The question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society, who are on our own,
how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow?
That is the question, and this show will give you the answers.
My name is James Radzynski, and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show.
Welcome back, everyone.
So, hopefully today or tomorrow is the last day you will hear this poor audio quality.
Because I realized a couple weeks ago that this audio quality was terrible,
and I said I was going to do something about it, but then I just didn't.
Sorry about that, but yesterday or two days ago, my dad said he had a Blue Snowball,
a very old Blue Snowball microphone that he used to record music videos with.
So he said I could use it.
So I spent like an hour yesterday, an hour today, trying to figure out how to get it to work on the computer,
and I just came to the conclusion that it is not supported anymore on Windows devices.
That's just what I came to the conclusion because after many question threads that I looked at,
the end of one of the threads, someone just said that it's probably not supported anymore.
So I'm just like, alright, so I gave up on that.
It is what it is. And then I went online, looked up the best microphone for budgets and bought it.
But then I told my dad and then he said that he actually had a different microphone.
So I canceled my order and then we went in the attic and found a very high quality microphone
that he uses for music sometimes.
He said I could use it, so I got it.
And I realized that I have to get a XLR to USB adapter, which will allow me to connect it to my computer.
And that's really it.
So I ordered that XLR to USB adapter on Amazon.
So it should come tomorrow, hopefully before I record.
If not, I'll just record and then the next episode will be a very good quality.
And the reason why I'm kind of rushing this right now,
like trying to get a higher quality microphone right now,
is because I suspect my channel will start to grow a lot more soon.
Because I was looking at on online yesterday, I was talking about how it's really easy to get into the top 1% of podcasts.
All you have to do is upload 25 videos and then you're in the top 1%.
So today my 20th episode launched.
So tomorrow morning my 21st episode will be out.
By the way, episode 21 is my best episode I've ever recorded.
And then the second best is episode 14.
So if you haven't listened to those, go check those out.
Other than that, that means that today I'm right now I'm recording episode 21.
And on, or no, what am I talking about?
Today I'm recording episode 25.
So that means episode 26 or 27, I will have better quality sound.
And I suspect that soon the algorithm, podcast algorithm, will be sending me to more and more people.
And my channel will be start to grow more and more soon.
Because I haven't checked my statistics today, but a couple days ago, or yesterday I think I checked,
I had like 300 downloads.
And like every day I'm getting more and more downloads.
So I'm just growing more and more.
So that's why I am going to upgrade my mic.
Because I don't want the algorithm to send my channel to a bunch of people who listen to one episode and never listen again.
Because of the video quality is bad, or the audio quality.
So I'm getting a new mic, and then I'll grow more hopefully.
Alright, so that's that. Today was a good day.
I, yesterday, a couple days ago, I decided that I was going to only go to the gym three days a week.
And my reasoning behind that was, since school is coming up, I want to be able to study in the morning.
Before school. So I'll wake up at six, my morning routine is done around, oh wait no, I'll wake up at four.
My morning routine is done around six.
And then I'll be able to study for like an hour, and then I'll eat.
Alright, so I'll actually tell you my new routine.
So I already told you guys my routine in a previous episode, so I'm not going to go in depth.
But pretty much, I wake up and then shower, eat, uh, no. So I wake up, shower, meditate,
and then I balance for ten minutes on a ball.
So in my meditation, I do a warm-off, and then I meditate for the rest of the 30 minutes.
So that's 30 minute chunk. And then I do a breath work meditation for ten minutes with a straw and vacuuming my stomach.
And then after that, I do ten minutes of balancing on a medicine ball, which I talked about on a previous episode.
And then after that, I eat while I see my balls. And then, and then after that, I am done.
So then I study for like an hour. And I'm gonna cook, while I'm cooking my eggs in the morning,
I'm also gonna cook two cups of white rice. And I'm gonna add, I'm gonna have that white rice cooked.
But just not prepare it until after I'm done studying. So around 7-10, I'll eat that rice and then go to school.
And then when I come home from school, I'll cook my lunch, which is four ground beef burgers from Costco,
the grass-fed ones, which is like one and a third pounds of ground beef. And then sauerkraut,
I'll eat the rest of my eggshells. Yeah, I eat that eggshells in the morning too, but I usually eat like four or five eggshells every day.
