1:56
the benefit that is carrying by having one of ingredients
1:59
being clogged
1:59
hello
2:01
the relic get his name from being so
2:03
dense in chlorophyll
2:05
the recent study published in a peer reviewed journal appetite
2:07
found that chlorophyll can assist in weight
2:09
loss in reduce the
2:11
urge to eat hyper palatable
2:14
boots i if you don't know the
2:16
staggering statistic get about our consumption
2:19
of hyper palatable
2:21
hold for processed foods
2:23
let me fill us right now the average
2:25
americans diet consists of about
2:27
sixty percent ultra
2:30
process
2:31
who
2:32
these are foods not minimally processed
2:35
not taking the tomato and making
2:37
tomato sauce we're
2:39
not taking our lives in just cold processing
2:42
pressing they were making olive oil the
2:44
taking avocados and megan guacamole
2:47
that minimal processing
2:49
we're talking about when we're talking about ultra
2:51
processed foods is
2:53
we have fields in fields of corn
2:56
and somehow we ended up the ball
2:58
of lucky charms right
3:00
there's this huge disconnection from any
3:02
origin for many
3:03
sense of being anything
3:05
crysis any source of being
3:07
a real food
3:08
los it's essence there's so
3:10
many artificial ingredients
3:13
colorings flavorings preservative
3:15
this is no longer a real
3:18
food in the sense of the
3:20
food like proud
3:21
that makes up sixty percent of the average
3:24
americans died today
3:26
no wonder that we are right now
3:28
the most chronically diseased
3:30
nation in the history of humanity
3:33
the reach of obesity right now he united states
3:36
will be seventy percent of our citizens
3:38
are either overweight or clinically obese
3:40
we have about one hundred and thirty million of our citizens
3:43
type two diabetes or pre diabetes
3:46
this very moment about sixty percent
3:48
our citizens have some degree of
3:51
heart disease and this is just
3:53
for starters, that's just scratching the surface
3:55
but the
3:57
good news is that there can't be a problem without
3:59
the
4:01
and it really directing us towards what can we do
4:03
proactively to help turn this thing around
4:05
the with optimizing change what we're making our
4:07
bodies out the radio we're making
4:09
our hormones out of because even our hormones are
4:12
made from the foods that and
4:14
so obviously real food
4:16
is the mandate real whole foods

13:27
success in a think that you know that
13:30
person just got it they don't really understand
13:32
the tension that you have
13:34
to
13:35
be able to not to survive but
13:37
be able to drive in operate from
13:39
and learn through because we're sees poking
13:42
holes i'm sure is not always com
13:44
now you know
13:45
ah how big after
13:48
so long i would be used to
13:50
but i got a call from
13:53
one of my clients and they were talking about wanted to
13:55
programs a way and it was like yo i'm just
13:57
discourages person talking meets disrespecting
13:59
me
13:59
in our like
14:00
already know what did he is is one of the colleges
14:03
they are not saying what you want
14:05
them to say in your pain
14:08
so you feel like because your pain
14:11
you have the right to tell them how
14:13
to coach and i'm like yo one thousand feel
14:15
you you know that sort of person that i feel you like
14:17
geese deal to this day
14:20
how do i status
14:22
wow everything she says is truthful
14:26
the approach sometimes steel aggravates
14:28
me as late as they are like that you
14:30
know have burglaries like look
14:32
here's the deal i don't i don't
14:34
want to lose
14:36
any of the truth worried
14:39
about harm don't say it like
14:41
i want to be able to concentrate on your
14:43
this is the true fights this is where you have
14:45
some just take the truth it's and so
14:47
sometimes we want to truth packaged a
14:49
certain way you know and so for me and
14:52
little the up to this day i've
14:54
had to have i've gotta learn to gov
14:56
maggie know did his heart you
14:58

is always have my best interest right
17:47
, right right the anchor you know

that because you to say such a great
17:54
analogy to a lot of people want that cheerleader
17:56
yeah right but
17:58
what if we ever cheerleaders really difficult to be
17:59
surely to put a losing team by the way for
18:02
you see you see the attitude
18:04
you see them around go down when things
18:06
got lose their rights versus having
18:08
the cheerleaders for the winning team and
18:10
it sounded absolutely right so mad
18:12
as such a great and now this case
18:15

you not to take advantage these activities

i yolks was the one thing to help meet that
28:42
up the
28:43
com and amongst most of us as take

