1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:06,360
Well, you know, my vision comes from my own journey of life

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,480
mastery. And so my desire and vision for my impact in the

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,920
world is to see people, as I say, understand who they're

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,120
created to be so they can live the life they're created for. I

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,560
believe that's a call that needs to be had throughout the nation

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,760
that I'm in United States as well as the world.

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,000
Wow, tell me more about that.

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,600
Well, you know, I created a course and created a book and

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,200
I'm reaching out beyond what I'm doing. But the impact I believe

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,160
is supposed to be in understanding the person that

12
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,560
you're created to be versus the things that you've done, the

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,240
life that you've had and the things that you've struggled

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,360
with. In my own life, I've, you know, created businesses,

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,600
academically succeeded at, you know, the level I desire to as

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,480
well as athletically, the challenge I had in my own life

17
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:53,240
was that the person that I wanted to be didn't always show

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,080
up fear of failure, imposter syndrome, and some of those

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,320
challenges came along with it. And in creating a course in

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,960
writing the book Life Mastery Living Life by Design, not by

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,080
default, and having the conversations with clients and

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,080
students and people who have read it and, you know, podcasts

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,280
and other things that have been a part of, I found that that's a

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,720
universal struggle and challenge that a lot of times we desire

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,640
for more than where we're at. But because we don't have what I

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,960
call the blueprint to get there, we allow ourselves to hold back

27
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:28,080
and to, you know, water down our dreams to the life that we're

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,000
able to control versus really being, as I say, with the

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,320
clients that I work with being unleashed as a hero that you're

30
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:34,080
created to be.

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Wow. What is your story? What are what is your story? What are

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,120
you created to be Mark?

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,440
I'm created to be a person of impact. You know, the general

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200
story, which is universal for everybody was there's, you know,

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,840
the life that I'm meant to have an impact in the person and the

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,720
passion that I've created to have on the inside, to have

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,600
unleashed in the world. And so for me, it's really helping

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,880
guide and care and develop and nurture and coach and mentor

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,600
individuals to, to be able to live out that life for themselves

40
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,920
to bring hope to people who maybe don't have it in their own

41
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:12,080
life and, and to be able to bring tools and resources, not

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,440
just from my own story and strategy, but from my own

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,400
understanding and wisdom and the intellect that I've gained and

44
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,680
the, you know, experience that I've had throughout all the

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,920
things that I've been doing and, and been creating in my own

46
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:25,760
life. It's a, you know, if you were looking at in a spiritual

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,040
sense, it would be a shepherd, you know, mentor a coach, you

48
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,640
know, it's something I've done since I was a young person in

49
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,880
my life, even, even with dealing with, you know, feelings of,

50
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:39,960
you know, insecurity and maybe not feeling valued, I still was

51
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,240
desiring and gave impact by speaking into other people's

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,560
life and encouraging and carrying that out. So who I am

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,200
today is just a greater version of who I used to be with, you

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,880
know, without the hindrances of the lies that I believed holding

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,760
me back. That's awesome. Would you say that that is also your

56
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,280
why?

57
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:08,560
My why? Here's the challenge, right? My why really comes from

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,280
the things that I didn't have. And so for me, I created

59
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,640
life mastery and I wrote the book Life Mastery Living Life by

60
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,400
Design because I found a lot of courses and personal

61
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,040
developments, you know, systems and books and those things out

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,400
there that brought change, that brought habits and in those

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,640
habits, you can find some good outcomes, right? You can help to

64
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,400
manage your anger, help to hold back fear, you can give yourself

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,640
action steps to overcome, you know, procrastination and those

66
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,600
things in your life. But what I found in my own life was simply

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,040
this that the habit you use to get there is a habit you'll have

68
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,600
to keep using to stay there. And so I found change that you could

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,760
create but not transformation that you could live. And in

70
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,640
creating life mastery, finding a transformational course that I

71
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240
created because I couldn't find one that I could use, I wanted

72
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,240
other people to have that resource. And so my why is

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,920
really being able to give people the resources that I wished I

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,200
had, and giving them the ability to have those things, the

75
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,320
blueprint that I created was the one that I needed. And my why is

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,760
ensuring that other people won't have that struggle in their

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,640
life that nobody will have to be left with the life that they're

78
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,280
left with versus the one that they're created for.

