1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600
I mean that all the way back to elementary school.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,500
I mean, so I've always been a kid that asks questions

3
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:08,560
like why does this happen or why do you do that?

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,580
Or how can I figure this out?

5
00:00:10,580 --> 00:00:11,640
Sometimes it was about me,

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,860
but sometimes it was about the other person.

7
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:16,740
I've been extremely empathetic most of my life too.

8
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:17,900
So when I would see some.

9
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:24,880
All right, welcome in to Vision Pros Live.

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,280
But Jackson Callum, I'm your show host.

11
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,320
We will be doing interviews for visionary entrepreneurs

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,360
and guests, guest leaders who are building

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,720
fantastic visions out there.

14
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,960
Ultimately, I just wanna go through some of the things

15
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,840
that might help you with your vision.

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,880
If you have a vision that you're pursuing,

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,120
drop a link in the comments and let us know what that is.

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,480
If that's a business or a brand,

19
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:50,160
if it's a nonprofit that you run,

20
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,680
be happy to promote it, be happy to talk to you about it.

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,560
And if you'd like to apply to be on Vision Pros

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,080
and be interviewed about that vision,

23
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,160
by all means, feel free to reach out.

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,400
Hey, hey, hey, what's up everybody?

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,680
Happy Wednesday.

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,320
I'm your show host Jackson Callum, founder of Passion Pro,

27
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,360
CEO of First Class Business, CEO of Podbooker,

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,080
co-founder of Able Health.

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:28,960
Welcome in.

30
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,440
I wanna mention today our sponsors Epiphany

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,280
and Able Health as well as in addition to the cause

32
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,880
that we support the Water Project.

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,200
I recommend checking out all three of those.

34
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Yesterday we had in our show, Lucy Deloach.

35
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,880
She's absolutely awesome.

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:42,800
She empowers women.

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,880
And we also had a secret show that's not posted yet

38
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,480
with Sean Malone, the founder of Flow Chat.

39
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,240
I highly recommend checking out both those

40
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,320
as well, there's a lot of value.

41
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,400
We're gonna be bringing Sean back on later again.

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,160
One of the things that we did in that show

43
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,560
is we surprised Sean that we're actually going to be

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,320
investing in Flow Chat as well and using that tool.

45
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,600
So we're working on the package right now,

46
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,280
which package we're gonna go with.

47
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,480
We're planning out how we're going to implement it.

48
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,600
I mentioned that for all you entrepreneurs out there

49
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,080
who are constantly looking at what shiny objects

50
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,120
exist in the market.

51
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,000
What tools should I be using?

52
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,640
Which ones are gonna be most effective for me?

53
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:20,040
And as a young entrepreneur, I used to just kind of like

54
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,480
go into things like that and try to do it all myself

55
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,520
and figure it out.

56
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,360
There should be a method to the madness, right?

57
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,640
Rather than just buying a tool and hoping and praying

58
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:30,800
that that works, making sure you research it.

59
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,640
So I've got several team members who are looking at,

60
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,600
okay, how are we gonna dynamically utilize this tool

61
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,440
as we implement it?

62
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,400
Well, I'm gonna skip past that.

63
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,960
So if you have interests, I would definitely look

64
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,760
at Flow Chat and start studying out and seeing,

65
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,960
okay, what are their case studies look like?

66
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:44,800
What do they do?

67
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,880
How does it overlap with what we're doing

68
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,040
over at First Class Business?

69
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,200
We have a lot of different tools that we utilize

70
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,720
like that, for instance, when you're seeing me on now,

71
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,520
this is called StreamYard, StreamYard.com.

72
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,480
That's how we stream this to Facebook, LinkedIn,

73
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,040
and YouTube, and also host our guests on this show.

74
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Now today's show is going to be about Passion Pro

75
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,160
and passionpro.org specifically.

76
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Feel free to go check it out.

77
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,560
Super happy that my team got this launched

78
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,400
at the beginning of this year.

79
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,280
It was like a gift from them to me.

80
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,520
It's something that I've tried to launch for more,

81
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,680
it's probably between six to eight years.

82
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,480
I've had this vision of creating this course.

83
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,600
Originally, the Passion Pro Challenge

84
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,760
was going to be an email series.

85
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,680
And before that, it was just an assessment

86
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,080
that I would give to people that I knew one day

87
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840
I would tie into a more long-term challenge.

88
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,240
And if you go to passionpro.org and you opt in,

89
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,760
it's absolutely free and it's always going to be free

90
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,920
in its online format.

91
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,360
It's super important to me.

92
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,800
I want that to reach as many people in the world

93
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,720
as possible.

94
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,720
We'll talk more about that later too.

95
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,600
So Passion Pro and diving into that.

96
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,160
Let's go ahead and pull up the first question here,

97
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,200
rather the first statement.

98
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,360
So Passion Pros in one sentence.

99
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,880
As you can see on my screen,

100
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,440
it's all about discovering your passions

101
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,200
and finding a life of purpose and fulfillment, okay?

102
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Now this does not mean a sunshine and roses life.

103
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:10,960
That's not what this is about.

104
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,280
I want to be clear about what it is and what it's not.

105
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,880
Some people think that living a life of purpose,

106
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,840
a life of fulfillment or life of passion

107
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:20,800
is all about being happy at all times.

108
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,640
I can tell you right now,

109
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,800
if you're seeking your own happiness,

110
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,480
you're probably gonna end up with a life of bitterness

111
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,640
and regret eventually.

112
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,480
That's not what it's about.

113
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,080
It's also not about a life of pure fun and nothing else.

114
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,280
If you want that again, there's lots of places

115
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:38,320
you can go to start down that road of vices,

116
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,560
but that's not again what Passion Pro is about.

117
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Passion Pro is about discovering your purpose,

118
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,640
discovering what you want to live for.

119
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,200
Now, I'm hoping that some other people

120
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,280
will come into this later, not hear that part

121
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:50,120
and say, you know what,

122
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,920
I'll just give this Passion's assessment a try

123
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,920
and hear about it because one cannot be compelled

124
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,400
to discover their passions or their purpose.

125
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,840
They've got to feel it within themselves.

126
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:04,560
They've got to want to find it.

127
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240
They've got to feel inspired to find it,

128
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,680
but they can't be pushed to do it.

129
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,760
It's just something that comes from within, in my opinion.

130
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,120
So one of the things that you might be asking is,

131
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,040
well, how does Passion Pro add value to entrepreneurship?

132
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,680
Well, when we onboard our clients,

133
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,760
we do a series of research and development with them

134
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,360
that I've never seen any of their marketing

135
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,640
or consulting agency do.

136
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,280
First, we start with the strategy of the marketing

137
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:32,320
because that's usually what they want to see.