I cook eight and then I throw the rest away. And when I get home, I'll eat my ground beef with sauerkraut, eggshells,
and also chicken breast, two chicken breasts. That will be meal three. And also, by the way, I'm gonna add in spinach.
I'm gonna cook spinach with my eggs. So I'll just combine the eggs and spinach and cook them together.
That will give me more fiber because I'm gonna be honest, my poops are not that great.
So hopefully the spinach will help and also the rice hopefully. And then once I get home from school, I'll eat.
And by the way, I'm only doing three periods, so I'm going to first, second, and third. And I leave after that.
So that's like 1030. And then I will be home, eat, and then maybe like 30 minutes to an hour after I'm done eating.
During that time, I might study or do homework or, and by the way, when I say study, I'm not studying school.
I never study for school. When I study, I study my books that I want to read. So right now I'm studying reality transferring and expert secrets.
So I might get another study session after the meal. Depends on how good my focus is after eating that big meal. We'll see.
And then if not, I might try and do like a, I don't know what I'll do, but once 30 minutes to an hour after that meal, I will go to the gym.
And right now I do push pull legs and I do pretty much like seven days a week. But the past couple days, since I'm switching to three days a week, I'm not doing that anymore.
I'm actually now, and let me tell you why, because me and my friend met a 30 year old guy who is jacked. He's pretty, he's a bodybuilder.
And he posted a video when he was like 18 and he was like the most jacked bodybuilder, jacked 18 year old in the world.
So he's the real deal and he still is jacked. And so we have been talking to him every couple days, like all summer.
So we've had a lot of conversation and today we were talking about just our lifting routine and all that.
And he's the one that told me about balancing on the ball. Well, my friend told me about balancing on the ball, but he told my friend about balancing the ball.
So technically he told me, but the middle man. Here, I'm just going to call my friend Franklin and the 30 year old guy who's my friend as well.
I'll call him Alex. And then so Alex is the one that told me about breath work with this metal straw. That's super good.
And then he's also the one that told me about balancing on the ball. So we were talking a lot today, but today he told me a new thing and it is a neck exercise.
So I'm going to be doing that. It's basically like doing the bridge, but you support yourself on the neck. So I'm going to be doing that as well.
And he also talked about how we need to be going to the gym after school. And then it kind of clicked where I could actually make it work even better to go after school.
So that's what I'm going to do. And then you get more benefits because you get like three meals in instead of one. Plus you'll have all of your water in.
There's just lots of benefits to it. And he also said to do legs first after after being off.
So he said, do take two days rest and then do legs and go crazy hard.
And in the beginning you do heavy and low rep, but the second half you do super sad high rep.
And so I'm going to follow that structure. Like before I was doing push pull legs basically seven days a week, unless I needed a rest day or something came up.
But now I'm going to do rest day, rest day, legs pull push because he said back day is also the second most important.
So do leg day first, back day second or no leg day first, back day second and then chest day third.
So pretty much legs pull push because the main difference between the male and the female body is the male has like 30 percent more back muscle.
So the back is way more important. So and I kind of agree. So I'm doing legs pull push.
And that will help me a lot. And now I'm doing it in the afternoon. I never work out in the afternoons.
And it's actually perfect because I'll get three meals in and my school school is over quick.
So I won't get super tired or worn out from school.
And that's the reason why I never went after school is because I always got worn out from school.
So I didn't have that much energy to lift, but now I will have a lot more energy.
So now my routine is going to look like I'm eating the same amount, but I'm just going to add one more.
So I usually eat two meals currently, but tomorrow I'm going to be eating three meals.
So I'm going to eat the same two meals, same calories, same everything.
But I'm adding 400 calories to my day by adding another meal of just white rice. And I'm going to.
I'm just going to experiment with putting things on top of it to make it taste better.
My mom said put butter, but we don't have butter. So I'm going to try and put coconut oil, see how that tastes.
If not, we'll buy some butter because we forgot to buy it.
I usually buy grass fed, but I forgot to ask for it.
So this week we don't have butter, but it's fine.
And that's pretty much also I got to start adding putting coconut oil on my armpits again because I've been smelling bad.
Yeah, that's pretty much my routine. Go to the gym and then I'll come home and do my night time routine.
Gym will last like an hour, an hour and a half maybe.
I'll shower. Maybe I'll shower at home or that I'll shower there because I like I like the biking home nice and clean.
