00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.980
Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of

00:00:01.980 --> 00:00:05.519
Vision Pros Live. I'm your host and coach, Fletcher

00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:07.860
Ellingson. So glad you're in this conversation.

00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:12.320
So glad you are showing up today. I think these

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.079
conversations are important. Why? Because we're

00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.250
talking about... Stuff that matters, our health,

00:00:19.370 --> 00:00:22.050
our wealth, our relationships, how to get to

00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:24.350
that next level, how to bring a greater sense

00:00:24.350 --> 00:00:27.390
of workability to our lives and the lives of

00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:31.890
those around us. And today, our guest is Glenn

00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:36.409
Lubert from Stamina Lab, and welcome to the show.

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.509
Thank you for having me, Fletcher. Yeah, yeah.

00:00:39.590 --> 00:00:42.630
Hey, before we dive into what it is you do, before

00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:45.750
we dive into who it is you help, let's start

00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:47.780
off with the win. And the reason I like to do

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:49.840
this is because there's a lot of uncertainty.

00:00:49.859 --> 00:00:52.859
There's a lot of suffering occurring in our world

00:00:52.859 --> 00:00:56.700
at this moment. And let's remind people that

00:00:56.700 --> 00:01:02.060
good is still happening and that we can be the

00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:07.620
cause in good occurring. So I like to remind

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:10.640
people that wherever you put your focus, that's

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.209
going to determine how you feel. So what's something

00:01:13.209 --> 00:01:15.409
that's going well in your life, either professionally

00:01:15.409 --> 00:01:18.849
and or personally? Oh, that's a great question.

00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:23.650
Personally, I would say that what's going well

00:01:23.650 --> 00:01:26.629
is I've been training for my first marathon,

00:01:26.890 --> 00:01:29.750
and it's coming up in December. And I think what

00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:32.590
the win, I like to say, is that getting up in

00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:36.349
the morning for these training runs. has is a

00:01:36.349 --> 00:01:38.329
challenge you know you have to get up early especially

00:01:38.329 --> 00:01:41.829
here i'm in austin texas so it's uh hot um during

00:01:41.829 --> 00:01:43.290
the summer so you have to get up early in the

00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:47.129
morning before dawn and getting up regardless

00:01:47.129 --> 00:01:49.969
of how far i'm running just the act of getting

00:01:49.969 --> 00:01:54.189
up every morning and and that discipline or that

00:01:54.189 --> 00:01:56.939
or sometimes you know just convincing yourself

00:01:56.939 --> 00:01:59.459
to get out that door adds a little bit of extra

00:01:59.459 --> 00:02:03.280
confidence uh to my days because you know i've

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.340
done something hard even if it's even if i don't

00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:07.939
go run that far just the act i got up and got

00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:12.120
out the door um is the win i would say and that

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.780
just really just get i guess that gives me a

00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:16.180
little extra confidence for the whole day that

00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:18.840
you know i've done something something hard already

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.759
and um you know i'm ready to take on the day

00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.759
i could tell The days that I don't do that, I

00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.300
haven't been able to do it. That's okay. It's

00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:32.340
okay not to do it every day, but I wish I had

00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:34.659
that feeling that I had the day that I did that

00:02:34.659 --> 00:02:37.939
extra hard thing and got up and got out the door.

00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:41.680
That's my personal win, I would say. That's a

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.699
great win. Everything you just said is spot on.

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.139
you're taking you're doing a physical activity

00:02:50.139 --> 00:02:56.560
which determine like takes willpower um and you're

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.479
exerting yourself uh you know you're doing something

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:05.219
strenuous so you it's like you said you come

00:03:05.219 --> 00:03:07.400
back and you're like oh yeah that was a shot

00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.800
of confidence like i can take on the day right

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.300
i mean it's a lot of what i now have to do might

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:15.650
seem easy in comparison right Exactly. Exactly.