138
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,320
And we try to get that done as fast as possible.

139
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,960
We try to inspire entrepreneurs to finish that series

140
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,360
of assessments for marketing within one to two hours,

141
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,320
if possible.

142
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,160
Sometimes it's a little bit too hard for them

143
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,960
to do it that fast and where they're walking them through it.

144
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Second thing we do is what's called

145
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,360
a business preliminary evaluation.

146
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,640
And in that evaluation, we're actually looking at their life.

147
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,520
We're looking at the life of their team members.

148
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,520
If they have team members,

149
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,680
we're looking at their scripts, their procedures.

150
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,000
There's a whole lot of information

151
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,720
that we're going into on that specific form.

152
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,840
And we try to get them to, again,

153
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:04,240
finish that within one hour of work.

154
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,240
Then from there, they get a couple

155
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,240
of communication systems set up.

156
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,760
And after that, they go into what's called

157
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,440
a taste of passion pro.

158
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,280
And we're planting the seed and getting them into

159
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,760
the assessment, are you ready to pursue your passions?

160
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,240
So why do we do this?

161
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,320
We do this because as we serve our business owners,

162
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,120
we want to make sure that we're building the right vision,

163
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,480
the right clarity, the right purpose for both their business

164
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,920
and their lifestyle.

165
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,360
And if you steamroll past that and you make assumptions

166
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,080
that people are on the same page with you, guess what?

167
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,560
They're never on the same page with you.

168
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,000
What is important to you is not always important to me.

169
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,320
What is important to me is not always important to you

170
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,640
or to my audience.

171
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,040
So we do those assessments to make sure that, okay,

172
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,680
this visionary that we're building with,

173
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,640
we want to know them really well.

174
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,520
And what's really cool is most people

175
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,000
who take the passions assessment end up discovering

176
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,640
things about themselves that they've never known before.

177
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,240
And we'll be talking about a testimony

178
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,080
a little bit later on about it.

179
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,920
But I've had a couple of clients go through it this week

180
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,280
that have come back and said, Jackson,

181
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:12,920
I knew who I wanted to serve,

182
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,840
but now I know who I want to serve.

183
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,560
And it's really interesting to go from realizing like,

184
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,760
okay, I had a lot of clarity in my vision.

185
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,680
I took this simple assessment

186
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,760
that not some Stanford grad created,

187
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,160
not some Harvard University professor,

188
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,520
I created it with my experience through my time in Uruguay,

189
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,800
my time growing up, talking to different types of people

190
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,960
and just my intuition of thousands of conversations,

191
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,280
deep level conversations with people.

192
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,160
So let me take these off real quick

193
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,040
so we don't have the glare as much anymore.

194
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,200
So let's go past this entrepreneurship topic

195
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,960
and talk about the vision for Passion Pro

196
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,000
because it goes beyond the entrepreneur too.

197
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,120
In fact, it's so important that if you're an entrepreneur

198
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,600
and you go through this process,

199
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,720
that you do your best to invite with inspiration

200
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,920
your loved ones to take this as well.

201
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,800
Why? Because it's very hard for loved ones

202
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,120
to support an entrepreneur

203
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,880
because entrepreneurs are kind of crazy.

204
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,120
Like we have ideas that don't make a lot of sense

205
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,080
to other people.

206
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,400
And so when they don't understand that,

207
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,000
when they don't understand you and your motives

208
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,400
and why you're doing things,

209
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000
it can be very hard to support what you do.

210
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,280
However, if you give your loved ones the opportunity

211
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,280
to take their own passions assessment,

212
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,920
figure out what their passions are,

213
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,080
and you can agree to support them on what their passions are,

214
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,280
it can create a sense of harmony and purpose

215
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,880
where you both at least understand

216
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,840
what you both want out of life.

217
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,520
It's a completely new shift.

218
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,640
It's a new dynamic of how to live by the way

219
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,120
once you do start looking at passions,

220
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,920
your purpose, your priorities change

221
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,560
once you're living a life of passion.

222
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:52,640
And again, that can be uprooting.

223
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,520
It can be a little bit scary.

224
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,400
So what is the vision?

225
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,280
When I created Passion Pro,

226
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,160
the vision was to help teenagers figure out

227
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,520
what their passions were.

228
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,440
And most people that I know condescend to their teenagers.

229
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,720
They don't like the choices their teenagers are making.

230
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,320
And I don't think that's very fair.

231
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,320
I don't think it helps teenagers figure out

232
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,040
how to get out of whatever it is that mom or dad

233
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,920
or their friends, family, teachers

234
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,520
are not disgusted with,

235
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,120
but kind of like not inspired by

236
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,840
and make fun of or condescend to the teenager.

237
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,200
I do something that's healthy.

238
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,480
And so when a teenager tells me,

239
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,680
I say, hey, what are you passionate about?

240
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,360
A lot of teenage boys, for instance,

241
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,120
will say something like pizza and video games.

242
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,120
That's what I love about life.

243
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,240
And most people would roll their eyes

244
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,000
or laugh at them, make them feel bad.

245
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,680
Well, they need a safe space to be able to,

246
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:50,480
because they're actually telling you the truth

247
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,640
when they say that.

248
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:52,880
They just haven't had a chance

249
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,720
to think through this before, perhaps.

250
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,760
And so it's very important as adults

251
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,040
that we learn to meet people where they're at.

252
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,080
We respect where they're at.

253
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,560
So again, I started doing these questions with people,

254
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:08,560
things like, okay, let's pretend you had $100 million.

255
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,240
If you had $100 million, what would you do with it?

256
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,080
What would you do?

257
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,080
What would you go and do?

258
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,920
Right?

259
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,560
And so this process has all built into this assessment,

260
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:18,720
by the way, I'm gonna cheat sheet

261
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,360
and give you some examples behind the scenes

262
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,160
of Passion Fruit and How It Works.

263
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,600
So they tell, you know, they travel the world,

264
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,400
party, I would do this or that, whatever,

265
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,680
however safe they are, is however well

266
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:30,960
they'll answer that question, right?

267
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,320
So now we go to the next question.

268
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,000
So there's one to two years.

269
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,520
You know, you've been doing this now,

270
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,280
you're kind of bored with those activities

271
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,520
and what you've done,

272
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,820
but you still have $90 million left over.

273
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Now what?

274
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,200
Now what are you gonna do with your time?

275
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Right?

276
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,040
And they might think of a few more things.

277
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,920
You know, okay, you've done all that.

278
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,080
You've bought all those things.

279
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,280
You put money away and savings and all that.

280
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,200
You get some smart answers from these kids.

281
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,200
I mean, okay, you still have the 90 million almost.