29:03
right there will relate to relate lot not
29:05
all not all people we go
29:07
get to the billions we start off
29:10
by blame his plan the blame game
29:12
and not taking personal responsibility yeah you
29:14
said it blindly in the book and i've never seen it
29:16
just articulate is so blatantly
29:18
said victimhood is a myself
29:21
the victim who who is a myself
29:23
the you articulated that but then you also
29:26
gave some practical days and we
29:28
can do to start to
29:29
deconstruct their ideal guys
29:32
when we're so last don't want
29:34
to this i'm a victim prospective
29:36
with so many of us are and is not to negate
29:38
the fact that we business started things have happened
29:40
in all the crazy you share that too right
29:43
when we're giving up hour away riven by
29:45
pointing fingers and blame in a world we're
29:48
just we're putting ourselves in a position where we don't
29:50
have the power to change the way so i
29:52
want to talk about somebody steps that you gave
29:54
you said number one you have to
29:56
take ownership of yourself
29:59
the
29:59
very practical can you expand
30:02
upon at a little bit yes i'm just saying
30:04
like okay yes
30:06
you didn't get a great
30:10
my teach you don't like grab your mama used to
30:12
be like yo you got no teach
30:14
you that like you if esa see
30:16
if like would you do it like don't
30:18
know to like every teaches against the like spelling
30:21
sunrise
30:22
when you a victim is always pop
30:25
so i had to ask myself okay yeah
30:27
let's say teachers don't like you the ambrose he got
30:30
real bad when a star like studying history
30:32
as the black history and i'm looking at this little rock
30:35
nine
30:36
i know you got nike is going to a predominantly
30:38
white institution
30:40
where
30:41
the national guards like they gotta
30:43
get escorted every dates with the
30:45
military and dogs to
30:47
their literally gone into a school where these teachers
30:49
don't particularly care for one
30:51
that outgrown people are size spit
30:53
madam calling them all can stop british
30:56
managed to go in and graduated go to college
30:58
to do
30:59
a slightly you may be
31:01
tell me you ain't got like
31:03
they got dot they got police are like
31:06
they've got a real problem
31:08
all your teachers is in the oregon community like
31:10
you date black like you like what works
31:12
committee and what's the problem is like your
31:14
teaches on against you like for rip
31:17
so as i know he brought fess up
31:19
you know study
31:21
you do or above you do have some type
31:23
of learning up disability whatever ideas
31:25
but not to the point that you get worse
31:28
it just means that you may have to read the book
31:30
five thousand some i really want times and
31:32
they get it and i got what he can read it and
31:34
get him off is like know
31:36
if it's x y times this report
31:38
or so i had to take responsibility
31:40
for if you're not going to class you're not paying
31:42
attention
31:43
when you are in class you daydream if you're
31:45
not time when tears you're not me with the
31:47
teachers afterwards or before you
31:49
not be what other for years and know how to study to

32:15
as teachers to stay and as a look at
32:18
them every class arrays my head of not disrespectful

32:22
go be real to as lisa c plus be mine
32:25
at least
32:26
like without even didn't want
32:29

32:45
ownership full responsibility
32:47
the middle he got consume my control
32:50
i woke up one day bro was like yo
32:52
actually be to believe i'm here
32:55
likes i can't believe i with from that
32:57
to this what is all because
33:00
when you take responsibility as you say
33:02
from the book
33:03
at that point you get a power
33:06
yeah is linda to you
33:07
there's a source
33:09
you know what i'm saying that's like your b i got your back
33:11
your is like when i used to be you aren't going to play ms
33:13
pac-man and i get the banana the
33:15
strawberry that you know they're gonna
33:18
say you start either the joker's and hitting
33:20
the pop ooh ooh ooh they
33:22
running from me it was like when i took
33:24
responsibility everything that once
33:26
was attacking me is now running from
33:28
meat and and everything that i once fear
33:31
i'm chasing it i'm going after
33:33
it now and it was all the power peel
33:36
i didn't realize was ownership
33:38
your responsibility is tomatoes
33:41
a hotel loaded into did it i our d c
33:43
ease video game at home is
33:45
gonna love love love love
33:47
it i so we gotta take ownership
33:50
is number one number to this is like a
33:52
little bit of a period
33:54
was still in a same vein you said number two
33:56
if the own you decision
33:59
the
33:59
your decision so
34:02
so i made my mom own
34:04
hers lie to me
34:08
harrison that are most sources to in
34:10
a person that home me don't
34:12
lie lan
34:14
about my whole life
34:16
and so when i was doing was i was holding
34:19
my mother responsible for her decisions
34:22
i wouldn't want a myself responsible for my decision
34:24
the reality was yes
34:26
your mother lot about your father
34:28
the way you decided to deal with it
34:31
you never dealt with
34:33
that best a real problem real problem
34:35
when she lacked a real problem was you
34:37
acted in haste and ran away from the korean
34:40
and your prior would let you have yourself
34:42
in combat to not you live in a band build
34:44
like door or at that time
34:46
living on the street firms i didn't do a bad
34:48
a bit as to like
34:50
deep into the game when i start relapse
34:52
understand in the homeless gave half of my
34:54
all gates yoga they are that you the light
34:56
beer teach yourself in somebody is a bad abilities
34:59
the detroit hours at that
35:01

