Tell me in more detail, tell me about this vision you have, Rick.
Yeah, this is a big thing.
It's so funny.
I, I don't, this isn't funny.
It's just funny in my brain.
I think I'll tell you why it's funny to you all.
You know, when you're, you're, you're living it, you're not thinking about it.
You know, you're sort of like, Oh, I mean, I have 24 clients.
I have a year long program.
It's called produce you.
You just saw a little scissor wheel about it.
That's the, that's the work I do.
Right.
And I also do leadership development for corporate, you know, my, my work
life is very varied.
Feel very proud of that.
So I can speak to a room full of, you know, corporate executives.
And then I can go talk to a room full of nurses who are burnt out.
So the range is wide.
So I'm a fan of, I'm going to get back to the vision.
I promise little sidebar moment.
Um, Oh, that's fancy.
Look at that.
Wow.
That's so cool, man.
You've got the tech thing down.
Dude, we're working on it.
We're working.
I'm loving it.
That's very cool.
Thank you.
Um, my point of this was I'm going to stay with the vision back to the vision.
I had a tangential moment that got lost.
The vision was I was, I was, I jogged with my brother every day.
And I, we were, we chat about life.
We chat about work.
He's in the performance, the leadership development space as well.
He's also a minister.
And I said, you know what?
I think, I think what I love about the work I get to do, because I just did a
class for my clients this week to remind them to speak about why you love the
work you do, because people love to hear your being in love, right?
When we love to hear people who are in love, we'd love to watch people.
So I chatted with my brother and I said to him, you know, I think my job in the
world and my vision for the world and my quote unquote purpose, a little overused
phrase is to remind people or animate for people that they have the creativity
and the wisdom and all they have, all they have, everything they need to take
full responsibility.
And that's the word that can trigger people full responsibility with the life
they want, the business they want, the money they want, the impact they want to
have, like the family they want, the relationship they want, the sex they want.
Like we have full capacity to create everything we want.
We do.
I know you and I, that, that sounds like a big, like, of course, but boy, we take
responsibility part as a, as a, like we, we down, but no, no, no, I'm honoring
that.
Like we do like this is big.
And I know our audience really gets that, you know, these are, we're talking
about visionaries, people who there's people who are terrified of the word
vision, right, they think, oh my gosh, woo woo.
And there's also people who hyper inflate what vision means.
And that can further terrify people, but people who are coming to a show called
vision pros live and leadership, they get the essence and power.
And if I look out, if I look that way, I vision of a field and cows, like it's a
very tangible reality, but I can also imagine and build upon something greater.
But the reason why I said we can in relation to the want is there's a balance
of, you know, I can manifest anything in my life that I want to from a healthy
marriage to an absolutely toxic divorce.
Correct.
And we sometimes go after what we want in spite of what we need.
And there's a reason people end up at 400 pounds.
There's a reason people end up broken.
And we have an opportunity to realize like, am I, am I manifesting?
Am I searching for things that I want because of vices or am I doing so because
of virtues like purpose, which in some circles is never talked about.
Yeah.
So I'm saying let's open the conversation all fronts and you've got, you're,
you're helping so many people create abundance, create a belief in self.
And so where, where did your vision come from?
It's a great question.
It's so funny.
My brother asked me that yesterday.
It's something you're like, we're having this little like cosmic, oh my God,
we're having the, I'm having this brother conversation for the repeat that I don't,
I don't know.
I remember as a kid, okay, I'm going, I'm going back for a second.
I'm going to try to connect this dot.
So I'm 65 years old.
I'm a seventies kid.
I was enamored and fascinated and loved the Carpenters.
You probably, you know, this is even farther back.
Bee Gees is late.
You know, this is Karen, you know, we've only just gone top of the very, you
know, today's world that's like, oh my God, that's old people music.
It is, it's, it's what I bought.
My point of this is I became enamored by their counter cultural moment.