282
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,040
You still have, you know, 85 million,

283
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,880
let's say you have 80 million, right?

284
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,000
Way more money than you're ever gonna be able

285
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
to do anything with.

286
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,680
Now what are you gonna do with your time?

287
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:13,520
Right?

288
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,280
And it gets to this point where they start thinking, you know,

289
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,280
I guess I'd start helping, you know,

290
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,440
I'd start helping with X, Y or Z.

291
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,200
People gravitate towards different levels

292
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,600
of what they would wanna help in in life.

293
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,480
And usually what I've heard people say is,

294
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,120
I wanna help people who are victims of abuse,

295
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,320
or I wanna help people who, you know,

296
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,800
don't have food or who don't have water,

297
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,920
or I wanna help the poor.

298
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,880
There's certainly, and I wanna help animals, you know,

299
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,520
and create animal shelters.

300
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,600
Those are the top five things that I hear from people

301
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,640
on a consistent basis.

302
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,400
And then we shift the gears to talk about

303
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,320
what can you do today to start doing that?

304
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,640
But we also ask the question along the way,

305
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,920
what do you want to be remembered for?

306
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:00,880
And I hope you're writing that down.

307
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,120
If you heard me say that, I hope you write that down.

308
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,520
What do you want to be remembered for?

309
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,080
That question, it doesn't matter what anybody else says.

310
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,480
To me, the only person that matters to is you

311
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,440
and your Supreme Being, whoever that may be,

312
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,840
for me that's God.

313
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,880
It matters to me, what do I wanna be remembered for

314
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,120
between me and him?

315
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,560
And that's exactly what I focus on in my life.

316
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,560
So the vision for Passion Pro started

317
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:28,960
with that process of realizing I can help

318
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,440
unlock teenagers with this.

319
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,480
And then I started to give this assessment

320
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,960
to adults as well and let them kind of play with it.

321
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,280
And I wanted feedback from them.

322
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800
And next thing you know, I see adults starting to have,

323
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,080
you know, some pretty dramatic discoveries with this.

324
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,200
I had one lady who started to take it.

325
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,720
I went back, I met with her the next week

326
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,240
and she goes, she literally says, Jackson,

327
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,640
I was in your assessment for an hour and a half.

328
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,680
I mean, it's like a 30 minute assessment,

329
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:57,600
it's not that long.

330
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,920
She said, and she started crying, you know,

331
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,280
tearing up right there in public

332
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,760
and she said, I couldn't finish it.

333
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:04,720
And I said, why not?

334
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,000
You know, I'm worried like the technology

335
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,040
didn't work or something.

336
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,720
And she goes, I didn't wanna know the answers.

337
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,960
And I was, you know, I didn't react in front of her.

338
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,400
I was like, oh, you know, and I could see her.

339
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,320
I could see in her eyes regret.

340
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,720
I could see, I get, I was like, so clear to me

341
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,920
that here she was thinking back on her life,

342
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,480
what she missed out on.

343
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,120
She was probably in her fifties, you know,

344
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,560
maybe close to 60.

345
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:35,880
And I think she felt a combination of regret

346
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,280
with where her life was at and to trapped.

347
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,320
Very, very successful woman.

348
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,840
I mean, she's doing some really cool things

349
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,880
in businesses in San Antonio from a worldly perspective.

350
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,160
But I believe she got in there,

351
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,200
started looking at the questions about weaknesses

352
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,280
and strengths and what she'd wanna do.

353
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,320
And I don't think she felt comfortable with the reality

354
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,240
that she did not know how to get out

355
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,320
of the current situation her life had built herself around.

356
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,800
So she actually walked away from the assessment

357
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:06,960
and couldn't finish it.

358
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,040
Super valuable feedback.

359
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,240
I'm glad she gave that to me and helped me realize

360
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,160
that this is not for everybody.

361
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,040
You know, this is a conscious decision

362
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,000
that can be a very difficult process.

363
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
But it can also be the most freeing process in the world.

364
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,080
Just because something is difficult doesn't mean

365
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:21,920
that you shouldn't pursue it.

366
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,400
In fact, most things that generate good for us

367
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,240
are difficult, whether it's eating your vegetables,

368
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,400
exercising, you know, reading and learning.

369
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,200
All those things are hard activities

370
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,360
and they're meant to help you progress in life.

371
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,040
So sometimes we wanna pursue what is most hard.

372
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,880
Now, I went ahead and gave this same assessment

373
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,960
to a sales team.

374
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,440
And this particular sales team

375
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,800
was not your cream of the crop sales team.

376
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,000
And some of them had such bad attitudes about life.

377
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,720
You know, they're feeling that life sucks,

378
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,200
that they didn't have the capacity

379
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,400
to really put their heart and soul into this assessment.

380
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,280
In other words, they weren't willing

381
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,640
to be honest with themselves.

382
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,240
They just kind of went through the motions, right?

383
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,000
And said, oh, well, I would spend it on this.

384
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,480
I mean, oh, yeah, no, I just, what are my strengths?

385
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,520
Everything, what are my weaknesses?

386
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,560
Nothing, you know, or vice versa.

387
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,200
You know, condescending to themselves,

388
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,960
not being in a place where they're really willing

389
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,440
to self assess who they are.

390
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,360
If you're at that stage right now,

391
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,240
I'm telling you right now,

392
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,360
passions pros, are you ready to pursue your passions assessment?

393
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,760
It's not gonna do anything for you.

394
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,840
It can't, because you're not willing

395
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,440
to do anything for yourself.

396
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,280
You have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone

397
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,760
and actually take this assessment,

398
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,560
thinking through the questions, feeling through the questions.

399
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,220
And unfortunately, you are the one person

400
00:15:43,220 --> 00:15:44,720
who has to unlock that.

401
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,480
And if you're at a point where that seems scary,

402
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,440
then I highly recommend counseling

403
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,920
as a mechanism to support you through the process.

404
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,600
You probably need a community of support.

405
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,200
Some of you listening to this may not have that community,

406
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,920
but you may be diving into podcasts, episodes like this,

407
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,920
in order to find exactly what I'm talking about.

408
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,480
Just make sure you have a community to support you

409
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,360
as you strive to make the transition.

410
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,640
Because if you're part of an existing community

411
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,100
that does not know how to support you,

412
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:14,880
or is not into what people call the fru fru stuff,

413
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,280
and all the touchy feely things,

414
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,120
that community is going to probably trash you

415
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,440
for trying to go this route

416
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,920
and trying to make improvements to your life.

417
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,100
So again, be wise, try to be as wise as you can

418
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:30,840
with sharing this experience and what you do with it

419
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,800
with people who love you truly

420
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,880
and who support you on your progress towards your passions.

