Matthew Sanjari, tell me about your vision.
Yeah, I mean, something that I've really,
I've always aspired to do, I think
it's just had different skins over the years,
is I want to see people reach their full potential.
And that can sound really vague.
So if I were to go a little bit more specific,
I want people to not leave anything on the table.
So if they have a dream in their heart, if they have a skill,
if they have potential, I want to see them outwork it.
I call it from concept to completion.
And so however that partnership looks like,
whether I function as a coach or wear my other hat
as a consultant, or in previous iterations where I've also
been a pastor, I really want to see people
live the fullness of what's on their life
and what's in their heart.
I love that.
So you mentioned many skins.
Where did this come from?
Where does vision come from, or how did you get started?
Let me ask you, Carlos.
Yeah, I think the vision really came
from just witnessing growing up in my family dynamics.
I'm a first generation Canadian.
My father's a refugee, my mother an immigrant.
And so I saw really early on my parents
go through the struggle, go through hardship,
not have much, and yet give the shirt off their backs
and welcome people regardless.
And my parents always had this habit
of leaving people better than how they started.
And I think that just stuck with me.
We'd have conversations over the years,
but it was never, hey, you need to do this,
or life needs to look this way.
It really was just a lot of osmosis.
And as I started to progress through life,
worked as a pastor, people development, leadership,
got into the entrepreneurial game,
I really just saw this need that I honestly
saw in my own life of how can I make sure
that I'm not just one of those stories of people
who had a lot of potential, who had some charisma,
who had some ideas, but did nothing with it?
And more than do nothing with it,
that didn't actually impact the world around them
or didn't help people.
And so as I started to figure things out in my own life,
I've taken that and hopefully just tried to inspire
and serve people around that as well.
I love that description of learning through osmosis
from the parents.
And it's awesome to meet people who are able
to both honor that and who have been blessed with that.
My mom was that way, my dad was not so much that way.
And so we had, it's, I have, but I grew up in a lot of homes
where I was able to kind of learn
from other people's parents and understood the value
that that brings to people.
And it's just cool when people have the opportunity
to maximize that gift.
So thanks for talking about that.
I wanna talk about a few concepts with you real quick.
Tenacity, hustle, grind, or diligence.
What's the difference?
Are they the same?
Is there harmony or discord with these concepts?
I'd love your thoughts on that.
Yeah, that's really, really good.
I think obviously hustle is a word that's very prevalent
in our culture right now, whether you are hustling
to make something happen or you've got a side hustle.
I think that all three of those words are very,
it's funny, cause they sound similar,
but I actually think they're really different.
Tenacity to me has always referred to, again,
it sounds a little cliche, but it's always referred
to the contents of someone's character, right?
When someone has tenacity, to me,
it's not so much about what's happening to them
or what they've been through as much as how they're able
to handle it and push through, right?
Hustle is this idea that I think, you know.
Oh, like resilience.
Yeah, very much so, right?
With hustle, you know, anyone can hustle.
Anyone can exert some energy for some, you know,
for a quick goal, I wanna make 10K, you know?
I wanna make six figures.
I wanna land this podcast or grow in the speaking.
Anybody can hustle, but I think hustle can oftentimes
be really, really short-term.
And that doesn't make it bad,
but it often doesn't have a long-term focus.
And so when I think of the difference in hustle
and tenacity, to me, hustle is very spurt-driven.
It's very short-term.
And tenacity is this idea that, you know,
I have a longer view of my life and being tenacious
and being resilient in this situation is more
about the journey and learning than it is about object,
necessarily trying to achieve or master a set goal
or revenue target.
I like that.
So hustle would be like, as a culture,
would kind of be like a sprint culture, you know,
or it's, you know, I don't see it as being something
that's too sustainable or healthy to sustain long-term
unless you're in an environment, you know,
if that's one of the things I love about Gary Vaynerchuk
is his audience that he's talking to are people
who need to escape the hood, right?
They're people who are escaping, you know,
that they're immigrants too, like he was,
who don't have a silver spoon in their mouth, you know,
and they've got a long journey ahead of them.
And the longer we wait in those circumstances
to make moves and to make changes in our life,
the harder it's going, the less likely it becomes
to get to a position in life where you don't have
to do that anymore.
To me, that's where like this hustle and grind thing,
there's some discord, not harmony,
between hustle, grind, and diligence and tenacity,
which can be exercised, which should, for me,
diligence and tenacity should be exercised every day,
are the virtues that will build my life,
not over exertions that will cause me to burn out.
