00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,600
Hey guys, in part 2 of the series, Why Are You Here, we delve deep into our personal

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,580
journeys towards understanding our life's purpose.

3
00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:21,680
Through candid conversations, Sean and I explore how our purpose evolves over time and the

4
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,560
significance of embracing change.

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:31,000
Join us as we share insights on finding purpose within ourselves, the role of influences in

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,720
shaping our paths, and navigating through challenging times to emerge stronger.

7
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:44,120
From discovering interests to pursuing unrealistic goals, we uncover the essence of purposeful

8
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,120
living.

9
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,200
Tune in to gain valuable insights and embark on your journey of self-discovery.

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:56,640
Alright guys, see you in there, take some notes.

11
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,120
Hey guys, welcome to this episode of Technically Short, I'm Thomas.

12
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,040
And I'm Sean.

13
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,600
And if you don't already know, we're in a series called Why Are You Here?

14
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,200
And this is part 2.

15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,440
So uh, yeah, today Sean and I are, we're just gonna have a conversation with each other.

16
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Last episode we talked with Kendall and we mentioned, I mentioned about holding back

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,160
the film and the things I was gonna say, because we can talk about that whenever we just do

18
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,160
it by ourselves.

19
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,160
I thought it was good.

20
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Yeah, because like, you know, it's time and place for everything.

21
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:40,600
But the, honestly, yeah, so Sean and I are gonna be talking about our own particular

22
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:49,360
purposes, how we discovered our purpose and the goal of this episode is really to help

23
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,400
you understand and maybe even start thinking about, like, get the juices flowing.

24
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,440
What is your purpose?

25
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Yeah, what your purpose is, what your purpose is if you don't know.

26
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,520
And we're gonna get into the meat of that, but Sean, I think you have some questions

27
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,520
for me.

28
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,520
I do.

29
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,160
So, Thomas, why are you here?

30
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,080
Ah, the name of the episode.

31
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Why am I here?

32
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:23,680
Well, so I think answering the question, like, why, like, what is your purpose, stuff like

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,920
that, like, that answer as your life goes on will change because you're, like, you're

34
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:31,400
going to discover new things about yourself.

35
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,720
You're gonna, like, your understanding is gonna grow.

36
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,440
And right now, currently, I believe my purpose is to guide others to be the best version

37
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,240
of themselves as I continue to do the same for myself.

38
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Ooh, that is good.

39
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,440
I do my best to live by the philosophy of leaving myself first.

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,600
So like, I'm continuously focused on growth.

41
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Like I said, last year was a year of exponential growth.

42
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,360
I'm saying the same over this year.

43
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,200
And I honestly don't think it's ever going to stop.

44
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:12,800
Because if I want to guide others in any capacity to be better version, be better versions or

45
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,760
even, I shouldn't even say better, I should say the best versions of themselves, like,

46
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,920
I need to be the best version of myself.

47
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:20,920
That's so good.

48
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:25,400
And so like, I don't know, man, like, I have to look at my notes.

49
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,400
But I was about to say, I have another question for you, if that's okay.

50
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,160
How would you define purpose for somebody who doesn't know what purpose is even?

51
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,400
I would define purpose.

52
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,520
Your purpose is, I have it right here, your purpose is the why.

53
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,960
It's the why behind, like, the why you are here.

54
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:53,880
It's the why behind, like, I can't get that, wasn't really a definition, but like, it's

55
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,160
your why.

56
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,620
That's how I would define it.

57
00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:57,620
It's your why.

58
00:03:57,620 --> 00:03:59,720
Like, why do you do anything?

59
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,520
Why, like, why do you wake up in the morning?

60
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Why do you go to bed at night?

61
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,120
Why do you, why do you go to church if you go to church?

62
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,360
Why do you, why do you have the friends that you have?

63
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,720
All of that should lead into you.

64
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,560
All that should be feeding into your purpose.

65
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Or it should be a result.

66
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,520
Oh, no, it should be a result of your purpose.

67
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,120
That's just, yeah, I wanted to flip that.

68
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,120
It should be a result.

69
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,800
No, I really, I enjoyed that.

70
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:23,800
That's deep.

71
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,040
I've never thought about, like, our friends being the reason for your purpose.

72
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,480
You know, I mean, or your purpose being the reason for your friends.

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,520
Well, like, yeah, because like, we are, like, we've said it multiple times, like, about

74
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,800
the inner circle and how you are your five, you are the average of your five closest friends,

75
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,800
right?

76
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,840
And so, like, you, so if you're the average of your five closest friends, that's why I

77
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,880
said, like, your purpose can change.

