1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,840
I was like, and this time, you can do it.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,400
I won't necessarily give signals.

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,080
Sometimes I will, but feel free to just share as you see fit

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,960
because we have so much depth of vision exploration.

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,200
You've advanced your program so much since we first met you

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,560
that this is, to me, one of the most exciting episodes

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,600
we could possibly have because I wonder

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,200
how much of our audience that comes back

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,140
wants to see the then and now, the progress that happens.

10
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:29,840
And so many of the visionaries that we talk to,

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,720
there's not a lot to show.

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,560
In your case, there's all sorts of stuff to show.

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,640
You've been crushing it in so many different levels.

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,220
So if you were to think back over the last year,

15
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:44,200
Sue, what things have surprised you the most?

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,760
What things have advanced the most, in your opinion?

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,280
Well, basically the whole year.

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,840
I mean, it's been nuts.

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,680
I think overall, if I had to put it in a simple way

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,280
of saying it, it would be finding out the holes that I had

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,960
that made businesses that I've got or building.

22
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:07,360
It made them impossible.

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,960
They were going to fail because I had so many gaps in that.

24
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,700
I came up during hustle culture, work, work, work.

25
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:18,480
You can sleep when you're dead, do it yourself.

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,840
Definitely do it yourself.

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,680
This was-

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,080
You can sleep when you're dead.

29
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,920
I love that.

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,200
When you're dead, or go outside.

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,720
You can play and relax and be with your family

32
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,360
when you're done with everything.

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,920
When does that ever happen?

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,760
Right?

35
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,600
But I bought it.

36
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,920
Not unless you intentionally change it, right?

37
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,760
Exactly.

38
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,360
And I bought it for 17 years.

39
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,200
It's ridiculous.

40
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,480
So over the past year, that has been the biggest thing going,

41
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,680
now, wait a second.

42
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,800
That was not sustainable.

43
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,800
I did it for a life and we're going to work.

44
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,720
I would have figured that out.

45
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,040
And look at this entrepreneurretreatcenter.com.

46
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,160
You have this launch now.

47
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,680
You launched this while I was in Panama.

48
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,040
I had no idea until like two minutes ago.

49
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,600
I'm like, whoa, cool.

50
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,600
Ida Wildwood's Retreat Center

51
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,200
has a representation of itself.

52
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,320
But I love that you focus on what matters more than that.

53
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,160
Right?

54
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,200
There's that facade and there's the vanity side.

55
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,560
And it's not like our clothes aren't important, right?

56
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,600
But you getting responsibly naked, let's say,

57
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,320
with the vulnerability of like,

58
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,560
I have a lot to learn as a business leader.

59
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,240
Like, good for you for recognizing and highlighting that.

60
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,080
Let me let you go back to it.

61
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,120
But I wanted to say while we were looking at this,

62
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,600
that the Retreat Center website

63
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,240
and these updates people are about to see,

64
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,280
like you're constantly showing people

65
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,440
how you're moving these mountains.

66
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,800
So, but let's go back Sue.

67
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Let's go back to what you're talking about.

68
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,960
Yeah, so it was like, again,

69
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,200
like if anybody's read the E-Myth,

70
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,080
which I reread thanks to you, thank you, thank you.

71
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,400
The whole thing with an org chart

72
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,240
and that whole concept of there is,

73
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,600
it is literally impossible for one person to do everything

74
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,160
that needs to get done in order to actually serve.

75
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,080
Maybe if you're, maybe there's some universal.

76
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,800
Maybe, I've never met him.

77
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,280
I don't know, I don't even wanna be there

78
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,000
cause that's just not it.

79
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,240
What I've realized over this past year is that,

80
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,240
especially Idlewild Woods Retreat Center,

81
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,320
this is such a big project that there is no,

82
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,120
I'm so grateful it's so huge

83
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,960
cause there's no earthly way I could do this on my own.

84
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,520
It's not gonna happen.

85
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,080
And having gotten to this point where,

86
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,920
everybody talks about what's your why.

87
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,880
Early in the year, I kind of stumbled onto,

88
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,880
wait, no, it's really more like who's your who?

89
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Cause that will motivate me.

90
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,360
A why is about me.

91
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Oh, I wanna leave a legacy for my kids.

92
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,320
I wanna, that's about me.

93
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,200
This is, that's not necessarily gonna motivate

94
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,640
and keep somebody going.

95
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600
But when you've got a who that you're thinking about,

96
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,360
whole other thing, right?

97
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,640
So we are living in a barn.

98
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,280
It started off off grid.

99
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,480
I gotta check cause I record every week,

100
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,520
what do we do this week?

101
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,480
What do we do this week?

102
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,920
And so sometime back in around May, June, July,

103
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,280
we got power to the barn.

104
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,480
Before that, there was nothing.

105
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,440
So hard.

106
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,560
Yeah, it's a little weird.

107
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,160
And we chose this.

108
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,880
I was 57 when we, no, 56 when we moved up here.

109
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,360
I'm 57 now, my husband's a year older.

110
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,040
This is not normal late 50s type behavior, gotta say.

111
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,280
And I love it.

112
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:21,200
I love being connected to you guys.

113
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,920
Plus everybody who's listening in,

114
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,640
when Sue and I talked about how do you eat an elephant,

115
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,760
her response is best of all time.

116
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,080
She said, you wrap it in bacon.

117
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,720
One bite at a time wrapped in bacon.

118
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,600
I was like, that is so, that's so you.

119
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,360
You're so outside of the box

120
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,120
and you bring so much joy and passion

121
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,720
and you're building this amazing retreat center.

122
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,920
Again, keep going Sue.

123
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Yeah, man.

124
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,160
You know, seeing, we've, you know,

125
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,160
for a while we didn't even have a porta potty.

126
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,800
We were, you know, like-

127
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,640
In the woods.

128
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,080
The answer to the question is

129
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,440
whether a bear does in the woods.

130
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,320
Oh yes.

131
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,120
I guess I was a bear, right?

132
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,480
But what kept me going is this passion

133
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,080
that I have for entrepreneurs.

134
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,840
Jackson, I know you see this

135
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,440
or you wouldn't be working with us.

136
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,280
Right.

137
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:07,520
It's this sense of we take ownership of a problem

138
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,400
we didn't cause.

139
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Then we find, we devote ourselves

140
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,720
to making a solution for other people.

141
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,680
And that's the whole nature of business, you know?

142
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,520
And that-

143
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,560
I hope you write some materials on that

144
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,400
if you haven't already.

145
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,200
That was so beautifully said

146
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,240
and I've never thought about it that way before.

147
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,080
It's true though, if you think about that.

148
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,400
Like we all had a problem.

149
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Probably we had a problem and we solved it.

150
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,920
Like, great, you got this problem too.

151
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,760
I can help you with that.

152
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,840
Well, you brought up a good point though.

153
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:37,120
You also said sometimes it's a problem that's not ours.

154
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:37,960
Right.

155
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,600
And that reminded me of like, yeah, I was in Uruguay

156
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,240
when I got told, you know, like when I realized that, ah,

157
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,960
my mission is great and my missionary work was important

158
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,720
but I needed to get home, take advantage of my education,

159
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,600
learn about business and help as many places

160
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,520
like that as possible.

161
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,840
And it was, it wasn't my problem, you know?

162
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,960
But I was the one who was called to solve that, you know?

163
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,560
And so those are my favorite types of entrepreneurs

164
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,040
to work with too is the ones who see outside of themselves.

165
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Like, man, there's things like Junaid with his media school

166
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,840
and helping make sure that he gives a voice

167
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,160
to the underrepresented.

168
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:18,040
Like there's so, those are the leaders who really,

169
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,360
like I don't wanna say they're the ones

170
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,560
who all people inspire me.

171
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,720
But those are the ones that I know I can help.

172
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,000
Those are the ones that I know I can make a big impact with

173
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,400
and then my kids will look at that legacy

174
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,320
and be like, that's cool.

175
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,160
Dad did that.

176
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,680
Like dad was a superhero.

177
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,080
I can't believe that.

178
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,280
I don't know about that but.

179
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:35,400
Well, they will, they will.

180
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,240
You don't have to know it.

181
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,320
They do, you know?

182
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,160
Yeah.

183
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,440
And it's so true like that.

184
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,800
It's that sense of if, you know,

185
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,280
when you have a calling on your heart.

186
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:43,520
We hired Sue by the way.

187
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,600
This is where you're looking at is actual proposal.

188
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,000
Those who wanna pause and look at it.

189
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,240
Cynthia is just showing stuff.

190
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,640
She's showing all this stuff that has come through

191
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,840
and she came in as a guest on our show.

192
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,480
I went on as a guest on her show

193
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,960
and entrepreneur has gone wild as well.

194
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Go check that show out for sure.

195
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,280
We passed some screen share on that.

196
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,520
And then she came in as a client

197
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,080
to work with us at First Class Business

198
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,400
and do our power launch stuff.

199
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,880
And then I got to see how awesome she is at what she does

200
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,120
with her other company, Triumph Communications and copy.

201
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,960
And we've got awesome needs for copy and opportunities there.

202
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520
So then I turned around and gave her back all the money

203
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,080
that she gave us in addition to plenty more money

204
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,200
because she's an amazing provider

205
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,600
and she knows how to get the right things done

206
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,880
and be executive and develop with productivity

207
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,840
and profitability.

208
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,840
So you never know where opportunities can go

209
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,320
if we stop asking dumb questions that put people in a box.

210
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,520
You know, like, Sue, is this gonna turn into something

211
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,960
where I have to pay from you?

212
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,400
I'm like, what did you just, what did that person just do?

213
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,480
They just cornered somebody into a position of like,

214
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,000
I don't even know if I wanna engage

215
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,640
in this conversation anymore.

216
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,240
So I'm super happy to say that we've contracted

217
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,080
Triumph Communications to help us on copy.

218
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,600
And it has been a massive breath of fresh air

219
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,840
to have somebody by my side who understands our heart,

220
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,720
our mind, what we're up to.

221
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400
And then I can turn those opportunities over to,

222
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,120
and you can engage in my team,

223
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,800
you can dive into resources, you know how to do it.

224
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,440
You don't fear doing so.

225
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,680
There's so many value opportunities there

226
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,800
because you are a phenomenal copywriting leader.

227
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,120
You understand how all that stuff works.

228
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,320
And in addition to that,

229
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,800
we've got this really cool retreat center

230
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,640
that we're getting ready to launch

231
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,920
and that you're gonna be able to take,

232
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,280
you do the soft opening for,

233
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,720
when is the soft opening on the retreat center?

234
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,040
I'm thinking it's gonna be beginning of May

235
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,760
because our first dome, we're getting geodesic dome

236
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,080
and it's coming from Canada.

237
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,760
It should ship next Wednesday.

238
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,000
And so tack on about eight weeks probably

239
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,920
to do the build for inside and that'll be it.

240
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,200
So.

241
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,280
I am so excited about this.

242
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,960
Retreat centers for entrepreneurs.

243
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,440
Think my friends, you hosting a retreat for entrepreneurs,

244
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,440
a mastermind style event or an event for like podfests,

245
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,960
like hosting podfests out there.

246
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,720
And now instead of being in a, don't get me wrong,

247
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,840
I like the luxury hotels too.

248
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,120
I like being in the city,

249
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,880
but we're talking about connecting people back to nature

250
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,280
and giving them the, and this right now, the soft opening,

251
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,240
how many would you host?

252
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,000
Like 10 people or 20?

253
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,480
No, so just one dome.

254
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,880
So, I mean, it depends on how good friends they are.

255
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,840
It's more comfortably, you can fit 10

256
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,720
if you wanna like really stack them in.

257
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,560
But that's just the first.

258
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:25,520
Perfect, so again, we're talking about a soft opening

259
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,640
of an intimate two to four people going.

260
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,560
I mean, this would be a co-founder's retreat

261
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:31,760
for instance, right?

262
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,360
Then later you're going to have other domes

263
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,400
and other environments.

264
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,720
I have a friend, a past friend, I should say that.

