Share with me your first, your last name, where

00:00:02.180 --> 00:00:04.400
you're located, and the name of your business

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.160
and or brand. Yes, so I am Coach Brian Carana.

00:00:09.419 --> 00:00:13.199
I come from Akron, Ohio. You probably heard of

00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.679
this guy, Homer LeBron James. Good year to your

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.820
entire company. Some fun facts of where I'm from.

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.940
I am 42 years young. Married my high school sweetheart,

00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:26.559
fortunately, my partner in crime, Amber. From

00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:29.079
there, we have four kids. We have two in high

00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.539
school. two in middle school three boys and a

00:00:31.539 --> 00:00:35.799
girl ages 15 to 10 we love to travel that's what

00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.259
my wife does is travel advisor putting people

00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:41.119
on epic adventures and getting do those bucket

00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.159
list style things so we've traveled all 50 states

00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.520
multiple countries we're working on all seven

00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.259
continents a pretty unique piece about our family

00:00:50.259 --> 00:00:53.659
and all six of us have gone every place in the

00:00:53.659 --> 00:00:57.439
last about 10 years of time and what brings me

00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.280
i am a founder of The call to rise. It's a hundred

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.900
day weight loss experience to help men in a cohort.

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:09.219
I call them the brotherhood is about eight to

00:01:09.219 --> 00:01:14.299
12 men that I invite into each round to not only

00:01:14.299 --> 00:01:17.400
focus on. improving their health through weight

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.359
loss, but also being a better husband, a better

00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.459
father, a better man, a leader in their social

00:01:23.459 --> 00:01:25.799
circles and the impact that they have in their

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.920
day to day. So we do all sorts of fun weekly

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.540
challenges, quarterly reviews. This is really

00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:33.359
built around radical accountability because oftentimes

00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.760
the people in my world. They are successful in

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.319
their business for their family, but they look

00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.060
in the mirror and they don't have that same level

00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:46.480
of success that greets them when they see the

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.719
reflection back. So I help empower them back

00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.140
to better health and lead even better. So there

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:57.239
you go. That's a bit about me of being in the

00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.040
industry for over 23 years. I love it. And one

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.950
thing that you pointed out to me was men. Matt

00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:10.250
has, what is the focus on men about? Well, as

00:02:10.250 --> 00:02:14.110
a father for entrepreneur for 15 plus years,

00:02:14.289 --> 00:02:18.169
I have a unique experience in helping people.

00:02:18.229 --> 00:02:20.789
I've spent literally as a personal trainer. I've

00:02:20.789 --> 00:02:22.509
owned gyms. I've gotten actually a nutrition

00:02:22.509 --> 00:02:25.990
degree. I've been in the trenches with people

00:02:25.990 --> 00:02:29.870
every single day, having anywhere from five to

00:02:29.870 --> 00:02:33.629
12 conversations a day, day in and day out. And

00:02:33.629 --> 00:02:37.069
the reason men is that when I talk to other men

00:02:37.069 --> 00:02:40.590
in my social circle, they're in a similar state.

00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:42.889
There's a lot of responsibility that's stacked

00:02:42.889 --> 00:02:46.210
up on them. There's a lot of impact that they

00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:49.449
need to have. They're bogged down. Men don't

00:02:49.449 --> 00:02:52.449
speak it out loud, but they're bogged down. I

00:02:52.449 --> 00:02:55.849
feel it myself sometimes. The overwhelm of I

00:02:55.849 --> 00:03:00.229
have 18 things to do on my own checklist. And

00:03:00.229 --> 00:03:01.990
my own responsibilities for taking care of myself

00:03:01.990 --> 00:03:04.169
because that's a priority of mine. I've got the

00:03:04.169 --> 00:03:06.449
honey -do list for my wife and the things at

00:03:06.449 --> 00:03:08.909
home. And then I have the kid list of all the

00:03:08.909 --> 00:03:13.250
things that work out on that part. So I'm juggling

00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:15.669
all these things. When I get done working, what

