00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,120
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheered podcast.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,480
I'm your host Austin Creed and my friends.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,000
You know, it's, it sounds probably going to sound a little bit different because I can't

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,720
find my normal travel setup.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,760
My morning's been rough, had a deal fall through.

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,360
You know, I've had these rough days where you just feel like nothing's going right and

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,680
you've been up for two hours and you feel like nothing's going right.

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,840
You know, you can't, you just can't win.

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,720
At least that's what you think in your mind.

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,440
You just feel like you can't win.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,800
You feel like the harder you work, the poorer you get, the harder you work, the less things

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,800
pay off.

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,640
You ever felt like this?

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,720
If you have, you're not alone.

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,800
I've been feeling it for the past couple of weeks, the last couple of months even.

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,880
And you're not alone.

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,000
In fact, you're in very good company and we need to grind, gentlemen, especially if you're

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,760
a younger guy.

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,200
You need to grind.

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,160
You can't sit back and just wait for opportunities to come to you.

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,680
It's not going to happen.

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,840
It's not going to happen because if it's something that's worthwhile and worth having, then it's

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,600
going to be something that other people also want.

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,600
And that's the way it goes, man, because if otherwise it would just be there waiting for

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,160
you.

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Opportunities are lifetime.

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,760
They don't fall in your lap.

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,760
You got to go out there.

29
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,840
You got to chase it.

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,080
You got to warn it.

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,080
You got to go out there.

32
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,080
You got to get it.

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,960
I'll be totally honest with you guys.

34
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,000
The last couple of months have been the hardest months I've had since the military.

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Easily, easily.

36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,720
You know why?

37
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,760
Because in the military, I had structure.

38
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,920
I had balance.

39
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,760
And here it's the opposite.

40
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,320
I'm out here grinding every single day trying to talk to homeowners, trying to get out here

41
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:51,960
and get on roofs, get in front of people, have conversations, get to know people, get

42
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,800
to make those connections.

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,400
It's hard, man, because there's 10,000 other people trying to do the same thing I'm doing.

44
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,960
And they have more experience than me.

45
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,360
Maybe they have more charisma than me.

46
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,840
They have all these things, but I could use that as an excuse to work less or I could

47
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,480
use it as an excuse to work harder.

48
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,320
And that's what I'm going to do every single day.

49
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,800
You know, one thing that has been sticking with me is I look at these people who are

50
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,920
millionaires and millionaires at the top of the pyramid right now in America.

51
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:26,360
I look at them and I think to myself, what do they have that I don't have?

52
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Y'all ever ask this question?

53
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,320
What do they have that I don't have?

54
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:38,080
And the answer is really not that hard, but what's hard is to accept it.

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,480
It's not hard to find the answer.

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,800
It's hard to accept the answer.

57
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,720
And the answer is they just executed the idea and made me a little bit better.

58
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:55,240
You got a little bit of luck in there and luck is just preparation, meaning opportunity.

59
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,200
My friends, I want to encourage you that if you're down right now, whether it's business,

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,280
whether it's romance, whether it's anything, you're not alone.

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,200
In fact, I've been on the front lines of this for the past couple months, arguably since

62
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,200
2020.

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,120
I'm out on the front lines of this, trying to figure out who I am, how I'm going to achieve

64
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,560
the dreams I've set for myself, and it's really easy to be motivated when times are

65
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,040
good, when the money's coming in, when the girls are noticing that you're bossing up.

66
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,000
It's real easy to do it then.

67
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,880
It's not so easy when you wake up to a phone call from your boss asking you about a job

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,480
that you didn't necessarily put in just yet because you're waiting for confirmation and

69
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,840
then they get mad at you, even though you didn't tell them to do anything, but you're

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,440
taking the blame.

71
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,200
You're taking the blame for something that really wasn't your fault, but you're doing

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,200
it in any way.

73
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,200
Why?

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,800
Because you just want the problem to be over with and you want to move on.

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,520
You talk with a homeowner and they say, oh yeah, I want this done, I want this done tomorrow

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,480
and you call them, hey, I'm ready to do it, let's get this done and they're like, oh,

77
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,080
actually, no, no, I changed my mind, I don't want to do it.