265
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,680
We have somebody who went and stayed with you

266
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:45,320
and they decided to go camping, right?

267
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,280
I think that's awesome.

268
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,280
And so people are into camping too.

269
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,200
What a great opportunity.

270
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,600
I know some entrepreneurs that are into building,

271
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,040
creating like materials for camping and stuff like that.

272
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,920
And that could be people into Patagonia, you know?

273
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,400
It's like, okay, you're all ready to go.

274
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,320
But I love that you're doing the soft launch

275
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,960
and making this available for people.

276
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,640
And what, there's no better opportunity

277
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,920
for people to come in right now and get a better price.

278
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,600
For sure, yeah, we're doing like 75% off, it's crazy.

279
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Absolutely, it gives you guys experience.

280
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,240
It gives them experience.

281
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,040
You guys get to envision with them.

282
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,920
Those entrepreneurs then have the opportunity as well

283
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,880
to be part of this.

284
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,720
Yeah, oh yeah.

285
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,640
Your first guest, one of our first guests,

286
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,480
because we've taken some presales.

287
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,800
So one is coming to write his book.

288
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,600
It's a guy I've been talking to for 15 years.

289
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,440
Like write your book, man, write your book.

290
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,480
He's a single dad.

291
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,840
He is the most incredible parent.

292
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,320
It's amazing and he's finally doing it.

293
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,600
And he said, I wanna write it there.

294
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,080
I'm like, yes, you know?

295
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,200
Wow, that's huge.

296
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,560
Cause now they're a little bit more off the grid, right?

297
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:54,120
There's less distraction in that environment.

298
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Oh man, that is so cool.

299
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,080
Keep going, Sue.

300
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,320
I'm just like, getting this vision out.

301
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,400
Yeah, no, I was like, like our first guests, you know,

302
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,040
we're gonna feed them, we're gonna do everything.

303
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,680
They've got basically 30 acres to themselves.

304
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,200
We're at the bottom of the hill.

305
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,520
They're up on the right, you know, which is-

306
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,800
You got a porta potty now or something like that?

307
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,040
They will have, so these are off grid, but they're not rough.

308
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,520
We're making it as luxurious as it can possibly be.

309
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,960
Like the most comfortable bed you've ever slept in probably.

310
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520
A rainwater shower, an off grid toilet.

311
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,360
Don't be scared.

312
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,600
It's totally fine.

313
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,720
We've been using one for a year almost.

314
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,560
It's great.

315
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,800
Wood fired hot tub, wood fired sauna, this type of thing.

316
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,280
And internet will be up there.

317
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,480
But you know, if somebody wants us to hold their stuff,

318
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,920
like, hey, take my gadgets, cause they're distracting me.

319
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,800
We can put them in a safe for you.

320
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,520
Wow.

321
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,040
It's gonna be so cool.

322
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,120
So by May, you're already gonna have those amenities.

323
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,440
You already do have those amenities in place to where-

324
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,680
Some of these are in the process right now.

325
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:00,120
We've been experimenting with,

326
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,120
we love to do like, this is so cool.

327
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,920
This is so freaking cool, Juxi.

328
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,720
So there's a lot of businesses that have byproducts

329
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,440
that they can't, they have to pay to get rid of, right?

330
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,480
And we can use them.

331
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,240
So we build stuff from this.

332
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,880
So one thing would be mill ends from a sawmill.

333
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,000
They got us get rid of it.

334
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,200
Were they gonna burn it, you know, sell it?

335
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,040
I don't know.

336
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,920
So we go up and we pick them up

337
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,280
and we were able to build incredible things from this

338
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,080
without, you know, any further energy use.

339
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,760
You know, it's just like super green, I guess.

340
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,440
The other one is pallets.

341
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,120
So we're using pallets for a lot of building things.

342
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,000
We also had a tree service come through

343
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,240
and they were, you know, doing the whole county.

344
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,880
We're like, we'll take all your chips.

345
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,800
They're like, how many do you want?

346
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,040
I'm like, all of them.

347
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,320
So we're able to use these things.

348
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,160
So some of this is going into like the saunas

349
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,560
are gonna be built.

350
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:53,040
Pallets are part of their construction process,

351
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,080
which is like, oh my gosh.

352
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,200
No, that's so sustainable too.

353
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,520
It is, it's like, this is amazing.

354
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,200
We're helping them, they're helping us.

355
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,640
And it comes out fantastic for the guests.

356
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,360
So really cool with that.

357
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,960
The big dream is to have about 20 of these geodesic domes.

358
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,520
So we'll be able to house, what, four times 20,

359
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,440
you know, 80 people or more,

360
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,760
if they squeeze in a little bit more.

361
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,840
And a venue that we'll see a hundred.

362
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,760
And then I found, so I go and walks through the property

363
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,000
all the time now.

364
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
And I love it, get great ideas.

365
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,960
This is exactly what I want for the guests.

366
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,880
Go for a walk, get a great idea.

367
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,800
So I was walking and I'm like, huh,

368
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,320
there's this like gully in the woods

369
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,160
that where a couple of Hills are kind of meeting.

370
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,000
I'm like, we could build an amphitheater there.

371
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000
That would be cool.

372
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,600
You know, so a little stage and seating for about a hundred.

373
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,600
That's going to go in a big like yoga deck.

374
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,800
I keep calling it, but you could do other things.

375
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,720
It could be an event on the, yeah.

376
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,720
But like one after another,

377
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,360
the ideas just keep coming to me while we're here.

378
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,280
And I'm talking with people and finding out like,

379
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,440
what do you like, I've got a survey going now for coaches.

380
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,800
I'm like, what do you want here?

381
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,640
We'll build a suit essentially.

382
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,920
Oh, you want hammocks?

383
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,320
We're going to do hammocks, you know,

384
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,920
whatever it is that you want.

385
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,160
But it's so cool.

386
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Just like having these conversations with people

387
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,320
rather than guessing what people are going to want,

388
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,680
talk to them, find out, and then make it.

389
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,040
It's adaptable, right?

390
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,080
There's so many.

391
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,720
And that goes back to the conversations about copy,

392
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,560
even right?

393
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,320
The digital market and aspects.

394
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,920
And really us having an open mind as entrepreneurs, right?

395
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,440
When we have an open mind, it helps.

396
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,040
When we have a provider that we trust

397
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,080
to guide us through those types of questions too,

398
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,440
same reality exists there.

399
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,720
One of the opportunities that I hope

400
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,080
the visionaries listening in do is learn to operate

401
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,160
based on more security, like remove fear from the equation.

402
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,200
And part of that is working with people who you can trust,

403
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,040
right?

404
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,920
Where it's like, I can be vulnerable and say, you know what?

405
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,280
I haven't done a retreat like this before.

406
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,560
How can you help?

407
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,720
And if I feel like I've been taken advantage

408
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,080
of my entire life in relation to events and coordinators

409
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,280
and the event coordinator is gonna rob me blind or et cetera,

410
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,160
I'm probably not going to be able to maximize

411
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,880
that experience.

412
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,160
Because I'm gonna be scared.

413
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,440
I don't know if I wanna pay for that.

414
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,600
I don't know if I really want this part of the equation.

415
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,160
It's so important to find people that we can trust

416
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,760
and we can build with without the worry and fear

417
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,280
because then you can create experiences

418
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,040
that are like once in a lifetime

419
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,480
and that are completely unique.

420
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,680
So I love that you do so much to show me

421
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,560
that it's just so easy to trust you.

422
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,400
And I can't wait to host our conferences there.

423
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,880
I wanna be involved sooner than later.

424
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,320
And as you know, we're traveling a lot right now.

425
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,480
So I'm like, how do I get to Tennessee?

426
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,160
How do I make sure that that becomes a priority?

427
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,160
And you are the only reason I want to go to Tennessee

428
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,000
by the way.

429
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,840
Nothing against it.

430
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,120
I know nothing against it

431
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,440
but I went to Panama two weeks ago.

432
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,960
We built the studio with Junaid

433
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,400
for Home Studio Mastery in Atlanta last week.

434
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,880
We've got San Diego coming up at the end of this month

435
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,600
with social media marketing world.

436
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,600
We've got VidCon over in Anaheim in June.

437
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,360
In between there, I'm going to Columbia and probably Peru

438
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,280
and to meet up with a team in Columbia.

439
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,640
And then in September, I've got Columbia again

440
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,040
for the event with the Voice Academy.

441
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,000
And in November, we're planning on going to Africa

442
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
for the water project.

443
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,040
And then I just planned last night a trip to the Philippines.

444
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,720
I had to get all the details in place

445
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,600
but to get to the Philippines,

446
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,560
you have to go several places first.

447
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,160
So I would hit Tokyo in the process, Manila.

448
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,280
I can't remember the city that most of my team lives in

449
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,120
down there.

450
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,320
And then Cebu was another city in the Philippines.

451
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,680
And it's gonna be like a 21 day trip

452
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,800
in order to make sure that we maximize each of those.

453
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,160
So Tennessee is still in there.

454
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,920
And so here's Panama.

455
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,680
And you're part of the copywriting process.

456
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,880
How do we distribute the information about what we did there

457
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,960
and what we're doing worldwide?

458
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,440
Junaid and I wanna get over to Pakistan as well.

459
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,280
And then Harry and I need to get over to India

460
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:15,360
and help out with the India launch.

461
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:18,240
So, but the retreat center,

462
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,200
it's very possible that we sneak something in with you guys

463
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,080
either in June or July.

464
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,320
I think that'd be amazing.

465
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,040
We've got to, we've gotta find a way to pull it together

466
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,120
because there's just too much opportunity

467
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,400
not to make that happen, you know?

468
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,240
Oh yeah.

469
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,440
I wanna be one of the first.

470
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,280
You need to be.

471
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,120
I want to be.

472
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:41,960
You need to be.

473
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,780
I want to be.

474
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:45,360
So I've gotta find a way to get there and make this happen

475
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,600
because it is such an awesome, awesome retreat center.

476
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,880
So we're gonna cut to a little break, Sue.

477
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,960
We're gonna go back, those of you listening in,

478
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,080
we've talked about Idlewildwood Retreat Center

479
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,880
and we've talked about Triumph Communications

480
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,780
and what Sue does for copy.

481
00:18:00,780 --> 00:18:03,220
But what you're getting is just like a firestorm

482
00:18:03,220 --> 00:18:06,280
and a hydrant of like, whoa, look at this visionary leader

483
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,160
and all she's doing and how it's interlaced

484
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,340
with what we're doing at Vision Pros Live,

485
00:18:11,340 --> 00:18:15,360
First Class Business, the Be Your Best Show.com,

486
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:17,640
Junaid's program, Home Studio Mastery

487
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,560
and what's going on there.

488
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,660
Like there's so much overlap.

489
00:18:20,660 --> 00:18:24,960
And this is what the compound effect does for your lives

490
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,160
when you're working with people who add to

491
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,360
and don't take away from.

492
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:31,200
And Sue has been one of the greatest additions

493
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,320
to both our team and our client base.

494
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,180
And I can't say enough praise about her.

495
00:18:35,180 --> 00:18:38,320
So we're gonna come back and do just that after the intro.

496
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,380
We'll see you guys on the other side.

497
00:18:39,380 --> 00:18:42,640
All right, welcome in to Vision Pros Live.

498
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,680
With Jackson Calame I'm your show host.

499
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,360
We will be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs

500
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:49,320
and guest leaders who are building

501
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,840
fantastic visions out there.

502
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,400
Hey, what's up everybody?

503
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,400
Welcome in to another episode of Vision Pros Live.

504
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,160
I'm so happy to be back.

505
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,080
I haven't done this in a while.

506
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,720
My team's been carrying the torch

507
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,640
and moving forward all sorts of episodes.

508
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,100
And today's episode is ultra special and ultra convoluted

509
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:18,040
because we're diving deep with a visionary

510
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,440
who's been on the show before.

511
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,180
So make sure to check out some of the pathway

512
00:19:22,180 --> 00:19:23,020
that led to this.