They came along when rock and roll was loud and they come along and like, we've
only just becomes the number one song by the way, this month in 1970, August of 1970.
So why I'm telling you that is it was counter cultural.
It was, everybody said, this is ridiculous.
And I became enamored by the, how did that happen?
They had the guts and the courage to make the sound, not compromise the sound.
This is what we do.
This is how we do it.
And somebody, Herb Albert, you know, that name came up.
Oh yes.
Personal moment, Herb Albert said, when he heard the first cut, like, you
know, he heard the first tape, you know, this comes into his office.
Hey, these kids listen.
He went, Oh my God, what's happening?
And he decided, you know, rest is sort of history, that personal moment.
I became enamored by that.
This is how we do it.
And, you know, Ark of one's career, you know, eight years, 10 years,
then it ends in a tragedy.
We know Karen Carpenter like does not end well, which let me go
off on that tangent for a second.
You, you brilliantly talked about the, the, the sort of, we're always creating,
right?
We're never not creating.
And here's my language for it.
And this is where my doctorate kicks in a little bit.
It's from some quantum physics, a little bit of Jungian therapy.
So there's light and shadow in the universe, right?
There's light and shadow in me.
Of course, of course.
Right.
And they're both creating.
So the shadow side, fear, all that.
We all know these words is creating something.
It's very simple.
Everybody is so important.
Our audience, um, you know, all of us get subject to trying to divide the light and
the darkness as though it's one side or the other.
Thank you, Fox, CNN, and all you arguing journalists that create that thing where
it's like polarizing, right?
All that are all good.
Uh, no, but it's, it's within what's all within us.
Right?
So I'm grateful that you open that.
Yeah.
And it's like a double, it's, it's like that double helix thing.
It's sort of, they're always, and they're always, they're always interacting with
each other all the time.
Of course, you know, the daily choice, the daily decision, the daily mindset to
your point, you know, what's the vision?
Because I'm always, I'm, I'm always creating my future.
I'm never never creating my future.
I'm never not.
So what am I seeing in my future start to, we'll start to come into my reality.
Very simple quantum physics or, you know, metaphysics one-on-one, right?
If I see it, I start to attract it.
You just gave me a diploma without $80,000.
Thank you.
Well, what's really fun that's happening in our world.
And I'd love, you know, you, you're about vision and connecting dots and, you know,
the, the, the science world is in quantum physics is now catching up with
spirituality and manifesting, like they're proving it, you know, because when
we look at something, it actually changes the molecular structure.
As we look at it, they've proven it.
You go off and it's, it's called the double, the double, the double slit
experiment.
I can't believe you figured out a way when I look at that, it actually is real.
And if I don't see it, it goes away.
And this is wild stuff, you know?
So, so it's a, it's a kind of mind boggling how to get your head around it.
But simply for you, for those of you that are listening, it's like, to your point,
you know, let's be conscious of the vision we're, we're living into because
you will live into the vision.
Absolutely.
Well, here's the opportunity for listeners too.
I mean, you, you've got a couple of decades of wisdom on me.
I don't take that for granted.
Oh, I mean, no, there's, there's a lot that you've unpacked.
And you've used your time well, you're leading people the right way.
And my, my conversations do not always go this way.
My audience knows it.
And in addition to that, there's a lot of people who do not make this stage.
And so there's so much value in what you're sharing and the value can be used by
the audience member who's willing to just exercise a little bit of faith, belief
in action, and just try it.
Right.
Just exercise a little bit and learn that wisdom is a little bit of a
challenge, but with time, as you exercise, I do sit ups, something naturally
happens to my body and the same is true of our, and I love that you proved it
because there's a book, a business book that nobody reads, that I'm a huge fan
of called tribal leadership.
Oh yeah.
When I'm aíup exactly.
And again, there's that decades of opportunity, right?
This book, I read 50 pages and I put it down for a year because I literally
I read other easier books, then I brought it back up and I read it.
I read that finished it.
And what breaks my heart for the tribal leadership organization is that they
find they literally disprove their own theory.
