1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,140
Did you get the questions in advance?

2
00:00:02,140 --> 00:00:02,980
Some people don't.

3
00:00:02,980 --> 00:00:05,580
I mean, we live in a busy world where podcasting,

4
00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:07,660
you know, like we've got, I mean, I do several per week.

5
00:00:07,660 --> 00:00:10,580
So sometimes I don't see the notes before my shows

6
00:00:10,580 --> 00:00:13,220
and what's there and it's time to just dive in

7
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:14,300
and wing it.

8
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:16,180
Other times I'm grateful for,

9
00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:18,060
like if they're asking super profound questions,

10
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:20,220
like what's the best moment of your entire life?

11
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:23,300
All right, so now I want some time to think about that one.

12
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:26,020
But did you get a chance to see ours in advance?

13
00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:29,980
I did, man, and I got some notes here to kind of guide

14
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:31,260
the conversation and such too,

15
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:33,460
but I'm ready to take on anything you throw at me.

16
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:34,300
So I'm ready to rock.

17
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:35,120
I love that.

18
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,420
I love the leadership.

19
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:39,540
A lot of people want to poke fun and be like,

20
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:40,940
oh, he's got notes, you know,

21
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:42,580
he doesn't know what he's talking about,

22
00:00:42,580 --> 00:00:43,940
doesn't know which direction they're going.

23
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:46,020
And that is bogus.

24
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:48,540
People who are, especially,

25
00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:50,380
it depends on the question, right?

26
00:00:50,380 --> 00:00:52,540
You know, if we're on Jeopardy, we don't, you know,

27
00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:53,380
we shouldn't have notes

28
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:55,120
and looking at the bottom of our sneaker.

29
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,600
But when I'm asking questions,

30
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,960
like profound, deep leadership questions

31
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,780
about your worst leadership experience you've ever had

32
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:05,460
and the best leadership,

33
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:08,580
like that's something that I'm really grateful

34
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:11,220
when the leaders don't try to wing that.

35
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:13,460
They actually take the time to prepare.

36
00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:15,140
The audience can tell, you know,

37
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:17,300
when somebody's like, oh, oh, let me,

38
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:19,020
like, should it be mine or should it be somebody?

39
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:21,060
And it's like, well, now we know you're not gonna give

40
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:22,220
the best or the worst.

41
00:01:22,220 --> 00:01:25,140
You just admitted you weren't ready for this question.

42
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:28,580
So, how many podcasts have you done?

43
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:33,380
Oh man, I wanna say maybe a couple dozen in my time.

44
00:01:33,380 --> 00:01:35,260
So, not a lot, but not a little.

45
00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:36,100
You know, I've been to a dozen.

46
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:37,220
I think I'm at the same level.

47
00:01:37,220 --> 00:01:38,260
I don't think I've done more than that.

48
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:40,300
I might've done one dozen, actually.

49
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:41,900
Yeah, yeah, for sure, dude.

50
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,500
I host, but going on others is a different story.

51
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,020
So. Oh, I see, I see what you're saying.

52
00:01:46,020 --> 00:01:47,060
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

53
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:48,500
Yeah, yeah, so no, hosting is different

54
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:51,220
than being put in the hot seat, you know, and going out.

55
00:01:51,220 --> 00:01:53,700
And we didn't, I didn't start actively pursuing that

56
00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:56,180
until January of this year.

57
00:01:56,180 --> 00:01:59,120
So, even though I've been involved in the podcast space

58
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,620
and behind the scenes on interviews for quite some time,

59
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:06,620
the, I knew that I owed it to the audiences

60
00:02:06,620 --> 00:02:09,300
that I would be talking to, to have a system

61
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:13,020
and a process that was scalable enough to be able to serve.

62
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:16,500
And I wasn't gonna rock the mic and leave people hopeless

63
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:18,340
by, you know, what, signing one person

64
00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:20,260
and leaving everybody else out to try it.

65
00:02:20,260 --> 00:02:23,180
Just, I'm not, I'm not a big fan of that.

66
00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:24,980
So, we got, we got visions though.

67
00:02:24,980 --> 00:02:26,180
Today's all about visions.

68
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:28,120
It's not necessarily about what is built today,

69
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,300
but what's coming.

70
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,540
And that's the purpose of this show.

71
00:02:31,540 --> 00:02:34,380
And you've got a vision related to health and wellness,

72
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:37,740
a holistic fitness, nutrition and recovery.

73
00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:39,120
I'm a huge fan of the word.

74
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,540
Some people would say buzzword.

75
00:02:40,540 --> 00:02:43,340
I would say a word that is coming to life.

76
00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:46,960
One that people are starting to appreciate and embrace.

77
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,780
What is holistic fitness, nutrition and recovery?

78
00:02:50,780 --> 00:02:52,660
What does that mean to you?

79
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:54,860
Man, that's a great question.

80
00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:56,620
You know, wellness in our terms

81
00:02:56,620 --> 00:03:00,520
and how we define it here at Tricor is living your best life

82
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,420
optimally without limitations.

83
00:03:02,420 --> 00:03:05,760
So, you know, whether you are trying to lose body fat

84
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,780
or improve your athletic performance

85
00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:10,500
or improve your cognitive performance,

86
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:13,220
or your doctor said that your blood work looks like trash

87
00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:14,780
and you need to improve that.

88
00:03:14,780 --> 00:03:16,620
You know, everyone has a personal goal

89
00:03:16,620 --> 00:03:20,220
and our philosophy too is using principles of health,

90
00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:22,940
particularly periodization and looking at, you know,

91
00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:25,740
years of life, like every year is a new periodization block.

92
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:28,940
You know, myself personally, we're about to have a baby

93
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:29,780
here in the next couple of weeks.

94
00:03:29,780 --> 00:03:31,320
Congratulations!

95
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,100
Yeah, thank you.

96
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:34,660
Baby number one?

97
00:03:34,660 --> 00:03:36,060
Baby number one is a boy.

98
00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:37,380
We're super pumped, dude.

99
00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:38,740
Yeah, yeah.

100
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:40,580
Enjoy your sleep.

101
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:41,740
That's what everybody's saying.

102
00:03:41,740 --> 00:03:42,580
That's what everybody's saying.

103
00:03:42,580 --> 00:03:44,700
But like, hey, that's gonna be a new lifestyle

104
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:45,780
periodization block.

105
00:03:45,780 --> 00:03:47,860
I'm gonna have to manage my health and wellness

106
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:49,980
completely differently than what I'm doing now.

107
00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:52,780
So, you know, that's kind of how we define it.

108
00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:55,740
And that's been really a, that level of awareness

109
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:57,880
has really driven myself personally

110
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,060
and what we've done here at TriQuilt too.

111
00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:01,460
Dude, I love that.

112
00:04:01,460 --> 00:04:04,060
It's amazing you have the maturity to see ahead.

113
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:09,060
It might have to do with the fact that I was 21 or 22

114
00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:11,820
when I became a dad, but yeah,

115
00:04:11,820 --> 00:04:14,100
it's a completely different lifestyle shift.

116
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:18,380
And having that flexibility to know,

117
00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:19,860
and the wisdom too, to think through like,

118
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:22,420
okay, what changes can I make here?

119
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:25,300
Can make that process more enjoyable.

120
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:28,260
Maybe not even easier, but more enjoyable

121
00:04:28,260 --> 00:04:29,660
and more predictable.

122
00:04:29,660 --> 00:04:31,660
So that's awesome.

123
00:04:31,660 --> 00:04:33,600
And I love that you talk about,

124
00:04:35,380 --> 00:04:37,780
you reminded me of a billboard I saw in Florida

125
00:04:37,780 --> 00:04:40,660
back in like, I think it was 2010, 2011 when I saw it.

126
00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:42,140
And it made such a big impression.

127
00:04:42,140 --> 00:04:46,260
It said, most banks have tellers.

128
00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:48,220
We have listeners.

129
00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:49,660
Oh, that's good.

130
00:04:49,660 --> 00:04:50,500
Oh, I loved it.

131
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:51,940
I love it, yeah.

132
00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:54,180
Man, that's what I heard you say too,

133
00:04:54,180 --> 00:04:56,980
as you talked about this holistic process of fitness,

134
00:04:56,980 --> 00:05:01,660
that if we as leaders actually listen to what people want

135
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:03,740
and what they need and what their goals are,

136
00:05:03,740 --> 00:05:06,620
then we can create a path for those individuals

137
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:09,780
rather than just putting everybody in a cookie cutter box,

138
00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:13,180
or trying to, I don't know, just,

139
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:15,200
you talked about some depth of listening

140
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,160
that a lot of practitioners

141
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,260
are starting to gravitate towards.

142
00:05:19,260 --> 00:05:23,780
And again, I think that's a fantastic path

143
00:05:23,780 --> 00:05:26,980
for America's health and health worldwide.

144
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:28,700
So make sure being one of the people

145
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:30,820
who leads that initiative.

146
00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:34,740
The visionaries and founders that are listening in,

147
00:05:34,740 --> 00:05:36,780
the leaders who are with us today,

148
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:38,900
we're always interested in resources, right?

149
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:40,420
What did you do to get to where you are?

150
00:05:40,420 --> 00:05:43,020
What things have helped you understand life?

151
00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:45,620
So to the degree you understand it,

152
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:48,840
what are three resources that we could all benefit from?

153
00:05:50,060 --> 00:05:52,300
Oh man, let's unpack this.

154
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:56,700
Number one is the book, Atomic Habits by James Clear,

155
00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:00,620
phenomenal for health, phenomenal for business, right?

156
00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:02,820
I can't tell you how many times I have it stacked

157
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:04,860
in just like my daily routine.

158
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:07,860
So therefore I can be as productive as I can in business

159
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:09,260
every single day.

160
00:06:09,260 --> 00:06:12,060
I just got out of a consultation with a new client

161
00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:14,060
we're onboarding right now,

162
00:06:14,060 --> 00:06:16,540
brought the book up in that conversation too, man.

163
00:06:16,540 --> 00:06:17,380
So-

164
00:06:17,380 --> 00:06:19,260
And yesterday my guest, Andrea Johnson,

165
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:22,020
one of her three was Atomic Habits, go James Clear.

166
00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:22,860
It's a killer, man.

167
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:23,700
If you haven't read it,

168
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:25,940
go watch the TED talk or the YouTube video

169
00:06:25,940 --> 00:06:27,740
and then go read it too or listen to it.

170
00:06:27,740 --> 00:06:29,660
Yeah, I'm an audio book guy.

171
00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:32,980
So I just, I crank on audio whenever I can.

172
00:06:32,980 --> 00:06:34,620
Resource number two that, you know,

173
00:06:34,620 --> 00:06:37,400
in my earlier days of business was the 10X rule

174
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,100
by Grant Cardone.

175
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:41,820
Man, that motivated me and got me to think differently

176
00:06:41,820 --> 00:06:45,020
about massive action and having an omnipresence

177
00:06:45,020 --> 00:06:48,560
and, you know, doing things to get out there in the world

178
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,240
and outworking your components

179
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,260
or your competitors essentially and stuff.

