1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Hard crack.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,140
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening everybody, and welcome to today's episode of

3
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:09,100
the Never Peak Project Podcast.

4
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:13,080
I'm your host, Coach Ranger, and today I'm just going to be talking a little bit about

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,720
my week, things that I've done, what I think is working, what I think is not working, and

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,440
just reflecting a little bit on the week that I've had.

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,980
So I'm going to go ahead and first things first, pull up my calendar so I can actually

8
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:29,640
remember everything.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,440
And during today's episode, I'm going to be sipping on some Athletic Brewing Company,

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,880
the Run Wild IPA.

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,200
This one, they're flagship brews.

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,320
Again, I'm an ambassador for athletic brewing.

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,160
If you'd like to get yourself a case or just try out a few different flavors, be sure that

14
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:49,000
you use the code down in the description, and your K20 at checkout, and you'll get 20%

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,160
off your first order.

16
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,680
Now they have a bunch of different flavors, a bunch of different types.

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,080
They have a Whitspeak, which is very similar to a Blue Moon.

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,480
They have their regular IPAs, which right now I'm drinking the regular, a little bit

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,000
more of a stronger IPA earlier.

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,720
I drink the Upside Dawn.

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,280
They're just really good drinks to kind of have, relax.

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,480
I mean, I don't drink, I am sober.

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,560
So kind of helps me.

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,320
I really like the taste of alcohol, which is funny, but I don't like the feeling of

25
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:18,320
it.

26
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:23,400
So being able to enjoy a nice brew without the hangover and feeling gross is fantastic.

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,960
But that's just my little plug for them.

28
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:31,400
Again, I'm an ambassador, so I do get points towards brews, but I don't get paid for it.

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,040
So I think I have to legally say something like that.

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,640
But anyway, getting into my week.

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,840
So the very first thing that I did this week that was on my calendar was an interview with

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,360
a podcast called Behind the Brand.

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,520
The host, Maya, was fantastic.

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,160
I'll go ahead and link that interview down the show notes, but it was really good.

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,480
Her focus is very similar to mine in that she is more so focused on the person behind

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,480
the mission.

37
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Again, the podcast is called Behind the Brand.

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,760
So we talked a lot about who I am, why I got into coaching, really just the genesis of

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,800
within range and the walk across America.

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,280
So she was a great host and I really enjoyed being on the show.

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,680
So thank you, Maya, for letting me hang out with you for a little bit.

42
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,680
Yeah.

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,040
Then there was just a lot of networking events going on this week.

44
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,320
I went to the BRN Business Referral Network through the San Mateo Area Chamber of Commerce

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,640
on Tuesday and again, just a great meeting.

46
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,400
I really, really enjoyed these networking events that you go every single week, you

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,440
talk to people and it's really about building up that no like and trust system.

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,560
Being able to say, hey, I know a chiropractor that would be good.

49
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,600
I know an accountant, a roofer, an attorney, like just knowing all these different people

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,520
really helps I think being in business yourself.

51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,880
I would say that one of the biggest benefits of being in a referral network is just on

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,360
the personal side.

53
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,280
You're able to reach out to a plethora, a ton of different people that are in all these

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,880
different industries.

55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,000
As an example, around this time last year, November, December, I was in an accident in

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,200
my car where my vehicle was totaled.

57
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,480
They hit the back door, but it was just such a low value vehicle that the insurance company

58
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,400
just said that I was totaled.

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,560
So that was super stressful.

60
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,560
I didn't know where to go.

61
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,800
I didn't know what to do, but I knew that in my referral network, the Gold Star Referral

62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Clubs that there was a car salesman.

63
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,920
So I called him up, told him what was going on, told him my budget, what I was looking

64
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:26,000
for.

65
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
And within a few days, he was able to get me into a car.

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,640
And it was just really good knowing that I could go to him.

67
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:35,640
I could trust him that he wasn't going to screw me over, that I wasn't going to be like

68
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,120
that traditional weird use car salesman tactics.

69
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,480
Because it's also like when you're in these groups, it's like everybody is vetted and

70
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,080
kind of held accountable to certain ethical standards by everybody else in the group.

