1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,320 right? Oh, and especially live on podcasts. It's like you're, 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:12,200 you can get so tongue trapped, tied, twisted. Let's just roll 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,760 with it. Pretend that was, it was absolutely meant to be. So 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,360 those of you joining us, if you have a name that's hard to 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,920 pronounce, where, or I'm kind of making fun of the people who 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,500 get so sensitive about their name pronunciation, because my 7 00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:29,680 last names, I pronounce my last name differently at times. And 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,040 so it, you know, I've thought about like, man, life would be 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,920 so hard if I was mad at people for how they pronounce my name, 10 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,240 like that would, oh, how do you live like that? So it's a lot of 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,920 work having to correct people constantly, you know, Joe 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,060 Villegas, I'm going to have this down because I want to say 13 00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:45,760 Villegas. 14 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,600 I'm not I'm not gonna hammer you. Yeah, I'm cool. Either way. 15 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,040 Either one's fine with me. It's all good. 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,740 Joe cool. We got it. We know it now. 17 00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:59,980 Very good. So well, good stuff. We're gonna dive into you got a 18 00:00:59,980 --> 00:01:01,860 great brand, by the way. In fact, I'm going to bring it up 19 00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:05,180 as you talked about the resources as a as a health 20 00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:08,240 coach as somebody who's making a difference with with people's 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,420 lives, not just their health. What are three resources that 22 00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:16,340 you recommend visionary leaders dive into? It can be a book, it 23 00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:18,820 can be movies. What's the power resources? 24 00:01:18,860 --> 00:01:21,220 Yeah, great question. I think I'll go from a health 25 00:01:21,220 --> 00:01:23,860 perspective after kind of, you know, mulling this one over a 26 00:01:23,860 --> 00:01:26,500 little bit. There's a great book by Stan efforting he put out 27 00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:30,060 called the vertical diet. So I've ever heard of it. But in 28 00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:32,620 that book, it's not it's it's called the vertical diets, 29 00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:35,940 obviously, it's nutrition focused. But Stan really lays 30 00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:40,980 out a full comprehensive plan to help you from the food you eat 31 00:01:41,020 --> 00:01:45,380 exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management, all those sorts of 32 00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:48,100 things. That's a great book kind of like the the hand to hand 33 00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:51,220 tactics of how to sort of get your health in line. And even 34 00:01:51,220 --> 00:01:54,340 covers things like high blood pressure and how to handle that 35 00:01:54,340 --> 00:01:57,460 and all that kind of stuff. So really, really great book. And 36 00:01:57,460 --> 00:01:59,900 I've had the pleasure of getting to learn from Stan in person a 37 00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:03,620 few times now. So can't recommend that enough. Another 38 00:02:03,620 --> 00:02:07,180 book would be The Only Way to Win by Jim lore. It's another 39 00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:10,940 great one. You know, oftentimes we get kind of hung up on the 40 00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:13,780 outcome that we're chasing versus enjoying the process 41 00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:17,740 itself, right. So that book kind of dives into, you know, how to 42 00:02:17,740 --> 00:02:21,100 really, really do that and then and going along the way versus 43 00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:25,460 waiting for the wind. And the third one I'd recommend is by my 44 00:02:25,460 --> 00:02:28,780 personal mentor, man by the name of Peter Sage. And he wrote a 45 00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:32,580 book called the inside track. And it's a series of letters 46 00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:37,460 that he wrote to his mentees, and just really dives into all 47 00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:42,180 sorts of topics. But it's a lot about it's basically a different 48 00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:45,060 way of viewing the world, you know, topics like meditation and 49 00:02:45,060 --> 00:02:48,060 mindfulness and things like that. It's it's hard, it's hard 50 00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:50,160 to wrap up into one or two sentences, but it's a really 51 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,100 incredible book. And Peter shares so many in depth insights 52 00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:57,040 from his experiences as an entrepreneur, he's a serial 53 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,220 entrepreneur. He was a master trainer for Tony Robbins for 54 00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:02,900 like 15 years, like he's just kind of been been there done 55 00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:06,860 that done a lot of stuff. And it's a really, really great book 56 00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:09,380 that you can kind of go back to time and time again, and still 57 00:03:09,380 --> 00:03:12,300 pull insights out of you didn't get the first time. So those are 58 00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:16,100 the three shortlist. Those are the three I would I would throw 59 00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:19,020 out there to begin with short shortlist. You know, we keep it 60 00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:22,540 that way for this. Of course, you guys can go to the results 61 00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:28,940 TV. And and Joe Villegas, Joe Villegas is website and podcasts 62 00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:32,540 learn more about the fact I saw I saw you recently had Pete Sage 63 00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:36,860 on the lineup was we're looking at the screen there. People who 64 00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:40,220 listen in know that I'm a big fan of Tony Robbins and the 65 00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:44,660 program and what he does. And I'm a big fan of coaches to 66 00:03:44,660 --> 00:03:49,460 that, that are older, right? That I'm not saying I'm not a big 67 00:03:49,460 --> 00:03:51,820 fan of the young ones. I think there's value from both sides. 68 00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:55,220 However, there's a sense of stability and reliability around 69 00:03:55,220 --> 00:03:58,780 somebody who has been 15 years with one particular 70 00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:02,660 organization. There's a depth that was gained there of 71 00:04:02,660 --> 00:04:04,780 appreciation for both the strengths, weaknesses, 72 00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:08,700 opportunities and threats for all four of those. And yeah, to 73 00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:12,660 try to sum up a book about letters, right that are 74 00:04:12,660 --> 00:04:15,780 probably extremely deep, profound and expansive. That's 75 00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:19,860 easy to do. So I'll take your word for it. And I have to, I'll 76 00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:22,180 have to dive in myself to get the full value out of that. 77 00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:25,740 Yeah, it's a it's a great one for sure. And it's like I said, 78 00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:28,500 it's something where you read through it once, okay, you know, 79 00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:31,100 I get it makes sense. Cool. You hit it again a month or two 80 00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:33,860 later, like, wow, like, you'll keep pulling stuff out of it 81 00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:36,100 time and time again. So it's it's very insightful. It's very 82 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:39,100 cool. So much so that you were wise enough to say, let me go 83 00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:43,540 work with this author. Yeah, first, but that's, that's really 84 00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:47,660 the bigger equation here is when you find the resource, right, 85 00:04:47,660 --> 00:04:51,500 the depth, the reference for the resource, like go to it, go go 86 00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:53,980 drink from the well. Yeah, I mean, I'm not just a cup of 87 00:04:53,980 --> 00:04:56,620 glass or the glass that you got. So we're gonna be right back. 88 00:04:56,620 --> 00:05:01,060 We're gonna dive into Joe Villegas and his visions in just 89 00:05:01,060 --> 00:05:03,500 a minute. We'll see you on the other side, guys. All right. 90 00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:07,420 Welcome in to vision pros live with Jackson Calame. I'm your 91 00:05:07,420 --> 00:05:09,940 show host, we'll be doing interviews for visionary 92 00:05:09,940 --> 00:05:13,460 entrepreneurs and guest leaders who are building fantastic 93 00:05:13,460 --> 00:05:14,260 visions out there. 