180
00:06:52,260 --> 00:06:55,420
And, you know, that was a huge shift for me mentally

181
00:06:55,420 --> 00:06:57,140
was 10X rule.

182
00:06:57,940 --> 00:07:02,300
Third one is the podcast, The Game by Alex Hermosi.

183
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:05,460
Man, I've listened to that for a long time

184
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:07,420
and I love where he's going now.

185
00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:09,940
I continually look back and listen back

186
00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:11,860
on some of his earlier stuff too.

187
00:07:11,860 --> 00:07:14,060
The talks about when he was still at GymLaunch

188
00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:15,780
and some of the earlier fitness days,

189
00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:18,700
transitioning into what he's doing now.

190
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:22,020
But gold, I mean, those three things there

191
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:25,220
have catapulted my mindset, my business,

192
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:26,940
you know, got me to think differently,

193
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:29,820
you know, have had me to make some pivots

194
00:07:29,820 --> 00:07:32,560
and have some self-reflection on, you know,

195
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,180
not chasing shiny objects and staying in my lane

196
00:07:35,180 --> 00:07:38,500
and really it's gotten us to a place of growth and success.

197
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:41,980
So I'd say those three, take a look everybody,

198
00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:42,980
take a look, yeah.

199
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:43,820
Dude, I love it.

200
00:07:43,820 --> 00:07:46,820
I'm gonna honor Alex Hermosi

201
00:07:46,820 --> 00:07:49,480
and we'll see what I do with the other one in just a minute.

202
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,660
But Alex Hermosi, yeah, I read that $100 million offer.

203
00:07:53,660 --> 00:07:54,540
Well, I listened to it.

204
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:58,420
I was heading from Cacherville to Kirk, to Kerrville.

205
00:07:58,420 --> 00:08:00,060
I was able to listen to the whole thing, right?

206
00:08:00,060 --> 00:08:02,220
And that one trip pretty much.

207
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:05,800
And man, that guy, his breakdown of offers

208
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,300
and the grand slam offers

209
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:09,140
and why we do it as entrepreneurs

210
00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:11,020
and we're on midway through the book

211
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:13,220
and he starts talking about Lloyd

212
00:08:13,220 --> 00:08:14,860
from the newspaper industry.

213
00:08:14,860 --> 00:08:17,420
And that was my first startup.

214
00:08:17,420 --> 00:08:20,540
I was the first sales rep hired for that startup.

215
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:22,940
So I was like, that's crazy.

216
00:08:22,940 --> 00:08:24,460
This is weird.

217
00:08:24,460 --> 00:08:26,540
And he told that story in a way

218
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:28,820
that was interesting to me.

219
00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:31,020
I look forward to talking to Alex someday about that

220
00:08:31,020 --> 00:08:32,620
and seeing like, wait a second,

221
00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:35,140
because we have two different versions of Lloyd

222
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:36,680
and why Lloyd is doing what he was doing.

223
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:40,580
But the principles that he leads with and speaks with,

224
00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:43,540
his guys, if you look up his YouTube,

225
00:08:43,540 --> 00:08:45,660
took him on YouTube and like, I don't know,

226
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:48,660
how Alex scales, you'll probably find this 45 minute thing.

227
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:51,340
And I found it like 1.30 in the morning on accident.

228
00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:54,220
I was like, oh no, not 1.30 in the morning.

229
00:08:54,220 --> 00:08:56,580
Not, I was like, I'll listen to two minutes.

230
00:08:56,580 --> 00:08:59,420
I listened to the whole thing.

231
00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:03,100
And man, he is just so open and transparent

232
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:04,060
about what he's doing.

233
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:07,260
And he launched his podcast very similar to how we did,

234
00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:09,980
just like, no, we're going, we're gonna do this 10 years.

235
00:09:09,980 --> 00:09:11,340
We're gonna do everything we can to make it awesome.

236
00:09:11,340 --> 00:09:12,260
And we'll go from there.

237
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:17,060
So he is very good at doing the hard work,

238
00:09:17,060 --> 00:09:19,140
talking honestly about things.

239
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:20,700
And I would say in that regard,

240
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:23,620
the complete opposite of Grant Cardone.

241
00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:26,580
And so while he is very good at coercing

242
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:28,380
and manipulating and pressuring

243
00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:31,900
and using scarcity and urgency

244
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:34,940
to trick anybody in to do anything.

245
00:09:34,940 --> 00:09:38,460
I used to be a lot like Grant Cardone.

246
00:09:39,660 --> 00:09:43,260
I used to control people's visions and create sheeple.

247
00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:46,460
And my caution to anybody out there is,

248
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:48,460
can you learn lessons from him?

249
00:09:48,460 --> 00:09:49,580
Yes, of course you can.

250
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:53,700
And I was grateful when Eli Wilde,

251
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:55,420
he was talking about posturing.

252
00:09:55,420 --> 00:09:57,540
Another great lesson for everybody in here.

253
00:09:57,540 --> 00:10:01,300
This changed the way I show up and speak to people.

254
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:02,740
Talked about how we can speak

255
00:10:02,740 --> 00:10:04,940
from a position of superiority.

256
00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:07,420
We can speak from a position of being equal.

257
00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:09,820
And we can speak from a position of inferiority,

258
00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:11,140
where we're lesser than.

259
00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:13,700
And he's a people like Grant Cardone,

260
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:17,220
who speak at you and tell you what to do

261
00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:20,380
and are constantly speaking in that superior voice.

262
00:10:20,380 --> 00:10:22,620
They only attract people

263
00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:25,580
who are willing to be subordinate to them.

264
00:10:25,580 --> 00:10:28,700
And man, I was already on a shift to say,

265
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:31,220
you know what, I want better healthy relationships in that.

266
00:10:31,220 --> 00:10:33,340
So does he teach great principles?

267
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:35,180
I do believe he teaches great principles.

268
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:39,060
And that's the value of one last resource, my friends.

269
00:10:39,060 --> 00:10:43,580
I love this book, As a Man Thinketh,

270
00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:46,140
where James Allen long before the internet

271
00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:48,860
in 1830 or 1820 something,

272
00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:54,860
taught us that all success comes from principles of virtue.

273
00:10:55,860 --> 00:10:58,460
And when we can learn to recognize the virtues

274
00:10:58,460 --> 00:11:01,860
within the people that are achieving success,

275
00:11:01,860 --> 00:11:03,980
whether it's in their family or in business,

276
00:11:03,980 --> 00:11:05,980
and apply the virtues to our lives,

277
00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:07,380
then we can win at greater degrees.

278
00:11:07,380 --> 00:11:10,500
So actually, I love Grant Cardone as a human being.

279
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:12,820
I absolutely despise the way he leads.

280
00:11:12,820 --> 00:11:17,820
And I hope that he makes a pivot and a shift as well,

281
00:11:17,820 --> 00:11:19,900
to honor those that he serves,

282
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:22,580
because he is a great mathematician, right?

283
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:23,620
He's a great professor.

284
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:26,780
He's a great teacher of how things can work.

285
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:31,780
But I hope one day he responds to this,

286
00:11:32,060 --> 00:11:35,220
and owns it, or maybe he'll just be like,

287
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:36,060
what does that guy know?

288
00:11:36,060 --> 00:11:37,820
He's only got such and such followers

289
00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:40,940
and just solidify my point a little bit further.

290
00:11:40,940 --> 00:11:43,900
But no, thank you for bringing up the resource.

291
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:45,980
And again, Atomic Habits,

292
00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:49,140
the gain phenomenal, what Grant Cardone is giving

293
00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:52,420
can be phenomenal, but keep your own visions intact too,

294
00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:55,020
my friends, trust your gut instincts,

295
00:11:55,020 --> 00:11:56,540
your heart and your mind.

296
00:11:56,540 --> 00:12:00,860
You are visionaries capable of building amazing things.

297
00:12:00,860 --> 00:12:03,020
And we're gonna come right back after these messages.

298
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:06,620
We're gonna talk about what Chris Edwards has built

299
00:12:06,620 --> 00:12:08,380
with Tricor Wellness.

300
00:12:08,380 --> 00:12:10,220
And now he's on a mission to help people

301
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:11,940
with fitness, nutrition, and recovery.

302
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:13,660
And we're all gonna learn from this process.

303
00:12:13,660 --> 00:12:16,620
So we'll see you guys on the other side.

304
00:12:16,620 --> 00:12:19,900
All right, welcome in to Vision Pros Live.

305
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:21,940
With Jackson Callum, I'm your show host.

306
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:24,580
We'll be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs

307
00:12:24,580 --> 00:12:26,500
and guest leaders who are building

308
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,180
fantastic visions out there.

309
00:12:28,180 --> 00:12:31,180
Hey, what's up everybody?

310
00:12:31,180 --> 00:12:33,460
Welcome into another episode of Vision Pros Live.

311
00:12:33,460 --> 00:12:35,020
I'm your show host, Jackson Callum,

312
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:37,060
founder and CEO of FDL.

313
00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:38,940
And I'm your host, Chris Edwards.

314
00:12:38,940 --> 00:12:40,780
And I'm your host, Chris Edwards.

315
00:12:40,780 --> 00:12:42,580
And I'm your host, Chris Edwards.

316
00:12:42,580 --> 00:12:44,620
Founder and CEO of First Class Business.

317
00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:47,580
And I'm excited to have Chris Edwards with me today.

318
00:12:47,580 --> 00:12:50,100
It's fun to have visionaries who, you know,

319
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:51,420
are at the entrepreneurial vein,

320
00:12:51,420 --> 00:12:54,500
but are also really big into health and wellness.

321
00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:57,860
It's like an oxymoron for most entrepreneurs

322
00:12:57,860 --> 00:13:00,060
to care about health and to also

323
00:13:00,060 --> 00:13:01,380
care about growth in business.

324
00:13:01,380 --> 00:13:03,460
And he's one of those superstars

325
00:13:03,460 --> 00:13:07,220
who's working on leading in both of those categories.

326
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:12,220
Nice guy, Peyton, who did the first interview with Chris.

327
00:13:12,220 --> 00:13:13,780
You guys may have seen that already.

328
00:13:13,780 --> 00:13:15,060
If not, check that out.

329
00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:16,900
I mean, I absolutely loved who he is.

330
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:20,500
And Peyton also is somebody who I really value

331
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:21,540
his judge of character.

332
00:13:21,540 --> 00:13:24,020
So we're gonna dive in as deeply as we can

333
00:13:24,020 --> 00:13:25,700
into what Chris is building.

334
00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:27,260
We're also gonna have a discussion

335
00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:28,940
about fitness and nutrition and recovery.

336
00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:31,220
And we're open to you guys participating as well.

337
00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:32,580
Any questions you wanna throw away,

338
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:34,940
any resources you want us to take a look at.

339
00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:36,940
We do take all comments to heart.

340
00:13:36,940 --> 00:13:40,700
And it would be awesome to see what other

341
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:43,500
fitness professionals and health gurus out there

342
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,140
wanna chime into this type of conversation.

343
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:46,860
Maybe we'll even do a panel someday.

344
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:48,340
We're gathering enough leaders

345
00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:49,900
in this space to potentially do that.