513
00:19:23,020 --> 00:19:27,000
But Sue Anderson is an absolute angel.

514
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,760
She's an absolute superhero.

515
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,840
She's an absolute rockstar.

516
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,560
She does so many great things.

517
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,040
We even hired her to do copy for our team and our projects.

518
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,960
And what's gone from what was me guesting

519
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,720
on Entrepreneurs Gone Wild, go check her show out as well.

520
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,240
She's also a super host.

521
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,080
And she's like an out of the box thinker

522
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,600
that comes out with the most amazing, authentic stories

523
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,840
and experiences.

524
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,360
Big into nature, of course, Entrepreneurs Gone Wild

525
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,000
and she came up with Vision Pros.

526
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,400
I cannot say enough about this leader

527
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,520
and all that she does and has done for what we're doing.

528
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,200
And all of you get the opportunity to go check out

529
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,680
this retreat center in Tennessee as well.

530
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,140
And we'll be hosting retreats there in the future.

531
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:10,320
That is one of our big visions

532
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,040
is to be able to host conferences over at her land

533
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,280
in space with these really cool domes.

534
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,120
We're gonna be outside.

535
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:18,760
And we'll talk about that more in a little bit,

536
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,840
but continue to follow and see what she's doing,

537
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,440
what she's building, because odds are what she's building

538
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,920
is quite grand in nature compared to what some

539
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:28,960
of you guys are building.

540
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,160
And what that means is when you can follow

541
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,720
in somebody's footsteps and model what they're up to,

542
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,880
if it's harder what they're doing,

543
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,200
odds are your path is gonna be that much easier

544
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,940
because they've paved a very big road

545
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,040
in front of you to follow.

546
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,120
So I highly recommend continuing to see what Sue has up to.

547
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:46,360
I'm gonna bring it back on in just a minute,

548
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:48,440
but I also wanna talk about and highlight

549
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,200
some of the sponsored opportunities,

550
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,040
some of the other resources that can help you

551
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:52,960
with your growth.

552
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,760
One of is opportunities for work.

553
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,880
Opportunities is our homegrown program.

554
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,640
Obreras de Trabajo para Latinos is the one

555
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,880
we're specifically gonna look at

556
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,360
because my Latino side of this operation has taken off

557
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:06,400
and is expanding quite rapidly.

558
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,200
And the Latino team is just absolutely crushing it

559
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,020
on this opportunity.

560
00:21:10,020 --> 00:21:12,720
And what it is is if you're looking for virtual assistance,

561
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,120
go talk to my team, go ask them about why we do what we do,

562
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:17,960
how we do it.

563
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,000
We are huge on training people and making sure

564
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,080
that the training programs are profound.

565
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,840
They have 90 days of training that they go through

566
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,760
before we ever bring them into anything

567
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,480
so that we know that they know how to be authentic,

568
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,460
they know how to work hard,

569
00:21:31,460 --> 00:21:34,340
they know how to work with love and patience

570
00:21:34,340 --> 00:21:36,360
and persistence, consistency and reliability,

571
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:38,560
and that we've got great relationships in place

572
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,440
before we worry about all the how's it done

573
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,040
and what do you guys actually do.

574
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Those are later conversations.

575
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,320
As Sue pointed out earlier, the who matters most

576
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,720
followed by, in my opinion, the why.

577
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,360
We're working towards the same purpose

578
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,400
and then we move into building together from there

579
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,520
if it makes sense.

580
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,760
And so opportunities for Latinos,

581
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,000
there's a phenomenal opportunity there

582
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,360
to also go and be on the show with them

583
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:04,640
where we speak Spanish

584
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,760
and where we inspire the world of Latinos to take action

585
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,400
and follow some of the Latino leaders that we find out there

586
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,480
and put on stage.

587
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,320
Cynthia, who does post-production for this show

588
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,760
and a lot of the,

589
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,440
and works in our design department as well,

590
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,860
she's the host of Opportunities for Latinos,

591
00:22:20,860 --> 00:22:23,980
as is Luisa, who started the host on this show

592
00:22:23,980 --> 00:22:27,880
six weeks after learning what podcasting was,

593
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,080
what LinkedIn is.

594
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,400
It's amazing what we can do

595
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,160
when we train people really, really well.

596
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,960
Then there's Learn and Grow Rich with Zach Oman.

597
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,480
Learn and Grow Rich has become our chief financial officer

598
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,200
and why do we bring him on as chief financial officer?

599
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,960
Because we also saw that he's capable of scaling.

600
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,580
You can go directly to Zach and work with him.

601
00:22:48,580 --> 00:22:51,960
You can also work with Zach through first-class business.

602
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,120
I'm not worried about it.

603
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:54,520
I don't have a scarcity mindset.

604
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,920
I've got an abundant mindset.

605
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,760
That's why I want people to connect

606
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,280
because the more we allow people to connect,

607
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760
the more we get out of the way of trying to control things

608
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,480
and we just provide freedom of choice to people,

609
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,980
the better it is for everybody

610
00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:11,280
to be able to create a win-win-win experience.

611
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,960
Zach's programs started on the exact opposite side

612
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,320
of the shore as mine.

613
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,760
And so if you think about a bridge,

614
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,520
Zach and I realized we've got a five-foot gap

615
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,000
between our bridges and we're in the process

616
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,680
of integrating those right now.

617
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,100
That way, everything that he's built on his side,

618
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:31,420
which eerily looks identical to what we do,

619
00:23:31,420 --> 00:23:32,840
but with all different positions

620
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,920
and all different infrastructure,

621
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,720
and then he looks the same thing on my side

622
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,520
and sees that when we pull those together,

623
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,440
we create an even stronger bridge for everybody.

624
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,560
And so Zach is a brother from another mother

625
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,820
who's been doing an awesome job on helping us

626
00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:47,360
with the financial department and the needs

627
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:49,620
that our companies and clients face for scale.

628
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:51,160
I highly recommend reaching out to him,

629
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,220
talking to him, and seeing what he's up to in the world.

630
00:23:53,220 --> 00:23:54,720
Then there's the water project.

631
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,820
The water project is not something we're related to,

632
00:23:56,820 --> 00:23:59,760
but I really hope that this is the year.

633
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,800
The plan is in November

634
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,220
to actually go see one of these projects.

635
00:24:03,220 --> 00:24:06,160
We've been contributing in small ways this for a very long time.

636
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,400
And when it came across my radar,

637
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,800
I learned that there's millions of people

638
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,000
who don't have access to clean drinking water.

639
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,560
Those of us who get the chance to listen to podcasts

640
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,280
or rock the mic for podcasts,

641
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,360
I don't know of too many causes out there

642
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,980
that have a more immediate impact on people

643
00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:26,560
and a more generational impact.

644
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,860
Once these communities have access to a borehole well

645
00:24:29,860 --> 00:24:33,080
or a sand dam, it gives them the ability

646
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,040
to stay focused on their education,

647
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,640
to stay focused on building their own economy,

648
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,900
to be able to make sure that kids aren't walking

649
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:44,480
three to five miles to try to find access

650
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,080
to any source of water so that the family

651
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,280
or the school can continue to operate and function.

652
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,160
And honestly, it can break your heart

653
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,640
to learn about these stories.

654
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,040
My hope is that you will see the opportunity

655
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,080
to break your heart like a seed, right?

656
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,360
So that your seed breaks open and it can grow

657
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:04,240
and have that much more capacity to do more.

658
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,480
You click on these links that Cynthia's showing,

659
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,680
you're gonna see which communities you can help

660
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,780
and when you contribute to it,

661
00:25:09,780 --> 00:25:12,440
they send you the evidence

662
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,720
of having fulfilled these projects.

663
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,320
You get to help between 300 and 600 people,

664
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,240
their life for the next 10 generations or beyond,

665
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,920
however long that well is sustainable for.

666
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,960
So I highly recommend checking it out.

667
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,360
If there's another cause that you'd rather see a support,

668
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:29,720
please put the comment in the links.

669
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,440
It gives me the chance to take a look

670
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,760
and learn at what's out there

671
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,800
and see if we can help and support with that too.

672
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,120
We've got 8 billion people to help in this world

673
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:39,560
and that's really what the show is all about

674
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,400
is how do we pull together, share our visions

675
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,480
and help the people who need it most?

676
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,680
Random shout out to Fiona of Fiji Book Drive

677
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,260
as I get another example of that.

678
00:25:49,260 --> 00:25:50,920
That's a cause that came on the show

679
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,800
that I like to talk about because, oh,

680
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,140
and they sent me this really beautiful photo

681
00:25:55,140 --> 00:25:58,800
of the kids who get books thanks to her program.

682
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,320
And it's leaders like that, leaders like you,

683
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,500
that as you step up and serve your local community

684
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:05,480
or decide to serve something globally,

685
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,080
the size isn't that important to me.

686
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,000
And what matters to me is are we serving

687
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,680
and helping people as much as possible?

688
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,880
And thank you for joining us in the show to do that.

689
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,500
Back to serving each one of you, Sue Anderson,

690
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:18,160
welcome back to Vision Pros Live.

691
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,160
Thanks, Jackson.

692
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,240
This is so cool.

693
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,280
Everything about what first-class business is up to

694
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,960
is just inspiring.

695
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,280
Like you gotta be on more stages

696
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,560
because this is like, oh my gosh, it's just incredible.

697
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:31,600
I love that you say it.

698
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,640
Thank you for the ego boost, right?

699
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,120
And they know, but thank you for the authentic reality

700
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:38,020
of that too.

701
00:26:38,020 --> 00:26:42,800
I know for myself, Sue, that it's so important

702
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,000
that our company is in a scalable position

703
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,420
to honor the people that we get in front of on those stages.

704
00:26:50,420 --> 00:26:53,440
I take that very, very, it's very sacred to me.

705
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,100
And so if I'm gonna be on the stage

706
00:26:56,100 --> 00:27:01,100
in front of 10,000 people who I'm going to inject hope into,

707
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:04,240
then I wanna know that we've got a path

708
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,600
where those 10,000 people can come

709
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,480
and receive the type of value where their newfound hope,

710
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,960
their inspiration, they can fulfill on it

711
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,880
and not say, oh, yeah, there's another guy

712
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,520
who promised the world and didn't fulfill.

713
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,680
And I'm not pointing fingers at anybody

714
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,680
who goes on stages prematurely,

715
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,400
yet I am pointing out that for myself,

716
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,060
it is going to be leaders like you by my side

717
00:27:30,060 --> 00:27:33,480
who empower me to have that certainty that it is time,

718
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,760
right, that it's time for us to go and do that

719
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,600
at the next level.

720
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,600
And as you know, we've got certain systems coming out

721
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,600
over the coming weeks where we are gonna be going

722
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,920
from 300 touch points per day

723
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,220
to over 2000 touch points per day with people.

724
00:27:48,220 --> 00:27:50,880
And I hope other entrepreneurs and visionaries,

725
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,400
and if you've got a cause out there, same thing.

726
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,240
If you work in the nonprofit sector,

727
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,400
I hope that you guys see the opportunity

728
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,320
that if you really wanna scale to that next level,

729
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,640
one of the greater challenges

730
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,980
that is often left unaddressed is, okay,

731
00:28:05,980 --> 00:28:10,060
what happens when we go from zero to 80 miles per hour

732
00:28:10,060 --> 00:28:13,640
within five seconds if we don't know how to turn the ship?

733
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,680
Right, or we don't have an e-brake that can pause

734
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,920
because there's always walls and there's always obstacles.

735
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,640
And a lot of the best visions out there,

736
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,400
they end up blowing up before people even hear about it

737
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,240
because they don't think through the byproduct of scale

738
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,680
and the repercussions that can exist with it.

739
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,640
And so I'd love for us,

740
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,500
let's take a little bit of time to look at that

741
00:28:33,500 --> 00:28:37,500
because you and I both share that same style of philosophy.

742
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:42,500
We are very prudent with how we move forward the processes,

743
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,520
yet that doesn't mean we don't act with diligence.

744
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,560
That doesn't mean we don't promote what we're up to.

745
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,200
How do you go about balancing that?