79
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,920
That's awesome. That's a very noble goal, I would say. Very

80
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,880
noble goal. I appreciate it. How did you get started in all of

81
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:38,360
this? My start in creating and developing the business really

82
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,000
started with me needing it in my own life. And it was that journey

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,840
that I talked about, you know, growing up with a dad that I

84
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:47,600
didn't feel like I could measure up to dealing with, you know,

85
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,840
academic challenges and issues in your life. And, you know, all

86
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,280
of the everybody has a life, everybody has a past. And what I

87
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:56,240
tell people is you're either living from your identity, or

88
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,680
what your life has told you you are. And so for me that what my

89
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,800
life told me was that, you know, I wasn't as good as I couldn't

90
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,040
have the success as other people could. And, and all of those

91
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,200
things that you know, we all have those thought life, thoughts

92
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,400
that tell us things about ourselves, growing up in that

93
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,440
area, and really still believing on the inside that there was

94
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,040
more for me, there was more on the inside than when I was

95
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,280
living on the outside, I was reaching out for those personal

96
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:25,120
development courses and those things to have that happen. And

97
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,960
in my late 20s really started to try and find, you know, faith

98
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,320
walk in my own life. And in that found instruction of really

99
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,600
being able to understand, you know, what identity was and how

100
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,840
I could implement it in my life and how to master my thoughts,

101
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,840
words and actions, which is our three step transformational

102
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,920
process, really, like a lot of our clients really trying to

103
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,800
figure it out in my own life. And then in finding something

104
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,600
that I thought was amazing or transformational, really wanting

105
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,920
to share it with friends and family like yourself, I'm sure,

106
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,760
you know, you try and share with people that you know that you

107
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,680
want to have have an impact in their life as well, and then

108
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,040
created structures around it and a whole system that, you know,

109
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,280
became life mastery. And then at that point, being able to kind

110
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,480
of reach out beyond friend groups and people that you know,

111
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,160
and relationships to try and invest it in everybody else that

112
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,520
I was able to have to the opportunity to teach to coach and

113
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,120
to mentor.

114
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:16,920
That's awesome.

115
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,080
I have

116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,840
a lot more questions for you.

117
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,480
First one is then what is your goal for being on the shores of

118
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,000
a mark?

119
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,320
Well, you know, there's a general goal I always have for

120
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,360
conversation. And what I told a friend today was, you know, I

121
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,520
have a message that I believe matters. It certainly matters to

122
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,360
me. And I believe that it matters to other people. And so

123
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,560
my desire is to

124
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,400
find the communities that the message matters with and let

125
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,640
them know first and foremost that there's hope there's more

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,400
than where they're currently at, whatever level of success that

127
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,480
I have people that I work with who are highly successful and

128
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,200
people who are just striving to become successful in business

129
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,920
and, and in their workplace and all of that. And the interesting

130
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,360
thing is, the one thing I find that's in common is that people

131
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,120
can be very successful in their life, while still struggling

132
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,560
with imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and some of the things

133
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,800
that I did. And so, for me, it's finding those people that the

134
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,800
message matters to whether you're highly successful, you

135
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,520
know, look good on the outside, but on the inside, you have

136
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,520
those three o'clock in the morning, you know, you're

137
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,880
inside, you have those three o'clock in the morning times

138
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,760
where you're waking up sweating because you're trying to figure

139
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,080
out a payroll or you're just somebody who hopes you can start

140
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,200
a business or get a promotion or you're trying to do things in

141
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,960
your life and, and you're hesitating and holding back and

142
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,120
really not believing but hoping, you know, trying to find those

143
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,920
people and you know, in this conversation, people who are

144
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,960
hopefully listening to it. First off, we'll find hope that there

145
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,200
is a solution, there is a blueprint to get to where I want

146
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,960
to be. And second off, there's actually tangible strategies to

147
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,960
be able to do it.

