20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Yeah, you do lots of different
things.

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Well, that they're not, they're
not all that.

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,300
Different.
Actually, it coaching and

23
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:04,000
speaking and chiropractic care
and healing.

24
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,400
One theme.
I see in all that is service is

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,900
that something that's always
been important to you.

26
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:13,500
Not always, you know, I really
started off as a mechanical

27
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,200
engineer and just got into Excel
is good at math and science and

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,100
I love dirt bikes and racing
snowmobiles and and then a few

29
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,400
years in I realized like I
really I loved my chiropractor

30
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,800
was getting a lot of great
results.

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,300
I didn't want to be stuck in a
cubicle for the rest of my life

32
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:30,300
doing engineering.
Earring.

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,800
And so that's what got me into
Chiropractic.

34
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:38,100
It was until a few years and
that I really realized how

35
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,100
attached I was to helping
people, you know?

36
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:44,500
And there's you think about like
if a dentist didn't tell you

37
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:48,100
about the toothbrush.
What a huge disservice, right?

38
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:52,100
And what I started seeing was
there's just so many other ways

39
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,200
to, like be of service to
people, to really, like, teach

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,900
them how to fish as opposed to
giving them the fish, you know,

41
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:00,300
all the metaphors and analogies.
There.

42
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:03,700
And so I didn't I don't think I
really stepped into being like

43
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:08,199
service focused or even being a
Healer until a few years after

44
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,500
being a doctor in a
chiropractor.

45
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,700
So so you experienced the power
of the healing, the gift and

46
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:16,700
then decided, oh, I want to
learn this and share it.

47
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,400
Absolutely.
Yeah, I got into a based on that

48
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,200
experience, and and I was also
referring like a ton of people

49
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,600
to my chiropractor and and so
there was a resonance with the

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,700
profession.
But the you know that question

51
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:32,400
about the The, the aspect of
service, I didn't really get

52
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,700
that till years after I had been
in, which is fascinating.

53
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:38,400
Yeah, it was.
It was it something you just,

54
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,900
you didn't know, you were
missing it until you experienced

55
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:46,500
it.
I think it was Like, you can be

56
00:02:46,508 --> 00:02:50,000
a mechanic and be a
chiropractor, right?

57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,900
Like here's what the here's the
tool.

58
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,900
Here's the mechanism.
Here's what I'm repairing, and

59
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:58,700
you can really just be.
It can just be another task,

60
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,100
right?
It can just be another tool that

61
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:04,900
you're using and I think that
piece of like offering healing

62
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:08,300
and and being of service I don't
think those are totally

63
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:11,400
connected and I think that's
where we get, you know, doctors

64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,100
that don't have good you know
bedside manner or doctors.

65
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:18,700
It really just Across does jerks
or, you know, doctors that are

66
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:21,800
doing the piece that benefits
their business, but doesn't

67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,800
totally benefit the patient, you
know.

68
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,900
And so I started seeing all
these different versions of

69
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,000
where, you know, maybe
chiropractors that were

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,100
resistant to referring to
Medical Doctors based on this,

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,700
you know, this artificial
boundary that was drawn versus

72
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:40,100
like what's best for the
patient.

73
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:43,500
But then I also really saw it
for other professions that

74
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:45,500
wouldn't refer to chiropractors
based on.

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Some artificial boundary not
what's best for the patient or

76
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,100
what the research says.
And so, you know, and to be

77
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:56,800
honest, there was a, there was a
ceremony, was in this healing

78
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,300
ceremony.
And I remember just starting to

79
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:03,000
like weep and I cried for quite
a long time, just thinking, you

80
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600
know, how do I help heal the
world, right?

81
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600
And and the next day I was like
wow that's not a question I ever

82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,400
really cared about like, I never
really cared about healing the

83
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,400
world and it there were just
these subtle shifts of like,

84
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,500
wow.
How can I Makes this beer bottle

85
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,500
patient.
How can I, you know, do the

86
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,900
other pieces that are necessary
and that's how the practice

87
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:26,800
expanded because, oh well, if I
can add in physical therapy to

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,400
Chiropractic, the results are
better.

89
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:32,900
If I can add in nutrition, if I
can bring a neuro linguistic

90
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:35,200
programming.
So the mindset shifts and

91
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,400
actually believes that they can
be well and that's how all these

92
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,300
other layers of coaching and
speaking, and NLP, and shamanic

93
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:45,500
work, and energy, work added.
It was like that next level.

94
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,900
Level it was right in front of
me of how I could be of service.

95
00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:51,100
That resonated with me.
There's a lot of stuff I refer

96
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:55,400
out for but those were the ones
that just like how could I not

97
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,600
do this?
You know, because in my

98
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,600
experience with chiropractors,
yeah, I've met plenty of that

99
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,100
are, you know, just mechanical
this do that and you'll feel

100
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,000
better.
And, and another group that a

101
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,700
really spiritual and it's
always, that is that more the

102
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:11,600
individual as opposed to the
training.

103
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,400
It's certainly the individual,
you know and with that there's

104
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,800
hundreds of Chiropractic
techniques and and in school,

105
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,800
what I noticed was people big
technique a, it's the best and

106
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,600
it was almost like supporting
your bet, your favorite football

107
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,100
team and everybody else sucks.
You know, there was that energy

108
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:34,600
and I didn't have that that like
my mindset wasn't focused in

109
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,400
that way.
I didn't come in knowing which

110
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,200
team was already the best.
And some, like, all of these

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,000
work, the Curiosity of me is
like, why do Them work.