346
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:50,980
So if you want that as well,

347
00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:53,580
if you'd love to see a panel of health experts,

348
00:13:53,580 --> 00:13:55,100
go at it and debate.

349
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,980
I am that type of guy who likes to create the debate,

350
00:13:57,980 --> 00:14:02,300
not some frou-frou panel of venture capitalists

351
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:03,300
who all agree with each other.

352
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:04,140
That's bull crap.

353
00:14:04,140 --> 00:14:05,580
We need the real stuff.

354
00:14:05,580 --> 00:14:07,980
So moving forward, sponsors.

355
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:10,140
Dave Morrow, speaking of health guru

356
00:14:10,140 --> 00:14:11,740
of the Hard to Kill podcast.

357
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:13,780
I'm looking forward to getting Chris in touch with him.

358
00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:16,820
Hardtokill.org is helping 100,000 veterans

359
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:19,100
lose two million pounds collectively.

360
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,580
And Dave just launched a brand new community,

361
00:14:21,580 --> 00:14:24,740
the Hard to Kill community that is open access

362
00:14:24,740 --> 00:14:27,380
for anybody who respects military principles,

363
00:14:27,380 --> 00:14:29,540
such as civilians like myself to benefit from.

364
00:14:29,540 --> 00:14:31,500
So I've been in there working on my health.

365
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,020
I'm up to 100 pushups per day

366
00:14:33,020 --> 00:14:35,660
and my back feels better than it's felt

367
00:14:35,660 --> 00:14:39,500
since the year after my surgery, like eight years now.

368
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:41,340
And so I give him a lot of credit for that,

369
00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:42,180
for his motivation.

370
00:14:42,180 --> 00:14:44,460
He's got one of the best podcasts out there

371
00:14:44,460 --> 00:14:45,980
for military personnel.

372
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:48,020
And he's just a great guy to get to know,

373
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:50,060
which is why we joined forces with him.

374
00:14:50,060 --> 00:14:52,220
Now there's also, I wanna move fast

375
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:54,100
to opportunities for Latinos.

376
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:55,060
I'll keep it short today.

377
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:56,300
You can listen to the last episode

378
00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:57,900
if you wanna hear all about the program.

379
00:14:57,900 --> 00:15:00,620
But our ultimate vision is to bridge the economic gap

380
00:15:00,620 --> 00:15:04,180
between the United States, rather North America,

381
00:15:04,180 --> 00:15:06,180
South America and rest of world.

382
00:15:06,180 --> 00:15:07,940
And this is our free job training program

383
00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:09,740
where we help virtual assistants

384
00:15:09,740 --> 00:15:11,580
learn how to be awesome at what they do.

385
00:15:11,580 --> 00:15:16,180
And we connect Latinos to our podcasts

386
00:15:16,180 --> 00:15:17,820
so that they can come on and share their story

387
00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:19,660
and inspire other Latinos

388
00:15:19,660 --> 00:15:22,620
to see that there's opportunity out there.

389
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:24,260
A lot of these individuals,

390
00:15:24,260 --> 00:15:26,340
they don't even know that LinkedIn exists

391
00:15:26,340 --> 00:15:28,020
or Canva or Upwork or Fiverr.

392
00:15:28,020 --> 00:15:29,060
Can you imagine that?

393
00:15:29,060 --> 00:15:33,340
If you in 2024 did not know that those resources existed,

394
00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:35,620
we have so much impact that we can do for good here.

395
00:15:35,620 --> 00:15:37,500
So if you are interested in helping us

396
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:40,980
on that initiative, definitely reach out and contact us.

397
00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:42,580
Then there's the water project.

398
00:15:44,180 --> 00:15:46,740
I am a little bit thirsty right now.

399
00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:49,780
I did some yard work right before coming up for the podcast

400
00:15:49,780 --> 00:15:53,300
and I have never truly been thirsty in my life.

401
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,260
So when I found out about this initiative

402
00:15:55,260 --> 00:15:56,660
and found out there's millions of people

403
00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:59,380
who do not have access to clean drinking water,

404
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:01,420
I just chose not to forget about it.

405
00:16:01,420 --> 00:16:03,300
I chose to start thinking about it more and more often.

406
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:04,120
I contributed to it.

407
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,820
I saw that when you give even just $5

408
00:16:06,820 --> 00:16:08,220
to one of these campaigns,

409
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:09,900
they run it kind of like Kickstarter.

410
00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:11,380
They actually send you the proof

411
00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:13,380
that the initiative got completed.

412
00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:15,260
You get to see the borehole well or the sand dam.

413
00:16:15,260 --> 00:16:17,000
You get to see how the community comes together

414
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,140
to help with the process of building it.

415
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:21,620
And then I highly recommend taking some time

416
00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:23,380
to meditate and think through

417
00:16:23,380 --> 00:16:26,580
what type of generational impact that you just make

418
00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:29,780
by helping that water well come to fruition.

419
00:16:29,780 --> 00:16:31,700
These kids, they celebrate water

420
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:33,820
like my kids celebrate Christmas day.

421
00:16:33,820 --> 00:16:36,140
So on a day like 9-11, where our thoughts and prayers

422
00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:37,660
are with those who lost loved ones,

423
00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:41,620
and there's a lot of causes and awareness

424
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:42,540
to seek out there.

425
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:44,420
I hope that if you're in a position

426
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:46,920
to give to this financially, then please do so.

427
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,540
And if you're not, then please share this with a friend

428
00:16:49,540 --> 00:16:52,220
because you never know who will donate what

429
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:53,620
and how they can help.

430
00:16:53,620 --> 00:16:56,560
And we got 8 billion people to help in this world.

431
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,100
So my hope is that we all step up to do a little bit more

432
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:02,180
and experience the joy of giving back.

433
00:17:02,180 --> 00:17:04,540
Without further ado, Chris Edwards,

434
00:17:04,540 --> 00:17:06,220
welcome to Vision Pros Live.

435
00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:08,180
What's going on, Jackson?

436
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:09,340
How you doing, sir?

437
00:17:09,340 --> 00:17:10,940
Dude, I'm happy to be here.

438
00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:13,740
I'm happy to dive in and talk fitness, nutrition,

439
00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:16,060
and recovery and finally not be the skinny fat guy

440
00:17:16,060 --> 00:17:16,940
in the conversation.

441
00:17:16,940 --> 00:17:17,780
So.

442
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:18,600
Oh man.

443
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,340
I'm pumped about this.

444
00:17:20,340 --> 00:17:22,600
I appreciate the opportunity for coming on, man.

445
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,460
And I'm ready to dive in when you are.

446
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:25,660
Let's do this thing.

447
00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:26,500
Absolutely.

448
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:31,500
So let's talk about your vision for those that you serve.

449
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:34,060
You know, and I'm gonna tee up a little bit more with that.

450
00:17:34,060 --> 00:17:37,180
Let me just go back to the term that I saw you use for us.

451
00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:40,700
You talked about how you've got a program,

452
00:17:40,700 --> 00:17:43,380
integrative coaching model,

453
00:17:43,380 --> 00:17:48,260
and that combining the in-person health experience

454
00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:53,260
with the virtual and an app-based coaching tool resource

455
00:17:53,860 --> 00:17:55,900
as well, right?

456
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:56,900
Talk to me about that model.

457
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:57,740
What does that mean to you

458
00:17:57,740 --> 00:18:00,420
and why is that beneficial for us?

459
00:18:00,420 --> 00:18:03,860
Yeah, the integrative coaching model was really something

460
00:18:03,860 --> 00:18:07,060
that we wanted to make sure that the clients

461
00:18:07,060 --> 00:18:10,820
that we worked with for our health coaching clients

462
00:18:10,820 --> 00:18:14,800
had access to professional coaching, health data,

463
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,120
and information and services no matter where they are.

464
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,280
And I'll give some examples.

465
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,340
So that way the audience can relate to this, you know,

466
00:18:24,340 --> 00:18:26,660
and why we have leaned so hard

467
00:18:26,660 --> 00:18:29,580
into having three different delivery mechanisms

468
00:18:29,580 --> 00:18:31,380
to be able to support fitness, nutrition,

469
00:18:31,380 --> 00:18:33,300
and recovery coaching services.

470
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:34,540
Down here in Southwest Florida,

471
00:18:34,540 --> 00:18:37,220
we're in the Vanita Springs, Fort Myers, Naples area.

472
00:18:37,220 --> 00:18:39,020
It's extremely seasonal, right?

473
00:18:39,020 --> 00:18:41,700
We have snowbirds that come down from October to May.

474
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:44,300
After that point, they leave, they go back up north,

475
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:47,280
Ohio, Michigan, you know, wherever they are up north, right?

476
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,660
And to be able to generate reoccurring revenue

477
00:18:49,660 --> 00:18:51,420
as a fitness professional down here

478
00:18:51,420 --> 00:18:53,760
in a very seasonal location,

479
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,700
you have to meet people where they're at.

480
00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:57,820
And if they leave for six months of the year,

481
00:18:57,820 --> 00:19:00,380
your revenue traditionally would drop

482
00:19:00,380 --> 00:19:02,380
for six months of the year, okay?

483
00:19:02,380 --> 00:19:03,860
So right then and there,

484
00:19:03,860 --> 00:19:05,420
and we'll talk about like my story

485
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:07,300
and my pains and stuff too,

486
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:09,980
this is an immediate solve for my pains

487
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:13,180
to be able to have virtual and app-based experiences,

488
00:19:13,180 --> 00:19:16,180
particularly a membership model with an app-based experience

489
00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:18,180
to keep my revenue going year round,

490
00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:21,840
but at the same time, keeping in touch with our clients

491
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,340
so they could have the correct coaching services

492
00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:27,100
and information they need to stay on track.

493
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:28,220
You know, part of that reason

494
00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:30,420
why we developed this model too,

495
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:32,820
was we saw every single year,

496
00:19:32,820 --> 00:19:34,820
and as we know in the health and wellness world,

497
00:19:34,820 --> 00:19:38,100
having some cycles in making some health improvements

498
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:39,380
at six months of the year,

499
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:41,220
and then actually going backwards

500
00:19:41,220 --> 00:19:43,900
and regaining body fat, not good, okay?

501
00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:46,420
And having issues in blood pressure and blood sugar

502
00:19:46,420 --> 00:19:48,680
on a cyclical year-by-year basis,

503
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,000
not good long-term for health and longevity.

504
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,100
So not only was this model helping people,

505
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:56,420
this was also helping the professionals

506
00:19:56,420 --> 00:19:58,300
that are serving the people

507
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:00,460
that are a part of trichorol wellness.

508
00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:02,700
Absolutely, and here's the reality.

509
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:07,500
If we don't help the health and wellness professionals,

510
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,620
if they don't have something sustainable,

511
00:20:09,620 --> 00:20:11,980
they can't provide nearly as effective service

512
00:20:11,980 --> 00:20:13,240
to those that they're trying to help.

513
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,860
You've got to put your oxygen mask on

514
00:20:15,860 --> 00:20:16,820
in order to help others.

515
00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:18,700
And one industry that,

516
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:20,460
there's a lot of industries that relate to this,

517
00:20:20,460 --> 00:20:22,180
but one in particular that comes to mind

518
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:24,300
is the ski resort industry, right?