00:03:15.669 --> 00:03:18.210
do I do? I always have an endless list of things

00:03:18.210 --> 00:03:21.509
that need to go on. But how do I focus my time,

00:03:21.569 --> 00:03:25.789
my energy? And I just feel empowered and inspired

00:03:25.789 --> 00:03:30.460
to help other men. Figure it out as well while

00:03:30.460 --> 00:03:32.699
taking care of yourself, because if you're 30

00:03:32.699 --> 00:03:35.539
pounds overweight, 20, 30 or more, and you have

00:03:35.539 --> 00:03:39.340
health issues, diabetes come knocking on your

00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:42.319
door, it's just going to exacerbate the problem

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.819
even more and make you less resourceful, less

00:03:44.819 --> 00:03:48.740
impactful. And you're just sitting on a couch

00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:51.379
checked out, not actually being a positive role

00:03:51.379 --> 00:03:55.039
model in your family's life and the people around

00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.319
you. So there you go. Oh, no. And you know what?

00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:01.060
I appreciate that. That wasn't just to point

00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:05.099
that out as a negative. And I want anyone listening

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:08.659
to this to hear that because interesting enough,

00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.139
and I'm sure my husband will probably just knock

00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:13.060
me out when he hears this, but he and I were

00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:15.780
just having a conversation. And the conversation

00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:18.600
is often when it comes about where are you at

00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.720
or what are you thinking? It's very minimal and

00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.040
very vague, right? And so when I think about

00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.730
that and I think about what the health and the

00:04:26.730 --> 00:04:30.230
fitness thing does for me, it's an amazing thing

00:04:30.230 --> 00:04:32.850
that you have a focus on men so that they can

00:04:32.850 --> 00:04:37.029
be able to speak and say and do or grunt it out

00:04:37.029 --> 00:04:39.589
or, you know, box it out or whatever is necessary

00:04:39.589 --> 00:04:43.389
for them to be able to do that. Because I will

00:04:43.389 --> 00:04:45.990
say this from a woman's perspective and from

00:04:45.990 --> 00:04:48.790
a woman, the pettiness that I have inside of

00:04:48.790 --> 00:04:52.069
me, the nagging, the honey do list, the everything

00:04:52.069 --> 00:04:56.610
I couldn't imagine. being with me. So I get that.

00:04:58.410 --> 00:05:01.810
Some days it's just a lot. And because you guys

00:05:01.810 --> 00:05:05.230
are men, right? You're supposed to handle everything.

00:05:05.389 --> 00:05:09.230
But we also realize that you need broader shoulders.

00:05:09.589 --> 00:05:12.730
You need bigger biceps. And I know I'm speaking

00:05:12.730 --> 00:05:17.180
literal, but mentally. You need broader shoulders.

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:20.180
You need bigger biceps because you're carrying

00:05:20.180 --> 00:05:23.439
so much. So I want to point that out, Coach Brian,

00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:25.579
that I didn't want to just say that for anybody

00:05:25.579 --> 00:05:28.019
to hear that it's a negative, but that I can

00:05:28.019 --> 00:05:31.319
understand that. And so for that being said,

00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:36.600
what does that program look like? Quickly also

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.259
is some of my best male relationships are founded

00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:44.519
in fitness. Dan is an actual middle school friend.

00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:46.600
I've known him since middle school. Leo is a

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.899
high school friend. Those were two guys that

00:05:48.899 --> 00:05:52.180
I ran with in high school and afterwards. And

00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:54.480
we still connect. We still send silly jokes and

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.000
stuff. We both have. We all have multiple kids,

00:05:58.139 --> 00:06:02.279
four or more kids that we're responsible for.

00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:06.560
Chris, he is, in the last three years, I've known

00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.180
him for about 15 years in my journey. He's a

00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:14.060
local person, obviously, but we connected through

00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:17.500
fitness. Actually, we connected through our kids,

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.800
his two younger daughters that went to school

00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.779
with my kids and my daughter, and we were at

00:06:22.779 --> 00:06:24.839
the father -daughter dance. Hey, let's go have

00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.110
coffee. We had coffee a day or three later. And

00:06:28.110 --> 00:06:31.009
then let me see what the date is. I have it on

00:06:31.009 --> 00:06:34.329
the board over there. It's 5 -8 -23. That was

00:06:34.329 --> 00:06:36.649
our first workout together. And if I were to

00:06:36.649 --> 00:06:38.810
show you the amount of workouts and the time

00:06:38.810 --> 00:06:41.709
that we spent in this place and the impact that

00:06:41.709 --> 00:06:43.509
we've had on each other, it's a brotherhood.