746
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,120
And I've got you here, you're larger than life to me.

747
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,320
You're like the best thing that hit our company

748
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,480
in a long time.

749
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,560
And there's some great things

750
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,840
that are constantly hitting our company.

751
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,500
So how do we balance that?

752
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:07,780
Let me back it up a little bit.

753
00:29:07,780 --> 00:29:10,140
There are plenty of guys and women out there

754
00:29:10,140 --> 00:29:14,080
who can get on a stage and who can give a rousing,

755
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,400
totally genuine, very inspiring message.

756
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,440
And that is fantastic.

757
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,240
But people can come away and they're like,

758
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,040
hopefully it's gonna stick with them.

759
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,600
Hopefully they don't come out to the parking lot

760
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,800
and find that they got a flat tire

761
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,080
and then all of it's gone, right?

762
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,580
But I love that you have had this forward thinking,

763
00:29:31,580 --> 00:29:33,800
looking at the long, long-term,

764
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,680
what is actually the way that I can lead people

765
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,600
into being able to fulfill their purpose here.

766
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,840
And so you didn't just settle with having a message.

767
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,540
You've built this whole mechanism.

768
00:29:45,540 --> 00:29:47,120
You've trained an entire team.

769
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,080
You've gathered from around the entire planet,

770
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,320
literally, to build this team.

771
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,560
It's crazy to think about.

772
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,400
It is.

773
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,720
And equipped them with leadership training,

774
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,560
not just like, okay, here's how you do this task,

775
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,280
that part too, but not just that.

776
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,480
You've got the leadership.

777
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,040
I've seen how the team interacts

778
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,880
and they're cheering each other on.

779
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,080
They're not like vying for, I'm better, I'm better.

780
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,160
Oh, like meh.

781
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,200
None of this, they're calling each other out.

782
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,440
Like, hey, I haven't heard from you.

783
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,860
Are you, you know, is this,

784
00:30:15,860 --> 00:30:18,320
this is leadership and that's what transforms

785
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,600
everything on it.

786
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,160
And I think that makes it like the weight of that.

787
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,000
You know, if any entrepreneur who's, you know,

788
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,840
like driving a destiny type of, oh my goodness,

789
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,920
this is huge.

790
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,680
This is so much bigger than just one person.

791
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,920
Leadership becomes infinitely more important

792
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,200
at that point, I think.

793
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,360
And it's that sense of leadership that helps us

794
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,720
to look five, six, seven steps down the road.

795
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,480
So again, you weren't content,

796
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,400
hey, I'm just gonna get up and inspire some people

797
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,480
from stage.

798
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,400
No, no, I've got a whole thing that I gotta build out,

799
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,520
which is super cool.

800
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,880
Like, and it's evolving and you're not taking decades

801
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,280
and decades to do it, which would be a shame

802
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,560
because the world needs it now, you know.

803
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,640
I think that's part of it,

804
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,760
is having that sense of leading ourselves,

805
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,440
leading the people that we're working with,

806
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,940
having that reciprocal leadership.

807
00:31:08,940 --> 00:31:10,560
So they're leading us, we're leading them.

808
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,160
We're still at the helm here,

809
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,160
but I think all of those things come together

810
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,580
to make it this, a doable thing,

811
00:31:18,580 --> 00:31:22,360
to build something that will truly change lives long-term.

812
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,800
Like from the, you know, you've got the water project,

813
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,200
you've done incredible things for, you know,

814
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,960
the clients and team have done things for the team.

815
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,960
Like it is, it's inspiring and awesome and massive.

816
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,840
And I think that it takes maybe a special kind of brain

817
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,740
to be able to hold the massive nature of this endeavor.

818
00:31:42,740 --> 00:31:43,580
And it's-

819
00:31:43,580 --> 00:31:46,700
So Dr. Todd Snyder said, I mean,

820
00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:47,780
I gotta give him a shout out.

821
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:48,980
But one, I don't have a diploma, right?

822
00:31:48,980 --> 00:31:52,780
So there's nothing to like bolster that with.

823
00:31:52,780 --> 00:31:54,820
But he said, Jackson, you know,

824
00:31:54,820 --> 00:31:56,900
after working with me for two months to build this stuff,

825
00:31:56,900 --> 00:31:59,460
he said, Jackson, I've administered IQ tests

826
00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:00,620
to thousands of people.

827
00:32:00,620 --> 00:32:02,500
I've never met anybody even close

828
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:04,180
to as intelligent as you.

829
00:32:04,180 --> 00:32:06,140
And I'm like, I'm just Jackson.

830
00:32:06,140 --> 00:32:07,660
I mean, it's a good thing.

831
00:32:07,660 --> 00:32:09,460
It's flattering, but it's also like, whoa,

832
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:10,660
that's a huge-

833
00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:13,780
And he said, his point with it, he said, Jackson,

834
00:32:13,780 --> 00:32:16,460
you've gotta stop downplaying your genius.

835
00:32:16,460 --> 00:32:17,300
Yeah.

836
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:18,260
People need to know it.

837
00:32:18,260 --> 00:32:19,100
They need to understand it.

838
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:20,380
And there's that quote that like,

839
00:32:20,380 --> 00:32:22,300
you don't wanna be the smartest person in the room.

840
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:23,740
And I'm like, come on, you know,

841
00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:25,620
like I'm cursed with this then, you know?

842
00:32:25,620 --> 00:32:28,020
And no, no, no, like there's a difference

843
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:31,220
in knowing confidently that you have genius

844
00:32:31,220 --> 00:32:33,740
and that everybody else is still just as valuable

845
00:32:33,740 --> 00:32:35,060
and important as you are.

846
00:32:35,060 --> 00:32:37,420
And there's still perspective, you know?

847
00:32:37,420 --> 00:32:40,340
And so my, I always say my 13 year old,

848
00:32:40,340 --> 00:32:43,740
she's got 13 years of perspective that I don't have, right?

849
00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:46,540
So the ability to appreciate and make space for people,

850
00:32:46,540 --> 00:32:48,700
but to also know that, yeah, no,

851
00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:50,420
like it is important to realize

852
00:32:50,420 --> 00:32:52,740
not everybody can do something like this.

853
00:32:52,740 --> 00:32:54,820
Not everybody's meant to do something like this.

854
00:32:54,820 --> 00:32:58,100
Not everybody should do something like this, you know?

855
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:02,500
And so those are elements that it's,

856
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:06,060
we're still all here to learn from each other,

857
00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:08,620
figure out what's gonna be of best value

858
00:33:08,620 --> 00:33:09,900
to the people that we're serving

859
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:11,740
and you do all these beautiful things,

860
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:13,940
these animals too, and the nature stuff,

861
00:33:13,940 --> 00:33:15,020
and it's, oh, it's cute,

862
00:33:15,020 --> 00:33:17,060
and the retreat center that's there.

863
00:33:17,060 --> 00:33:22,060
And, you know, we do want people to capture

864
00:33:22,540 --> 00:33:24,580
the essence of like, catch the vision

865
00:33:24,580 --> 00:33:27,220
of how valuable this is for everybody that's out there.

866
00:33:27,220 --> 00:33:30,780
And like you said, it's the leaders who support this.

867
00:33:30,780 --> 00:33:34,580
They're gonna make that, like shine that light on this

868
00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:36,900
so people can see it and say like, whoa, okay,

869
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:38,700
this is something that could help me.

870
00:33:38,700 --> 00:33:40,220
And you're doing a phenomenal job

871
00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:41,380
of supporting us by the way.

872
00:33:41,380 --> 00:33:42,220
Thank you.

873
00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:44,460
You know, I think that, you know, talking about leaders,

874
00:33:44,460 --> 00:33:46,700
it's, I think one thing that leaders

875
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:48,500
are really lacking these days

876
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:52,020
and you see it when you're talking with, you know,

877
00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:54,460
we have a lot of conversations, like a couple of times a week.

878
00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:56,380
I know you meet with some clients like every day,

879
00:33:56,380 --> 00:33:57,340
like it's like that.

880
00:33:57,340 --> 00:33:59,660
It's a lot of conversation.

881
00:33:59,660 --> 00:34:03,260
Hustle culture says, don't, that's a waste of time,

882
00:34:03,260 --> 00:34:05,580
you know, which is ridiculous.

883
00:34:05,580 --> 00:34:07,700
Entrepreneurs have that because they've got the,

884
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:09,220
oh, I gotta work, I gotta.

885
00:34:09,220 --> 00:34:11,540
The thing that I think we're craving so much

886
00:34:11,540 --> 00:34:13,580
and that will move the needle for so many

887
00:34:13,580 --> 00:34:17,580
is to have unhurried time together in conversation.

888
00:34:17,580 --> 00:34:19,380
You know, we don't have that usually.

889
00:34:19,380 --> 00:34:21,140
We're like, oh, I got a hard stop at this time.

890
00:34:21,140 --> 00:34:24,020
Oh, I gotta go, I gotta go, I'll catch the replay.

891
00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:26,140
But if we can have face-to-face time,

892
00:34:26,140 --> 00:34:28,420
I think that's gonna be just world-changing.

893
00:34:28,420 --> 00:34:29,820
And if you can gather people,

894
00:34:29,820 --> 00:34:32,460
like the type of people I'm planning to gather here,

895
00:34:32,460 --> 00:34:35,820
oh my goodness, like, can you imagine?

896
00:34:35,820 --> 00:34:40,020
Any and every mistake that we make at First Class Business

897
00:34:40,020 --> 00:34:43,180
is when we are rushing and having hurried conversations.

898
00:34:43,180 --> 00:34:47,420
It is, that is the only time we face drama and mistakes.

899
00:34:47,420 --> 00:34:51,700
We are very intentional about never being the victim

900
00:34:51,700 --> 00:34:53,460
of not having enough time, right?

901
00:34:53,460 --> 00:34:55,540
Yeah, all I have is time.

902
00:34:55,540 --> 00:34:58,540
That's like the one resource that I am given

903
00:34:58,540 --> 00:35:01,100
and you can't get it back, right?

904
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:03,860
So how we choose to use that time and then intentionally say,

905
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:06,060
you know what, I'm not gonna rush this.

906
00:35:06,060 --> 00:35:09,260
I'm going to accept that the result's going to be different

907
00:35:09,260 --> 00:35:14,180
than I expect or that I want, but I'm gonna slow down

908
00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:16,140
and I'm gonna have the right conversation.

909
00:35:16,140 --> 00:35:18,900
I'm gonna look at things, you know,

910
00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:21,260
I'm gonna stop looking at the things

911
00:35:21,260 --> 00:35:23,580
and I'm going to look more at the relationship

912
00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:24,500
that's right here in front of me

913
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:26,380
and how we can build on that.

914
00:35:26,380 --> 00:35:28,340
And so we were talking about that with the show.

915
00:35:28,340 --> 00:35:31,140
You know, we've got the hour show

916
00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:33,340
and then I've got a 30-minute break after.

917
00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:36,060
One thing I didn't ask Sue is, do you have a hard stop?

918
00:35:36,060 --> 00:35:36,900
No, I don't.

919
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:37,900
I'm good.

920
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:38,740
Perfect.

921
00:35:38,740 --> 00:35:40,180
And so what Sue and I were talking about,

922
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:43,380
I said, you know, we want to just give and give

923
00:35:43,380 --> 00:35:44,620
and give and give and give and give, you know,

924
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:46,500
and all the way up until the next appointment,

925
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:48,700
but we would do ourselves a disservice

926
00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:52,460
if we did not stop, pause the show, you know,

927
00:35:52,460 --> 00:35:55,220
or stop the show and then debrief together

928
00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:56,620
and see what do we learn?

929
00:35:56,620 --> 00:35:59,540
What can we do to maximize what we've given the people?

930
00:35:59,540 --> 00:36:04,540
And having that intentionality to use our time

931
00:36:04,620 --> 00:36:08,340
the best way possible, that is something that,

932
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:10,980
it's like books like this that teach me how to do that.