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,920
So just being able to do that, knowing that I wasn't going to get some junker car that

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,720
was going to get something good at a good value really helps out a lot.

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,960
So I would say on the personal side, just being in one of those referral networks so

74
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,640
that you can easily go to an accountant that you can talk to a real estate agent, etc.

75
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,440
Really just helps out a ton.

76
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,480
And on the business side of it, knowing who these people are so you can refer them to

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,760
your clients or those around you helps out a ton.

78
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,760
That same use car guy.

79
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320
I was able to send my mom to him not that long ago.

80
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,720
I think about two weeks ago, her transmission went out in one of her vehicles and I just

81
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,520
gave her Nico's number, sent her on over and within a few hours she had a new car.

82
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,200
So that just helps out a ton.

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,960
Kind of something that I was told when I was looking into being a real estate agent before

84
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,240
coaching was to be the guy that knows a guy is to build up your Rolodex of contacts so

85
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440
that should one of your clients ever need help.

86
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,480
You're able to just say, Hey, talk to this guy.

87
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Hey, talk to this guy.

88
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Hey, talk to this person.

89
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,320
It really just helps kind of position you as someone with connections while also being

90
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,240
of service to others to make sure that everybody kind of gets the solutions and products that

91
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,640
they actually need.

92
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:05,320
So that's my little, I don't know, love explanation of these referral networks and networking groups.

93
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,600
And one of the other things that I went to that day was called the Coastside Chamber Mixer

94
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,360
in Half Moon Day.

95
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,720
And what I really enjoyed about that was it was a nice small intimate group where I was

96
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,720
able to see people.

97
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,800
There were a few people that were at an event I was at last week called Passion of Purpose.

98
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,240
And I think the really the big benefit of this event was I saw people that I have seen before

99
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,560
and not only have they seen my face, they heard a little bit about me.

100
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,560
So they were kind of primed to have more of a deeper discussion with me.

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,040
It wasn't just very surface level.

102
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,840
We were able to get a little bit deeper on what I do, who I am and same thing with them.

103
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,200
So I think that again, this is just my ode to keep showing up, keep going to different

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,200
networking events.

105
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,800
You never know who you're going to meet or who you're going to see again.

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,840
So I think it's also very important to maintain a good image every time you go to one of these

107
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,120
events that you're well put together, that you're well spoken, just to make sure that

108
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,960
you can continue to foster relationships as time goes on.

109
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,960
And something really cool and exciting is in the works from those conversations at this

110
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,480
Half Moon Day event.

111
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,480
But I'm going to wait to talk about a little bit more until it's finalized just to make

112
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,760
sure I don't jinx myself and get all messed up.

113
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:20,800
I did a couple of wonder ones and I had a call with my client that day.

114
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,520
Moving into Wednesday, this one was a super busy day.

115
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,640
I started off by doing the weekly accountability call in my community on school called Neverpeak,

116
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,920
the first steps.

117
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,800
So what it is is every Wednesday at 8am, I hop on a call with the people in my school

118
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,800
community and we talk about what we have going on in our lives.

119
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,880
We talk about any trials that we're coming up against.

120
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,360
We kind of help each other out, offer advice and make committed action to the next week

121
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440
and kind of work in a way to hold each other accountable.

122
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,120
And I have people in the group that own their own business that are doing side projects

123
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,640
that work in a family business, school community leaders themselves.

124
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,960
So it's a nice mix of people where all of us have very similar interests and problems

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,000
that we're facing, which also means that we're able to help each other out in a very fun

126
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,440
and unique way.

127
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,880
So if you're interested, be sure that you hit the link in the description.

128
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,600
One of the very first links that we have is just school.com forward slash never dash

129
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,600
peak.

130
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Join the community.

131
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Right now it's free.

132
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,600
The price will be added at the beginning of the new year.

133
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,080
So get in now so they can walk in that free rate for the rest of forever.

134
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,000
And then the next thing that I did was hop on another school call with one of my friends

135
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,920
on school named Holly.

136
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,240
Her school community will also be linked down in the description.

137
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,160
It's aligned to succeed.