94 00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:25,620 Hey, what's up, everybody? Welcome into another episode of 95 00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:28,540 vision pros live. I'm your show host, Jackson Calame, founder 96 00:05:28,540 --> 00:05:32,460 and CEO of first class business. And I'm excited to have Joe 97 00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:36,900 Villegas joining us today. He is a life and health coach. He is a 98 00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:41,060 well, well vetted. That's one thing. Yes, I've vetted it. But 99 00:05:42,140 --> 00:05:44,620 a business owner with lots of experience. That's the word I'm 100 00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:46,900 looking for that entrepreneur word is avoiding me right now. 101 00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:50,900 But we're gonna be talking about real actionable strategies that 102 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:55,420 you can apply for your best life and for your health. And you can 103 00:05:55,420 --> 00:05:57,780 go to his website, you can see his track record, you see the 104 00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:00,580 people that he's helped. The fun thing about health coaches is 105 00:06:00,580 --> 00:06:03,300 they have very easy to see before and after pictures of the 106 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:06,100 results they've been able to help people drive. And that's 107 00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:09,700 usually also a reflection of the healthy relationships they have 108 00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:12,260 with those same people. So I'm excited to dive in with them. 109 00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:15,140 Before I do, I always want to give as much as I can in terms 110 00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:18,500 of resources. So in terms of sponsorship ships today, we've 111 00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:23,540 got Melissa Gray of the law spot. My heart as I get older as 112 00:06:23,540 --> 00:06:26,820 an entrepreneur, I get more and more sensitive to the painful 113 00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:30,900 nature of growth that visionaries who are excited to 114 00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:34,380 go through when they don't have to. When Melissa applied to be 115 00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:37,980 on our show, I almost cancel the show because I didn't want a 116 00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:41,180 pretentious, condescending lawyer on my show. And that's how 117 00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:43,580 most of them are. I couldn't have been further from the truth 118 00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:46,620 with her though. She's a fantastic leader. She understands 119 00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:50,060 the value of simplifying things and actually cares enough to 120 00:06:50,060 --> 00:06:53,260 listen to people about what their visions are and get 121 00:06:53,260 --> 00:06:55,860 involved in the business in the best of ways. I've been super 122 00:06:55,860 --> 00:06:59,060 impressed with her. That comes from having been through a 123 00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:02,940 $20,000 trademark lawsuit that we won when I was with 124 00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:05,860 Restaurant Connect. We won that lawsuit to protect our own 125 00:07:05,860 --> 00:07:09,340 name, but we spent $20,000 protecting our own name. That's 126 00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:12,340 just garbage. You know, what were we doing? Why did we not 127 00:07:12,340 --> 00:07:14,060 get ourselves into a position where we had the right 128 00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:17,380 representation up front? So we could have avoided that to begin 129 00:07:17,380 --> 00:07:20,500 with. Protect yourself. Consider interviewing her as you look for 130 00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:24,500 legal counsel out there. Then there's Andrew Sosin of Recovery 131 00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:27,620 Unplugged. And I forgot to mention, Melissa is also a 132 00:07:27,620 --> 00:07:30,940 client of ours. So there is a bias there in the form of our 133 00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:34,220 relationship. We're strategic partners. I call her RC Low, not 134 00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:37,180 our J Low. Then there's the Recovery Unplugged with Andrew 135 00:07:37,180 --> 00:07:42,300 Sosin. He has simply impressed me. I don't work with him. I 136 00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:45,900 think his program is fantastic. We'd love to. But I really want 137 00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,500 people to gravitate towards us. They just don't know where to 138 00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:51,180 turn for their addictions. Those addictions come in many forms. 139 00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:54,420 It can be drugs and alcohol, but it can also be apps. It can be 140 00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:58,340 Netflix. If you're hiding from life, if you're finding your way 141 00:07:58,340 --> 00:08:01,860 into something like that, even music, for the sake of drowning 142 00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:05,860 out the realities of life, I highly recommend you to call 143 00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:08,940 this hotline. If you know somebody like that, call the hotline. 144 00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:11,260 Find out what you can do for them. There's too many people 145 00:08:11,260 --> 00:08:15,900 that suffer needlessly. And if we would step up as leaders, find 146 00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:19,260 out from professionals what we could do about it. We could 147 00:08:19,260 --> 00:08:21,740 change the world. We can make the world a better place for at 148 00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:25,340 least one person. So I hope that you take me up on that. They're 149 00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:27,460 in five states. They have physical locations, but they 150 00:08:27,460 --> 00:08:31,180 also have their virtual version of what they do. Thanks to the 151 00:08:31,180 --> 00:08:33,820 Silverlining we'll call COVID. They wouldn't have launched, 152 00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:36,780 wouldn't have been for that. And they incorporate music into 153 00:08:36,780 --> 00:08:39,420 their healing program. So if you're a musician like me, that 154 00:08:39,420 --> 00:08:41,580 hits you on all the right strings right away and you're 155 00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:44,180 like, wow, okay, cool. I got to see this. I hope this helps at 156 00:08:44,180 --> 00:08:46,660 least one person out there. If it did, it was worth talking 157 00:08:46,660 --> 00:08:50,060 your head off for a minute. Then there's the Water Project. And 158 00:08:50,060 --> 00:08:51,860 there are millions of people that we can help. There's 159 00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:54,820 millions of people who do not have access to this. I have a 160 00:08:54,820 --> 00:08:58,140 water bottle. I go in my kitchen, my bathroom, I can get 161 00:08:58,140 --> 00:09:02,140 cleaner water than most people, all the people that are affected 162 00:09:02,140 --> 00:09:05,980 in these areas that the Water Project is focused on. Imagine 163 00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:09,460 your kids walking three to five miles during their school day to 164 00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:12,740 have to go get a source of water that may not even be safe for 165 00:09:12,740 --> 00:09:15,740 everybody, or having to leave work. And instead of providing 166 00:09:15,740 --> 00:09:19,420 for your kids, you're looking for water for their basic needs. 167 00:09:19,420 --> 00:09:22,820 We can do something about that. If we just give even $5 to the 168 00:09:22,820 --> 00:09:25,420 Water Project and select the project, what's really cool is 169 00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:28,380 you get to see the outcome of your efforts. You get to see the 170 00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:32,860 generational impact unfold as these kids or as these 171 00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:36,300 communities. The Water Project will send you the pictures of 172 00:09:36,540 --> 00:09:40,700 them and the sand dam that they built or the borehole well. I 173 00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:42,900 just, I love the transparency they've created around what 174 00:09:42,900 --> 00:09:46,900 they do. Now, if you have another resource, another cause 175 00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:48,980 out there that's just pulling at your heartstrings like Jack 176 00:09:48,980 --> 00:09:52,260 said, we should talk about this. Do us a favor, drop that cause, 177 00:09:52,260 --> 00:09:55,220 drop a link to it in the comments, allow us to do our 178 00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:57,940 part. Maybe we will give to it. Maybe I'll talk about it the 179 00:09:57,940 --> 00:10:01,860 program as well. We never know what the ripple effect will be 180 00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:05,500 when we choose to do good. And we all have 8 billion people out 181 00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:08,220 there that we could be helping. So always take the time to do 182 00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:12,460 that before we dive into visions. So with that said, Joe 183 00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,140 Villegas, I am super happy to have you on the show today. Love 184 00:10:15,140 --> 00:10:16,660 your energy, man. Thank you for being here. 185 00:10:16,660 --> 00:10:19,420 Thank you for having me. I'm pumped. And I mean, all those 186 00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:21,540 sponsors are incredible. I'll be checking those out myself for 187 00:10:21,540 --> 00:10:23,980 sure and supporting what I can. So thank you for sharing that. 188 00:10:25,180 --> 00:10:30,300 Got it. Getting after it today. Good deed is done. We can close 189 00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:35,180 right. Good deeds. I love this. So what is your vision, Joe, for 190 00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:36,180 those that you serve? 