Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews!!! This week we are continuing our "90s noir nostalgia" theme with the colorful and inventive Dick Tracy (1990)This film was a pleasent surprise for me! After the slightly disappointing Darkman (1990) from last week, I was expecting to be let down but was happy to be completely wrong about that assumption. I gave this film an 8.5/10 for doing pretty much everything write, from the set and art design, to the hair and make-up, the pitch perfect 30's era melodramatic acting, and the general ability to bring to life a comic strip onto the big screen. I can't rave about this film enough! Madonna was kinda weird but everyone else like Al Pachino and Warren Beatty did so incredibly well and now I want to see a new Dick Tracy movie in this new modern era of cinema!

Any Given Sunday you'll either win or you'll lose, but The Other Half podcast can be listened to every day, making YOU a winner. We watch the Oliver Stone movie about the game of football and the absolute brutality it takes on the human body and mind. In a stacked movie, Al Pachino plays an aging coach who has to help motivate a young quarterback played by Jamie Foxx, who is incredible in this movie. It's a brutal movie, so brutal the NFL wouldn't allow them to use their teams. But also this movie has something to say about the sport of football and how we treat all-star athletes.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-content

If you do a web search for Steve Tilston, most of the results will be about John Lennon. Lennon wrote a letter to a young Steve offering him advice, but Steve did not know about the letter until decades later. His story would eventually become the 2015 film Danny Collins starring Al Pachino. Steve's talked about this subject probably one thousand times and it might be the biggest thing that defines his career. However, there is so much more to talk about with Steve! He's worked with folk legends Fairport Convention, Bert Jansch, Maggie Boyle, Chris Smither and many more. His latest album, Such Times, has incredible energy and his signature British folk guitar playing.Steve talks about his partnership with the late Maggie Boyle and how she was instrumental in deepening his interest and knowledge of Irish music. He reflects on how his children's interest in music has kept him engaged and involved. This is the 50th anniversary of Steve starting up in the music business! We talk about all this.... and yes, we talk about the Lennon letter, too. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Recently began reading a book called Founder's Mentality by Chris Zook & James Allen that explores how a certain mindset has had a resounding and lasting impact on many of the world's most successful companies... In the very first chapter, 3 main traits that define the “Founder's Mentality” were exposed and laid out in all of their glory... Insurgent mission Owners mindset Obsession with the front line All too often I'll read or listen to a book and it takes hundreds of pages and many hours to get to the good stuff... Maybe it's my Attention Deficit Disorder hunger, but I LOVE when books don't screw around with foreplay and get right to the meat & potatoes... On that note, LET'S EAT.

All right. I'm going to get started a minute and I'll bring you in. So I'm pretty excited today. I'm popping my cherry with the best man to do it. Yes, that's that's me. and today we officially have the inaugural guest on the mind of George show. I'm pretty stoked about this on, Dom, who is on the show.Dominic, please pronounce your last name. "Qartuccio" And it's easier if you, if you do your fingers like this, if you do the Italian fingers, it's like 25% easier to say, you're listening, we're doing the fingers to each other. And that wouldn't make sense. But if you're driving, just put your knee on the wheel safely and you can do it.You know, the cartoon. If you're watching that, you're watching me mimic this out right now, but super stoked to be here. I'm super stoked to have him and super stoked to get into what we're doing into today, which you already know. Cause you listen to the intro, but Dom, before we get into any. Any of the weeds, anything you want to talk about and things we're gonna expand today?I have a really important question for you. Yeah. It hit me. What is the biggest thing, the mistake that you have ever made in business? The biggest mistake I ever made in business, you know, the biggest mistake I ever made in business was high. So to answer that biggest part of my background was 15 years in corporate and financial services. I've been an entrepreneur for four years. That wasn't my biggest. No, no, no. Yeah. I want to be very clear. I'm not vilifying my time in corporate, but what I will say, the biggest mistake I ever made was, was believing that someone else had more clarity around how I should be building my career than myself. And I always looked towards VP, senior VP CEOs in the corporate space to say, Dominic, this is what you should do next. This is what you're capable. This is your path. And I never believed that I could even be my own business owner. And so as soon as like, I recognize that, no, like I'm the one who calls the shots in my life.Not only did, I mean, be long for the corporate space, but it opened up this whole new world of freedom for me.And, Oh God, that's such a good kind of opening. So I kind of heard some of the takeaways in that, but like, what would you say both from a perspective of like staying in that corporate world when you had the clarity and then coming out. Into the entrepreneurial world with that clarity, like what is a lesson or a learning