78
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,160
This is life, guys, for me.

79
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,400
Now, you could say here and say, Austin, maybe you're just not a good salesman and maybe

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,400
you're right.

81
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Maybe I'm not.

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,240
At least not yet.

83
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,200
I'm going to change that though.

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,360
I'm going to change that.

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,960
I'm not going to say here and be like, oh, it's not fair.

86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,400
I'm not good enough.

87
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,080
No, I'm not going to do that.

88
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,320
No, I'm going to say, OK, well, maybe I could have done this better.

89
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,640
Maybe I could have adjusted my pitch.

90
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,680
Maybe I could have talked about this a little bit more.

91
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Maybe I could have just connected with the meta.

92
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,160
Maybe I just didn't do something right and I'm going to fix that.

93
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,760
Why? Because I refuse to quit.

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,640
And when you refuse to quit, you have two options.

95
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,600
One is die or two is improve.

96
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,760
I don't like to quit.

97
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,880
When I was younger, I used to quit things.

98
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,080
I quit sports.

99
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,520
I quit working out.

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,840
I quit doing these things because I wasn't seeing the results I wanted.

101
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,600
And you know what I realized?

102
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,240
That that was the stupidest thing I could have done was quit.

103
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,120
This isn't a card game.

104
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,600
And if it is, well, I'm doubling down.

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,160
I'm going all in because I refuse to give up.

106
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,320
I refuse to fold.

107
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,880
I rather walk out of the casino broke than give up.

108
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,640
That's how I work.

109
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,320
And my friends, if you're out here trying to grind, trying to create an idea, trying

110
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,840
to be out here doing something with your life, that's great.

111
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:37,360
I applaud you for asserting yourself and putting yourself out there.

112
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,840
Most people are content to sit back and work for somebody else.

113
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,240
And there's no shame in it.

114
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:50,640
But there's not the same level of respect as somebody who's out there risking everything

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,400
to get what they want.

116
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,960
And that's me.

117
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,360
I got no safety net.

118
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,480
I got no safety net.

119
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:04,000
And I'm working in sales like I know safety net.

120
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,480
I'm not sitting here trying to get you to be sympathetic to me.

121
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:07,960
Oh, not at all.

122
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,600
I want you to understand that when you're down, when you're having a hard time, my friend,

123
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,200
I am with you.

124
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,600
We are in the fight together to get this life that we both want.

125
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,480
This is the hardest thing you'll do in your life is to build yourself.

126
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,560
Then I'll talk about this part in the millionaires and the billionaire seminars, or I'll talk

127
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,760
about it for 30 seconds talking about, oh, you know, I went through some hard times.

128
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,840
Well, go into depth about those hard times.

129
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:36,640
What were those hard times like?

130
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,640
What did you do?

131
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,640
How did you get through it?

132
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,280
What were your emotions like when you were in there and how did you use those negative

133
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:46,360
emotions to produce those positive results that you're now enjoying?

134
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,360
How did you do it?

135
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,280
But see, that's the game.

136
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:54,920
That's the glue that will bring your past and the present into the future.

137
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:01,560
And that, my friends, is what I'm dealing with today.

138
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,360
You know, it's really easy to talk about the realities of life when it comes to women,

139
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,960
when it comes to religion, but let's talk about the realities of life when it comes to the

140
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:17,920
hard, grueling, uncomfortable, unenjoyable push every day to push yourself outside your

141
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,080
comfort zone.

142
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,720
Do things you don't like.

143
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,680
Do things that make you uncomfortable.

144
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,200
Do things that you've never done before.

145
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,600
You don't know what you're doing.

146
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,120
You just know you want to do it well.

147
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,160
You haven't done things before, but you're trying to convince people that you know what

148
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,480
you're doing and that you have a good team behind you and you're trying to do everything

149
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,240
in your power.

150
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,120
It's like we're dealing with chicks, right?

151
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,680
When you're in high school, middle school, college, you don't know how to experience

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,680
with chicks.

153
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,080
You don't know how to talk to women.

154
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,840
You don't know how, you don't know what they like.

155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,000
You don't know how to get, you know, intimacy from them.

156
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,440
You don't know how to do these things, right?