191 00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:41,860 For sure. So my ultimate vision is to help people kind of just 192 00:10:41,860 --> 00:10:46,300 uncomplicate their health and wellness, realize that they can 193 00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:49,380 get to whatever their version of a best life is, have a fulfilling 194 00:10:49,380 --> 00:10:53,260 life, healthy life and a long life, but doing it in a way that 195 00:10:53,260 --> 00:10:56,700 that complements what they're trying to achieve, right. So too 196 00:10:56,700 --> 00:11:01,140 often you see influencers, articles, blogs, whatever out 197 00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:03,460 there that just really take health to a level that's, I 198 00:11:03,460 --> 00:11:07,420 mean, could be overcomplicated, scary, contradictory, whatever. 199 00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:10,740 And my vision is to make sure that what I teach people, what 200 00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:14,460 I share with them and guide them through is simple, accessible, 201 00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:17,460 achievable, and something they can apply to their life, you 202 00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:18,460 know, forever, basically. 203 00:11:18,860 --> 00:11:22,020 Dude, I love that. This is a hard thing for me to love, by 204 00:11:22,020 --> 00:11:27,460 the way. Because I, I would be mad at somebody in the business 205 00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:31,220 world for saying something similar. Because business is 206 00:11:31,220 --> 00:11:34,860 complicated. There's health can be complicated, but you're 207 00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:39,060 talking about uncomplicating it, right? I am making it simpler. 208 00:11:39,060 --> 00:11:42,660 And there's like a cash 22 on this, you know, like, are we 209 00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:45,380 talking about get rich quick? Are we talking about get healthy 210 00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:48,300 quick? And, you know, and like, like over ignoring over 211 00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:51,300 generalizing for people, are we talking about, like, truly 212 00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:55,740 making it better? And I have a health coach friend of mine who 213 00:11:55,780 --> 00:11:59,700 was so inspiring, was helping me move forward. And then, you 214 00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:05,700 know, one day he posted about how core exercises like working 215 00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:09,420 your abs is bad for you. And you know, something like that it 216 00:12:09,420 --> 00:12:13,620 was somebody said, you know, but my feeling and sentiment as the 217 00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:18,780 skinny fat guy, you know, was like, Oh, no, you know, like, 218 00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:23,420 what I do now, right? I don't know if I should, you know, and 219 00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:27,260 now the fear of the unknown, the confused mind says no, like, 220 00:12:27,260 --> 00:12:31,580 I'm just not gonna do anything. Right. So what is the fine line 221 00:12:31,580 --> 00:12:36,140 of making things more simple and, and guiding those you're 222 00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:39,060 working with to because you said that and like my heart melted 223 00:12:39,060 --> 00:12:42,100 for you. I was like, Oh, my gosh, cool. Like, let's do it. 224 00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:44,660 Let's make it let's make this whole workout and health thing 225 00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:47,300 easier. Continue with that path. What does that look like for me 226 00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,860 and others? Yeah, no doubt. So the big thing is right, like 227 00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,820 when, when you reach out to a coach, right, you're trying to 228 00:12:52,820 --> 00:12:55,340 work with somebody really ultimately you want you want is 229 00:12:55,340 --> 00:12:58,580 change results, right? You want your life to be different. You're 230 00:12:58,580 --> 00:13:01,580 at point A, you want to get to point B. And oftentimes, what's 231 00:13:01,580 --> 00:13:04,900 introduced to clients are things that are beyond their comfort 232 00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:07,940 zone, right? So as an example, let's say you're somebody who's 233 00:13:08,180 --> 00:13:10,940 never stepped foot in the gym, you've never attempted a diet 234 00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:13,940 in your life, you work full time, you got kids, you're busy, 235 00:13:13,940 --> 00:13:17,140 all these things. And your coach says, All right, Jackson, I want 236 00:13:17,140 --> 00:13:19,580 you in the gym five days a week for an hour at a time. I want 237 00:13:19,580 --> 00:13:21,500 you eating like this, you're going to go to bed at this time 238 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:25,220 drink this much water, like, that's a lot of change, very, 239 00:13:25,220 --> 00:13:29,780 very rapidly. And it's hard to implement that for a sustained 240 00:13:29,780 --> 00:13:32,180 period of time because it's so different, right? So when I get 241 00:13:32,180 --> 00:13:35,180 four kids and you don't see how fun. Yeah, right. Exactly. And 242 00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:37,460 then somehow the trainers like always never have kids like 243 00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:39,260 they're always because you know, younger, whatever, they don't 244 00:13:39,260 --> 00:13:43,900 get it. But the idea is when I work with folks is the acronym 245 00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:47,420 like to use a seal SCAL, which is simple, easy and almost 246 00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:51,380 laughable. So when we look at Okay, what are you really 247 00:13:51,380 --> 00:13:55,260 trying to achieve? Like is it is it weight loss? Do you want to 248 00:13:55,260 --> 00:13:57,020 get stronger? Are you just trying to improve your health 249 00:13:57,020 --> 00:14:00,500 overall? The idea is want to come up with habits, things you 250 00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:04,100 can follow that are simple, easy, almost laughable. And the 251 00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,740 idea is you want to kind of build that slow momentum over 252 00:14:06,740 --> 00:14:10,660 time. And the reason for this is the analogy I like to use is 253 00:14:10,660 --> 00:14:13,340 your brain is kind of like a like a thermostat, right? So 254 00:14:13,340 --> 00:14:15,740 you have a default temp that you're set to that you operate 255 00:14:15,740 --> 00:14:19,540 at in your daily life. And maybe those listening have been there 256 00:14:19,540 --> 00:14:23,380 or have experienced the this themselves is that let's say you 257 00:14:23,380 --> 00:14:25,700 begin to gain a little weight, right? And you wake up in the 258 00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:27,700 morning and you look in the mirror, you go, Oh, gosh, I got 259 00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,940 to do something, right. So your mental thermostat says, Hey, 260 00:14:30,940 --> 00:14:33,460 this is I'm outside of my normal, I have to start working 261 00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:36,700 out and lose this weight. But it also works the other way. Or if 262 00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:39,660 you take yourself off the gas a little bit, right, you might say, 263 00:14:39,660 --> 00:14:43,140 Okay, I have now lost the weight, I'm doing pretty good. 264 00:14:43,380 --> 00:14:45,420 I'm going to have a piece of cheesecake, I'm going to, you 265 00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:47,860 know, not go to the gym, skip a day, whatever. And you bring 266 00:14:47,860 --> 00:14:50,740 yourself back to that default. So what I'm interested in is 267 00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:54,980 getting people to shift that default into a healthier zone, 268 00:14:54,980 --> 00:14:58,100 healthier lifestyle overall, how do we do that, we do that 269 00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:01,860 through small sustained change over long periods of time. So 270 00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:04,820 it's not it's not the sexiest thing on the planet, right? It's 271 00:15:04,820 --> 00:15:07,540 a little slow going to me though, and people like me so 272 00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:12,020 just yeah, you're speaking, you know, your kindred spirit. But 273 00:15:12,020 --> 00:15:14,340 the idea is like, that's the kind of stuff where like, I have 274 00:15:14,340 --> 00:15:17,780 clients who've lost anywhere from 10 to 15 years old, right? 275 00:15:17,780 --> 00:15:22,180 10 to over 100 pounds, and have never found it again, right? 276 00:15:22,180 --> 00:15:25,780 Like they've lost it, it's gone, they've kept it off for years. 277 00:15:26,220 --> 00:15:29,020 And the whole reason for that is because we made these small 278 00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:32,300 sustainable changes. As you stack those habits, they all 279 00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:34,820 kind of feed one another, right? Like if you're going to bed, 280 00:15:34,940 --> 00:15:37,620 and having eight hours of quality sleep versus the six 281 00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:40,820 used to get, well, now you've got more energy, right? Body's 282 00:15:40,820 --> 00:15:43,620 functioning better, you can hit your workouts harder, you're not 283 00:15:43,620 --> 00:15:46,820 as hungry during the day, like it all everything, as Stan would 284 00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:49,780 say, I mentioned Stan earlier, he always says, when you improve 285 00:15:49,780 --> 00:15:52,780 everything, everything improves, right? So we want to have those 286 00:15:52,780 --> 00:15:55,900 little sustained changes in those various areas and kind of 287 00:15:55,900 --> 00:16:00,100 bring everything up to where you want to be. So that's how we do 288 00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:00,260 it. 289 00:16:00,620 --> 00:16:03,420 Well, I love that. Thank you. All right, let's talk about your 290 00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:05,740 vision. What's your vision for you, Joe? 291 00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:10,540 For sure. Yeah, I mean, my my vision ultimately, is to be the 292 00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:14,460 example, and the invitation for what's possible in terms of 293 00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:19,740 living like a fulfilled, awesome life. So I like to make sure I 294 00:16:19,740 --> 00:16:23,740 focus on, you know, all areas like my own health, physically 295 00:16:23,740 --> 00:16:26,660 and emotionally, my relationships, my relationship 296 00:16:26,660 --> 00:16:30,060 to time, like how I manage my day, my finances, my mission, my 297 00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:33,860 vision, and also celebrating, like giving back and things like 298 00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:36,740 that. And, you know, I set little goals for myself in each 299 00:16:36,740 --> 00:16:39,740 of those areas. But ultimately, what it is, is like, if I can 300 00:16:40,020 --> 00:16:43,020 maximize that, I really just want to be somebody that people 301 00:16:43,020 --> 00:16:45,900 can, you know, look up to say, Hey, like, I think what you're 302 00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:48,980 doing is cool. Like, how can I do that? And not from a place of 303 00:16:48,980 --> 00:16:51,060 significance, you know, that's not something where I want to 304 00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:54,260 impose my model of the world onto other people. But show them 305 00:16:54,260 --> 00:16:56,380 that maybe there is a different option, you know, there is 306 00:16:56,380 --> 00:16:59,860 another way to go about, you know, living a fulfilled life. 307 00:16:59,860 --> 00:17:01,860 So that's, that's my personal vision for myself. 