00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:18.650
And it's just it's an underlying little bit of

00:03:18.650 --> 00:03:21.129
confidence that you have in yourself that is

00:03:21.129 --> 00:03:25.030
is I guess the absence of it is when I notice

00:03:25.030 --> 00:03:28.409
it. Yes, exactly. And, you know, it's it's it's

00:03:28.409 --> 00:03:32.469
also this matter of thinking it's it's well,

00:03:32.590 --> 00:03:36.449
I could get up and do that versus I got up and

00:03:36.449 --> 00:03:41.150
I did that. Yeah. Right. A lot of us. Oh, yeah.

00:03:41.229 --> 00:03:45.020
I mean, I could get up and do that. But Glenn

00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:49.280
actually got up and did it. Yeah. And that's

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.159
a big difference. Yeah. So first of all, I just

00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.080
want to acknowledge you for taking on your fitness

00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.280
at this level. You said this is going to be your

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.259
first marathon. Is that accurate? That's correct.

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.020
Yeah. I was a Division I track and field runner

00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:11.620
back in my youth. And I stopped running. Many

00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:13.319
reasons. One of them is I started a company and

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:18.220
it takes over everything. And I did not respect

00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:21.120
my health and well -being during that. time period

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.600
and I got burned out. So as I started a stamina

00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:26.480
lab, you know, one of the key things that I wanted

00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.199
to do was make sure that I had a health first

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.019
approach to myself because I knew that not only

00:04:32.019 --> 00:04:34.180
was it good for myself, but it was good for everyone

00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:37.420
around me. My team, my colleagues, my loved ones

00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:40.459
to have that, you know, put your oxygen mask

00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:43.620
on first type situation. And it wasn't taking

00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:45.480
away from the business. It was enhancing the

00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.519
business by doing that. So, you know, I started

00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.689
running with a running group. here in austin

00:04:50.689 --> 00:04:52.870
and you know before long they're like oh you

00:04:52.870 --> 00:04:55.470
should try a half marathon i'm like oh i don't

00:04:55.470 --> 00:04:57.750
i don't have any interest and they're like well

00:04:57.750 --> 00:05:00.170
it's a downhill half marathon i'm like all right

00:05:00.170 --> 00:05:04.310
i'll give that a try and so uh you know three

00:05:04.310 --> 00:05:06.870
of those now then so someone's like well you

00:05:06.870 --> 00:05:08.689
should try a marathon i'm like well i don't have

00:05:08.689 --> 00:05:10.889
any interest in doing that but you know here

00:05:10.889 --> 00:05:13.810
i am uh giving it a try because because you know

00:05:13.810 --> 00:05:16.100
it's just that little extra challenge like we

00:05:16.100 --> 00:05:17.560
talked about the discipline of getting up in

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.399
the morning that shot of confidence is kind of

00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.060
as addicting yeah oh gosh so many good things

00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:24.980
here i'm just i'm making some notes because i

00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:26.399
want to really want to highlight some of this

00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:32.360
for our our listeners here you said um you're

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.579
taking a health first approach for yourself yeah

00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:39.060
okay let's just pause there for a second because

00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:42.139
i love this idea and i really want to invite

00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:46.879
our listeners to ask themselves this uh reflect

00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.379
first of all what he just said he's taking on

00:05:49.379 --> 00:05:55.000
a health first approach for himself we all know

00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.379
intellectually that this is a wise thing to do

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:04.860
to keep the machine healthy and running at at

00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:08.379
its optimal level we all intellectually understand

00:06:08.379 --> 00:06:13.079
that that's an important thing to do And what

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.019
I want to invite you who are listening is I want

00:06:16.019 --> 00:06:19.100
to invite you to just ask yourself, do I have

00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:25.699
a health first approach for myself? Do I practice

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:31.100
a health first approach for myself? Now, and

00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:34.399
just listen to your answer. You might say, yeah,

00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:37.800
I do. You might say, no, I don't. You might have

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.519
a lot of chatter in your brain about rationalizing

00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.639
why you do or you don't. And there's no good,

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.420
bad, right, or wrong answer. This is not about

00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:49.579
guilting or shaming anybody. I just want you

00:06:49.579 --> 00:06:55.160
to get curious. Do I have a health -first approach

00:06:55.160 --> 00:07:02.160
for myself? And if you see something in there

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.319
for yourself, this is an opportunity. This is

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.360
your access point, perhaps, to taking a different

00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.920
action. You also mentioned the word discipline

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.930
a couple times. I want to pause there and just

00:07:14.930 --> 00:07:17.529
take a moment because a lot of people, when they

00:07:17.529 --> 00:07:21.189
hear that, like, well, yeah, Glenn's, of course,

00:07:21.189 --> 00:07:24.209
Glenn's doing training for a marathon. He's disciplined.