78
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,400
And like, I feel like there's, it changes through self-discovery.

79
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,040
I think we've talked about before, as Christians, we believe we all have one giant, one purpose

80
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,040
of the Great Commission.

81
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Yeah, but then we do have those unique purposes to ourselves.

82
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:01,960
Right.

83
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:08,720
And that purpose, I believe, at least, changes with the trajectory that our life is going.

84
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,520
And that, and in turn, and in part, that is determined by the people you have closest

85
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,520
to you.

86
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,600
That is a very interesting take, and that actually makes a lot of sense.

87
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,960
So second question, I would say, where do you find purpose?

88
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,240
Where do you find purpose?

89
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,080
You find purpose, honestly, it's going to sound corny and cheesy, but you find purpose

90
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,080
within yourself.

91
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,360
Like, that's the only, like, you don't really find it, like, Kendall mentioned it last episode,

92
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,360
you don't find it in the book.

93
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Books are great for understanding, for getting new tools, understanding new philosophies,

94
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,640
and great for learning new, for me, like, learning new disciplines and, like, understanding

95
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,760
atomic habits really helped me out.

96
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:05,400
It was being able to, like, formulate a way and, like, to better pursue, we're going

97
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,720
to get into, I want to get into this a little bit later on, but to more effectively pursue

98
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,160
the calling, I believe, that's on my life, and habits can help you do that.

99
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,720
But they don't help you discover why you're doing it.

100
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,520
So saying where do you discover purpose, there's no particular, I don't think there's any

101
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,920
one answer, there's not an answer, there's not one answer to that, besides within yourself

102
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:39,880
as time progresses, and as you discover, as you discover, like, sorry, I lost it, one

103
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,880
second.

104
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,520
As you discover, as you discover, like, and you realize, like, your natural interests,

105
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:52,800
things that, things that come to you naturally, things that you're interested in and attracted

106
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:59,640
to without needing to be prompted, that doesn't necessarily show you your purpose, but it's

107
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,520
a very, in my, like, I would say nine times out of ten, that is a very definite spiritual

108
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,520
hint.

109
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,520
That's good.

110
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,200
Like, for me, I have an example for myself.

111
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:22,320
My interest in philosophy, which led me to want to pursue being a life coach, it started,

112
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,160
and I think some people are going to kind of like get confused for a second, because

113
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,600
it started from a PewDiePie video.

114
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,920
No, I know, they only think it'll spark your purpose.

115
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,760
But you think PewDiePie, you're like, oh, video game YouTuber, which he's not anymore,

116
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,880
but you know, but like, which is great, and I love his channel, but the, shout out PewDiePie,

117
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:49,720
but like our podcast, but the, but like, my interest in philosophy came from a PewDiePie

118
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,720
video.

119
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:57,800
He used to do, I think he's going to do one eventually in the future, who do book reviews.

120
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,800
And it was one of the first ones I watched, and he did a book review of, part of it was

121
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,560
on Nick McKay and Nick McKay and ethics, which is a book written by Aristotle, I believe

122
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,040
for dedicated to his son Nick McKay, Nick McKay, and I'm probably butchering that pronunciation.

123
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,560
But the, I bought the book the next day, or that day or whatever, I bought it really quickly.

124
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,240
And I never even thought about learning about philosophy and just the way it was presented

125
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,040
and the thought process behind the book, just like sparked something in me.

126
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,520
And that, that set me on a trajectory.

127
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,000
I wasn't thinking like, I wasn't thinking like, oh, I want to help other people grow,

128
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,800
but it's like, that's right, my trajectory is like, I want to understand how people think.

129
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,320
And that, so like, if you have something like that in your life, talking to the listener

130
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:55,880
or the Sean or whoever, like, something that naturally, naturally hit your interest and

131
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,680
that you're even prompted, there's no reason that seemingly that should have caught your

132
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:01,680
interest.

133
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:06,840
So that is a hint that hint to, I believe that's a hint to your purpose.

134
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,680
I think that's really good.

135
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:12,200
My next question is like, how do you teach others your purpose?

136
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,480
Cause that's a hard one.

137
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,400
Like people don't see eye to eye.

138
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,280
How do you teach them like, Hey, this is why I was here.

139
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,280
Oh, okay.

140
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,280
I think I understand.

141
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,240
So you're saying, I'm just going to ask you.

142
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,680
So was that question?

143
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:29,240
So you're saying how do you show other people what your personal purpose is?

144
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,240
Yeah.

145
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,240
Okay.

