00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,680
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheared podcast home of people, politics

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:12,680
and popular culture.

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,320
I'm your host, Austin Creed want to welcome you on the show.

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,340
So you know, I like to talk about obviously people, but people doesn't usually include

5
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:27,720
myself I tend to not include myself in the conversation because I don't want to pigeonhole

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,320
the discussion.

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,280
It's really easy for someone to just talk about themselves all the time.

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,120
And while I don't usually do that today, I believe it to be relevant.

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:44,200
So we're going to talk a little bit about me, my experience, but I don't want this to

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,720
be a diary show.

11
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:52,320
This is supposed to be a testament to the fact that my philosophy works and it's working

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,960
for me right now.

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,120
And you know, I'm no stranger to tragedy.

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,080
I'm no stranger to despair.

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,360
I am no stranger to pain while I may not have experienced such levels of pain that other

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,000
people have experienced.

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,800
This is, this may be true.

18
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,880
I know how to build my life back from the brink.

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:22,440
Well, I saw, you know this because I've talked about it before, but I was in the military

20
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:31,720
for almost two years and during that time I was drifting, I, I thought I wanted a certain

21
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,720
thing and by thing I mean I wanted direction.

22
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,360
I wanted purpose.

23
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,260
I wanted my life to have meaning.

24
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:42,320
So I thought that signing up for the military would give that to me.

25
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:47,520
Well, it did, but not in the way that I was expecting.

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,960
And because of that, I ended up in a very dark place.

27
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:57,080
I ended up going to a mental institution for about 28 days.

28
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,840
Now while I don't consider myself to be crazy, I do want to let you know that I know the

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,240
realities of mental health.

30
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:09,880
I know the power that medic, that the SSRI medication has on people because I took them.

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,400
I know what they do to people.

32
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,880
I know how it affects the human mind, but I also know what it's like to be on suicide

33
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,040
watch and to be in a very dark place.

34
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,960
So I have sympathy for people who are on the verge.

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,320
I know there are certain people in this space who think that mental health may not be a

36
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,260
serious thing, may not be real.

37
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:37,680
I know it to be a real problem, but I also know that with that real problem comes a genuine

38
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,020
solution.

39
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:43,640
While the solution is not necessarily what you want, it's what you need.

40
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:47,760
It is what you require to move ahead.

41
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,720
In my experience, sorry, I'm trying not to get emotional right now.

42
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,840
This is tough for me to talk about.

43
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:01,040
I'm not normally emotional, but this is a very poignant topic to my personal life.

44
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,120
When it comes down to it, I understand why people are unhappy.

45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,000
I was very unhappy with my life when I was in high school, after high school, when I

46
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,960
went in the military.

47
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,480
I had no purpose, direction.

48
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,280
I did what I thought other people wanted me to do.

49
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,240
I didn't have a life that I wanted.

50
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,280
I felt powerless to stop it.

51
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,840
I felt powerless in my own life to do anything about it.

52
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:39,560
And it was only when I hit rock bottom that I realized I had nowhere else to go.

53
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,120
So I might as well go on the path that I want.

54
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,440
And there are a couple of people in my life that really helped me get there.

55
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,960
And one of them is my cousin, who's a little bit older than me.

56
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,160
He is a godson.

57
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,240
I respect him so much.

58
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,760
I don't know if he's listening to the show.

59
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,360
He might be.

60
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,360
I won't mention his name.

61
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,360
I don't want him to.

62
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,360
He's a very private guy.

63
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,720
But he taught me about how crypto works.

64
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,640
He taught me what it was like to be on your own.

65
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,280
He's unmarried.

66
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,640
He taught me what it was like and that it was OK to not be in the matrix.

67
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,400
It was OK to live the life you wanted to live.

68
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,760
And he was winning and he's still winning to this day.

69
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,760
You know, it's easy for people to look on the Internet and see people roughen it.

70
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,960
You know, and I get it.

71
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,560
That might include me.

72
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,320
But it's different when you see someone who talks to talk and who's walked the walk.

73
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,400
You can tell the difference when you look at somebody who's made the sacrifices and

74
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,240
now they have all the freedom in the world and you get to see that for the first time.

75
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,480
It changes your life forever because it gives you something to shoot for.

76
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,360
It gives you something that's an alternative to the force fed matrix rat race life that

77
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,320
most of us are given every second of every day.

78
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,320
I said I'm right.

79
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,560
I'm sitting in a parking lot in the mall right now recording this.

80
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,960
And I look at the people around me and there are people they're all going to consume the

81
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,560
name brand stuff.

82
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,320
They're going to get the stuff that's just a bunch of junk.

83
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,720
It doesn't matter.

84
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,160
Now, it may matter to them.

85
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,800
That's a different conversation.

86
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,560
But when you look at I met people in my life, some of whom I respect more than anybody else

87
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:34,560
in my life who have sacrificed, who have faced adversity from the people that they love.

