WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.200 Please do me a favor for those that are just 00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:04.400 listening. Share your first name, last name, 00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:06.700 the name of your business company or anything 00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:09.939 that you do and also where you're located. Sure. 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.839 Thank you. My name is Dan Schinder. No C, no 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.879 L. It's Schinder. S -H -I -N -D -E -R. Easy. 00:00:18.339 --> 00:00:22.079 And I have two companies. The first company is 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.000 Drum Talk TV Incorporated. We're 12 and a half 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:28.839 years old. I founded it January 7th of 2020. 00:00:30.099 --> 00:00:34.060 And in our first year, because we skyrocketed 00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.520 way past everybody in our space, we were the 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.659 newest brand by 10 years. It inspired me to start 00:00:39.659 --> 00:00:42.039 a marketing, coaching and consulting training 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.240 company to teach. I felt a responsibility to 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.380 teach and share the strategies I used of how 00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:51.020 we grew even in that first year organically. 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.920 We've reached 100 million people a year online 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.899 without spending any money. So that second company 00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:01.939 was kind of born out of that. I'm located way 00:01:01.939 --> 00:01:05.900 far away from anything now. I'm originally from 00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:08.180 Los Angeles. My wife's from Bronx, New York. 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:10.920 We lived in Las Vegas for years. And now we live 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.840 in a very, very tiny city of about 7 ,500 people 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.819 called Globe, Arizona. It's 100 miles east of 00:01:18.819 --> 00:01:23.090 Phoenix up in the mountains. We were pretty productive 00:01:23.090 --> 00:01:26.189 as people and entrepreneurs, but when we moved 00:01:26.189 --> 00:01:29.469 and changed the whole vibration of where we were 00:01:29.469 --> 00:01:33.650 compared to the cities, you know, over stimulation, 00:01:34.150 --> 00:01:37.530 we got even more productive. I mean, it was truly 00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:42.430 an instant transformation. That's what I do. 00:01:42.549 --> 00:01:46.390 That's where I am. Who I am is I'm a husband. 00:01:46.870 --> 00:01:50.650 We have a blended family of 11 grown kids, 19 00:01:50.650 --> 00:01:54.010 grandkids and a one and a half year old great 00:01:54.010 --> 00:01:55.950 grandson. It's hard for me to even pronounce 00:01:55.950 --> 00:01:59.969 those words. And we have three dogs, two cats. 00:02:00.209 --> 00:02:03.790 And for hobbies, I do quite a few things. But 00:02:03.790 --> 00:02:06.569 my daily hobbies, I grow flowers and herbs and 00:02:06.569 --> 00:02:12.199 stuff to keep me off the news. I love that. I 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.520 love that. It's so funny. You said 11 blended. 00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:22.360 Yeah. 19 grand and one great grand. Yeah. Okay. 00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:26.599 So anybody that's listening, go find this show 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.060 and you would never guess what Dan looks like. 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.780 Doesn't even look like any of us. I'll give this 00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:39.919 much away. I am in my sixties. Yeah. Oh, yeah. 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.879 Okay. So everybody, if you're just running on 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.840 the treadmill, just quickly just open up your 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.800 phone and take a look. He looks nothing like 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:52.539 it at all. This is my better seven tenths right 00:02:52.539 --> 00:02:55.879 there. She's older than me. Don't tell her I 00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:01.479 told you. Look nothing like it. I love it. And 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.759 that to me says that. As a business owner, an 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.860 entrepreneur, and someone that has reached the 00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:11.620 level that you have, I'm going to say this. And 00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:14.740 to be the age that you are, you don't look like 00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:18.159 you let it take over you. Thanks. I came close. 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:24.039 Yeah, okay. I did come close by accident. I really 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.389 don't mention this a lot, but... I feel comfortable 00:03:27.389 --> 00:03:29.810 and it fits. And, you know, we kept it a secret 00:03:29.810 --> 00:03:31.490 for a while because we didn't want people to 00:03:31.490 --> 00:03:34.969 not get involved with me for the sake of worry. 00:03:35.110 --> 00:03:38.069 But shortly after we first moved here, I was 00:03:38.069 --> 00:03:41.229 working on a documentary that I had just filmed 00:03:41.229 --> 00:03:43.810 with Billy Cobham, the forefather of fusion music. 00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:47.550 And I was under a lot of pressure that, of course, 00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:51.110 I put on myself to get it done by a certain time. 00:03:51.210 --> 00:03:53.469 And we were leaving to go to Oregon for one of 00:03:53.469 --> 00:03:56.020 my daughter's weddings. Well, one of my... it's 00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:58.340 her only wedding, one of my daughter's wedding. 