146
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:37,280
So you, I, you pursue your, you pursue your purpose through your calling and we'll get

147
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,960
into what that means in a second.

148
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,160
Um, I feel I have some things I want to talk about, but like more, but I'm going to ask

149
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:44,160
Sean questions too.

150
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,160
Don't worry.

151
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:52,320
Uh, but you pursue your calling to your best ability, which is a result of your purpose,

152
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,600
what you believe your purpose is.

153
00:09:54,600 --> 00:10:00,900
And you pursue, you pursue that and you show it by example.

154
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:02,680
You don't just be like, Hey, this is my purpose.

155
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:03,680
This is what I'm meant to do.

156
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:04,680
Believe me.

157
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:09,760
Uh, like I, and cause like, um, you just lead by, you just show by example.

158
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,760
That's good.

159
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,760
I'm stating that.

160
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:17,400
And that's, um, because you can't really, yeah, I'm going to say experience.

161
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,520
I would say you ever heard experience is the best teacher.

162
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,520
Yeah.

163
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,640
So like people experiencing you, pursuing people, experiencing you, pursuing your, pursuing

164
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,400
your calling, pursuing your purpose is the best way to be, uh, if you want people to

165
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,880
understand what your purpose is, that's the best way to do it.

166
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:41,280
And be like, like, that's why, like, I'm going to have, you know, I want to pursue my, uh,

167
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,520
a calling, uh, a calling, uh, of, uh, being a life coach.

168
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,880
Uh, and the best way for me to do that is to pursue being a life coach, but that, but

169
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,880
like, that's not the purpose.

170
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,200
The purpose is to guide, guide others to be the best version of themselves.

171
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,480
And the purpose, I was going to dive into this for a second.

172
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:07,720
Uh, the calling of the coach is just the what, it's just the ha, the what, the how.

173
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:13,960
Um, man, it's just like, yeah, the, the calling is this, yeah, the calling is the what.

174
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,840
So it's probably, Paul, I got a little jumbled with my notes, but the calling is just like

175
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:25,880
the what of how you're, the what, and then the how is like the plan to pursue that.

176
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,880
That makes sense.

177
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,880
Yeah.

178
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,440
I'm going to say I was a little jumbled there, so I apologize if that's confusing.

179
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Um, so, so can you read, what was the question again?

180
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,000
The question was, how do you teach people?

181
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Yeah.

182
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,280
How do you teach people, call others your purpose?

183
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,280
Yeah.

184
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,280
I think you answered it.

185
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Yeah.

186
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:52,160
So the calling is the what, the how is how you get to your, um, the what or, and then

187
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,800
the why would be, um, your actual Pacific purpose.

188
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,680
Like, you know, yeah, I actually like that.

189
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:00,800
The what, the how, and the why.

190
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,800
Yeah.

191
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,880
So you got any questions for your boy?

192
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,880
Yeah, man.

193
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:05,880
Why are you here?

194
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,880
All right.

195
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,360
Why am I here?

196
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,240
I guess the first answer with that would be to love God, love people, teach people love

197
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,240
God.

198
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,040
That is my why.

199
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:24,240
My purpose is that am I what would be future pastor?

200
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,800
Am I how is trying to get that?

201
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,560
So why don't you expand on that a little bit?

202
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:33,560
Okay.

203
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:40,400
Like, um, cause the area of your life you're in right now, like it makes it hard, like

204
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,000
go into that a little, like how do you, is the current, your current state of your life

205
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,480
right now, is that I just made it sound so bad.

206
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,480
No, no, no, no, it's good.

207
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,880
But like, uh, the current state of your life, right, life right now, like how's that playing

208
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:53,880
into your purpose?

209
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,880
Oh, okay.

210
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,840
Um, let's see my current state of my life right now.

211
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,760
How is it playing into my purpose?

212
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:06,760
I would say the things that have shaped me during this season, um, was very earth shattering,

213
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,400
but it never like, it never really changed my purpose at all.

214
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,760
If anything, it just helped me to grow in the areas that I like.

215
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:22,040
So like, um, I feel like I've had a purpose, known my purpose.

216
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:28,560
I just didn't have the what, like I didn't have the title behind my why, but I knew the

217
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,320
why from since an early age.

218
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:39,400
For me, I got, I got blessed early to have, um, the why given to me at the age of five

219
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,040
when I was having visions of heaven and preaching the gospel.

220
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,920
Everybody doesn't have that for their, their, um, their, their purpose.

221
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,040
But for me, I got, I was blessed where that happens.

222
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Everybody's going to find their purpose.

223
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,000
At least I hope everybody finds their purpose in life.