tip for you that was applied to the corporate world that do to kind of, you kind of not become a black sheep, but you, you kind of become a pivotal, the last set in the world of corporate. When you think like that and live like that. And then entrepreneurship, it has its own skill set. So can you just talk briefly, like what one of those takeaways were and how you applied it in corporate and then how you use that in your life and entrepreneurship as well? Yeah. I mean, one of the things that I learned in corporate is. In corporate, there's a lot of structure. There are systems, there are legacy systems I worked for, or 150 year old insurance company called Prudential. Financial is top 75. I think it's a corporate, 75,, Forbes, like one of the top 75 companies in the world. Sorry. I'm on fday our. Four of my five day fast. And sometimes I lose my thinking.Dom is doing an amazing, assistant fast and I'm proud of him. And he's watching us eat on calls cause domino talk a couple of times a week and we're eating on calls and drinking coffee. And he's like, what is it? Like, I want the details like. What's in it. What does it taste like? Like what's the texture like .George has got this like decadent iced coffee that has cinnamon almond milk and 30 grams of honey local honey. Like I've know it down to the detail. Cause I'm like, so craving that. And in 24, 48 hours, I will be there myself, but in the back to the answer, like in the corporate space, I learned about structure. I learned about systems. I learned about routines and those were suffocating to many degrees in the corporate space, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to break free. But in the entrepreneurial world, I see so many creative thinkers, so many big ideas, so many different ways of doing life. But I also, I also see a lack of structure.I see a lack of an ability to execute, to create a big vision that may take years to execute on and then to show up on a daily basis and to get it done. So, yeah, like I think that was one of the biggest things that I've been able to take over from my corporate days is to provide that structure. With freedom to get big things done.I love it. So, yeah. And when I hear that, it's really interesting. Right? Cause I can not world when we work for somebody else in their structure, it's like suffocating, right? And then we come out and we work for ourselves. And like, for me personally, when I left the Marine Corps, I was like, screw this like 12 years of like 3:00 AM, wake ups and blah, blah, blah, blah and that lasted for about six months until I realized that there was some truth to a lot of it. I just didn't like it being forced upon me. I wanted to enforce it on myself. And then literally my path forward has been trying to find ways to get back to that level of discipline and structure. But with this new lens of applying it to my business, Same thing with you, right?I was gonna say, like I grew up Catholic school, seven years of Catholic school followed a lot of rules, grew up with a family that was loving as like, they're amazing, but also lots of rules. I learned how to follow rules, follow rules and structure. And I was great inside that system because I knew what to do in order to get the praise. It's a to please the people who set the rules, but that felt equally suffocating. And over time I was really resentful of it. Now I thrive like crazy when they're structure, I thrive in a morning routine, thrive with an evening routine, thrive with the daily meds, imitation practice.We'll get into practices and all the things that I do on a daily basis, but I want it to be my fucking choice and like once, once it became my choice and it took me a while to learn like how to make my own decisions. In a powerful way because I'd let so many people make so many of my own decisions for me for so much of a period of time in my life, I had to, it was like, kind of like, you know, that baby deer kind of like knees buckling into each other for a little while now. I'm really good at knowing how to make these choices in my life, where I can have enough structure, enough, flexibility, enough freedom at different points in time to get the things done that I want to do.I love it. And I think it, that leads me to like, when you were talking like Nelson Mandela popped into my head, when you said that, like you said, that. I want to create the structure like, ah, yeah. Oh my God. It's really weird, man. For those of you listening right now, Dom and I are on video and he has a Nelson Mandela book on his desk that I could not see. Please vouch for me. I could not see that. But if literally the only book on my desk, it's the prison letters of Nelson Mandela, and I, and like you, so go ahead.And what, what I think is so important and one of the reasons that I lean into you Dom so much, so, so Dom just for everybody's reference, Dom is a friend, a soul brother, also a mentor, a mentee, we trade roles in each other's lives often. And Dom, you, I'm going to speak about you. Like you're not here. Dom you are somebody that I lean in to a lot when it comes to, like leadership and grounded leadership and reflection, like you are a master of, I would call it like. Discipline and intentionality together and showing itself in real life form, but from a heart centered, moving forward place, not obsessive, not like, Oh, you're like a hard ass or like, well, my mama, like, no, like from a very heart centered approach, like. Understanding that the secret here is leading yourself first.And so one of the things I asked 'em before the episode fair, but he listening is, I told him, I said, Hey, I want to be different than everybody else. And