519
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:27,340
That's a very seasonal reality,

520
00:20:27,340 --> 00:20:29,620
and it's an important opportunity

521
00:20:29,620 --> 00:20:32,860
to think through diversification, right?

522
00:20:32,860 --> 00:20:36,260
And knowing, all right, well, how do I either diversify

523
00:20:36,260 --> 00:20:38,140
the services that I'm offering,

524
00:20:38,140 --> 00:20:40,380
or as you've talked about,

525
00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:43,900
just diversifying the abilities of how you offer it

526
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:45,060
and where you offer it.

527
00:20:45,060 --> 00:20:48,740
So it's an important model that's beneficial to everybody,

528
00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:52,640
and the abundant mindset knows that

529
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,140
the more I give, the more I get.

530
00:20:55,140 --> 00:20:56,620
So I know I'm kind of reaching

531
00:20:56,620 --> 00:20:58,660
by tying that without knowing where you're going with this

532
00:20:58,660 --> 00:20:59,500
and how it works.

533
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:04,500
But talk to me about the idea,

534
00:21:04,740 --> 00:21:06,620
like where are you headed with this vision

535
00:21:06,620 --> 00:21:08,820
and how are you guys gonna help more people?

536
00:21:08,820 --> 00:21:10,980
Do you have the app developed?

537
00:21:10,980 --> 00:21:12,120
I didn't see the app yet.

538
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:15,220
So talk to me about where you guys are at with it.

539
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:17,780
Yeah, I think, if you don't mind,

540
00:21:17,780 --> 00:21:20,540
I think the vision is gonna lead right into my story

541
00:21:20,540 --> 00:21:22,600
and my pains, my personal pains,

542
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,780
so you can kind of like come along on this journey,

543
00:21:24,780 --> 00:21:25,620
if you don't mind.

544
00:21:25,620 --> 00:21:30,620
So in 2008, at that time of the early 2000s

545
00:21:31,060 --> 00:21:33,700
when the market crashed, I graduated college, right?

546
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,260
And so I got out with a business degree,

547
00:21:36,260 --> 00:21:39,820
and in college, I ended up being the head personal trainer,

548
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:41,460
the power lifting club president,

549
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:43,180
we took the team to nationals,

550
00:21:43,180 --> 00:21:45,540
I dove right into fitness certifications

551
00:21:45,540 --> 00:21:47,020
and scientific knowledge,

552
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:49,020
plus my business degree in business management

553
00:21:49,020 --> 00:21:50,900
with a concentration in sports management.

554
00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:54,260
And down here again in Southwest Florida Naples,

555
00:21:54,260 --> 00:21:55,780
the economy wasn't hit as hard.

556
00:21:55,780 --> 00:21:58,740
So I took that fitness and business experience

557
00:21:58,740 --> 00:22:00,140
and got into personal training.

558
00:22:00,140 --> 00:22:02,860
Dude, I was, hold on, I just gotta say how bright I was.

559
00:22:02,860 --> 00:22:05,900
I had no idea about that background,

560
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,980
and here I am like, well, he's a business and a health guy,

561
00:22:07,980 --> 00:22:10,580
like you legitimately are, that's weird.

562
00:22:10,580 --> 00:22:11,420
Yeah, dude.

563
00:22:11,420 --> 00:22:12,340
You got good vision.

564
00:22:12,340 --> 00:22:13,860
You got good vision, Jackson.

565
00:22:13,860 --> 00:22:14,700
Yeah.

566
00:22:16,260 --> 00:22:18,580
Oh man, I don't know, I put him away for right now,

567
00:22:18,580 --> 00:22:19,420
they're over here.

568
00:22:19,420 --> 00:22:22,360
But no, man, so, you know,

569
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:24,340
that's what really got me into the industry.

570
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:26,180
And I got into private personal training

571
00:22:26,180 --> 00:22:29,440
in a private studio, starting building a book of clients.

572
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,940
And, you know, they were having very limited results, right?

573
00:22:32,940 --> 00:22:34,980
I was giving them a one delivery method

574
00:22:34,980 --> 00:22:36,700
at the time in person,

575
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:39,220
and I was only giving them one dimension of wellness,

576
00:22:39,220 --> 00:22:41,220
which was fitness, right?

577
00:22:41,220 --> 00:22:42,340
But they come in every week,

578
00:22:42,340 --> 00:22:44,060
oh, I got, you know, drink too much wine,

579
00:22:44,060 --> 00:22:46,440
eat too much spaghetti, you know, their body weight.

580
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,300
And at the time, you know,

581
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:50,620
their fat mass was up and such too.

582
00:22:50,620 --> 00:22:52,500
So I was like, man, this is BS.

583
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:54,740
I'm not really giving them what they need.

584
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:57,860
I'm not providing them a holistic approach to wellness

585
00:22:57,860 --> 00:23:00,540
because, and also, like, I couldn't keep in touch with them

586
00:23:00,540 --> 00:23:02,580
to hold them accountable on the times

587
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:05,180
that I did not see them two or three times a week, right?

588
00:23:05,180 --> 00:23:09,060
So as I built out and basically stacked my book of business,

589
00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:11,140
you know, Monday through Saturday, all day,

590
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:14,020
a couple clients even on Sunday mornings and such too,

591
00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:16,500
I also had that pain in my income

592
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:19,060
where if I took a vacation or I took time off,

593
00:23:19,060 --> 00:23:20,620
I lost all that business.

594
00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:23,420
And at the same time too, it wasn't year round

595
00:23:23,420 --> 00:23:25,260
because we talked about the seasonality component

596
00:23:25,260 --> 00:23:26,220
of being down here too.

597
00:23:26,220 --> 00:23:29,620
So right away, I had to solve problems for my clients,

598
00:23:29,620 --> 00:23:31,620
help more people, make more money,

599
00:23:31,620 --> 00:23:34,340
develop a model that was gonna be sustainable year round.

600
00:23:34,340 --> 00:23:36,540
And that's really where the pain came from

601
00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:39,580
into developing this integrated coaching model right away.

602
00:23:39,580 --> 00:23:42,600
So as the years go by in 2016,

603
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,260
to address the app question,

604
00:23:44,260 --> 00:23:45,500
we got connected and partnered

605
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:47,220
with a company called Trainerize.

606
00:23:47,220 --> 00:23:49,100
And I was actually an early adopter in that

607
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:50,420
Trainerize platform.

608
00:23:50,420 --> 00:23:52,760
So 2016, they were just getting going.

609
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,180
I think they launched it, rebranded the name of Trainerize

610
00:23:55,180 --> 00:23:59,580
in like 14, got going and I started bugging the developers.

611
00:23:59,580 --> 00:24:01,780
And I was like, hey, I want this and I want that.

612
00:24:01,780 --> 00:24:03,740
And you know, I'm gonna do this with the app.

613
00:24:03,740 --> 00:24:04,780
I'm gonna do this with the app.

614
00:24:04,780 --> 00:24:07,540
And at the time, you know, they were just getting started.

615
00:24:07,540 --> 00:24:09,620
They came back and were like, hey, you know,

616
00:24:09,620 --> 00:24:10,700
what are you doing with this?

617
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:13,540
Like, this is not a traditional, you know, online trainer

618
00:24:13,540 --> 00:24:15,500
or online fitness professional.

619
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:18,380
And cause I was using integrated connected health devices.

620
00:24:18,380 --> 00:24:21,460
I was, you know, developing meal consultation services,

621
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:24,460
really driving habit reminders and things of that nature.

622
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:27,860
So that way I could leverage this membership model,

623
00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:30,100
you know, for the clients that I was working with.

624
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:33,620
So long story short, the CEO, the head product developer,

625
00:24:33,620 --> 00:24:35,060
they all start reaching out to me and they're like,

626
00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:36,500
hey, can you train me?

627
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:39,260
Can you do, you know, nutrition and this and that

628
00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:40,460
with the platform that we have?

629
00:24:40,460 --> 00:24:41,700
And I said, absolutely.

630
00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:45,140
Okay. So now I'm starting to train like all the C levels

631
00:24:45,140 --> 00:24:48,100
of trainer eyes and this, I want to say like 17 era,

632
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:49,860
so 2017 ish.

633
00:24:49,860 --> 00:24:52,980
And soon after that, they're like, hey, can you do this

634
00:24:52,980 --> 00:24:55,060
for all of our employees worldwide?

635
00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:57,380
And I was like, absolutely, let's rock and roll.

636
00:24:57,380 --> 00:25:00,380
So then I developed an employee wellness program

637
00:25:00,380 --> 00:25:03,580
that not only tapped into all of the employees worldwide,

638
00:25:03,580 --> 00:25:06,940
so Canada, US, Mexico, Europe, I think at the time,

639
00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:09,660
somewhere in Asia, I mean, all over the world.

640
00:25:09,660 --> 00:25:12,860
So now, I mean, for me and my vision and stuff too,

641
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:15,020
for helping more people and making more money,

642
00:25:15,020 --> 00:25:18,020
we now had online health coaching services.

643
00:25:18,020 --> 00:25:20,780
We had a scalable employee wellness model.

644
00:25:20,780 --> 00:25:22,460
You know, I was taking people in person.

645
00:25:22,460 --> 00:25:24,020
I was driving fitness, nutrition,

646
00:25:24,020 --> 00:25:27,060
and habit change principles and all that kind of stuff.

647
00:25:27,060 --> 00:25:29,860
At that same time, this is where the expanded wellness

648
00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:31,540
services came into play, dude.

649
00:25:31,540 --> 00:25:36,540
So now, now we have me developing in 2016 and 17,

650
00:25:36,540 --> 00:25:38,180
clinical nutrition and blood testing

651
00:25:38,180 --> 00:25:39,940
because they needed that.

652
00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:41,540
We had food sensitivity issues.

653
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:43,580
We had micronutrient deficiencies.

654
00:25:43,580 --> 00:25:45,620
You know, people were not getting their blood work.

655
00:25:45,620 --> 00:25:47,780
So I set up with a cash-based lab

656
00:25:47,780 --> 00:25:50,100
and because they may have not had a doctor set up,

657
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:52,180
whatever, we're actually running lab work

658
00:25:52,180 --> 00:25:53,740
with our clinical nutritionists

659
00:25:53,740 --> 00:25:56,020
and developing clinical nutrition programs

660
00:25:56,020 --> 00:25:58,420
to get people dialed in on their internal health

661
00:25:58,420 --> 00:26:00,700
in conjunction with, at the time,

662
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,740
still in-person fitness, online health coaching,

663
00:26:03,740 --> 00:26:05,100
using connected health devices

664
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:07,220
to grab their health data, the whole package.

665
00:26:07,220 --> 00:26:09,100
You can see how this is forming.

666
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,980
I'll hit the fast forward button here real quick.

667
00:26:11,980 --> 00:26:15,500
2019, we developed physical therapy model

668
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:17,980
with integrated coaching experience.

669
00:26:17,980 --> 00:26:21,420
2020 hits and now we had businesses coming to us

670
00:26:21,420 --> 00:26:23,740
and saying, hey, we're scrambling.

