1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sheep get cheered podcast. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,440 I'm your host Austin cream. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,720 My friends, you know, I know I've been getting back into doing the video appearances again, 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,560 but I've been out and about pretty much all day today. 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,960 And I don't want to go a whole day without producing a show for y'all because I love 6 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:19,960 doing this. 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:20,960 I love talking with you. 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,640 I love expressing ideas in the community. 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:30,680 Well, one thing I really wanted to discuss with you guys was the idea of not of risk. 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,120 I'm actually going through a change in my life right now. 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,800 I'll go into more detail as time goes on. 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:45,560 But I'm going, I'm probably going to not moving again and about a month or so. 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,320 And I'm going to be starting a new job. 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,960 I'm going to be doing things differently. 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,480 And it all stems back to the idea of no risk, no reward. 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,720 It's very easy for us to want to play life safe. 17 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,440 It's very easy for us to take risks that aren't rational. 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:09,160 It's very easy for us to get caught up in the idea of wanting security. 19 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:15,640 You know, it's very funny to me how we're taught to do the exact opposite of what works 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,080 in life. 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,040 We're taught by people, oh, just get married or, hey, you shouldn't invest in women. 22 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,160 When a lot of times we invest in women only to have that be thrown back in our faces later 23 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,920 and we don't get the return that we were promised or the return we expected. 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,200 And a lot of us, we won't take ourselves out to a nice, fancy dinner. 25 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,480 Well, we'll take a woman out to a nice, fancy dinner. 26 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,720 We won't invest in ourselves. 27 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,560 We won't take a risk on ourselves. 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,720 We won't take a risk on a new career. 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,360 We'll take a risk on a woman any day of the week because we want to. 30 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,560 We want to risk. 31 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,960 We want to find any semblance of love, even if we know it's fate, even if we know we 32 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,600 can't find it or we're not likely to find it, because let's face it, we're not. 33 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,720 I'm going to cut through it. 34 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,360 I'm not going to tell you, gentlemen, hey, just look at the right places. 35 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,480 Find the one that's all bullshit. 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,760 All lies meant to manipulate and exploit you. 37 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:22,640 We as men, we need to take risks, especially when we're in our 20s, our 30s, even if you've 38 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:26,640 gone through a divorce and you're trying to reinvent yourself. 39 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:28,280 This is your chance to take risk. 40 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:34,640 This is your chance to get back, not only to better yourself, but to prove that success 41 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,600 is the ultimate form of revenge. 42 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,240 Because let's face it, gentlemen, we as men, we're not taught to have self-esteem. 43 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,200 No, we're taught that we need to make the woman feel secure. 44 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,160 We're taught that we need to make the people around us as lives easier, not ours. 45 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,800 The idea of notion of being a good man has nothing to do with helping yourself and everything 46 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,480 to do with helping others. 47 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:06,360 Yesterday, we talked about how the adult toy industry is a whole another way for men to 48 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:13,800 be compared to technology, not only to other men, but to technology. 49 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,840 And then we wonder why men are measuring up and men's self-esteem is in the toilet. 50 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,680 The male self-deletion rate is through the roof. 51 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,200 We wonder why these things happen. 52 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:29,800 It's because there are not enough men who are mentors who are telling other men who 53 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:36,200 are young and old alike, who are going through phases because life is nothing but phases. 54 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,080 We're going through phases of development or even redevelopment, renovation and their 55 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,880 men life, quarter life, third quarter life crisis. 56 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:55,960 My friends, I don't try to downplay the down the painful decisions and painful existences 57 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,000 that most of us men have made no mistake about it. 58 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,680 I know you don't want to see yourself as a victim and I'm not telling you to become 59 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,840 a participant in the victim Olympics. 60 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,480 No, not by any means, but don't ever try to downplay how hard your life is. 61 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,560 How much you have to struggle to get the things you want, even the bare minimum in this life. 62 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,520 Never let anybody try to tell you that you have life on easy mode. 63 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,960 You have male privilege. 64 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,960 You have all these things. 