88
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,800
But when they started winning, they started to shut up.

89
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,720
When it was only when he started to win that people got out of his business and were like,

90
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,360
oh, damn, damn, he actually winning.

91
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,920
Damn, he was ahead of the curve.

92
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,440
If you are ahead of the curve, people who are behind the curve will not see what the

93
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,280
hell you're talking about.

94
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:57,280
They'll call you crazy.

95
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,280
They'll gaslight you.

96
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:01,520
They'll talk junk about you behind your back.

97
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,640
They'll laugh at you.

98
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,320
They'll sniggle at you.

99
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,200
But only when you start winning, they'll be like, damn, damn, like I was ahead of the

100
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,200
curve.

101
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,200
Shoot, I should listen to him.

102
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,960
He was ahead of the curve.

103
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,360
But this ties into my my whole point of the show.

104
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,200
You can build your life back better.

105
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,800
Joe Biden says he's going to build the economy back better.

106
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,440
I say you can rebuild your life back better.

107
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,440
You can write that one down.

108
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,160
You can build your life back better.

109
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,660
I don't care if you're down and living in a cardboard box under a bridge somewhere.

110
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:35,400
You can build your life back.

111
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,400
Is it going to be easy?

112
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,400
No.

113
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,680
Is it going to be worth it?

114
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,680
Oh, you betcha.

115
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Oh, yes, it will.

116
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,080
And I'm speaking as someone who's building his life back better right now.

117
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:52,280
I went from being on suicide watch in a hospital facing potentially a dishonorable discharge

118
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:58,960
in the military for conduct to now having my own show, loving it, being out and getting

119
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,680
my degree.

120
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,080
I love what I'm doing now.

121
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:10,000
I wake up every day excited to do this show, to produce for this show, to improve this

122
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
show because I love it.

123
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,680
I love hearing some of the stories that people send me that I'm helping them out or that

124
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,080
they've never heard someone speak like the way that I speak.

125
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,640
And it inspires them.

126
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,840
But I deserve to get more views because I spit the honest truth and the big money people

127
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,760
who run the big tech.

128
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,600
They don't want you to hear this message.

129
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,060
They want you to go work in their factories.

130
00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:36,200
They want you to go work for them for minimum wage.

131
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,840
That's what they want so they can control you.

132
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,560
That's why they hate Elon Musk.

133
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,000
Elon Musk said respectfully, go fuck yourself.

134
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,640
How many people do you hear that are on that level saying that to advertisers and saying,

135
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,920
oh, no, no, no, no, wait, please don't go.

136
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,080
What can I do?

137
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,200
He said, I'll go fuck.

138
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Go fuck yourself if you don't want to advertise on my platform.

139
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,920
That's power.

140
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,000
How many of you can say that to people in your life?

141
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,000
You know what?

142
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
I don't care if you like what I'm doing.

143
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
You can go fuck yourself.

144
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,280
How many people can say that?

145
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,280
That's power.

146
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Now, I'm not saying you need to go out of your way and insult people.

147
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:21,480
What I'm saying is have the guts to stand up for yourself and not be a quizzling, weak

148
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920
piece of garbage.

149
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,440
Don't be weak.

150
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,040
I'm guilty of this sometimes, too.

151
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,200
Last night, I was talking to my mother because I'm not used to hanging around my parents

152
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,200
that much anymore.

153
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,600
I was spending the holiday with the parents.

154
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,800
I'm talking to my mom about my book because she's reading my book.

155
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:40,800
She's talking about it.

156
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,200
She's wanting me to, you know, she's giving me feedback.

157
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:51,040
But I found myself trying to explain and justify why I wrote biblical bachelor, why my lifestyle

158
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:58,040
is the way that it is, why I'm more spiritual and why my philosophy is not the ordinary

159
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,040
one.

160
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,400
And I said, wait a minute, what the hell am I doing?

161
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,400
Why am I justifying it as if I'm on trial and I'm having to cross examine?

162
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,400
What am I doing, bro?

163
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,400
This is ridiculous.

164
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:15,640
But I found myself slipping into that defensive stance, which is not normal for me anymore.

165
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,640
It used to be not anymore.

166
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,880
But a whole other thing that I've realized that I was realizing in my walk last night

167
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:30,040
that ties into this building your life back better is, you know, when I'm when I'm at

168
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,640
school and when I'm doing my own thing away from everybody else, I'm not used to being

169
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:42,400
called certain certain names or being referred to by nicknames and stuff like that.

170
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,400
Right.

171
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,920
So when I hear my nicknames that are like maybe like babyish, cutesy, whatever, it made

172
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,240
me realize I don't identify with that anymore.

173
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,320
I don't identify as that anymore.

174
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,800
I don't feel like I kind of understood what the transgenders are.

175
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,560
One not talk about to an extent.

176
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:07,640
Now, that doesn't mean I agree with forcing society to agree with you.