308 00:17:01,860 --> 00:17:06,020 I love that. And I love that you just, you talked about being an 309 00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:10,460 example. And you talked about not imposing that upon people. 310 00:17:10,460 --> 00:17:13,220 Talk to me about why you want to be an example for others. What 311 00:17:13,220 --> 00:17:13,820 does that mean to you? 312 00:17:14,180 --> 00:17:16,580 Yeah, I mean, first and foremost, I mean, you're a dad 313 00:17:16,580 --> 00:17:20,700 too. I have a 18 month old son. And, you know, ever ever since 314 00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,900 the day he was born, like, all I think about all day is like, 315 00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:26,980 Hey, am I setting the best example? You know, am I somebody 316 00:17:26,980 --> 00:17:30,140 my son can look up to and say, like that, that's my dad, you 317 00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:31,940 know, like, I want to be like him, like that kind of stuff. 318 00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:35,900 And, you know, there's an essence of that, in the people 319 00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:38,620 that I work with, and I help, right? Like, who am I to give 320 00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:41,140 advice or guide somebody on a path if I'm not walking it 321 00:17:41,140 --> 00:17:43,660 myself, right? So, you know, it's something where when 322 00:17:43,660 --> 00:17:46,060 someone comes to work with me, they say, Hey, Joe, I want to 323 00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:49,020 lean out, I want to get a little bit stronger. It's like, well, I 324 00:17:49,020 --> 00:17:53,740 better be leaner and getting strong. So it's, it's really 325 00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:57,260 kind of setting that example for first and foremost, for my son. 326 00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:01,740 But for the folks I help as well and showing them like, Hey, this 327 00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:04,300 is this is possible, like what you're looking to do is possible. 328 00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:06,740 And I'm living it right now. And you can too. And we're going to 329 00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:07,340 do it together. 330 00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:09,340 Right, you're taking the medicine that you're putting out 331 00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:13,580 there. That's neat. All right, let's dive into a dark subject. 332 00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:17,980 So what's the worst leadership experience that you've ever had? 333 00:18:18,380 --> 00:18:21,980 Yeah, that's a, that's a great question. And honestly, like in 334 00:18:21,980 --> 00:18:26,140 reading this one, there are a couple that came to mind. And I 335 00:18:26,140 --> 00:18:30,340 think, honestly, like, I'm gonna I'm gonna go back a number of 336 00:18:30,340 --> 00:18:32,860 years, and actually relate it to music, like, I know you're a 337 00:18:32,860 --> 00:18:36,340 musician. And so myself, I before I ever found the weight 338 00:18:36,340 --> 00:18:39,980 room after college, I was very into drums, like through high 339 00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:43,340 school through college, very big into drumming. And I had a drum 340 00:18:43,340 --> 00:18:47,020 teacher for a short period of time. And he's one of those guys 341 00:18:47,020 --> 00:18:52,580 who I like, just a natural, just a natural musician, you put 342 00:18:52,580 --> 00:18:55,060 sticks in his hands, he could play it like he could run it 343 00:18:55,060 --> 00:18:58,460 down. No problem. The problem was when he was teaching other 344 00:18:58,460 --> 00:19:01,860 people, he just expected everybody to like be able to do 345 00:19:01,860 --> 00:19:05,580 it. But there was no like, you there's no way you could never 346 00:19:05,580 --> 00:19:08,220 practice enough to catch up to him in terms of like how just 347 00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:11,900 how talented he was. But there was no like, compassion or 348 00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:14,700 understanding for the fact that like, there's normal humans 349 00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:18,100 here that need to like work this stuff out before it even gets to 350 00:19:18,100 --> 00:19:21,300 a level of being acceptable that you will take, you know what I 351 00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:24,660 mean? And so what what it took basically was a really fun 352 00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:28,100 activity, and turned it into something where a lot of the 353 00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:31,020 people who were you know, in the group with me were like, they 354 00:19:31,020 --> 00:19:33,100 would not look forward to rehearsals or to practice 355 00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,980 because it's like, we're just gonna get crushed every single 356 00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:38,940 time. And so what ended up happening was the focus shifted 357 00:19:38,940 --> 00:19:42,540 to like, what you're not achieving, versus what we were 358 00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:45,460 achieving. And it was as demoralizing, you know, that was 359 00:19:45,460 --> 00:19:48,580 probably like, to me, that's not a leader, right? A leader, I 360 00:19:48,580 --> 00:19:50,940 think we talked about this previously, like to me, a 361 00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:54,100 leader is measured not by how many people follow them, but 362 00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:57,460 how many leaders they create. And if you're not inspiring 363 00:19:57,460 --> 00:20:00,460 people to like, step up beyond their comfort zone, if you're 364 00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:03,580 not comfortable as a leader, letting people excel you, like 365 00:20:03,620 --> 00:20:08,420 that's an issue, in my opinion. Yes, it is. You eventually feel 366 00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:14,100 that hopefully. If not, if you're not feeling it at 60, 367 00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:16,300 sometimes you feel it at 80. If you're not feeling at 80, you 368 00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:19,060 might feel it at 90. Yeah, right. And that's not where I 369 00:20:19,060 --> 00:20:21,340 want to be. You know, as a leader, I want to be able to 370 00:20:21,340 --> 00:20:24,820 learn from that. Did you see the movie whiplash? No, I didn't. 371 00:20:26,460 --> 00:20:29,300 Usually people ask me if I saw drum lines. I'm glad you didn't 372 00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:33,940 ask that one. No, whiplash is a way cooler, more intense movie. 373 00:20:34,340 --> 00:20:40,820 Very, very intense. But it's, it is important to recognize, you 374 00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:44,300 know, are we, are we actually delivering what's best for 375 00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:48,380 people? Yeah, as we serve them, and there's a fine line between 376 00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:52,060 helping people progress. And like you said, demoralizing them, 377 00:20:52,060 --> 00:20:54,540 where you do it on accident or not, it's kind of the difference 378 00:20:54,740 --> 00:20:58,260 in a great leader, and somebody who's trying to be a great 379 00:20:58,260 --> 00:21:00,980 leader, you know, we have to get on the right side of the line 380 00:21:00,980 --> 00:21:04,060 for that for relationships to be wholesome. Yes. Thank you for 381 00:21:04,060 --> 00:21:07,180 that example. Let's have into the opposite territory. What's 382 00:21:07,180 --> 00:21:09,740 the best leadership experience that you've ever had? Yeah, 383 00:21:10,140 --> 00:21:15,580 also a great question. And I think, you know, truthfully, it 384 00:21:15,580 --> 00:21:19,300 probably has come from my time with Peter, my mentor that I 385 00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:21,820 mentioned earlier. And, you know, I went through a 386 00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:24,860 mentorship program that that he had, it was a six month program. 