35:07
to the fire
35:10
the to the whole yourself to defy like usually amount
35:12
of fire and us pilot his book to is
35:14
like your was is
35:16
so easy to be upset with people when they
35:18
do you wrong what you let you
35:20
off the hook when you do you around
35:22
why that okay i was little get saw someone
35:25

35:38
because you living your life and trying to do with useful
35:41
do for you this is my
35:43
life and solves my you eat if you
35:45
could start taking ownership
35:46
good decisions that you mates

35:53
i denied you say you can we got a counselor
35:56
i did i say your mom peers but can
35:58
we just sit down and talk about
35:59
you did it like what was the purpose a why
36:02
you did it like i have to take ownership
36:04
you act impulsively about
36:07
something and you could win about that
36:09
a whole different way
36:10
and everybody could work together
36:13
the talk about
36:14
where we are and where we can go from here
36:17
but it's days you just cousin
36:19
fold out threatening phone

on display you nicer the got an
36:39
oscar you know it but so i
36:41
just realized he you have to start
36:43
taking ownership
36:44
the your decisions
36:46
because that's the real reason a problem
36:48
not how do i
36:50
see a d v i've realized was
36:53
it a day what
36:55
is it yarrow it was it
36:57
the a bit it was the response that
37:00
would guess morpheus in the event is what is lot
37:02
of it but i did respond to the vet
37:04
in a way i should ask so the outcome in the be
37:07
homeless
37:08
i was like yo he that he our oh boy you've
37:10
gotta switch that not
37:12
control events
37:14
what you can control how you respond to
37:16
events if you take ownership
37:18
the respond different name when
37:20
you give
37:21
our responsibility away yeah
37:23
i love how you broke down
37:25
a kind of looked inside your mouth story mama t
37:28
and
37:30
really looked at from her perspective new have less
37:32
that out enlist in the book itself the
37:35
guys again you had this
37:37
narrative about
37:38
her making this decision not
37:41
taking the time especially in that moment to
37:43
actually understand why she did it and all the opportunities
37:46
who was actually give a you com
37:48
you know i was really about we're at
37:50
right continue to leave at the last
37:52
of it as prop ah saddam my wife
37:54
and my kids are spend more time with her at
37:56
taco were her you know she's such a special human being
37:59
you really
37:59
highlighted her here in a beautiful
38:02
way and the books who had to man us
38:04
an idea because i didn't even realize
38:07
you present the
38:09
him to the world before they get to present themselves
38:12
to work
38:13
and how you do that is pretty and even
38:15
knows who i would identify may
38:17
be as
38:19
the enemies
38:20
the way i present
38:23
them in a book is important because i get to
38:26
i get go first
38:27
the noise was very important for me in the book
38:29
to make sure that we understand that your
38:31
we all got problems but
38:33
there's a reason why we com and man when i look back
38:35
and miles dogs i'm like
38:38
oh i didn't know i didn't understand some stuff
38:40
the mods pretty much road
38:42
you know on the dirt dirt that
38:45
the intro like mom pretty much
38:47
you know had a breakdown where my grandma
38:50
came from with my great grandma in august
38:52
sounds silly i didn't know them my dad
38:54
and i didn't know my grandmother's two acres
38:56
i'm
38:57
that was funny we call and lama
38:59
that he noise
39:00
it's slang for know my
39:03
mom says it i love you just rose
39:05
to radically the note as i on never knew that
39:07
was hard to my grandmother didn't talk a lot my
39:09
she didn't share with us or pass or whatever
39:12
this was the first time i realized
39:14
that my grandmother's
39:15
marbury died giving birth to her
39:18
they're not make sense why my grandmother
39:20
was
39:22
what she probably would have been
39:24
had she been raised by her mom
39:26
and got the thieves that a mother daughter
39:29
you know that chemistry and were so grandma
39:31
was more like
39:32
grandpa he knows your grandma was way
39:35
more protective
39:36
you know make sure we had every day with
39:38
the nurturing part
39:40
you know was it is so when i looked at my grandma
39:42
like oh in our history like sharecroppers
39:45
com and up to detroit
39:47
looking for a job chicago looking for a
