,380 --> 00:43:04,040
But there's some conditioning probably with mindset too,

911
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,380
to say, you know what?

912
00:43:05,380 --> 00:43:09,180
I'm going to allow myself to appreciate where I'm at.

913
00:43:09,180 --> 00:43:11,380
And Namaste really taught me that.

914
00:43:11,380 --> 00:43:12,800
That was the book,

915
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,180
Feelings Buried Alive Never Die.

916
00:43:17,180 --> 00:43:20,980
Very, very good therapeutic book.

917
00:43:20,980 --> 00:43:23,700
And she talks about how Namaste means

918
00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:27,700
myself honors yourself and change.

919
00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:31,700
So I am perfect how I am.

920
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:33,600
You are perfect how you are.

921
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,660
And change is perfect.

922
00:43:36,660 --> 00:43:39,140
And I was like, huh, that's, I don't know,

923
00:43:39,140 --> 00:43:40,580
it just really set in with me.

924
00:43:40,580 --> 00:43:43,060
I was like, I can dig that for sure.

925
00:43:43,060 --> 00:43:45,480
No matter who says like, what, you just said you're perfect?

926
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,460
That's like, you can struggle with that.

927
00:43:47,460 --> 00:43:48,380
Bless you.

928
00:43:48,380 --> 00:43:51,260
You know, you're good where you are.

929
00:43:51,260 --> 00:43:52,820
I'm good where I am.

930
00:43:52,820 --> 00:43:54,180
And I'm going to keep moving.

931
00:43:54,180 --> 00:43:55,340
And I'm going to keep moving forward.

932
00:43:55,340 --> 00:43:59,140
Yeah, there was a while when I was like in my conversations

933
00:43:59,140 --> 00:44:00,780
of like trying to figure out life and God

934
00:44:00,780 --> 00:44:01,600
and all of those things.

935
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,220
And I love Buddhist psychology.

936
00:44:04,220 --> 00:44:05,740
I think it's really interesting.

937
00:44:05,740 --> 00:44:07,500
And so I went through this phase where I was like, wait,

938
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:11,100
well, I very much understand the value of like learning

939
00:44:11,100 --> 00:44:13,780
to be okay with all that is as it is.

940
00:44:13,780 --> 00:44:16,280
And that's like a very Buddhist philosophy base.

941
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,260
Like, you know, be good with it always be good with all things.

942
00:44:20,260 --> 00:44:24,940
And, and so then I was like, but what about like, okay,

943
00:44:24,940 --> 00:44:26,180
I can do that.

944
00:44:26,180 --> 00:44:29,660
I can be present with my joy, with my sadness, with my rage.

945
00:44:29,660 --> 00:44:31,460
Like I can be present with all of those things.

946
00:44:31,460 --> 00:44:35,980
And I want to create different, I want to create more.

947
00:44:35,980 --> 00:44:37,660
I want to do more.

948
00:44:37,660 --> 00:44:40,460
I want to see like, I'm so inspired by human beings,

949
00:44:40,460 --> 00:44:42,320
like seeing people in American Ninja Warrior.

950
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,060
I'm like, they're like humans that have Olympics, for example,

951
00:44:46,060 --> 00:44:47,540
like anything is possible.

952
00:44:47,540 --> 00:44:51,380
If these human beings can do like 38 swirly bird,

953
00:44:51,380 --> 00:44:55,140
jumpy flippy kicks on ice, on tiny little blades,

954
00:44:55,140 --> 00:44:57,660
then like I can go to the gym today, you know?

955
00:44:59,220 --> 00:45:01,700
But it's like, humans are just so inspiring.

956
00:45:01,700 --> 00:45:06,260
And it's like, I want to be okay with everything as it is.

957
00:45:06,260 --> 00:45:09,620
And I also want to be a conscious creator.

958
00:45:09,620 --> 00:45:10,860
I want to be the captain of my ship.

959
00:45:10,860 --> 00:45:12,260
I want to see how far we can go.

960
00:45:12,260 --> 00:45:16,020
I want to ride this till the wheels fall off.

961
00:45:16,020 --> 00:45:18,500
I want to squeeze all the juice out of it.

962
00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:20,260
And the more I do that, the more I'm like,

963
00:45:20,260 --> 00:45:23,380
I want everyone on earth to feel this way.

964
00:45:23,380 --> 00:45:27,620
And it really gets to like down to clearing out the trauma

965
00:45:27,620 --> 00:45:28,840
and all of the things that keep us

966
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,220
from being able to enjoy this.

967
00:45:30,220 --> 00:45:33,300
And it's like, I had an experience

968
00:45:34,820 --> 00:45:37,660
with plant medicine a while back.

969
00:45:37,660 --> 00:45:41,080
And I literally, God told me, I gave you a nose,

970
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,820
I gave you eyes, I gave you skin, I gave you a tongue.