157
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,080
You don't know how to learn game.

158
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Like those game guys back in like 2010 eras who used to talk about, you got to say this

159
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,280
and you got to do it like that and you got to have this facial expression.

160
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,040
You got to have this tone of voice, like that type of garbage, right?

161
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,480
It's the same thing when it comes to business.

162
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,600
You got to know what you don't know and you have to realize that there's a learning curve

163
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,520
and then when the learning curve is present, you have to stick it out through the hard

164
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,320
times.

165
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,080
You have to say, you know what?

166
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,240
This is going to be hard.

167
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,160
I'm going to hate this sometimes, but I'm not going to give up.

168
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,280
I have that firewall in place.

169
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,360
I'm never giving up.

170
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,640
I refuse to give up.

171
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,800
I refuse to give in.

172
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,120
I refuse to do anything, but keep going.

173
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,320
I don't care if I get the deal or don't get the deal.

174
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,760
I'm going.

175
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:53,160
I'm keeping, I'm keeping the fire burden to keep this engine moving and the story.

176
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,840
And when you have that mentality, it will change the way you look at things.

177
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,680
Of course you'll have the ups and downs.

178
00:08:58,680 --> 00:08:59,880
I have a down right now.

179
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,720
It's nine o'clock in the morning.

180
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,000
It's nine AM.

181
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,200
I've already had a rejection this morning and my boss came out at me.

182
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,200
Guess what?

183
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,920
I'm still going in.

184
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,840
I'm still doing paperwork.

185
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,080
I'm still formulating the strategy.

186
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,920
I'm not going to sit in my bed and cry like a little bitch.

187
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,760
I'm going to get up and I'm going to get going.

188
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,640
You got to be able to use the negative and transmute it to the positive.

189
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,760
Transmutation comes from the art of alchemy.

190
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:37,160
If you all want to come on a side road of European mysticism, that's where the idea

191
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,960
of transmutation comes from.

192
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,120
Comes from the philosopher stone and alchemy.

193
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,280
Alchemists were trying to create gold from less precious metals, you know, like lead,

194
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,000
copper, stuff like iron, stuff like that.

195
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,360
They were trying to change it into gold.

196
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,240
They were doing everything that they could to change less precious metals into more

197
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,120
precious ones.

198
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,920
And they, according to legend, they figured out how to do it.

199
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,480
But if you read the accounts, people will say that they didn't, they weren't able to

200
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,480
do it.

201
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,840
So it's more up to the person who's reading the story and learning about it to decide

202
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:18,320
whether or not they actually achieved what they set out to achieve.

203
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,560
But the lingo remains the same with the meaning that it possesses.

204
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:24,840
We want to take habits.

205
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,080
We want to take many reasons.

206
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,960
We want to take things that are less valuable in our lives and turn them into more valuable

207
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:37,920
opportunities, more valuable options, more valuable places and people to interact with.

208
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,080
That's what we want.

209
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,400
And that's what we work towards.

210
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,920
As far as you can hear the truck next to me, I'm driving and trying to record this.

211
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,840
Trying to multitask.

212
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,280
I just, I could tell that I needed to do this, the show today and so many else needing to

213
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,880
hear this show today.

214
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,320
It's real easy for people to go on social media and talk about, oh, look at me.

215
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,920
I bought my first Lambo.

216
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,920
Oh, look at me.

217
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,440
I bought my first BMW.

218
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,760
Oh, look at me.

219
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,440
I got my hellcat.

220
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,800
It's real easy for them to go on there and talk about that.

221
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,440
It's not easy to do what I'm doing right now.

222
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,800
Talking about how my money going down because I'm spending all of it trying to invest in

223
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,160
this business venture and I feel like I'm not seeing the return I want to see customers

224
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,440
canceling on me, all this stuff and it's tough, man.

225
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,960
This is what people want you to not see.

226
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,720
They want you to pretend like, oh, I've always been winning.

227
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,640
I ain't never lost a day in my life.

228
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,640
No, man.

229
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,400
No, I'll be real.

230
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,040
It feels like I'm losing right now, but I know I'm not.

231
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,040
It just feels like it.

232
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,600
This is the growing pains of life.