this is kinda how I roll. And so, Hey, whatever, you know, to be the best of the best that you have. I want you to give it to everybody on the episode for free to put it into practice today.And so Dom, at the end of the episode, he's going to basically give you a couple steps or a step by step process to. Understanding the secrets to leadership and leading yourself first, which is the biggest secret here. But Dom, can you just give us like a good 30, 45 second, like what that entails and what people are gonna be looking forward to and like what that really means in their life?Absolutely in my work, I work with a lot of leaders that are very successful. And what they are constantly asking me for when they bring me into work with them, teams is how do I get my people to get more done? How do I get them to work with more urgency? How do I hold them accountable? And those are three relevant questions, but they're the wrong ones, because none of those questions are addressing the most important person in the room, which is the leader themselves. Like, how is the leader mastering the art of leaving him or herself first, before trying to impose their leadership style upon others. And almost every time that I went into an organization, small business or whatever, I found that the leader was embodying the very behaviors that they wished to either transform or vanquish in the people that they're leading.So if they're looking for urgency in their employees, they're embodying the very lack of urgency. That they wish their employees demonstrate. If they want to get more things done, the more important things done. There are people I'm finding that they're not getting the most important things done and that's vibrating and emanating through the lower levels of the organization.I love it. I'm stoked. So we're gonna do that the end of the episode, because I want you guys to listen to the context here. Dom is a, he's a, he's a walking mic drop, and I think it's important. But at the end, I want you to, I want you to listen through this episode through the lens of what lands for you, right? Like we're going to be talking about leadership and listening and self care and humility and results and the things that come in life. And some of them are gonna stick for you. You're listening. You can listen again. You can call me back, but at the end, I want you to be intentional. You can just save the last 10 minutes of the episode and you can pin it for later.If you're driving pin it for later, if you're at the gym pin it for later. And I want you to be intentional with it, which is one step in leading yourself first, which is creating containers, which I just recorded an episode on this morning and using that thinking time. But I want you to really take, and I want you to give it the love and the attention that it deserves, because what I will tell you about leadership and what Dom will assure echo is his leadership is about giving it the intentionality and the, the awareness of it is what makes the biggest shift, not necessarily the doing this or the implementation of it.It's the, the awareness of it. So at the end, You know, whatever it's five minutes or 10 minutes. I want you to keep that part. And I want you to set some time, a pocket of time to listen to it, put it down on paper, put it into practice test and apply it to the lens of your life because. The truth is in Dom said this at the very beginning of the episode, when you Dom, where we're talking about structure, and we have these bee hags, these big, hairy, audacious goals that we want to get too, but yet we miss the connection to that vision.And so every day we'll be working, thinking we're going towards that goal, but we're not really, we're distracted. We're off charts. We're a little bit here. We need a little bit of patience and today, and in every episode like this, and especially when you listen to these things, if you take one thing. Take 10 minutes with intentionality and you put that into practice today and you continue that practice tomorrow. You tweak it and tweak it and tweak it. You ended up hitting a different continent if you change that compass, you know, one or two degrees. And so I'm super, super excited about that. And before we get any further down, I think it's really important that people know where to find you. You know, we're going to be covering a lot today and, and my job here is to help. Kind of expand your message. And so for everybody listening, you know, Dom has an amazing podcast. So Dom, can you just tell them the best place to find you the name of your podcast? Not waiting to the end of the episode window? The podcast is called "the great man within" podcast, the great man within, and you can find that anywhere podcasts are downloaded and it's, we speak towards men who are looking to discover and live the great man that's inside of them. Every guy's got the guy he lives today. And then there's this greatness inside of him. That's lying, dormant, constantly speak to, right? So we speak to the, we speak to purpose. We speak to intention. The things that light you up and give you ultimate performance in every single day. And George, one of the things that I really want to bang on that you just talked about one of the biggest misconceptions about purpose. Cause most of the guys who come to me are looking for purpose. They feel a sense of restlessness that they have more in the tank that they have potential. They haven't tapped it. They know how to get at it. There's this belief, that purpose is some massive thing that exists way off in the future that requires years or decades or a lifetime to experience.And I played that game for many years