39:49
job you know the emancipation proclamation
39:52
yoda stop israel
39:53
and i'm looking now how much people were affected
39:55
by to ya coming up north they
39:57
get that is this your dogs
39:59
it is is this have been up here as
40:02
you know is is got his own issues been
40:04
in a herb it can be living in a projects
40:06
robert taylor is chicago
40:09
herman gardens in detroit so i we really
40:12
were a part of that good times
40:14
like that was our life would our grandmother so
40:16
knock out a whole new level respect for my mom because
40:18
i'm like
40:19
the oldies would you
40:21
like this the gets the more uk
40:23
from and as a result of that
40:25
might this is what you prepare
40:27
me for
40:28
and you allow me to become number one in a world
40:31
because of what you did
40:32
early or you know where you didn't
40:35
the nominal and you know i'll give ddr
40:37
hurt but it's like your mom's was
40:39
the one that started that
40:42
the not gonna be that
40:44
the generations don't get better so
40:46
arm yeah manages felt good to write
40:48
in a way where i could not com a messiah
40:51
that a loop you what would you do a
40:53
doll you as up to you but
40:55
i'm about to loop you introduce
40:58
the world to you and
41:00
your genius in awaited
41:02
you deserved that in the hopefully legacy
41:05
you know she'll take a bad to challenge
41:07
the colonel came i would is recipe with he
41:10
went are you so much you've got a chance
41:12
to take
41:13
is part of it you don't blow it out absolutely
41:15
yeah i mean she's got the game was years
41:18
man or so again
41:20
victim victimhood his mentality
41:23
so , got those first two pieces that therapies
41:25
that you gave was to set a standard
41:28
so that so that's the other
41:30
part of the recipe from breaking out of it
41:33
me to prison we put ourselves in salt
41:35
so for me when i realize was
41:37
you were able to respond to
41:39
your parents in the news way you
41:41
d
41:42
because you didn't have a set standard
41:45
when you don't have standards huge his act any
41:47
kind of way what you have a set of standards
41:50
the standards also become an anchor
41:52
you know so for me as like
41:54
what am i non negotiable com and not because
41:56
my
41:57
argos we're all
42:00
you say may very bad decisions
42:02
being intoxicated and landed him in
42:04
prison
42:05
then i have aunts who also
42:08
this is i didn't have a healthy relationship
42:10
you know where alcohol it a
42:13
was a recreational
42:14
you know savages say that it was
42:16
a recreational
42:18
hi my own father you
42:20
know has his battle with whatever
42:22
drug of his choice for years and
42:24
a my uncle data cirrhosis and on it
42:27
the weapons i decided a very young age
42:29
with that information saw was
42:31
i'm never going to drink or smoke
42:33
it was a some to delight
42:35
a role would drink it i'm like maybe your family
42:37
is not
42:38
maybe york in do it responsibly
42:41
but i just don't see a history
42:43
of response being responsible
42:45
where alcohol and drugs so
42:47
i'm good
42:48
and so that was a standard
42:50
so because that was one of the standards
42:53
that i got is going up in a in a home
42:55
at a have really a lot of personal standards i
42:58
was we my boys that was doorstep
43:00
they should do i was always sober
43:02
that was always able to get out a certain things
43:05
because i was always sold rabbits have a child
43:08
you know out of i i was sober know what
43:10
i'm saying that was another day because of what happened
43:12
to me
43:13
i didn't what i was a version like i
43:15
didn't want to have sex because
43:16
i saw it as may i have sex with
43:18
your left bialy year
43:20
you know i got wasn't in a marriage wasn't
43:22
it
43:24
what he called it a nursery
43:26
we will pick the name together
43:28
we go have a baby shower in
43:30
his own go to church in bless you like i
43:32
didn't have as on my you on goods or sex
43:35
i'm good on you know on alcohol
43:37
and you know substance and so
43:39
i didn't have my old person or other
43:41
stuff that made me go honor
43:43
thy mother my father
43:45
you know like we didn't grow up in church so i when i
43:47
see no on and i modified out known and about
43:49
as one disrespect them but maybe had i had
43:52
a
43:52
principal some standards out of your lights
43:55
it does matter how angry you are are your