So if I go there at one and then I can get back around like.
Two thirty to three. So that will be perfect, because then.
I'll just right away work on my podcast.
And then. Yeah, I'll have to do study before I go to the gym.
So go go to school, come home, eat, study.
Do homework and then. I'll try and do my homework at school.
That's what I normally do. And then I'll once I'm done setting, I'll go to the gym, come home, do my podcast.
And then. Oh, I do then.
Come home, do the podcast and I'll just do my night time routine.
Around that will be around like five, five o'clock is when I start my night time routine.
Takes about an hour and a half. So, yeah, that's.
That's pretty much my new routine.
I want to talk about something me and my friend talked about today, and it's trans surfing.
Let me get a glass of water first.
So this is one of the. Things that I read yesterday in my studies during trans surfing.
And. I will never do this again, and if I catch myself do this, doing this, I will instantly.
And it and it's never envy anything, never feel envy.
I'll explain why. So when you're envying something, the way that emotion works is your brain is basically
telling yourself that you don't need it, that you're better off without that thing.
And. That that thing is actually not that good, and it's better that you don't have it.
And that your brain basically tells yourself that to comfort you, to give yourself some comfort
to make yourself feel better. And that's your conscious brain tells you that.
But your subconscious takes everything literally.
So you're basically telling your subconscious that you don't need it and you're better off without it.
So your subconscious takes that and. Makes certain.
It makes absolute certain that you don't get that thing.
So let's say your friend has a. Brand new soccer ball.
And you're envious about it. So your brain is telling you that you don't need it,
that you're better off without it. It's not all that great.
And they're actually worse off because they have it.
That's just how envy works. And your brain is basically just telling you that to make yourself feel comfortable.
Because you're uncomfortable with the fact that you want it, but you don't have it.
So your brain tells yourself all these things just to give yourself some comfort.
That's your and then your subconscious brain listens to all that stuff.
And. It takes all that information literally.
And so since your subconscious brain. Your heart is your subconscious brain.
That is the perfect part of you. So your brain is imperfect.
It thinks and. It just thinks.
But your heart is perfect and it feels and knows that's that's its like language.
The brain is the language of the man and the heart is the language of like perfection.
It's just emotion. It just feels and knows things.
And in terms of transferring, your heart is connected to the alternative space,
which is basically it's just everything that ever was, is or will be.
So pretty much if you've ever had everyone has had this like an intuition or a feeling.
So let's say someone is about to knock on your front door and you have this feeling that something's about to happen.
Well, that's because you had like a premonition or an intuition in your heart.
And this is all this also is works of art, new discoveries and science.
All of these things are because of the heart and.
The heart. Is connected to your alternative space,
and that is where we get all this new information, all this new knowledge, all this art and stuff.
And so. Your heart takes it literally, so it makes sure that you don't enter into
parts of the alternative space where you actually have that soccer ball,
because you're better off without it. That's what you told your heart.
You basically told your heart that you're better off without it and it would be worse if you actually got it.
So the heart takes it literally and prevents you from ever achieving that ball, like getting that ball.
So if you guys are envious of successful people, do not,
because if you're envious about them, you will not be successful.
So that's why envy is like the worst thing possible.
And the paragraph that he explained it in Transurfing, I actually wrote down that entire paragraph word for word.
It took up like my entire page, an entire page of my notebook.
It was worth it, though, because now I can explain it to you guys fairly well.
So don't envy anything. And plus, like you gain no benefit out of being envious.
It's purely a negative emotion. So from purely a selfish standpoint, don't envy.
Even if you don't believe in the alternative space, all this Transurfing stuff.
There is no benefit to envy. So purely from a selfish standpoint,
don't risk envying something just in case Transurfing is true.
Just don't risk it. There's no point.
So that's one of the big things that I missed the first read through that I wanted to tell you guys about.
But another thing that I missed is inner and outer importance.
So when I read Transurfing, I read all the stuff. I read it as quick as possible.
I was like reading 50 pages a day towards the end.
I was just trying to cram everything and just try and get through it.
That was a big mistake because I didn't actually receive most of the knowledge.
All of it just slipped by my head because I was just overloading my brain with information.
So I'm not making that mistake again. I'm reading less. I'm not reading that much. I'm studying it.