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.960 Yeah. And, and the night before I was sitting 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.939 right here and I just started hallucinating and 00:04:05.939 --> 00:04:09.020 all this stuff. And, and to make a long story 00:04:09.020 --> 00:04:12.800 short, I had not been very good at working in 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.980 balance. And I had a few mini strokes just sitting 00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:20.839 here. And my wife said, there's no way we're 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:22.879 getting on the plane to go to Oregon tomorrow. 00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:25.300 And I said, there's no way we're missing that 00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:29.000 wedding. And we went. And I was okay except for 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.420 one little thing. And then we came back. And 00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:35.399 she, I'm whispering because I don't want her 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.819 to hear me tell this story. She went to the market 00:04:39.819 --> 00:04:43.459 and came back. and i was wandering around outside 00:04:43.459 --> 00:04:46.379 in our yard where we we park our cars come into 00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:49.100 our our yard it's all concrete and i do container 00:04:49.100 --> 00:04:51.399 gardening and i was wandering around yelling 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.959 for her and she came up to me and said my eyes 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.079 were like twirling she said what's wrong and 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.759 i was like angry where were you and i didn't 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.519 remember that she went to the market to make 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.759 a nice dinner i didn't for a while even remember 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:07.000 that we had just got back from oregon from the 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.000 airport like a short a couple hours ago so that 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.800 That really scared me. That was eight and a half 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.480 years ago, right after we moved here. Actually, 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.740 yeah, it was right after we moved here. So I 00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:24.959 really go out of my way, not just for myself 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.360 to do the right things, but to tell people. And 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.300 I'm in really good shape. I'm healthy. I've been 00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:33.100 a drummer 55 years. I'm very physically active. 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.259 I do all kinds of stuff with the dogs. I build 00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:39.759 stuff together. But don't let that fool you. 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.920 yeah you know don't don't let good health make 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.160 you feel like you could push that envelope farther 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.800 because this the nervous system is different 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.860 no matter how strong you are no matter how how 00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:53.800 physically you feel you can hold up it's the 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.500 brain that gave way you know so as entrepreneurs 00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:01.120 as business people even c -suite managers even 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.279 college students that have so much put on them 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.939 and then they got it two jobs we have to have 00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:10.949 that balance you have to be able to take that 00:06:10.949 --> 00:06:13.589 time to rejuvenate and take care of yourself, 00:06:13.750 --> 00:06:20.009 do the right things. And it pays off. I want 00:06:20.009 --> 00:06:22.410 to first say thank you for choosing to share 00:06:22.410 --> 00:06:25.490 that story with me because that says something 00:06:25.490 --> 00:06:28.750 so much bigger than the journey, right? Because 00:06:28.750 --> 00:06:32.829 you are where you are regardless. No one ever 00:06:32.829 --> 00:06:36.610 really thinks about. the journey one takes or 00:06:36.610 --> 00:06:40.310 that moment in life that says, I need to change. 00:06:40.370 --> 00:06:43.350 I must change because I physically look good. 00:06:43.629 --> 00:06:46.209 And when does that change usually happen? When 00:06:46.209 --> 00:06:49.389 the worst possible, you know, like my dad quit 00:06:49.389 --> 00:06:51.750 smoking when he had his first heart attack. That's 00:06:51.750 --> 00:06:54.410 what it took, you know, things like that. But 00:06:54.410 --> 00:06:56.470 what, you know, what it really taught me was, 00:06:56.550 --> 00:06:58.829 and I'm getting more comfortable talking about 00:06:58.829 --> 00:07:04.399 it because it taught me that. If I hadn't finished 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.060 it when I wanted to, the documentary I was working 00:07:07.060 --> 00:07:08.980 on, and it got done, and then we did another 00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:12.180 one. But if I hadn't finished it when it was 00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:14.759 planned, even if it wasn't my decision to put 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.240 that on me, someone else. What's the worst thing 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.160 that could have happened? You know, the black 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.120 helicopters with people in black Kevlar and machine 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.279 guns are not coming after me. What's the worst 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.540 thing that could ever happen if you just put 00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:29.300 stuff off because you realize it got to slow 00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:31.779 down? You might miss an opportunity here or there. 