148
00:07:49,960 --> 00:08:01,080
I have, like I said, a lot more questions, but I don't know

149
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:07,360
which way to take it. Okay. Let's, let's take it this way. I

150
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,880
think, I think that will be the most helpful part and I think I

151
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:18,120
can ask you more about that. What tips do you have for

152
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,120
leaders?

153
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,240
That's a great question, Ari. I think the first thing is the

154
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,200
foundation of what we talk about in Life Mastery, which is that

155
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,400
your, your leadership, your ability to succeed and not just

156
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,160
succeed but have fulfillment, not just momentary success, your

157
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,880
ability to have the impact in the world that you're, I believe,

158
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,680
were created for, first and foremost, starts with identity.

159
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:45,240
It starts with understanding who you're created to be versus your

160
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,320
outcomes. The problem is in most business and jobs and

161
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,560
professions and even academically, many times people

162
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:56,240
think that I am my outcomes. So if I get that, you know,

163
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,360
college degree, that, you know, whatever, that accelerated

164
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,440
degree, if I, if I succeed in business, if I have that

165
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,880
position in my job that has that nice title associated with it,

166
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,600
now I'm somebody of worth. And the problem is, as I said, I have,

167
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,520
you know, people that I've worked with that are highly

168
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,920
successful in business, but they didn't feel successful because

169
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,240
they still had fear of failure that was coming along for the

170
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,600
ride. And so for me, what I tell the people I work with is first

171
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,680
off, strip away the things that you do from who you are. Who you

172
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,920
are is the impact you're supposed to have. It has nothing

173
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,080
to do with your income. Your income is a product of who you

174
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,600
are. Your, who you are isn't a product of your income. And so

175
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,080
whether I'm a multimillionaire or a person that's making

176
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,800
minimum wage, does that change the value and who you are as a

177
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,880
person? No, it doesn't. And so just because I have a title

178
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,000
doesn't mean I'm somebody who has it all together, again, from

179
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,960
personal experience and experience with the clients that

180
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,600
I work with. So the first tip is strip away who you believe you

181
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,560
are, the things that you think or make you who you are, and

182
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,640
start with who you were created to be. What's, what's an I am

183
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,400
statement you can create? What's something you can write down

184
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,880
that's who you are apart from your, your stuff, your position,

185
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,120
your title, your role, your possessions, your income, who's

186
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,640
that person? Because that's the person that matters. Whether

187
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,320
you're successful in business or not, whether you have a job or

188
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,160
you lose a job, whether you have a 678 figure income, or you only

189
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,360
make minimum wage, as I said before, your value is in who you

190
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,240
are. That's the secret sauce in whatever you're doing as a

191
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,920
business leader in the boardroom, as an entrepreneur

192
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,960
who's creating products that are selling for millions, or as a

193
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,520
stay at home mom or a student in college. That's the secret sauce.

194
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,080
And then the second tool I would give the second tip is this, I

195
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,200
tell people that I work with that you are the sum product of

196
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,720
your thoughts, what I tell them is literally this, you are today,

197
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,440
where you're at, because of the thoughts you have, who you think

198
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,960
you are, you'll become. So you want to change the thoughts that

199
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,720
you have, you want to change where you're at your trajectory

200
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,040
in life, the income that you have, or you want to change, you

201
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,240
know, the outcomes. So I'm not just having success that lasts

202
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,760
for a moment, because it feels empty, because it's not meaning,

203
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,600
it's not bringing the meaning I desire to you. When you want to

204
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,120
have a life that's fulfilling it first and foremost starts with

205
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,440
your thoughts and your thoughts always start with who you are,

206
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,560
who were you created to be your thoughts are either aligning

207
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:15,080
with who you were created to be, or they're lying to you. And if

208
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080
they're lying to me, then I need a job, I need a position, I need

209
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,000
income to make up the difference, I need a relationship

210
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,840
with somebody amazing, because I don't feel amazing about myself.