671
00:26:23,740 --> 00:26:24,780
How do we do this?

672
00:26:24,780 --> 00:26:25,980
How do we get online?

673
00:26:25,980 --> 00:26:27,860
So now we pivoted and also opened up

674
00:26:27,860 --> 00:26:29,460
a business consulting division

675
00:26:29,460 --> 00:26:31,820
that basically teaches people how to do what we're doing

676
00:26:31,820 --> 00:26:34,140
with their own business model in niche market.

677
00:26:34,140 --> 00:26:37,220
2021, obviously there was an issue

678
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:38,780
with mental health and mental wellness.

679
00:26:38,780 --> 00:26:40,340
So we brought that program in

680
00:26:40,340 --> 00:26:42,300
and integrated that into the model.

681
00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:44,740
And for the last three years or so now,

682
00:26:44,740 --> 00:26:46,740
we've really doing a lot more work

683
00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:49,300
in the B2B solutions at Tri-Corp Business Solutions

684
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:52,140
and helping other fitness businesses and professionals,

685
00:26:52,140 --> 00:26:55,340
health clubs do the same and really pivot

686
00:26:55,340 --> 00:26:57,700
through all those pain points that I had originally

687
00:26:57,700 --> 00:26:59,460
and really developing this integrated model

688
00:26:59,460 --> 00:27:00,860
to serve their markets too.

689
00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:05,060
So that's the story, the pain, the tech question.

690
00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:06,540
What do you got?

691
00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:07,380
Love it.

692
00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:09,580
Well, I got what I got out of it.

693
00:27:09,580 --> 00:27:11,100
And the most important thing to me

694
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:13,300
and all you visionary leaders out there

695
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:16,900
is if you can't feel the fire

696
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:19,460
that comes from Chris Edwards eyes right now,

697
00:27:19,460 --> 00:27:22,700
like his passion, his authenticity, the sincerity,

698
00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:24,620
the dedication of what he's doing,

699
00:27:24,620 --> 00:27:27,540
this is honestly the number one thing that I look for

700
00:27:27,540 --> 00:27:30,740
and visionary leaders that I'm looking to invest in

701
00:27:30,740 --> 00:27:31,820
that I'm looking to partner with,

702
00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:33,700
that I'm looking to work with

703
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:38,500
because that's exactly what Lloyd had at Unlocal.

704
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:40,780
That's exactly what Adam Christopher had

705
00:27:40,780 --> 00:27:41,780
at Restaurant Connect.

706
00:27:41,780 --> 00:27:44,620
That's exactly what Jake Larson had at Video Power Marketing.

707
00:27:44,620 --> 00:27:47,380
It's exactly what Dr. Eric Berg had.

708
00:27:47,380 --> 00:27:48,940
These are the types of individuals

709
00:27:48,940 --> 00:27:52,260
that they've all gone past the 10-year mark

710
00:27:52,260 --> 00:27:53,100
with their ventures,

711
00:27:53,100 --> 00:27:55,740
which is the death nail for most entrepreneurs.

712
00:27:55,740 --> 00:27:59,100
96% fell within 10 years, 4% barely survive.

713
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:01,100
And I'm curious, Chris,

714
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:02,660
have you ever had friends or family

715
00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:05,220
ask you to read The One Thing by Gary Keller?

716
00:28:06,340 --> 00:28:07,180
The One Thing, no.

717
00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:08,020
No, I haven't.

718
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:09,740
I'm trying it down, The One Thing.

719
00:28:09,740 --> 00:28:11,500
No, you don't need to.

720
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:13,780
Normally, it's because you have your degrees,

721
00:28:13,780 --> 00:28:15,420
but normally people love to be like,

722
00:28:15,420 --> 00:28:18,340
well, have you ever thought about just focusing in

723
00:28:18,340 --> 00:28:19,220
and doing one thing?

724
00:28:19,220 --> 00:28:20,540
And I'm like, you know,

725
00:28:20,540 --> 00:28:22,900
there was a reporter who once told LeBron James,

726
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,340
why don't you shut up and dribble?

727
00:28:24,340 --> 00:28:26,820
And it ruined that reporter's career.

728
00:28:26,820 --> 00:28:30,620
And talking to a man who's got a portfolio of companies

729
00:28:30,620 --> 00:28:33,740
in addition to all the accolades he's made in his sport.

730
00:28:33,740 --> 00:28:36,580
So The One Thing can suck it.

731
00:28:36,580 --> 00:28:40,780
But no, Gary Keller's also an amazing founder.

732
00:28:40,780 --> 00:28:45,180
But you're like a Disney man.

733
00:28:45,180 --> 00:28:50,180
Like you really have this gift of pure vision

734
00:28:50,500 --> 00:28:51,340
about what you're up to.

735
00:28:51,340 --> 00:28:53,060
I can see why Peyton fanboyed you.

736
00:28:55,060 --> 00:28:56,860
I'm like, all right, cool.

737
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:59,660
He's got the actual draw for this.

738
00:28:59,660 --> 00:29:01,220
Like he's got it all right here.

739
00:29:01,220 --> 00:29:02,420
And a lot of it developed now.

740
00:29:02,420 --> 00:29:05,900
And I mean, Thomas Edison had to have been doing

741
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:07,860
and saying the same types of things in his day.

742
00:29:07,860 --> 00:29:11,860
So man, well done on dedication.

743
00:29:11,860 --> 00:29:14,100
And again, authenticity, sincerity,

744
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:16,340
putting in the work to move this forward.

745
00:29:16,340 --> 00:29:19,220
I'm excited to see where all you go with it.

746
00:29:19,220 --> 00:29:21,100
Again, visionary leaders,

747
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:25,820
if your vision doesn't drive you to this type of energy,

748
00:29:25,820 --> 00:29:27,660
then I'm also grateful for Tom

749
00:29:27,660 --> 00:29:28,620
who I interviewed yesterday.

750
00:29:28,620 --> 00:29:30,180
He said, Jackson, when you're asking people

751
00:29:30,180 --> 00:29:32,540
about how do you fund a vision,

752
00:29:32,540 --> 00:29:36,020
he said, you're not asking the right question first.

753
00:29:36,020 --> 00:29:40,660
Is the first you gotta ask, how do you find your vision?

754
00:29:40,660 --> 00:29:42,700
And I changed our whole model based on it.

755
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:44,180
I was like, okay, we're gonna start asking that

756
00:29:44,180 --> 00:29:45,000
moving forward.

757
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,020
Like, thank you, 500 something episodes in,

758
00:29:47,020 --> 00:29:48,740
you get somebody who gives you that type of wisdom.

759
00:29:48,740 --> 00:29:51,020
You just gotta be like, yes.

760
00:29:51,020 --> 00:29:54,940
So yeah, so I'm gonna take the time right now.

761
00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:57,020
How the heck did you find this vision?

762
00:29:57,900 --> 00:29:59,500
What led to it?

763
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:03,360
Pain and frustration, okay?

764
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,900
A lot of people, and again,

765
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:08,180
coming back to the Hormozi component and stuff too,

766
00:30:08,180 --> 00:30:12,420
and he does a lot of podcasting and book writing on this

767
00:30:12,420 --> 00:30:15,340
and stuff too, is finding that internal drive

768
00:30:15,340 --> 00:30:18,420
and that motivation that makes you want to change.

769
00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:19,820
And we even go back further.

770
00:30:19,820 --> 00:30:20,820
I'm gonna go back further.

771
00:30:20,820 --> 00:30:21,640
I agree with you.

772
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:22,900
I know the pain and the motivation is,

773
00:30:22,900 --> 00:30:24,260
that's like the easy component

774
00:30:24,260 --> 00:30:26,780
that is gonna get anybody to move eventually.

775
00:30:26,780 --> 00:30:31,500
But was it pain and frustration

776
00:30:31,500 --> 00:30:33,860
that led you to get the degrees?

777
00:30:33,860 --> 00:30:37,100
Or what was it before?

778
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:39,740
Going back maybe even 10 years beyond that.

779
00:30:41,060 --> 00:30:42,500
Let me give you an example.

780
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:46,220
I was 14 years old in the middle of football season.

781
00:30:46,220 --> 00:30:49,380
My brother-in-law, brand new brother-in-law,

782
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:51,660
gives me a chiropractic adjustment.

783
00:30:51,660 --> 00:30:53,260
Changed my life.

784
00:30:53,260 --> 00:30:56,700
I read this book at 14 years old, Chiropractic First.

785
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:59,660
I decided I wanted to be a chiropractor for a while.

786
00:30:59,660 --> 00:31:00,940
Went into pre-med, if you will,

787
00:31:00,940 --> 00:31:03,380
went into classes in school for medical work,

788
00:31:03,380 --> 00:31:06,060
did a farm, ENT place,

789
00:31:06,060 --> 00:31:08,380
and went to the pharmacology program.

790
00:31:08,380 --> 00:31:13,380
But point being, like that really had an impact

791
00:31:13,780 --> 00:31:15,140
on my desire to go

792
00:31:15,140 --> 00:31:17,180
to National Youth Leadership Forum for Medicine,

793
00:31:17,180 --> 00:31:19,340
start to learn about health and wellness

794
00:31:19,340 --> 00:31:21,700
and consider the path of being a doctor,

795
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:23,540
pediatrician, something along those lines.

796
00:31:23,540 --> 00:31:25,620
So is there something further back

797
00:31:25,620 --> 00:31:28,700
that drove and motivated you to go that route?

798
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:30,300
Wow, that's a really good question.

799
00:31:30,300 --> 00:31:32,700
And I can see where you're going with that.

800
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:34,380
And I don't think I've ever actually

801
00:31:34,380 --> 00:31:36,980
put this out in the world ever before.

802
00:31:36,980 --> 00:31:39,700
And this is something of self-realization.

803
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:42,500
No, seriously, self-realization about myself

804
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:44,820
that I've had to personally discover too,

805
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:46,380
to keep the fire burning

806
00:31:46,380 --> 00:31:48,980
as I've grown this business at the same time.

807
00:31:48,980 --> 00:31:51,820
And I'm gonna prelude this statement by saying,

808
00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:53,420
nothing against my family at all.

809
00:31:53,420 --> 00:31:55,860
I love all of my family and stuff,

810
00:31:55,860 --> 00:31:57,860
but I came from a divorced household.

811
00:31:57,860 --> 00:32:00,580
And a lot of my family was divorced.

812
00:32:00,580 --> 00:32:04,020
My parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, almost everybody.

813
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:05,740
And it was, I had a great childhood,

814
00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:07,140
don't get me wrong, right?

815
00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:09,780
But for myself, I felt that drive

816
00:32:09,780 --> 00:32:13,500
to create something for myself and a legacy, right?

817
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:15,620
And that's what I'm doing with my family right now too.

818
00:32:15,620 --> 00:32:18,380
And I'm super confident about this

819
00:32:18,380 --> 00:32:19,820
and where we're going with the business

820
00:32:19,820 --> 00:32:22,020
and also my family and home life too,

821
00:32:22,020 --> 00:32:24,620
is I wanna build something, a legacy.