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.339 Well, you'll get other opportunities the same 00:07:34.339 --> 00:07:36.399 way you got that opportunity. So what? You didn't 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.360 follow through. Maybe you got to give someone 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.680 a refund of a lot of money because you just did. 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.019 Your health has to come first, especially when 00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:46.139 there's others that depend on you. your team, 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.120 your family, and nothing else matters if that 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.939 doesn't matter. I really learned what could have 00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:57.480 been a very much harder way. And so I'm grateful 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.540 that it didn't have any, I don't think it had 00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:03.000 any long -term effects. I hope not. Who knows? 00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:05.560 I don't know. My wife could be behind me laughing 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.550 at me or, you know. doing who knows what, pretending 00:08:08.550 --> 00:08:12.310 she's stabbing me. I don't know. But it's important. 00:08:12.449 --> 00:08:14.709 It's so important for younger entrepreneurs. 00:08:14.949 --> 00:08:17.750 And I don't mean by age, but I mean by people 00:08:17.750 --> 00:08:19.449 like my wife became an entrepreneur when she 00:08:19.449 --> 00:08:24.009 was 50. And if you're new to entrepreneurship, 00:08:24.329 --> 00:08:29.569 there's no way you can really grasp. And Giovanna, 00:08:29.569 --> 00:08:33.669 I'm sure you understand. There's no way, Giovanna, 00:08:33.750 --> 00:08:37.090 that you could really prepare yourself. and understand 00:08:37.090 --> 00:08:41.070 what's what's coming and a lot of that we bring 00:08:41.070 --> 00:08:44.490 on ourself by which is okay and it's measured 00:08:44.490 --> 00:08:47.470 by how successful do you want to be how remarkable 00:08:47.470 --> 00:08:49.429 do you want your product or service to be how 00:08:49.429 --> 00:08:51.110 much do you want to break through that glass 00:08:51.110 --> 00:08:54.370 ceiling really stand it takes work there's no 00:08:54.370 --> 00:08:57.950 big shiny object like ai that's going to do it 00:08:57.950 --> 00:09:01.269 for you you've got to put in the work but if 00:09:01.269 --> 00:09:04.659 you don't work in that self -care and that balance, 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:10.659 you know, a face mask, the slippers for your 00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:14.659 feet, you know, that hydrate your skin, a massage, 00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:18.860 going for a walk, whatever your jam is, eat a 00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:21.580 candy bar, you know, whatever it is, you've got 00:09:21.580 --> 00:09:24.799 to work then because there's no way you can understand 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.620 until you sit there and look back on it and go. 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.600 how did i get through that yes but it fortifies 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.639 you for whatever else is coming that's next level 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.820 next level next level next level and that's how 00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:42.120 people like richard branson that's how people 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.360 like martin luther king that's how people like 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.340 malcolm x that's how people like steve jobs got 00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:51.139 to where they were by fortifying their their 00:09:51.139 --> 00:09:53.720 emotions their foundation, their emotional foundation, 00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:57.259 their mind always be learned. It's so that matrix 00:09:57.259 --> 00:10:00.659 is so wide and so deep that it's easy for people 00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:02.980 to just throw their hands up and say, F it. I'm 00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:05.220 just going to go get a job and work for the man 00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:07.500 again, because it's dependable. And if that's 00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:09.480 what people want to do, that's totally okay. 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.799 We all serve each other differently. You know, 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.340 some, someone has to check the groceries at the 00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:18.299 grocery counter. Someone's got to invent the 00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:20.820 next iPhone. Someone's got whatever it is. It 00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:23.539 doesn't matter. you still need to work in self 00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:25.500 -care. You don't have to be an entrepreneur for 00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:27.159 that to be important, right? Well, I was going 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:31.299 to say another weird sort of way I balance is, 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.559 so I mentioned I live a hundred miles from Phoenix 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.759 up in the mountains and I go down there maybe 00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:41.620 three to five times a month on business. I go 00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:46.720 to a entrepreneur. community meeting and do all 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.620 this stuff. And then since I'm down there, I 00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:51.240 set up a couple of other meetings. And I listen 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.120 to, on average, three audio books a month. And 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.259 they're always on business, except for maybe 00:10:57.259 --> 00:11:00.559 10 % of the time, I'll listen to a biography 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.879 of one of my favorite music artists. Other than 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:04.539 that, it's business, business. I listen to them 00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:08.820 twice, three books a month. And I have a rule 00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:11.899 that when it's a business day like that, I have 00:11:11.899 --> 00:11:14.769 an hour and a half down there. or 45 an hour 00:11:14.769 --> 00:11:17.990 and a half back and i don't listen to music i 00:11:17.990 --> 00:11:20.830 only listen i get my audiobook time in and i 00:11:20.830 --> 00:11:23.009 listen to it in the morning when i'm getting 00:11:23.009 --> 00:11:25.629 stuff ready you know feeding our zoo and getting 00:11:25.629 --> 00:11:29.429 coffee for my wife before she gets up and it's 00:11:29.429 --> 00:11:32.029 that's another way i balance but i'm also feeding 00:11:32.029 --> 00:11:36.509 my brain and and then when we go on long trips 00:11:36.509 --> 00:11:41.279 with my wife i might And we rode as much as possible. 