421
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,760
So with that said, there's somebody who took this quiz,

422
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,600
this passions assessment that absolutely blew my mind.

423
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,200
And this goes back to again,

424
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,760
what is the vision of Prashenpro

425
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120
and the value that it'll add to entrepreneurs

426
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,040
and to anybody else.

427
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,760
So I met a lady who had written a book.

428
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,920
The book actually was quite successful.

429
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,760
She was living in Mexico.

430
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,840
She was a valedictorian of her high school in the US.

431
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,080
She had served a mission for a church.

432
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,200
She had gotten her degree in international studies,

433
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,720
international relations, I believe it was,

434
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,380
near the top of her class at a private university.

435
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:15,480
There's so many things about her

436
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,480
that everything that she was married, she had kids.

437
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,440
She was a copywriter for a very well-known

438
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,920
financial organization.

439
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,640
And I asked her to take the passions assessment.

440
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,760
I had no idea what would happen.

441
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,680
I was actually, I think I was looking for her feedback.

442
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,240
I don't even remember why I asked her to do it

443
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,440
other than just mutually sharing projects or something.

444
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,640
So she takes this assessment

445
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,640
and I was blown away by her claims after.

446
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,160
Afterward, she's like, Jackson,

447
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,080
I know exactly what I wanna do with my life.

448
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,280
I wanna launch a business like this.

449
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,120
I wanna do an NPO.

450
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:52,260
I wanna launch a nonprofit that's named this.

451
00:17:52,260 --> 00:17:53,600
I wanna do this and this.

452
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,560
And I'm sitting there going,

453
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,160
this wasn't supposed to work for somebody like you.

454
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,880
Like, you're here compared to me in life.

455
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240
Like, she seems way set on all the things.

456
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,320
She's like a superhero to me and it's unlocked her.

457
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,720
I'm like, wow, this assessment is powerful.

458
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,040
So without further ado, we're going to put a video on

459
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,280
of Ashley of the tail publishing.com.

460
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,360
She took this assessment more than six years ago

461
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,240
and she retook it recently

462
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,040
and she just produced a video for me

463
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,040
and for you guys to show you the power

464
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,040
that the passion pro assessment can have on your life.

465
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,240
So, Emmanuel, if you can pull that up.

466
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,760
Will this an Ashley review?

467
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,560
I am so grateful for passion pros

468
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,440
and for the passion's assessment.

469
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,640
I met Jackson many years ago

470
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,880
and he had just developed the assessment

471
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,840
and asked me to take it and see how it helped.

472
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,840
And I had wanted to start a business, start a blog,

473
00:18:56,360 --> 00:19:00,880
start do something to share these amazing stories

474
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,600
that I had discovered

475
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,160
and this passion that I had found

476
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,160
and this desire to share other stories

477
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,080
through my own words and through other people's words,

478
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,360
whether that was writing it myself

479
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:22,520
or helping to edit somebody else's book.

480
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,840
There were so many stories that I could see

481
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,880
and wanted to share and shed light on

482
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,000
and share with the world

483
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,480
so that people could know about them

484
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,800
and I felt passionate about that

485
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,360
and I'd been working towards that goal for four or five years

486
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:41,720
and I was gaining a lot of skills to be able to do that

487
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,080
and I had the vision,

488
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,240
but it wasn't until I took Jackson's assessment

489
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:52,240
that I realized like all the pieces fell into place

490
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,400
and with his help as well,

491
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,560
I could see how to take all those pieces

492
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,120
and turn it into a business

493
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:06,120
and that's when Dateo Publishing really became an entity

494
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,760
and not just this thing that I was doing

495
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,280
or the skills I was developing

496
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,200
or whatever it might be,

497
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,000
it became a real living, breathing business

498
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,400
and that business enabled me to pursue my passion

499
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,040
and to employ other people,

500
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,440
which I feel very passionate about that

501
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,160
just in and of itself

502
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,440
and create a business, create results for my clients,

503
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,480
create value and abundance

504
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,480
and all these wonderful things

505
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,240
and then recently I retook the passions assessment

506
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,440
so six years later

507
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,920
and it was very interesting to compare my results

508
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,520
and to look at what passions had remained the same

509
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,560
and really there was a lot that was the same,

510
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,320
but as I've built out that passion

511
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,680
and was able to pursue it,

512
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,680
I was able to add more to it

513
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,560
and to discover a greater depth with those passions

514
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,920
and that now that I've created a system and a business

515
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,480
that allows me to pursue that,

516
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,080
I can then go one step further

517
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,400
and then another and then another

518
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,400
to really turn those dreams into a reality

519
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,400
and so I love how we can really sit down

520
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,160
and think about what is it that drives me?

521
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,840
What am I passionate about?

522
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,520
I think that too few of us

523
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,440
take the time to think about that

524
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,440
and we can fall into this cycle

525
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,440
or this trap of just living through the motions

526
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,440
and not pursuing our passions

527
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,160
and living a life of purpose

528
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,440
and so I love what Jackson's doing with Passion Pros.

529
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,440
I love what he's doing with the assessment

530
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,680
as part of Passion Pros

531
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,520
and how it makes you sit down

532
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,080
and really think about what you want

533
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,760
and then not just identify it, but then go after it

534
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,200
and he has all the tools to help you do that

535
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,360
to turn your passions into something real and tangible

536
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:26,040
that you can pursue and obtain.

537
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,480
Oh man, I loved, I absolutely loved hearing that from her.

538
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,480
What a blessing it was to get such a valuable,

539
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,760
deep testimony about what Ashley's gotten out of this

540
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,440
and so when I think of Passion Pro,

541
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,520
I think of the fun events that we're gonna be able

542
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,920
to do with this too and they are gonna be fun.

543
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,480
When we talked about vision of Passion Pro,

544
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,960
one of the things that I wanna make sure

545
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,480
that happens over the coming years with this

546
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,760
is that we ultimately create a very similar event

547
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,320
to South by Southwest, but here in San Antonio

548
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,320
where I live because I know that that would unlock

549
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,840
and unleash the power for everybody

550
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,760
to understand the value of what it is

551
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,120
and what it's capable of, what it, the extent.

552
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:16,520
There's no box around Passion Pro.

553
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,760
Notice across the bottom there,

554
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,600
I talk about mother and father being equally important

555
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,280
roles or job titles as CEO and society.

556
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,680
Many could argue if they want to argue

557
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,760
that mother and father are titles and responsibilities

558
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,000
that are even more important

559
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,800
than being a chief executive officer in a company.

560
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,040
That's fine, you guys can argue.

561
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,800
Life is great, to me, each of those are important

562
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,760
and what's important to you may be different

563
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,120
than what's important to somebody else,

564
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,320
but what I do know is that in society,

565
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,160
people who are a stay-at-home parent

566
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,240
or a full-time parent and do not work

567
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,280
or contribute to society, right?

