1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000 All right. 2 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,920 Oh, I used to, but I have a friend. 3 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:04,920 I shouldn't say friend. 4 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:05,920 He's an acquaintance. 5 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:11,760 I met him at a co-working space and he is running a pretty good startup at the time 6 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:17,440 and he wrote a book, published it called The Year With No Pants. 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,800 All about working from home. 8 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,280 You should all have a year with no pants. 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,280 Yeah. 10 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,280 Yeah. 11 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,280 Awesome. 12 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,280 Oh, it's great. 13 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,200 As long as you're a professional from here up, you're good to go unless you fall into 14 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,200 those horror stories. 15 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,480 Those happen too. 16 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:37,480 So been there almost. 17 00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:38,560 So you just never know. 18 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,360 You think that it would never happen, but when you have a studio and you go to get water 19 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,080 and stuff and you forget, you know, it's like- 20 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,520 You got to be careful at that and taking the computer into the bathroom. 21 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,520 Be very careful. 22 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,520 Oh, yeah. 23 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,560 I would agree with that one. 24 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,560 Well said. 25 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,600 So, Mary's leaders out there listening, like these are the power stories and tips that 26 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,960 you really, really need in life. 27 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,320 Coming in hot. 28 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,320 That's it. 29 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:05,800 Megan, I appreciate you being here. 30 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,800 We're going to dive in. 31 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,440 Guys, we're going to be talking about Megan's health journey and losing a hundred pounds 32 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,520 and keeping that off, which is absolutely awesome. 33 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,440 You look fantastic, by the way. 34 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,880 So way to do that. 35 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,560 And we're going to be talking about defeating negative emotions and how that holds us back 36 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,560 from our health. 37 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,600 And we'll talk about it at a lower level, like an entry level. 38 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,440 We'll talk about it at an extreme level, too. 39 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,520 Before we do that, I always want to know the resources. 40 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,800 Where did all this wisdom come from? 41 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,920 So what three resources, books do you recommend for other leaders out there? 42 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,960 I am I'm going to start with an oldie, buddy, goodie and go with the seven habits of highly 43 00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:45,560 effective people. 44 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,120 I was just transformed by that book. 45 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:57,160 It really helped me get in touch with values over, you know, whatever was driving me before, 46 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,760 which is probably I sure hope people look at me like I'm a competent person. 47 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,440 So that's a big one. 48 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,440 That's top for me. 49 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,320 And I think we forget about it, but it's super foundational. 50 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,040 Yeah. 51 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:17,880 And another one more focused on folks who are in the health weight loss space is this 52 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,880 wonderful woman. 53 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,520 She's a coach. 54 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,800 She's a podcaster. 55 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,360 Her name is Heather Robertson. 56 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,600 She has this podcast that really it's full of these powerful interviews with folks who 57 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,740 have both lost and maintained weight and folks who are currently struggling with it. 58 00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:42,920 And she just pulls this wonderful narrative of the commonalities between all of us, especially 59 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,840 in related to emotional eating. 60 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,160 So her podcast is called Half Size Me because she herself lost 170 pounds and has been keeping 61 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,640 it off since I think 2012. 62 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:55,640 She's amazing. 63 00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:02,320 And what a great play on the original, like the OG documentary on processed foods that 64 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,320 supersize half size. 65 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,320 That's cool. 66 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,320 So clever. 67 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,320 I love it. 68 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,220 And the third one is Cherry Pie Paradox. 69 00:03:10,220 --> 00:03:15,000 I believe the author is Joy Overstreet. 70 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,420 She created kind of a group weight loss program decades back. 71 00:03:20,420 --> 00:03:26,360 But before that she was a professional, she was a mother, and she was drowning in this 72 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,560 emotional eating habit. 73 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,960 And she noticed a friend who could just eat half a slice of cherry pie for breakfast and 74 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,280 just throw it away when she was full. 75 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,760 And that seems so foreign to her, to Joy Overstreet. 76 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,520 And the whole book is about her process of trying to eat and have a relationship with 77 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:53,720 food like a person like that who has this calm and understanding relationship with food. 78 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,620 So those are my three. 79 00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:57,280 Take them or leave them. 80 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,440 That is an interesting book. 81 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,640 I want to read that because I am the garbage disposal. 82 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,960 You are the garbage taking the second half of the cherry pie. 83 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,600 Yes, exactly. 84 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:15,040 Like I grew up in a house like that too, and my sister Veronica, I champion that. 85 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,320 I think the skinniest people in our family, ironically. 86 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,720 But it doesn't necessarily mean that we're consuming all the right things. 87 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,160 Anyway, I'm excited to read that paradigm and see what's there because we can always 88 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,160 improve. 89 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,680 As we improve, life gets better. 90 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,920 She has some amazing tangible exercises in that book that were pretty revolutionary for 91 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,920 me. 92 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:39,920 That's awesome. 93 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,200 I can't wait to dive into it. 94 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,760 So without further ado, we're going to get to the break a little bit. 95 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,040 We'll come back and we're going to talk about Megan's vision and her path to losing a hundred 96 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,720 pounds, keeping it off and how to help us all improve with our own disciplines, our 97 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,840 habits and our ability to move our health forward, our mindset forward and our spirituality 98 00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:58,840 forward as well. 99 00:04:58,840 --> 00:04:59,840 Throw that in as well. 100 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:01,280 We'll make sure to make some time for it. 101 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,280 All right. 102 00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:05,400 Welcome in to Vision Pros Live with Jackson Calame. 103 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,400 I'm your show host. 104 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,080 We will be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs and guest leaders who are building 105 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:21,880 fantastic visions out there. 106 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,880 Hey what's up everybody? 107 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,160 Welcome in to another episode of Vision Pros Live. 108 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,120 I'm your show host, Jackson Calame, founder and CEO of First Class Business. 109 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,680 And I am so excited to have Megan Gaul on stage today because she is somebody who practices 110 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,280 what she preaches. 111 00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:44,840 She has managed to lose over a hundred pounds in her life and maintain the goal of progressing 112 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:46,120 with her health. 