But there's one there's another thing that I got through on my second read through, and it's in the balance chapter.
And in that chapter, he talks about importance.
And so for some context, my first read through, I knew that importance was bad,
but I didn't necessarily understand why.
And I didn't understand how valuable it like I didn't understand how important in terms of Transurfing it is to drop importance.
And let me explain when you so in the beginning part of Transurfing, it's all like the foundation stuff.
And then towards the end, it's like more advanced strategies, like slides and stuff like that.
Just more advanced things that you can do, like certain meditations with your side, like many different things.
And so I was focused on the advanced stuff and I didn't focus on the basics foundations.
And in hindsight, I realized that absolutely nothing matters, like nothing will work if you don't drop importance.
And he's been he said that he didn't say that exactly, but that's pretty much why I interpreted like the entire chapter was dedicated to importance.
And he was saying the only obstacle on the path to your goal is the projection of inner and outer importance, the only obstacle.
And so you can't you can achieve your goal with importance, but it's you're wasting way more energy.
And like plus way more difficult because a bunch of obstacles will show up.
And so I kind of pass by on importance and I was working on the advanced stuff on Transurfing while still projecting importance.
So now I realize that I just have to drop importance and release it all.
And then I'll be able to achieve my goals very easily.
You just have to put one step forward.
And so with all of that information that I learned, literally over just the past week of studying,
I'm excited because when I was reading it first time through and I was reading about intention, inner and outer intention,
I misinterpreted it because I thought that inner intention was bad and outer intention was good, but I didn't really know how to get either of them.
And so I'm excited to reread that part in the next following days once I'm done with the alternatives flow.
So maybe like in two or three days, it depends on how much I get done in the mornings.
But I'm excited to read about intention because I know that I misinterpreted it and I know there's gold in those written on those pages.
So I'm excited to let you guys know about it and teach you guys some of the stuff that I learned.
So today I emailed my counselor to follow up on dropping all my classes because she never responded.
So I emailed her and told her that I was going to come in in person tomorrow.
So I'm going to go in person tomorrow and drop all my classes and get a printed version of my schedule
because I have no idea where my classes are right now because the first time I went into the counselor,
we dropped a bunch of classes and rearranged stuff.
So my schedule is not how it's not the same as it was when I got my first page.
So even if I went to school on Tuesday, today, Sunday, by the way, in two days on the first day of school,
I would have no idea where to go on my first period.
So I have to go to my counselor anyways and get it, get my schedule.
I'm really looking forward to this school year because school adds some structure,
adds some more structure to my day, which means that I'll be eating lunch at pretty much the same day,
same time every day so that I can go to the gym at the same time every day.
And my afternoons will just be more structured, which is good because my mornings are structured until like nine o'clock.
And then after nine o'clock, it's different until like four o'clock.
And then at four o'clock, it's the same.
So from four a.m. to nine o'clock to nine a.m., the first five hours of the day is all structured.
I do the same thing.
But then from nine to four, the middle seven hours is different every day.
And then from four to six thirty, the last two and a half hours is the same every day.
So school adds some more structure and allow me to pretty much do the same thing every day,
which that's where the true growth happens by doing the same thing every single day.
When you are doing the right things like studying and meditation.
Let me get some more water.
So there's one thing that I realized a couple of days ago, maybe a week or two ago,
and it's that I have been I always check email and that always distracts me.
And that's just a waste of attention and focus.
So today, I actually deleted the bookmark, the email bookmark from my computer.
So now I have to be more intentional about checking email.
And that will help me be more focused.
Because today I was talking to my friend and it turns out we both do it.
We both first thing we get on the computer, we check our email,
and it's literally just a bunch of junk that we don't need to see at the moment, just like newsletters.
And just basically us distracting ourselves from the real work.
So what I did was delete the email.
And now I have to manually search for my email account in order to check it.
No, but I'm really excited because it seems like a lot of things are a lot of stars are aligning
because when I first was getting into entrepreneurship, I wasn't really I realized that I couldn't make money until I was 18.
And so I just kind of tried to build my business and build a foundation.
So then when I'm ready to make money, I'll be able to have like an email list to send emails to.
But I just I stopped doing that. I didn't really focus on that.
And instead, I just focus on learning more and more.
And I was actually making my podcast, but I wasn't really making it for my business in the beginning.
I was making it for the business, but then it turned into me just wanting to document my journey.