568
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,720
There's that conversation, like that already.

569
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,480
That is a massive condescension and disrespect

570
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,880
to the people who hold the titles of mother and father

571
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,360
and focus their full time on raising the citizens

572
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:09,520
in their own household, which is one of the greatest

573
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,720
and one of the most difficult callings that there is.

574
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,840
So when it comes to Passion Pro,

575
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,040
one of the other purposes of it is to help make sure

576
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,880
that moms and dads are certified, so to speak,

577
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,520
receive some type of validation in life

578
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,040
for what it is that they do,

579
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,680
because their contribution is often looked down upon,

580
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,640
they're not appreciated, and I don't see

581
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,520
too many other entities coming out with awards

582
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,600
or ways to certify and help those people

583
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,840
feel as powerful as they are.

584
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,160
Now, maybe they don't need it, but some people do need

585
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,720
and want that, some people really love the idea

586
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,640
of being recognized for what they do,

587
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,200
and so I wanna create an entity where we've got the ability

588
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,840
to start doing that at scale.

589
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,280
So when it comes to Passion Pro online,

590
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,080
like why am I going to do this for free?

591
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,800
And how is that gonna be possible?

592
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,800
Well, for one, we're doing it for free

593
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,200
because it's the right thing to do.

594
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,760
Everybody deserves the right to be able

595
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,360
to pursue their passions.

596
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,160
That's just my personal belief,

597
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,240
and I wanna be able to empower as many people

598
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,920
as possible to do that, and you do that

599
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,560
through free accounts.

600
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Now, some would argue, well, people don't value what's free.

601
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,960
That's bull crap.

602
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,680
I know that because I lived in Uruguay,

603
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,480
and I watched people who were starving

604
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,600
and who didn't have water and who didn't have their means,

605
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,920
and if you gave them something for free, man,

606
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,600
they showed up, and they went all out for it,

607
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,440
and they were very grateful for that.

608
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,240
So that's just a salesperson manipulating you,

609
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,040
the sales tactics, by the way, if somebody says that.

610
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,680
But why is it gonna be free,

611
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,760
and how do we make sure to build an event

612
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:46,840
such as South by Southwest?

613
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,400
Well, that comes through sponsorships.

614
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,240
That comes through making sure that we put ourselves

615
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,200
in a position to where people want to sponsor our events,

616
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,880
and how do you do that?

617
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,080
Just for the kicks and giggles

618
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,920
and for the entrepreneurs out there,

619
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,320
eyes and attention, right?

620
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,640
TikTok, Facebook, these big platforms,

621
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,520
the reason why they're able to get people to advertise

622
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,920
and be sponsors of their programs is because they have

623
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,720
so much eyes and attention on what's going on.

624
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,120
So as we build out Passion Pro,

625
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,440
and we make it cooler and more fun,

626
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,480
and we move from the wonderful FruFru stuff

627
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,400
that exists on my side to also building things

628
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,160
around the musicians that are gonna be involved with it,

629
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,000
around the programs that are for artists,

630
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,400
the programs for all sorts of different passion and niches,

631
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,200
that's gonna gain more and more attention.

632
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,080
It's gonna snowball and have a momentum effect

633
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:39,080
hit at some point where people can then go and,

634
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,360
sorry, I saw a little message,

635
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,040
a kind of message from Ashley during the middle of this

636
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,480
that was a little bit ironic.

637
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,760
It was about business stuff though,

638
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,800
not that she was saying something about her video.

639
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,880
Anyway, so as that grows,

640
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,720
that's going to create more attention,

641
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,240
that attention is going to drive more reason

642
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,400
for people to want to sponsor this program.

643
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,560
And at any point in time,

644
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,400
anybody can of course sponsor this.

645
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,520
We certainly need the funding in order to scale

646
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:03,560
to the levels that we wanna scale.

647
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,960
We wanna have global impact with this process.

648
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,280
I do believe strongly that if more people

649
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,960
were inspired to stop pursuing careers

650
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,440
based on financial gains solely,

651
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,560
and based on what others want them to do

652
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,320
and who they want them to be,

653
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,120
then we would have a society that was a lot happier.

654
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:24,280
And by having a society that's a lot happier,

655
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,040
we would then have, and that's more purpose driven, right?

656
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,760
People who are going out there and pursuing their passions

657
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,040
in a way that benefits others

658
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,520
in a way that they want to be remembered for,

659
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,040
now you've got positive effect taking place

660
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,080
in communities as well.

661
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,760
And as positive effect takes place within a community,

662
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,560
all of a sudden the tribe,

663
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,880
the community tribe itself starts to feel uplifted

664
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,280
and starts to see the world in a new light.

665
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,280
And so in order to create a tidal wave of effect like that,

666
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,960
you've got to have momentum on your side.

667
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,960
Otherwise it's a little bit of an uphill battle,

668
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,960
which is fine too.

669
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,040
I'm also ready to do that as inspired by movies

670
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,680
like Remember the Titans.

671
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,280
If you haven't seen Remember the Titans

672
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,560
or you haven't seen it in a long time,

673
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,760
the football coach in that movie

674
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,000
is dealing with a football team

675
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,080
in the middle of the civil rights movement.

676
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,240
He becomes the head coach.

677
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,200
He's a black man who becomes the head coach

678
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,520
of the football team and they're trying to fire him

679
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,520
from day one.

680
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,960
And so he's got nothing but external negative pressures

681
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,360
coming at him and his ability to lead his community

682
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:29,920
by leading the football players

683
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,800
and getting their buy-in first, which was not easy,

684
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,600
leads to a movement that ultimately changed

685
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,880
an entire town within a matter of,

686
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,440
I don't know, six months or so.

687
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,720
Maybe it's the whole year.

688
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,560
And it didn't change everybody,

689
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,800
but the majority started to shift and change.

690
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,480
I do believe in being able to make those types of impacts.

691
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,040
I do believe that all of us,

692
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,120
if we dig within ourselves,

693
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,080
have the capability of doing such.

694
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,000
So let's see here.

695
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,480
We've got a question from Jaime who says,

696
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,920
will there be a Spanish version?

697
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,160
I'd love to share with my family.

698
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:10,160
Well, let me ask Jaime some of my Spanish-speaking teammates.

699
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,240
Jaime, you're one of them.

700
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,800
When will we have the Spanish version ready?

701
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,080
I'm on well.

702
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,800
When will we have the Spanish version ready?

703
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,400
And I'm just kidding, I'm just teasing you guys.

704
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,680
We can start chipping away at that.

705
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,120
And it goes back to that old saying,

706
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,040
how do you eat an elephant?