65 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,800 It is a lie from the pits of hell. 66 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,880 Don't believe these demons who tell you these things. 67 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:34,720 They are liars and they want nothing more than to become leeches and take from you. 68 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,120 To benefit off of your hard work. 69 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,320 Don't let them do it to you. 70 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,360 My friends, fearing the unknown is something that I suffer from a lot. 71 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,320 I'll be honest with you guys. 72 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,400 I suffer from the fear of the unknown and being anxious about what's to come when I 73 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,400 can't control. 74 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:58,360 And it's because that type of struggle is something that I suffer from that I have a 75 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,320 large amount of sympathy for men who struggle with that and with other struggles that I 76 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,520 myself am not completely in tune with. 77 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,920 But my friends, you want to know how I overcome the fear of the unknown? 78 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:18,600 You want to know how I overcome uncertainty and how I cut through the bullshit and how 79 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,800 we can focus on the risk and the reward and realizing that there's so much out here, 80 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,440 whether it's women, whether it's wealth, whether it's mattering your health, there's 81 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,880 so much out here to be had. 82 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:36,960 And it is your life and it is your opportunity to take life by the Gahodes and to take it. 83 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,560 I'm not just trying to sound inspirational. 84 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,640 Anybody can sound inspirational, but not everybody can give you an incentive. 85 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,880 Because this is the only life you're going to have as far as I know, anyway. 86 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,760 So why would you want to compete with technology and with other men to try to appease people 87 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,680 who are insatiable? 88 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,080 Women are like black holes. 89 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,160 They suck in all the light. 90 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,560 They're insatiable creatures. 91 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:10,000 I preach surrogacy in my book, biblical bachelor, which is out both audio book and hard copy. 92 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,520 I talk about it because that is what I plan to do and that is what I'm going to do. 93 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,880 Not because women are evil, but because I'm not I'm not going to deal with the bullshit. 94 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,040 I'm cutting it all out. 95 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,280 I'm using money to avoid the BS. 96 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:31,000 I'm not letting other people get one over on me to make other people happy whom I don't 97 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,600 care about or whose opinions are fleeting. 98 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,880 I'm sick of living my life for other people, gentlemen. 99 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,720 To me, that's not a risk worth the reward. 100 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,480 A risk worth the reward is me investing in myself, investing in my ventures, investing 101 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,600 in this community. 102 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,280 To me, that's what's valuable. 103 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,000 So that's where I'm putting my time. 104 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,880 What's valuable to you and your life that you've made me put on the back burner because 105 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,080 other people told you not to care about it. 106 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,880 You put it on the back burner because people didn't you had to put other people first, 107 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,040 whether it be kids, a spouse, a girlfriend, an ailing parent. 108 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,040 Let me know. 109 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,400 Let guys in the comments know how did you get through it? 110 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:18,240 What were some strategies you had because my friends, this is a life that is a marathon 111 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,440 and so many of us, we live our life in reverse. 112 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,800 We we try to do everything for everybody else, only for them to not care about it, only for 113 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,480 them to take it for granted, only for them to not appreciate it the way it's meant to 114 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,880 be appreciated. 115 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,360 And then we look back and we're thinking to ourselves, damn, I could have taken this 116 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,040 risk and it could have paid off. 117 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,320 I could have made this investment and it could have paid off. 118 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,880 I could have done this differently and this kind of turned out like this. 119 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,040 I don't want you to be in that position. 120 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,480 I want you to take all those risks because even if you fail, you learn something not 121 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,160 trying is the worst thing you can do. 122 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,480 And I've been in that situation. 123 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,640 Let me tell you something right now. 124 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:03,560 I have been in that position where I was paralyzed by fear, paralyzed by the the unknown and 125 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,800 I let it ruin me. 126 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,200 I let it set me back. 127 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,960 I let it get in my way. 128 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,400 I was my own worst enemy. 129 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,600 My friends, do not ever let that be you. 130 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,960 If that is you right now, there are ways to stop it. 131 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,360 Number one way to stop it is to tell yourself that you can do it. 132 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,120 Might not be the first try. 133 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,120 Might not be the second try, but you can and will do it if you refuse to give up. 134 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,080 And the words of Babe Ruth, one of my favorite baseball players. 