971
00:45:43,820 --> 00:45:47,180
I gave you all of these things for you to experience pleasure.

972
00:45:47,180 --> 00:45:48,540
What are you doing?

973
00:45:50,300 --> 00:45:53,220
All of these things are for you to experience pleasure.

974
00:45:53,220 --> 00:45:54,500
What are you doing with it?

975
00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:55,940
Are you experiencing pleasure?

976
00:45:55,940 --> 00:45:57,740
Or are you just digging in the dirt,

977
00:45:57,740 --> 00:46:01,860
looking at your past, looking at your current self,

978
00:46:01,860 --> 00:46:03,540
finding ways to beat yourself up,

979
00:46:03,540 --> 00:46:06,940
finding ways to judge yourself.

980
00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:09,540
All of these things are right mind and ego stories

981
00:46:09,540 --> 00:46:12,560
where we're not being present in the moment to the smells,

982
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,020
to the sounds, to all of the possible ways

983
00:46:16,020 --> 00:46:18,900
that we could experience joy and pleasure in the moment.

984
00:46:18,900 --> 00:46:20,940
And it's like, that is what this life is about.

985
00:46:20,940 --> 00:46:24,240
It's about, I think creating whatever it is that we want

986
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:27,420
that is beautiful, that feels good, that feels connecting,

987
00:46:27,420 --> 00:46:29,560
that feels joyful.

988
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,560
And like it feels so good to be in the body

989
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,060
and to have access to these experiences.

990
00:46:38,060 --> 00:46:39,540
And it's like, what a gift.

991
00:46:39,540 --> 00:46:43,900
What an absolute gift to be able to smell the flowers

992
00:46:43,900 --> 00:46:44,820
that are blooming right now,

993
00:46:44,820 --> 00:46:47,020
to hear the birds chirping and the wind chime.

994
00:46:47,020 --> 00:46:51,860
Like if we, like so many people get so focused

995
00:46:51,860 --> 00:46:53,500
on like performance and metrics

996
00:46:53,500 --> 00:46:55,580
and pushing things further and further and further.

997
00:46:55,580 --> 00:46:58,120
And it's like, if you were really, really happy

998
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,500
with yourself, would you do these things

999
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:01,980
to the extent that you do?

1000
00:47:01,980 --> 00:47:05,020
Because ultimately I think that,

1001
00:47:05,020 --> 00:47:08,920
I think that trauma is the root of all of the things

1002
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,660
on this planet that suck.

1003
00:47:11,660 --> 00:47:15,340
So war, corporate greed,

1004
00:47:15,340 --> 00:47:17,740
all of these things I think are trauma-based.

1005
00:47:17,740 --> 00:47:22,740
And if we had more leaders who were resolved

1006
00:47:24,380 --> 00:47:26,340
in their trauma, who knew how to feel their feelings

1007
00:47:26,340 --> 00:47:28,620
and then not let their senses of inadequacy

1008
00:47:28,620 --> 00:47:30,860
or childhood stuff come up and like,

1009
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:34,180
I have to have the most, I have to have the highest sales.

1010
00:47:34,180 --> 00:47:36,100
I have to have the most money accrued.

1011
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:37,840
I have to have the most boats.

1012
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,380
Like whatever it is, like you're just trying to validate

1013
00:47:41,380 --> 00:47:43,940
some very hurt, small part of you

1014
00:47:43,940 --> 00:47:46,360
that needs those things in order to feel loved

1015
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,060
and acceptable and like you are worthy of existing

1016
00:47:49,060 --> 00:47:50,180
on this planet.

1017
00:47:50,180 --> 00:47:52,740
And so if we have more leaders that are resolved

1018
00:47:52,740 --> 00:47:54,720
in their trauma, that know how to feel their feelings,

1019
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:55,960
that know how to be in their bodies

1020
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,500
and that know how to experience joy,

1021
00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:59,060
I think we're gonna have people creating

1022
00:47:59,060 --> 00:48:01,980
from a lot cleaner place energetically

1023
00:48:01,980 --> 00:48:03,100
and that are looking around like,

1024
00:48:03,100 --> 00:48:05,860
oh man, I've got more than what I need.

1025
00:48:05,860 --> 00:48:09,260
How can I help other people create this?

1026
00:48:09,260 --> 00:48:12,220
How can I help other people like what you're doing

1027
00:48:12,220 --> 00:48:13,100
with the water project?

1028
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:15,180
Absolutely incredible and amazing.

1029
00:48:15,180 --> 00:48:18,180
I just think that when we're not living from our trauma,

1030
00:48:18,180 --> 00:48:19,420
we get to live from our hearts.

1031
00:48:19,420 --> 00:48:23,320
And I know that human beings are incredibly compassionate

1032
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:24,780
and amazing people.