43:57
mother or father is your mom's your death
43:59
don't this respect
44:01
so as i got older i start
44:03
realizing my your breast and is are meant
44:05
to hurt you you know
44:07
cats like i want to be free
44:09
the have you real free you have boundaries
44:12
like there's no real biting what our boundaries
44:15
like uses are you not free not
44:18
free you got much of boundaries desk protecting
44:20
your home or protecting your stuff
44:23
they saw realize okay
44:25
he you need to start created standards
44:27
so when
44:29
the aim in aired time is when a dog
44:31
eared com as rises
44:33
stay at his could say lie your bra you you don't
44:36
as hard and you don't get
44:38
to do us harm just because you're us
44:41
you don't because you're meet you
44:43
don't you don't get to destroy us you don't
44:45
get to make decisions as frontier everything down
44:48
that we built up
44:49
i'm a whole you and check there's like our
44:51
whole somebody else and checks to as with those
44:53
dad is do they actually provided
44:56
me with emotional mental
44:58
physical health you know
45:00
i was a vegetarian you
45:02
know for a long time and
45:05
i think it was important because when i was eat meat
45:07
was just me and starts thought
45:09
so been a vegetarian was
45:11
started me introduce a my body to
45:13
vegetable school when you home his brother likes
45:16
it will how to best guy in attack
45:18
is like you know how grocery stores but
45:20
sales on the spot for those
45:22
standards started to
45:24
take me in a crazy
45:26
part also
45:28
the know shine on value started to
45:31
the app allow me to trap myself to other
45:33
people
45:34
you know can do some people like you could make a million
45:36
to name a man my eye
45:38
no of our values and beliefs a lot
45:40
like i bring my wife for ryan
45:42
every my key out on over
45:44
it's also realize
45:47
you get rid of a lot of garbage
45:49
when you have standards you know
45:51
so for me stand as would have thing that the
45:54
allow me to get a victims mentality of
45:56
victors metallic a cheap that victors
45:58
much as cj with a
45:59
the upset when because you know we went to michigan
46:02
state
46:02
a michigan says this but is true
46:05
hail to the bigger picture of face
46:07
i'm not more does it acted as a bus
46:09
the truth is hail to the victim and victim
46:12
you know and so once i got standards
46:15
man from that day for when i just
46:17
yeah just took off
46:18
yeah
46:19
so powerful that a quick break coming
46:21
up will be right back few people
46:23
know that regularly drinking coffee has
46:25
been shown to help prevent cognitive
46:28
decline and reduce the risk
46:30
of developing alzheimer's and parkinson's
46:33
disease
46:34
this attribute referees in the journal
46:36
practical urology is yet another
46:38
reason why into village the
46:42
list of best neuro nutritious
46:44
averages
46:45
another study featured in the journal psychopharmacology
46:49
cover their drinking coffee and a remarkable
46:52
benefits on middle performance the researchers
46:54
found that intelligent coffee intake
46:56
leads to improvements in alertness improve
46:59
reaction ties and enhanced
47:01
performance on cognitive vigilance task
47:04
and task that involve deep
47:06
concentration now ,
47:08
my stressing intelligent coffee
47:10
intake this means acknowledging the true
47:13
you shaped curve of benefits and
47:15
not going ham on
47:17
cathy cathy daily clearly
47:19
shows that some coffee cup
47:21
for today and the
47:24
company caffeine is caffeine
47:26
great adjunct for improve
47:28
mental perform it but going
47:31
too far source to be to diminishing
47:33
returns so wouldn't make sure that we're getting an optimal
47:36
intake coffee and again that
47:38
going on
47:41
now coming along
47:44
has his eyes herbicides rodenticides
47:47
on besides these chemical
47:49
elements are clinically proven to
47:51
destroy our microbial terrain
47:54
the destroying the very microbiome
47:56
that helps to regulate or metabolism
47:58
regulate our new
47:59
system the list goes on and on
48:02
obviously morning he said those things are not coming
48:04
along high quality cost
48:07
of tried spinning
48:09
also what if we can have level the
48:11
longevity in neurological benefits
48:13
of the coffee by combining it with
48:16
another clinically proven nutrients
48:18
source or that's why do every day
48:20