Positive feedback loop formed.
And then now I'm realizing that I'm actually starting to build an audience.
So once here, I'll actually look up.
No, I'm actually not going to look it up because I told you guys yesterday that I wasn't going to check my email
and I wasn't going to check go on my computer until I wasn't going to go on my computer at all during the podcast.
So I'm not going to check.
You guys can do the math. It's four days and one month.
So so today is the August 13th. My birthday is on September 17th.
And so four days and one month until my birthday, and then I'll be able to like process payments,
like create a company bank account.
And four days and one month is like maybe 35 days, maybe 34 days around there, 33 to 35 days, maybe.
And that is.
When I was first starting, it was like 60 days until until my birthday.
So I had like 60 days to prepare.
But now it's just 34 days and I haven't done anything to prepare.
I've just been learning more and more.
But I feel as though all the stars are aligning to where I will be prepared.
Because this 34, this is episode 25, I think.
So I'll have posted 59 episodes.
So basically 60 episodes I'll have posted.
So I will definitely have a decent audience at that time.
So I'm really looking forward to that.
And 60 episodes on my 60th episode or my 59th episode, it'll be my birthday.
Twenty five.
Yeah, around there.
But it won't actually be my birthday until maybe episode like 64 or 65 releases.
Because I post I schedule like five days in advance.
And that's just how I do it, because I.
In the beginning, I wanted to build up like five days back up just in case I missed a
day.
But I haven't actually missed a single day since I started like.
Thirty nine days ago because I recorded 14 videos or 14 episodes I never posted, but
I haven't missed a single day in over like 39 days.
So I guess I don't really need the five days back up, but I like having it because it's
a cool feeling to have knowing that I have five days until you guys see it.
So then in five days, I'll have grown even more.
So then by the time you hear it, I'll have even more growth.
It's just the whole thing because you don't really grow that much in one day, but you
grow a lot in like seven days and you grow so much in a month.
And then so much way more in a year.
Like it's actually crazy how much you grow in a year.
Like one year ago today, I was still on like TikTok, I think.
No, not TikTok.
I was still watching YouTube and I still play video games.
But it's crazy how much you grow in like two years.
Two years ago, I was definitely on TikTok, I think.
Yeah, I'm excited for the future.
I'm going to be a good surfer.
I'm excited because it's like I've been working towards this stuff.
I didn't actually know that I was going to go surfing until a couple of weeks ago.
I actually talked about it in my first podcast about surfing.
And you know, and you know how people write New Year's resolutions in last year, like
last New Year's, so like eight months ago.
I wrote, I didn't write any New Year's resolutions, but I wanted to like track my stats or track
my progress.
So I wrote on the back of one of my notebooks, all of my all of the my current stats.
So like my benchpress, my like all my gym stats.
And then I also wrote how much I weighed.
A lot of different things I'm not really thinking about right now.
My diet, I was, I wrote down like just a lot of different things.
And one of the things I wrote down was my income.
And I wrote zero.
And I was just like, maybe it will go up to like a hundred or something like that.
Maybe I'll make a little bit more money.
But I wasn't really expecting anything, but I actually think that, I mean, one month ago,
I started focusing on entrepreneurship and I have four months until next year.
So pretty much four months of me only focusing on entrepreneurship.
If I've made this much progress in one month, yeah, I will definitely have, I will definitely
have a better change.
I'll have an increase in my income for sure in four months, because I'll also be graduated
in four months.
I graduate in four months.
That's awesome.
So then I'll, even if nothing, even if I don't get anything, I'll have an entire semester
to just focus 100% on business that I would have had to focus on school.
So I'll have an entire semester after that, focus all on business.
It'll just be like summer break for me, except during the school year.
It'll be a very long summer break, like six months.
And so I'll have like, I basically have like a whole year.
I mean, I have more than that, but I'm extremely confident in my abilities to be able to become
financially free and financially independent in the near future within a year.
I mean, honestly, I'm looking for within like four months by the time I graduate, but I
know expectations don't always come true.
I mean, if you just look at the order of events, I started on like maybe a month and a half
ago is when I first started looking into entrepreneurship seriously.
And that's when I first started learning about it and studying it.
Like seriously studying it.
Like I was reading the millionaire fast lane, but I wasn't actually focusing on entrepreneurship.