113 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,240 And so what's really cool about that to me is it's one thing to go to a doctor who has 114 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,740 studied something a lot. 115 00:05:52,740 --> 00:05:56,160 It's another to go to somebody and get help from somebody who's actually been what you've 116 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,920 been through and has that. 117 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:04,840 And you know, in America, right now I could lose about 35 pounds right now and be in a 118 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,680 much better health. 119 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,080 I was there a couple of years ago. 120 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,920 So this is actually a personal endeavor on this show. 121 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,480 I'm going to be talking to her about it, kind of picking her brain from my own standpoint 122 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,680 because my knees and my back felt better when I was down at that other weight. 123 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,360 And you know, at the end of the day, it's just a little bit more fun to look at yourself 124 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,600 in the mirror when you're getting close to your peak possible physical self. 125 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,520 Now before I bring Megan on, I want to also give a shout out to other resources that help 126 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,620 us out and that we love to contribute to. 127 00:06:33,620 --> 00:06:37,000 So the first one is the law spot with Melissa Gray. 128 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,480 When she came on my show, I almost canceled the show because I don't like lawyers. 129 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,000 I'll just be frank about it. 130 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,560 Most lawyers are, they're contentious. 131 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,560 They're condescending. 132 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,920 I mean, they don't really explain things very well. 133 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,800 They're in such demand too, that they don't really need you and they know it and they 134 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,120 act like that. 135 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,400 Not the type of person I want to work with. 136 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,320 I'm glad I approved her for the show and said, yeah, let's do this. 137 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,320 I fell in love with her processes and what she's up to and how she portrays herself. 138 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,840 She's a human being first who also happens to really, really have a passion for law and 139 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:14,000 how you can protect brands out there by getting it done right first. 140 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,740 That's coming from a guy who had a $20,000 trademark lawsuit for a brand we already owned 141 00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:22,240 and we won, but we wasted tons of time. 142 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,160 We didn't really win when you're a startup and you need $20,000. 143 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,520 And then Apple patented one of our softwares and it was like, what? 144 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,760 That's not fair. 145 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,380 If we had been in a position to where we had been wise stewards and had counsel for us, 146 00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:39,340 then it wouldn't have been as scary or as painful financially as the situation was. 147 00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:43,560 So if it's not Melissa, do yourself a favor, start interviewing people so that you can 148 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,320 be a wise steward of your venture and protect yourself. 149 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,400 Then there's Andrew Sosin from Recovery Unplugged. 150 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,660 Recovery Unplugged is an addiction recovery program that incorporates the healing components 151 00:07:54,660 --> 00:07:57,200 of music into what they do. 152 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,360 And it goes beyond your traditional addictions, but if you have friends and family that are 153 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,480 struggling, it could be binge eating like we're going to talk about today with Megan. 154 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,440 It could be apps that they're stuck in or they're just binge watching series instead 155 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,940 of living their life. 156 00:08:10,940 --> 00:08:15,320 There's nothing wrong with absorbing a little content here and there, but when you're trying 157 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,880 to replace your life with external sources of feelings that aren't truly yours, maybe 158 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,380 it's time to call a hotline and seek help. 159 00:08:24,380 --> 00:08:27,800 Maybe it's time to call a hotline on behalf of your children or behalf of your spouse 160 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,320 or somebody else to find out what can you do to support those people. 161 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,560 I just know there's a lot of us out there who have people around us who say life is 162 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:39,120 fine, but they're really not feeling the best that life has to offer. 163 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,500 And we can do something about it by turning to programs like this one. 164 00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:44,240 So then there's the Water Project. 165 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,800 This isn't something that will help any of you. 166 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,120 My hope is you'll join me in helping others who are less fortunate than we are. 167 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,880 I've never had to worry about water in my life. 168 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,640 I've always had access to it, even when I did live in third world Uruguay for almost 169 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,240 two years. 170 00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,740 Never had to go without water. 171 00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:02,100 There are millions of people who don't have access to it. 172 00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:06,240 So I use this microphone to tell that story and say, you know, these kids, these family 173 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,800 members, they're held back in life in ways we can't comprehend. 174 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,520 The least we could do is tell others about the project. 175 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,600 The Water Project is doing such a great job of creating help for these individuals transparently. 176 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,560 If you give $5 to a community, for instance, you get to see the outcome of the gift that 177 00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,000 you've given. 178 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,820 And these kids celebrate water like it's Christmas Day. 179 00:09:26,820 --> 00:09:30,320 So we have an amazing opportunity to make a fantastic impact in the world. 180 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,320 I hope you meditate on the reality of what the transformation will look like for these 181 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,160 people if you decide to contribute. 182 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,360 Or if you thought of somebody just now who's like, man, I think this person, I think Stacey 183 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,680 would love to hear about this, then tag Stacey, give her the chance to decide if she wants 184 00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:46,840 to contribute or not. 185 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,120 You never know how far the ripple effect will go for the good things that you do. 186 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,920 We got 8 billion people to help. 187 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:52,920 Let's do so together. 188 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,200 And lastly, if you have a project like the Water Project that you want to raise funds 189 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,000 for that you want to see us contribute to, go ahead and drop it in the comments. 190 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,680 We would love to support what's out there and what's needed. 191 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:07,000 We just want to keep giving back. 192 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,080 That's what this life's all about, my opinion. 193 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,040 So without further ado, Megan Gaul, thank you so much for joining me on Vision Pros Live. 194 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,480 I'm excited to dive in. 195 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,480 Thank you, Jackson. 196 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,680 I am excited to be here. 197 00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:18,680 This is awesome. 198 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:19,680 Absolutely. 199 00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,760 So let's dive into those that you're serving directly. 200 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,240 So what is your vision for the people that you serve? 201 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,840 I really want to create like a force of people who put their health first. 202 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:38,760 I want to see them doing so with self-compassion in a way that feels like them and not like 203 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,800 they're taking on someone else's rules. 204 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,080 And I want to see them doing it without guilt. 205 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,480 There's way too much guilt in people attempting to live a healthier life. 206 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,600 And I want to see that go. 207 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,600 I don't think we need that. 208 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,600 I don't either. 209 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,960 I feel stuck with it sometimes. 210 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,480 And I'm grateful that you hit that. 211 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,120 I did have one small discovery when I was in Mexico a couple of years ago, right before 212 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,120 COVID. 