112
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:47,500
So I would say, I was a worst
car was a worst chiropractor

113
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:52,400
during school because I wasn't
hyper focused in one area, but I

114
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,400
think what that offered me was
coming out of school, I brought

115
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,300
in a lot more variety so that I
could help a lot more people and

116
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:04,400
and could look at things from a
place that wasn't biased.

117
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,600
I think I looked at things from
a much more open perspective and

118
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,700
sometimes you know whether it's
for coaching healing you nobody

119
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:12,600
Minds.
It Whatever.

120
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Sometimes I'm not the best
person, you know, and I think my

121
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,600
curiosity about how do all the
things work, open me up to be a

122
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,500
little more flexible in.
Like, how do we, how do we get

123
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:27,400
you where you're wanting to go?
Not where, how can I push you?

124
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,600
Where I'm wanting to push you
right at you.

125
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,200
So, you mentioned this healing
experience in this weeping and

126
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:35,600
asking questions you would never
asked before.

127
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,600
So what got you to that state?
What brought you to that event

128
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,900
or experience?
Well I was going to say who

129
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:48,300
knows but I would say the the
thing that kind of pushed me

130
00:06:48,308 --> 00:06:50,600
over the edge.
So I got out of chiropractic

131
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,200
school in 2004, I didn't want to
practice like other

132
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,000
chiropractors.
I wanted to do things my way so

133
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,400
I started my own practice and
after a year you know I'd run

134
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,900
out a loan money like I didn't
know if I was going to make it

135
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:06,400
over that first year.
Entrepreneurial.

136
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,900
Hump and you know, these other
things that happen I got Of a

137
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:14,500
four-year relationship.
So I described that like a bad

138
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:18,400
country, western song like lost
my dog, lost my girl, lost my

139
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,700
house, I crashed a truck at the
end of that year and then, you

140
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:26,800
know, my chiropractic business.
I'm pretty sure it's not going

141
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200
to make it.
And so it was like this, like

142
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,300
this perfect storm of all these
horrible things happening.

143
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:38,400
And I think what opened up for
me was intuition observing

144
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,700
synchronicities?
I really started meeting these

145
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,400
people.
Unlike I had ever met before,

146
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,400
you know, I started getting
those like power of three out

147
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,500
here about it once.
Hear about it twice, the third

148
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:51,300
time I'm like, oh I'm supposed
to pay attention to this.

149
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:55,200
So I think this perfect storm of
all these like difficult life

150
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,400
situations like, put a crack in
my egg shell and started letting

151
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200
some some different type of
light in that I hadn't been

152
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,900
aware of before.
So was that similar to

153
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:09,500
Chiropractic in that you had
your experience of receiving

154
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,000
healing energy work and your
Kicked in and you want to learn,

155
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:17,000
you know how to do more of that
or receive more of that or there

156
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,800
were two different angles that
happen on that.

157
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,900
So partially you know I've got
these Chiropractic patients face

158
00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:25,900
down on the table.
And, you know, so I've got time

159
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,200
and space to do what comes to me
intuitively.

160
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,900
So I'd be up behind their back,
like moving energy during

161
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,900
extraction work.
I'd never heard of this seen it

162
00:08:35,900 --> 00:08:39,400
right about it, but this
intuitive other level of healing

163
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:46,100
came in the The other part of it
was I had at least been opened

164
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:49,000
up to kind of these esoteric
ideas.

165
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,400
So we're going to Barnes and
Noble and I was, you know,

166
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,000
reading for like eight hours.
I was, you know, spending like

167
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,300
12 hours on YouTube, just like
any word.

168
00:08:57,300 --> 00:08:59,900
I had never heard before, like
diving into these rabbit holes,

169
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:03,300
so the combination of those two
things and then I think the

170
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:07,000
third thing that was really
beneficial, I ended up meeting

171
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,700
just enough people that could
see and feel energy.

172
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:12,800
They knew what?
I was going through, they could

173
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,100
see what I was doing.
And so I had these like friends

174
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:19,800
and mentors to kind of support
me with where I was at and

175
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,400
moving forward.
And that really opened it up.

176
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,900
And probably the next thing that
was a big mover was I started

177
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,500
having these intuitions about
traveling through Central

178
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,500
America and so learning to being
for specific intuitions.

179
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:38,000
I eventually went on that trip
and when I was on that trip,

180
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,100
that opened up a whole other
other level of direction that I

181
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:46,300
moved into, but it was really
about falling.

182
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:48,600
Those intuitions and
synchronicities and started

183
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,100
showing up that time as well.
Until that point, were you

184
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,200
conscious of your own intuition?
Was that a word that you use?

185
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,600
No, no II was.
I was this kid from Wyoming.

186
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,200
I was into sports and dirt bikes
and and even with Chiropractic

187
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,500
there's a very intuitive side
of, you know, there's muscle

188
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:09,500
testing and there's all these
things that are done.

189
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,300
I was like the extreme.
Opposite like total

190
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:16,600
research-driven total, you know,
can it be proven?

191
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,700
And is there data?
Yeah, so, like, until I would

192
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:24,500
say this spiritual awakening
happen that there was not a part

193
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:29,900
of my life that was any of that.
So, in hindsight with you losing

194
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:32,200
everything, what do you, what
was the trigger?