00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:28.589
You know, a lot of us are going to say, like,

00:07:28.589 --> 00:07:32.470
I don't have that discipline. Well, first of

00:07:32.470 --> 00:07:35.290
all, we need to really define what discipline

00:07:35.290 --> 00:07:38.509
is because a lot of us think that it's some magical

00:07:38.509 --> 00:07:41.449
element that you either have or you don't. Oh,

00:07:41.509 --> 00:07:44.410
I'm not disciplined. I mean, look at Glenn. He's

00:07:44.410 --> 00:07:46.750
so disciplined. He gets up before the crack of

00:07:46.750 --> 00:07:50.670
dawn. Look, discipline is not the act of getting

00:07:50.670 --> 00:07:53.189
up and running. That's not the discipline. The

00:07:53.189 --> 00:07:56.550
discipline takes place before that. The discipline

00:07:56.550 --> 00:08:01.029
is the ability to direct your thinking and your

00:08:01.029 --> 00:08:05.910
focus. That's it. That's all discipline is. It's

00:08:05.910 --> 00:08:09.209
the practice of directing your thinking and focus

00:08:09.209 --> 00:08:14.709
so that... You can get up while it's still dark

00:08:14.709 --> 00:08:21.649
and go run. So what I want our people to listen,

00:08:21.850 --> 00:08:24.410
listening, what I want them to hear is that this

00:08:24.410 --> 00:08:29.089
guy Glenn from Stamina Labs, when he talks about

00:08:29.089 --> 00:08:31.629
discipline, what he's saying is that I'm practicing

00:08:31.629 --> 00:08:35.590
directing my thinking in such a manner that I

00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:41.740
can then take specific actions. And what I want

00:08:41.740 --> 00:08:44.759
our people to know is that you can do that too.

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.259
Discipline is a practice. You're not born with

00:08:49.259 --> 00:08:51.740
it. It's not a magical thing. It's a practice.

00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:55.259
Glenn, chime in. Are we on the same page here?

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:57.460
Yeah, I think there's two things that came up

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:59.500
for me when you were saying that, which was one

00:08:59.500 --> 00:09:04.720
is the way that, at least I'm applying it here

00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.440
in this context of getting up in the morning,

00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:09.379
but in general with... behavior change and our

00:09:09.379 --> 00:09:11.620
solution focused approach that we can talk about

00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:16.379
at stamina lab that we do is that it's understanding

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:19.179
why i'm doing this you know what differences

00:09:19.179 --> 00:09:21.360
are going to make in my life and so that so a

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.340
lot of times we talk about the negative i don't

00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:26.200
want to do this i don't want to do that um it's

00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.340
but what do you want instead you know we talked

00:09:28.340 --> 00:09:31.679
we have a metaphor where you get into a cab And

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.159
the cab driver says, where do you want to go?

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.539
I'm like, well, I don't want to go over there

00:09:34.539 --> 00:09:37.179
because I stink at that. I don't want to go over

00:09:37.179 --> 00:09:39.120
there because that's not fun. I don't want to

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:40.539
go over there because that person hurt me or

00:09:40.539 --> 00:09:43.080
whatever your reason, or that's really hard.

00:09:43.340 --> 00:09:44.919
I don't want to go over there. Well, the cab

00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.000
driver's like, well, that's fine, but where do

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.340
you want to go? I can't drive the cab until you

00:09:49.340 --> 00:09:52.379
say where I want to go. And so it's asking yourself,

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:54.620
what do you want instead or what do you want?