933
00:36:10,980 --> 00:36:14,020
It's not natural to know how to master our time

934
00:36:14,020 --> 00:36:15,340
and to use it accordingly.

935
00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:19,620
It's also not natural to hustle through life, you know,

936
00:36:19,620 --> 00:36:21,820
at incredible speeds, but it's also not natural

937
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:23,900
to slow down and not, you know what I mean?

938
00:36:23,900 --> 00:36:26,820
Like meditate and think through what you're going to do.

939
00:36:26,820 --> 00:36:28,620
Those are all learned behaviors.

940
00:36:28,620 --> 00:36:29,460
Yeah.

941
00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:32,060
And then we focus on it, we win better.

942
00:36:32,060 --> 00:36:34,660
First class business has been, you know,

943
00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:37,180
I've joked and I've written a little bit about,

944
00:36:37,180 --> 00:36:39,860
it's almost like standing naked at the doctor, right?

945
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:42,260
It feels very, very vulnerable.

946
00:36:42,260 --> 00:36:44,220
I'd rather do that sometimes.

947
00:36:44,220 --> 00:36:45,780
Yeah, it's like, all right, you know,

948
00:36:45,780 --> 00:36:48,180
you're going through the power launch process

949
00:36:48,180 --> 00:36:50,480
and it's like, oh, what's this look like in your business?

950
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:51,320
What's your org chart?

951
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,980
What's the, you know, it's like, oh no, I'm naked.

952
00:36:56,540 --> 00:36:59,340
But it takes, you know, having conversation,

953
00:36:59,340 --> 00:37:02,420
like, you know, a level of trust,

954
00:37:02,420 --> 00:37:05,440
I think that comes from somebody actually slowing down.

955
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,140
Like if the doctor, if it were a literal doctor's office

956
00:37:08,140 --> 00:37:10,380
and you're standing there naked and he does a drive-by,

957
00:37:10,380 --> 00:37:12,360
oh, yep, given this, you're not going to trust

958
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,980
what they said, like, hopefully, you know,

959
00:37:14,980 --> 00:37:17,500
but having somebody who's taking the time to really,

960
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:20,460
the care enough to ask these very uncomfortable questions

961
00:37:20,460 --> 00:37:23,660
sometimes like, oh, I have never done this.

962
00:37:23,660 --> 00:37:27,160
Okay, I've never, there's so many gaps that we have

963
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,700
as entrepreneurs that whoever we learned

964
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:32,500
how to entrepreneur from and probably a mishmash

965
00:37:32,500 --> 00:37:35,260
of all kinds of stuff that we've bought and attended

966
00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,220
and all this, there's gaps and they're big.

967
00:37:38,220 --> 00:37:40,320
And it's bad enough, it's going to hit us.

968
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,460
It's going to hit everybody we're trying to serve

969
00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:45,900
and everybody on our team, like, oh no.

970
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:48,980
And having those unhurried conversations where, you know,

971
00:37:48,980 --> 00:37:52,700
the doctor is looking and they see and they're hearing you.

972
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:55,780
That's where you want to get help, you know?

973
00:37:55,780 --> 00:37:57,860
And it's like, oh, okay, yeah.

974
00:37:57,860 --> 00:37:59,700
They see what it is, they're not coming in here

975
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:01,780
willy-nilly with a scalpel, you know?

976
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:03,620
This is somebody who's paying attention.

977
00:38:03,620 --> 00:38:04,740
That's huge.

978
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:05,580
And I-

979
00:38:05,580 --> 00:38:09,140
How do we encourage more visionaries

980
00:38:09,140 --> 00:38:11,980
to make room and space for that experience?

981
00:38:11,980 --> 00:38:15,000
Because as you know, we've lost our clients along the way.

982
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,900
We've lost team members along the way.

983
00:38:16,900 --> 00:38:20,060
We've, you know, it's hard.

984
00:38:20,060 --> 00:38:25,060
It's not easy for people to address the pains that they face,

985
00:38:26,180 --> 00:38:27,100
or the realities.

986
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:29,700
And let's look at it from that hospital standpoint.

987
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:33,740
It's like, if somebody has their arm severed off, right?

988
00:38:33,740 --> 00:38:36,100
You're gruesome, you know, I know, painful.

989
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:38,400
Well, in order to help that person,

990
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,820
you unfortunately have to cause a bit of pain

991
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:45,180
in the process, you know, of making sure that, you know,

992
00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:46,860
you stop the bleeding, you know?

993
00:38:46,860 --> 00:38:49,580
And that's, nobody wants that.

994
00:38:49,580 --> 00:38:52,180
That's why you put people to sleep before you operate on them,

995
00:38:52,180 --> 00:38:54,340
you know, because they're otherwise, they're gonna fight.

996
00:38:54,340 --> 00:38:57,480
And so with entrepreneurial work,

997
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,140
you have to go through the same types of painful processes

998
00:39:01,140 --> 00:39:05,360
of removal and of vulnerabilities,

999
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,820
but people have to be conscious of what they're going through.

1000
00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:12,220
So what are some things that you think myself

1001
00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:15,820
and other leaders who have to, you know,

1002
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:18,660
who have an opportunity to inspire people to level up,

1003
00:39:18,660 --> 00:39:20,420
but they have to do things that are way outside

1004
00:39:20,420 --> 00:39:21,880
their comfort zone.

1005
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,620
What can we learn from this experience?

1006
00:39:24,620 --> 00:39:25,980
There are two things that come to mind.

1007
00:39:25,980 --> 00:39:28,820
One is, let's say you're the surgeon,

1008
00:39:28,820 --> 00:39:32,760
you're specialized in reattaching severed arms, pretty cool.

1009
00:39:34,060 --> 00:39:36,420
You've got to wait for somebody to come to you.

1010
00:39:36,420 --> 00:39:37,540
People are not gonna come to you

1011
00:39:37,540 --> 00:39:39,500
till their arm is hanging off by a thread

1012
00:39:39,500 --> 00:39:43,280
and you can't treat them if they don't come in, right?

1013
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,360
So I think that's part of the content that we create

1014
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,700
is it's gotta speak to that person so that they can see.

1015
00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:54,060
These are very private, you know,

1016
00:39:54,060 --> 00:39:56,540
secret type of fears that people have,

1017
00:39:56,540 --> 00:39:58,060
the fear of success, fear of failure,

1018
00:39:58,060 --> 00:40:00,500
the way that that plays out,

1019
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:03,380
it's like what is keeping them up at night?

1020
00:40:03,380 --> 00:40:05,680
Literally they're eating Tums, you know,

1021
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,880
trying to solve this thing,

1022
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,300
but they don't wanna tell anybody about it.

1023
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:12,700
In a way, if you create content that speaks to them

1024
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:15,940
and it echoes what's already going on in their head,

1025
00:40:15,940 --> 00:40:18,460
that kind of like gives them a hope that maybe,

1026
00:40:18,460 --> 00:40:21,460
oh, wait a second, they might understand me.

1027
00:40:21,460 --> 00:40:24,120
So that's a big part is you've gotta find a way

1028
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,140
that they're gonna come to you

1029
00:40:25,140 --> 00:40:27,140
because you can't go to all of them

1030
00:40:27,140 --> 00:40:30,700
and you certainly can't attach the arm in their garage.

1031
00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:33,420
The other part kind of hinges on that too.

1032
00:40:33,420 --> 00:40:36,220
And I think it's being able to tell stories really well.

1033
00:40:36,220 --> 00:40:41,220
That's a huge asset, a skillset to have

1034
00:40:41,420 --> 00:40:44,180
that, you know, if I can tell somebody's story

1035
00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:45,620
or if you're telling somebody's story,

1036
00:40:45,620 --> 00:40:48,460
you've had tremendous experiences working with clients,

1037
00:40:48,460 --> 00:40:52,100
with team, all of this, you're an excellent storyteller.

1038
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:54,860
And I think as people tell stories,

1039
00:40:54,860 --> 00:40:56,760
that's what kind of engages somebody.

1040
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,580
It's like the back, the hack to get into the brain.

1041
00:40:59,580 --> 00:41:00,860
You know, we love, if you say,

1042
00:41:00,860 --> 00:41:01,900
hey, we're gonna tell a story.

1043
00:41:01,900 --> 00:41:03,940
All right, everybody's like,

1044
00:41:03,940 --> 00:41:05,700
from kindergarten on we were trained,

1045
00:41:05,700 --> 00:41:06,980
like if somebody's telling a story,

1046
00:41:06,980 --> 00:41:09,420
this is gonna be good, you're gonna sit, you know.

1047
00:41:09,420 --> 00:41:11,220
But I think that that's part of it, you know,

1048
00:41:11,220 --> 00:41:13,580
that can finally communicate points

1049
00:41:13,580 --> 00:41:17,060
that could be tough to swallow otherwise.

1050
00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:19,140
The amount of value that you just provided to me

1051
00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:22,300
in that one, like I'm gonna be meditating on this

1052
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:23,460
for some time.

1053
00:41:23,460 --> 00:41:25,700
You reminded me of the movie, The Physician.

1054
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:28,100
And it's not a well-known movie,

1055
00:41:28,100 --> 00:41:30,420
but The Physician is about this guy

1056
00:41:30,420 --> 00:41:32,860
who performed the first appendicitis.

1057
00:41:32,860 --> 00:41:34,180
Oh, wow.

1058
00:41:34,180 --> 00:41:39,180
And it's a hilarious movie of medieval times, right?

1059
00:41:39,700 --> 00:41:43,560
And which doctor stuff and what these quacks were doing

1060
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,540
to like cure people and not really.

1061
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:48,580
And a lot of the religions at that time

1062
00:41:48,580 --> 00:41:51,020
didn't believe in cutting open the body

1063
00:41:51,020 --> 00:41:53,500
and exploring the body and understanding what it was.

1064
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,900
And so we live in a time where, as you said,

1065
00:41:56,900 --> 00:41:58,620
like those with severed arms,

1066
00:41:58,620 --> 00:42:00,900
like they need to come to you, right?

1067
00:42:00,900 --> 00:42:04,020
And so oftentimes the entrepreneur says,

1068
00:42:04,020 --> 00:42:06,620
well, let's just not help that market.

1069
00:42:06,620 --> 00:42:08,640
I mean, like it's far easier to help people

1070
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,100
with less dramatic problems or who are farther along

1071
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:13,580
and don't have these challenges.

1072
00:42:13,580 --> 00:42:16,420
But to your point, that's like,

1073
00:42:16,420 --> 00:42:18,340
I want to create the content

1074
00:42:18,340 --> 00:42:19,860
where those people know they're safe.

1075
00:42:19,860 --> 00:42:23,180
And back then with the appendicitis,

1076
00:42:23,180 --> 00:42:25,980
they didn't have the ability to put people to sleep, right?

1077
00:42:25,980 --> 00:42:27,580
So we live in a very modern world

1078
00:42:27,580 --> 00:42:32,040
where a lot of the buildup and processes

1079
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,540
to create some of the miraculous victories

1080
00:42:35,540 --> 00:42:40,540
and quick remedies, we think that's always existed.

1081
00:42:40,540 --> 00:42:45,100
I do, and no, we probably need to figure out

1082
00:42:45,100 --> 00:42:49,200
what's the anesthesia for entrepreneurs

1083
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,980
so that they stop abandoning the process.

1084
00:42:50,980 --> 00:42:55,980
So they don't get in a situation of panic

1085
00:42:56,020 --> 00:42:58,700
where they run from the pain and the reality

1086
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:00,260
of the change that needs to exist.

1087
00:43:00,260 --> 00:43:03,620
So I'm gonna be studying this a lot over the coming months.

1088
00:43:03,620 --> 00:43:06,820
And it is these types of mastermind sessions

1089
00:43:06,820 --> 00:43:09,780
that don't typically happen publicly, right?

1090
00:43:09,780 --> 00:43:13,180
And that people may not catch the full value of,

1091
00:43:13,180 --> 00:43:17,860
but it is these conversations that lead to the gold,

1092
00:43:17,860 --> 00:43:21,820
the diamonds, the realities of what's possible long-term.