211
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,280
But in that place where I understand who I'm created to be

212
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,360
in my thoughts aligned with that person. Now all of a sudden, I'm

213
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,360
being unleashed in the world. Like I said before, you're

214
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,680
unleashed as a hero you're created to be. I'm not a

215
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:37,760
bystander in my life, so that I'm just responding to what the

216
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,080
world gives me. But I'm a hero in my life being the response

217
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,320
that the world needs.

218
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,040
Wow, there's a lot of information you unpacked there.

219
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,920
Have you read the book, As a Man Thinketh by James Allen?

220
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,760
Yeah, great book. One of many that I've read. Yeah, it's a

221
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:54,520
really good book.

222
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,760
I think some of the things that you were saying, I want to say

223
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,480
because it stems from that book.

224
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,240
It's definitely an alignment. I think we have the same source.

225
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:12,160
Yeah, I think that's what I was going for. I think there's

226
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,440
definitely conundrum when people don't understand who they are as

227
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:23,480
an anchor to themselves and try to achieve some things maybe or

228
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,960
maybe not get it and then get there and they're not, sometimes

229
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:32,840
they're not happy, sometimes they are. And that anchor feels

230
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,720
them centered. So is for you, what is that? Is your anchor,

231
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,520
your goal that who you're meant to be as a coach and a business

232
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,600
owner? What do you look to?

233
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,040
My anchor is my created value in living from that place. If who

234
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,840
I'm created to be is lived out in every area of my life, then I

235
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,600
have a life that's amazing. Not because I have more income than

236
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,240
other people or more possessions than they do. But because, you

237
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,160
know, Harriet's this thing, I'm sure you felt it. And maybe some

238
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,800
of the listeners or people are watching as well. You're doing

239
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,960
something and you just know, man, this is exactly what I'm

240
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,280
created to be. This is exactly me living out right. So time just

241
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,920
flies by and you skip meals or whatever it is, right? You're

242
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,320
disappointed when you have to stop doing it because you know

243
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,480
that man, I'm just passionate about this thing. It's the you

244
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,840
thing in the world. Well, that's what life mastery is. It's the

245
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,680
you thing being lived out. Not me doing something because I need

246
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:30,360
the outcome to prove who I am, but me just really being

247
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,200
unleashed. Like I said, it's that that passion that has, you

248
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,240
know, that is continually burning inside of you that you

249
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,560
just can't wait to do it again. You don't want to stop when you

250
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:42,880
start it. And it's just you being invested as you that's,

251
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,640
that's what life mastery looks like. And so for me, that's what

252
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,120
I mean. It's, it's the impact that you're supposed to make.

253
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,160
It's that place that we're going for in life mastery. It's a

254
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,200
place of me being unleashed and who I'm created to be at the

255
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,400
highest level I'm created to be in every area of life.

256
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,520
If you could give me a glimpse of who you're created to be on

257
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,680
the highest level, you're created to be in every area of

258
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:09,720
life, what would that look like?

259
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,080
Effortless, effortless excellence. So whether it's, you

260
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,680
know, I we say in life master, there's five spheres of life

261
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:20,200
master, it's spiritually, relationally, vocationally,

262
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,560
physically, financially, spiritually, relationally,

263
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,440
vocationally, physically, financially. What that looks

264
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,200
like is me living at the highest level that I'm created for in

265
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,080
each of these areas. vocationally, it's me having the

266
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,920
worldwide impact that I desire to have so that thousands of

267
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,680
people will walk in the freedom and the life master that they're

268
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,480
created for. Physically, it's so that I can be the person that

269
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,960
I'm created to be living vibrantly and healthy,

270
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,480
intellectually and physically, every day of my life till the

271
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,520
last day of my life. I could I could name that in all five

272
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,320
areas, I have vision statements and goals in each of these five

273
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,320
areas. So it's, it's that life, financially, it's living at such

274
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,880
a level that I not only have the income that I that I believe I'm

275
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,800
created to have to be able to steward and give not just so

276
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,280
that I can have possessions and I can have, you know, those

277
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,440
attributes and those bank accounts, but so that I can

278
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,800
invest in the things that matter to my creator and matter to me.