00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.190
And then the other question is, what? difference

00:09:57.190 --> 00:09:58.950
will it make for yourself and you just keep asking

00:09:58.950 --> 00:10:00.929
yourself that what difference will it make and

00:10:00.929 --> 00:10:02.649
when you understand what difference that will

00:10:02.649 --> 00:10:05.009
make that really gives it deep intrinsic into

00:10:05.009 --> 00:10:07.769
you so when then that when it's not fun it's

00:10:07.769 --> 00:10:09.669
not it's hard to get up in the morning like i

00:10:09.669 --> 00:10:11.889
said or any whatever your mountain that you're

00:10:11.889 --> 00:10:13.470
trying to climb whatever that there's going to

00:10:13.470 --> 00:10:17.409
be that everyday thing you have to do and the

00:10:17.409 --> 00:10:20.809
the question you have to remind yourself is oh

00:10:20.809 --> 00:10:23.000
what difference is this going to make for me

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.559
and you know ultimately gets back when you ask

00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:26.940
that question enough it gets back to you know

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:30.440
i'll have uh love and kindness and joy and you

00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.240
know ultimately you get to all those those bigger

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.240
things but even things that are more closer more

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.480
tangible to you maybe i'll have you know more

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.539
money or i'll have better health or but again

00:10:38.539 --> 00:10:40.299
what difference will more money make for you

00:10:40.299 --> 00:10:42.299
i'll have more time and freedom you know those

00:10:42.299 --> 00:10:44.059
type of things but you have to continue to ask

00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:46.940
yourself what difference will that make for me

00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:48.279
and what do i want instead you have to tell the

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.259
cab driver where to go Yeah. And that is such

00:10:51.259 --> 00:10:53.559
a great analogy. I'm definitely going to borrow

00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.620
that and use it. So it's such a great analogy.

00:10:57.659 --> 00:11:00.500
Yeah. Because we are practiced at saying what

00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:03.679
we don't want. Yeah. And our brain doesn't hear

00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:08.299
the word don't or doesn't. It just says, okay,

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.679
I don't want cake. I don't want cake. We know

00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.860
what cake feels like and tastes like and what

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:16.960
it looks like and smells like. All of our senses

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.860
are very attuned to what cake is. So when we

00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:21.860
say, I don't want cake, all our brain is hearing

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:24.190
is. cake cake cake cake cake over and over because

00:11:24.190 --> 00:11:26.750
it knows what that is so you have to direct you

00:11:26.750 --> 00:11:28.210
as you're talking about direct the attention

00:11:28.210 --> 00:11:31.049
of your of your of your thoughts and your actions

00:11:31.049 --> 00:11:32.929
you have to direct it on something you do want

00:11:32.929 --> 00:11:36.590
and be as as detailed and clear as it as you

00:11:36.590 --> 00:11:38.330
possibly can because the brain doesn't know the

00:11:38.330 --> 00:11:40.490
difference between the past present or the future

00:11:40.490 --> 00:11:44.080
so when you describe that um place you want to

00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:46.759
go in as much detail as possible your brain has

00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.759
already been there and a lot of times when we're

00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:50.860
trying to get to a goal and the conventional

00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:54.639
wisdom says okay i want to go i want i have a

00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.019
goal i want to go to okay so how do i get there

00:11:57.019 --> 00:12:00.340
but then there's time money um people anything

00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:02.240
that's blocking you from getting there so you're

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.600
like i can't do it because of all these things

00:12:05.230 --> 00:12:07.710
But when you describe that future, that cake

00:12:07.710 --> 00:12:11.870
in so much detail, the brain is so creative that

00:12:11.870 --> 00:12:13.610
it says, all right, I've already been there.

00:12:13.710 --> 00:12:15.610
So it's going to figure out, okay, all the different

00:12:15.610 --> 00:12:18.789
ways I can get to that cake because it's already

00:12:18.789 --> 00:12:21.529
been there. And those roadblocks are no longer

00:12:21.529 --> 00:12:23.169
there because you've jumped over that. And now

00:12:23.169 --> 00:12:25.490
you're asking yourself, what's something, even

00:12:25.490 --> 00:12:27.889
the smallest thing I can do in the next 24 hours

00:12:27.889 --> 00:12:30.370
that would tell me that I'm moving in that direction,

00:12:30.549 --> 00:12:32.950
even the smallest thing. And that just builds

00:12:32.950 --> 00:12:36.860
on that momentum. Oh, man. Yes, I'm loving everything

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:39.519
you're saying. Yes, we are well aligned in this

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:44.019
thinking. And I absolutely agree. Yes, visualize

00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:49.720
the outcome. We have an infinite mind. Infinite.