when i have organic coffee combined
48:23
with the duel extracted maternal mushrooms
48:26
force and if we're talking about optimal
48:28
cognitive performance and held of
48:30
our brain the protection of our brain there
48:32
are few nutrient sources like
48:34
lines mean but isn't a mushroom package
48:37
gonna benefit researchers at university
48:39
himalaya on benefit blinds mean as
48:42
neuro protective
48:45
the literally being able to help to defend the
48:47
brain again even traumatic brain
48:49
injuries make , brain help
48:54
so again this combination
48:56
of medicinal much
49:03
o two four sigma adding dot com
49:06
forward slash modeled as f o r
49:08
s i and , dot
49:12
com forward slash model
49:22
we're seeing matic doc
49:29
though this is something i haven't thought about
49:32
ever enjoy you annoy you story the fact
49:34
that she whoop you are maintaining standard
49:37
even when you are homeless
49:39
you know be guys oftentimes there's
49:41
this
49:42
the next you know we see with somebody
49:44
being homeless to
49:46
drug abuse alcohol
49:48
abuse and you already had to standard i'm
49:50
not participating not participating the he had the audacity
49:53
to be this
49:54
great human being and this one facet where
49:56
you're a hearing to your standard
49:59
especially with so
49:59
much darkness around you so much
50:02
the anguish where you could turn to those
50:04
things that you seen in the environment
50:06
that outlet
50:07
and you just decided know this not does not have wire
50:10
is so to talk about the power
50:12
of standards is so remarkable psycho
50:15
you disagree because freedom is now free to
50:17
creating these boundaries for you to operate
50:20
in in the have all the freedom within their
50:22
right versus this thing if you don't have a
50:24
standard just intercepting your life cost
50:26
in there you know so i could definitely identify
50:29
with that seen that in a bomb and around
50:31
me are the only person in my family who chose
50:33
to not participate in was very same things
50:36
are and are always wonder like because
50:38
i was see my my siblings lc my cousins
50:40
just like
50:41
what you got see what's happening legs
50:43
were not gonna be that right right
50:46
so in my mind is like we like we we
50:48
the message zoc but nice it
50:50
takes you have to set the standard
50:52
because even if you play would a thing
50:55
right
50:55
though this brings us to
50:58
the fourth
50:59
for to here in this recipe
51:02
is a big oil the no excuses
51:04
air no excuse as
51:06
so love excuse it's like desire
51:09
to me it up it unlocks
51:12
absolutely love
51:14
nice you but honestly excuses
51:17
are again
51:19
not a human
51:21
you need take responsibility
51:23
the now you're given it oh you give me your power
51:25
way to
51:26
circumstances situation
51:28
the army and so people say to me all the time i
51:30
your brush you know you should be talking
51:32
about bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb you know you
51:34
got platform you know you are he
51:36
is why you not address it
51:38
i'm like yo i'm not addressing
51:42
i'm not address me first and where you want me to address
51:44
because i'm addressing
51:45
now just where you want me to address it it of
51:48
are you not on on on a podcast
51:50
when i'm out in the trenches peripheral
51:52
dressing
51:53
what i would not do is i will not give
51:55
the power
51:57
that our young people have
51:59
to ne
51:59
circumstances situation
52:01
cause if there's a circumstances situation
52:04
that a human created
52:05
they have the power to overcome
52:08
there was a human that created
52:09
raping a human does as a human
52:12
you have works it's you could counter attack
52:14
the attack so for beat him
52:16
excuses
52:18
giving you an hour the making
52:20
your dreams and goals become reality and we can't
52:22
do that
52:23
like a week we had a no fly zone out
52:26
there is a no fly zone is annoys you so
52:28
i'd we cannot make excuses watch because
52:30
excuses create opportunities
52:33
for us not to make app so
52:35
when people say racism from
52:37
but mass effect
52:39
okay he gotta excuse you call
52:41
would have one call it is that will stop me a
52:43
dd from live in a lifestyle was both
52:45
mandelson me from pjs first class
52:47
and it's like oh stop me from dubai or whatever okay
52:50
what my main thing to call them as good as
52:52