1033
00:48:24,780 --> 00:48:26,500
And when we're not connected to our heart

1034
00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:28,480
because we have to guard it because it's not safe,

1035
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,100
because our heart has been hurt before,

1036
00:48:30,100 --> 00:48:34,340
that's when we're operating from like,

1037
00:48:34,340 --> 00:48:35,860
driving the metrics.

1038
00:48:35,860 --> 00:48:38,780
I see so many entrepreneurs reach such high levels

1039
00:48:38,780 --> 00:48:43,020
of success on paper and in finance and their bodies crash.

1040
00:48:43,020 --> 00:48:44,780
And it's like, okay, well, you were really successful

1041
00:48:44,780 --> 00:48:47,760
in one way, but you completely wrecked your health.

1042
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,700
And that's because you were ultimately trying

1043
00:48:51,700 --> 00:48:53,540
to earn something, right?

1044
00:48:53,540 --> 00:48:57,980
Get some validation, love, approval, ego story met, right?

1045
00:48:57,980 --> 00:49:00,940
So that you could think about yourself in a certain way

1046
00:49:00,940 --> 00:49:04,380
so that you could tolerate yourself

1047
00:49:04,380 --> 00:49:07,040
in any given experience so that you can accept yourself

1048
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,820
as a human being on this planet.

1049
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,160
And you cannot be intimate with yourself

1050
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,900
because in order to have done this,

1051
00:49:14,900 --> 00:49:17,320
you had to bypass so many of your own things

1052
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:18,940
that were coming up your own body, right?

1053
00:49:18,940 --> 00:49:21,080
Like, I know I need to eat a protein right now.

1054
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,920
I need to eat some carbohydrates right now.

1055
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,360
Like I see these entrepreneurs just like bio-

1056
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,420
I'll give you a Buddhist answer.

1057
00:49:27,420 --> 00:49:28,480
What?

1058
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,480
I'll go with the Buddhist answer of maybe, right?

1059
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:36,380
It depends on the person, right?

1060
00:49:36,380 --> 00:49:37,340
And their elements.

1061
00:49:37,340 --> 00:49:40,420
So I would also add a giant if,

1062
00:49:40,420 --> 00:49:43,520
before a lot of what you said,

1063
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,220
if you were doing those things from the point of pain

1064
00:49:47,220 --> 00:49:48,700
or from the point of trauma.

1065
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:51,140
I think that's a really important correlation.

1066
00:49:51,140 --> 00:49:54,060
Those people who do the 32 jump flippy things

1067
00:49:54,060 --> 00:49:55,540
that you talked about, for instance, right?

1068
00:49:55,540 --> 00:49:59,620
There's a lot of pain, suffering, friction

1069
00:49:59,620 --> 00:50:02,220
that has to occur for that strength to be built up.

1070
00:50:02,220 --> 00:50:05,100
And it's not necessarily all built up from trauma.

1071
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:07,460
Right there, there's also this purpose side.

1072
00:50:07,460 --> 00:50:09,780
And I love what you said when you wrote it too.

1073
00:50:09,780 --> 00:50:13,380
And you also just talked about it in great detail

1074
00:50:13,380 --> 00:50:14,820
in a very great fashion.

1075
00:50:14,820 --> 00:50:17,060
So my vision is that every human on earth

1076
00:50:17,060 --> 00:50:18,980
is fed, clothed and hugged.

1077
00:50:18,980 --> 00:50:19,900
That was cool.

1078
00:50:19,900 --> 00:50:21,960
Imagine a world where everyone is fulfilled

1079
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,140
at peace and in total acceptance.

1080
00:50:24,140 --> 00:50:25,500
I'm sorry, I pulled the best thing out from,

1081
00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:27,780
but I realize it didn't pull it from your words.

1082
00:50:27,780 --> 00:50:29,900
And total acceptance of who they are.

1083
00:50:29,900 --> 00:50:31,900
Now imagine the number of violent crimes

1084
00:50:31,900 --> 00:50:34,220
and wars that would exist in that society

1085
00:50:34,220 --> 00:50:36,300
or would not exist.

1086
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:37,260
That's a big shift, right?

1087
00:50:37,260 --> 00:50:39,540
I truly believe that if enough people have the courage

1088
00:50:39,540 --> 00:50:43,060
to do the inner work, this reality is possible.

1089
00:50:43,060 --> 00:50:47,000
And so just centering all of that,

1090
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,540
I don't think that you were saying

1091
00:50:48,540 --> 00:50:53,540
that growth and metrics only come

1092
00:50:53,540 --> 00:50:55,520
from a position of trauma.

1093
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,940
No.

1094
00:50:56,940 --> 00:50:59,840
And those who are stuck with that mindset,

1095
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:00,680
they're like, oh my gosh,

1096
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,160
that's where my fulfillment comes from.

1097
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:07,120
That's my value and worth is the external achievement.