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.080
And again, the brain, once it sees the outcome,

00:12:56.299 --> 00:13:01.379
it gets highly creative. But it is a practice

00:13:01.379 --> 00:13:06.669
of directing your thinking. We have a negativity

00:13:06.669 --> 00:13:09.169
bias. We're going to continually go to what's

00:13:09.169 --> 00:13:12.950
negative or what's going to prevent us from getting

00:13:12.950 --> 00:13:17.789
there. We have to practice these questions that

00:13:17.789 --> 00:13:19.210
we're going to ask ourselves. It's really asking

00:13:19.210 --> 00:13:21.289
ourselves questions because the brain just brains.

00:13:21.370 --> 00:13:24.330
It has self -talk going constantly. It's going

00:13:24.330 --> 00:13:26.629
to be negative because part of it – so you can't

00:13:26.629 --> 00:13:29.649
try to – So it's a whack -a -mole situation to

00:13:29.649 --> 00:13:32.389
try to fix that self -talk. It's just practicing,

00:13:32.730 --> 00:13:35.669
like you said, driving that attention towards

00:13:35.669 --> 00:13:38.169
the questions that you want to ask. Where do

00:13:38.169 --> 00:13:40.269
I want to go? What difference will it make? When

00:13:40.269 --> 00:13:42.809
I get there, what would it look like in all the

00:13:42.809 --> 00:13:47.610
different shapes and forms? Yeah, and I'm absolutely

00:13:47.610 --> 00:13:50.789
a huge fan of that question. What difference

00:13:50.789 --> 00:13:54.039
will this make for me? Man, focus on that. Focus

00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.500
on the answers of that. What difference will

00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:59.220
this make for my health? What difference is this

00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:01.399
going to make for my sex drive? What difference

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.000
is this going to make for my communication with

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.000
my family or my team? What difference will this

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.720
make in my bank account? I mean, on and on and

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.240
on and on. It's such a powerful question. What

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.360
difference will this make if I take this action,

00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:20.860
if I make this decision? So good. Hey, Glenn.

00:14:22.490 --> 00:14:26.129
This show is called Vision Prose, and so my next

00:14:26.129 --> 00:14:29.049
question for you is, what's your vision? What's

00:14:29.049 --> 00:14:32.549
that clarified story that you've been working

00:14:32.549 --> 00:14:37.009
on up here that you are efforting now to unfold

00:14:37.009 --> 00:14:41.009
in the physical realm? Thank you. The vision

00:14:41.009 --> 00:14:43.470
is everything. And as we talk about what does

00:14:43.470 --> 00:14:45.090
that look like and what difference will that

00:14:45.090 --> 00:14:47.049
make, that's the question that you're asking.

00:14:47.129 --> 00:14:49.350
So that's the same way I asked for the company

00:14:49.350 --> 00:14:51.429
that we're building at Stamina Lab. And it's

00:14:51.429 --> 00:14:53.509
to help people improve their health and well

00:14:53.509 --> 00:14:56.289
-being so they can live a long health span so

00:14:56.289 --> 00:14:58.169
they can do more of the things they want to do

00:14:58.169 --> 00:15:00.750
with the people that they care about in their

00:15:00.750 --> 00:15:04.490
lives. And I think that last little part is so

00:15:04.490 --> 00:15:07.990
important is, again, it's why are you doing this?