279
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,560
So yeah, I have, I have a vision statement in each of the areas,

280
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,880
I have goals in each of them. And I live out from each of those

281
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,600
in my life. That's, that's why it looks like in my life.

282
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,480
That's awesome. I don't know if I believe in now, but I know

283
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,120
definitely you believe in it, you believe in you live every

284
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,760
day. And I think that's what your clients look for. Or people

285
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,280
that you serve look for is if you believe in it.

286
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,560
Yeah, absolutely. And I and I think for them, I haven't met a

287
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,560
person yet that didn't believe there was more for their life

288
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,000
than where they were at. And the path to get there the blueprint,

289
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,880
if you will, as we talk about, you know, that may vary, but

290
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,000
there's, as far as I can tell, an innate desire in everybody

291
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,120
I've met, that I believe I'm meant for something that's

292
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:52,680
important.

293
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,200
I have one more question for you, Mark. And you can take your

294
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,760
time to think about it. What to you defines a great leader?

295
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:11,880
Yeah, that's a great question. That's a great question. And so

296
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,880
I would tell you this in the people that I lead, my, my

297
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,560
mandate in leadership is to live the life that I'm created for.

298
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,040
And we've talked and unpacked a lot of that here, but also to

299
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,400
empower the people around me and the people that I have the

300
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,080
ability to oversee and to lead the people around me. And I

301
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,160
have the ability to oversee and to lead to be able to do it in

302
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,640
their own life. At the end of the day, my success as a

303
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,840
leader is ensuring that the people that are working for me

304
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,240
that I am leading are unleashed in the hero journey that they

305
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,960
have, that the person that they're created to be finds an

306
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,240
avenue to be lived out to be worked out, so that they have

307
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,480
the impact in the world that they're created for if I can

308
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,720
help them to create the atmosphere and the tools and

309
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,040
structures in their life so that they can live that out, then

310
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,560
that's the thing I'm supposed to. If I'm not doing that, then

311
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,200
they're really working for me. And in that place, they're

312
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,680
really working and I'm a manager, not a leader.

313
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,920
So to you, if you have given them the tools, resources and

314
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,680
the path where they can become their best selves in the area of

315
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,000
their lives, you, you, you think that's a great leader.

316
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,840
Exactly. And by the way, that doesn't mean that they'll always

317
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,960
be under my umbrella. In fact, in most cases, it means that

318
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,160
they're going to go off to do their own things. But at the end

319
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,840
of the day, I get the best of them while they're there because

320
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,040
they get the best of them and all that they do. And we both

321
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:40,680
win in that.

322
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:49,960
And how, how do you measure the best of them? That's a very

323
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,600
vague question.

324
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,320
Well, it starts with them, right? This journey that I'm

325
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,320
walking on Life Mastery, understanding who I'm created to

326
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,360
be, the life I'm created for those areas, those five areas of

327
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:03,080
the spheres of Life Mastery where I have goals and, and

328
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,880
vision statements in each of those. Those are things you have

329
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,720
to develop yourself. I can, I can, just like I do with my

330
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,120
coaching course, I can provide you with the resources, give you

331
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:15,480
the strategies and the tools, but it's up to you to say, hey,

332
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,800
this is what resonates with me. That passion thing that you and

333
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,240
I talked about earlier, where it's literally me living out who

334
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,200
I'm created to be, where I'm just giving all of it. And I, I'm

335
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,880
actually energized by it, not drained by it. That's different

336
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,000
for every person. It could be an administration. It could be an

337
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,880
artistic endeavor. You know, it could be in some sort of

338
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,120
accounting endeavor, whatever the thing is, it really is

339
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:39,480
different for every person, but it's not my job to create your

340
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,080
vision for you. It's my job to empower you with the tools to be

341
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,800
able to live out the vision you have for your life.

342
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,040