poor years special brady police assistant

56:11
to the alibis
56:13
man to the world eating you know there's there's
56:15

56:22
to poor back into una support this project
56:25
so too is already done here thank you
56:27
know something else so we've got this framework
56:29
here to break out of it victim mentality
56:31
that truly it's it's something
56:34
that puts us in a straight jagger you know
56:36
it inhibits us from creating life that is
56:38
possible for us
56:40
doing that
56:41
when i put portion is critical
56:44
and now we get to their part where
56:47
even in that moment even when you were
56:49
experiencing homelessness
56:51
and still carry
56:54
your standard you still carry beast character
56:56
traits
56:58
that lead to
56:59
the person you are today
57:01
them in you talk about this in the book
57:03
by articulating kiss somebody maybe use okay
57:05
i'm not going to be a victim anymore going to take control
57:07
the my life
57:09
what do i do it my life i don't i'm
57:11
not you will not eric homicidal have
57:13
this talent and you talk about
57:15
activating
57:16
accessing are super power here so
57:19
sad about the yeah so
57:21
i believe that every human
57:24
well into the world with a gift or
57:27
gifts
57:28
whether that
57:30
you are supportive of other people
57:32
you know and
57:34
they can't get to where they
57:37
need to get
57:38
without the type of support you provide for
57:40
them
57:41
whether you are a leader
57:43
you have the ability to help people
57:46
move from one point to the next and
57:48
and i say that we could be was out i'm a leader
57:50
to me of you a pilot you're not getting
57:52
a plane fly yourself
57:54
you get in a plane fly somebody else to detonate
57:57
so real leaders a person to help other
57:59
people get from point a to
57:59
when
58:00
if you're like me like yo you just
58:02
provide fuel energy aspiration
58:05
to the world or if you're like
58:07
one of your many trick or treat your
58:09
strategic you know like you
58:11
have the ability to be analytical
58:13
think things through it make connections
58:16
idols are all gives
58:18
today it will we do sometimes
58:20
and i told my daughter's i couldn't believe my daughter was
58:22
going to this
58:23
data such a strong human
58:25

1:01:59
here was a little charged with fifty
1:02:02
or sixty people who absolutely loved
1:02:04
here and meet present get our to oak
1:02:06
worse as here are a couple hundred
1:02:09
years and loved me to as so you're looking
1:02:11
at now the millions that follow me
1:02:13
brass out the same way with the first speech
1:02:16
ever did was like your this is what i'm
1:02:18
bring it to the table for now yeah you
1:02:20
feel me a sump telling you those of
1:02:22
you listening
1:02:23
the want to be happy you want experience joy
1:02:25
stop wearing a some to the table whatever
1:02:28
that might be for your family what
1:02:30
a school when your community for the church
1:02:33
you start using your gift to help in the
1:02:35
people as in your space
1:02:37
that is the greatest fill in the world filling wanted
1:02:39
and needed feeling a sense of belonging
1:02:42
where's the greatest gift in a world yeah yeah
1:02:45
many gifts so many practical ways to
1:02:47
access their superpower
1:02:48
i remember cj saying that
1:02:51
one of those ways to find your gift is to
1:02:53
ask yourself what comes easy to you
1:02:55
as difficult for absolute right what
1:02:58
comes easy because a lot of hands are gift
1:03:00
we we negate it because
1:03:02
it's easy for isis natural to us
1:03:05
and you know especially
1:03:08
today when assume was distraction another big part
1:03:10
of this equation i could do said jane is good
1:03:12
scrolling on social media
1:03:14
we get distracted is another
1:03:17
not is a voice with thousands of other
1:03:19
voices
1:03:20
so we don't have that that still time
1:03:22
to quiet time to really look within ask these
1:03:24
questions a homeless
1:03:27
is
1:03:27
about as all homes was for me
1:03:30
was alone listening
1:03:32
to my boys or as and say listen
1:03:34
and was figuring out what my boys was
1:03:37
you know versus my boys are you must go over and
1:03:39
do that was like that's not my voice
1:03:41
a sailor's go do that
1:03:43
they're being raised enough to go
1:03:45
your my boy say said dude as are we not
1:03:48
bad to go do that and even when
1:03:50
he got to a point where
1:03:52
there was someone who was very influential
1:03:54
in the group
1:03:55
oh and look out for me in a way to group
1:03:57
and looked out for me it almost made me feel
1:04:00
guilty to do
1:04:01
i had to call on a higher power and praying
1:04:03
say
1:04:04
the guy know what to do that
1:04:08
in
1:04:09
i don't feel and he's like not
1:04:11
the powers and you
1:04:13
they know you could say no
1:04:15
be okay like your bike a love
1:04:17
you like you think that you case i know
1:04:20
this up in a you sort out with that
1:04:22
was his voice telling meet your
1:04:24
voices deeper than what you think your voices
1:04:26
you rely on you as it
1:04:28
like don't rely on me
1:04:30
meaning you know some people out what
1:04:33
i'm a believer abilities you allow god knows
1:04:35
what i was here to the creator say was
1:04:37