138
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,560
And again, what I really enjoyed about her group is that we are so similar and I guess

139
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,680
aligned and a lot of our values.

140
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,640
So while we're similar, we are different in a few key ways, but I just want to kind of

141
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,080
give her a shout out because she also does a mastermind call every week where people

142
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,720
hop on from all different countries, which is I think is cool and unique about her group.

143
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,880
While most people in my group are in the US or but just having different variety of people

144
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:03,880
is always good.

145
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,120
So I would just say that that's another ode to being in multiple spaces and places so

146
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,360
that you can kind of meet and interact different people all across the globe.

147
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,520
The next thing that I did was focus on my podcast.

148
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,120
I did a lot of editing for my episode with Paul, the episode that went up this week about

149
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,560
the benefits or the discussion about sobriety.

150
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,880
So that was a really great call.

151
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,160
I think that the really the biggest takeaway for me is that it's not necessarily about

152
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,640
pushing people to be sober or pushing people to believe the same thing that you believe,

153
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,840
but about working with folks to help them decide what they want their relationship with

154
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:47,400
anything to be, whether it's alcohol, food, weight loss, diet, exercise, really just anything,

155
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,560
making sure that people are kind of working in stride and tandem with their values and

156
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:54,520
what they want to actually create from their life.

157
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,760
So that was a fantastic conversation.

158
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,000
And if you want to listen to that, it was the last episode in the audio feed and on

159
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
the YouTube channel.

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,200
So be sure to check that out.

161
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,520
That night, Julie and I did our first wedding Wednesday day.

162
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,560
So as you guys may know, my fiance and I, Julie, I proposed to her at the beginning of the

163
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:13,280
year in January.

164
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:18,200
And now that I'm back from the walk, we are in full on wedding planning mode.

165
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,840
So what we've been doing, this is our very first one and we kind of want to maintain

166
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,520
this, try to do this every Wednesday if we can, but just do something that we call wedding

167
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,040
Wednesday where we set up time, we put in our calendars, make sure that we go out, we

168
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,160
have dinner, get some coffee or some kind of sweet treat dessert after.

169
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,960
But it's really about going over wedding plans, you know, the whole guest list, making sure

170
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,640
that we invite everybody that needs to be invited that we want there, going over the

171
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:52,360
different proposals that we have, proposals for the wedding venues and kind of deciding

172
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,720
what we want for our wedding.

173
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,760
We still have a ton of time or plan this to have our wedding in, I think end of summer

174
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,280
2026 is kind of one of the dates that we've been playing around with like July, August

175
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,280
ish.

176
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,200
Nothing is set in stone just yet.

177
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,560
We still have to figure out a few more things, but that was something that we've been doing

178
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:14,800
and it really just helps with connection, making sure we're aligned and that we're having

179
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,080
that open communication.

180
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,800
The next thing Thursday was insane.

181
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,560
On Thursday, I woke up bright and early, 730am, I had my Toastmasters meeting where I gave

182
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,960
a speech about the first steps of my walk across the country.

183
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,560
And the feedback that I got was I had fantastic storytelling throughout the entire speech from

184
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:40,800
how I learned about the walk to me being on the airplane and feeling those doubts creep

185
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,920
in again to how I learned that the walk was possible by hearing about Mark and Andrew's

186
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,400
walk all the way up until I took my first steps.

187
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:57,640
But where that speech fell flat is the very ending felt very cold and structured.

188
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,800
I kind of read off the last paragraph from my notes because I had a hard time memorizing

189
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,320
it and the feedback that I got was just maintaining that storytelling element and aspect throughout

190
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760
the entire speech onto the end.

191
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,840
So it kind of took people out of the very ending when they saw me reading it, verbatim

192
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,080
off of a sheet.

193
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,480
So that is something that I'm going to retry next month and what I'm going to do is record

194
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:23,680
it and post it on the podcast as well as maybe the feedback of my evaluator for the

195
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:24,680
day.

196
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:27,520
I think that that would be interesting if they would be comfortable with that.

197
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:33,960
So stay tuned for that, but it won't happen until the mid-end of December.