213 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:09,520 And there's all these trees that have mangoes and that have avocados. 214 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:15,880 And it just dawned on me how many hit the ground and deteriorate. 215 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:16,980 And it's not a bad thing. 216 00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:17,980 That's just part of nature. 217 00:11:17,980 --> 00:11:19,760 It's like leaves falling. 218 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,840 But I grew up with this mentality that like there's starving kids all over the planet. 219 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,560 So if I don't eat everything that's on my plate, you know, I should feel guilty. 220 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,040 And I've got to eat everything that's here. 221 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:36,100 But then there's this paradigm like, man, how many mangoes and avocados don't get eaten 222 00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:39,200 every day and it's not hurting or helping anybody. 223 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,080 It just is. 224 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,200 How the heck do you get over that guilt? 225 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,080 Throwing food away. 226 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,960 Oh, the way you described it, because I have a strong, like innate, I don't know, from 227 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,760 growing up, an innate hatred of food waste because of that, you know, that you got to 228 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,720 finish everything on your plate. 229 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,880 You know, maybe we don't really get snacks between meals. 230 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,680 We don't know when that food's coming next. 231 00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:10,480 So like that feeling of this food has to go into your body or it's wasted is really common 232 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,900 in, you know, I think in the US probably in many other. 233 00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:15,900 It's not fun. 234 00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:21,760 And it comes from well-meaning parents who are trying to make sure you have food on the 235 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,760 table every day. 236 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,840 Of course, like it makes sense. 237 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,080 I mean, I'll blame Captain Planet, you know, or Reuse Recycle, right? 238 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,080 It's cool too. 239 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,680 Like there's a lot of mechanisms that really help us like, oh my gosh, we got to save every 240 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,160 bite of food. 241 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,160 Yeah. 242 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,020 And it comes from a good place, but it has created that, especially in the health realm, 243 00:12:44,020 --> 00:12:48,840 it's created this block for a lot of people in trying to eat in a way that works for their 244 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:56,520 body because they put the waste and the finances first before their physical health. 245 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,760 And I speak, I say they, but I have done that for many years and I've only recently in the 246 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,840 past few years been working on that very strongly. 247 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,440 And my favorite like technique to get around that is just getting real good with planning 248 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,000 that food, only buying what you need, you know, only buying enough for the leftovers 249 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,200 that you need this week. 250 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,560 But it's a big barrier for folks who are trying to, especially folks who are trying to reach 251 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:25,580 a healthier weight because coming down means smaller portions and smaller portions means 252 00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:30,280 that food either has to not get bought or has to go to someone else. 253 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,280 Yes. 254 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,400 That very good. 255 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:40,120 Any secret psychological tips on how to get past that feeling of waste? 256 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:45,120 I have a few kind of beliefs that I've cultivated around that. 257 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,200 And I think one of them that I like a lot, that feels very true to me now is I don't 258 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,080 have to be perfect at preventing food waste in my home. 259 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,800 That's not possible. 260 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:02,280 There's very few to zero households that can truly be zero waste. 261 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:09,140 So if you're looking at half a plate that you're not hungry for, you can have it tomorrow. 262 00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:10,180 You can throw it away. 263 00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:14,400 You can find someone else to have it, but you don't have to be perfect and have it right 264 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,320 now so that the day, you know, so that you've hit exactly the amount of food that you needed 265 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,440 to eat today. 266 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,040 That's an important belief that is hard to remember, but it's really worth it to cultivate. 267 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,720 You don't have to be perfect at it. 268 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,840 You can try to plan the best you can at the beginning of the week, but if it doesn't always 269 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,800 work out, that's okay. 270 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,200 You don't have to be perfect. 271 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,200 You've inspired me. 272 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,240 You gave me time to meditate on it. 273 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,940 And like, this is why it's so helpful to have these types of conversations. 274 00:14:40,940 --> 00:14:44,560 So I need to just start a compost pile. 275 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,560 Yeah. 276 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,560 Backyard. 277 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,880 If you have the time, go for it. 278 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:49,880 That's awesome. 279 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,880 Why? 280 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,120 I mean, maybe I don't know how to start a compost pile. 281 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,520 I feel like it just throw it in the corner. 282 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,840 You know, it's like, let nature take care of it. 283 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,240 I'm sure somewhere in your network, you can find someone who can help you do it. 284 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,480 There's like a bunny who comes in. 285 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,080 I don't know if it's good or not. 286 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,040 So you know, maybe, but I'll, yeah, I guess I'll think through that a little bit more. 287 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:18,080 But if I don't have, if I feel like it's going somewhere else positive, then I won't feel 288 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,740 the guilt of throwing it in a bag, you know, that goes to a landfill. 289 00:15:22,740 --> 00:15:29,600 So you ever noticed that pattern of, especially at a family dinner, that whoever's hosting 290 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,440 wants to foist off all the leftovers on you. 291 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,440 Yeah. 292 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,880 It's because they don't want it and they don't want to be the one to throw it away. 293 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,080 So they're just foisting that uncomfortable moment of throwing it away because no one's 294 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,080 going to eat. 295 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,600 No one's going to eat like mashed potatoes from four days ago. 296 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,200 No one's going to eat them. 297 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,200 Yep. 298 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,200 Yep. 299 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,200 Well said. 300 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,200 All right. 301 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,920 So let's dive into the vision that you have for, oh, I just, I'm sorry, the vision for 302 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:56,920 yourself. 303 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,520 So before we do that, if you don't mind, can you share with us the weight you were at and 304 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,880 the weight, you know, the hundred pounds you lost? 305 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,480 Because I think sometimes people can feel like, well, she's one of those people who 306 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,140 says like she lost a pound per day, but kept putting it back on and, you know, never really 307 00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:15,600 had to struggle with being overweight. 308 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,640 Do you mind telling us about that journey? 309 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,640 Absolutely. 310 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:24,640 I, in my early mid twenties, I was around 230, 240 pounds. 311 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:30,280 That was my, that was probably the highest weight that I had had had. 312 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,080 I am 34 now. 313 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,080 I'm sorry. 314 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,080 How tall? 315 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,080 Oh, how tall? 316 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,200 Five, four, five, five, somewhere in there. 317 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,840 Five, four, about 230. 