I was reading a bunch of other books.
And so it's really only been like a month of me only focusing 100% on entrepreneurship.
And I've already made so much progress.
My comfort zone is way further.
And I know how to expand my comfort zone very easily.
Yeah, there's no way I can fail.
And it's funny because you know, I'm just gonna say it.
Nevermind.
I can't do that.
All right.
Oh, so there's this book.
So I got an email from Russell Brunson.
I'm not sure if I talked about this yesterday.
I might may or may not have I'm not sure.
But yesterday I got an email from Russell Brunson.
He just sent it to his whole list.
Because I got an email on my other email account that I am signed up to on his list as well.
So he sent an email to his whole thing talking about the three secrets books, like dot com
secrets, expert secrets, and traffic secrets, and how there is one thing that he left out.
And it was just like a very good marketing like the video was very well made.
And then I bought the book.
And the upsell was Funnel Hacking Live.
So since I'm going to Funnel Hacking Live, and I bought the book, I predict that that
book is going to be like the content of that book is going to be talked about at Funnel
Hacking Live.
So I bought I bought the book, and I'm definitely going to be reading that book.
Once I'm done with extra secrets.
And then once I'm done reading through dot com secrets again.
I'm going to read that book and figure out all of its secrets because if he is trying
to sell that book.
Because he he sent like two emails within two days to sell that book.
So he's serious about it.
And the upsell is Funnel Hacking Live.
So I feel like that will prepare me a lot for Funnel Hacking Live.
And even I'll learn the secrets so I can apply it to my life and business and other people's
businesses.
And that book is called The Lynch Pin.
And it's currently it's only being sold on his funnel.
So I'm not sure if he's going to publish it.
But it's being sold on his funnel.
It's like $7 is a free plus shipping funnel.
And it's just him trying to funnel people into buying the Funnel Hacking Live tickets.
But I'm definitely read that book and I'll let you guys know if it's good or not.
I hope that it's structured in the same way a normal book is because when I bought the
30 days book, it also came also in that package came with a Funnel Hackers cookbook.
Which I don't see myself really using.
And I don't really like the structure of it.
It's like a spiral notebook kind of feel.
I don't really like that.
I hope that the Lynch Pin is a normal book, but doesn't matter.
I'm going to read it anyways.
So over the past couple weeks, I haven't really been focusing on lifting.
I've just been going to the gym every day and then lifting, but not really thinking
about lifting or anything like that.
But now that I'm changing my routine to what I talked about earlier, where I'm going to
the gym after school in the afternoon around 1, I'm really excited to try it out.
Tomorrow is going to be my first test run of the new routine.
And I'm excited to go to the gym at 1.
That will give me so much time in the morning to study.
Yeah I'm going to start drinking a lot more water.
Currently I'm drinking a lot of water.
Like my pee is always clear.
But I'm going to start drinking more water and putting a lot more salt in my foods.
So currently I'm not adding salt to my burgers.
Like I eat four ground beef burgers every day, but I never add salt because it's just
inconvenient.
So I'm going to start adding salt now.
I'm going to add salt to my rice.
I'm going to add salt.
I already add salt to my eggs.
I'm going to add more salt to my eggs and my chicken.
Just going to eat a lot more salt.
In my first glass of water every day I always put a bunch of salt.
I'm going to add more.
More more more.
Because that will be able to allow me to drink more water probably.
And then I'll be better prepared for the gym.
Speaking of water, I'm going to get some more water right now because I'm thirsty.
So, I always was decently well hydrated.
But it wasn't until I bought a metal water bottle where it kept the water cold.
It wasn't until I bought that until I was actually like very well hydrated all the time.
Because I would just keep filling it up throughout the day and just constantly drink out of it
all the time.
I carry it with me all the time.
When I'm studying I have it near me.
When I'm podcasting I have it near me.
You guys always hear me open it I'm pretty sure.
I don't know.
I never listen to these podcasts.
But that's like, that's, you guys definitely should get it.
I recommend getting 100% metal.
Like 100% aluminum.
Because plastic is bad for you and you don't want that touching your water.
So I recommend a water bottle called Super Sparrow.
And you can get it on Amazon.
And I have the black coated one.
But if I was getting a brand new one I would buy the no color.
I would buy the aluminum one.
Just no color because the black one might have chemicals on it.