195
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,100
What was the opening was, it you
lost so much that like you gave

196
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:37,400
up trying to be in charge or
what do you think it was?

197
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:41,100
Yeah, I think there was a crack
that was created there and as

198
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,300
we're talking about there were
all those things that are in

199
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:46,400
motion.
And and I would say, the last

200
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,300
thing that pushed it over the
edge and I just, I don't always

201
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:52,000
share this piece, but the way
you're asking the question,

202
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,400
necessitates it all those things
were happening.

203
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,500
All this stuff was opening up
and then after the auto

204
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:02,100
accident, after the relationship
after, you know, thinking was

205
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:05,400
going to lose the business.
I end up meeting this new friend

206
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,800
and he's like, yeah.
Do you want to do a much?

207
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:10,300
Shroom ceremony.
Right?

208
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:16,000
And that I said yes to and that
would be the thing that probably

209
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,100
opened up the dam.
Like all the other stuff was

210
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:24,100
moving before that but after
that things really opened up and

211
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:27,700
and shifted from that point.
So you following synchronicities

212
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:29,600
listening to your cell, your
inner wisdom, more and more.

213
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000
And then that was the big action
that change things.

214
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:38,100
That was a big action and if I'm
being honest like yeah, he gave

215
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:40,900
me a plate of mushrooms.
As a doctor, I knew it couldn't

216
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:46,400
kill me as as a guy that had,
you know, maybe done mushrooms

217
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,800
two or three times.
I was like, oh, that's enough to

218
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,000
feed a rugby team, but that's
going to be my portion.

219
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
And so it was definitely a
heroic dose and it from there

220
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:02,100
things just like I had this
insatiable curiosity about all

221
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:04,000
these things.
And so that's you know really

222
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,200
what was then driving me to
Barnes and Noble and YouTube and

223
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:11,800
and Google search.
Each has its might.

224
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,900
So I first discovered energy,
working like 2008, and my first

225
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:19,000
training was in 2010 and it was
in Colorado.

226
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,100
And remember, flying out and
being in Boulder Colorado and

227
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,200
seeing signs that said, energy,
work.

228
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,700
And I was like, oh my God, what
sort of like mystical places

229
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:28,300
this?
I've never seen that before.

230
00:12:28,300 --> 00:12:30,800
So I haven't talked about how,
you know, there's a time when

231
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,000
Chiropractic was seen as very
Fringe and now there's a

232
00:12:33,008 --> 00:12:34,500
chiropractor.
I'm like every street corner and

233
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:37,000
a yoga studio and every street
corner and just getting more and

234
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,600
more like energy work is being
that prevalent to But yeah, do

235
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,200
you find that?
Absolutely well, and when I had

236
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,900
my Spiritual Awakening, because
you, and I talked about this

237
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:48,600
earlier, I believe you were in
Boulder with with that couple

238
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,900
doing the training.
I was about an hour north, and

239
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:53,600
for Collins, and it was so
awesome.

240
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,000
Like, I wake up spiritually and
all of a sudden there was this

241
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,900
thing.
It was evenings with

242
00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:01,500
extraordinary people that this
woman was putting on up here and

243
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:08,800
so like Alan: Sonia.
Choquette like Donna, my God,

244
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,100
the Donna virtue, the angel
woman, like all these, you know,

245
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:16,000
massive spiritual speakers are
coming up and doing these

246
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,600
speaking events, right?
Where I'm living and all of a

247
00:13:19,608 --> 00:13:24,500
sudden, I'm like oh this woman I
met at the art store is also a

248
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,900
shamanic healer.
And oh the the guy that I went

249
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:31,500
to for counseling also does
dream work and takes people to

250
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:36,800
Peru for medicine ceremonies.
Like it was like, it was how I

251
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,400
used to describe it.
Imagine walking through like a

252
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Toy store but you're just
looking down at the tile.

253
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,200
And at a certain point you look
up and you're like oh my God,

254
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,800
this entire store is filled full
of toys, right.

255
00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:51,700
Like I just lucked out, I think
in many ways and I woke up in a

256
00:13:51,708 --> 00:13:53,900
place where there was just a lot
of it.

257
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:57,900
So it was super supported and
and I do agree like you know

258
00:13:57,900 --> 00:13:59,700
even speaking about the medicine
stuff.

259
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:04,200
I've been hesitant about that
for 15 years because it was very

260
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,800
Fringe and I never wanted people
to be like oh he's not a good

261
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,700
doctor because he's Reckless
This with these other things,

262
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
but the reality is like
everybody's talking about

263
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,600
medicine.
Now, everybody's talking about

264
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,200
the benefits of meditation and
everybody's, you know, learning

265
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,800
about all the benefits of these
things that, you know, for

266
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,400
thousands of years have worked
and we just, you know, thought

267
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,000
ourselves to a place where we
didn't didn't believe in them.

268
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,200
Right.
So then we struck me that that

269
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,000
things that are new age are
really ancient and we just

270
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,400
rediscovering them and some
plenty of the new age.

271
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:41,300
Things that don't really work or
are consistent.

272
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:43,800
It's because someone found
something ancient and then

273
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800
Twisted the translation or, you
know, it's kind of it's

274
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,100
half-assed using of some ancient
wisdom or tools and stuff.

275
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:53,000
But yeah.
So you talked, you mentioned

276
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,300
intuition a lot and can you give
a definition like how, how would

277
00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:00,300
you tell the kid in Wyoming?
What intuition is now?