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:11.460
You can live a long health span, not a lifespan,

00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:15.320
a health span where you have the physical ability

00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.159
to be able to do the things you want to do. And

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.799
we believe that by changing your behavior, helping

00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.820
you through that, learning this process, the

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:28.259
solution focused approach to asking these kind

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:31.659
of questions that you can you have the capacity

00:15:31.659 --> 00:15:35.580
to. to go to that direction that you already

00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:37.419
want, that you already are on. By listening to

00:15:37.419 --> 00:15:39.899
this podcast, you're already on that, on that

00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:41.720
path. You are already heading in that place that

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:44.600
becoming the person that you want to be. And

00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.679
with our solution focus approach, that's really,

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.299
it's such a powerful, it's evidence -based. It's

00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:52.600
been, you know, 20 some meta studies over the

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:54.580
last 30 years have proven that, you know, this

00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:57.139
really works, this approach really works to help

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:59.960
people improve their. to improve their lives

00:15:59.960 --> 00:16:01.879
in any way, shape, or form. We're applying it,

00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:03.500
like I said, to a health -first approach like

00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:07.100
I have for my life because I believe health is

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:09.799
wealth. And when you have that health span and

00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:12.200
you are able to do anything you want, then the

00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.639
world's your oyster. So that's where the vision

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.159
is to help as many people as possible to learn

00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.840
this approach. Yeah, I sure like that. Health

00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.620
is wealth. We frequently don't understand that

00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:31.059
until... we are experiencing some sort of dis

00:16:31.059 --> 00:16:35.039
-ease or discomfort physically, right? And then

00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.399
all of a sudden we're like, whoa, I really want

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:42.220
to be healthy again. I want my health back. And

00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:45.700
you, and we are, you know, if we are health rich,

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:49.539
generally, I mean, what I mean by that is you've

00:16:49.539 --> 00:16:52.399
got a, if you've got a body and you've got all

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:59.000
your limbs, right? Like you are so wealthy. And

00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.480
people say, well, what do you mean by that? What

00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.419
I mean by that is, I remember one of my mentors

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:09.740
said, if I gave you $100 ,000, would you cut

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:13.500
off your arm and give it to me? I'm like, no,

00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:16.119
of course not. Okay, well, how about a million

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:21.119
dollars? A million dollars and you have your

00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.900
arm removed. No, not even. Five million? No.

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:30.750
Ten million? no you can see we our bodies are

00:17:30.750 --> 00:17:36.430
are priceless right we're not i mean just consider

00:17:36.430 --> 00:17:38.690
that i mean because we take it for granted all

00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:41.849
the time um i want to i want to share just something

00:17:41.849 --> 00:17:45.349
briefly because i'm in my 50s and uh two years

00:17:45.349 --> 00:17:48.230
ago i decided i realized what you're talking

00:17:48.230 --> 00:17:52.180
about health is wealth like I mean, in the most

00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:57.180
sincere fashion, health is wealth. But I realized

00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:59.839
like, oh, in my 50s, I'm starting to lose muscle

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:02.880
mass. That's weird. That hasn't happened before.

00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.319
And so I made a commitment to become the strongest

00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:09.980
that I've ever been in my life. And so I joined

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:11.980
the gym for the first time in my life. Never

00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:14.680
joined a gym, never did weightlifting. And what

00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.680
I can tell you is that it was an incredible opportunity

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.559
for me to practice discipline. Right. The practice

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:26.380
of directing my thinking, but also experiencing

00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:32.220
that that wealth of health, like to to feel strong

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:36.460
in my body. That's it absolutely feels so good.

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:38.940
And guess what? It feels good every single day.

00:18:39.059 --> 00:18:43.880
Yeah. So so I did it for one year and I and I

00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:45.579
actually became stronger than I've ever been.

00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:48.099
Not the fittest because I used to do triathlons,

00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.460
but the strongest I've ever been. And then I

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:54.359
was like, this is a fun game to play. I'm going

00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.579
to go for year two. So, you know, two years into

00:18:57.579 --> 00:19:01.240
it now, I'm like, every day I feel really, I

00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:05.299
feel the wealth of that health. And so I love

00:19:05.299 --> 00:19:08.240
that you are, what you're offering to people.

00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:12.759
And I want people to really pause and consider

00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.039
what you're talking about. And if you are in

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.539
that age bracket where you're like, boy, I don't

00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:20.259
know. I mean, I don't know how to get my health

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:23.539
back or how to create health or where to start.