And the aluminum one is just cooler looking anyways.
So that's what I would recommend you guys do.
Get that water bottle.
So I'm probably going to buy another.
So right now I use a small like handheld travel size notebook for my business.
And I use it to write notes down while I'm podcasting.
And I'm going to buy another one soon for my business because this one's almost through.
It'll be like the first notebook that I actually get through.
But I'm also going to buy a second one as well for school.
Because it will help me write down notes for school because I've been writing down notes
just throughout the day on my notebook just about life.
And I feel like it'll be a lot more useful during school to write down my like information
that I learn, important stuff, and like homework and stuff.
So that'll help me.
But also going into the school year I'm going to get straight A's because I only have two
classes and a gym.
But I'll get straight A's but I'm not going to focus on school at all.
I'm going to be an excellent model student but I'm not going to focus on school at all.
I'm just going to go to school, focus 100% on school while I'm there for two periods,
and never think about it outside of school.
But I'll be the best student.
It's actually, that's my plan.
That's kind of what I did last semester.
And last semester I wasn't even meditating.
And now I'm meditating so my focus is a lot higher.
And I'll be able to sit down and do stuff.
And I just am a lot better off.
So I'm going to get straight A's.
And yeah.
So if you guys are getting into business and trying to learn about entrepreneurship, the
couple of books that I would recommend reading is number one, Unscripted by M.J.
DeMarco.
Number two, Deep Work.
I never, no I never read Deep Work but my friend did and I also heard about it all over
the place.
And by, I wish that I read it.
I'm probably not going to read it any time soon if I do read it.
But that's what I recommend reading.
And then I also recommend after that I would look, I would read Dotcom Secrets by Russell
Brunson.
And then after that I would read Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson.
And then after that Traffic Secrets by Russell Brunson.
And if you haven't read Reality Transurfing I would read that first.
I'd read it.
Millionaire Fastlane first but then Reality Transurfing.
And then do Deep Work and then Dotcom, then Expert, then Traffic.
Reality Transurfing is huge.
It's not a business book but it's a life book.
And it's just important for life and for business.
All these claims that I've made are going to come true because I'm following the principles
of Reality Transurfing.
Now let me be 100% honest.
Currently I'm not following the principles of Transurfing.
I am trying my best and that's all that really matters.
You focus on it and then because I'm just breaking bad habits, breaking old habits and
that's how it is.
When you first read it you're not going to change overnight.
It just takes time to change to be able to adopt the habits and turn them into new positive
habits.
And that's basically what I'm doing right now.
That's why I'm studying it so I can change my subconscious to make better decisions.
And I'm practicing in real life positive habits from Reality Transurfing.
And me following those will allow me to achieve my goals.
Like wait, it's actually going to get crazy.
I'm going to skyrocket.
I'm calling it right now.
My growth is going to skyrocket very soon.
Maybe in a week, maybe in a month, maybe in a year.
I don't know.
But I just know that soon my income, my life, and everything is going to skyrocket.
There's just going to be a moment where I click.
Or there will be multiple moments where I click.
And currently I'm having plenty of those.
Like episode 14 was one of my first moments where I clicked.
And then episode 21 was the second moment where I clicked.
So those were six, seven episodes apart.
So who knows, maybe episode 28 I will have another click.
I don't know.
No way to know.
And having an expectation will probably make it worse and create balancing forces, or create
excess potential.
So that's bad.
But what I'm saying is the more and more clicks that I get, the more and more times I have
clicks, moments where I click, and just things make sense and things shift in me, the closer
I get.
And right now, I mean I'm already guaranteed to go to Funnel Hacking Live.
Because even though I don't have the funds right now, I'm just going to be able to get
there.
No worry.
And then going to Hawaii, moving to Hawaii and buying the house for like $400k right
next to the beach.
And then just surfing.
That will come after that.
I'm trying to set it up.
I'm trying to do it like Christmas break.
That would be perfect.
Like once I graduate I'll do that.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
And really, all these things I'm hearing, once you get one funnel that works, you're
already through.
Like you're one funnel away.
That's what Russell Brunson says.
You're just one funnel away.
I actually just looked at his cookbook, which is on my desk, and it's literally on the top
of the page.
It says you're just one funnel away.
Isn't that true?
That's why I'm studying so much of his work.
Because I know that once I get one funnel, I'm through.