278
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,700
I think we all have experiences
with his, you know.

279
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:09,200
And so it's that You have the
idea that somebody is looking at

280
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,800
you and you turn around and make
eye contact with them or you

281
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,100
like, how what Steve been up to?
I haven't talked to that dude in

282
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:19,100
a decade and the phone rings,
and of course, it's Steve or,

283
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,400
you know, there's just all these
things that come in that we we

284
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,300
don't really know how we know it
but it shows up in our mind

285
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:31,000
anyway, you know, and and and I
think a lot of the best business

286
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
people out there, right?
They have a gut instinct or you

287
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,300
know, you lie.
Even meet somebody and you're

288
00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:40,300
like yeah I met them.
I got in relationship with them

289
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:44,300
for a few years but you'll
remember back to initially

290
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,000
meeting them and having that
intuition of why you shouldn't

291
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,400
move ahead that usually push
aside or ignore for whatever

292
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,700
whatever reason.
So, yeah.

293
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,500
I think we all have these and,
and it's just about how do we,

294
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,100
how do we combine a good solid,
you know, level of intelligence

295
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:05,000
and common sense but also blend
in intuition to really create,

296
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:07,600
you know, synergy Momentum and
ease and Grace.

297
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,700
Yeah, yeah, I find it a lot of
men.

298
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,400
They might poopoo away that
intuition word, but they will,

299
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,600
Oh They'll own their instincts,
they loan, I guess know things,

300
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,300
you know, insights but somehow
that words, you know, the like

301
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:26,100
many words for no real reason
that has gotten more of a I

302
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,300
guess more of a feminine slant
applied to it.

303
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:31,500
Perhaps it makes men not want to
own their intuition but yeah

304
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:34,600
that hunch the gut instinct.
All those things that yeah, the

305
00:16:34,608 --> 00:16:36,800
most successful people Do
recognize them.

306
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:39,000
Yeah.
Well, and, you know, and if we

307
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,100
were to be honest about it, I do
believe energetic.

308
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:44,900
We both we have masculine and
feminine with inside of it, you

309
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:48,300
know, within us.
I do believe intuition is more

310
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:53,300
of that magnetic or feminine
part of information coming in,

311
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:56,600
you know, and let's talk about
the, the toughest, dude, on the

312
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,700
Rugby field.
He intuitively knows how to be

313
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:01,800
where nobody else is to make
that tackle.

314
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,800
You know, who the best, you
know, Macho.

315
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:09,400
I'm from Colorado, Wyoming kind
of Montana area.

316
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,800
The best male hunter in the area
uses an intuition to know where

317
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,800
that animal is going to be at.
Like, there's all these things,

318
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,000
we can label, is Super Macho
masculine activities but the

319
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,300
people that are good at it's
because they're tapped into

320
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:25,800
something that's not just
thought, right?

321
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,100
It's not just knowledge.
Yeah and it's that feeling it

322
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:32,500
sensation that's beyond the five
senses, it did then you know,

323
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:36,300
wisdom that knowing the
synchronicities and it'll Isn't

324
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:39,900
until you're conscious of them.
It's, he's just ignoring poopoo

325
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:41,600
it just think.
Oh, I'm lucky or not.

326
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,700
Lucky like I, you know, but you
know, I come to believe they,

327
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:48,000
can we create our luck?
Yeah.

328
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,900
And, yeah, and I find that the
more I listened to my intuition,

329
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,100
the stronger.
It go.

330
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,900
Yeah, I really had what I'm
speaking from stage, I described

331
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,400
it as a muscle, right?
Whether it's Intuition or

332
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,700
courage or whatever it is like
when I first started waking up

333
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:05,900
spiritually, I would get that
intuitive hits.

334
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,900
I gotta grab your umbrella and I
would ignore it because it's

335
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:12,000
Colorado and it's like 300 days
of sunshine out here and then

336
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,400
we'll get rained on later that
day.

337
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,200
And I'm like, oh, it's tiny.
But this intuition gave me a

338
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,100
hint and and I was doing
construction was remodeling a

339
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,400
house at that time.
And there would be all these

340
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,100
hints about what tool I needed
or didn't need.

341
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,100
And so, I had all these little
like you know, who cares?

342
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:31,500
If you have to walk back to the
garage two or three times

343
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:35,300
really, but I had all these
little ways of really testing

344
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:37,000
and developing Being my
intuition.

345
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:41,300
That then, once you do that, I
think it's like trust, right?

346
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:44,400
You're not going to give three
ice cream Scoops to a kid that

347
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,300
can't even keep one ice cream
scoop on a cone, right?

348
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:51,100
And so as we develop those
smaller levels of trust and

349
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:54,200
action then I think the things
get bigger and it might turn

350
00:18:54,200 --> 00:19:00,300
into an investment or a move
across the country or you know,

351
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,000
something with with more
repercussion.

352
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:05,900
Yeah, I find it especially in
the beginning.

353
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,900
Being as you're trying to
discern discern what your

354
00:19:07,908 --> 00:19:11,200
intuition and what's not?
I always find my intuition is

355
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,300
like the softest voice.
Yeah.

356
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:15,300
And and the ego is like you
suck.

357
00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:18,700
And like the ego, the - talk I
have is like loud and clear.

358
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:20,400
And the intuition is soft like
almost trying to.