224
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,020
And if you're listening to this, I'm really hoping that you start seeking for the purpose

225
00:14:00,020 --> 00:14:01,020
of your life.

226
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:03,680
So you're not just living mundane type of life.

227
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:08,640
Well, like whenever you say where you'll be, people find their purpose.

228
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,000
How do you define, like, how do you find a purpose?

229
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,960
I think we have, we have, we, we phrase it a little differently.

230
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:14,960
Yeah.

231
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,960
Um, how do I define purpose?

232
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,560
I would say it is the reason for which you are here.

233
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,040
The reason that you were born, your destiny.

234
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:31,080
And some people would say your, your calling is another example.

235
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,600
Um, it's just why, why are you here?

236
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:40,000
Like we're all here on this planet, but why are you specifically here?

237
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Right.

238
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,720
And like, I don't know if you can, I don't know if you don't think it's good.

239
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,720
It's good.

240
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,920
So like you mentioned, I'm going to reiterate like your purpose, the way I have it defined

241
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,760
and people can, you can feel free to, anybody can feel free to like disagree or like have

242
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,760
a different take.

243
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,880
Like I'm open to, like, I want more people.

244
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,280
I would love if people DM'd us and it's like, Hey, this is my take.

245
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,920
I don't fully agree with you, but here's what I, here's what I think.

246
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,560
Cause I would love to have that dialogue with people.

247
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,580
But um, anyway, like your, I have written here, your purpose is your why, your calling

248
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:16,000
is your what.

249
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,320
Your plan to pursue your calling is your how.

250
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,440
And then I have the AKA your vision and then, Oh, I don't know.

251
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,720
I don't think I finished that thought then in my notes.

252
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:35,400
But then I kind of had a thought earlier, like your vision is, it can be a why, but

253
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,840
it's also a combination of the purpose, the calling and the plan.

254
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:40,840
I like that.

255
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,440
Honestly, that's when I, when I see a vision, right?

256
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,440
Right.

257
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,280
My vision for my life would be to reach 2 million people to the gospel of Jesus.

258
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,280
Yes.

259
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,280
That's like my vision.

260
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,760
That's like what I honestly hope that before I die, that I am able to say, all right, God,

261
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,800
I haven't done much in this life, but I at least brought 2 million people to it.

262
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,200
Well, that's something that's popping in my head.

263
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,200
Yeah.

264
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:10,200
Something with my dad specifically, my dad, Tom Carney, senior, uh, shout out to dad.

265
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,720
Uh, shout out to dads everywhere.

266
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,720
Um, my dad is a carpenter.

267
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,040
He's been, he's been a carpenter.

268
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,720
It's like, he's been doing stuff like carpentry and working with wood since he was honestly

269
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:33,360
a kid and like him and his friends, they didn't have, they didn't watch TV.

270
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,200
They didn't play video games.

271
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,920
They walked up hill both ways to school.

272
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,080
Uh, they go into, they literally would go to the woods, chop down trees and build a

273
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,080
lot of cabins.

274
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,080
That's kind of awesome.

275
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,280
That's like the lumberjack mainly man that my dad is.

276
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,560
He definitely is that guy.

277
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,720
And like, uh, but he can walk into a house.

278
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,040
Like he did this with their current house that they live in now and, uh, down in like

279
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560
middle of Lincoln near Pennsylvania.

280
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:06,520
Um, they, um, like he walked into this house with the roof caving in and like saw them

281
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,320
and had the vision for what it could be.

282
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,520
And my mom walked into the house and she was like, and not saying anything against my mom,

283
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,740
but she doesn't have the same vision that my dad does.

284
00:17:15,740 --> 00:17:20,720
She walked into, she walked into the house and was like, you want to buy this house?

285
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,720
You want to buy this house?

286
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,720
Yeah.

287
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,720
My dad, yeah, it's in the best, it's a perfect spot.

288
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,720
It helps me to eat it for sale.

289
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,880
And my dad, my dad ended up buying it.

290
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,360
He figured it out.

291
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,760
Like he found the owner in a, yeah, yeah.

292
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,720
But like, uh, the, the, he walked in the house and saw what it could be.

293
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,520
And that's like, it's like with you, with your purpose, like you, you, you look, you,

294
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,640
you ever like, you look at people and you'd be like, you can't really quantify like 2

295
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,640
million people.

296
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,640
Yeah.

297
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,800
But like, like, because like you're already bringing people to Christ.

298
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,800
Yeah.

299
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,800
You don't know how many people you've brought to Christ.