707
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,200
One bite at a time.

708
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,200
That's how we do it.

709
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,000
And at the same time,

710
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,960
if you've got lots of people

711
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,520
that are able to eat the elephant with you,

712
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,120
then it can be tackled a lot faster.

713
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,040
So we've got our community,

714
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,120
over to the beginning of that,

715
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,840
that's opportunities for work for Latinos on Facebook.

716
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,080
That's another free project that we run.

717
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,760
It's free job training for Latinos

718
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:51,960
and free interview process.

719
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,160
We teach them about how to find work online

720
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,000
the whole nine years.

721
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,120
Absolutely amazing.

722
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,360
It's part of Passion Pro, so to speak.

723
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,560
And there's opportunities in that community

724
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,600
to probably step up and help us translate

725
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,960
some of these materials

726
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,960
that can be such a blessing to others.

727
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,080
Now, I don't expect anybody to do that,

728
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,680
but I'm also inspired and grateful

729
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,080
for those who are willing to keep in mind,

730
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,080
I mean, I've been building Passion Pro for free

731
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,800
for the last eight years.

732
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,960
I'm not trying to inspire free labor.

733
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,080
I'm trying to inspire people to realize

734
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,000
when you've got a value that you know,

735
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,360
that you're called to bring to the world

736
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,360
and you wanna put your hat for service on, put it on.

737
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,240
You like make it happen.

738
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,400
If you feel this is that valuable, then go for it.

739
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,280
And if not, that's okay too.

740
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,560
I'll continue to build it out.

741
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,480
But as far as the Spanish version of it,

742
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,200
yeah, I mean, I have a feeling my team

743
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,680
is gonna pull that together faster than I am.

744
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,760
What I know I need to be focused on is

745
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,760
all the people who come through Passion Pro

746
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,880
in the here and now for what it is.

747
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,120
One, we already know there's several things

748
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,480
that need to be adjusted in the existing challenge.

749
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:00,480
You know, it's not perfect.

750
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,040
It's not something that I'm ready to put

751
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,520
on Oprah Winfrey Show.

752
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,320
It's not something that I'm ready to have millions

753
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,600
of people come into.

754
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,080
I'm looking for the alpha level users,

755
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,120
the beta level users, the preliminary people

756
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,200
who are gonna come in, appreciate the value

757
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,760
for what it is, benefit from it,

758
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,880
and give us sincere feedback about what would you do

759
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,360
to adjust the Passion Pro so that everybody

760
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,120
who comes after you has an even better experience.

761
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,400
I know one thing right now, the content is very heavy

762
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,640
in terms of how much you need to read.

763
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,680
A lot of that content would be in better format as a video

764
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,680
or at least a supplementary video

765
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,920
with the content still there for those

766
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,160
who do like to skim and read like myself.

767
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:46,160
But also a lot of it can be content that is design, right?

768
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,720
And it showcases more visually what it is I'm trying

769
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,600
to articulate on that particular challenge.

770
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,840
We also want to make sure that we're building out

771
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,800
the community and again, inspiring more and more feedback

772
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,760
from people in order to build it out better.

773
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,640
Those preliminary users become our greatest resource

774
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,240
to mold and transform it.

775
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,880
Some of them I wouldn't be surprised to see step up

776
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,880
and join our organization as perhaps a paid for team member

777
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:14,720
at some point.

778
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,880
And we're not at that stage with passionpro.org yet.

779
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,400
This is not a money grab opportunity for people.

780
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,720
This is about giving back.

781
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,120
It's about making sure that we empower others

782
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,440
to pursue their purpose.

783
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,720
And as we, again, as we take off with our other business

784
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,000
ventures, all of that provides the fuel we need

785
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,680
to propel our vehicle of Passion Pro forward

786
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,440
and really make the difference in the impact

787
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,120
that we want to make in the lives of those around us

788
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,120
and those waiting for it.

789
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,840
So let me go back to some of these things

790
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,440
Let me go back to some of these questions

791
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,480
that the team came up with.

792
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,280
Again, what should you consider before taking

793
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,280
the Passion Pro challenge?

794
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,320
I'm gonna go back to it.

795
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,680
I can't say this enough.

796
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,360
You've got to be willing to be self aware.

797
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,360
You've got to want it.

798
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,400
Taking any type of assessment in life,

799
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,160
if you don't really put yourself into it,

800
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,880
you're not gonna get anything out of it.

801
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,720
You have to be willing to put yourself in it.

802
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,720
It's gonna ask you about your strengths.

803
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,240
You got to be honest about those.

804
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,200
It's gonna ask you about your weaknesses.

805
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,080
What are those?

806
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,920
You've got to be honest with yourself about those.

807
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,440
If you're hiding your weaknesses,

808
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,160
then you're not gonna be able to be your true authentic self

809
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,880
and get the type of support that you need

810
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,640
from yourself and from others by ignoring the fact

811
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,040
that you may have things that you need help with

812
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,840
from others, I think we all do.

813
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,400
So vision and versus passion, how are these related?

814
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,960
Great question, guys.

815
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,720
In fact, I'm actually gonna put Amonwell on the spot.

816
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,600
I think he came up with this.

817
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,800
So I'm gonna have him come in and talk to me.

818
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,040
Yeah, he's going, no, no.

819
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,600
Yeah, you're gonna come out here with me.

820
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,360
I'll start on my side of Amonwell to help,

821
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,200
but I definitely want you on

822
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,240
and I want you to take what I say and add to it.

823
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,240
Because once I talk about my side of it,

824
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,560
it's probably gonna inspire you to consider a new angle

825
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,880
as well as others who are listening.

826
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,480
So if you're listening, feel free to help me define this.

827
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,480
For me, passions can exist without vision.

828
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:16,440
And I've learned in my life that can be very dangerous.

829
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,720
When I'm passionate about somebody else's project

830
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:24,200
or I'm passionate about something else in life,

831
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,760
that doesn't bring me value,

832
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,640
it can distract me from figuring out

833
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,200
what my values actually are.

834
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,520
In fact, a lot of people,

835
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,200
I would say most alcoholics have found a passion.

836
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,360
They found a passion for alcohol.

837
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,800
And that is unfortunately really hurting them

838
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,800
in terms of their purpose and their life

839
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,640
with their friends and family.

840
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:47,560
I've seen that with my dad,

841
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,680
I've seen that with lots of family members.

842
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,680
On the flip side, vision can also be something

843
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,320
that is not great if you have the wrong vision,

844
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,040
so to speak, if you're going for visions

845
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,000
based on others' needs.

846
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,640
So you gotta make sure that you have your vision to find

847
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,520
and you gotta figure out your healthy passions as well.