135 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,520 I'm not a big sports guy, but Babe Ruth is one of my was one of my heroes when I was 136 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,960 a little kid and I first learned about him. 137 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:47,680 One of my favorite quotes from him is it's hard to beat the guy who doesn't give up. 138 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,040 So don't give up on your dreams. 139 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,040 Don't let people be dream killers and take your dreams away from you. 140 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,160 No, a woman tell you that you can't do something or you should do this or you ought to do that. 141 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,000 No, my friends. 142 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Do not make it a word. 143 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,120 Do not make it a parent, a div in your life to be a quote, good man. 144 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,920 That is how you get exploited and used. 145 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:17,040 And it's time for you to stand up for yourself. 146 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,440 It's all about taking the risks that will lead to reward and risk doesn't just mean 147 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,520 going to the casino and it doesn't mean asking out any girl to stream, try to spend, you 148 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,520 know, run game. 149 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,520 Yeah, it's a waste of time. 150 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,680 You need to be out here being willing to take risks that can pan off in big ways, but they're 151 00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:41,080 going to take years of hard work to get through living for fulfillment, not just excitement. 152 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,120 Not taking what you can get because it's available, but striving for what you want because it's 153 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,720 worth chasing because it's your dreams won't chase you back. 154 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,520 That's what you got to focus on. 155 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,520 Focus on the long term. 156 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,520 Take the risks that will lead you to win down the road, not just ones that will help you 157 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,280 win now. 158 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:07,400 Focus on the next 20 years, not the next two days, two months, two years. 159 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,160 I'm not just trying to sound appreciate you guys. 160 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,760 I'm really not. 161 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,960 I'm just trying to get it across because this is what I can tell somebody needed to hear 162 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,960 this today. 163 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,320 Somebody's having a bad time going through hell. 164 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,520 They feel like they're alone and they need to be here today. 165 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,520 I can feel it in my soul. 166 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:30,200 Somebody who loves this show, they needed to hear this message today that they need to 167 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,560 take that lead, take that chance, take that opportunity that's right in front of them 168 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:37,720 that they're afraid to take. 169 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,720 I know you're out there. 170 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,800 Like, and I can tell it in my soul that you need to hear this. 171 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,800 Well, here's your here's your nudge. 172 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,120 You can do it. 173 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,280 The fact that you've even considered it, as soon as you write it down, as soon as you've 174 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,840 taken the step, you're already halfway there. 175 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,040 You can do it. 176 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Let me know if you're that one person that I felt needed to hear this today because I'm 177 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,280 because of you are. 178 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,280 You're out there. 179 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,920 Let me know. 180 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,120 Let me know I'm not out of touch. 181 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:17,280 My friends, please let other guys in the comments know how the risks you've taken, how they've 182 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,600 planned out, how you got around and dealt with failure, how you turned your failure into 183 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,280 a success because younger guys or guys who are reinfecting themselves, they need to hear 184 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,280 this. 185 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,080 This is how we continue. 186 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,200 This is how we do not allow other people to put us in a box, let ourselves put ourselves 187 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,040 in a gene bottle for someone else to rub so we grant our wishes. 188 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,880 This is what we must avoid. 189 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,080 And this is what I want you to take away from the show today. 190 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:51,360 No risk, no reward, no investment in yourself, no payout. 191 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,120 My friends, in the meantime, I encourage you to think for yourself. 192 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Let me know in the comments what you thought. 193 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,840 Give me ideas or what you want to hear more about because at the end of the day, I'm always 194 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,320 open to new ideas researching new things. 195 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,520 And if you're that one person that I don't need to hear this today, let me know who you 196 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,720 are. 197 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,520 I want to be there for you. 198 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,840 Take care of yourselves, I'm out of here. 199 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:41,680 Peace.