300
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:58,800
Right.

301
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,880
But like, but you, but you like, I look at, but so like, but like being like, I want to

302
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:08,200
bring as many people as I possibly can to God and to, so they can be saved and go to

303
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,840
heaven and find their calling and their purpose and like, and be able to have the vision of

304
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,040
looking at somebody and being like, not just like, not just knowing what they are as a

305
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,160
child of God, but like looking at them and being like, and having the vision of what

306
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,160
their life could be like if they were saved.

307
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,160
Yeah.

308
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:32,960
And like being able to, and having that on, on the expanse of 2 million people, like expand

309
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:33,960
on that a little bit.

310
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,280
Like what would like, cause like there's more than, there's more to it than just like, I

311
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,560
want 2 million people to come to Christ.

312
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,560
Like why?

313
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:42,560
Why?

314
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:50,120
I feel like if we can, I think 2 million people's like, could be a huge number for some people,

315
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,120
right?

316
00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:52,120
Right.

317
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:57,440
Like a really small number of people trying to bring to Christ.

318
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,440
I feel like in our lifetimes, there are so many people that we have the opportunity to

319
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,320
bring to Christ that a lot of people forget to like expand on.

320
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:13,620
But my, my, my, my Pacific purpose is to try to bring as many people to Christ as possible.

321
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:18,360
To me, 2 million is just like, like a cap size number that I would put on it.

322
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:22,040
I would like to bring like 20 million, a billion, something crazy.

323
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,000
Like I'm just like being realistic in my life.

324
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,960
I'm trying to see how many people can I actually possibly bring.

325
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,400
And I feel like 2 million is a reasonable number.

326
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,800
I love how, I love it because like 2 million, yeah, 2 million seems realistic.

327
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:36,800
That's good.

328
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,560
Which is like, I honestly, the second you said realistic, it makes me want to blow it

329
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,720
up and not say it's not realistic, but like if you think that's realistic, then you should

330
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,720
go higher.

331
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:47,720
Yeah.

332
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,720
This is a book here.

333
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,640
Here's a book that you asked me before, before we started recording any references and it's

334
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,840
been referred to on this podcast before.

335
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,680
It's Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

336
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,560
Whenever you're writing down, he goes through the whole book saying definite purpose.

337
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,840
What is your definite purpose and being as defined as possible with all of this stuff.

338
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,600
And dang, I don't know how that, I didn't think about that before.

339
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:19,440
But like, and like he's saying, and like during that, man, what was I thinking?

340
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,440
I had a thought.

341
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,440
Think and Grow Rich.

342
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,440
Oh yeah, Think and Grow Rich.

343
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:29,520
It was a definite purpose and I, oh man, I lost my train of thought.

344
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,600
It just crashed and burned again.

345
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:37,520
You were talking about that if I think that 2 million is reasonable, that I can go higher.

346
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,520
Oh, yes, thank you.

347
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,520
Yes.

348
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,640
And whenever you're writing it out, whenever you're writing down like what you're going

349
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,720
to do, like throw reason out the window.

350
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,720
He literally says that.

351
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,240
Throw reason out the window.

352
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,840
I'll take that.

353
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,840
And make that part of your, and make that part of like this definite goal, this definite

354
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,840
plan.

355
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:01,240
It's more about, it's not really saying your purpose is different, but saying that the

356
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:07,240
plan is so defined and while you're throwing reason out the window.

357
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,120
So even if you don't believe right now, you don't have to believe that you can actually

358
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:13,120
do it.

359
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:18,880
Well, actually you do, you do, but like even if you think it's unrealistic, you pursue

360
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:24,200
it anyway because what's realistic to you now can be realistic to you later down the

361
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,520
road because you're not, maybe you're not capable with your current resources, but if

362
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:35,160
you pursue it with like the, with the zeal of like, I can do, I can do that.

363
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,560
I believe that's going to be my future.

364
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,120
Then the resources will come.

365
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:44,840
Your resources will grow and your connections will grow as long as you're pursuing what

366
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,800
you, what could pursuing this definite purpose that you set before yourself, this definite

367
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,440
calling and definite plan.

368
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,240
That's so good.

369
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,100
This whole chapter in the book, I have not finished it because it's a 90 page really

370
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:03,480
dense chapter called like pretty much, I forget what the chapter is even called because like

371
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:09,880
works my full time job has been crazy, but like, but like the whole chapter is like skull

372
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,440
every time you pick up the book.

373
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,840
So if I can recommend any book to you guys right now on purpose, that's not just specifically

374
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,760
on purpose, but he talks about it a lot.