318 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,840 Yes. 319 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,840 Yeah. 320 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,840 So I was definitely obese. 321 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,080 Like that was medically obese. 322 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:49,320 And I really got there through never thinking through my food in advance, making split second 323 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,840 decisions and emotional eating. 324 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,920 That was big, big three. 325 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,640 Because I eventually came down over the course of about 11 to 12 months to around the lowest 326 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,640 I was, was like 125. 327 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:09,140 Now I'm sitting pretty at 130 to 140 and kind of working on that, that range. 328 00:17:09,140 --> 00:17:10,140 You need a range. 329 00:17:10,140 --> 00:17:12,200 You can't aim for one number for the rest of your life. 330 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,200 That does not work. 331 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,200 Needs to be a range. 332 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,200 Fair. 333 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,200 Very good. 334 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,200 Okay. 335 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,600 So you've, you've made it to there and do you have kids? 336 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,600 I do not know. 337 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,600 Okay. 338 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,640 So I'm just involved in that equation as well. 339 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,800 Helpful to know. 340 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,480 And let's dive into your vision now. 341 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,440 So what's the vision that you have for yourself moving forward? 342 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,160 So for me personally in my life. 343 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,400 All right. 344 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,920 I want to be personal business. 345 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,200 I mean, it's your vision, so you can go as far and wide as you want with that. 346 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,200 Love that freedom. 347 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,760 Uh, I just want to be, I don't know, I want to be a really cool old lady. 348 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,960 I think I want to be like a superhuman, awesome doing everything old lady. 349 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:56,040 I want to be one of those really active gals in her seventies, eighties, you know, all 350 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,040 that. 351 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,240 Um, so I want to still do all the things that I really value. 352 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,440 Um, I want to, I want to travel. 353 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,560 I want to be really close with my circle and support them. 354 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:12,280 I want to, and I really want to continue this, uh, this business that I've created of just 355 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,680 helping folks prioritize the health in their life. 356 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,960 Like that made such a huge difference for me. 357 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,080 And I really want to bring that to other people. 358 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,080 Yeah, absolutely. 359 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaking of your business, we're going to, we're going to pull it up a little bit. 360 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,560 So partake meal planning and wellness. 361 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,520 I love, I love the name. 362 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,960 We bring that up and talk about it with the vision. 363 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,120 Tell us about the vision for like where it came from and where you're going with the 364 00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:37,120 business. 365 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:46,360 It came from, it came from a desire to, I was so built in my confidence from actually 366 00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:51,880 making a concerted effort to become healthier and reaching a lower weight where I could 367 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,920 just do things so much easier. 368 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:01,920 So that change in me created a big ripple effect in how confident I felt at work, what 369 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,120 I could accomplish with my relationships. 370 00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:10,440 So that made me really want to bring that same kind of confidence to a lot of other 371 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,840 people because I see how much, especially women, how much we struggle with the guilt 372 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,840 in getting healthy, with getting started, with feeling like we can never do it and it's 373 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,700 not for us. 374 00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:26,660 So my goal is to help people with the thing I know best, which is the kind of mechanics 375 00:19:26,660 --> 00:19:34,680 of losing weight and how to do that through habit change, not something that's going to 376 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,300 be temporary, but long-term habit change. 377 00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:39,920 So that was my vision. 378 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,320 That's what I wanted to do. 379 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:49,680 I moved from my nonprofit education job to a app-based text email coaching experience 380 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,980 for a bit, which was really helpful to get my feet wet. 381 00:19:52,980 --> 00:19:58,000 And then very quickly after that, probably a year is when I started offering the service 382 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000 myself, the one-on-one service. 383 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Awesome. 384 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000 Awesome. 385 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,600 And onward and upward for the next several decades. 386 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,600 That's right. 387 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,440 I really find the sea unfold. 388 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,520 Let's talk about leadership for a little while. 389 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,200 So we're going to dive into the darkest subject. 390 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,520 What is the worst leadership experience that you've ever had in life? 391 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:29,080 This is a rough one, but when I was 22, 23, I was the general manager of an IHOP for six 392 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,080 months. 393 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,720 It was not great. 394 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,720 It was awful. 395 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:43,920 I knew at the restaurant industry and the team, full of great people, but the support 396 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:49,520 was not there in that environment for me to understand what the heck I was doing. 397 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:57,160 So I felt out of my element in the supercharged line cooks versus waitresses versus hostesses 398 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,320 rivalries. 399 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,780 And I just didn't have the amount of experience to take that on comfortably. 400 00:21:04,780 --> 00:21:09,720 So I took it on uncomfortably and gave it the old good college try for six months. 401 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,440 But I think it was the worst leadership experience only because I felt alone. 402 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:22,960 I felt unsupported and like I wasn't able to do what I was hired to do and didn't feel 403 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:23,960 great. 404 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:24,960 Did not feel good. 405 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,960 I get that. 406 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,040 Makes sense. 407 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,800 So International House of Poor Management. 408 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,600 I'm a Denny's guy. 409 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,120 My kids love IHOP. 410 00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:38,120 It's totally the syrups. 411 00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:42,400 I'm the kid I wanted to go because of this, but Denny's better. 412 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,520 I'm just going to leave that where it's at. 413 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,520 That is a good point. 414 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:53,120 If our establishment and franchise or businesses, if we as business owners don't take a hands-on 415 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:59,400 approach to helping our team members be in a position to succeed, creates unnecessary 416 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,160 stress, anxiety, inconsistencies, the whole nine yards. 417 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:08,520 That is a very practical reality that business owners can learn from of all types of businesses. 418 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,520 Yeah. 419 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,360 You have any thoughts on that before we go into best? 420 00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:13,360 Oh, no. 421 00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:18,840 Only that it gave me a great idea of what lack of support really looked like. 422 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,200 A great idea of what? 423 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,200 Of what a lack of support really looked like. 424 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,960 It gave me an idea of what not to do. 425 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,960 Yeah. 426 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:26,960 Yeah. 427 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,800 I know that that's, again, a lot of times that's what leads us to realizing like, oh, 428 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:30,800 cool. 429 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,480 If I do the opposite of this, then you end up with the best ideas. 