00:11:41.299 --> 00:11:43.299 When we go to LA, when we go to San Diego, going 00:11:43.299 --> 00:11:45.580 to San Diego for Father's Day and my other son's 00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:48.320 birthday, my other son, because one of them works 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.990 with me. we will listen to music or we'll just 00:11:51.990 --> 00:11:54.750 talk but i'll say hey there's this section i 00:11:54.750 --> 00:11:57.090 want you to hear what do you think about this 00:11:57.090 --> 00:11:59.649 chapter being an assignment for the team and 00:11:59.649 --> 00:12:02.590 we will assign my wife is also our hr manager 00:12:02.590 --> 00:12:05.129 and she's an artist and a therapist she makes 00:12:05.129 --> 00:12:07.250 art therapy so i thought she'd be a great hr 00:12:07.250 --> 00:12:09.669 manager she's like a den mother my babysitter 00:12:09.669 --> 00:12:11.929 i mean to be married to a therapist great for 00:12:11.929 --> 00:12:15.940 me not so good for her all the time but but And 00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:18.159 then we'll assign them a chapter to listen to 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.159 or sometimes a whole book simply no matter what 00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:23.039 their position is so we can all be on the same 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.580 page. Because one of the rules we have is no 00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:28.440 matter what someone's position is, everyone's 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:32.019 always welcome to chime in on an idea that might 00:12:32.019 --> 00:12:34.580 not even have to do with any of their responsibilities 00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:37.740 or it might mainly fall on some other department. 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.659 And maybe that person who brought it up does 00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:42.519 the artwork for it. But this person has a great 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.539 idea for a new membership perk or tier or something. 00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:49.059 So we want everyone to know what I learned and 00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:51.259 what I know. And everything I listen to has to 00:12:51.259 --> 00:12:54.779 do with business growth, entrepreneurship, marketing, 00:12:55.019 --> 00:12:58.559 and scaling, basically, are the four. And they're 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.940 very related, of course, and sometimes very intertwined. 00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:05.860 Yes. So I use that as a way of, it's chill time 00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:09.440 for me. But it's also so it's balanced because 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.200 I'm not here doing all this digital work, which 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.899 drives me crazy. I've been an artist my whole 00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:18.320 life as well. I'm in music. I was a professional 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.539 musician at 15. So I'm very right brain as well. 00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:23.919 But I'll tell you, all these pictures on the 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:28.480 wall, all these things on the wall, they're covering 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.379 up holes in the wall for me banging my head against 00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:33.679 it. Working with people in the music industry, 00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:36.220 bless their hearts. I'm from that tribe. But 00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:38.159 when there's nothing going on on the left side 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.840 of the brain, it's all creative. The business 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.500 side, it falters and it fails. And my wife and 00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:45.700 I happen to be business people that are artists 00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:48.419 as opposed to artists. trying to do business 00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:50.700 that don't want to put in the time and you have 00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:53.320 to put in the time to learn and get uncomfortable 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.600 with the part of business that you don't want 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.440 to do because it's easy to just get a manager, 00:13:58.500 --> 00:14:00.639 just get a PR person, get an assistant. That's 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:01.820 great, but how are you going to choose the right 00:14:01.820 --> 00:14:04.269 one if you don't know? how it works. Same thing 00:14:04.269 --> 00:14:06.149 with when I teach marketing, I tell that, Oh, 00:14:06.149 --> 00:14:07.870 great. You got somebody. Oh, great. You got an 00:14:07.870 --> 00:14:10.549 agency is a business owner. You need to know 00:14:10.549 --> 00:14:12.850 this stuff too. So you can collaborate better 00:14:12.850 --> 00:14:15.610 and brainstorm, you know, get to that, that critical 00:14:15.610 --> 00:14:19.389 mass, that apex point of the perfect content. 