375
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,880
I would say Think and Grow Rich and we will link it.

376
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,960
We've linked it already in past episodes, but we will link it in the show notes.

377
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,520
Buy it when you're done with the episode, not now because you're listening to the episode

378
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,520
right now.

379
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,520
We'll link it afterwards.

380
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,200
I think that's really good.

381
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:42,440
Honestly, I love how that you're saying like if it's unrealistic to you now, it will be

382
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,120
if you believe it.

383
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:45,120
Yeah.

384
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:52,800
Like keep after pursuit of it, like be serious about it, be focused about it, be dedicated

385
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,800
about it.

386
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,800
And then it'll, it'll, it'll be easy for you to.

387
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,800
Right.

388
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,800
I love that.

389
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,560
And like, well, let me put that into more of a frame, current frame of reference.

390
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:08,160
Whenever we started this podcast, you would have not thought about ever like we, I had

391
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,280
like the vision of like, I want to make, I would like to, there to be some sort of revenue

392
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,920
coming from this podcast.

393
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:19,000
But when we were on day zero, like there was no possible way that we were going to make

394
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
any money.

395
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Yeah.

396
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,120
And if you knew already, if you guys, you know, you're here, you heard the promo in

397
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:30,080
the beginning of the episode before this episode started for the merch that we've recently

398
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,080
released.

399
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:37,080
Like we haven't made, we're not rich, but like it set us up on a trajectory to be able

400
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,600
to do this again and again and again and provide with like new products and new things.

401
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,600
We don't have it.

402
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,120
We have plans, but we're not saying it yet.

403
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:47,840
You know, we're just going to let, we're just going to leave the bait hanging there for

404
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,840
a second.

405
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:55,520
But like, but guys, like now we've made, we won't say, we'll make a couple hundred,

406
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,520
like, what'd you say that?

407
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,520
Yeah.

408
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,520
I'm fine with that.

409
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:05,360
But like in the skills that like the skills I've personally learned about, I've learned

410
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:11,800
about how to get merch set up and like the connections we've made because of it.

411
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,360
And like the, and like the, and now that merch is out there, more people can see what the

412
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:21,280
podcast is like and it's creating even, and it's going to make it even more possible for

413
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,680
the podcast to grow.

414
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,680
Absolutely.

415
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:29,320
So like us pursuing the vision that we have on this podcast is becoming more realistic

416
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,080
because we kept, we just kept, because, because we kept at it.

417
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Absolutely.

418
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,760
I think that's the best thing to do is just like you said, keep focused, keep determined

419
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:38,760
and keep pursuing.

420
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:39,760
Yeah.

421
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:40,760
Oh man.

422
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,760
You have anything else you want to talk about?

423
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,760
Oh man, no.

424
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,760
It's all, it's all.

425
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,760
All right.

426
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:51,560
So I want to say real quick, I have a couple of things in my notes about like exactly that

427
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:56,520
can do how I discovered my calling and like in my purpose and whatever.

428
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:02,520
Like I said before earlier that that can change because of where you are at in your life and

429
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,520
it makes sense.

430
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,640
And because your why will change, your why will change and you discover new things about

431
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,200
yourself and like, you're like, oh, actually I can pursue this thing.

432
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,640
Maybe you'll start believing yourself more and setting those unrealistic goals that you

433
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,600
think are unrealistic, but would be realistic later.

434
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,360
And all of that starts with doing that internal work.

435
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:30,080
And like whenever I discovered, whenever I believe I discovered mine and I fully believe

436
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,880
it will like, it will grow in mature.

437
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,600
When I say it changes, it's not going to make it, it could make it 180, but I believe it

438
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,600
will more mature than like completely get torn down and built back up, which that definitely

439
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,920
can happen too.

440
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,120
But I have written down here, like it wasn't something I sat down and thought about.

441
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:50,360
It's something really, it just kind of formulated over time.

442
00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,400
And like it did, however, it did, it took time.

443
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,360
It did take time for me to develop and understand my own personal interests.

444
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,840
And that's something that you can sit down and think about.

445
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,000
But like, what are my interests?

446
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,960
What like, what, what do I even if it's like has nothing to do with your current career

447
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,600
or maybe it does and like think about your current career, maybe it's or your current

448
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:20,480
job and you think like, like I don't want to be doing this job, but there, but like

449
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,280
you like, and some people will be like, I hate my job.

450
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,400
I don't want to, I don't want to be here at all.

451
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,400
I'm just here.

452
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,560
Like I'm just here to make the money.

453
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,560
And that's you.