387 00:21:25,380 --> 00:21:27,820 And in essence, like, you know, I want him on the show and he 388 00:21:27,820 --> 00:21:31,620 is on the show now, right? Oh, dude, I'll get you I'll get you 389 00:21:31,620 --> 00:21:36,060 connected. No worries. He's a man. But in in it was in the 390 00:21:36,060 --> 00:21:39,580 time in that program. One, I went in with no expectation, 391 00:21:39,580 --> 00:21:41,260 like I was all right, let's just it all it kind of happened like 392 00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:44,300 during COVID, right? So lockdown starting, I'm like, well, I'm 393 00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:46,500 gonna be home for a little while. So might as well just 394 00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:51,660 like sign up for this thing. And I got on board and just like 395 00:21:51,660 --> 00:21:55,340 watching how he would like, work with the group how he would 396 00:21:55,340 --> 00:21:58,100 handle, you know, what were tough situations. I mean, we 397 00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:00,340 were we were pushed out of our comfort zone during this time, 398 00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:02,860 like, really kind of handling things that may have been tough 399 00:22:02,860 --> 00:22:06,700 emotionally, mentally, etc. In a positive way, we're working 400 00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:11,580 through them productively. But it was something where I watched 401 00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:14,620 him no matter who it was, no matter what their question was, 402 00:22:14,620 --> 00:22:18,540 their circumstance, he always held a genuine space for that 403 00:22:18,540 --> 00:22:22,580 person. No judgment. Like it was not like, you know, when you're 404 00:22:22,580 --> 00:22:24,580 talking to somebody and they're and they're thinking of like the 405 00:22:24,580 --> 00:22:26,580 next thing they're gonna say, and you can see it in their eyes 406 00:22:26,580 --> 00:22:29,820 before like while you're trying to talk, I'm guilty. Yeah, same. 407 00:22:29,980 --> 00:22:33,260 But none of that, like he would wait till they were done. He 408 00:22:33,260 --> 00:22:36,300 would let it sit for a sec. And then he would chime in with like 409 00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:40,100 the perfect, perfect like solution or like question or 410 00:22:40,100 --> 00:22:43,900 whatever. And I really I was just so impressed. Like, it 411 00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:49,700 almost seemed to me, like he was doing far less than a typical 412 00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:52,580 maybe maybe less experienced leader would be doing right. 413 00:22:52,580 --> 00:22:55,860 Right. A lot of times people can like work out their own issue. 414 00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:57,740 They just need to like talk through it a little bit, you 415 00:22:57,740 --> 00:23:01,940 know, and, and getting to see him do that, like in action for 416 00:23:01,940 --> 00:23:05,260 six months straight, you know, for like hours every week. It 417 00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:08,740 was really like, like, wow, like, that's cool. That's a 418 00:23:08,740 --> 00:23:10,740 leader I want to emulate. It was really, really cool. 419 00:23:10,860 --> 00:23:15,500 That's amazing. That reminds me to go into my next topic. No, 420 00:23:16,380 --> 00:23:20,460 Jared Button, who came on the show, he's a coach as well. And 421 00:23:20,460 --> 00:23:24,980 he has a very literal, like viewable version of doing what 422 00:23:24,980 --> 00:23:28,140 you're talking about. Yeah, taking that time and that space. 423 00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:31,980 And I think a lot of podcasts or, you know, media entities 424 00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:35,140 might have a hard time with that space because they want the 425 00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:41,060 viewers, you know, to not have any any lull in the show or in a 426 00:23:41,060 --> 00:23:44,820 conversation. And I would love to ask Pete, you know, I would 427 00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:49,500 love to ask Peter is, is that something that was an innate 428 00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:52,740 gift, you know, that he was just kind of blessed with? Or did he 429 00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:58,820 learn to exercise that? Because I think you can learn to exercise 430 00:23:58,820 --> 00:24:03,660 that and may look effortless. And perhaps it becomes effortless 431 00:24:03,660 --> 00:24:08,900 after 10,000 reps, right? But is there a tremendous amount of 432 00:24:09,540 --> 00:24:14,180 selfless power, self awareness, awareness of others? You know, 433 00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:17,060 if I say something with a certain tone, or I'm looking at 434 00:24:17,060 --> 00:24:19,580 what you're talking to me in a certain way, that's going to 435 00:24:19,580 --> 00:24:23,060 dramatically shift the effectiveness or the direction of 436 00:24:23,060 --> 00:24:26,220 our conversation. And as you become aware of those realities, 437 00:24:26,220 --> 00:24:29,100 sounds like he's like become ultra ultra aware, but maybe it 438 00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:30,620 was an innate gift. Have you asked him? 439 00:24:30,860 --> 00:24:34,300 It so I okay, I'm not gonna I won't answer for him. But I'm 440 00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:38,420 gonna tell you what I think he would say. He would say it is 100% 441 00:24:38,420 --> 00:24:42,060 learned. So he kind of tells stories because he he didn't 442 00:24:42,060 --> 00:24:44,620 finish high school, like he went right into like his own business 443 00:24:44,620 --> 00:24:47,740 thing, like he was always an entrepreneur. And he definitely 444 00:24:47,740 --> 00:24:50,660 has talked about their early on in his in his career, like 445 00:24:50,820 --> 00:24:55,700 periods of time where he was just not a nice person to be. He 446 00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,460 was not not the leader he is today for sure. I would imagine 447 00:24:58,460 --> 00:25:02,260 like, you know, he's had a whole series of mentors, I'm sure his 448 00:25:02,260 --> 00:25:04,980 time with Tony was a humongous influence as far as that's 449 00:25:04,980 --> 00:25:07,460 concerned. That's really like I'm going through leadership 450 00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:10,940 track with them right now. And they teach a lot of that it's 451 00:25:10,940 --> 00:25:13,580 like, you know, holding space and not imposing your model the 452 00:25:13,580 --> 00:25:17,060 world and all that kind of stuff. And, and you can I mean, 453 00:25:17,060 --> 00:25:20,300 you could see like, if, if it's a learn, I think it's a learn 454 00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:22,980 skill, like you can learn it. You watch Peter do it, you're 455 00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:25,420 like that dude's put in the hours like, right. 456 00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:30,700 That's so cool. And I'm glad you also referenced a situation 457 00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:33,060 opportunity. Sometimes I mean, I overlooked this for most of my 458 00:25:33,060 --> 00:25:36,300 guests, it's not like they didn't. But the wisdom just drew 459 00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:39,220 to me of like, you got to experience that for those six 460 00:25:39,220 --> 00:25:41,700 weeks period you mentioned, like in day in and day out getting to 461 00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:46,220 see it. The repetition is so valuable. And to see a leader 462 00:25:46,780 --> 00:25:51,780 lead that well, right with that type of an intricate example 463 00:25:51,780 --> 00:25:53,700 says that there's got to be a ton of other lessons that were 464 00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:54,740 learned along the way. So 465 00:25:54,940 --> 00:25:57,620 oh my gosh, I like I literally have a couple notebooks like 466 00:25:57,620 --> 00:26:01,140 just chock full of like that I wrote I was my pen was like 467 00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:04,980 smoking, you know, writing, writing, writing. So yeah, lots 468 00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:07,780 of insights, lots of distinctions and to the point 469 00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:11,380 I made earlier, right, like, he inspired me to want to like, it 470 00:26:11,380 --> 00:26:13,740 continued to push out of my comfort zone to be more of a 471 00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:17,020 leader, be a better leader, you know, serve the people that I 472 00:26:17,020 --> 00:26:20,620 serve at a higher level. So I think that it's awesome for 473 00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:21,260 itself, you know, 474 00:26:21,420 --> 00:26:25,340 it's huge. Absolutely. So if this were the last chance you 475 00:26:25,340 --> 00:26:29,540 had to ever share a lesson with visionaries leaders, what 476 00:26:29,540 --> 00:26:31,580 powerful lesson kind of visionaries learn from your 477 00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:32,380 experience, Joe? 478 00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:38,140 Who you just come you just come, come kicking the door down with 479 00:26:38,140 --> 00:26:38,740 a good question. 480 00:26:38,740 --> 00:26:39,900 Not light and easy. No way. 481 00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:41,580 I know. I know. I know. 482 00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:46,780 So yeah, sorry, let me get you centered again. Okay. Power 483 00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:47,260 lesson. 484 00:26:47,420 --> 00:26:48,260 I'm in I'm in. 485 00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:48,860 Last one. 486 00:26:49,020 --> 00:26:53,060 So I think, honestly, probably the one I do think about this 487 00:26:53,060 --> 00:26:58,820 often myself, and one that I, you know, I share with folks if 488 00:26:58,820 --> 00:27:02,020 it comes up, you know, I don't don't impose but, but something 489 00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:07,100 where oftentimes people are chasing happiness or money or 490 00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:10,340 whatever, like they're looking for something, right. And 491 00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:15,140 ultimately, if you want to have like a fulfilled life, and you 492 00:27:15,140 --> 00:27:18,380 want to tick all the boxes and do do your thing, you have to do 493 00:27:18,380 --> 00:27:21,700 your thing, you have to live life authentically. And so if 494 00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:23,620 you're trying to like chase somebody else's dream, or you 495 00:27:23,620 --> 00:27:26,260 became a doctor, because your parents made you do it or 496 00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:30,100 whatever, like, you're destined to have a tough ride, like at 497 00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:31,820 some point in time, it's going to catch up, and you're going 498 00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:34,700 to find yourself not happy midlife crisis, whatever it is. 499 00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:37,660 And so if you're listening to this out there, and you're 500 00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:41,420 