177
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,560
But don't let other people put labels on you.

178
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:14,240
Don't let someone else say, oh, you're this.

179
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,600
What the hell are you to tell me what I am?

180
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,960
Who do you think you are?

181
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:26,200
Who do you think you are to tell me who I am, what I should do, who I who do you think

182
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,200
you are?

183
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,960
Just because you want to tell me who I should be and what I am does not make it true, does

184
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,640
not mean that it's any anything.

185
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,160
It's garbage.

186
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,440
It only means something if I accept it.

187
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,360
Otherwise, it doesn't mean Jack.

188
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,960
How many of you have that philosophy in your own life?

189
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:52,040
How many of you let people call you names and then you're like, oh, dang, maybe I am

190
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,320
that maybe I am low like that.

191
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,640
No, you're not.

192
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Don't let them do that to you.

193
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,000
It's only if you accept it that it gives it validity.

194
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,880
Now, you may be thinking, Austin, you sound really excited right now.

195
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,360
You sound really exhilarated right now.

196
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,800
Yeah, I am.

197
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,640
Because this is something I'm passionate about.

198
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:19,940
I understand the tragedy, tragedy and pain and suffering is supposed to make you stronger.

199
00:11:19,940 --> 00:11:25,120
So why the hell are you out here trying to justify a way throwing away an opportunity

200
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,640
to become the best part, the best version of yourself?

201
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,920
A caterpillar has to go into chrysalis and change its anatomy structure to become a butterfly.

202
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,640
And yet so many people don't want to make that change.

203
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,520
They don't want to make that alternative lifestyle happen because they're scared of what other

204
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040
people are going to say, what people are going to do.

205
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,480
They're afraid of the outside influences of others.

206
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,840
Fuck all that bullshit.

207
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,020
I don't care about what anybody says.

208
00:11:54,020 --> 00:11:56,680
You need to go out there and do what's right for you.

209
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:00,800
Now, I'm not saying go out there and hurt people for no reason or break the law.

210
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:07,720
What I'm saying is you need to decide what you want and be like a what is that like a

211
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,040
pit bull and not let go.

212
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,480
You know, clamp on your jaw on that and not let it go away.

213
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,960
You cannot let it go.

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,680
Because if you do, that's on you, not on them.

215
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:21,080
You go broke.

216
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,320
I can go broke tomorrow, but I'll build it all back.

217
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,320
Why?

218
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,880
Because I refuse to do anything different.

219
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,440
I know I can do it.

220
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,800
What do you think about yourself?

221
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,120
Can you say that?

222
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,160
Have you used your tragedy, your pain, your suffering to reforge yourself or have you

223
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,480
not burned away all the weakness?

224
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,440
It was Frederick Nietzsche who said that suffering, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

225
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,960
Your suffering is supposed to make you more resilient.

226
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,080
But yet so many people cave into the pressure.

227
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,540
They cave into the pain.

228
00:12:56,540 --> 00:13:02,800
They allow the pain to dictate themselves and they see themselves as a victim.

229
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:09,080
Instead of seeing themselves as I vanquish my pain and I reforged it into my future and

230
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:18,200
I'm allowing myself to become a better person with a reformed, better life that I have built

231
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,000
back better than it was before.

232
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,080
So that's my question to you.

233
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Are you willing to do that for yourself or are you going to be a normie or are you going

234
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,300
to be unhappy?

235
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:34,560
Are you going to allow other people to dictate to you who you will become?

236
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:38,000
I hope that the answer is no.

237
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,360
I hope that you have the guts to stand up for yourself and not allow them to roll over

238
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:49,800
on you and to tell yourself that you're not deserving of the future that you want for

239
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,800
yourself.

240
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:56,240
If you can envision it, if you could picture it in your mind, you can have it.

241
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:02,880
That doesn't mean it will be easy, but that means that you can have it.

242
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,320
The only one stopping you from doing that is you.

243
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,960
That doesn't mean that things on outside influences won't hurt you, but they cannot destroy you

244
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,880
without your permission.

245
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,880
So my friends, are you going to build your life back better, whether it's decent now

246
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,560
or horrible, or are you going to play the victim for the rest of your life?

247
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,280
The entire choice is now yours.

248
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,560
You have no excuse.

249
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,560
Decide what your fate will be.

250
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,600
My friends, I hope this motivated you today.

251
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:44,120
I really, really hope that this encourages you to get off your behind, stop feeling sorry

252
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,440
for yourself and becomes better.

253
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:52,200
I sincerely hope that my friends, if you like what you heard and you want to hear more of

254
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:58,320
it, then follow the show because I will give it to you raw.

255
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,100
I will give it to you as uncut as I possibly can.

256
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:05,320
My friends, God bless you.

257
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,800
God bless your families and God bless America.

258
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,800
I'm out of here.

259
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,800
Have a great day.

260
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:15,800