848
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:07,840
But when you combine the two, right,

849
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,480
when you have a clear vision

850
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,600
for what it is that you want out of life, right?

851
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,480
And you know that that vision,

852
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,720
like you can tell, you can feel it in your heart and your mind

853
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:18,560
if it's something that is good

854
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,480
or if it's something that makes you feel bad about others,

855
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,520
then go for the vision that feels good.

856
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:30,200
And then, if it's a vision that really inspires you,

857
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,080
you're gonna feel it in your heart.

858
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:31,920
You're gonna wanna follow it.

859
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,720
And that passion, it can increase and grow at time.

860
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:37,440
Don't get me wrong, I didn't always want to be,

861
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,520
I didn't know I was gonna launch first-class business.

862
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,840
I didn't know I was gonna launch passion pros.

863
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,360
I knew I was gonna do something, all right?

864
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,480
And I figured it would come

865
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,640
after my professional sports career, all right?

866
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,360
That's what I really wanted.

867
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,920
And I remember in high school,

868
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,800
I came up with this idea of a company called Heck Yes Moo.

869
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,200
And it was an inside joke with a friend, Heck Yes,

870
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,200
methods of operations.

871
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,080
I don't even know how I discovered that term in high school

872
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,760
or how I realized that was gonna be important.

873
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,240
But I figured I'm pretty well organized.

874
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,320
I'll probably help businesses with this.

875
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,760
It was either right in high school or right after.

876
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,760
I don't remember which, but it was somewhere along there

877
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,320
where I realized that, no,

878
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,560
I didn't launch that company or that brand.

879
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,760
But it was part of the process

880
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,920
of figuring out my foggy vision, right?

881
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,040
And your vision may start foggy,

882
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,520
but as you continue to drive along the path,

883
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,000
eventually you'll get out of the fog.

884
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,600
And usually that will lead you to pivot a little bit

885
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,880
here or there, which is why I've also had a company

886
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,720
in the past called Pivot Point.

887
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:37,000
So Amanoel, without further ado, man, come on out here.

888
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,040
And let's hear you talk about how, from your side,

889
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,400
what would you add about vision and passion being related?

890
00:36:45,240 --> 00:36:46,840
Hey, good afternoon.

891
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,840
Thanks for putting the shirt on, by the way.

892
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:50,720
I'm just kidding.

893
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:52,040
I'm just kidding.

894
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,920
No, it's okay.

895
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,000
Well, talking about vision and passion,

896
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,640
it's really important, Jackson,

897
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,240
because those are two important concepts, right?

898
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:03,760
Those are like different,

899
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,960
but they are completely related

900
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,040
because from my perspective, vision is a long-term goal,

901
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,640
right?

902
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,840
And passion, in the other hand, is an emotional

903
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,720
and or a feeling that motivates you to do something.

904
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:21,720
So when you're starting a business, for example,

905
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:26,320
when you have goals cleared, you have your vision, right?

906
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,200
But you need something to motivate it to go

907
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,800
and be able to do that.

908
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,920
And that's when the passion start working on.

909
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,360
So that's why both are really important

910
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,000
and they are related for me.

911
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:39,840
Dude, I love that.

912
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,480
I'm really glad I made you come out here.

913
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,160
We're inspired you to.

914
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:45,760
You're like, no, don't do it.

915
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,880
But here you go, throwing down an even clearer version

916
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,240
of vision versus passion than myself.

917
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:53,920
And so I'm grateful that you brought that up.

918
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,720
And yes, the motivation factor can be difficult for people.

919
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:00,400
Some of the remedies for that.

920
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,600
So if you've got a vision

921
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,880
or you got passions that you may wanna pursue again,

922
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,480
I highly recommend, if you can pull it up on the screen,

923
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,120
Amanwal, passionpro.org, so people can see

924
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,160
how simple and easy it is to sign up,

925
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,800
then we'd love to have you come through that process.

926
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,880
And you'll have the ability to go through that.

927
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,440
Then we've got a community on Facebook.

928
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,720
And our community, while it does have a few hundred people

929
00:38:21,720 --> 00:38:23,240
in there, I'm not gonna lie to you,

930
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:26,080
we don't have that super active right now.

931
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,120
And what creates an active community?

932
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,840
Active leaders, right?

933
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,880
People who come in and wanna participate

934
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,600
and who's a leader?

935
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,480
Anybody who wants to step up and said community.

936
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,160
And can you find other passion communities

937
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,000
that are out there?

938
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:41,840
Absolutely.

939
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:42,680
And do we recommend it?

940
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:43,600
Absolutely.

941
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:44,480
The more the merrier.

942
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,480
There's opportunities to pull communities together

943
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,360
for tribes to grow within tribes

944
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,880
or nations to come together

945
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,280
and form a new nation, so to speak.

946
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,640
We don't have any fear or doubts

947
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,040
or desires to suppress that type of growth.

948
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,800
We want to see that happen.

949
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,120
There's eight billion people in this world.

950
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,480
That's a lot of people,

951
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,880
most of whom need help with the basics of life,

952
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,440
let alone finding their passions, their purpose,

953
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,520
and actually having a vision for themselves

954
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,160
beyond where to find water or where to find food.

955
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,880
And it would be a wonderful day

956
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,840
if all the different passion companies

957
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,440
in the world came together

958
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,200
and started working towards the process

959
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,640
of figuring out, okay, who needs these things the most?

960
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,520
Who can we get these types of resources to the fastest?

961
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:35,640
How can we help?

962
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:38,640
That's really what it should all be about.

963
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,280
And I'm hoping that we do inspire that type of change.

964
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,400
So granted that most of my audience

965
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,440
is in the first world

966
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,200
or has access to first world technologies,

967
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,520
if you're looking to pursue your passions

968
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,880
and you're looking to find that motivation,

969
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,640
then I'm just gonna give a number of advices,

970
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,240
things that can help you do that.

971
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,800
I'm gonna pull Jaime's comment up in the meantime

972
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:05,880
as well, let's read this real quick.

973
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,240
So Jaime, passions mold our visions

974
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:12,320
and understanding what drives us

975
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,840
will lead us to making those visions become realities.

976
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,000
Very good.

977
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,920
Passions definitely drive the vision forward.

978
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,160
And the more we exercise our passion,

979
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,480
the more we exercise our meditation or prayer

980
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,680
or however we go about getting clarity about our visions,

981
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,280
the stronger that it's going to get.

982
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,120
And it doesn't work any different than your muscles.

983
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:35,960
Right?

984
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,440
And if you can understand that,

985
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,640
whether you have a six-fac or whether you're fat,

986
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,680
or whether you're skinny fat like me,

987
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,160
I understand that as I exercise daily,

988
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,800
my body starts to respond

989
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,920
not immediately, but over time.