1098
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:08,800
That's a sad day.

1099
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,480
Because there's so much more to life than that.

1100
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,760
And that's what I see you bringing to the table

1101
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,020
to those who are listening.

1102
00:51:16,020 --> 00:51:17,000
Is that fair?

1103
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,080
Yeah, absolutely.

1104
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,320
Because I know that I personally,

1105
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,160
I wanna have more money than God.

1106
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:28,160
And that's because I want to go do really cool things

1107
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:29,400
with that.

1108
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,760
Are you doing the things necessary

1109
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,000
to put yourself in that wise steward position

1110
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,040
to achieve, and how much time do you have?

1111
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,600
We've gone over a little bit.

1112
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,080
I don't wanna, I've got Steve Ramona next.

1113
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,680
So shout out to Steve Ramona of the podcaster.

1114
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,680
You have to check that out.

1115
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,880
Serving with a, doing business with a servant's heart.

1116
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,320
Excellent, so we've got a meeting in three minutes.

1117
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:55,600
So I'm gonna have to wrap this up.

1118
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:56,440
I don't want to.

1119
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,400
I wanna continue this conversation.

1120
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,840
But what everybody just heard Meridyth talk about

1121
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,560
was having the purpose, purposeful drive

1122
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,100
of wanting to give her whole heart and soul,

1123
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,960
to not only like achieving what she wants for herself,

1124
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,920
but also making sure that this world

1125
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,560
becomes a better place for all those

1126
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,360
who do go through struggles and traumas and all that.

1127
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:21,640
And I love that.

1128
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,600
I look forward to catching up with you further

1129
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:24,640
about that as well.

1130
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:28,840
And I wanted to have a deeper conversation

1131
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,840
about what that looks like and means.

1132
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,880
Because does that mean we bust our butt

1133
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:38,280
until we die tomorrow because we haven't achieved that goal

1134
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,440
like within the next 24 hours?

1135
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,400
Or what does the balance look like on that?

1136
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,400
And how do you define that as a visionary for yourself?

1137
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,800
Because we're, most of us who've gotten to the point

1138
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:50,620
where we're at least willing

1139
00:52:50,620 --> 00:52:53,320
to consider ourselves as visionaries or we have a vision,

1140
00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:56,840
oh, that's a daunting reality to deal with.

1141
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,040
It's like, man, what am I called on to do today

1142
00:52:59,040 --> 00:52:59,860
versus tomorrow?

1143
00:52:59,860 --> 00:53:01,120
So we'll have to end on that.

1144
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,600
But those of you who were encouraged,

1145
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,480
inspired by Meridyth's story, what she's up to,

1146
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,680
we're gonna put action steps in the show notes as well

1147
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,280
so you can follow along and see

1148
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,640
where she's gonna take you to next on this journey.

1149
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,620
Feel free to skip mine her next episode in that process.

1150
00:53:16,620 --> 00:53:19,120
You can reach straight out to her and find out,

1151
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,080
do you wanna go to, excuse me,

1152
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,040
do you wanna go to Peru with her next year?

1153
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,920
Do you wanna get involved in this Dallas trip

1154
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:25,960
that she's going on?

1155
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,840
I'm sure you can just ask her online and see.

1156
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,560
She might say yes, she might say no.

1157
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,360
And then if you'd like to be a guest in the show

1161
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:42,840
and then come on and tell me about it.

1162
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,080
Let me know what it is.

1163
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,120
We happy to try to get you on the show.

1164
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,280
And if there's anything you wanna add, Meridyth,

1165
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,200
before I wrap up, I had to do a hard stop

1166
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:51,280
and I don't like to do that to people.

1167
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:52,120
All good.

1168
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,360
I'll just be very brief.

1169
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,320
The human mind is absolutely incredible.

1170
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,760
I learned this from Peru, these civilizations,

1171
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,800
these structures, these intricate things

1172
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,000
that have been created.

1173
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,320
And it's the thing that I learned was like,

1174
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,720
when the head and the heart are bridged,

1175
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:07,880
anything is possible.

1176
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,480
Humans are incredible.

1177
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,880
We're capable of anything.

1178
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,040
I'm a huge fan of that concept.

1179
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:15,440
So those of you thinking about it,

1180
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,360
go think and feel about that.

1181
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:18,960
See how it feels in your head and heart.

1182
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,520
And we will see you on the other side.

1183
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:21,360
Take care everybody.

1184
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:22,360
Thanks for joining in.

1185
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:23,720
Thank you for being here today.

1186
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:26,200
I'm really happy that you tuned in to Vision Pros Live.

1187
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,880
I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions

1188
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,120
as these episodes continue to move forward.

1189
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:32,840
This is gonna get more and more fun.

1190
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,640
We'll have more and more engagement as well.

1191
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,760
We'll invite people to participate in the show.

1192
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,120