822
00:32:24,620 --> 00:32:26,380
I wanna create something

823
00:32:26,380 --> 00:32:29,900
that is gonna have long lasting components

824
00:32:29,900 --> 00:32:32,020
of helping people along the way

825
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:35,780
so they can create career paths and education

826
00:32:35,780 --> 00:32:39,980
and success for their own personal families as well.

827
00:32:39,980 --> 00:32:43,300
So I would say legacy really is really kind of stemming

828
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:46,460
from that original, original pain and frustration

829
00:32:46,460 --> 00:32:48,660
outside of the market, pain and frustration

830
00:32:48,660 --> 00:32:51,700
that I experienced college post-college.

831
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:52,540
Yeah, I love that.

832
00:32:52,540 --> 00:32:57,540
And it's a hard line to walk, right?

833
00:32:58,380 --> 00:33:00,180
And we wanna honor our families

834
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:03,580
and we wanna also be able to help people see

835
00:33:03,580 --> 00:33:06,300
what it is that's happening so that they can be inspired

836
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:09,180
and you can help, you know what your story can do

837
00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:12,140
for so many people out there who are in similar situations.

838
00:33:12,140 --> 00:33:15,660
I think of that book, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.

839
00:33:15,660 --> 00:33:16,940
They turned it into a Netflix movie

840
00:33:16,940 --> 00:33:18,580
which makes it way easier to consume

841
00:33:18,580 --> 00:33:23,100
and really live and feel his dad.

842
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,940
This is a kid in Africa who found a book

843
00:33:24,940 --> 00:33:28,580
on electricity and windmills and he became obsessed

844
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:31,660
and he took his dad's bike apart, right?

845
00:33:31,660 --> 00:33:33,740
And used that as part of making this windmill.

846
00:33:33,740 --> 00:33:36,220
And it doesn't show his dad beat him,

847
00:33:36,220 --> 00:33:39,340
but you know, they probably did their best

848
00:33:39,340 --> 00:33:42,860
to honor that situation too, but his dad was not happy.

849
00:33:42,860 --> 00:33:44,060
He was constantly telling him,

850
00:33:44,060 --> 00:33:46,740
stop doing this, you're wasting your time.

851
00:33:46,740 --> 00:33:50,420
And the kid ends up going to MIT,

852
00:33:50,420 --> 00:33:52,380
after making it happen for the village

853
00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:54,940
and changing an entire nation.

854
00:33:55,860 --> 00:33:59,300
The kid in October sky, rocket launching.

855
00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:01,060
His dad hated that he was doing that.

856
00:34:01,060 --> 00:34:04,580
And at the same time, like at the end of these stories,

857
00:34:04,580 --> 00:34:06,380
there was an Olympian, I watched that movie.

858
00:34:06,380 --> 00:34:07,740
I can't remember the name of the Olympian,

859
00:34:07,740 --> 00:34:11,060
but he went to the Olympic games,

860
00:34:11,060 --> 00:34:12,340
I believe it was in Germany.

861
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:15,900
And with the racial segregation, all that was a challenge,

862
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:19,860
but in the early days, his dad did not support him in track

863
00:34:19,860 --> 00:34:22,260
because he should have been focused on earning money

864
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:24,300
for the family or whatever else.

865
00:34:24,300 --> 00:34:26,740
There's a trend that exists here.

866
00:34:26,740 --> 00:34:30,500
And those visionaries honored their families

867
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:33,540
by pursuing those legacies and making those things happen.

868
00:34:33,540 --> 00:34:37,180
So I'm super grateful for you sharing that with us today.

869
00:34:37,180 --> 00:34:41,700
And I know the difficult nature,

870
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:44,620
I have pissed many people in my family off

871
00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:47,180
by trying to share vulnerably with the world,

872
00:34:47,180 --> 00:34:50,380
like, look, this is the chronological order of events.

873
00:34:50,380 --> 00:34:51,900
These are the things that happened.

874
00:34:51,900 --> 00:34:53,580
And these are the things that helped me see

875
00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:55,020
what I want for my life

876
00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:58,380
and what I want to help others realize there's hope

877
00:34:58,380 --> 00:35:00,140
in situations where things are difficult.

878
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:03,340
So again, thanks for diving deeply into that.

879
00:35:03,340 --> 00:35:05,660
Those visionary leaders out there,

880
00:35:05,660 --> 00:35:07,860
I hope you're starting to write down too,

881
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:10,580
where did the turning points come

882
00:35:10,580 --> 00:35:13,180
for getting you to the point of pursuing your vision

883
00:35:13,180 --> 00:35:17,220
and seeing that you wanted to pursue something

884
00:35:17,220 --> 00:35:19,260
a little bit crazy, a little bit dreamy,

885
00:35:19,260 --> 00:35:20,900
a little bit different than what others are saying

886
00:35:20,900 --> 00:35:21,740
in your life.

887
00:35:21,740 --> 00:35:24,340
There's great power in exploring and meditating on that.

888
00:35:24,340 --> 00:35:26,740
So let's dive into,

889
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:31,020
what's your worst?

890
00:35:31,020 --> 00:35:34,100
What's the worst leadership experience that you've ever had?

891
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:43,100
Man, so I would say the worst is not clarifying my vision

892
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:45,100
in the new hire process.

893
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:50,660
Oh, I laugh out of my own, oh, that hurts.

894
00:35:50,660 --> 00:35:52,020
You know what I'm saying though, right?

895
00:35:52,020 --> 00:35:54,980
It's like, it's, and this is something that you learn

896
00:35:54,980 --> 00:35:57,740
as you grow as a business professional too,

897
00:35:57,740 --> 00:36:03,460
is whatever the situation, whatever the thing may be,

898
00:36:03,460 --> 00:36:06,740
is making sure that that person that you're hiring

899
00:36:06,740 --> 00:36:11,740
in your company has as much as a close related vision

900
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:14,100
as you with the concept

901
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:15,940
and where you wanna go with the company.

902
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:19,420
And if there's any hesitation in that whatsoever,

903
00:36:19,420 --> 00:36:21,900
but yet you still hire them and go through the onboarding

904
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:24,140
and spend the time and spend the money and do that.

905
00:36:24,140 --> 00:36:25,780
And then you're like six months later,

906
00:36:25,780 --> 00:36:26,980
like you knew it in your gut,

907
00:36:26,980 --> 00:36:27,980
but you still did it anyway

908
00:36:27,980 --> 00:36:29,260
because you wanted to fill the spot

909
00:36:29,260 --> 00:36:31,420
because you needed some things done.

910
00:36:31,420 --> 00:36:32,660
It's just a waste of time.

911
00:36:32,660 --> 00:36:34,900
And that was the biggest pain that I had.

912
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:37,780
And I've had a couple of times in my early career too.

913
00:36:37,780 --> 00:36:41,660
And that was a huge learning curve.

914
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:44,940
And as a leader, as a business owner,

915
00:36:44,940 --> 00:36:48,260
that was a bad experience that I've now kind of learned

916
00:36:48,260 --> 00:36:50,300
and hopefully I'm doing better now.

917
00:36:50,300 --> 00:36:53,900
So you're talking about it like you learned in the past.

918
00:36:53,900 --> 00:36:55,020
I'm looking at it and saying,

919
00:36:55,020 --> 00:36:57,260
I've done this many, many, many, many, many times wrong.

920
00:36:57,260 --> 00:37:00,180
And I'm still looking at the learning curve going,

921
00:37:00,180 --> 00:37:02,780
okay, we have a long way to go on this,

922
00:37:02,780 --> 00:37:06,700
but if I could put a message on repeat

923
00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:09,740
for entrepreneurs to listen to daily,

924
00:37:11,060 --> 00:37:12,140
talked about that.

925
00:37:12,140 --> 00:37:15,420
Now here's the thing I believe in because I've felt it

926
00:37:15,420 --> 00:37:17,860
and I've had it and love it first sight.

927
00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:20,860
Right, and that does not always have to be romantic.

928
00:37:20,860 --> 00:37:24,140
I'm right, the bromance situations can exist too.

929
00:37:24,140 --> 00:37:25,140
The passion of, oh wow,

930
00:37:25,140 --> 00:37:26,580
we're both designed for this project.

931
00:37:26,580 --> 00:37:29,820
And that can be one of the most amazing recipes of all time.

932
00:37:29,820 --> 00:37:32,300
It could also be one of the most toxic atomic bomb

933
00:37:32,300 --> 00:37:34,220
experiences of all time too.

934
00:37:34,220 --> 00:37:36,100
Is when we make assumptions

935
00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:38,700
that we're on the same page with somebody,

936
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:41,700
there's so many relationship realities

937
00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:45,140
that can affect or disrupt that situation

938
00:37:45,140 --> 00:37:48,340
that it's wise to make sure.

939
00:37:48,340 --> 00:37:50,660
And I like how you talked about it,

940
00:37:50,660 --> 00:37:53,740
defining your vision more clearly, right?

941
00:37:53,740 --> 00:37:57,620
So that it's easier for the other person

942
00:37:57,620 --> 00:38:00,100
to see what they're actually committing to.

943
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:02,260
What it is that their role would look like in this.

944
00:38:02,260 --> 00:38:06,060
If you don't, I was the guy who was constantly hired,

945
00:38:06,060 --> 00:38:07,740
who would see other people's visions.

946
00:38:07,740 --> 00:38:09,540
And this is where that Grant Cardone reference

947
00:38:09,540 --> 00:38:11,660
where I feel reverence for it.

948
00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:14,580
I would come in, see somebody's vision

949
00:38:14,580 --> 00:38:18,060
and immediately take control over that vision.

950
00:38:18,060 --> 00:38:20,300
And I would then I'd wanna own it

951
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:22,620
because you have an ownership mentality, right?

952
00:38:22,620 --> 00:38:26,220
And so I had that, but they didn't have the ability

953
00:38:26,220 --> 00:38:29,060
as leaders to harness my superpowers

954
00:38:29,060 --> 00:38:31,260
and to help me get in line with what they were doing.

955
00:38:31,260 --> 00:38:34,500
I was too obnoxiously self-assured,

956
00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:37,260
maybe arrogant and cocky, I don't know.

957
00:38:37,260 --> 00:38:39,940
But I know it was difficult in the early days.

958
00:38:39,940 --> 00:38:44,940
And that can be avoided when we clarify our visions enough

959
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:48,780
to set healthy boundaries that help people realize

960
00:38:48,780 --> 00:38:50,500
I'm really not actually a good fit

961
00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:51,980
for what you're trying to do.

962
00:38:51,980 --> 00:38:54,220
And that's a very hard discipline to work through,

963
00:38:54,220 --> 00:38:57,380
but it's one that all of us can work on.

964
00:38:57,380 --> 00:38:58,980
Oh, we don't necessarily need a guru

965
00:38:58,980 --> 00:39:02,500
to figure that out for us, but we should be exploring it.

966
00:39:03,940 --> 00:39:05,420
Let's go to the opposite side.

967
00:39:05,420 --> 00:39:08,740
What's the best leadership experience you've ever had?

968
00:39:08,740 --> 00:39:10,900
Man, I would say the complete opposite

969
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:12,360
of hiring the right people.

970
00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:18,860
And ultimately too, it takes time to learn.