1093
00:43:21,820 --> 00:43:26,820
And I guess I'll ask you to, in terms of vision,

1094
00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:32,700
what else do you, where do you plan on going with your vision?

1095
00:43:33,780 --> 00:43:36,700
And what else is on the horizon

1096
00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:39,760
that's gonna help you fulfill the visions

1097
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,900
that you're on your way in building?

1098
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:45,240
So one of those, a hinge is on the last thing that you said.

1099
00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:48,060
So add one more thing to your meditation here.

1100
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:53,060
Imagine you're in a situation in a container,

1101
00:43:53,180 --> 00:43:56,860
as the coaches say, where there's not a clock

1102
00:43:56,860 --> 00:43:58,180
necessarily running.

1103
00:43:58,180 --> 00:44:00,940
And let's say you're there with 10 other entrepreneurs

1104
00:44:00,940 --> 00:44:05,780
and somebody like you who's able to help do this surgery.

1105
00:44:05,780 --> 00:44:09,100
You know what the anesthetic becomes is community.

1106
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:11,260
Having other people there to witness

1107
00:44:11,260 --> 00:44:13,220
what you're going through and to say,

1108
00:44:13,220 --> 00:44:15,660
oh my gosh, yeah, that's me too.

1109
00:44:15,660 --> 00:44:20,500
And to have that unhurried treatment time.

1110
00:44:20,500 --> 00:44:22,500
Yes, I mean, eventually you all gotta go home,

1111
00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:26,140
but a lot can happen when there's no cell phones dinging,

1112
00:44:26,140 --> 00:44:28,760
there's no gotta go get food, gotta do, you know,

1113
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,620
when you just have that unhurried time together.

1114
00:44:31,620 --> 00:44:34,060
I think that that's where that comes in.

1115
00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:37,140
So bringing that forward, you know,

1116
00:44:37,140 --> 00:44:40,380
Idlewildwoods, I kind of feel like this might just be

1117
00:44:40,380 --> 00:44:43,700
the first of several places like this.

1118
00:44:43,700 --> 00:44:48,020
I can envision, and this sounds like crazy talk

1119
00:44:48,020 --> 00:44:49,740
because we haven't even built the first one yet,

1120
00:44:49,740 --> 00:44:52,840
but here's what I'm envisioning is having a whole string,

1121
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,980
like a necklace going across the country.

1122
00:44:54,980 --> 00:44:57,180
Like, oh, you wanna go to Utah?

1123
00:44:57,180 --> 00:44:58,700
Oh, you wanna go to Missouri?

1124
00:44:58,700 --> 00:45:02,180
Oh, you wanna, you know, like being able to help

1125
00:45:02,180 --> 00:45:05,520
other entrepreneurs who have a similar vision.

1126
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,780
Like, I don't know that I wanna open that many myself,

1127
00:45:07,780 --> 00:45:10,460
but I would love to consult and help them.

1128
00:45:10,460 --> 00:45:12,140
Cause I've talked with,

1129
00:45:12,140 --> 00:45:14,940
I used to have a podcast called Glampalooza.

1130
00:45:14,940 --> 00:45:16,300
And I started that because I was like,

1131
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:17,740
I don't know anything about hosting,

1132
00:45:17,740 --> 00:45:19,100
I'm gonna learn, right?

1133
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:20,220
As I was talking to these people,

1134
00:45:20,220 --> 00:45:21,420
a lot of people were like,

1135
00:45:21,420 --> 00:45:23,460
you're building an entrepreneur retreat center?

1136
00:45:23,460 --> 00:45:25,080
I wanna do that.

1137
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,860
You know, and other people that have just,

1138
00:45:26,860 --> 00:45:29,180
they've encountered me, one lady reached out on Facebook,

1139
00:45:29,180 --> 00:45:30,740
hey, I'm doing the same thing,

1140
00:45:30,740 --> 00:45:32,180
but it's gonna be in Ohio.

1141
00:45:32,180 --> 00:45:34,100
And I'm like, that's amazing, or Indiana.

1142
00:45:34,100 --> 00:45:35,900
I'm like, that is amazing.

1143
00:45:35,900 --> 00:45:39,060
It's another one of those projects where it's like,

1144
00:45:39,060 --> 00:45:41,300
oh, we can help each other through this.

1145
00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:43,720
Cause the mission on it is so big.

1146
00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:46,900
It's like competitors, that's not even a thing.

1147
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:51,500
Like this is, each place will have, it's host,

1148
00:45:51,500 --> 00:45:53,860
they're uniquely suited to serve the people

1149
00:45:53,860 --> 00:45:54,900
who are gonna come there.

1150
00:45:54,900 --> 00:45:56,920
And so that's what I see coming.

1151
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,940
This could be just ginormous.

1152
00:45:59,940 --> 00:46:03,500
It is, and it's, I'll shift the gears.

1153
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:05,860
It's not even could be, it just is.

1154
00:46:05,860 --> 00:46:06,700
Yeah.

1155
00:46:06,700 --> 00:46:07,740
Right, that is what it is.

1156
00:46:07,740 --> 00:46:12,260
And so people in markets that don't,

1157
00:46:12,260 --> 00:46:13,940
you know, there's a lot of markets who don't understand that,

1158
00:46:13,940 --> 00:46:15,580
but you don't have to look too far.

1159
00:46:15,580 --> 00:46:17,020
Right, the University of Stanford

1160
00:46:17,020 --> 00:46:22,020
and the University of Harvard, they're not competitors.

1161
00:46:22,100 --> 00:46:26,060
They have their own thresholds of capacity.

1162
00:46:26,060 --> 00:46:28,020
They beat each other up on the football field

1163
00:46:28,020 --> 00:46:29,300
and on the basketball field and all that,

1164
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:32,140
but that's all part of driving the holistic growth.

1165
00:46:32,140 --> 00:46:34,500
And that's a bigger part of the community

1166
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:36,140
and the sense of belonging too.

1167
00:46:36,140 --> 00:46:39,100
And so there's that same reality exists,

1168
00:46:39,100 --> 00:46:42,340
not just in the sports world, but in our world of business.

1169
00:46:42,340 --> 00:46:44,540
And while there's plenty of people who don't get it,

1170
00:46:44,540 --> 00:46:46,260
I'm sure there's tons of universities

1171
00:46:46,260 --> 00:46:48,520
who don't get it either and try to do their own thing

1172
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,980
and try to make it about themselves.

1173
00:46:50,980 --> 00:46:53,060
But the ones who are really crushing it, right?

1174
00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:54,780
The ones who are really getting after it,

1175
00:46:54,780 --> 00:46:56,660
they don't have this fear of competition.

1176
00:46:56,660 --> 00:46:57,940
That's not a driving force.

1177
00:46:57,940 --> 00:47:00,580
They have this openness about collaboration

1178
00:47:00,580 --> 00:47:01,460
and what's possible.

1179
00:47:01,460 --> 00:47:06,420
And so I definitely, I think that's the inevitable reality

1180
00:47:06,420 --> 00:47:07,860
of what you're creating Sue,

1181
00:47:07,860 --> 00:47:10,580
is you're creating a sense of abundance

1182
00:47:10,580 --> 00:47:15,380
that's gonna continue to drive thriving cultivation

1183
00:47:15,380 --> 00:47:18,340
of relationships, opportunities that exist

1184
00:47:18,340 --> 00:47:23,340
in different cities, different states, different countries.

1185
00:47:23,420 --> 00:47:26,580
As well, we only talked about the necklace across.

1186
00:47:26,580 --> 00:47:27,420
Oh yeah.

1187
00:47:27,420 --> 00:47:29,940
But being involved in the planetary reality

1188
00:47:29,940 --> 00:47:32,220
like what we're doing with first-class business

1189
00:47:32,220 --> 00:47:35,020
means that we're going to have these opportunities

1190
00:47:35,020 --> 00:47:39,660
in Columbia, Peru, Pakistan, India, Philippines

1191
00:47:39,660 --> 00:47:42,900
and whatever countries we touch next.

1192
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:44,740
So it's truly global.

1193
00:47:46,300 --> 00:47:47,140
I get to work on-

1194
00:47:47,140 --> 00:47:49,240
Musk might be making this planetary.

1195
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:51,300
Oh my, you'll see.

1196
00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:52,540
I mean, why stop there?

1197
00:47:54,300 --> 00:47:57,100
Mars on the space shuttles, who knows what else?

1198
00:47:57,100 --> 00:48:00,900
So he can worry and plan about that.

1199
00:48:00,900 --> 00:48:04,220
I let people do the research and development, right?

1200
00:48:04,220 --> 00:48:06,580
And pave the harder paths forward.

1201
00:48:06,580 --> 00:48:09,780
But, and you've done that with the retreat center.

1202
00:48:09,780 --> 00:48:11,100
I love what you're building.

1203
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:13,900
I know how needed this is in the world.

1204
00:48:13,900 --> 00:48:17,420
And so I'm excited to be part of the process

1205
00:48:17,420 --> 00:48:19,620
of bringing it to fruition.

1206
00:48:19,620 --> 00:48:22,380
It all started with us meeting on a couple of podcasts.

1207
00:48:22,380 --> 00:48:23,220
Yeah.

1208
00:48:23,220 --> 00:48:27,100
We met theoretically, big shout out to Stacey.

1209
00:48:27,100 --> 00:48:27,940
Oh, I love Stacey.

1210
00:48:27,940 --> 00:48:29,780
Stacey Lauren.

1211
00:48:29,780 --> 00:48:30,620
Oh man.

1212
00:48:30,620 --> 00:48:32,220
So yeah, Stacey Lauren hosted something

1213
00:48:32,220 --> 00:48:33,620
with Alex Sanfilippo.

1214
00:48:33,620 --> 00:48:36,300
We got to give him a huge shout out as well.

1215
00:48:36,300 --> 00:48:37,300
Cause I wouldn't have gone

1216
00:48:37,300 --> 00:48:40,500
had Alex not been a part of that.

1217
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:43,060
Then I got to see how Stacey's the running community

1218
00:48:43,060 --> 00:48:45,740
was right when she was doing her Ted talk.

1219
00:48:45,740 --> 00:48:47,180
And that was really neat to see.

1220
00:48:47,180 --> 00:48:49,980
And she's great at building online communities.

1221
00:48:49,980 --> 00:48:53,300
And you were in there talking about the retreat center

1222
00:48:53,300 --> 00:48:57,460
a little bit, just commenting in that one little meeting.

1223
00:48:57,460 --> 00:48:59,220
And I happened to make some comments,

1224
00:48:59,220 --> 00:49:01,340
just providing a little bit of supporter

1225
00:49:01,340 --> 00:49:04,980
or materials of what I had seen in the market.

1226
00:49:04,980 --> 00:49:07,780
And next thing you know, we're both on a podcast together.

1227
00:49:07,780 --> 00:49:10,060
And here we are, what has it been, six months?

1228
00:49:10,060 --> 00:49:11,100
Probably.

1229
00:49:11,100 --> 00:49:11,940
About that.

1230
00:49:11,940 --> 00:49:13,380
I mean, it feels in a good way.

1231
00:49:13,380 --> 00:49:15,660
It feels like six years of depth.

1232
00:49:15,660 --> 00:49:17,860
And yet it's only been six months

1233
00:49:17,860 --> 00:49:21,180
and we've accomplished so much on both sides.

1234
00:49:21,180 --> 00:49:23,180
Can you imagine where we're going to be six years from now?

1235
00:49:23,180 --> 00:49:24,020
Oh, I know.

1236
00:49:24,020 --> 00:49:24,860
It's crazy.

1237
00:49:24,860 --> 00:49:25,680
We were looking at it.

1238
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:26,520
Let's forget that.

1239
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:27,460
Let's do that publicly.

1240
00:49:27,460 --> 00:49:29,940
Where are we going to be six years from now Sue?

1241
00:49:30,980 --> 00:49:31,820
That's amazing.

1242
00:49:31,820 --> 00:49:32,700
Thinking about this.