And the smarter I am at his work, the smarter I am at funnels and marketing and all this
stuff, the sooner the one funnel will happen.
So I just need one funnel.
I'm one funnel away.
My phrase is you're one funnel away from Hawaii.
That's awesome.
One funnel away from Hawaii.
I'm moving to Hawaii, baby.
I haven't told my parents, but I will.
And I haven't told them about going to Florida either, but I will once I get the funds.
I'm just waiting until I get my first sale, my first funnel that I sell to a business,
and then I'll tell them.
And I'll buy the tickets.
Well we already bought the tickets to Funnel Hacking Live.
We spent $2,000, but we'll buy the plane tickets.
And honestly, there's no rush.
I got like 40 days until Funnel Hacking Live.
Just let outer intention work.
Let the world do its work.
The world will take care of it.
I just gotta keep moving one foot forward.
Put one foot in front of the other.
That's what he says in Transurfing.
Put one foot in front of the other.
Yeah, but I'm really looking forward to the future because right now I feel like the only
thing holding me back in my podcasting, well there's two things.
One, I'm still not that great of a podcaster, but that just comes with practice.
So that just coming passively, I'll passively get better.
And two, second thing is my microphone quality.
So that will instantly fix.
Hopefully tomorrow it comes, and if not, on the next day.
So yeah, those are like the only two things holding me back from becoming a great podcaster.
Because I already got the consistency thing on lock.
I'm not gonna just give up suddenly.
I've already had two days where I wanted to skip that day and do it the next day.
And I already talked about it on the podcast.
And I just kept going through.
So it's just gonna get easier from here.
And if it doesn't, then I'll still push through because it's not that hard.
Now I'm already in the top 1% of podcasters.
Which is very inspiring because if you guys are looking to become a podcaster and you
think the market's saturated, well it only takes 21 episodes to get past 99% of the competition.
Which is crazy.
That's absolutely insane to think about.
21 episodes and you're past 99% of the competition.
If you post daily, that's just 21 days.
And honestly if I was starting out, I mean this is what I did.
If I were you, I would post daily and then progressive overload until you get to like
one hour episode.
So like start at like a two minute episode.
Like my first episode was like three minutes, the trailer.
And then just get longer and longer and longer until you get to an hour.
And then once you get to an hour, just focus all of the rest of your podcast to be an hour
long and then once the timer hits one hour, then just start to wrap it up from there.
Maybe it'll go like 10 minutes longer.
Maybe it'll go 10 seconds longer.
It doesn't really matter.
Like right now, my thoughts are becoming, starting to go to an end.
And I actually have a timer, a digital timer that I use, a stopwatch.
I bought it on Amazon for like seven bucks.
Search like timer.
And then it's like a blue and a green square timer.
But now that my thoughts are coming to an end, I see that there's like 58 minutes and
50 seconds around left.
So unless something new pops up and I start getting into the flow again, I'm just like
going to stall out until one more minute passes and then around like 55 seconds, I'll say
my outro.
It's really that simple.
You just have to record every single day.
And it doesn't have to be perfect in the beginning.
My beginning episodes were not perfect at all.
And I'm sure that this episode is not perfect at all.
And like comparing to in 60 episodes.
So in like 60 days, I'm sure this episode will seem terrible.
And that's just how it works.
I mean my most, my best episodes is 14 and 21.
And I'm sure in like 10 episodes, I'll create another one that's even better than those
and those ones will seem terrible compared to that one.
Well, one because those ones have terrible audio quality, but to the next one will have
a better microphone and even over about getting a software because over time, I didn't actually
get a software until I hit like episode 15 when my when I got my first hour long episode.
And it's because on my voice recorder, yeah, I literally use a voice recorder on my voice
recorder.
It and it probably happened like 25 seconds ago, you notice that it like cuts off.
And then it starts recording again, but it's like a new file.
So I had to get a software to like combine those and I use podcast or AI.
I just bought like the yearly plan on accident.
I meant to buy the monthly plan, but I forgot I was rushing into the purchase and the yearly
plan was just the first thing that it was the default and I just bought it.
I was gonna buy the monthly but it's fine.
It doesn't really matter.
To wrap things up, don't forget to download your favorite episodes and subscribe to the
ascend momentum show.
But before you guys leave, make sure to remember the Eagles.