saying to yourself, like, Hey, I want more out of life, or I know 501 00:27:41,420 --> 00:27:43,580 I'm not on the path I want to be on, like, you know, what do I 502 00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:46,740 do? What do I do? If you just stay true to who you are, like, 503 00:27:46,740 --> 00:27:50,060 walk your truth, be authentic to you, those answers will come up. 504 00:27:50,740 --> 00:27:53,300 You can invest, you know, your time and resources into doing 505 00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:56,820 that thing. And I guarantee you like you're going to have an 506 00:27:56,820 --> 00:28:00,220 awesome fulfilled life doesn't mean you're not going to have 507 00:28:00,340 --> 00:28:03,460 problems, or hurdles or obstacles, those things are all 508 00:28:03,460 --> 00:28:06,700 part of the game. But fundamentally, like you need to 509 00:28:06,700 --> 00:28:08,820 do, you don't need to do anything, but you need to do is 510 00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:10,580 true to you, you know what I mean? It's kind of staying 511 00:28:10,580 --> 00:28:14,460 focused on what's authentically yours. And I think that's 512 00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:17,620 something that, and I, you know, I've talked about that a lot 513 00:28:17,620 --> 00:28:20,980 with Peter, honestly, I know I keep bringing him up. But once 514 00:28:20,980 --> 00:28:25,260 I kind of leaned into that, like, dude, like, business 515 00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:29,580 exploded, relationships are better, like, finances were 516 00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:32,660 better, like everything got better. And I honestly feel 517 00:28:32,660 --> 00:28:37,020 like I'm doing less, which sounds crazy. But I'm just being 518 00:28:37,020 --> 00:28:41,340 more of me. And it's, it's, it's, it's been huge. And so 519 00:28:41,420 --> 00:28:43,620 that's probably the one thing I would put out there is like, if 520 00:28:43,620 --> 00:28:47,780 you're not following your path, you know, get on it, like, get 521 00:28:47,780 --> 00:28:50,820 on that thing and do what speaks to you speaks to your heart. And 522 00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:51,620 you won't regret it. 523 00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:56,380 I love that. That's, I've said that phrase too many times in 524 00:28:56,380 --> 00:29:00,700 this show. But it's authentic. It's where my body is 525 00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:04,380 authentically taking me on these responses. Yeah, that that 526 00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:07,540 quote, the cool thing about your powerful lesson and quote, is 527 00:29:07,540 --> 00:29:13,380 it's actually a clear reflection of your acronym, SEAL. Yeah, 528 00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:17,820 the simple, easy and laughable, right. So for it apply that to 529 00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:23,140 life, that authenticity factor diving into our authentic self, 530 00:29:23,980 --> 00:29:28,380 getting centered around that, you know, that is, yeah, that's 531 00:29:28,380 --> 00:29:30,900 one of those if I were to give that that were the last piece of 532 00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:33,220 advice I gave to my children, then I would be very grateful 533 00:29:33,220 --> 00:29:36,540 that that was the last thing that I said, because it is so 534 00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:40,300 easy to get distracted from that, you know, and feel like 535 00:29:40,300 --> 00:29:44,100 you have to fit into other people's buckets. And you talked 536 00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:48,700 about the reality of man that you carry that for decades. We 537 00:29:48,740 --> 00:29:53,860 all see the stories, you know, of people who then regret where 538 00:29:53,860 --> 00:29:58,580 they're at. And I'll double down on the the reality that you did 539 00:29:58,580 --> 00:30:00,940 you also you didn't allude to it. You said directly, it's so 540 00:30:00,940 --> 00:30:04,780 gonna be hard. Yeah, you know, the authenticity aspect. And I 541 00:30:04,780 --> 00:30:08,580 will also double down the virtue you said, I believe with you, 542 00:30:08,780 --> 00:30:11,940 that if you if you live authentically, you won't regret 543 00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:17,060 it. You might want to regret it. You might at times feel like 544 00:30:17,060 --> 00:30:21,020 I'm going to regret this. You know, there might be some doubt, 545 00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:24,420 but as you exercise that muscle and you know, of authenticity, 546 00:30:24,460 --> 00:30:28,740 and you feed it, you nurture it, it becomes more and more free. 547 00:30:28,740 --> 00:30:32,820 And like you said, you feel so much more empowered. So thank 548 00:30:32,820 --> 00:30:33,580 you for that gift. 549 00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:40,900 Can I can I share one little like thing? No, no, for sure. And 550 00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:44,700 I think something that can can help with that, right? Because 551 00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:47,420 if people say like, oh, like authenticity, like, what does 552 00:30:47,420 --> 00:30:50,660 that mean? Right? Like, you just start by stop, do stop doing 553 00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:54,380 things that are inauthentic, right? Like, hey, if you if you're 554 00:30:54,380 --> 00:30:57,100 worried, people are gonna think of you or think of how you look 555 00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:00,980 right at like, try and drop that right? Stay true to you. But 556 00:31:00,980 --> 00:31:04,020 like you said, these these obstacles problems are going to 557 00:31:04,020 --> 00:31:07,180 come up. If you can try this is the thing I want to share, you 558 00:31:07,180 --> 00:31:10,740 can try to detach yourself from the how, like how it's going to 559 00:31:10,740 --> 00:31:13,100 play out, because you can't predict all that stuff, your 560 00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:15,620 brain does not know what the future holds. And if it did, 561 00:31:15,620 --> 00:31:17,300 you'd be bored out of your mind, because you'd know everything 562 00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:20,660 that was going on. Right? So like, I, here's a perfect 563 00:31:20,660 --> 00:31:25,500 example. Okay. I my wife, go ahead, hit your yeah, check this 564 00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:29,540 out. So my wife and I went to high school together, same grade 565 00:31:29,540 --> 00:31:32,660 graduated together. acquaintances like barely knew 566 00:31:32,660 --> 00:31:37,140 each other. Okay. Go off to college, she goes up to college. 567 00:31:37,940 --> 00:31:40,940 We graduate college, never we never talking this entire time. 568 00:31:40,980 --> 00:31:45,540 Okay, 10 years after we graduate college, I get a Facebook 569 00:31:45,540 --> 00:31:49,180 message and a friend request from her. And it's like, Hey, I 570 00:31:49,180 --> 00:31:52,140 see that you're a couple towns over. I'm a couple towns over. 571 00:31:52,140 --> 00:31:54,380 How you been? It's been like 10 years, blah, blah, blah. And I 572 00:31:54,380 --> 00:31:56,700 go, I know, I know, Brianne, like, so I start chatting with 573 00:31:56,700 --> 00:32:01,860 her. And we went on one date. And that was it. Like we've been 574 00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:05,260 together ever since. And that was almost eight years ago. Okay. 575 00:32:06,020 --> 00:32:09,500 Could I have predicted that the my wife I was going to meet, she 576 00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:12,300 was going to slide into my DMs, you know what I mean? And like, 577 00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:15,900 no, I could never predict that. But if I spent my time trying to 578 00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:18,860 figure out the exact way that's supposed to play out, I would 579 00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:23,340 lose my mind. Right? So if you're just being true to you, 580 00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:27,140 walking your path, things are going to come up that seem like 581 00:32:27,340 --> 00:32:29,700 they shouldn't be there, or their obstacles or their 582 00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:33,620 problems. But you don't know that thing could be the next 583 00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:38,700 event that propels you closer to your goal. Right? So like, just 584 00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:41,500 like, if you can remind yourself, it's all unfolding the 585 00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:42,540 way it's supposed to. 586 00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:46,660 And that's another hard part is letting go of the goal to 587 00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:49,380 sometimes realizing that you might have defined not an 588 00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:52,620 authentic goal, but an adequate goal. Yeah, for your situation. 