1243
00:49:32,700 --> 00:49:34,460
Well, I think we're going to be like,

1244
00:49:34,460 --> 00:49:37,100
we're going to have a list like as long as our arms

1245
00:49:37,100 --> 00:49:40,140
of things, places that we've been able to serve

1246
00:49:40,140 --> 00:49:42,620
and help and people, groups of people

1247
00:49:42,620 --> 00:49:44,260
that have been transformed.

1248
00:49:44,260 --> 00:49:45,620
That's for sure.

1249
00:49:45,620 --> 00:49:47,420
Like your whole screen is going to be blacked out

1250
00:49:47,420 --> 00:49:50,060
with the logos of all the staff.

1251
00:49:50,060 --> 00:49:51,900
Yes, I think you're right.

1252
00:49:51,900 --> 00:49:53,420
That's going to be incredible.

1253
00:49:53,420 --> 00:49:56,740
Of all of the clients, all the brands,

1254
00:49:56,740 --> 00:49:59,380
the leaders who are training and incubating

1255
00:49:59,380 --> 00:50:01,300
in first-class businesses you talked about, right?

1256
00:50:01,300 --> 00:50:03,100
They're going to the leadership academy.

1257
00:50:03,100 --> 00:50:06,220
They're all learning truths and values

1258
00:50:06,220 --> 00:50:09,300
that makes them self-sustainable.

1259
00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:11,340
That's beneficial for our company,

1260
00:50:11,340 --> 00:50:14,220
but it's also between that and the passion for our project,

1261
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,780
we're learning who wants to launch their own brands.

1262
00:50:16,780 --> 00:50:20,580
So in six years, I could literally see hundreds

1263
00:50:20,580 --> 00:50:23,740
of our team members already having power launched

1264
00:50:23,740 --> 00:50:27,500
all of their own brands, not just supporting the clients

1265
00:50:27,500 --> 00:50:30,260
that come to the process, but literally having hundreds

1266
00:50:30,260 --> 00:50:35,260
of team members who started as unqualified virtual assistants,

1267
00:50:35,420 --> 00:50:37,180
meaning they've never done virtual assistant work.

1268
00:50:37,180 --> 00:50:38,540
They've never had LinkedIn before.

1269
00:50:38,540 --> 00:50:42,140
They didn't know about Canva Network and podcasting.

1270
00:50:42,140 --> 00:50:44,340
And I can see how within the six years,

1271
00:50:44,340 --> 00:50:47,620
we could literally have hundreds of those individuals

1272
00:50:47,620 --> 00:50:50,340
running their own profitable companies

1273
00:50:50,340 --> 00:50:53,700
and using the retreat centers, right?

1274
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:56,780
That you have been involved with creating and setting up

1275
00:50:56,780 --> 00:51:00,580
and going across that necklace string of retreat centers

1276
00:51:00,580 --> 00:51:03,860
to visit them, to be part of like, oh, this is huge.

1277
00:51:03,860 --> 00:51:04,860
I know, right?

1278
00:51:04,860 --> 00:51:06,980
And then too, you're like, you're bringing in the clients,

1279
00:51:06,980 --> 00:51:07,820
right?

1280
00:51:07,820 --> 00:51:08,940
You've got the team and they're starting

1281
00:51:08,940 --> 00:51:10,020
to build their own things.

1282
00:51:10,020 --> 00:51:12,180
And you've got the clients and some of them have things

1283
00:51:12,180 --> 00:51:14,140
that would help the team, right?

1284
00:51:14,140 --> 00:51:18,300
Just the collaboration possibilities

1285
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:21,740
are just unfathomably huge.

1286
00:51:21,740 --> 00:51:22,580
They are.

1287
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:23,980
It's so cool.

1288
00:51:23,980 --> 00:51:25,820
Speaking of Travis Chambers,

1289
00:51:25,820 --> 00:51:28,780
and the person you met in Ohio,

1290
00:51:28,780 --> 00:51:32,060
and then there's Travis Chambers with the Outpost in Utah.

1291
00:51:32,060 --> 00:51:34,260
And there's so many others that, you know,

1292
00:51:34,260 --> 00:51:37,220
we talked about this creating a kind of like

1293
00:51:37,220 --> 00:51:40,860
a Hilton rewards type network of these places.

1294
00:51:40,860 --> 00:51:43,660
So that it's just, it's like second nature.

1295
00:51:43,660 --> 00:51:46,060
It's like, okay, we did the one in Tennessee.

1296
00:51:46,060 --> 00:51:48,100
Now we gotta go do the one over in Ohio.

1297
00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:52,260
And then we gotta go over to the one at the Outpost.

1298
00:51:52,260 --> 00:51:56,380
And like, it kind of, it becomes like Disneyland

1299
00:51:56,380 --> 00:51:58,020
for entrepreneurs.

1300
00:51:58,020 --> 00:51:59,340
Yes.

1301
00:51:59,340 --> 00:52:00,540
That's what I see happening.

1302
00:52:00,540 --> 00:52:02,500
It's like every time you go,

1303
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:04,500
you're engaging in these workshops too.

1304
00:52:04,500 --> 00:52:06,500
And so now you've got revenue growing.

1305
00:52:06,500 --> 00:52:07,620
Can you imagine that?

1306
00:52:07,620 --> 00:52:09,940
You go from one conference to the next.

1307
00:52:09,940 --> 00:52:14,020
And every time you get there, your revenue has grown

1308
00:52:14,020 --> 00:52:15,220
because of the experience.

1309
00:52:15,220 --> 00:52:17,180
And it's like, yeah, I'm not, I'm not diva.

1310
00:52:17,180 --> 00:52:20,380
I'm a big fan by the way of having a home base.

1311
00:52:20,380 --> 00:52:21,660
A big fan of it nowadays.

1312
00:52:21,660 --> 00:52:25,300
I did the Nomad thing earlier in life.

1313
00:52:25,300 --> 00:52:29,300
And I realized that my kids would have benefited

1314
00:52:29,300 --> 00:52:32,620
from having the same type of like infrastructure

1315
00:52:32,620 --> 00:52:35,980
and community stability that I had had.

1316
00:52:35,980 --> 00:52:40,740
But that doesn't mean I want to shoot down the Nomad lifestyle

1317
00:52:40,740 --> 00:52:42,140
and say, don't do it.

1318
00:52:42,140 --> 00:52:47,140
As much as, okay, if I'm going to go the Nomad route,

1319
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:52,500
or if I'm going to encourage my kids to go that route,

1320
00:52:52,500 --> 00:52:53,940
what are the other variables, right?

1321
00:52:53,940 --> 00:52:55,980
What are the other missing elements

1322
00:52:55,980 --> 00:52:58,500
that would be really important for them to be able

1323
00:52:58,500 --> 00:53:02,100
to benefit from the same type of community stability

1324
00:53:02,100 --> 00:53:04,380
that I had during my generation,

1325
00:53:04,380 --> 00:53:08,260
while also having the flexibility and remote access

1326
00:53:08,260 --> 00:53:12,500
to world opportunities that doesn't leave them

1327
00:53:12,500 --> 00:53:16,860
in a situation of isolation or in a situation where,

1328
00:53:16,860 --> 00:53:21,380
like my second wife, the mother of my youngest child,

1329
00:53:22,420 --> 00:53:23,860
COVID crushed us.

1330
00:53:25,180 --> 00:53:28,620
We literally moved back from Mexico

1331
00:53:28,620 --> 00:53:30,860
with no intention of staying in the US

1332
00:53:30,860 --> 00:53:34,300
during an international crisis

1333
00:53:34,300 --> 00:53:36,620
where she got trapped in a foreign country.

1334
00:53:36,620 --> 00:53:38,980
So we couldn't have predicted that.

1335
00:53:38,980 --> 00:53:43,100
But now that I've seen how many,

1336
00:53:43,100 --> 00:53:46,620
like what risks exist with the Nomad lifestyle,

1337
00:53:46,620 --> 00:53:48,580
it's like, okay, we don't want to shut that down.

1338
00:53:48,580 --> 00:53:50,460
I don't want to have the PTSD to the level

1339
00:53:50,460 --> 00:53:54,140
where it's like, I'm not going to consider that as an option.

1340
00:53:54,140 --> 00:53:58,220
But I think we're on to something within six years, Sue,

1341
00:53:58,220 --> 00:54:00,500
where it's like, we're going to be able to create

1342
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:04,980
a new sense of stability and infrastructure

1343
00:54:04,980 --> 00:54:07,500
that empowers the Nomad life,

1344
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:12,300
while also maintaining that sense of community and belonging

1345
00:54:12,300 --> 00:54:14,740
that anybody in the 90s grew up with.

1346
00:54:14,740 --> 00:54:15,580
Yeah.

1347
00:54:15,580 --> 00:54:16,940
What are your thoughts on that?

1348
00:54:16,940 --> 00:54:18,580
So I'm Gen X.

1349
00:54:18,580 --> 00:54:21,460
We spend our days outside, drink from a hose.

1350
00:54:21,460 --> 00:54:24,140
You come in when the lights come on, you're outside.

1351
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:27,220
I was, my siblings are all Gen X.

1352
00:54:27,220 --> 00:54:29,220
All right, so you were raised by Gen X.

1353
00:54:29,220 --> 00:54:31,300
Yes, 100%, being there with them.

1354
00:54:31,300 --> 00:54:32,460
And there's that, you know,

1355
00:54:32,460 --> 00:54:35,740
I think there's such value to having,

1356
00:54:35,740 --> 00:54:37,540
I'm familiar with this tree.

1357
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:40,460
I'm familiar with, oh, I see how the water moves here.

1358
00:54:40,460 --> 00:54:43,580
Like that type of thing is very hard to do that.

1359
00:54:43,580 --> 00:54:45,780
I think if you're in hotels for conference,

1360
00:54:45,780 --> 00:54:46,620
like where was I?

1361
00:54:46,620 --> 00:54:47,500
I have no idea.

1362
00:54:47,500 --> 00:54:50,860
You can picture it's the same hotel everywhere, right?

1363
00:54:51,780 --> 00:54:54,020
But I think when we're able to really anchor again,

1364
00:54:54,020 --> 00:54:56,340
slowing down, having those conversations,

1365
00:54:56,340 --> 00:54:59,540
I think that that helps to build that sense of home.

1366
00:54:59,540 --> 00:55:02,380
When people are able to go back multiple times,

1367
00:55:02,380 --> 00:55:04,540
like, oh, I always go to Utah for this one.

1368
00:55:04,540 --> 00:55:05,820
Oh, I always hit, you know,

1369
00:55:05,820 --> 00:55:07,500
I go to this thing in Tennessee.

1370
00:55:07,500 --> 00:55:08,940
I go to this.

1371
00:55:08,940 --> 00:55:12,860
It starts to kind of build more of like a branch

1372
00:55:12,860 --> 00:55:14,060
that has roots to it.

1373
00:55:14,060 --> 00:55:17,540
Like a tree basically is, you know, the people who come,

1374
00:55:17,540 --> 00:55:21,020
the people that you spend time with repetitively there,

1375
00:55:21,020 --> 00:55:23,220
these relationships get deeper and deeper.

1376
00:55:23,220 --> 00:55:24,780
And then it's, they're well, you know,

1377
00:55:24,780 --> 00:55:26,340
because of the caliber of people,

1378
00:55:26,340 --> 00:55:28,740
they're welcoming other people in.

1379
00:55:28,740 --> 00:55:30,460
So it just grows like that.

1380
00:55:30,460 --> 00:55:34,060
I feel like we're just, we can create a community

1381
00:55:34,060 --> 00:55:38,300
that is doing incredible things in the world.

1382
00:55:38,300 --> 00:55:41,020
You know, teaching like, oh, like some of the things,

1383
00:55:41,020 --> 00:55:42,660
you know, that happened with the team

1384
00:55:42,660 --> 00:55:43,940
at First Class Business,

1385
00:55:43,940 --> 00:55:45,660
the way that you've been able to invest in them

1386
00:55:45,660 --> 00:55:48,980
and their leadership and, you know, changing lives.