in my life, constantly feeling like it was out, out there and not here. And what you just talked about is the secret to purpose is really purposes lived on the day, told right through inspired action through feeling that aligned. It's like, Oh, like I can find, I can be lit up in the mundane parts of my existence, or I can find, I can be lit up knowing that I'm chopping wood and carrying water.The Buddhist philosophy of the path to enlightenment is chopping wood. Carrying water. And if you can find peace and reverence in the smallest of things, cause you know what it's in service of that happens here today. Every moment, like in, in any moment that's available. So when I, when I made the shift of, Oh, purpose is not this big thing, that's separate from me in the future but it's here right now. Then my days became much more vibrant. Then my days became more mysterious and exciting. It was like every day there was a new gift to open up if I chose to see it. And, and that's one of the reasons why I joined your mastermind is because. I could feel that emanating from you. You live that every single day and there's, you can clearly see and feel the people who are living that everyday versus the people who set bee hags, and they talk all day long about bee hags, and they seem miserable every day that they're living that Beehag cause they think that what they're looking for is out there.I want to jump in on this and we're diving into this now. So, everybody just so you know, women too. One of the things that I teach people all the time is don't put a label or container on it. Dom is a master at teaching principles that can be applied to audit the masculine or the feminine. And also what I love about, people like Dom, I listened to a lot of podcasts that are women oriented only to have a better understanding of me and my wife and my daughter and how I relate to them. And so give it a listen. And by the way, husbands boyfriends just slide an episode into their DMS. Hey honey, I found this, this dude's awesome, right? Like just, yeah. Trojan horse, man. It'd be like Dom told me to write advocate your responsibility in it, but send it in there, send it in there. And if you don't mind, if I jump in on that too, actually, one of the, the number one way that people find on my podcast is our women listener audience is so big. They're the ones, they're the number one ones who are pulling it, like doing what you just suggested. They're bringing their men in because many of the episodes that we have, we bring on. Like women experts, some amazing women guests on there dropping mind blowing bombs. Sure. Go ahead. Tell her number one was our number one most downloaded episode. We run a podcast for men. Our number one most downloaded episode is "a man's guide to the menstrual cycle". And we had a, a few women who wrote the book wild power, who run the red school to come on and teach our listeners the four seasons of a woman's menstrual cycle. And look what we can do to support what may be needed. And that episode is like by far and away our most. I love itand one of the things that you just said, I want to dive into this purpose thing, right? And you gave me a credit. So thank you heard, received, publicly. And, I got there by accident, big, hairy audacious goals, scared the shit out of me because there's a part of me that believes that I can almost get it and have it, which challenges my belief system as a human based on my paradigm. Right. And so I find that when I set big, hairy, audacious goals and I focus on them, I tend to deter down these paths of self sabotage. And so for me, understanding myself not really anymore, but understanding myself as that, it was also more supportive of me to have a tight container of like living my purpose.Like, what's the difference I'm going to make today? What is the lever I'm going to pull today? That is going to at least get me, my family, my team, and my customers. One step closer to all of us being in our goals and that mindset. Came out of survival, right? Like it came out of fear and scarcity and survival, but it also became a very powerful tool because. In order to be able to live in the moment every day, I have to have a solid foundation, things that work and they're supposed to work. Right. And, you know, that's like, I, I'm not going into my group. Like pretty, you know, pretty unique, like I'm tattered, scarred bruise. Like I live and I live hard and sometimes I pay for it, but I also do the same thing in business.And so when you talk about this Dom, you know, A massive something that landed hard for me last week that I read was depression comes from thinking about the past that anxiety comes from worrying about the future. And I think right in that moment, the third stands up to that, that I would add. And happiness comes from being in the presence you should like right now, which is purpose, like presence is purpose. And, you know, I want you to expand upon this, but I did want everybody listening to share. I think for the, I'm getting emotional, I think with entrepreneurs, I feel like the world that we live in, even as humans is, is from a paradigm perspective, set us all up to fail. Like it's supposed to look a certain way.It's supposed to feel a certain way. We can only share about certain things. Like you have to want Rolexes and private jets. You have to be flexing. You have to be boom. And nobody talks about just finding a fucking smile in a room full of entrepreneurs that are there sharing the same goal and enjoying that moment and realizing that that moment's never coming back. And it's fleeting. Right? I watch people like everyone's like when you go to events, you state the