1:04:42
your voice and be obedient to your
1:04:44
voice the or like not my goal do

ourselves a big be a home
1:04:59
this is not as bad as i thought it was
1:05:01
because he gave me an opportunity here my boys
1:05:04
and more than the other voices when
1:05:06

1:05:17
yeah
1:05:18
i can't stress this enough is but is also one the
1:05:20
most challenging things today he you
1:05:22
know to to be able to look within to
1:05:25
have time for introspection
1:05:28
this so important in
1:05:30
we evolved with it for
1:05:32
centuries appoint centuries thousands upon
1:05:34
thousands of years and
1:05:37
there was no choice but to have time
1:05:40
with yourself right to be a to listen
1:05:42
to your own internal voiced today we're
1:05:44
inundated weird lombardi
1:05:47
twenty four seven
1:05:48
the other voices and prospectus
1:05:51
is so to unplug from that just a little bit
1:05:53
nor does a little bit was going to tend
1:05:55
to happen is going to be uncomfortable if you're not used
1:05:57
to it you know those feelings or
1:05:59
things we
1:05:59
the down kickstarter
1:06:02
faster up in emerge that is dave
1:06:04
was to address it you know i know you and the
1:06:06
guys recently deceiving talking about the
1:06:08
gps story or
1:06:10
your show on a pike as make sure to check our secret
1:06:13
to success podcast by
1:06:15
the way obliged you know you have you
1:06:17
have you guys also touched on
1:06:19
is very briefly but i thought it was so powerful
1:06:22
the understanding that anxiety is
1:06:24
not all bad and we just have this
1:06:27
negative label for the thing with
1:06:29
the actually had on had neuroscientist sitting right sitting
1:06:31
a chair
1:06:32
i were you are right now
1:06:34
and doctor windy suzuki
1:06:36
and the title for book is called good anxiety
1:06:39
all right is she was talking about
1:06:41
the important biological feedback that
1:06:43
him for anxiety can give him i heard
1:06:45
a developing the tools to be able
1:06:47
to
1:06:49
understand what is inside is trying to tell me
1:06:51
in to operate in a healthy weight vs
1:06:54
we're because you were
1:06:55
take something to suppress it would
1:06:58
do something to suppress it will ignore it
1:07:00
entertain me whatever and eventually
1:07:03
though that these in a car some dysfunction
1:07:05
whether is your body or your mind like
1:07:07
she said it
1:07:09
it it produces
1:07:11
that he produces you know if you let
1:07:14
it if you don't suppress it
1:07:16
this is actually gone take you to another lab get
1:07:18
here and i welcome
1:07:20

1:07:34
enjoyed his relationship in a way that clinton
1:07:36
tim fifteen years ago
1:07:38
yes
1:07:39
our bodies in a mice are intelligent
1:07:43
if you are not broken
1:07:45
it's just being able to better associate
1:07:47
with yourself and this is the key so
1:07:50
this brings
1:07:52
this probably my favorite quote in the book
1:07:55
the says you can change environments
1:07:57
but until you change yourself nothing
1:07:59
will
1:07:59
every check
1:08:02
i just have friends that you know
1:08:05
substance abusers
1:08:08

1:08:10

1:08:26

1:08:27

1:08:30
the environment follows the human
1:08:34
the environment fall of the human is not lie yo
1:08:36
i'm in this environment but when i leave
1:08:39
