Would you say that's also your why?
I mean, you've kind of explained it already,
but do you think that's also your why of why you do this?
Yeah, and so, you know,
I've been in personal development a long time.
And my first big goal I remember was to get,
so my first goal was to get into college, right?
Then after college, it was to get a good job.
And then I got a great job working
for one of the best companies in the world,
published author, six figures.
And then my next goal was to get out of my job, right?
And it was just like this evolution.
And one day I remember,
so my goal since I was probably 16 years old
was to travel the world, help people, and make money.
And I remember I was doing that.
And I was sitting in Dominican Republic,
making great money, traveling the world full-time,
and helping people.
And I was sort of depressed.
And my coach asked me, you know,
he was like, what's going on?
And what we discovered was like, well, what's next, right?
What's next?
And so what I did was I created a big enough why,
a big enough vision, a big enough purpose.
I sort of put it all under the same thing,
that it could never be satisfied, right?
It's a lifelong mission to empower people
to live an amazing life in all aspects of their life.
And I think the reason,
yeah, I've looked a lot, I was like, why do I do this?
Why don't I just go ride motorcycles?
Because I love riding motorcycles
and traveling and adventure.
Why do I work so hard at this?
And sort of the answer that I got was,
because there's no better feeling
than helping somebody else.
Like I've yet to see anything that can
resonate at that level of vibration,
energy, whatever you want to call it,
is helping another fellow person
achieve their goals and their dream and their vision
and seeing them either get that first job
or do that first deal or quit that job
or travel the world.
I've seen people see the ocean for the first time
and it's just like, oh yeah, I got to be part of that.
And there's nothing that can compete against that.
And so, you could call it selfishly, right?
It's like, I want to feel good about myself.
But I think in the right context
and the right values and the right principles, why not, man?
If that's what, who we are as humans,
I think is to make a difference with somebody else.
That is an amazing point.
I cannot, I could not put it in better words
than how you just put it.
Even whatever limited knowledge I have of life,
I can testify that the most fulfilled I've felt in joy,
that word I call joy, I've felt in my life
is when I was helping someone.
And no matter how, no matter,
no amount of achieving anything else can get you that,
get you that fulfillment, which is amazing, right?
It takes, I've looked a lot into this,
introspectively and coaching and development,
and I've been in it for a long time.
And one of the programs I was in is,
I went from being the student
to being a coach in the program.
And what happens is the attention is no longer on you, right?
You're like, oh, I don't care about my life.
I don't care about my problems.
I don't care about my inefficiencies or deficiencies
or however you wanna articulate that.
I'm only focused on that person I'm helping right now.
And there's a freedom around that
because you don't have to deal with your own mess of life
because we all got things going on.
Even if we have the greatest lives in the world,
it's like, we still gotta deal with whatever it is
that we're dealing with.
And so, it puts the focus on somebody else
and that's a great place to be
as opposed to in our own head sometimes.
Yeah, that's well put.
But let me ask you this,
this is off the script right here, right?
Would you consider helping someone from a position of,
I don't know, when you started,
this was a financial freedom that you had
or like passive incomes coming in
or like some knowledge that you acquired
that you wanted to share.
What position were you in when you started helping someone?
Like, okay, now this focus is off me.
You know, so yeah, so there was a point
where I got started in it for money
because I wanted to help myself, right?
But in helping myself, the only way you can get paid
is by helping someone else.
Like exchange of values.
Exchange of value, right?
Like I have to provide a legitimate value
in order for someone to pay me.
And it went from a different dichotomy
in the sense of, yeah, hey, I need money to,
yeah, I don't need money and I'm still gonna do it anyways.
Right?
And then, you know, so I always had the intention
of helping other people because that's what we're here for.
You know what I mean?
To get paid obviously, right?
In a business.
But the context changed
when I didn't need to do it anymore, right?
And now it's like more of a choice
as opposed to like you have to,
which, you know, gives some freedom
because there's some people I don't wanna help
because they're not ready for it, right?