whole time, like these are amazing people. I just want to connect with them like, Oh, I'm going to go get ready for four hours. I'm going to go give my speech. Then I'm not talking to anybody. I'm like why? Like, I'm here to talk to people. Like I'm here to community, like community to create connection. Like, this is my purpose. Like, this is. Yeah, like, this is all I have. And you're somebody who exemplifies this and nails this, but everybody listening, like I think it's just really important to pull the veil back on entrepreneurs.And like, I'll be the first one to rip the curtain back that I didn't get to this point of like living hard and living happy and finding joy in the moment because like, I was trained on me. Like it was the only way I could survive and I've spent most of my life depressed and an anxiety in the old days of setting those goals. Like Lindsay, my wife used to come to me. And she used to be like, Hey babe, you know, like I, in one day, this is what I want our dream house to be in. Like, I want these horses and I would break down crying and go and break down for three days. Cause my brain only heard tomorrow. I'm like, how am I going to have a $5 million property in 60 for horses and rescue wild horses tomorrow? And she's like, No, like sometime in the next 40 years it will be, Oh, why can't I share goals? Right. But it was like, I had so much anxiety about the future because I was like, Oh, can I create that too? I have that role to add that. And I was disconnected from that moment. Like that moment, where in that moment there was joy. There was expression. There was. Happiness. There was like future pacing and casting of like positive energy and manifestation. And for years I missed it because I was way too out there in the weeds. And so, I did want to share that for everybody, because I think it's important to know that no matter what level you reach as an entrepreneur, as a, as a human, as a person in life, what we reach as we reach a new level of game where the practice gets harder, but the results are also 10 times greater.When you stick it out and it all comes in that purpose. So I would love to kind of dive into that. So do you have any, you know, from your perspective, you coach a lot of high level, fortune 5,100, you know, people, corporate America that are higher achievers and in my, and I'm just going to rip the bandaid off in my, in my perspective, live transactionally, right?Like, boom, boom, boom. Get this some Kimbo, but not all of them. Yeah. But like the world in which they live. Is predicated on that. Right? It's the old boys club politics, the transactions. And like, I think what's up amazing about you is you lived in that corporate world. Well, you found your purpose and figured out a way to mesh the two. And I think it's really powerful. So yeah. So can you dive into that and talk about that for everybody? Like what that looks like living in that purpose. And then now you have an open floor here. I think one of the things you said is really important about why so many of us are seeking and craving purpose is to provide that anchor and stability and clarity in the present moment. For why we're doing what we're doing. Why does it make sense to wake up every day? Like what, like, why am I laboring? And if you know what it's in service of, then it gives you a reason to do the hard work. It gives you a reason to deal with the frustrating clients. It gives you a reason to deal with the rejection.And so that's why we're seeking purpose is because we want clarity in these present moments, but we don't, we lose sight of that sometimes. Yeah. I think what we've, what we've distorted purpose to mean is. When I slay that dragon, when I hit that, Beehag when I climbed that mountain, then I'm going to unlock this series of feelings that I have been unable to access at up until this point in my life. And once my business hits seven figures, once my biggest business, it's eight figures. Once, once my business does the billion dollar mark, then I will feel the thing. And, and, and, and those things are great goals to have, but it's misguided because whenever you hit that place, You find out that the feeling is transient and you can study this with every anyone who's climbed those mountains, right?You listen to Jim Carey who talks about this. I wish everyone could be rich and famous. You can realize that being rich and famous is not all it's cracked up to be. You can talk to Phil Jackson. Who's coached 11 NBA championships with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal. He'll tell you when he won his first championship as a player on the New York Knicks, back in the seventies. He was excited for a few days. And then he realized it didn't really make much of his life that much easier. Sure. He's got more money, a little bit more fame, but what, but like, but nothing really changed. And so what he realized, and he's a deep spiritual practitioner, he realized it's super deep, learn how to blend Buddhism Christianity, studying the Lakota tribe and native Americans and brought all of that into actually coaching six NBA championship teams with the Chicago bulls and five more with the Lakers.What he found was purpose is being deeply engaged in whatever it is you're doing in the moment. Now here's the other thing I want to bring on that I've learned that purpose also requires an ability to hold paradox. And what I mean by holding paradox is if you think about Eastern philosophy, it's all about. All there is, is the present moment. All there is is now happiness is in the, now you talked about right, like depression is from being consumed with the past. Anxiety is fear of the