990
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,880
And sometimes my response begins with a negative,

991
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,640
not a positive transformation

992
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,640
because your body's going, what the heck are you doing?

993
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:56,920
Well, the same is true

994
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,600
when you're trying to approach vision and passion,

995
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,720
but some of the secret weapon tools

996
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:01,840
that you should keep in mind,

997
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,960
and I highly recommend writing some of these down.

998
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,080
And they are very, very simple by the way,

999
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,120
but simple does not mean easy.

1000
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:10,960
Okay?

1001
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,500
So if you want to be healthy in life, for instance,

1002
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:18,500
take 10,000 steps per day and do 100 pushups and 100 setups.

1003
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:20,120
Right?

1004
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,480
That's a very simple formula.

1005
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,240
And it's so uninspiring

1006
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:26,280
that it's not going to go viral on YouTube.

1007
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,080
But if you were to do that on a daily basis,

1008
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,880
your inevitable result would probably be

1009
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,520
that you would be in a much healthier state of mind

1010
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,160
or much healthier position in life.

1011
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,840
But it's so simple and so redundant

1012
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,560
and can be so boring

1013
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,460
that people don't want to do it.

1014
00:41:44,460 --> 00:41:47,520
So, you know, where we get distracted,

1015
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,080
drinking water, a gallon of water per day,

1016
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,080
I think is what they say.

1017
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,200
I mean, I just, I only really drink water.

1018
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,560
And so that helps with my attitude.

1019
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:57,560
It helps with my body.

1020
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,120
It flushes things out of me

1021
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,960
that are negative probably.

1022
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,920
I mean, I eat plenty of processed food.

1023
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,000
I probably shouldn't.

1024
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,280
Making sure that you get to sleep

1025
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,320
that you're supposed to get on a choup.

1026
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,040
Oh man, how do you say her last name is a choup?

1027
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,800
She was on the other day, fantastic life coach,

1028
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:17,800
wonderful attitude,

1029
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,560
teaches people how to find their confidence.

1030
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:20,960
She's actually really good at it

1031
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:21,840
for how young she is.

1032
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:22,880
She's amazing at it.

1033
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:24,760
Anna talked about,

1034
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,000
she had a post to the day on LinkedIn

1035
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,400
about making sure you get more sleep.

1036
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,160
And I kind of came in there and was like,

1037
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,600
well, some of this generation needs to learn to sleep less.

1038
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,760
You know, they're sleeping their life away.

1039
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,000
And I kind of took the other angle on it.

1040
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,600
But it was a really good, healthy debate

1041
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,320
around both realities.

1042
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,680
Now, also making sure that you get sunshine,

1043
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,440
going outside, you know,

1044
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,600
getting a walk in for fresh air's sake, super important.

1045
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,920
Serving others and specifically doing so in small ways.

1046
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,960
You know, and I remember a mentor talking about

1047
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,920
giving $100 away to a random stranger,

1048
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,440
like give a dollar away to a random stranger,

1049
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,120
give a peso away to somebody, you know,

1050
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,800
or pay for food for somebody that's behind you

1051
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,280
in line at the restaurant that you go to.

1052
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,120
That's another way.

1053
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,080
I like to get the nutrient grain bars at Walmart

1054
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,000
and keep those in my car because they're not as perishable.

1055
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,160
So when the Texas sun beats down on my car

1056
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,720
and crushes, makes everything melt in my car,

1057
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:27,560
nutrient grain bars somehow withstand that heat.

1058
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,240
And so I like to keep water bottles with me as well.

1059
00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:33,560
You know, one time I gave a guy the water bottle

1060
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,200
and the nutrient bar was, it was hot outside.

1061
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,600
And I was like, I'm really sorry.

1062
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:38,760
Like this is hot water.

1063
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,200
He goes, is it wet?

1064
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,440
Like excited to have that water bottle.

1065
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,200
And I was like, yeah, it is, man.

1066
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,040
You know, God bless you.

1067
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,040
And he said the same thing.

1068
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,560
And you know, he said, God bless you too.

1069
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,280
And I was like, wow, you know, like to be that,

1070
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,280
and that difficult of a position to where you're ready

1071
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,320
and excited to receive hot water from somebody

1072
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,360
in a hot day, you know, like I am truly blessed.

1073
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,560
And so if you are too, and you know,

1074
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,480
one of the places that I lived in is we're wrapping up,

1075
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:11,000
I used to live in a place known as Happy Valley.

1076
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:15,400
And that's over in Utah, up in Utah rather from where I met.

1077
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:20,400
And yes, there is a degree of safety and happiness

1078
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:21,600
that exists.

1079
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,120
And from what I understand, that general region

1080
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:29,600
from Provo to Salt Lake City is one of the top users

1081
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,000
of Prozac and antidepressants.

1082
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,560
And to me, it's not a surprise.

1083
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,000
And it's not, and I get it.

1084
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,360
I also felt very depressed after a while living there

1085
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,000
because I didn't feel like there was anybody there

1086
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,360
I could really help.

1087
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,200
People had problems that I couldn't relate to.

1088
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,480
People had problems of, you know,

1089
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:54,480
a first world caliber that were so not my new,

1090
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,000
and again, they had, or they had really severe problems

1091
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,520
they couldn't really talk about with anybody.

1092
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,120
And you have to be like a super therapist to help with.

1093
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,240
So I wasn't able to be effective in helping others.

1094
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:06,720
And that certainly took a toll on my psyche.

1095
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,280
I like to live in the real world.

1096
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:14,120
I like to live around people who have normal everyday problems

1097
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,200
just like myself, and I like to be able to help those people.

1098
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,560
It drives joy to my soul.

1099
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,760
I also enjoy helping my counterparts and friends

1100
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,160
and team members in Central and South America

1101
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,040
and looking for new people who, you know,

1102
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,840
are making a dollar or less per day,

1103
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,320
a dollar or less per hour,

1104
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,400
and seeing if we can transform their lives

1105
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,680
by helping them find work.

1106
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,840
That to me feels my soul with good feelings,

1107
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,680
and that's really what Passion Pro is all about.

1108
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,960
I wanna help people live with more purpose,

1109
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,880
find what it is they wanna do in this life,

1110
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,520
ultimately cultivate joy because of it,

1111
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:57,520
and yeah, be able to transform our globe.

1112
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,480
We need it, and we have the opportunity to do so.

1113
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,160
And so I spend my time on that

1114
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,600
rather than worrying about the negativity

1115
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,320
that goes on in the world around me,

1116
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,080
and I feel like my impact is having a greater purpose

1117
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:15,240
than when I used to focus on the negativity of news

1118
00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:16,360
that exists in the world today.

1119
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,960