198
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:41,240
Then I had three Zoom one to ones all with people that I've met in the peninsula area

199
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,240
so far.

200
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,960
So what all I do is whenever I meet somebody, I have their business card, I send them a

201
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,200
follow-up email, hey, my name is Ranger.

202
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Was great meeting you at Blank.

203
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,680
I'd love to set up a one-to-one to learn more about your business.

204
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:58,720
And the reason I like doing that is even if I were to talk to somebody for 10, 15, 20

205
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,920
minutes at a networking event, I have found that it is very difficult to hear everything

206
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,200
they're saying.

207
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,800
We're trying to do our elevator pitch, trying to get information across very quickly and

208
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,800
clearly.

209
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,800
And I feel like a lot is lost when you're in those environments because everybody wants

210
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,400
to talk to everybody.

211
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,560
There's people there that they know, but when you're kind of locked in on a Zoom call, it

212
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:22,200
really helps you learn more about the person themselves.

213
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,760
I'm not just there to talk business.

214
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,720
I also do want to talk a little bit about them, learn who they are.

215
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,760
So that one, if I do find somebody that resonates with their business and what their service

216
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,240
or product is, I can easily refer them, but also so that they get to know me as well and

217
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,080
learn more about what I do.

218
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,160
So there's a little quick tidbit.

219
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,680
I've talked about it on other podcasts, but I really do think that doing these one-to-ones

220
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:46,680
is super valuable.

221
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:50,720
And it's something that I picked up from Goldstar.

222
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,640
The other thing that I did was I went to a B&I referral and network meeting and I really

223
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,640
enjoyed it.

224
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,400
They're a decent size group, almost 20 strong.

225
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,600
The only downside for that is they're about 30-ish minutes away from where I live, which

226
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,440
is the same thing for the Coastside Chamber.

227
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,280
So it's not like it's not something I'm already doing.

228
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,520
It's just another thing I have to drive to.

229
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,720
But I do really do see the value in referral networks, so I'm more than likely like 95%

230
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,200
going to join.

231
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,040
The other thing I went to that night was the Fast Signs ribbon cutting in San Mateo.

232
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,640
Fast Signs is a printing shop in San Mateo and they just had their one-year anniversary

233
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,640
ribbon cutting.

234
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,120
So I just want to stop by, show my support, show face, see people.

235
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,000
And I did see people from other events that I've been to, B&I, some San Mateo Chamber

236
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
events, and I think somebody from the Half Moon Bay Chamber as well.

237
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,840
So it was just kind of nice to be able to go see people in a more relaxed environment.

238
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,080
What I did like is they also had non-alcoholic drinks there, like Loginitas.

239
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,000
So I thought that that was a cool little touch.

240
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,520
So I appreciated that.

241
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:04,560
And today I was on the Half Moon Bay Radio with Chris Thlin, the CEO for the Half Moon

242
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:05,840
Bay Chamber of Commerce.

243
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,360
So that was really fun.

244
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,680
I'll see if I can put a link to the interview in the show notes.

245
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:13,680
I'm not sure if it was recorded or not, but we'll see what I can do there.

246
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:17,520
But I thought it was really nice to kind of hear a few people that called in, hear what

247
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:24,600
everybody has going on, and just really see that dynamic of radio come to life.

248
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,200
I was on the radio twice during my walk across the country, once in Little Rock, Arkansas,

249
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,560
and then another time in Socorro, New Mexico.

250
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,560
So those are really cool.

251
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,880
I really like the whole idea of being on radio.

252
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,120
I think I'm not quite used to it because I do say or do things that imply that people

253
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,920
and viewers can, or listeners, I guess, I think that's the issue, is that listeners can see

254
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,440
things that I'm doing.

255
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,160
But I'm sure there's times I do things on my own podcast, like I'm kind of about to do,

256
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,720
where it's a little bit silly that I'm trying to do a visual, why people are listening to

257
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,120
the audio version.

258
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,840
So that's just something that I noticed that was kind of funny that I want to kind of work

259
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,320
on.

260
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,360
And then for the rest of the day, I really just worked on business things.