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:28.640
This is what Glenn does. He's here to help you

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:31.180
figure out where to start. They've got proven

00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:34.859
results. They've got a plan. And Glenn, I'm assuming

00:19:34.859 --> 00:19:38.079
that you've got some sort of discovery call or

00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:40.240
people can reach out and ask questions. Tell

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.599
me a little bit about that and where they can

00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:46.440
get in touch with you. Yeah, so visit staminalab

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:51.400
.io, and there you can see some of the details

00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.160
on our approach, which is really interesting.

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:58.150
I find it so fascinating, this approach. You

00:19:58.150 --> 00:20:00.150
can also just book a discovery call through there.

00:20:00.230 --> 00:20:03.069
There's a button for that as well. We have a

00:20:03.069 --> 00:20:04.670
bunch of resources on this site that you can

00:20:04.670 --> 00:20:06.650
download and check out, or you can take some

00:20:06.650 --> 00:20:09.609
assessments. Your self -talk style is one of

00:20:09.609 --> 00:20:11.730
those that's on there, or your stress perceptions

00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:13.849
on there. There's a few little assessments you

00:20:13.849 --> 00:20:16.410
can take. Basically, they walk you through and

00:20:16.410 --> 00:20:18.150
then give you some solution -focused questions.

00:20:18.589 --> 00:20:19.990
Again, it's about the questions that you're asking

00:20:19.990 --> 00:20:21.410
yourself, some questions that you can start to

00:20:21.410 --> 00:20:23.930
ask yourself. One thing you said before was about

00:20:23.930 --> 00:20:28.670
guilt and shame. This approach is so powerful

00:20:28.670 --> 00:20:31.730
because it takes away the guilt and shame of

00:20:31.730 --> 00:20:35.309
change. When you ask yourself, someone comes

00:20:35.309 --> 00:20:38.410
to us and says, damn, I had a half a pint of

00:20:38.410 --> 00:20:42.410
ice cream last night. It's horrible. I just can't

00:20:42.410 --> 00:20:45.329
do this right. Whatever the negative thoughts

00:20:45.329 --> 00:20:47.569
that come into play. Traditionally, you would

00:20:47.569 --> 00:20:50.430
say, okay, well, why did you have that half a

00:20:50.430 --> 00:20:52.269
pint of ice cream? What triggered it? Let's find

00:20:52.269 --> 00:20:55.250
a reason why it happened, and the next time it

00:20:55.250 --> 00:20:56.690
happened, you can replace that. That's almost

00:20:56.690 --> 00:20:59.950
a whack -a -mole game again because every time

00:20:59.950 --> 00:21:01.349
something triggers you, you're trying to find

00:21:01.349 --> 00:21:03.289
a replacement for it. So when someone comes to

00:21:03.289 --> 00:21:06.490
us and says, so you had a half a pint of ice

00:21:06.490 --> 00:21:08.930
cream, instead of asking you why, you have to

00:21:08.930 --> 00:21:11.029
relive the trauma of whatever the reason was

00:21:11.029 --> 00:21:14.210
that you had that, we would say to them, well,

00:21:14.250 --> 00:21:16.089
what kept you from eating the whole pint of ice

00:21:16.089 --> 00:21:17.869
cream? And they're like, well, I didn't eat the

00:21:17.869 --> 00:21:19.930
whole pint of ice cream because of the strength,

00:21:20.049 --> 00:21:21.890
skills, and resources that you already have.

00:21:22.049 --> 00:21:23.410
And this is where it takes away the guilt and

00:21:23.410 --> 00:21:24.950
shame because there's no guilt and shame for

00:21:24.950 --> 00:21:26.910
having that half a pint of ice cream because

00:21:26.910 --> 00:21:29.450
you didn't have the full pint. And you can replace

00:21:29.450 --> 00:21:31.390
that half a pint of ice cream for whatever. But

00:21:31.390 --> 00:21:34.410
the idea is that we highlight what you did do.