00:14:19.889 --> 00:14:23.809 So I find listening to business books, part of 00:14:23.809 --> 00:14:27.509 my balance and chill time. And I focus on it 00:14:27.509 --> 00:14:30.149 a hundred percent. I don't have it on while I'm 00:14:30.149 --> 00:14:34.320 working here or editing video. I'm only listening. 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.399 That's the only thing that has my attention other 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.340 than maybe cooking or going for my walk or the 00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:42.840 drive. And that's it. So, right. I've got some 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.519 great books back here, but as time has gone on, 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.620 it's, I'll read a book if that's the only way 00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:55.159 it comes. But other than that, I love audio books. 00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:57.980 You can rewind, you can flag stuff. I'll record 00:14:57.980 --> 00:15:00.279 it sometimes and play it for my team or for my 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.519 wife. it's just and i love when the author reads 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.639 it it's not always but when the author reads 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.539 it i just love it and it you it's a responsibility 00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:12.580 you have to yourself as a human let alone an 00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:15.899 entrepreneur if you love horticulture learn about 00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:18.899 it don't just you know what i mean it's it's 00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:23.639 it's so important and and it it's very inspiring 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.980 for me too you know like We, we want to, we have 00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:31.379 a big exit plan for three to five years. I, I 00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:34.039 want to, it sounds terrible when I say get out, 00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:35.639 but you know what I mean? I want to get out while 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.620 I'm still, well, it's all perspective while I'm 00:15:38.620 --> 00:15:41.940 still young, but very, you know, fit and healthy. 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.360 So my wife can, and I don't want to work till 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:46.399 I'm 85. I'm not one of those people that wants 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:49.970 to, I heard so many. I don't have anything against 00:15:49.970 --> 00:15:51.629 it, but I hear so many entrepreneurs say, hey, 00:15:51.690 --> 00:15:55.409 I'm going to die doing this at 94. I'm not interested 00:15:55.409 --> 00:16:00.169 in that. I got other plans and I don't want to 00:16:00.169 --> 00:16:02.789 be pushed around in a wheelchair because I'm 00:16:02.789 --> 00:16:07.309 so old and frail or because I'm ill. I want to 00:16:07.309 --> 00:16:09.610 do it while I can. You know what I mean? And 00:16:09.610 --> 00:16:11.750 nothing against people who are in wheels. And 00:16:11.750 --> 00:16:13.269 I don't mean it like that. I think people understand 00:16:13.269 --> 00:16:14.929 what I mean. I want to do it while I'm young 00:16:14.929 --> 00:16:19.200 and I'm young. Is this the new 33s or something 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.919 like that? You just made that up, Dan. I did. 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.899 I love it though. My son Alex is going to be 00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:30.320 35 the day after. He's the second youngest of 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.200 all 11. And he's going to be 35 on Monday. And 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.639 I'm going to have the talk with him and I'm going 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.090 to say. it goes by like think how quickly this 00:16:38.090 --> 00:16:42.730 went by i'm gonna say it goes by so fast don't 00:16:42.730 --> 00:16:45.309 put anything off don't second guess just dive 00:16:45.309 --> 00:16:48.909 in just do it kick doors down kick ass have fun 00:16:48.909 --> 00:16:52.230 be productive be good give back and and make 00:16:52.230 --> 00:16:58.289 stuff happen just tell me about your vision i've 00:16:58.289 --> 00:17:01.330 got like different levels so I'll give you the 00:17:01.330 --> 00:17:03.929 where we are now and then the after I'm out, 00:17:04.109 --> 00:17:06.910 if that's okay.

I want to write adventure 00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:38.259 fiction. I've dabbled in that a bit, historical 00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:42.500 period adventure fiction, but I want to travel 00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:44.880 for the research instead of using Google. We 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:46.980 want to have a dog rescue ranch. We have five 00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:51.250 rescues, two cats, three dogs, and just... live 00:20:51.250 --> 00:20:54.509 life. And I had a cooking show on TV years and 00:20:54.509 --> 00:20:56.809 years ago. So I've gone back and forth about 00:20:56.809 --> 00:20:58.890 bringing that back. That was before YouTube. 00:20:59.089 --> 00:21:01.930 Like I stopped doing it right before YouTube 00:21:01.930 --> 00:21:04.210 came out. And there's been times where I've thought, 00:21:04.289 --> 00:21:06.910 wow, I've, I've gotten, I've reached a hundred 00:21:06.910 --> 00:21:09.269 million people a year online with Trump talk 00:21:09.269 --> 00:21:12.150 TV. We have a million and a half fans on social. 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:14.740 I wonder what would happen if I brought my cooking 00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:17.059 show back because more people are into food, 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.259 I think, than into drumming. But everyone's immune. 00:21:19.339 --> 00:21:21.299 So I've kind of toyed with that idea. We'll see. 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.259 We'll see. So those are my two levels of my vision 00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:27.720 now and my vision next. Thank you for being here 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:29.599 today.