359
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,800
Hey, over here.
You know, that whispering a

360
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,100
shoulder service in.
It is a whisper what I wonder,

361
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:28,200
you know, and I don't to be
honest, I don't even know how

362
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,700
much of this, your listeners
know, because you and I had a

363
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:35,400
conversation last year and so I
know how intuitive you are and

364
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,500
and and for me, I feel like like
meditations almost that thing

365
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:43,700
that combines because I need to
keep my mind quiet enough that

366
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:47,400
it hears those Whispers, right?
Like if I have that inner

367
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,100
dialogue going so heavy, there's
almost no space and it's like

368
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:54,000
that, quiet friend.
You need to be quiet long

369
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,500
enough.
There needs to be a pause in the

370
00:19:55,508 --> 00:20:00,100
conversation for them to to
share because I wanted wanted to

371
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:03,100
ask you what are some ways to
cultivate or strengthen your

372
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,000
intuition.
So something we've already hit

373
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,600
Tation is one, I think
meditations one.

374
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,700
I also think I think we're
asleep of third of Our Lives.

375
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:15,000
You know, if you're sleeping
eight hours a night, that's one

376
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,100
third of your life.
I kind of think that's the most

377
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:22,000
egoic free place for the
universe to communicate with us

378
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,900
or our ancestors or our higher
self or even just our

379
00:20:24,908 --> 00:20:26,600
unconscious mind, right?
Whatever.

380
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,200
I don't have attachment about
where that information comes

381
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,300
from.
And if you think about dreams

382
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:36,300
like Albert Einstein's theory of
relativity came from dreams

383
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:39,500
beginning of organic chemistry
started their design for the

384
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:41,400
sewing machine.
Like there's so many things.

385
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,000
So I think first thing in the
morning just waking up and and

386
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,600
having like some type of dream
journaling process is a really

387
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,900
great way to let things in.
I'm also a big fan of like walks

388
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:57,500
in nature and nature could mean,
you know, I used to walk through

389
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:00,000
downtown Seattle.
There's not many.

390
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:03,000
Being alive things that are but
it was about getting outside,

391
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:06,500
you know, no earbuds, no
conversation, no dog, no friend,

392
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:09,400
no, you know, no audio book, no
podcast.

393
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:15,700
But just open space to allow the
universe to, to find that way in

394
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:20,300
so dreams, and simply just being
outside walking with, with no

395
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:22,900
set purpose.
And I think are a couple of the

396
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:26,200
great ways to let that come in.
Yeah, being like, I used to

397
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,700
always need background noise
loud.

398
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:30,000
Music TV was always on, and now
I'm like, I'm fine.

399
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,400
Myself driving out for our was
like oh and I was like, oh I

400
00:21:32,408 --> 00:21:34,800
didn't I didn't, I'm so used to
the silence, I forgot it was

401
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,300
there, but that's when my
intuition could be like loudest

402
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:39,700
and clearest.
And yeah, the time in nature and

403
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:44,200
yeah, not not continuing to fill
our minds with new input.

404
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,400
Let's everything.
We already know, kind of rise up

405
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,000
and be clear to us.
Yeah, I, I ended up on this like

406
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,400
ten hour road trip, like five
hours each Direction a couple

407
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,900
months ago and it ended up being
for not like the reason I went

408
00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:58,500
over there ended up not
happening.

409
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,300
But the road trip itself was so
good.

410
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:05,300
I'm like, I need to go on like
one road trip a month, just for

411
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,700
Creative space, like it's
awesome.

412
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,500
Same with the shower, you know,
just those spaces where there's

413
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:16,700
room and time and you know,
they're open intuition is one

414
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:19,800
way and clarifying.
It strengthening is one way, you

415
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,500
help people discover their
greatness, what are some other

416
00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:26,600
keys to someone really creating
their best life?

417
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,500
That is one way and I think I
think there's a few different

418
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:35,800
Frameworks I use one is Clarity
courage, inspired action, so

419
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,700
Clarity is that intuitive?
Peace and usually if you ask

420
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:41,200
somebody like yeah, what's the
one thing you need to start or

421
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,200
stop doing in this area of your
life?

422
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,700
We all know what that thing is
the next piece is building

423
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:49,400
courage.
So that you can, you know, take

424
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,700
that into action and then the
third part of that is, how do

425
00:22:52,700 --> 00:22:56,100
you stay in sustainable action?
And, you know, I'm a certified

426
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:58,800
high performance coach to make
sure I can help people.

427
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,500
Keep their energy up.
Keep their, you know, their

428
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:04,800
Clarity, their productivity like
those really grounded,

429
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,800
functional aspects of doing
whatever is most important for

430
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,300
you, you know?
So that's one framework.

431
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:16,700
I look at and another framework
is past present future, right?

432
00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:20,300
Like if our past is guiding us,
you mentioned with men like oh

433
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:22,500
if it's called that word, I'm
not going to do it because it's

434
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:24,700
not masculine.
Like if we can let go of

435
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:28,100
anything from our past.
That's you know, you think about

436
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:30,500
parents like I'm Definitely
going to do what my parents do.

437
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:34,300
Because I'm a good boy, right?
Well, that creates a lack of

438
00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:36,000
Freedom.
Or if you're like I'm never

439
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,800
going to do that thing that my
parents did because because I'm

440
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,600
a rebel and F them well that
also can you know, creates a

441
00:23:42,608 --> 00:23:45,000
constraint.
So we really need to get free

442
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,200
from the past so that we can get
super focused in the presence.