430 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,320 So what is the best leadership experience that you've ever had? 431 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,880 Can I share my first positive? 432 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,200 Yeah, of course. 433 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,360 Because I've had a lot of really positive examples of growth that I'm proud of, but 434 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:52,400 I like this one because it's very early on and an early positive experience. 435 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,360 I was working at a nonprofit. 436 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:59,760 I was on the strategy team, recently came out of like a secretarial role almost and 437 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,080 was now in a manager role. 438 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,800 Not people manager, just work manager. 439 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,080 And I felt like the baby at this job. 440 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,960 I felt like everyone had been in it longer, knew more than me. 441 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,040 I had to go to everyone for help for everything. 442 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,080 No one came to me. 443 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,960 That's how I felt. 444 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,080 And lovely people, awesome people. 445 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,360 But that's how I felt. 446 00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:28,020 And one day there was going to be a retreat of work from home retreat. 447 00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:35,000 And I signed up to lead a cooking demo just as a little team building thing. 448 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,240 And it was such a transformation of energy to feel like I had something to share and 449 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,920 bring that was positive to these people who had been constantly, I felt like holding my 450 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,760 hand for a year and a half or two years. 451 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,560 So it was just a switch in energy. 452 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,940 And I felt instantly like a fellow adult in the room. 453 00:23:54,940 --> 00:24:01,680 It gave me just a different level of confidence that it really helped me get in touch with 454 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:08,040 like, okay, I can lead, I can teach something, especially if I feel really confident in it 455 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,040 and I love it. 456 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,520 And I think that was one example of what helped me see. 457 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,260 It's not that I'm bad at everything that I feel this way. 458 00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:19,880 It's that I haven't, I'm not teaching what I really love and I'm not engaging in the 459 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:20,880 work that I really love. 460 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,040 So let's go find that. 461 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,040 That's awesome. 462 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,600 That's multifaceted. 463 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,040 One, you know, it hits home for me. 464 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:38,280 I went to school at Brigham Young University and I was not qualified to be there. 465 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,880 And so it's hard when you're around a bunch of people that are better than you at almost 466 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,280 everything that you do. 467 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,620 You can feel very inadequate and not like, you know, you feel like you don't belong. 468 00:24:50,620 --> 00:24:55,800 And so it does put you in a position where you can really doubt your strengths and you 469 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,800 bring up a good point. 470 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,480 You have the opportunity to move on from it, but you also found before you moved on an 471 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,220 opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way. 472 00:25:05,220 --> 00:25:12,800 And so it's not always a requirement for us to leave when we can't provide value in the 473 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,400 existing circumstance. 474 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,800 Sometimes there's an opportunity to be creative and find a way to contribute in a way that's 475 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:25,080 meaningful even though, you know, you may feel like the, I don't know, the pinky instead 476 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,920 of the thumb on the hand. 477 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,400 Oh, I like that. 478 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:34,360 Yeah, I think I could have stayed there if I had, I think now looking back, I feel like 479 00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:41,400 now I have the skills and the maturity and the self confidence to say, I could have made 480 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,400 something there. 481 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,000 I could have stayed there and kept going and felt more confident over time, but I'm glad 482 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,920 that I didn't because I took a choice. 483 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,040 I like the direction you went. 484 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,920 I made a choice that like lights me up and taught me a ton. 485 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,440 So that I'm, I'm so thankful that I did. 486 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,440 Yeah. 487 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,440 Super helpful. 488 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,520 I think both stories that really helped me because I can, I still want to, it's not my 489 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,520 alma mater. 490 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,520 I mean, at a 0.33 GPA. 491 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,960 So I don't think I get to say alma mater, but that there's still an association, right? 492 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,320 With people related to that. 493 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,960 And you've kind of given me an idea more so too of like, okay. 494 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,800 And I'm when I'm in situations like that, or when we are as leaders and it's not our 495 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,280 job to lead. 496 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,560 I love the, there's somebody who said the best leaders are the best followers. 497 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:35,400 And oftentimes that's an important mechanism to, to, to utilize and say, okay, this is 498 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,000 my time to follow, but here's how I can contribute as I follow. 499 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,000 Yeah. 500 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,080 I like that. 501 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:46,520 If this is, if this was literally your last chance to share a powerful lesson of visionaries 502 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,040 and leaders, what powerful lesson can other visionaries learn from your experience? 503 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,520 It's a tough one. 504 00:26:54,520 --> 00:27:01,800 I feel like my, my lessons are all related to my area of expertise, not necessarily to 505 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,580 other visionaries, but to other folks struggling where I was with food and emotions. 506 00:27:06,580 --> 00:27:10,440 So I'm going to share a lesson related to that. 507 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:17,300 If you feel like you're stuck in that spot of, of doing that emotional eating, you, there's 508 00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:24,480 probably an area of comfort or an action that's restorative that you haven't explored yet. 509 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:29,360 Or that you don't want to explore or you haven't tried it yet. 510 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:35,600 So if you're stuck in that, an easy place to start is by making a list of some restorative 511 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,200 calming activities and doing one a day. 512 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,400 And I think that can apply to whenever we see a habit that we know we don't want to 513 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,400 be doing. 514 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,040 So maybe that's like avoiding work and just doom scrolling. 515 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,360 I'm sure people who work from home can say that they've done that once or twice, but 516 00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:57,680 some people do it at, you know, to an alarming degree. 517 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:03,520 If you're in that space where you're doing something that's coping, but it's not constructive 518 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:10,560 and you want to stop, find those short lists of calming restorative actions and do one 519 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,600 a day and see if that makes a difference. 520 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,120 Wow. 521 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:16,680 I'm going to have you continue with that. 522 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,040 I want to try to write down what you said, because I love the aspect of these calming 523 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,040 restored restorative actions. 524 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,840 What is your list of calming restorative actions? 525 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,080 I love a good walk around the block if the weather permits. 526 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:40,520 I love a good physiological sigh, like just for a few minutes. 527 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,520 Have you ever done those? 528 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,520 Yeah. 529 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,520 You said a sigh. 530 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,520 Yeah, a sigh. 531 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:51,240 They're like two, one big deep breath in, one more, and then let it out real slow. 532 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,240 Oh, you do two of them. 533 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,240 Oh, that's fun. 534 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,360 That's the double take on that. 535 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,800 It's nice. 536 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,920 I love a good hands activity. 