00:21:34.730 --> 00:21:36.569
And then you're like, wait, actually, no, I did

00:21:36.569 --> 00:21:38.529
do some stuff there. So the next time that that

00:21:38.529 --> 00:21:40.650
happens, whatever the problem is happens, you

00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:43.109
remembered, hey, wait. I do have the resources

00:21:43.109 --> 00:21:45.789
inside myself to be able to take this on. And

00:21:45.789 --> 00:21:47.329
that takes away the guilt and shame. And so if

00:21:47.329 --> 00:21:50.289
we do a discovery call with you, even just a

00:21:50.289 --> 00:21:53.549
few minutes, we can start to ask some questions

00:21:53.549 --> 00:21:56.150
that can even just shift your life in a positive

00:21:56.150 --> 00:22:01.730
way. That example you gave is so powerful. I

00:22:01.730 --> 00:22:05.430
love that. you know i haven't heard it in this

00:22:05.430 --> 00:22:09.269
in the context of health before and i really

00:22:09.269 --> 00:22:13.529
appreciate it i love this idea and i'm and you

00:22:13.529 --> 00:22:16.069
you know you're talking to somebody who loves

00:22:16.069 --> 00:22:21.390
haagen -dazs ice cream and and and no joke this

00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:27.349
is literally one of the topics and sub or the

00:22:27.349 --> 00:22:30.589
the temptations that i deal with like on a daily

00:22:30.589 --> 00:22:34.920
basis right okay I've got several pints of Haagen

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:39.599
-Dazs in my freezer and I could eat an entire

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:45.640
pint easily. And again, I'm a healthy fit person,

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:50.740
right? And still I have this weird chatter in

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:53.519
my head about how much Haagen -Dazs ice cream

00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.200
did you eat? So I'm going to implement this.

00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:00.740
Instead of being like, oh my God, I had too much.

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:04.740
I'm going to be like. Oh, I didn't eat the whole

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:09.380
pint. And ask yourself why. And so the next time

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:11.839
you go into that pint of ice cream, if you ask

00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.420
that – it's, again, practicing asking that question.

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:16.599
You'll remember that the next time, and maybe

00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:18.160
you'll only have a quarter of a pint. Maybe you

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:20.480
won't even pull it out. You're like, oh, I remember.

00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:22.400
Or maybe you will have more of it, whatever.

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:25.259
But, again, it's asking yourself what kept you

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:28.420
from going for more and then highlighting these

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:30.839
are the things that I have inside me, this capacity.

00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.740
uh, for that, to being that healthy person you,

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:37.900
you, you are, and you are, and you, even if you

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:40.039
had, even if you had that, uh, have a pint of

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.940
ice cream, you are still being a healthy person.

00:23:42.619 --> 00:23:45.140
Yes. And I, yeah. So thanks for highlighting

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:48.680
that. You know, it's what we say to ourselves

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.420
matters. It's, it's so important. Um, and so

00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:57.740
I love this approach. I'm a fan, and I want to

00:23:57.740 --> 00:24:00.819
encourage our listeners, hook up with Glenn.

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:03.750
Go to his website. check it out take some of

00:24:03.750 --> 00:24:08.390
those assessments and really begin to um to take

00:24:08.390 --> 00:24:11.630
this approach of of asking these helpful questions

00:24:11.630 --> 00:24:14.730
why um get curious what we're talking about is

00:24:14.730 --> 00:24:17.869
getting curious at a deep level right yeah and

00:24:17.869 --> 00:24:20.670
when we get curious you're gonna see things that

00:24:20.670 --> 00:24:23.930
you didn't see before and they will become helpful

00:24:23.930 --> 00:24:27.109
tools to aid you towards producing the outcomes

00:24:27.109 --> 00:24:31.509
that you truly desire um Glenn, thanks for being

share with us before we wrap up? Yeah, I just

00:24:36.690 --> 00:24:40.569
say be kind to yourself. We're all on a path,

00:24:40.829 --> 00:24:44.269
and you're already becoming that person you want

00:24:44.269 --> 00:24:45.529
to be. Like I said, you're listening to this

00:24:45.529 --> 00:24:49.289
podcast, so you're already on that path. Yeah,

00:24:49.349 --> 00:24:54.670