And they talk about that in the book and they kind of ran out of a budget, but
they ended up getting things established and moved.
And then they uncovered this level of life about abundance.
This aspect that we can live without competition with each other.
We can live with an idea that life is great, but they then turn and say the one
word people used to describe their cultures and their environments was miracle.
But that can't be real.
And they totally like threw it out.
I'm like, what are you doing?
You're right there.
You just found it.
It's not surprising to me.
Tribal leadership 2.0 has not come out in the last 15 years.
And I'm like, I'm not attacking them again.
I love this book.
I hope that David Logan, John King and Dr.
Haley Fisher, right?
Maybe you're a friend of theirs.
Maybe we can bring this whole circle.
It's funny.
If you overlap here.
Yeah, I do.
We've got to help the world catch this concept that there is evidence for this
reality because we aren't going to shift people into the 2% category of
championship level behaviors and awesome life is abundance winning unless we
recognize and honor the reality of what that culture feels like and what's
happening.
Yeah.
I'm with you completely.
I understand that.
I understand the philosophy and the concept and let me offer another way to
think about it.
Please.
And again, this is borrowed from a training I went to and let me do a little
sidebar related to that.
I am I empower most trainings until further notice.
Do I mean like I went to a crystal class one time and I'm like, you know, I'm
totally like crystals.
Are you kidding me?
And then they talked to me about energy.
I was like, oh, like I invite you all to empower other people's philosophy until
further notice.
Right.
And so I'm right.
Another way to see abundance.
Is that what we're talking about?
Another way?
Yeah, there's value in it.
There's something there for me because if I'm if I have shown up in it, that's
never accidental.
Like this is not an accidental conversation.
This is not an accidental, you know, alignment moment.
It's not at all.
Not at all.
Right.
And when you really start to live from that context, because living, by the way,
is contextual.
Like what's the context you live from?
Right.
But to your point of what were you saying about the the mirror?
I get it.
Right.
I think there I hope this makes sense.
I think there's a like a little bit of a two steps forward, one step back concept.
Right.
And and of course, right, we're you know, consciousness does not move in this
perfect.
I dare say we're all in the advanced consciousness business.
We're all advancing consciousness.
Little woo woo language.
But good leaders understand how to change the molecular structure of the team.
Right.
Almost almost right.
And you know, we got to change the way the team talks.
We got to change the way the team interacts.
We don't need to tell the team to work harder.
Right.
That's so 1986 opportunities.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
But it doesn't go like this.
This is not this perfect arc.
Right.
Sort of like, you know, oh, I'm really it's like me and my think about your daily
lives.
Everybody.
I'm really clear.
Oh, my God.
I'm so confused.
I'm going into it.
Oh, my God.
I want to quit.
It's too hard.
I mean, it's like, you know, so we are a microcosm of this macrocosm of like it,
like yay and ooh and yay and ooh.
Yeah.
And the key to this whole thing for me is to not have either side of that coin have
too much meaning.
Yes.
Like success is amazing.
Oh, my God.
I just my book is a bestseller.
I'm a chain.
I'm going to be successful.
Yeah.
OK.
No, that lasted about a week.
Great.
Back to business as usual.
You know, like whatever.
So that that that sort of ebb and flow of creativity and you're in it and you're on it.
I mean, I'm always reminding my clients if you don't want to quit half the time, it's
not a big enough game.
Yes.
I mean, what's the point?
Otherwise, it's the same game.
And that's just go get a job at Starbucks.
Nothing.
Starbucks got less.
They're paying 25 bucks an hour.
Go do it.
But those are our clients.
There's not people who cry.
Well, we're we're we're talking to the people who are like, yeah, you know, be my be my
guy.
Right.
You know, exactly.
Just a link to bigger game.
You know, I bought this book called Play Your Game.
You know, I'm seeing your great logo, the water project up there.
Thank you for the good work you do in outside of the like you guys are doing amazing work.