537 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:08,800 So whatever that is for you, some people love scrapbooking, coloring, sewing, crocheting, 538 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,680 knitting, all that stuff. 539 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,340 Something that involves your hands and not so much your head, because sometimes that 540 00:29:16,340 --> 00:29:19,440 coping mechanism is to get out of your head. 541 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:24,560 Sometimes I'm coping because I don't want to process the stuff in my head, but doing 542 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:30,080 that calming stuff with your hands that you don't need your head for can really help bring 543 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,280 the body back into decision mode now. 544 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,280 Most of my family would love exactly what you just said. 545 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:46,320 I hate clutter and crafts, but very similarly, I use a very specific game for that. 546 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,840 I've played it a long time. 547 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:48,840 Dr. Mario. 548 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:49,840 Love that. 549 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:50,840 It's super simple. 550 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:58,760 I don't really have to do, but I can't think about multiple things at once while I'm doing 551 00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,760 that. 552 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,520 Normally my brain is on like a thousand things, but if that's kind of my mechanism for it's 553 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,520 clean, I don't make a mess. 554 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,140 This is a little controller, but it's the same type of idea. 555 00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:14,200 My hands are moving, my brain is unplugged, and I can just get really present really fast. 556 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,580 And I get bored with that for 30 minutes, so I can't get stuck in it. 557 00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:19,840 It's not harmful. 558 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:25,100 And often you come out of it with a more calm constitution. 559 00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:29,560 You can tell that it's not a good calming restorative practice if you come out of it 560 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,800 and the problem is still there, you're still wrapped up in the story that you had, or you 561 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,060 feel worse. 562 00:30:37,060 --> 00:30:43,680 When you're emotional eating, often you feel worse after that last bite is gone. 563 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,040 Some people do the doom scrolling. 564 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,340 When you're doing that, you feel scattered when you put the phone down. 565 00:30:48,340 --> 00:30:51,320 You feel like your eyes hurt, your brain hurts. 566 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,320 I don't know. 567 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,880 What is doom scrolling? 568 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:54,880 What does that mean? 569 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,120 It's when you're stuck on your feed. 570 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:04,240 So you have Instagram or Tik Tok or Facebook and you can't stop consuming what's happening. 571 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,520 So you're just going from thing to thing, looking for that, like, I don't know if it's 572 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,800 a dopamine hit or just something to not. 573 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:12,800 Yeah. 574 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:13,800 Yeah. 575 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,800 I'm with you. 576 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,400 Like I like that you have more of the knowledge than I do. 577 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880 I like to mumbo jumbo is kind of what I call it. 578 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,360 You know, it's like I understand it from like the technical stuff. 579 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,640 I'm not a doctor. 580 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,480 So I leave the technical stuff elsewhere. 581 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,480 But you're right. 582 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:34,960 When I was, I took a job during COVID first time in years and I was president of a company, 583 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,040 but I found myself playing this game called Homescapes. 584 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,880 I was, I never played that like in years. 585 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,880 Like I just didn't have it in me. 586 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,360 I didn't want to. 587 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,240 I found myself escaping life into that, but I didn't realize it. 588 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,200 You know, it was like, it was like a month later where I was like, what am I doing? 589 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,560 I'm not a child. 590 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,400 Why am I doing this? 591 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:02,080 You know, and it took me a while to figure out what I was going on in life that was causing 592 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,000 me to want to escape my situations. 593 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,000 You didn't feel better. 594 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000 You felt worse after. 595 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000 Yeah. 596 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,380 And it's a difference between what you said, escape and restoring. 597 00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:18,000 Like so that you can better tackle it when you come back to it. 598 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,000 Right? 599 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,880 Like the escape is like, I'm urgently needing to be out of it. 600 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:27,760 The restore is I would like to set myself up better to handle this. 601 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,760 That's the difference. 602 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,760 Absolutely. 603 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:30,760 Okay. 604 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:31,760 So we're going to use the rest of our time. 605 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,920 We're going to be talking about defeating negative emotions that hold you back with 606 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,760 health, learning more about your processes, your systems. 607 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,200 You got me super intrigued. 608 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,860 By the two meetings that we've had, I'm like, man, you got the depths to you and you've 609 00:32:44,860 --> 00:32:47,040 got such an authentic story. 610 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,160 If you know, people are working on losing a hundred pounds, obviously this is going 611 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,200 to help them with their health journey. 612 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,760 But I'm just going to say right now, visionaries, leaders out there, this applies to your physical 613 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,600 wellbeing, your mental wellbeing and your spiritual wellbeing. 614 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,600 So let's dive in. 615 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,360 How do you defeat negative emotions? 616 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:11,080 I'm going to take issue with your, your word defeat or our word defeat. 617 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,400 I'm totally cool with that. 618 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,720 I love that. 619 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:21,080 Because negative emotions are going to be there throughout life and we're always going 620 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,920 to need to be coming out the other side. 621 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,360 And sometimes we need to do really hard things while we're in those negative emotions. 622 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,400 So my approach is not defeat. 623 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:41,000 My approach is notice and be next to almost like notice and be okay with. 624 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,120 Be aware, be aware. 625 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,120 Yes. 626 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:51,040 And there's so many ways to help you get that shift of not being the feeling, but being 627 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,380 next to the feeling. 628 00:33:53,380 --> 00:33:59,020 And I think some of the big ones have to do with how you conceive of that feeling. 629 00:33:59,020 --> 00:34:04,080 So if you conceive of it as your inner child, for example, so people love the inner child 630 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,640 work and I can see that being super helpful because you're thinking of that emotion, not 631 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:14,680 as something negative that like you have to squash, but you're thinking of it as when 632 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,520 I was young, I needed that emotion. 633 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:24,200 Like for example, if you always cleaned up when your parents were arguing because you 634 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,320 didn't want them to start yelling at you, you wanted them to be happy. 635 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,360 You might do that now. 636 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:35,280 You might see yourself viciously cleaning the house to escape something. 637 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,560 But if you see that emotion, like you're scared, you're feeling really stressed in your body 638 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,680 as an inner child, like what did you need at that time? 639 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,880 Maybe it was a hug. 640 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,920 Maybe it was rest. 641 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,760 Maybe it was someone to say, you don't have to worry about this. 642 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,040 This is not as important as you're feeling like it is. 643 00:34:55,040 --> 00:35:00,360 So it's a way to look at that negative emotion and either soothe it or just be with it in 644 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,080 a way that doesn't need it to be defeated and quashed and get out of there. 