454
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,560
Like I want to say I feel bad for you.

455
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,400
I'll be honest because like there are jobs.

456
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,040
You don't, again, you don't want a job.

457
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,080
You want a career and cause jobs chance stands for just over broke.

458
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,080
I'm just going to leave that out there.

459
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:47,000
I was going to let that go, but, but like, I was thinking about that while I was going

460
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
to sleep last night.

461
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,720
I think that goes through my head, but like, uh, it was also not my acronym.

462
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,720
It was somebody else.

463
00:26:54,720 --> 00:27:00,240
Um, my dad told me that from a conference he went to a while ago, but, uh, the, um,

464
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,600
but like, man, I keep doing it to myself.

465
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,680
I keep losing my train of thought.

466
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,920
You were on the pass of let me see if I could sum this up.

467
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,480
Um, they, if you hate your job, okay.

468
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:16,760
Let me go back to, uh, so like you're pursuing and you like, you're doing the internal work.

469
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,080
Get back on, get back on the track for a second.

470
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,080
The job you're in right now, or if you don't like your job at all, okay.

471
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,080
Throw that out the window.

472
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,520
But if you're in your job and you like some parts of it, or even if it's a very tiny

473
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,920
little piece, like why do you like it?

474
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,400
Why do you like that part of your job?

475
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600
Maybe you, that's not a job you want to do for the rest of your life, but why do you

476
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,840
like that part of it?

477
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,560
And, or like, why do you, what, what do you get in?

478
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,560
What do you get enjoyment out of other areas of your life?

479
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,560
And why do you get enjoyment out of them?

480
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,920
Why your friends, your friends, not saying like, oh, they shouldn't be.

481
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,800
I'm saying like, why are they your friends?

482
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,840
Like, like, like what common interests do you guys have and why are they your interests?

483
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,200
So, and like, you know, these are things that come, they came naturally.

484
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,200
Yeah.

485
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,880
Like, at the time, as you like, you were influenced by your, as like, influenced by like the people

486
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,000
in your life, but that's things you watch on the internet and like things like that.

487
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,720
Like, like there is a, there is a core reason why these interests are your interests and

488
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,560
that can, that can help you discover your purpose.

489
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:19,560
Absolutely.

490
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:25,440
And that's why I talked about PewDiePie, like, as PewDiePie and like, they became ethics.

491
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,520
Like, I didn't even finish the book yet.

492
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,280
Like, I bought it like years ago.

493
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,280
It was so dry.

494
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,760
I didn't read the whole thing, but like, I'm going to.

495
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,680
I mean, like, I'm getting better at reading like different authors.

496
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,240
Um, I was, I think I told you this before.

497
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,240
I know I'm talking so much.

498
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,240
No, no, it's good.

499
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,240
It's good.

500
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,240
I'm talking so much.

501
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,280
Um, you're, uh, I love reading books.

502
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,160
I've said this before and people give it like, why are people like people?

503
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,160
I love that.

504
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,400
I love how the responses I get from me saying this.

505
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,240
I love reading books, but authors who are dead.

506
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,240
That is something unusual.

507
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,040
I don't think it is.

508
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:07,480
I think people just because like, like, like Napoleon Hill, he's dead and he wrote great

509
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,080
books and you're just no way you're going to get the firsthand, that firsthand information

510
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,480
other than reading his books.

511
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,480
I mean, that makes sense.

512
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:15,480
He's not making videos on YouTube.

513
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,640
I mean, that makes sense, but I just, the way you worded it was funny.

514
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,640
Cause I mean, exactly.

515
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,640
Exactly.

516
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,320
It's like, it gets people's attention and also it's true.

517
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,600
I mean, I read people's books.

518
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,320
They're CS Lewis, CS Lewis, the Bible, the Bible, the Bible.

519
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,160
I mean, like, I get it.

520
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:44,320
There's like my brother, he reads a lot of philosophies and I'm like, what's his name?

521
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,320
With your brother's name, Claudius.

522
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,320
No, no, my brother's name is Casey.

523
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,320
Yeah.

524
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,320
Claudius.

525
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,320
Yeah.

526
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,320
Claudius.

527
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,320
Yeah.

528
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,640
Like to say he was reading a couple of those and he gives me some pages of wisdom and it's

529
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,480
like, yeah, see it, see that and still like, okay.

530
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,680
But the point of me bringing that up, cause I, sorry.

531
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,680
No, no, you're good.

532
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,240
Cause we were going off the rails, but like I want to remember like the reason for me

533
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:12,720
bringing that up is because the Nick and McKinnon ethics led me to believe, led me to understand

534
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,600
like, oh wow, I actually want to understand how people think.

