All right, welcome in to Vision Pros Live. With
Jackson Callum, I'm your show host. We'll be
doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs
and guest leaders who are building fantastic
visions out there. What's up, everybody? Welcome
in to another episode of Vision Pros Live. As
you know, I'm not in my main studio. I am in
Ecuador right now, Tulcán, Ecuador, helping out
here in South America and getting to know some
of my team members better and loved ones. And
so if you get the chance to travel to Central
or South America, elsewhere, and do some good,
my request, bring a few pair of reading glasses
for the elderly. Bring some candy to hand out
to kiddos. Go buy a big old stack of water bottles
at the local Walmart or wherever they call it
locally there and take them out to soccer field
and hand them out to people. There's so many
ways you can bless people's lives and do great
things in ways that we may see as insignificant,
but that are essential and important to others.
So I've got Dr. Lance Knob on the show today
and his introduction says a lot about. who he
is and what he does and now that i've heard him
and you've heard him speak as well some of the
things i caught about his tone is one his humility
i'm super grateful for that strength especially
when great leaders who have the prestige of being
a doctor for instance yet still maintain that
aspect of life humility and i also heard so much
authenticity in how he introduced his vision
he didn't feel like he had to create the right
answer. He didn't laser in on one tiny thing
and just focus on that, which you can do. Vision
is literally like, what are you looking at? That
can also have to do with your vision if you're
in the present. So I hope that you go back and
listen to that, thinking through those of you
who are new to visions. Man, I feel awkward.
I don't know what to say. I don't know. That's
okay. That's part of the process of exploring
what all exists. So I thought that was one of
my favorite introductions I've ever heard. just
because of how authentic it was so in terms of
submission uh for our for being on our show application
dr nab said he has a focus on helping entrepreneurs
scale their businesses lance specializes in building
self -managing companies that allow business
owners to avoid burnout while creating a life
that they truly love His approach empowers leaders
to develop strong leadership teams and transform
their businesses into valuable sought -after
assets. You've got all the accolades online.
You can look his name up and find that as well.
We're going to dive into one more question with
him directly before we make the cut for today
because we've both got things that are coming
up and important. But I'd love for you to leave
in the comments any questions that you might
have for either one of us about how you can scale
your visions and dive deeper into our rabbit
holes if you'd like to and learn how to expand
your vision. So Dr. Nob, thank you so much for
being on Vision Pros Live, man. Oh man, thank
you so much for having me and for everyone listening,
please, you know, like, follow, share. I mean,
Jackson, what he's done and doing is pretty remarkable
and especially paying it all forward, you know,
being down, you know, in Ecuador right now and
just being so generous with his time and expertise.
Wow, man. Well, I appreciate that. And Lance,
I'll call you Lance. I'm pretty sure you want
the audience to know you by your first name and
that's fantastic. Lance, if we were to focus
in today on the entrepreneurial side, the business
side, you mentioned team and you mentioned scaling.
You also didn't mention things like hustle and
grind or fake it till you make it, you know,
or just ride the AI wave until whatever happens,
who knows what. You talked about the importance
of balance and you talked about the importance
of family earlier. If you only could give one
piece of advice and it was the last piece of
general advice you could give to the audience
for their businesses, what would it be? Jackson,
this is a great question. And the one message
that I usually boil things down to is pretty
consistent. And it's not to take action, which
you may hear and to take massive action, which
is good advice from a lot of thought leaders,
a lot of experts, a lot of successful entrepreneurs.
But what I would add to that. is to take strategic
action. And that ties right into everything we're
talking about here today with vision. Breaking
away for 10 % of your year, a month, a week,
and a day to do some higher level work. And some
of that's probably like self -care, but also
just really making sure you're in alignment then
with your grand vision. Because if you're on
the top of a mountain and you just run down to
fight, you're probably going to lose. You might
even be running the wrong direction. You might
run into the heart of the enemy. But if you take
five minutes and just create a plan and have
some strategy, you're running the right direction
and you're going to escape or recruit help, whatever
it is. It doesn't take much. I really think it's
only like 10 % time. So that would be the advice
that I would give. So many entrepreneurs do the
opposite. And they just sort of rush to action.
And unfortunately, it usually doesn't go well.
I love that advice. It's not the advice it would
have given. In visionaries, that's the importance
of these open -ended questions. There's not one
answer that is right. And the color commenting
process, that's the easier part. He gave the
great stuff. I get to color commentate a little
bit. but i will also i will double down you talked
about running the wrong direction yeah i imagined
that movie rat race um old movie um you know
with uh oh what's his bucket with mr bean in
it okay they uh you know they get told run this
race and you win the millions of dollars with
the pressures of ai in the world right now and
just the pressures of the world in general fear
of missing out right being the one who doesn't
make it uh right only a few people get the offer
type thing we have such adrenaline cortisone
and addictions piled into this process of grind
hustle make it happen that we do we tend to just
run i imagine you know two people were told you
know the first one to get to next city All right.
It's going to win $5 million. And can you imagine
somebody just trying to run to the next city?
And the other person takes five minutes to find
a friend who will drive them. All right. And
that five minutes or 10 minutes, 10%, whatever
that is. Right. Entrepreneurship, it's not as
simple as getting to the next city. Yet, I hope
all of you as visionaries realize, too, that
you don't have to worry about missing out in
most cases. There is an abundance. there's not
like a limited time offer that restricts you
from being able to take your time and do things
the right way yet the rest of your life i find
suffers when we have that mentality of scarcity
that says like i have to run i just have to get
it i have to have to go i have to make it happen
i i have to and i have to make my hair perfect
um at the same time i have to make sure my background's
perfect and everything has to be perfect while
i run full speed and so thank you thank you for
saying that because it is something that no matter
how dedicated we are to balance it's easy to
lose sight of being strategic about the actions
we take and the only thing i would add to that
from my my answer so you guys get a double dose
today is remember to love yeah i love that um
you know and so if i if i'm strategic in action
and i'm action oriented but i lead with powers
of manipulation coercion frustration fear etc
i'm leading with the powers of hate I'm not leading
with the powers of love. And that will also have
a negative effect. So if we combine all those
things, the action -oriented path, the strategy,
and being loving, I mean, that's just the type
of life that I would want to have. So thank you
for what you gave there, Dr. Lance. Audience,
those of you listening in, again, you can find
Dr. Lance Knob by Googling him. We'll add some
links as well so you can catch up. And if you're
okay with it, Lance, would you want to come back
to Vision Pros? I would love to. dude i gotta
i gotta dive indeed we've got so many things
that we can talk about and yeah visionaries again
if you are scaling it is so important to get
advice uh regarding business and chat gbt grok
etc use those tools to help you get yourself
get a base as well yet i would i hope that you
also have great mentors that you trust by your
side to help decipher what's right for you on
your path of where you at and uh lance i'll be
i'll be bothering you in the future for my own
business ventures as well and vice versa my friend