645 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,080 I love that. 646 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,920 That's my drop out for you. 647 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:14,200 I'm going to read your original write up about the vision because it's going to double down 648 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,080 on what you just talked about and point out the difference between what my thought process 649 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,560 was in creating a title and really the value, the way you just leveled it up. 650 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:27,560 So you said, my vision is that a listener to our interview is going to feel lit up by 651 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:32,920 an inspiring story of overcoming the statistics of staying a healthy weight. 652 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:38,520 Feel reassured that small steps and daily habits can create huge transformations, reaffirm 653 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,960 that they want to become a better person. 654 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,440 Feel interested in the data, the analysis, the concrete steps that you yourself took, 655 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,320 Megan, to create sustainable weight loss over time and to feel that they are not alone if 656 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:55,360 they struggle with anxiety and stress and will love the concrete tips to managing this 657 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,800 and will feel open to challenging their preconceived notions, especially about diet and weight 658 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:00,800 loss. 659 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:08,160 So to your credit and to your point, you never said one thing about needing to defeat emotions. 660 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:14,880 That was how I interpreted how I influenced people to go from where they may be to where 661 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:20,760 you've arrived to with this lit up reality and wanting that like, well done. 662 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,560 Like that was, that was so awesome. 663 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:28,040 So embracing negative emotions as it can be a part of the path. 664 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:33,040 It doesn't have to be a fight or a resistance, so to speak, but more so an exercise in self 665 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,040 awareness. 666 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:40,160 And the faster you can be next to it, the easier it goes. 667 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,440 The easier it says, okay, I've been here. 668 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,880 I've done what I need to do. 669 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,640 I'm going to go. 670 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:50,640 So the faster you can like get into the habit of being okay with it, the shorter I've seen 671 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:56,280 this in my life, the shorter those periods of self doubt and downness really seem to 672 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,360 be so you can get back to doing the stuff you want to do and prioritizing what you want 673 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,360 to prioritize. 674 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,920 I love that. 675 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,240 Thank you so much for it. 676 00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:12,280 So now that we've overcome my limiting belief and going towards, you know, not holding back 677 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:18,000 on our, I guess are there other mechanisms of holding back regarding health and really, 678 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,880 I'd like to give you five to 10 minutes to also just enlighten me. 679 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,560 What questions should we be asking ourselves about health and wellness? 680 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:32,760 That opportunities can open my eyes as well as the audience's eyes to really fully embracing 681 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,600 what it is that's helped you so we can overcome our challenges. 682 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,600 Hmm. 683 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:43,440 Well, as far as what questions you can ask yourself, I think the first one has always 684 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:48,400 got to be like, what, what do you want to see that's different than now? 685 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:53,760 Because it's shocking how vague we actually are. 686 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,080 And specificity always helps if you are looking to make a change. 687 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:05,560 So in, in my journey, I very clearly wanted, I didn't necessarily want weight loss right 688 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:06,560 away. 689 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:12,600 I really clearly wanted to treat food in a more peaceful way. 690 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,900 I wanted to be okay with the food I was eating and not feel that cycle of guilt every day. 691 00:38:17,900 --> 00:38:21,340 So that was my very clear vision for what I wanted. 692 00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:24,680 And that really helped me choose, I think, the right path for me. 693 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,240 It wasn't Weight Watchers. 694 00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:28,280 It wasn't a personal trainer. 695 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:29,280 It was a therapist. 696 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,760 It was CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy. 697 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:38,960 I'm glad that I got specific on what I really wanted because it led me to something that 698 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:45,040 I think was the much better way to go and eventually get to a place where I could prioritize 699 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,160 health and lose the weight. 700 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,640 So that's always the first thing. 701 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,680 Get really clear on what you're doing now and what you want to see different. 702 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,880 So you've caught me with these philosophies, like in a good way. 703 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,000 You've got the principles. 704 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,400 That's striking me. 705 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,860 It's obviously clear. 706 00:39:02,860 --> 00:39:07,520 And I'm really excited for people to know what the next level looks like. 707 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,520 So you've got some pages here on work with me. 708 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,800 It says one-on-one coaching, accelerator program, all coaching, a free meal planner 709 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:15,800 club. 710 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,800 Do you want to walk me through these and which one do you want to start with? 711 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,480 Yeah, I'll start with the two types of one-on-one coaching. 712 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,080 So partake. 713 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,080 They really address people at two different points or two different desires of how they 714 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,320 want to work. 715 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:36,340 If you're looking at partake one-on-one, it really means that you want to pursue a specific 716 00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:46,620 weight loss goal and you want to do it in a clear but kind way that is not hurried. 717 00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:49,880 So your goal is not long-term results. 718 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,160 Either way, when you're working with me, your goal is the long-term result. 719 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,160 You want to keep it off. 720 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:59,320 But with partake, there is no common structure that every single person takes. 721 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,680 It's very you. 722 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,360 It's very exactly what you want to see. 723 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,980 If you want to pursue your weight loss by adding steps in your day and increasing vegetables, 724 00:40:07,980 --> 00:40:10,760 we're going to work on those very specific action plans. 725 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,120 If you want to do it by getting a gym subscription and tracking your calories, we're going to 726 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,160 do it very specifically that way. 727 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:23,000 We're going to get an action plan together, test it, work together to tweak it, track 728 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,960 results over time. 729 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,960 That's partake. 730 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:34,600 Accelerate is for folks who have a bit more urgency to their goal and would like to pursue 731 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,240 it that weight loss goal in an efficient way. 732 00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:38,240 I don't say fast. 733 00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:42,160 I say efficient because fast is not great. 734 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:48,680 It often results in losing muscle along with the fat, which is not fun. 735 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:55,200 It often results in people taking on actions that they're not willing to do long-term. 736 00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:01,200 When you choose the accelerate way, you are saying, I would like to get efficient, track 737 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:06,160 my calories, understand my maintenance calories and my deficit calories, and pursue it in 738 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,960 that clear, direct way. 739 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,960 That's the difference. 