971
00:39:19,580 --> 00:39:22,660
I've been lucky to have some great business mentors

972
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:25,180
that I've been able to bounce ideas off.

973
00:39:25,180 --> 00:39:27,260
And obviously as you build a company

974
00:39:27,260 --> 00:39:29,100
and as you build a team,

975
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:31,540
having the right people on your team that compliments

976
00:39:31,540 --> 00:39:33,940
say your weak points or is a compliment

977
00:39:33,940 --> 00:39:37,140
to what your skillsets are at the same time too.

978
00:39:37,140 --> 00:39:40,040
Hiring that right person, making sure they are a fit,

979
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,740
making sure they are on the same vision of you

980
00:39:43,620 --> 00:39:45,860
is extremely satisfying.

981
00:39:45,860 --> 00:39:50,460
And it makes you feel motivated, charged up.

982
00:39:50,460 --> 00:39:53,140
And if they believe in the vision for you and the company

983
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:56,940
and such too, I mean, it just makes you feel fulfilled

984
00:39:56,940 --> 00:40:00,300
as a leader that you have confidence in your team

985
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:03,020
and you know that at the end of the day,

986
00:40:03,020 --> 00:40:05,340
they're on the same page and you don't have to say anything

987
00:40:05,340 --> 00:40:06,820
and they're just gonna execute.

988
00:40:06,820 --> 00:40:09,020
So I would say it's the complete opposite,

989
00:40:09,020 --> 00:40:11,820
hiring the right people and feeling confident

990
00:40:11,820 --> 00:40:23,500
with your team that you fired.

991
00:40:23,500 --> 00:40:27,100
Yeah, I'd second that.

992
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:30,100
That's absolutely one of the most wonderful feelings.

993
00:40:31,580 --> 00:40:33,980
When you have the right people working on your team,

994
00:40:33,980 --> 00:40:35,300
what I found as a founder

995
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,300
is it feels like your birthday every day.

996
00:40:38,300 --> 00:40:41,580
When you come into the office, it's like just a celebration.

997
00:40:41,580 --> 00:40:43,740
Everybody's showing up, everybody's excited to be there.

998
00:40:43,740 --> 00:40:48,300
Everybody's in harmony or even if somebody has a bad day

999
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:50,180
or something tragic happens in their lives,

1000
00:40:50,180 --> 00:40:51,860
we're all there for each other on that.

1001
00:40:51,860 --> 00:40:55,340
So there's just this feeling of family

1002
00:40:55,340 --> 00:40:58,060
that can ultimately exist in those situations

1003
00:40:58,060 --> 00:41:00,580
that family in its purest form,

1004
00:41:00,580 --> 00:41:04,060
what I think a lot of us long and seek for.

1005
00:41:04,060 --> 00:41:09,060
So I love that on your page,

1006
00:41:09,820 --> 00:41:11,260
you do have your leadership page

1007
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:13,500
where your honoring individual is there.

1008
00:41:14,620 --> 00:41:15,860
I'm gonna share a little secret.

1009
00:41:15,860 --> 00:41:18,540
It's kind of a coaching tip for you, Chris.

1010
00:41:18,540 --> 00:41:20,420
I know you don't need that from me,

1011
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:22,620
but it's for the whole world in this regard.

1012
00:41:23,620 --> 00:41:26,220
I wish more entrepreneurs understood the value

1013
00:41:26,220 --> 00:41:27,980
of doing this in the front end.

1014
00:41:27,980 --> 00:41:32,260
One of the fastest and easiest ways for me to evaluate

1015
00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:34,820
whether a company is actually scaling or not

1016
00:41:34,820 --> 00:41:36,300
is if they have a careers page

1017
00:41:37,420 --> 00:41:40,140
and if they have a join our team tab,

1018
00:41:40,140 --> 00:41:41,660
something along those lines.

1019
00:41:41,660 --> 00:41:45,260
And so it's very hard to attract all stars

1020
00:41:45,260 --> 00:41:49,860
when all stars aren't invited to be part of a process.

1021
00:41:49,860 --> 00:41:52,780
And that's by no means,

1022
00:41:52,780 --> 00:41:54,620
if all you visionary leaders listening in are like,

1023
00:41:54,620 --> 00:41:56,980
oh my gosh, I don't have that page, I'm a failure.

1024
00:41:56,980 --> 00:41:57,820
No, you're not.

1025
00:41:58,860 --> 00:42:01,300
Not many people know to look for that.

1026
00:42:02,580 --> 00:42:05,620
It's like the individuals in the hiring process that ask,

1027
00:42:05,620 --> 00:42:07,700
tell me about a time that you failed.

1028
00:42:07,700 --> 00:42:10,740
Most companies don't even know why they ask that question.

1029
00:42:10,740 --> 00:42:12,380
But the Elon Musk's of the world know

1030
00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:15,180
that it's to detect the liars.

1031
00:42:15,180 --> 00:42:17,140
It's to see who's gonna hide.

1032
00:42:17,140 --> 00:42:19,140
There's shortcomings or point blame

1033
00:42:19,140 --> 00:42:20,300
and fingers of other people

1034
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:22,620
and try to make themselves look good.

1035
00:42:22,620 --> 00:42:26,820
There's these subconscious or subtle realities that exist.

1036
00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:29,260
And are there massive companies

1037
00:42:29,260 --> 00:42:31,860
that don't have their career pages and join a team?

1038
00:42:31,860 --> 00:42:32,700
Yes, they are.

1039
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:34,820
Are there companies that honor their people

1040
00:42:34,820 --> 00:42:36,740
and have a great recruiting process without that?

1041
00:42:36,740 --> 00:42:37,860
Yes, there are.

1042
00:42:37,860 --> 00:42:40,460
I said it's the easiest way, not the most,

1043
00:42:40,460 --> 00:42:43,300
not the always way.

1044
00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:46,500
And so if you as a visionary leader out there,

1045
00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:50,020
if you think you're gonna pull the vision off by yourself,

1046
00:42:50,900 --> 00:42:51,740
good luck.

1047
00:42:51,740 --> 00:42:53,820
I've never seen a solo entrepreneur successful.

1048
00:42:53,820 --> 00:42:55,580
I love that you honor your people, Chris,

1049
00:42:55,580 --> 00:42:57,900
and you've got the people who are working with you.

1050
00:42:57,900 --> 00:42:59,140
It looks like one of the individuals

1051
00:42:59,140 --> 00:43:00,580
who you're working with, by the way,

1052
00:43:00,580 --> 00:43:02,500
is that your spouse?

1053
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:03,780
Yes, Kristen.

1054
00:43:03,780 --> 00:43:06,060
That's a hard dynamic to pull off.

1055
00:43:06,060 --> 00:43:07,620
And I don't wanna dive into the details on that,

1056
00:43:07,620 --> 00:43:11,620
but I wanna honor the fact that you guys have found

1057
00:43:11,620 --> 00:43:14,020
enough of alignment to be able to align

1058
00:43:14,020 --> 00:43:16,300
on one of the things you guys probably dedicate

1059
00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:18,340
a lot of your time to, which is your business.

1060
00:43:18,340 --> 00:43:22,580
That is absolutely awesome, dangerously amazing.

1061
00:43:22,580 --> 00:43:24,700
And most of the best things in life,

1062
00:43:24,700 --> 00:43:26,260
like creating a child,

1063
00:43:26,260 --> 00:43:28,300
are dangerously amazing opportunities.

1064
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:31,380
So I wish you guys the best.

1065
00:43:31,380 --> 00:43:32,220
I pray for you,

1066
00:43:32,220 --> 00:43:34,700
because it would be amazing to see you guys

1067
00:43:34,700 --> 00:43:38,900
40 years from now, still having your company together

1068
00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:39,740
and moving.

1069
00:43:42,020 --> 00:43:43,660
I hate when people say,

1070
00:43:43,660 --> 00:43:48,660
well, couples who work together get divorced.

1071
00:43:50,260 --> 00:43:51,980
Everybody gets divorced.

1072
00:43:52,980 --> 00:43:55,100
Have you not looked at the world?

1073
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:57,580
That's not a variable that is worth.

1074
00:43:57,580 --> 00:43:58,420
What do you want?

1075
00:43:58,420 --> 00:43:59,260
You want a relationship

1076
00:43:59,260 --> 00:44:01,180
where you don't talk about politics,

1077
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:02,180
you don't talk about sports,

1078
00:44:02,180 --> 00:44:03,060
you don't talk about religion,

1079
00:44:03,060 --> 00:44:03,980
you don't work together.

1080
00:44:03,980 --> 00:44:06,420
Where the heck is the relationship after that?

1081
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:13,140
What wisdom can you share with those

1082
00:44:13,140 --> 00:44:16,700
who are maybe in the same shoes,

1083
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:18,980
or maybe are considering,

1084
00:44:18,980 --> 00:44:20,660
can I work with my spouse or not?

1085
00:44:22,860 --> 00:44:23,940
Another really good question.

1086
00:44:23,940 --> 00:44:26,460
You've been doing this a couple of times, haven't you?

1087
00:44:26,460 --> 00:44:27,820
I've twice divorced my friends,

1088
00:44:27,820 --> 00:44:31,740
so I've been through the painful reality of losing mine.

1089
00:44:31,740 --> 00:44:33,460
Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that.

1090
00:44:33,460 --> 00:44:34,700
Thank you.

1091
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:37,220
And I try to honor the mothers of my children

1092
00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:38,180
the best I can,

1093
00:44:39,020 --> 00:44:42,740
but it's not a trophy case for me of like,

1094
00:44:42,740 --> 00:44:44,260
look at how many times I can get married.

1095
00:44:44,260 --> 00:44:45,380
In fact, the opposite.

1096
00:44:45,380 --> 00:44:50,380
It's I honor the sacred nature of family and marriage

1097
00:44:50,540 --> 00:44:52,580
and my story, let it be a warning.

1098
00:44:53,740 --> 00:44:55,780
And I got my own podcast stuff to do

1099
00:44:55,780 --> 00:44:58,460
where I talk about that and help people with that reality.

1100
00:44:58,460 --> 00:45:02,060
But it's individuals like you that have yours

1101
00:45:02,060 --> 00:45:04,820
where I have a sacred appreciation for,

1102
00:45:04,820 --> 00:45:07,140
I am rooting for you so strongly.

1103
00:45:07,140 --> 00:45:08,140
Thank you.

1104
00:45:08,140 --> 00:45:08,980
Thank you, man.

1105
00:45:08,980 --> 00:45:12,540
Yeah, I think ultimately it's been time management,

1106
00:45:12,540 --> 00:45:14,900
using time blocking strategies

1107
00:45:14,900 --> 00:45:17,660
and dedicating time for each other.

1108
00:45:17,660 --> 00:45:20,500
I am a self-proclaimed workaholic.

1109
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:22,340
I had a problem, I'm not gonna lie.

1110
00:45:22,340 --> 00:45:25,500
Go figure, who would have voted against Chris on that?

1111
00:45:25,500 --> 00:45:27,620
Yeah, I had a problem.

1112
00:45:27,620 --> 00:45:29,860
I'm a hyper-focused type A individual,

1113
00:45:29,860 --> 00:45:34,340
and I put my business first for many, many years.