261
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,960
I sent out some emails through MailChimp for the podcast episode with Paul, working on

262
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,640
getting everything together for next week.

263
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,720
I will be in another state.

264
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,920
I don't think I'm allowed to talk about what I'm doing.

265
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,920
I think I signed an NDA.

266
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:20,920
Oops.

267
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,600
But that's just a side gig that I'm doing to make a little bit of extra cash.

268
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,600
So I'll be out of the state for the next week.

269
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,200
So I just wanted to kind of get some things up and going to make sure that I am good to

270
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,040
go.

271
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:41,880
But other than that, not a whole lot in terms of updates for the week.

272
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,360
There is something that I kind of want to do in terms of a little bit of a fun thing,

273
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,840
which is just a hair update.

274
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,600
So I've been asked this before, but just kind of reiterate, I am growing out my hair and

275
00:15:53,600 --> 00:16:01,120
that's why I didn't tie it up today because I'm going to donate it to an organization

276
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,080
like Locks of Love or something else.

277
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,400
I think there's a few of them.

278
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,960
I think there's one you're not supposed to donate to for some reason.

279
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,160
So I just want to make sure that I know who I'm sending it to before I actually send it,

280
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,160
but we're not there yet.

281
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:19,840
And the reason that I'm donating my hair is one of my little cousins was diagnosed with

282
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,000
leukemia a few years ago.

283
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,880
He had this nice, beautiful afro, but it was lost due to treatment.

284
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,680
He has it back now, which is fantastic.

285
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,640
He's doing fine.

286
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,640
But when I saw that, I was just thinking to myself, like, wow, that is tragic.

287
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,240
Like that really does suck.

288
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,080
So what I want to do is something that's a little bit uncomfortable for me, which is

289
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:47,400
having long hair and kind of kind of growing myself while I grow out my hair to donate.

290
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,600
So it's just a little fun, I don't know, Ranger backstory, but that's what I'm growing out

291
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,600
my hair.

292
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:58,080
Typically, whenever I go out, I have a tied up with the, I don't know, this thing, a hair

293
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,080
tie.

294
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,400
I tied it up with that hair thing.

295
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,520
And I have it under a hat.

296
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,400
So a lot of people don't really realize that I have long hair until they see the little

297
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:12,360
man bun in the back, but that's why I have the long hair right now.

298
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:14,880
But let's see how long this puppy is.

299
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:21,360
I don't know if this is the best way to do it or not.

300
00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:25,840
This is one of those things that I'm doing that probably is a little bit silly on video,

301
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,440
but people on audio are like, what?

302
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280
Cool.

303
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,280
Right around 15.

304
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,120
15 inches.

305
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:40,680
So I think the minimum is about 12 or so.

306
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,360
So I think I'm already past the minimum for donating.

307
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:45,760
I do want to try to get 16, maybe 18 or so.

308
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,040
So probably a few more months before I actually chop it off and send it in.

309
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,080
I just want to make sure that I have plenty of hair because I think they also say try

310
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,080
not to send just the minimum because they have a lot of that.

311
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,600
So just try to grow it out as much as I can.

312
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,840
So that also when I cut it, I'm not completely bald.

313
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:07,360
But that's really all I have for this week is just a quick 20 minute update about what's

314
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:10,280
going on within range coaching and never peak.

315
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:15,160
So still on the hunt for clients, still looking for people, still trying to perfect my message

316
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,240
when I'm at these networking events.

317
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,240
But I think it's getting better.

318
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,360
And I think a lot of it right now is just the hurry up and wait game.

319
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:25,720
I've only been doing this full time for about two or three months now.

320
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,720
So what?

321
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,280
September, October, November.

322
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,360
So yeah, about two and a half months.

323
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:36,080
So a lot of it right now is to just keep showing up, making sure that you don't lose momentum.

324
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,520
So there's my weekly challenge for all of you just to make sure that you keep showing

325
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,520
up, never give up.

326
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,600
But that's really all I have for this week's episode.

327
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,000
Thank you so much for listening to my ramble for 20 ish minutes.

328
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,920
And as always, remember to never settle, never quit and never peak.

329
00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,920
I'll see you guys next week.