535
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,920
And then that led me to want to be a coach and that led me to want to understand what

536
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,880
actually being a coach is.

537
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,920
And which led me like down the trajectory of wanting to start my own business.

538
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,200
And then that taught me so much.

539
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:33,000
And then like the failure of the first time led to like, led me to pursue it again.

540
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,960
And with the knowledge I had for the last time, I just, that purpose like just matured

541
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,960
over time.

542
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:45,120
And like now I'm like, now I have a plan that I'm pursuing and it's all because like it

543
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,840
all, for me, it all started because of that one PewDiePie video.

544
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,800
You see, like, like you never know what's going to spark your interest.

545
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,800
You never know.

546
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,480
Like, but like if you start thinking about like, why did that spark my interest?

547
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,240
And why do I, why do I like drawing?

548
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,600
Why I don't, but like, why do I like drawing?

549
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,240
Why, like what are your natural talents?

550
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,400
Like that can all help you understand like what your purpose is.

551
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,400
Yeah.

552
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:13,400
I think that's really good.

553
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,720
I think I would like to say something to like the point you made before this, which kind

554
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:25,280
of led us to this, which was if you're at a job that you don't like, remember like the

555
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,400
reason why you got that job.

556
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,880
Was it to just pay the bills nine out of 10 times?

557
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
A little bit of that, that would be yes.

558
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,600
But the other reason would be like, this would be a stepping stone so you can achieve your

559
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,200
dream, your goal.

560
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,560
And that is usually where you'll find your purpose.

561
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:43,560
That's a good point.

562
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:44,560
That's a really good point.

563
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:45,560
So like, yeah.

564
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:51,520
And I wasn't pointing that at you when I said like earlier when I said I feel bad for people,

565
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:56,000
but like, but reformulating it in a way, be like, okay, yeah, that's a better way to say

566
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,000
it.

567
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,440
Like, like you're in that job.

568
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,320
There is a reason that you're in that job and it's not a bad reason.

569
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:02,320
Yeah.

570
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,320
So no, that's good.

571
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,320
I think that's a good place.

572
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,080
Do you think that's a good place to wrap it up?

573
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,080
I think so.

574
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,080
Let's we can expand on.

575
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,080
I love this episode.

576
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,800
It's going down really good.

577
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,800
Enjoy.

578
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,840
You're learning a lot about where you can find your purpose.

579
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:17,840
Yeah.

580
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,840
So are you wrapping it up or are you expanding more?

581
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,960
Oh, I guess we will expand more.

582
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,760
Yeah, I like we got five.

583
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,760
So I think for like, for me, like personally, right?

584
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,520
Like I know my purpose.

585
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:37,000
I've known it for a long time and been blessed to have brothers like Thomas and other people

586
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,520
in my life to help me become a better version of me and continue to become a better version

587
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,520
of me.

588
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,160
So even when you find yourself in hard times in life, don't let the hard times stop you

589
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,880
from achieving your goals or your purpose.

590
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,880
Yeah.

591
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,680
But instead use that to grow.

592
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:54,680
Yeah.

593
00:32:54,680 --> 00:33:01,280
And so like I'm in a season right now where I there's huge shot that like everything that

594
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:08,880
I've achieved will will actually benefit me in the long run even better because it's like

595
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,560
my purpose is still getting achieved one way or another.

596
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:14,560
Yeah.

597
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,600
And that's where I think our mindset should be like for me possibly I have like a chance

598
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,160
to speed rocket my purpose.

599
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:28,160
It will be hard suffering, a lot of push ups, a lot of mile running.

600
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,160
But my college is paid for.

601
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,160
Boom.

602
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Finance is I'll have.

603
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:34,760
Boom.

604
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:40,720
It sets me off in such a trajectory and I owe it all to God, but like it has me being

605
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:47,520
a stronger version of myself financially better mentally better and spiritually stronger.

606
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:53,440
So like every aspect of my life is only going up, but I had to go through the hardest valley.

607
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,920
So don't give up on your purpose because you're going through a hard situation.

608
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:03,520
Instead that should open your eyes to realize that your purpose is on the other side of

609
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,520
that hard valley.

610
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,520
Yeah.

611
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,520
That's good.

612
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,520
That is really good, man.

613
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,520
I don't know.

614
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,520
I should have had to add to that.

615
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:10,520
Really?

616
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,520
Really?

617
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:17,920
I'm just listening at this point.

618
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,840
I honestly I think we can wrap it up then.

619
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,840
All right.