443
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,600
The only place we can take
action, right?

444
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600
So only place, we can experience
the good or the bad that life

445
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,000
has for us and then how do we,
you know, create a plan for the

446
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,400
future and some That.
How do we want it to fill?

447
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,700
It might be a dream boards.
You know, can be a lot more.

448
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:07,000
Esoteric, but also how do we set
goals that actually get us

449
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,400
there?
So it's not just a wish and a

450
00:24:09,408 --> 00:24:12,900
dream, but it's actually
Something That We're actively

451
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:15,600
constructing, you know, and
then, you know, partnering with

452
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:20,900
Universe to make that as easy
and expedient as we can cool.

453
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:23,800
And it may, I love you mentioned
Clarity because Clarity was

454
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,700
something I used to use as a
crutch.

455
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:28,600
Well, I'm not clear on how to do
that so I'm not going to do

456
00:24:28,608 --> 00:24:29,200
anything.
Thing.

457
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:33,100
Yeah, but but I find that like,
it's my actions that create

458
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:36,500
Clarity.
Yeah, yeah, well I think people

459
00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:39,900
and do this is me as well.
And I think I've had some

460
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:43,300
friends that, you know, really
instilled like ready, fire aim,

461
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:46,400
right?
They've instilled, you know,

462
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,900
100% accuracy, on 10 things, is
10 things.

463
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,100
If you shoot for a c average, on
a hundred things, that's 70

464
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:56,600
things, right?
So there was a piece about

465
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,100
action and I think people think
Clarity is like I need to know

466
00:25:00,700 --> 00:25:04,400
every turn, every stop, every
pothole between here in

467
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,600
Nebraska, for me to drive east
and the reality is, you know, I

468
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,100
think Clarity is more like a
verb.

469
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:13,200
It's an action.
Right Clarity happens, one step

470
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,800
at a time, no matter how big or
small the thing is that we're

471
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,100
moving towards.
And I also, you know, like that

472
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:21,600
quote from The Alchemist I
really believe the universe is

473
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,400
conspiring in our favor, but it
can't help us unless we take

474
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,400
action for Years.
I thought I can't meditate.

475
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,500
I don't know.
It's I'm not going to sit

476
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:33,600
cross-legged on a mountain
that's nonsense, you know.

477
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:38,200
And so we all have these
distorted visions of versions of

478
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,000
What something is until we try
it.

479
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,600
Yeah.
And then if I do, I can

480
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,000
meditate.
Oh no, I actually like it.

481
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,400
Oh, it's fun.
You know, it brings me benefits.

482
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,100
Wow, this is really cool.
I'll keep doing it and so that's

483
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:49,600
where I got cleared in what
meditation really is and how it

484
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,400
can serve me.
But you know, time and time

485
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,700
again.
If I see people that have a

486
00:25:56,708 --> 00:26:00,700
spiritual awakening, and they'll
just like, I'm just a spiritual

487
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,100
being now, and they stop taking
action, like, no.

488
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:06,000
We're both like, really A
Spiritual Beings here.

489
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,300
Having a physical experience
you.

490
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,800
If you do it, if you try to just
do one of the other.

491
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:12,700
I find that you really have a
really dysfunctional life

492
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,300
totally well.
And my one of my biggest

493
00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:16,800
spiritual teachers was like,
yeah.

494
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,700
Like, if there's a lack of
abundance in life, whether it's

495
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:22,900
bonus of relationships,
finances, whatever it is, it's

496
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:26,000
being too.
Are in one or the other and I

497
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
would say, you know, we got like
a couple in a car.

498
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,400
The man's driving, right?
That's the masculine action

499
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,900
piece.
The woman's the one that will

500
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:37,000
actually ask for and listen to
directions, right?

501
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:40,400
And so if they work together,
they're going to get places.

502
00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:43,700
But if one or the others totally
in control like yeah, nothing

503
00:26:43,700 --> 00:26:47,100
happens.
And so that that Loop of, you

504
00:26:47,108 --> 00:26:50,500
know, Clarity, courage, inspired
action, which is really just

505
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:51,900
listen.
And then step.

506
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,700
That also needs to wrap back
around the other way because

507
00:26:55,700 --> 00:26:57,600
sometimes we'll get clarity.
You're not gonna.

508
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,800
I'm supposed to be this thing
and a decade later, the universe

509
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
has a different plan for you,
you know.

510
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,300
But you stopped listening and
you got so into action was,

511
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,000
which may have been the right
action at the time but you know,

512
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,200
this is an Ever evolving
Universe.

513
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,600
Like there's a reason there's no
more Blockbuster Video right

514
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,400
like because the world changes
and so I think listening and

515
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,600
stepping in equal balance is Is
the answer to most of the places

516
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,400
that were stuck?
Yeah, I totally agree.

517
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,300
You know, the one constant in
this life is change and when you

518
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:35,200
can get, you know, I'd probably
be lying.

519
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,300
If I say, I always look forward
to change but at least I can be

520
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,200
comfortable with change
expected.

521
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,900
Be more resilient in the face of
change, because I think when

522
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:46,300
when when you have your Clarity,
when you take inspired action,

523
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:50,700
most changes for your benefit.
Yeah, yeah.

524
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,700
Well it's and I've been working
on Lately as well excite.