00:06:43.529 --> 00:06:45.569
It's a bond. And it's something that we both

00:06:45.569 --> 00:06:48.870
look forward to. A newer relationship, a middle

00:06:48.870 --> 00:06:54.839
school. of my third son, Maxwell, Andy is the

00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.060
fourth gentleman I'm thinking of, and we go run

00:06:57.060 --> 00:06:59.699
together. And this weekend I supported, he has

00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:03.680
a project outrun. It's about helping kids outrun

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.879
cancer. And he gives them these custom made Nikes

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.459
to help inspire and boost them along the way

00:07:09.459 --> 00:07:11.779
and get them moving. And that's, that's admirable,

00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:14.420
but we are, we go run together and it's founded

00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:16.259
in fitness and taking care of ourselves. So the

00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:19.699
people in my world. that are closest to me, we're

00:07:19.699 --> 00:07:21.759
taking care of ourselves. We do physical exercise

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.860
together to grunt it out, to, to act like we're

00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:26.259
in high school again, when Chris comes over like,

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:31.060
Oh, and it doesn't matter how much weight we're

00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.800
doing or whatever. That's irrelevant. Especially

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.279
when you get in your forties, this is like, I'm

00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.980
just glad I'm moving, but we're pushing each

00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:40.500
other and their presence elevate me. Their presence

00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:45.199
allows me to, to. go at a higher level and have

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.459
that underlying determination to push through

00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:51.220
all the challenges in life because you have many

00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:53.019
children yourself and your relationship with

00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:56.339
your husband and each kid. I've done the math.

00:07:56.939 --> 00:07:59.240
you're juggling 15 relationships in that family

00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.459
all such which way and not all of them are going

00:08:03.459 --> 00:08:07.439
north some are going sideways and it's and and

00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.680
you have to be able to manage that stuff so so

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.779
that's where the common the the cultivation of

00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:15.860
the call to rise came from is understanding there

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:19.839
are other men out there that are in the challenges

00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:25.160
of middle age but it gets way worse If you're

00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.000
not taking care of yourself and it gets way worse

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:33.159
fast. The average male adult is 72, 76, somewhere

00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.340
in there. Am I 40, 50, 80 % done with this life?

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.700
I don't know. I hope that I'm more like 40 and

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:42.759
I still have a long way to go and a lot of impact

00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:45.000
they can make in this life. But also most importantly

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.100
on the people closest to me, my wife, my kids

00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:52.820
and taking care of myself has to be a. base and

00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:55.759
foundation of how I can build everything else

00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.320
off of. And if that base foundation isn't solid,

00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:02.620
it's going to crumble at some point. Hey, I'm

00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:05.399
so glad you got millions in the bank, but now

00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.279
you're paying for your healthcare because you

00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:12.240
have disease. And what was going to be the golden

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.480
years of your life is spent in an assisted living

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:18.360
home because it's too late now. Your legs don't

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.000
work or your your faculty is is compromised or

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.259
whatever. You had a heart attack. Yeah. Right.

00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.860
And so those are things that people don't see

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:31.980
or understand because they're so caught up in

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:34.720
the day to day. Absolutely. There's some of the

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.440
vision inspiration. Yes. And it's interesting

00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.200
you say that because we'll spend money on anything

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.450
else. On anything else, a whole bunch of wants.

00:09:45.750 --> 00:09:50.610
But the needs, not at all. And it's crazy. It's

00:09:50.610 --> 00:09:53.929
like a three -thought process. I need this. I

00:09:53.929 --> 00:09:56.590
could buy it. I could get it. Oh, I got my want.

00:09:56.769 --> 00:09:58.470
You know what I mean? And so it's so interesting

00:09:58.470 --> 00:10:03.809
how that becomes the least focus is your health

00:10:03.809 --> 00:10:07.110
because of what it may cost to be and live a

00:10:07.110 --> 00:10:11.909
healthier life. You have lots of problems. In

00:10:11.909 --> 00:10:13.950
life that we're juggling. But when you have a

00:10:13.950 --> 00:10:16.370
health problem, you have one problem. And it

00:10:16.370 --> 00:10:19.309
happens real fast. Everything else fades away.