589 00:32:52,660 --> 00:32:56,100 Right. So as visionaries, the idea is to gain the principles 590 00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:58,780 and what we're talking about, and not become addicted to the 591 00:32:58,780 --> 00:33:01,500 story, right, the outcome of somebody else. What's fun is, 592 00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:07,060 this led to a different, I'm not one upping guys, back, you'll 593 00:33:07,060 --> 00:33:10,060 you'll see this very fast. This is the exact this is a one down 594 00:33:10,060 --> 00:33:16,700 if you will. My wife and I, my first wife, we met, and she was 595 00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:20,500 in my first ex, the first mother, my children, it's so 596 00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:23,100 hard to define in today's world people judge, you know, where 597 00:33:23,740 --> 00:33:30,340 so with that, we met at university, we grew up and she 598 00:33:30,380 --> 00:33:32,780 ate lunch with my best friend growing up, I didn't meet her. 599 00:33:33,060 --> 00:33:38,180 We met in another another state at university, right, I disengaged 600 00:33:38,180 --> 00:33:43,340 completely. I slipped into her DMS asking for her homework to 601 00:33:43,340 --> 00:33:47,180 help me she sent it to me. You know, I forgot all about that 602 00:33:47,180 --> 00:33:49,860 years later, we come back together and I asked her out 603 00:33:49,860 --> 00:33:52,020 and she's asked her name was and she said, Yeah, we met five 604 00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:55,980 times. And I was like, Oh, do you want to go out? That's very 605 00:33:55,980 --> 00:33:59,500 short. I couldn't have predicted that eight years later, we would 606 00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:03,620 go from happily married to divorce. Yeah. You know, and I 607 00:34:03,620 --> 00:34:07,780 could not have predicted that would open the doors for myself 608 00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:12,340 or my second marriage. Yep, where I had my fourth child, you 609 00:34:12,340 --> 00:34:15,460 know, and I've kind of predicted that that marriage would end the 610 00:34:15,460 --> 00:34:18,940 divorce. You know, like, one could say there's a pattern 611 00:34:18,940 --> 00:34:21,860 established, it usually takes more than two to establish a 612 00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:25,020 pattern of some type. But nonetheless, I had a lot of 613 00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:27,660 leadership things to learn. I had a lot of opportunities to 614 00:34:27,660 --> 00:34:32,100 learn about authenticity along the way. So you mentioned taking 615 00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:34,500 small steps towards authenticity, I think it's one of 616 00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:39,260 the greatest, most important nurturing councils that people 617 00:34:39,260 --> 00:34:44,020 can receive is an it's okay. And it is it can be scary. I have 618 00:34:44,020 --> 00:34:48,620 never in my life grown my hair out. Really scared the scares 619 00:34:48,620 --> 00:34:52,100 today living crap out of me. Like every day is a challenge. 620 00:34:52,260 --> 00:34:57,460 Well, related to that. Yeah. You know, I wanted straight hair. I 621 00:34:57,500 --> 00:35:01,060 and I've got these curls. You know, I'm trying to figure out 622 00:35:01,060 --> 00:35:03,980 how to do something with every day. Right. And and it doesn't 623 00:35:03,980 --> 00:35:06,220 it doesn't stress me is on the end of the world first world 624 00:35:06,220 --> 00:35:08,300 problems, right? To think about 625 00:35:09,060 --> 00:35:11,220 at least you have hair minds like I can't do what you're 626 00:35:11,220 --> 00:35:13,740 doing. I get to make new jokes that people are like, I'm hiding 627 00:35:13,740 --> 00:35:14,340 mine, brother. 628 00:35:16,220 --> 00:35:18,740 You're stealing mine. That's what you're doing. My head and 629 00:35:18,740 --> 00:35:19,500 jumping on the ears. 630 00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:23,700 And so you know, I go to a family event, and my uncle comes 631 00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:25,620 up to me, my hair was way shorter, and it's half this 632 00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:29,700 length and he goes, Whoa, look at the ugly. I mean, my inner 633 00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:34,380 child soul was shattering. But my 35 year old self with it and 634 00:35:34,380 --> 00:35:37,940 was like, it's okay. You're all right. It's just different. Oh, 635 00:35:37,940 --> 00:35:42,540 I mean, you can now survive these realities. But we, we 636 00:35:42,580 --> 00:35:47,740 have so many things around us that are that we're even 637 00:35:47,740 --> 00:35:51,620 unaware of that are inauthentic. I was telling my son that he 638 00:35:51,620 --> 00:35:55,580 couldn't grow his hair out. Because I didn't feel like it 639 00:35:55,580 --> 00:35:58,820 was appropriate due to, you know, like my religion, like 640 00:35:58,820 --> 00:36:02,140 paradigms, or what? No, it wasn't. It was because I felt 641 00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:06,820 awkward about my own hair. Right. And stepping into that 642 00:36:06,860 --> 00:36:09,540 allowing myself to go into something so small, so 643 00:36:09,540 --> 00:36:11,900 intangible, you know, something that most people will be like, 644 00:36:11,900 --> 00:36:15,220 well, he, why would he care? Why would he have any trepidation or 645 00:36:15,220 --> 00:36:19,700 insecurities? No, like I had time. So you bring up something 646 00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:23,260 that I just hope more and it was JP Sears is the champion and 647 00:36:23,260 --> 00:36:27,700 king of authenticity that got me to open up and realize like, 648 00:36:27,700 --> 00:36:30,980 wow, and he's that redheaded comedian who makes all those 649 00:36:30,980 --> 00:36:34,700 mock videos on YouTube. And as he talked about his TED talk and 650 00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:37,700 stepping into his authentic self, I was like, thank you. 651 00:36:37,900 --> 00:36:41,660 Yeah, 34. When I was like, I want to do I want to step more 652 00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:45,300 into who I am. Yeah. So you can do it anytime. Maybe you're 66 653 00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:48,300 and you need to come and preach on my on my mic that that you 654 00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:51,820 can do it at six, too. But man, that was profound wisdom. Thank 655 00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:52,940 you. Thank you again for that. 656 00:36:53,220 --> 00:36:56,460 Dude, thank thank you. This is been so much fun to get to chat. 657 00:36:56,460 --> 00:37:00,060 It is. And so we're going to dive into more of how you're 658 00:37:00,060 --> 00:37:03,900 showing up and how you're serving and what your programs 659 00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:06,140 look like. Well, we bring some of that up on the screen as 660 00:37:06,140 --> 00:37:09,700 well. I want you to guide me on this. Whatever questions you 661 00:37:09,700 --> 00:37:14,580 feel are also most appropriate to ask. You're going to know 662 00:37:14,580 --> 00:37:18,380 better for our audience, how you can relate to their success and 663 00:37:18,380 --> 00:37:19,980 I will so the time is yours, Joe. 664 00:37:20,340 --> 00:37:24,100 Yeah, for sure. And I appreciate that. And so personally, myself, 665 00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:26,540 so I know I kind of say like health and wellness coach. 666 00:37:26,740 --> 00:37:28,820 Traditionally, I work with a lot of clients that are like weight 667 00:37:28,820 --> 00:37:32,740 loss clients. That's kind of who I attend. What people who want 668 00:37:32,740 --> 00:37:36,180 to lose weight, and they're generally like, you know, 30 to 669 00:37:36,180 --> 00:37:40,140 50 tend to gravitate toward me. I don't, I haven't quite figured 670 00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:42,740 out why I think mostly because I'm like, I'm not the drill 671 00:37:42,740 --> 00:37:46,540 instructor type coach, like, I'm very much like that guy, big 672 00:37:46,540 --> 00:37:50,860 brother friend that's gonna help you through it. But I work with 673 00:37:50,860 --> 00:37:54,180 work with individuals a lot and also work with companies as well 674 00:37:54,180 --> 00:37:57,220 doing like employee wellness initiatives and think programs 675 00:37:57,220 --> 00:38:00,500 and things like that. So mostly with small mid sized companies 676 00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:04,940 of really any industry. I've had everything this this point up to 677 00:38:05,180 --> 00:38:06,020 manufacturing, 678 00:38:06,020 --> 00:38:09,860 I mean, people's bodies and the manufacturing company are kind 679 00:38:09,860 --> 00:38:13,020 of similar to people's bodies and accounting. Okay. 680 00:38:13,580 --> 00:38:15,780 Yeah, right. Yeah. Well, hey, they probably both have low back 681 00:38:15,780 --> 00:38:16,020 pain. 682 00:38:16,020 --> 00:38:21,300 For that. Sure. But we do, you know, do go through really kind 683 00:38:21,300 --> 00:38:23,740 of any industry and help folks with that. But the big 684 00:38:23,740 --> 00:38:29,140 overarching theme is a more habit based approach. And like 685 00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:31,780 I said earlier, something where, you know, we can focus on maybe 686 00:38:31,780 --> 00:38:35,580 one thing for a week or two weeks, and really like achieve it 687 00:38:35,580 --> 00:38:38,420 at a high level. So as an example, we might say, okay, 688 00:38:38,780 --> 00:38:41,620 Jackson, maybe come to me and you say, Hey, Joe, like, it's in 689 00:38:41,620 --> 00:38:44,420 total summertime, I want to lean out a little bit, but I don't 690 00:38:44,420 --> 00:38:46,940 want to weigh and measure all my food. I don't want to, you 691 00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:49,980 know, be like, we're meticulous with it. I just don't have the 692 00:38:49,980 --> 00:38:51,340 time, whatever the deal is. 693 00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:52,060 Speaking of 694 00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:57,820 right. So I say, Okay, why don't we focus on eating slower? 695 00:38:58,660 --> 00:39:00,940 Right? Like most people tend to like just wolf down their food 696 00:39:00,940 --> 00:39:04,100 and off they go. And that's that. But if we eat slower, 697 00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:06,220 there's all sorts of benefits, you're going to feel yourself 698 00:39:06,220 --> 00:39:08,860 getting fuller sooner, you're more mindful of what you're 699 00:39:08,860 --> 00:39:10,940 eating, because you got to stare at it for longer, right? You're 700 00:39:10,940 --> 00:39:13,060 asking the question, like, do I really need to be eating this 701 00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:15,660 right now? Because you're, you know, stand at the food, but 702 00:39:15,660 --> 00:39:18,780 also to you get a chance to like, you know, engage with the 703 00:39:18,780 --> 00:39:21,540 people around you and like, enjoy the the breaking of bread 704 00:39:21,540 --> 00:39:23,740 that you're having with these people. So there's all sorts of 705 00:39:23,740 --> 00:39:27,620 benefits. We might say let's let's focus on that. Okay. Well, 706 00:39:27,620 --> 00:39:30,620 by eating slower, you're also going to be eating less just 707 00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:33,420 because you're going to feel that fullness response as it 708 00:39:33,420 --> 00:39:36,180 hits you versus you stuffed your face and then 20 minutes later, 709 00:39:36,180 --> 00:39:39,580 like, Oh, my gosh, I wish I wore sweatpants, right. So once we 710 00:39:39,580 --> 00:39:42,220 kind of get that down, and you feel comfortable, and you're 711 00:39:42,220 --> 00:39:45,180 able to do that consistently, and we say, Okay, what's the 712 00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:47,900 next area we should focus on? Hey, maybe you're not