525
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,100
You know, I was in Seattle for a
decade, life was good and easy.

526
00:27:58,100 --> 00:28:00,500
And I was doing personal growth
work and I had growth edges, but

527
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:03,200
it was things were pretty well,
taken care of.

528
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,300
And I moved back to Colorado
like a couple years ago and I'm

529
00:28:07,308 --> 00:28:09,700
like, I got to get my income up.
I got to get this new business

530
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:12,300
built.
And the thing I've really been

531
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:15,400
working on is like, if you and I
were going to go on this, this

532
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:21,200
beautiful hike and Colorado 99%
of it is just hiking, right?

533
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:26,300
Like 1%, Of the actual day is US
scanning at that Peak, looking

534
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:29,500
at whatever Vista, it is that
we've hiked to and I think we

535
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,500
forget about that in life.
We want to be somewhere so

536
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:36,900
desperately that we're not
enjoying like oh I launched this

537
00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:39,500
thing and it didn't work.
Let's get curious and figure out

538
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:42,600
why and do it differently or you
know I should have as much fun

539
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,400
doing the podcast interview as I
do with anything positive that

540
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,400
may come from it, right?
And just how do you enjoy the

541
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,300
journey and the experience?
Yeah.

542
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:54,800
And you've said multiple Time's
it curiosity is so key.

543
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,600
And and I used to fall into the
Trap of, you know, things are

544
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,200
right and wrong.
It's good or bad.

545
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,700
And like I nailed it or I fucked
it up like that.

546
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,600
There's, you know, there's no
curiosity, there's no learning.

547
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,200
There is no, growth is no
enjoying the journey, which

548
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,900
that's really what life's about.
Yeah.

549
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,600
Yeah.
And sometimes, I have to really

550
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,500
use these like dumb down
analogies.

551
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:15,400
Like I loved playing rugby,
right?

552
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,700
I loved hitting people.
I loved football as well.

553
00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:21,500
And you know, there's times
where I'm like, how this didn't

554
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:22,600
work.
I want to get all All

555
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,900
distraught.
And I'm like, dude, like what

556
00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:28,300
would rugby Morgan do, you know?
So I also like kind of leaning

557
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:32,200
into a little healthy ego as
well, like, you know, or if I

558
00:29:32,208 --> 00:29:36,200
want to be the best person in
relationship that I possibly

559
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,600
can, like you go, actually, I'm
the best, you know, fiance her

560
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,700
husband on the planet like what
would he do?

561
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:45,600
You know, and then not get hurt
about the the setbacks and the

562
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,800
stumbles and the times you get
tackled instead of actually

563
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,000
tackling somebody else like,
yeah, just enjoy those as part

564
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,100
of the game.
Game and and have it be like

565
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:57,000
yeah cool.
You know how I do that is how I

566
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,700
do this.
And so yeah let's just keep

567
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:04,200
rolling Morgan.
I wonder if there's a habit of

568
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,300
practice of book that that
helped you a lot that you would

569
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:13,300
like others to know about.
Well, the book, my favorite

570
00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:16,000
book, I just bought it for a
nephew, a couple days ago, The

571
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,100
Alchemist, but in my lifetime
favorite book, I read it like

572
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:22,100
once a year, I always wonder
where I'm at in my own Journey,

573
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:25,200
you know.
So I think that's a, that's a

574
00:30:25,208 --> 00:30:29,000
good one.
That just always motivates me as

575
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,900
far as a habit.
We're all too busy.

576
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:35,800
We're all too busy.
And when we're too busy, there's

577
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,300
no room for inspiration.
There's no room for aha's

578
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:41,600
epiphanies.
To be honest, there's not even

579
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,100
much.
Shroom for enjoyment.

580
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,800
So you know, if I was to share
one thing, it would be find some

581
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,800
places to slow down.
You know, I've really value my

582
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,000
sleep and I've never considered
myself a morning person.

583
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,600
But months ago I started getting
up at 5 a.m. again because it

584
00:30:58,608 --> 00:31:01,500
wasn't getting enough nature
time and so I would go out to

585
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:03,600
Nature.
I get to watch the Stars.

586
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,500
Some can I getting fed by the
stars and getting fed by Nature,

587
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,400
you know?
And then I come back to the

588
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,700
house and my girlfriend wakes up
my fiance.

589
00:31:12,700 --> 00:31:16,700
Now I just got engaged and and
then we start the rest of our

590
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:21,200
day together, but I'm willing to
Lose that hour of sleep to have

591
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,300
that quiet space, and that thing
that's going to feed me.

592
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:26,500
So for everybody, that might be
listening.

593
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:29,400
I would say, hey, what's, what's
that thing that you already

594
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,900
know?
Is that know that feeds, you and

595
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:34,500
build that back into your life?
Because I do believe those

596
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:38,700
things, strengthen our business,
our health, our relationship,

597
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:41,000
you know, career.
All all the things that we say

598
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,300
are important, that will dump a
ton of time towards cross

599
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:46,500
training.
For that is usually slowing down

600
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:51,000
and allowing some space, cool.
Yeah, especially again we're in

601
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,400
January.
And I often find, you know, I've

602
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,200
never been someone to get caught
up in in New Year's resolutions

603
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,900
and such but you know, certainly
if you're planning and you're

604
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:06,200
making setting goals for the
year it's fluid like most things

605
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,000
are talking about.
So like I do I created a vision

606
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,600
board this year and I'll use all
January to see is that still out

607
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,600
and now it won't just be.
Oh no I put up there as to stay

608
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,200
there.
Like what feels right but moves

609
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,400
around what?
Oh something.