00:10:19.529 --> 00:10:22.509
It doesn't matter this little thing that was

00:10:22.509 --> 00:10:24.990
nagging or that thing or this relationship that

00:10:24.990 --> 00:10:27.610
was strained or this business deal that was about

00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:31.210
to happen but is on the cusp. None of that matters

00:10:31.210 --> 00:10:33.529
because of the one health problem that's consuming

00:10:33.529 --> 00:10:37.429
your life now. Tell me about your vision. My

00:10:37.429 --> 00:10:41.169
vision is to help one person at one time. Leave

00:10:41.169 --> 00:10:43.110
them in a better situation than when I found

00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:45.330
them. And that's the golden rule that we were

00:10:45.330 --> 00:10:48.450
taught way back when. And the older I get, the

00:10:48.450 --> 00:10:50.769
more I appreciate that and focus on that because

00:10:50.769 --> 00:10:53.049
every single person I've ever interacted with

00:10:53.049 --> 00:10:57.330
is an individual. They are all unique. You're

00:10:57.330 --> 00:11:01.889
unique, right? Your situation is very unique

00:11:01.889 --> 00:11:05.330
in our world, but your problems are human problems

00:11:05.330 --> 00:11:10.340
and we can solve those. Right. Javanka, you're

00:11:10.340 --> 00:11:13.120
not, you're a very special person, but your situation

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.620
isn't special to me in a sense. And to be able

00:11:15.620 --> 00:11:19.659
to come out and start to voice my experience

00:11:19.659 --> 00:11:24.240
and share my expertise and the impact that I've

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.379
had singularly and to bigger audiences like this

00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:33.159
is the undertone of what I'm doing now and moving

00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.960
into my forties. Again, knowing that my timeline.

00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:39.799
I've got a timeline here. I'm ramping up impact.

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:44.840
What's the impact need to be for me to, when

00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.919
it's that last breath or so that last thought,

00:11:48.059 --> 00:11:51.419
no regrets. And if I stay singularly focused,

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:53.080
that's still really good because it's always

00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.559
just one person at a time, but being able to

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.840
attract bigger, better impact is important because

00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:00.679
if I can drop a pebble in your pond and you take

00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:02.620
something away from this, it's going to help

00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:05.960
those people rippling around. And that is. magical

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.279
in a sense. Absolutely. And I love the fact,

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:10.899
I don't know if you mentioned it here or when

00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:13.179
we were talking previously, it's about eight

00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:16.139
to 10 men at a time. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a hundred

00:12:16.139 --> 00:12:19.070
day. weight loss experience, transformation in

00:12:19.070 --> 00:12:21.710
a sense. All the information's out there, right?

00:12:21.750 --> 00:12:24.029
We live in very much information world and it's

00:12:24.029 --> 00:12:26.590
readily accessible. Go chat to BT, a meal plan,

00:12:26.870 --> 00:12:30.110
chat to BT, a workout plan, and good luck. Because

00:12:30.110 --> 00:12:33.490
it's still not, AI isn't gonna help problem solve

00:12:33.490 --> 00:12:35.649
and troubleshoot what I call the shoelace moments

00:12:35.649 --> 00:12:38.710
in your life. You have four kids, so you can

00:12:38.710 --> 00:12:42.559
really identify this. Hey, your shoe's untied,

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:50.559
number four. And they look at you. You should

00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.799
probably tie that shoe. You might trip and fall

00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.419
or something. And yeah, and sometimes they do

00:12:57.419 --> 00:12:58.919
and other times they don't. And we can totally

00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.259
get away with our shoelace undone. But at some

00:13:03.259 --> 00:13:06.460
point we might stumble on it, trip, fall, face

00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:10.230
plant. face plant that's that is a multiple day