sleeping 713 00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:52,020 so great. Let's stack that on top of it. And over the time, 714 00:39:52,340 --> 00:39:54,340 that, you know, people say, like, it's not a diet, it's a 715 00:39:54,340 --> 00:39:57,980 lifestyle, we literally create the lifestyle, we build it. 716 00:39:58,020 --> 00:40:01,260 It's not, Hey, I'm going to take this square peg and jam it around 717 00:40:01,260 --> 00:40:04,100 whole and hope that it sticks. It's no, we're going to kind of 718 00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:07,740 just massage this thing. And as hurdles come up, we're going to 719 00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:10,860 work through it. I tend for me, personally, as a coach, I use a 720 00:40:10,860 --> 00:40:14,100 lot of like, NLP or neuro linguistic programming, if 721 00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:16,780 you're familiar with that at all, to kind of help with the 722 00:40:16,780 --> 00:40:20,300 mental side of things. So people say like, Hey, I just I can't 723 00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:24,140 help but you know, reach for candy or whatever their craving 724 00:40:24,140 --> 00:40:27,020 is, like they can't stop the urges. That's when we get into 725 00:40:27,020 --> 00:40:30,540 more like, kind of deeper dive higher technique stuff to say, 726 00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:33,660 Hey, like, you have you know, you overeat ice cream, we're 727 00:40:33,660 --> 00:40:36,220 going to eliminate that we're going to draw like, in less than 728 00:40:36,220 --> 00:40:37,940 an hour, we're going to sit down, we're going to crush it 729 00:40:37,940 --> 00:40:40,660 right there. And then cool, check the box, we're done with 730 00:40:40,660 --> 00:40:43,540 that move on, go to the next thing. And so what ends up 731 00:40:43,540 --> 00:40:47,260 happening is, you have these clients who, you know, in a 732 00:40:47,260 --> 00:40:49,620 relatively short period of time, they get a matter of a couple 733 00:40:49,620 --> 00:40:53,300 of months, their life is on a very different trajectory. And 734 00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:56,700 they don't feel like they're on a diet, or they've made a big 735 00:40:56,700 --> 00:40:59,300 change. You know, I do I do have some people who come to me who 736 00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:02,180 say, Hey, like I'm prepping for a, you know, competition of 737 00:41:02,180 --> 00:41:05,500 some sort of powerlifting or Olympic lifting. So obviously, 738 00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:09,100 I'm a lot more reticulous in what we're doing. Or maybe they 739 00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:11,100 are open to weighing and measuring their food, they're 740 00:41:11,100 --> 00:41:13,580 more kind of like type A, and they want to track everything. 741 00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:17,060 That's great. We'll do that. But by and large, the folks that I 742 00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:20,620 tend to work with, you know, they're busy, their parents, 743 00:41:20,620 --> 00:41:22,660 they got all these things going on, they don't want to have 744 00:41:22,660 --> 00:41:25,820 another like big thing they have to worry about. So we focus on 745 00:41:25,820 --> 00:41:29,660 it from that perspective. And the shifts are just, just 746 00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:32,060 incredible, like the city's people, like, they make the 747 00:41:32,060 --> 00:41:34,060 shift in their body and their mind, you know, mentally and 748 00:41:34,060 --> 00:41:37,900 emotionally. It's, it's some of the most rewarding work I've 749 00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:39,140 ever done, honestly. 750 00:41:39,500 --> 00:41:43,460 You know, I was lucky to read the one minute manager. Yeah. So 751 00:41:43,460 --> 00:41:47,020 that that book, I wasn't a manager wasn't working in 752 00:41:47,020 --> 00:41:50,660 corporate. I was kind of, you know, I'm a studio manager, if 753 00:41:50,660 --> 00:41:54,900 you will. But just the process of of learning, like, oh, just 754 00:41:54,900 --> 00:41:57,820 make one change for week for 52 weeks, and you make 52 changes 755 00:41:57,820 --> 00:42:01,500 on the year, that will drive better results. You also 756 00:42:01,500 --> 00:42:06,180 mentioned earlier, people getting demoralized. And I 757 00:42:06,180 --> 00:42:09,380 remember the shift, the dramatic shift took my life to strip to 758 00:42:09,380 --> 00:42:12,340 learn about Strengths Finder 2.0. Oh, yeah, yeah. And that 759 00:42:12,340 --> 00:42:15,700 book talks to you about focusing on the five strengths rather 760 00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,820 than the five things you suck at. Yeah. And how that empowers 761 00:42:18,820 --> 00:42:22,340 you. Yeah, I learned it from these weird. Well, that's not 762 00:42:22,340 --> 00:42:24,780 really that's a very direct resource. The first one was 763 00:42:24,820 --> 00:42:28,700 indirect. And then Darren Hardy, years later came out with the 764 00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:33,300 book, the compound effect. And the compound effect had some I 765 00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:36,300 had almost got living with us. And I had him read that book. 766 00:42:36,340 --> 00:42:38,500 And he would summarize the book to me one chapter, someone 767 00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:42,900 chapter per day. And so it's a fun way to learn and expand what 768 00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:45,780 I was consuming, without also having to be the one who read 769 00:42:45,780 --> 00:42:50,100 it directly. Yeah. And that book again, talks about those simple 770 00:42:50,140 --> 00:42:55,660 steps and the trajectory change that we can make. That's, that's 771 00:42:55,660 --> 00:42:58,820 a fantastic way to create long term results. I couldn't agree 772 00:42:58,820 --> 00:43:02,140 more. So that so you do that for people you said in the in the 773 00:43:02,140 --> 00:43:07,980 diet space and the health and wellness. And the is this 774 00:43:08,020 --> 00:43:10,060 something you do worldwide? Is this something you do through 775 00:43:10,060 --> 00:43:12,780 zoom? Or is this something that has to be in person? How does 776 00:43:12,780 --> 00:43:16,940 that work? Yeah, great question. No, it's it's totally online. So 777 00:43:16,940 --> 00:43:20,820 I got my start actually coaching at a CrossFit gym over 10 years 778 00:43:20,820 --> 00:43:23,740 ago. And basically, like just to kind of give you the background 779 00:43:23,740 --> 00:43:26,340 sort of it. So like I said, I'm online, but that's 780 00:43:27,540 --> 00:43:29,700 I was in a you know, like in music, like I was drumming and 781 00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:32,540 stuff, right. And so got out of college, I was overweight myself. 782 00:43:32,780 --> 00:43:35,140 And I started going to this CrossFit gym. And within about 783 00:43:35,140 --> 00:43:38,260 six months, I got good results. And the owner is like, dude, he 784 00:43:38,260 --> 00:43:41,380 goes, you're here all the time. I can't get rid of you. People 785 00:43:41,380 --> 00:43:43,140 seem to like you a lot. Would you want to be a coach? And I 786 00:43:43,140 --> 00:43:45,860 was like, Absolutely. And I just like fell into it. And so it 787 00:43:45,860 --> 00:43:48,980 ended up happening was I had friends of friends and people 788 00:43:48,980 --> 00:43:51,420 who physically weren't in the area couldn't be there. They're 789 00:43:51,420 --> 00:43:53,460 like, Hey, can you like just give me some pointers over the 790 00:43:53,460 --> 00:43:56,580 phone or whatever. So I joke I was I was online coaching like 791 00:43:56,580 --> 00:44:00,700 before it was cool 10 years ago, and doing that whole thing. And 792 00:44:00,700 --> 00:44:03,940 then my wife and I had moved and I decided to stop coaching at 793 00:44:03,940 --> 00:44:06,460 that gym, but just kept the online thing going. And that's 794 00:44:06,460 --> 00:44:08,500 when I have the corporate thing kind of, you know, sort of 795 00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:11,740 taken off some more. So everything I do, long story 796 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,940 short, is is online. So I have clients, mostly in the States, 797 00:44:16,380 --> 00:44:21,460 some in Canada, I have some in the UK, one in Iceland, one in 798 00:44:21,660 --> 00:44:24,060 two in Switzerland, it's like kind of spread out, but mostly 799 00:44:24,060 --> 00:44:27,180 concentrated in the States. Well, right. And that's the nice 800 00:44:27,180 --> 00:44:29,940 thing about what you do is it's available. Somebody wants it, 801 00:44:29,940 --> 00:44:33,620 then they can they can participate and use it. It was 802 00:44:33,620 --> 00:44:35,780 really interesting when Ben Mullen came on the show. This 803 00:44:35,780 --> 00:44:38,900 was I'm glad I remembered his last name. This was one of our 804 00:44:38,900 --> 00:44:43,340 first episodes. And this young man from New Zealand or 805 00:44:43,340 --> 00:44:50,540 Australia. Sorry. One of those two. He was up at like, four in 806 00:44:50,540 --> 00:44:54,780 the morning to be there for our for our podcast pre show. And I 807 00:44:54,780 --> 00:44:57,020 was like, dude, this kid's getting after like, he's not 808 00:44:57,020 --> 00:44:59,780 willing to make any excuses. He's willing to show up for the 809 00:44:59,780 --> 00:45:04,380 opportunity that he knew was right for him. And so we as 810 00:45:04,380 --> 00:45:06,700 people, we all have the opportunity to say, you know, 811 00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:09,540 what, I want more of this in my life. Oh, I mean, I'll let me 812 00:45:09,580 --> 00:45:14,020 make the let me take the actions necessary to get that. So Joe 813 00:45:14,020 --> 00:45:17,340 Villegas, this was awesome. Super happy that you came on the 814 00:45:17,340 --> 00:45:19,900 show. Everybody is listening, we're gonna do our best to make 815 00:45:19,900 --> 00:45:23,460 sure that all the the available action steps are in the show 816 00:45:23,460 --> 00:45:26,580 notes. So after you've heard this, look down below that and 817 00:45:26,580 --> 00:45:29,500 you'll see that we've got the action steps there.

But then 824 00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:54,940 also making sure that you take the actions. And sometimes it's 825 00:45:54,940 --> 00:45:58,500 easier a little bit of hand up to do so. Also on our show, 826 00:45:58,940 --> 00:46:01,500 you'll notice on the landing page in the top right corner is 827 00:46:01,500 --> 00:46:04,860 a button that says be our guest.