1114
00:45:34,340 --> 00:45:36,340
We've definitely had some conversations

1115
00:45:36,340 --> 00:45:38,740
and some discussions, my wife and I,

1116
00:45:38,740 --> 00:45:41,300
especially when she transitioned into the business.

1117
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:44,020
And I had to do a lot of self-reflection, honestly,

1118
00:45:44,020 --> 00:45:46,940
and really take a look at my schedule,

1119
00:45:46,940 --> 00:45:48,780
dial things back a little bit.

1120
00:45:48,780 --> 00:45:51,100
You know, just chatting with one of my team members

1121
00:45:51,100 --> 00:45:53,580
this morning, you know, he's asking about the phrase,

1122
00:45:53,580 --> 00:45:55,860
when, what's important now.

1123
00:45:55,860 --> 00:45:57,780
It's kind of like the same thing with Stephen Covey,

1124
00:45:57,780 --> 00:45:59,100
first things first.

1125
00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:01,940
And, you know, as we've kind of looped in

1126
00:46:01,940 --> 00:46:03,420
some of the beginning conversation too

1127
00:46:03,420 --> 00:46:06,660
about purification of life, you know,

1128
00:46:06,660 --> 00:46:08,620
obviously getting pregnant, having a kid,

1129
00:46:08,620 --> 00:46:09,980
doing all those things,

1130
00:46:09,980 --> 00:46:12,740
is I have to prioritize time for family,

1131
00:46:12,740 --> 00:46:15,900
and I have to prioritize time for other people

1132
00:46:15,900 --> 00:46:18,340
and things and events now.

1133
00:46:18,340 --> 00:46:20,900
So time management and time management strategies

1134
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:22,020
have been the saving grace

1135
00:46:22,020 --> 00:46:23,740
on how we've been able to work together

1136
00:46:23,740 --> 00:46:26,460
to segment when we're on in the business

1137
00:46:26,460 --> 00:46:27,860
and when we are off.

1138
00:46:27,860 --> 00:46:30,460
And I'm not gonna say I'm the best at it,

1139
00:46:30,460 --> 00:46:33,660
I'm still working on it because I love, you know,

1140
00:46:33,660 --> 00:46:37,580
my vision in Tricor and what we stand for in this world

1141
00:46:37,580 --> 00:46:40,060
and what we're trying to do to change this world.

1142
00:46:40,060 --> 00:46:43,940
But it's actually given me a lot of mental health

1143
00:46:43,940 --> 00:46:47,660
and it's given me a lot of mental relaxation

1144
00:46:47,660 --> 00:46:49,580
to kind of turn off a little bit more.

1145
00:46:49,580 --> 00:46:51,860
And what it's also done too,

1146
00:46:51,860 --> 00:46:54,900
is it's made me focus on more important things

1147
00:46:54,900 --> 00:46:56,980
in the business as well,

1148
00:46:56,980 --> 00:46:59,580
and stop chasing little tiny shining objects

1149
00:46:59,580 --> 00:47:02,860
and really focus on the core vision of the company

1150
00:47:02,860 --> 00:47:04,820
and prioritize what's most important

1151
00:47:04,820 --> 00:47:07,140
so that I can take that time off

1152
00:47:07,140 --> 00:47:09,460
and spend it time with my wife, family, things like that.

1153
00:47:09,460 --> 00:47:11,740
So time management for sure, man.

1154
00:47:11,740 --> 00:47:12,580
I love it.

1155
00:47:12,580 --> 00:47:14,940
And that's, you know, time managers

1156
00:47:14,940 --> 00:47:17,060
or people who are conscious of their time,

1157
00:47:17,060 --> 00:47:21,940
and I'm gonna call it the less productive world.

1158
00:47:21,940 --> 00:47:24,820
You know, people who tend to get bored,

1159
00:47:24,820 --> 00:47:28,780
or people who tend to stay busy instead of productive,

1160
00:47:28,780 --> 00:47:31,860
they undervalue the time management principle

1161
00:47:31,860 --> 00:47:32,980
because they think, oh man,

1162
00:47:32,980 --> 00:47:34,460
you're putting constraints on your life.

1163
00:47:34,460 --> 00:47:36,620
You know, you're getting all rigid.

1164
00:47:36,620 --> 00:47:38,180
It's the exact opposite, right?

1165
00:47:38,180 --> 00:47:39,700
And we've become time managers.

1166
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:42,180
We've become far more free and selective.

1167
00:47:42,180 --> 00:47:46,180
It become intentional with how we're utilizing our time.

1168
00:47:46,180 --> 00:47:49,140
And we're able to do more that we love

1169
00:47:49,140 --> 00:47:53,460
because we're not wasting time on accidental like,

1170
00:47:53,460 --> 00:47:55,020
uh-oh, now what do I do with my time?

1171
00:47:55,020 --> 00:47:57,300
I haven't felt that since I was like 18.

1172
00:47:58,300 --> 00:48:01,780
And so again, thank you for the insight on that.

1173
00:48:01,780 --> 00:48:04,780
And, you know, some of you guys know

1174
00:48:04,780 --> 00:48:07,180
that I am that first-class business

1175
00:48:07,180 --> 00:48:10,540
is a 44% equity holder in AbleHealth.us.

1176
00:48:10,540 --> 00:48:12,900
You know, so why bring somebody

1177
00:48:12,900 --> 00:48:15,820
who could easily be looked at as my direct competitor, right?

1178
00:48:15,820 --> 00:48:19,260
My, onto my platform?

1179
00:48:19,260 --> 00:48:23,140
Well, a big reason is I don't believe in enemies.

1180
00:48:23,140 --> 00:48:23,980
If somebody wants,

1181
00:48:23,980 --> 00:48:27,140
like I believe that people can see me as an enemy, right?

1182
00:48:27,140 --> 00:48:30,420
But I don't have that same view and judgment.

1183
00:48:30,420 --> 00:48:32,940
Tribal leadership, 2% of companies

1184
00:48:32,940 --> 00:48:36,180
reach a stage of life is abundant.

1185
00:48:36,180 --> 00:48:37,940
And life is abundant is no longer,

1186
00:48:37,940 --> 00:48:39,420
we are great and they are not,

1187
00:48:39,420 --> 00:48:41,340
or I am great and you are not.

1188
00:48:41,340 --> 00:48:43,740
And so I'm always looking for great leaders.

1189
00:48:43,740 --> 00:48:47,300
And AbleHealth will not be able to become

1190
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:49,220
what it's meant to become

1191
00:48:49,220 --> 00:48:51,140
without finding other great leaders

1192
00:48:51,140 --> 00:48:52,500
and strategic partners out there

1193
00:48:52,500 --> 00:48:54,180
and combining forces of visions.

1194
00:48:54,180 --> 00:48:56,900
I don't know, maybe someday it'll be merged and acquired.

1195
00:48:56,900 --> 00:48:59,140
Maybe someday it will merge and acquire other companies.

1196
00:48:59,140 --> 00:49:01,820
There's so much possibility that exists with that.

1197
00:49:01,820 --> 00:49:05,180
But I can say like this conversation,

1198
00:49:05,180 --> 00:49:07,500
while we didn't talk about Tricor Wellness

1199
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:09,100
and like what it does at large,

1200
00:49:09,100 --> 00:49:10,860
we didn't dive into the app.

1201
00:49:10,860 --> 00:49:13,260
The best of the best visionaries and leaders in the world

1202
00:49:13,260 --> 00:49:15,060
will appreciate the fact that we just got to know

1203
00:49:15,060 --> 00:49:17,700
the founder himself for who he is,

1204
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:19,940
what you're up to, what you stand for.

1205
00:49:19,940 --> 00:49:22,220
And that's what ultimately drives me

1206
00:49:22,220 --> 00:49:24,300
to want to connect with a brand and say,

1207
00:49:24,300 --> 00:49:26,420
you know what, I'm all about this brand.

1208
00:49:26,420 --> 00:49:28,020
I wanna see you succeed

1209
00:49:28,020 --> 00:49:30,100
and I wanna see the people that you're bringing in succeed.

1210
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:32,700
So Chris, I really appreciate you coming on today.

1211
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:34,540
We're gonna be, for those of you who wanna learn more,

1212
00:49:34,540 --> 00:49:37,980
of course, in the action steps on the landing page,

1213
00:49:37,980 --> 00:49:40,740
we'll be putting the links of how to connect with Chris

1214
00:49:40,740 --> 00:49:42,620
and where to find him on social media

1215
00:49:42,620 --> 00:49:44,900
and also how to leverage the resources that he has.

1216
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:49,900
Chris, any resources that you feel are a great starting point,

1217
00:49:49,900 --> 00:49:53,100
we'll talk about those after the show a little bit.

1218
00:49:53,100 --> 00:49:54,660
We'll make sure that we get those organized

1219
00:49:54,660 --> 00:49:56,540
so that we honor the vision

1220
00:49:56,540 --> 00:49:58,340
and help people take the next step.

1221
00:49:58,340 --> 00:49:59,500
And then down below that,

1222
00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:02,340
everybody will have the resources that we talked about,

1223
00:50:02,340 --> 00:50:03,780
the books that we talked about,

1224
00:50:03,780 --> 00:50:07,500
some of the other leaders that we've talked about as well.

1225
00:50:07,500 --> 00:50:09,060
We'll make sure to link to those.

1226
00:50:09,060 --> 00:50:11,460
And the last call to action on that page you'll see

1227
00:50:11,460 --> 00:50:12,860
is in the top right corner.

1228
00:50:12,860 --> 00:50:14,300
It says, be our guest.

1229
00:50:14,300 --> 00:50:15,720
If you wanna be a guest on this show

1230
00:50:15,720 --> 00:50:16,940
and talk about your vision,

1231
00:50:16,940 --> 00:50:18,700
as long as you're out to help other people

1232
00:50:18,700 --> 00:50:20,380
or you're a good leader who's striving

1233
00:50:20,380 --> 00:50:21,300
to become a better leader

1234
00:50:21,300 --> 00:50:23,980
and you're about helping people.

1235
00:50:23,980 --> 00:50:25,580
It doesn't have to be business related.

1236
00:50:25,580 --> 00:50:27,980
It doesn't have to be health related.

1237
00:50:27,980 --> 00:50:30,900
It can be everything from a stay at home parent

1238
00:50:30,900 --> 00:50:35,200
to somebody who walks dogs for their local neighborhood.

1239
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:36,540
I'm not here to judge that.

1240
00:50:36,540 --> 00:50:38,140
It's not about scale for everybody.

1241
00:50:38,140 --> 00:50:40,260
It's about service and helping others.

1242
00:50:40,260 --> 00:50:42,380
And if that's your vision, you wanna come and share it,

1243
00:50:42,380 --> 00:50:44,920
then don't hesitate to come on to Vision Pros Live.

1244
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,940
So without further ado,

1245
00:50:46,940 --> 00:50:48,820
we will see you guys on the next episode.

1246
00:50:48,820 --> 00:50:51,020

This is gonna get more and more fun.

1254
00:51:02,940 --> 00:51:04,740
We'll have more and more engagement as well.

1255