233
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,440
When I was younger, I'm a pretty tall guy.

234
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,320
For those of you who never met me in person, I'm a pretty tall guy.

235
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,160
I'm about six and a half feet tall.

236
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,960
And so when I was younger, I had growing pains and I had to take a little bit of pain medication

237
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800
because it was so painful for me when I was a kid.

238
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,600
Without those growing pains, I would have remained short my whole life in the same way

239
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,840
that you need growing pains in your professional life.

240
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,120
You're going to have times where it's hurting.

241
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,040
You feel like the harder you work, the less you get.

242
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,760
The more you sacrifice, the fewer things you get, you're going to feel like that, but that's

243
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,840
not actually what's happening.

244
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,280
It's just not showing up the way you envision.

245
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:27,040
It's not producing the results in the way you'd anticipated those results coming in.

246
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,280
That is what's happening.

247
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:35,040
And I want to encourage you to keep up the fight, to keep sacrificing, to double down

248
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,040
and not fold.

249
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,040
Always adjust.

250
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,360
Don't always do the same thing over and over and over again.

251
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,120
Don't do that, but make sure that you're focused or dialed in.

252
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:53,440
You're not giving up because giving up is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

253
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,560
Don't give up.

254
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,360
Adjust your approach.

255
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,960
Change the way you think about things.

256
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,480
That will give you the results that you want.

257
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,280
And if you think I'm lying, I'll get back to me in a couple of years when I'm really

258
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,120
starting to end my stride.

259
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,000
This past couple of months in this new business venture have been very hard.

260
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,600
Very disheartening, frankly.

261
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Absolutely difficult.

262
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,760
Now I try to hide it for people.

263
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,960
I'm not hiding anymore.

264
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,480
How hard it is.

265
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,800
How much rejection I have faced on a daily basis.

266
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,320
You know how hard this is?

267
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,120
It's hard, man.

268
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,120
Guess what?

269
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,320
Nobody is going to save me.

270
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,840
Nobody's having any sympathy for me.

271
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,840
And I don't care.

272
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,840
I'm going to keep pushing.

273
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,840
I'm going to keep grinding.

274
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,080
What's your excuse to not focus on your dreams?

275
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,400
Not go out there and earn what you set in your head that you want, that you are willing

276
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,760
to sacrifice for?

277
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,520
What's stopping you?

278
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,080
Answer.

279
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,080
You.

280
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:59,920
My friends, please be willing to share your story and how you, if you're older, how you

281
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:04,200
made it, and if you're younger and you're still going through it, I'd love to hear about

282
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,200
your story.

283
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,400
How you're making it through.

284
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,600
How you are making the hard times worth it.

285
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,000
How you're making it through the really hard times.

286
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,800
Watching other people succeed.

287
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,560
Watching other people do what you want to do, and you ask them for help, and they tell

288
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,440
you to go fuck yourself because they don't want to help you, or they try to help you,

289
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,480
and they're not, and maybe you think that you're not doing it right because you're not,

290
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,680
they're not seeing the results that they're seeing.

291
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:36,120
There's so many levels to this.

292
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:42,120
My friends, I want you to know, I don't care if you're doing contracting like me, or if

293
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,800
you're doing something completely different, t-shirts, social media, I don't care what

294
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,600
you're doing.

295
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,320
Just know you're not alone, man.

296
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,480
I'm out here trying to grind just like you, trying to build a life for myself just like

297
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,480
you.

298
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,480
You're not alone.

299
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:05,360
Trying to build a podcast just guys, I'm telling you, man, it's tough.

300
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,880
It's really, really hard feeling like you're putting a lot of work, a lot of effort, your

301
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,160
heart and your soul into your work, and no one appreciates it.

302
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,160
Guess what?

303
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,880
That's part of the game.

304
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,960
It's all part of the game.

305
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,080
All part of it.

306
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,840
My friends, please feel free to share how you've made it through, how you've managed

307
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,960
to encounter adversity and turn it adversity into an ally instead of something that you're

308
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,760
avoiding.

309
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,760
Take care of yourselves.

310
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,160
I look forward to hearing more, and don't worry, this conversation is far from over.

311
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,160
I'm out of here.

312
00:15:43,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Peace.