610
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:19,600
If February I find something,
I'm really Called to this thing,

611
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,000
all right down, goes that
picture up.

612
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,600
Comes this new thing, and I
think that's something that used

613
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,700
to make fun of and thought was
ridiculous.

614
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,200
Like so many of my daily habits
are things that I mocked

615
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:33,300
ruthlessly them.
Oh, yeah experience.

616
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:38,700
So yeah, I would really invite
and encourage people drop the

617
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:40,900
old story.
Like I like you, I was like, oh,

618
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:43,100
I was a night owl, I'm not a
morning person now.

619
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,900
Yeah.
I'm without an alarm, I'm waking

620
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:48,100
up, 5:00. 5:30 6:00 a.m. if I
sleep till 6:30.

621
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:49,300
That's a late sleeper.
Sleep for me.

622
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,500
Now, am I?
Yeah, what did this happen?

623
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:53,700
I don't know.
This is not something I ever was

624
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:59,300
looking for, but it's allowing
Life to drive the show instead

625
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:01,700
of the ego.
Yeah, yeah.

626
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:03,500
And that's all it's a lot of
work.

627
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:06,200
I think to let go and that's
that past piece, right?

628
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,600
Well if I'm going to be macho
here's what that means.

629
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,700
If I'm going to be whatever and
I like just the idea of adopting

630
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,300
something that better serves us,
you know.

631
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:16,700
I like that statement like do
you want to be happy or do you

632
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:18,500
want to be right?
You want to be wealthy?

633
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:20,700
Or do you want to be right?
Like there's all these things

634
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:26,100
and you know and I think usually
if we can let go of those That

635
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:29,500
rigidity, it'll be something
that I make.

636
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,100
Oh, like literally something
I've been resistant to is

637
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:38,300
working with AI in my business,
which I have my reasons for and

638
00:33:38,300 --> 00:33:42,200
also like I know how it makes
things easier and I heard about

639
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,300
this AI program yesterday and
then it showed up twice today

640
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,000
and not like because Facebook's
listing or something like that

641
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,600
but but it showed up in these
very organic ways and I'm like,

642
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,500
you know what, like maybe I
should take.

643
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,600
A look at that and in all of our
Lives, you know, I think if we

644
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,700
can be quiet a little bit will
notice that there's been some

645
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:06,900
things have been knocking on our
door for a while.

646
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:10,500
And yeah, maybe that's the thing
for us or maybe it's a Gateway

647
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:12,600
thing to the next thing that's
waiting.

648
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:18,500
So so, so while we're at the
dawn of 2023, I wonder if

649
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:21,300
there's anything stand out for
you that you are looking forward

650
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:24,100
to.
Yeah, honest.

651
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:28,699
Um, I'm redoing systems.
You know, I built things a

652
00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:31,900
certain way, and Seattle for a
decade and got too busy.

653
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:33,699
It was difficult to keep up
with.

654
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,600
And so I've been kind of down
this ramp up phase for the last

655
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,100
year and a half.
And now I'm like, okay, let's

656
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:42,000
hire a VA.
Let's get some better systems.

657
00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:46,900
I had a podcast are like thirty
three episodes in 32 episodes

658
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:50,400
and then I just was overwhelmed
and I love having these

659
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,600
conversations on either side of
the microphone.

660
00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:55,900
Just love the podcast
conversation.

661
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:58,400
And so I'm like, okay, how do I
build up my life so I can

662
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,400
reintroduce a podcast.
I'm working directly with men

663
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,500
now, which is new in the last
like three to four months

664
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:09,500
because I think we really need
to work and there's so much

665
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:11,600
opportunity for growth and
healing for all of us.

666
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,500
And then the last thing I've
taken all these like magical

667
00:35:15,500 --> 00:35:17,500
trips to Central and South
America.

668
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,100
And I'm taking my first group of
men down to Mexico and February.

669
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:25,800
So, I'll get to be teaching what
I want to learn, you know,

670
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,300
creating what I want to
experience and know that only

671
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:31,700
grow from there.
So awesome.

672
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,100
Well, that's a lot to look
forward to and be excited for a

673
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:35,600
lot.
Yeah, very cool.

674
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,000
Very cool.
Well, congratulations and wish

675
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,400
you nothing but success in all
of those and more more.

676
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,800
What's the best way for people
to reach out to learn more?

677
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,500
About everything you're up to
probably the best way whether

678
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:52,500
it's on Instagram, Facebook
LinkedIn, Dr. Morgan Oaks.

679
00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:55,400
AKs.
And that's my also my website

680
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,100
Dr. Morgan Oaks.com.
And I would say, you know if

681
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:02,800
people have a question if people
you know need to support, people

682
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,200
don't know what the next step is
for them.

683
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:08,600
The majority of my conversations
were like, hey here's what I

684
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,900
might suggest and people go back
out to the world and do what

685
00:36:11,900 --> 00:36:14,200
they need to.
I, I love being a resource and I

686
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,200
feel like those are my touch
points to create positive

687
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,700
change.
Even if it isn't a business

688
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:22,500
connection, it's me, you know,
supporting somebody else just

689
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:25,700
like Like I've been supported,