740 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:16,420 In both programs, you get weekly meetings with me, email access, a lot of resources 741 00:41:16,420 --> 00:41:19,680 that I've put together, and that structure. 742 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,120 Those are the two different people that would appeal to. 743 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,000 That's awesome. 744 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,960 Did you want to talk about the other programs? 745 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:27,960 Yeah. 746 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,680 I would love to talk about my free meal planner club. 747 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,760 I think it is such a common thing. 748 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:42,680 It addresses a very common block, which is I am winging my meals every single week. 749 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,960 It's a very simple offering. 750 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:51,640 It's free, and what you get is a weekly recipe, and you get a 30-minute class every Thursday, 751 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:56,760 a 330 ET, where we together make your meal plan. 752 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,360 We all hop on Instagram Live. 753 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,360 I am showing you exactly how I walk through my personal meal plan for my household. 754 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:10,800 You are able to print out my planner, plan your meal right alongside me, your menu, and 755 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:17,440 any time you get stuck, that's when the comments, the jumping in live, that is what you have 756 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:22,400 to help you get over that stuck point when you half did your meal plan, and then you're 757 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,080 winging the rest of the week. 758 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,080 Yeah. 759 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,080 Absolutely. 760 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,080 That's awesome. 761 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,120 I'm really grateful for your demeanor as a guide. 762 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:31,720 You've got that nurturing nature. 763 00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:34,280 You've got that personal story behind it. 764 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:41,480 You're very intentionally articulate in how you're going about this, and it just, the 765 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:46,480 piece of your approach resonates really, really well with me. 766 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:54,920 It's amazing that I hosted Jack Skills yesterday, and on his agency site, I want to find the 767 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:55,920 quote. 768 00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:01,120 His agency site starts with the quote, ta-da-da-da-da. 769 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,120 Here it is. 770 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,240 Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. 771 00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:09,520 I was like, like that. 772 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:10,960 Yeah, doesn't it? 773 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:11,960 Just resonate. 774 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,080 That hits me right in the heart. 775 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:19,440 I recommend borrowing from that for what you're doing and how you're- 776 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,200 Such a simple way to say that. 777 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,800 Oh, I've been searching for a simple way to say that. 778 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,400 I have to credit him now every time I say it. 779 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,400 Absolutely. 780 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,840 If you look at his website, the agency agile, you'll see the image that goes along with it, 781 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,040 and it's like, oh, that just makes so much sense altogether. 782 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,920 It has all the feels. 783 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:47,160 Whether it's you as a leader or visionary out there, you're struggling to defeat negative 784 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,160 emotions rather than find out how they might be beneficial to you, or you're holding your 785 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,480 health back in some way or another. 786 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,640 I'm a huge fan of coaches. 787 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,420 I absolutely love coaching. 788 00:43:58,420 --> 00:44:05,240 I avoid coaches who say the words, or people who say the words, I already have a coach. 789 00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:08,800 It's like, you only have one source of knowledge. 790 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,800 Why? 791 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:10,800 Yeah. 792 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,540 Why would you limit yourself? 793 00:44:12,540 --> 00:44:18,320 That person might be great at health or nutrition, but they may not be great at strength training 794 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:19,320 and beyond. 795 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:24,920 So finding the opportunities to level up, diving into the resources that we have, this 796 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,960 is how we can maximize our lives, visionaries. 797 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:33,440 We're going to have the action steps for this episode right below the episode on the landing 798 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:34,440 page. 799 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:40,520 Now, if you've got a comment about this, if you've got something you want to contribute 800 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,960 about Health and Wellness, please do. 801 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,240 We'd love to hear that in the comments. 802 00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:47,000 You can, of course, reach out to Megan as well on her social media channels. 803 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,680 Like, subscribe if this has helped you. 804 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,240 We also have one more invitation for you. 805 00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:55,880 If you're a visionary, you're a leader, I don't have any right to challenge that, but 806 00:44:55,880 --> 00:45:00,800 if your vision is helping others or going to help others, hit the button that says, 807 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:01,920 be our guest. 808 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,920 Come share it on the show. 809 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,400 That's super important to us. 810 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:10,280 So as we get ready to wrap up, Megan, do you have any final pieces of wisdom you want to 811 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,280 share with the audience? 812 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,280 Oh, put me on the spot. 813 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:14,280 I am. 814 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:23,360 I think, I don't know, what I've learned in my particular health journey was that I kind 815 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,920 of knew a lot of the stuff. 816 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,040 So knowledge was not the problem. 817 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:35,320 It was, it was creating an environment where I felt capable of doing the things I said 818 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,640 I would do. 819 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,400 So if you feel like you've got this like health goal and you're like in an internet rabbit 820 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,840 hole collecting keto this and intermittent fasting that it might not be the information 821 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:47,840 that you're missing. 822 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:53,080 It might just be the clarity of the one or two things you want to change between now 823 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,160 and next week. 824 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:59,440 So don't go crazy with the extra knowledge. 825 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,280 You've probably got a lot of it already there. 826 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,520 Just move, just do an action. 827 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,080 I love it. 828 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:11,480 So my last highlight regarding Megan, you guys, I think this is what I love most about 829 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:12,480 Megan. 830 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,480 I can tell from her form submission, I can tell by your website, I can tell by the way 831 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:21,800 you interact, you are a super fun and energetic individual who loves to bring high energy. 832 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:27,960 And yet you've had the capacity to completely respect and honor my nature. 833 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,240 And you've caught that I tend to be more reverent. 834 00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:35,280 Like I don't tend to gravitate towards that as much as I love and appreciate it. 835 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:40,320 And you've had this ability, the whole show you've managed to mold completely towards 836 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,080 that, that reverence. 837 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:48,840 And that's, that takes some serious EQ, which means you've got the emotional capacity that 838 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:54,040 help people of all different types of lifestyles, diverse backgrounds. 839 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,000 So again, I just, I can't say enough good things about you. 840 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,000 This is a lot of fun. 841 00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,000 Thank you. 842 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,960 This is a great way to spend an hour, a little less than an hour. 843 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,300 It was a lot of fun. 844 00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:07,320 So Vision Pros, you guys have a fantastic weekend. 845 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,120 We hope to see you in the next episode. 846 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,760 And again, we'll, we look forward to your