00:13:10.230 --> 00:13:12.549
setback right you got bruises your face is all

00:13:12.549 --> 00:13:14.629
scuffed up you don't want to get on these videos

00:13:14.629 --> 00:13:17.169
in that time you have to explain away why you're

00:13:17.169 --> 00:13:20.509
you got this bump on your this egg bump on your

00:13:20.509 --> 00:13:24.830
head or something and my job is to help call

00:13:24.830 --> 00:13:27.769
those people on those tiny shoelace moment tie

00:13:27.769 --> 00:13:30.529
the shoelace experiences and then teach them

00:13:30.529 --> 00:13:34.610
how to double knot the shoe and if i can do that

00:13:34.610 --> 00:13:36.909
then the shoelace is still going to come untied

00:13:37.210 --> 00:13:39.990
It's just a matter of we're moving in life. We're

00:13:39.990 --> 00:13:41.610
constantly moving. There's constant change and

00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:43.889
the shoelace may come undone, but we're double

00:13:43.889 --> 00:13:46.929
knotting it and tying it tighter in a way with

00:13:46.929 --> 00:13:49.330
strategies that get implemented into the day

00:13:49.330 --> 00:13:52.860
-to -day life to make it. less likely that you're

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:54.639
going to chip and fall. And then we're creating

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.360
a lifestyle. So in a hundred days, it's a transformation

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.440
of lifestyle, not just losing the weight. We're

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.080
not doing fad things or anything. We're using

00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:05.120
science -backed information applied to nutrition,

00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.799
to fitness, to lifestyle, time management, stress

00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.000
management. And we're doing it in a collective

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.259
unit, the brotherhood to empower each other.

00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:18.059
And the tide rises all boats. I'm the tide. They're

00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:21.549
my boats. And it's my job and through my experience

00:14:21.549 --> 00:14:26.450
and just the way I feel called to rise up the

00:14:26.450 --> 00:14:29.950
people who come into my sphere. Chris, my one

00:14:29.950 --> 00:14:31.970
buddy, works out here, the guy that we have our

00:14:31.970 --> 00:14:36.950
broversary date, May 8th. He says, Brian, you

00:14:36.950 --> 00:14:40.419
live your life in plaid. And he said, you saw

00:14:40.419 --> 00:14:42.659
that movie Spaceballs, right? I said, oh yeah,

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:46.279
I love it, right? And there's a point where John

00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.860
Keeney barked the dog and the Han Solo guy, I

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:51.899
can't recall his name, but they're trying to

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:54.279
get away in the RV and then dark helmets coming

00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.179
behind him in the Star Cruiser and they go into

00:14:57.179 --> 00:15:01.639
light speed. And then the light cruiser goes

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.240
into plaid speed. It's like, Ryan, your life

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.960
is plaid. I haven't really met. anyone like that

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:13.299
just from our experiences of of of my life experience

00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:15.399
of being in this industry talking so many people

00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.600
being a father for trying to find balance of

00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.740
all the crazy that goes on and you can attest

00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:23.320
to that what you thought you could think this

00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.100
one thing was happening tonight and eight other

00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:27.539
things happen you're like wow and you put your

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:29.580
head on the bed i don't know what just happened

00:15:29.580 --> 00:15:31.679
that was a whirlwind right it's a roller coaster

00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.950
here To be able to leverage that stuff to help

00:15:34.950 --> 00:15:37.110
empower other people who are going through similar

00:15:37.110 --> 00:15:39.809
situations and the challenges of life and guys.

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.659
Let's focus on our health, focus on us amongst

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:45.860
the crazy, busy responsibilities that you have.

00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:48.559
And I'm feeling that, too, that as I age every

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.399
single year, there's growing responsibilities.

00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:52.840
I have four kids. At some point, they're likely

00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.240
to have grandchildren. And at some point now,

00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:56.659
all of a sudden, instead of being responsible

00:15:56.659 --> 00:15:59.919
for five people with four cats and a dog for

00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:02.940
right now, then I'm going to have more people.

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.759
I'm going to have their spouses. I'm going to

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:09.139
have their their kids, my grandkids and the influence

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:10.860
that I need to have in these. people's life and

00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:12.960
be able to take care of them and honor them and

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.120
show up for them is incredibly important to be

00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.460
able to, to share with other men that are similar

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:23.480
minded, but just don't like the way they look

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.960
or feel because then they can't keep up with

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.440
the demands of life and they start to fade. Thank