1387
00:55:48,980 --> 00:55:50,860
What would happen if every entrepreneur

1388
00:55:50,860 --> 00:55:53,740
who went to any of these things learned how to do that?

1389
00:55:53,740 --> 00:55:55,500
What would happen in their community?

1390
00:55:55,500 --> 00:55:57,220
Like, oh my God.

1391
00:55:57,220 --> 00:55:58,060
It'd scale.

1392
00:55:58,060 --> 00:55:58,900
It'd scale.

1393
00:55:58,900 --> 00:56:01,220
It'd scale and it'd scale with happiness.

1394
00:56:01,220 --> 00:56:02,060
Yeah.

1395
00:56:02,060 --> 00:56:03,220
That's where it gets, I wake up,

1396
00:56:03,220 --> 00:56:04,860
I see the messages from the team members

1397
00:56:04,860 --> 00:56:07,220
and I'm like overwhelmed with just joy.

1398
00:56:07,220 --> 00:56:08,260
Like, this is so neat.

1399
00:56:08,260 --> 00:56:11,020
Like these people, their lives are changing.

1400
00:56:11,020 --> 00:56:12,700
They're happy to come to work.

1401
00:56:12,700 --> 00:56:14,180
It's like meeting my best friends every day.

1402
00:56:14,180 --> 00:56:16,060
They are, they become my best friends in the process.

1403
00:56:16,060 --> 00:56:17,900
It is so wonderful.

1404
00:56:17,900 --> 00:56:19,780
And that gives us energy

1405
00:56:19,780 --> 00:56:20,980
to be able to produce great results.

1406
00:56:20,980 --> 00:56:23,660
So I'm glad you talk about that.

1407
00:56:23,660 --> 00:56:25,980
One of my absolute favorite books growing up,

1408
00:56:25,980 --> 00:56:27,500
I read it many, many, many, many times,

1409
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:28,580
was The Giving Tree.

1410
00:56:28,580 --> 00:56:29,420
Oh.

1411
00:56:29,420 --> 00:56:30,980
Right, by Shel Silverstein.

1412
00:56:30,980 --> 00:56:34,180
And you remind me of that and it's like, okay,

1413
00:56:34,180 --> 00:56:38,100
what I say is almost, oh, what's the word for that?

1414
00:56:38,100 --> 00:56:39,620
A heretic.

1415
00:56:39,620 --> 00:56:43,780
It's almost sacrilegious in nature because I'm like, okay,

1416
00:56:43,780 --> 00:56:45,580
I don't wanna devalue the importance

1417
00:56:45,580 --> 00:56:47,820
of that physical tree that exists there, right?

1418
00:56:47,820 --> 00:56:49,660
I had that environment growing up.

1419
00:56:49,660 --> 00:56:54,660
And is there an end that exists there with online tokens?

1420
00:56:54,900 --> 00:56:58,380
Where if somebody is doing the nomads, the nomad side,

1421
00:56:58,380 --> 00:57:01,980
can they still have the tokens that allow them

1422
00:57:01,980 --> 00:57:05,780
to feel connected to their online environment

1423
00:57:05,780 --> 00:57:08,460
while still having a full holistic appreciation

1424
00:57:08,460 --> 00:57:10,780
for the offline world too, right?

1425
00:57:10,780 --> 00:57:13,580
Not like that movie, the movie Surrogates is amazing,

1426
00:57:13,580 --> 00:57:17,340
by the way, with Bruce Willis, it's awkward,

1427
00:57:17,340 --> 00:57:21,420
but it's like so spot on a lot of WALL-E style ways

1428
00:57:21,420 --> 00:57:22,860
that is quite impressive.

1429
00:57:22,860 --> 00:57:26,740
Same thing with Fifth Element, but Surrogates even more so.

1430
00:57:26,740 --> 00:57:31,740
And that challenge of getting lost in the technology,

1431
00:57:33,460 --> 00:57:36,580
but I think as much as I would say,

1432
00:57:36,580 --> 00:57:38,000
you can't really get lost in the world,

1433
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,860
Ralph Aldo Emerson, David Henry Thoreau style,

1434
00:57:40,860 --> 00:57:42,580
like I don't think they got lost,

1435
00:57:42,580 --> 00:57:44,760
they just had a discovery route.

1436
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,540
But what I'm getting at this interface right here,

1437
00:57:47,540 --> 00:57:51,060
for instance, this is part of my tree virtually.

1438
00:57:51,060 --> 00:57:55,020
Like this is, I will have a hard time

1439
00:57:55,020 --> 00:57:57,980
for getting the brand presence of Vision Pros Live

1440
00:57:57,980 --> 00:57:59,860
and the sponsors and the water project

1441
00:57:59,860 --> 00:58:00,820
and first-class business,

1442
00:58:00,820 --> 00:58:03,580
and then being with leaders like you.

1443
00:58:03,580 --> 00:58:07,200
And it's one of those tokens that has allowed

1444
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,360
my Pakistan team, my Philippines team,

1445
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:10,900
my Colombian team, my Peruvian team,

1446
00:58:10,900 --> 00:58:12,780
like all of us and all of the Americans

1447
00:58:12,780 --> 00:58:16,540
that I work with as well to have kind of like,

1448
00:58:17,460 --> 00:58:21,380
almost like a physical token to pull us together

1449
00:58:21,380 --> 00:58:24,700
as we amplify the value of those and make the time

1450
00:58:24,700 --> 00:58:26,760
where we're not rushing as you talked about, right?

1451
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,500
It solidifies a different type of,

1452
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:32,100
and as a big shout out to Cynthia,

1453
00:58:32,100 --> 00:58:34,700
who's behind the scenes producing for us.

1454
00:58:34,700 --> 00:58:36,740
Her and I have been friends for eight years.

1455
00:58:36,740 --> 00:58:38,300
We've been working together very closely

1456
00:58:38,300 --> 00:58:39,460
for about three years.

1457
00:58:39,460 --> 00:58:40,860
We met in Panama two weeks ago,

1458
00:58:40,860 --> 00:58:42,620
it was our first time meeting in person

1459
00:58:42,620 --> 00:58:45,460
and she is my best friend.

1460
00:58:45,460 --> 00:58:48,100
She's been my best friend for years.

1461
00:58:48,100 --> 00:58:53,100
And to be able to meet in person and hug for the first time,

1462
00:58:53,140 --> 00:58:57,620
to be able to work together and not have Zoom interrupt us,

1463
00:58:57,620 --> 00:58:59,160
or some internet, I should pick on Zoom,

1464
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,860
but the internet fall apart or electricity or something.

1465
00:59:03,980 --> 00:59:07,620
I think a lot of people are still very, very unfamiliar

1466
00:59:07,620 --> 00:59:11,280
with just how powerful online relationships can be

1467
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,020
and how authentic and real they can be.

1468
00:59:14,020 --> 00:59:19,020
And we're on the cusp of unlocking new levels

1469
00:59:19,100 --> 00:59:23,660
of relationship realities that over the next six years

1470
00:59:23,660 --> 00:59:27,380
are going to create more stability for the nomads

1471
00:59:27,380 --> 00:59:30,340
that are out there that if they face the challenges

1472
00:59:30,340 --> 00:59:32,120
that my ex-wife and I faced,

1473
00:59:33,260 --> 00:59:38,260
there can be a lack of roots that the kids

1474
00:59:38,260 --> 00:59:43,260
and that the couple themselves are subject to

1475
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,920
that makes it very hard to keep the family together.

1476
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:50,440
That makes it very hard to feel like you have any sense

1477
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,880
of community at all.

1478
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,180
And that's also to me, one of those very big

1479
00:59:55,180 --> 00:59:59,620
obscure vision realities that we're gonna be making

1480
00:59:59,620 --> 01:00:01,680
resources and infrastructure for

1481
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,720
over the coming five to six years.

1482
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,160
Yeah, oh man.

1483
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,600
It comes down to those conversations again.

1484
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,000
You and Cynthia talk how many times a day,

1485
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,080
and it's like over years and years and years.

1486
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,360
And if somebody told you before you start,

1487
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,680
okay, now you're gonna talk to this woman,

1488
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,400
you're never gonna see her for six years,

1489
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,840
you're gonna be talking to her three times a day,

1490
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,760
she's gonna know stuff, you're gonna know stuff.

1491
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:24,680
You'd be like, what?

1492
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,000
It sounds overwhelming.

1493
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:28,160
It's absurd.

1494
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:29,000
It's absurd.

1495
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,420
Or to think that I was gonna have a company

1496
01:00:30,420 --> 01:00:31,560
with multiple companies

1497
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:32,960
or that I was gonna be working with people

1498
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:33,800
all throughout the world.

1499
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:38,160
Like that, no, like that never was the plan.

1500
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:39,000
Yeah.

1501
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,920
Right, it wasn't the plan.

1502
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,920
And that's like, again, but had I been addicted

1503
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,400
to the destination, right?

1504
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,640
Had I been addicted to my original destination plan

1505
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,240
versus open to appreciate in the journey

1506
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,840
and realizing that I don't know the final destination,

1507
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,160
I just show up and live to my best in the moment,

1508
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,440
that took me some time to learn to figure out too,

1509
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,000
but it's amazing how many new doors and new levels

1510
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,400
and new fun, new beauty that it opens

1511
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,280
when we allow ourselves to just kind of be

1512
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,160
and receive what's there.

1513
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:13,840
And it is leaders like yourself

1514
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,120
that allow me to explore and play with that

1515
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:21,400
in a way that is, that you helped me cultivate it

1516
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:25,600
in ways that are both respectful and safe.

1517
01:01:26,620 --> 01:01:29,960
And I don't take that for granted at all.

1518
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,880
It's like what I appreciate most about life

1519
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,680
is having friendships and relationships like you by my side.

1520
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,320
Yeah, it makes us more courageous.

1521
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,680
I mean, doing anything different is kind of scary.

1522
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,000
Can be really scary.

1523
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,400
But when you've got people who really see

1524
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,800
and love you enough to talk you through

1525
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:55,280
and tell you the truth and hang with you, that's huge.

1526
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:59,240
That's what encourage us, fills us with courage

1527
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,120
to be able to go do the thing.

1528
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,440
Absolutely, vision pros, you heard it from Sue Anderson

1529
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,480
of Idlewild Woods Retreat Center.

1530
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,680
You now know the caliber of leader that I feel that she is.

1531
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,960
I hope that you have the opportunity to connect with her,

1532
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,240
not just about the retreat center,

1533
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,720
but also about your copy to Triumph Communications.

1534
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,160
And also in relation to what is it

1535
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,680
that you're trying to accomplish.

1536
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,680
She's a fantastic wise guide to somebody who,

1537
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,120
not wise guy, wise guide.

1538
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:29,960
That's great.

1539
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,280
Who's also willing to have fun with you.

1540
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,760
We'll put all the information on the typical page

1541
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,600
that we put together for these as well.

1542
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,160
In the top right corner, you'll see a button,

1543
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,200
this is be our guest.

1544
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:41,880
If you wanna come on and share your vision with us,

1545
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:43,840
please do, you never know where it could take you.

1546
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,880
It could take both of us to another amazing relationship,

1547
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,920
just like it has with Sue and I.

1548
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,080
And we look forward to meeting all of you

1549
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,280
on the next episode of Vision Pros Live.

1550
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,400
Like, subscribe, do all the things related to that.

1551
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,520
Comment, share, give us feedback too,

1552
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,440
on what you'd like to see us dive into on this show

1553
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:03,840
and on our other shows.

1554
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,960
And if there's any way that we can help you,

1555
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,160
any question that you can ask, don't hesitate to engage.

1556
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,520
We do this for the random people who happen to see it

1557
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:13,960
and are like inspired by it.

1558
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:15,880
Like, man, I kinda wanna do something like that.

1559
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,880
You're the people who inspire me the most.

1560
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,720
The ones I'm unaware of who are quietly behind the scenes

1561
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,920
appreciating this type of a conversation.

1562
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,760
It's when you reach out where I'm like, yes,

1563
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,200
this is exactly why I do this.