future. Like being in the present moment. Absolutely. I was for a sense of purpose allows for a sense of peace. But if you only lived for the moment without consideration for the fact that there are downstream effects, there are, there is a future you're going to get older. Your kids have college tuition that need to be paid for like there's. All of these parents are aging. If you ignore the fact that there's a future, then you're also going to have a lot of pain as you, as you move into the future. So Western philosophy focuses a lot on what's in the future built growth, right? Set goals, crush goals. So if you're able to actually hold the paradox of yes and, okay. Yes. It's only about the present moment and it's also about like an eye towards the future. Yes. It's all about building a proper future and also being present with what is right now. I forget who said this, like the, there's a quote that says. The, like the, the characteristic of a first rate intelligence is being able to hold two mutually opposing views at the same exact time and not have your head explode. Well, what I'm asking you to do is to hold both of those. Yes. We have an eye towards the future. Yes. We have like a need for now. That is where purpose exists. If you can find that overlap. I love it. And I'm. I'm the, I'm the, I'm the single color crayon and the whole box of 32 crayons. So paradox to find paradox for me. Cause I use paradigm all the time. But when you say paradox is at holding, almost like two conflicting beliefs, is that what that is? Like? What does that mean? Paradox is holding two opposing ideas at the same time and allowing both to be true.I love it. And I think, I think what you said, I want to dive into this one thing you said that, and I catch this all the time and this was something that I struggled with for years was that. That toxic thinking, right? Like, I'll do this when I'll have this, when I'll go to the gym on Monday or I'll start eating clean next week, or I'll take a vacation when I hit seven figures. Right. Like I'm basically, you know, I'm shooting my life away. Right. Like I just, I just don't realize it yet. and the reason I say that, and I think you might've read this there's one book that I read or listen to about once a month. That absolutely changed the way in which I see this. And it's called the little book of clarity by Jamie smart. It's only a three hour listen or like a, if you're a speed reader, not me, but Jim Kwik taught me how to do that. I'm just not fast at it. Probably read it like two, it took me like eight, but it's called and I recommend everybody have it.It's it's so simple. It's mind blowing and it's all about that. What he calls toxic thinking, right? It's that robbing yourself of the moment. And then thinking and putting meaning. And definitions on what it might look like when you get there. But I want to dive into this further, cause you said something and I'm going to ask the devil's advocate question. Like, how are we great Dom? Like. I get to live with purpose every day. Right. But right now, current state of the world or any state of the world, and I don't want to use those words on this. Sure. I love that. Right. I live with purpose. Right. But I can't pay my bills. I can't pay my mortgage. Right. Like things happen for the first time I went from being a millionaire broke. I lost a company. Right. Like I get this. So I believe this is true. Right. But me from my story, struggling with, you know, suicidal ideations, attempted suicide depression. Hospitalizations. I was like, yeah, I'd love to live in purpose.And like, you can tell me a Lotus analogy all day, but I feel like I was living under eight feet of dog shit and it was just pressing down on top of me. And it's like, yeah, I, in that moment I said, screamed like to the point where like, Hey, I will never kill myself, but that's what it feels like. I'm so lost. And I'm so done. Like, can somebody help me, like get to that point? And so where do you see. You know the intersection of that, because it's fun now on the other side for me to sit here and talk like, Oh, I have my parents everyday. I have it. Right. I got champagne problems. I got champagne problems. Cause I went through this. And so there's, and I think what was powerful for me is like, it's like this duality. And I think for me, I mixed it up that like, in order for me to have purpose and or happiness, I also had to feel a certain way or have it look a certain way. Rather than recognizing that there both they're all lanes on the same highway of my life. And I have to drive on all of them. I might have to stay in one longer than the other, but there's kind of like this duality where, you know, the purpose comes through the practice. And the intentionality and the discipline of getting there. And then it, in my opinion, it kind of like snowballs, right? You hit a tilting point, but like, how do you navigate that?You coach so many people on this. And I know there's people listening. Like I love this and I want this, or they're in their job and they want to have a, be an entrepreneur or they love what they do, but they don't have the impact or they have eight things that they want to do to the world, but they don't have the means right now. And it's a part of that kind of patience and structure and mixed into purpose. So what are your thoughts on that? The start with a story that will lead to the answer to your question. So for the last three and a half months, I've been doing a relentless number of webinars to clients, small companies like Que kitchen, large companies like Prudential, financial and other investment institutions and a bunch of others.By the way, Tom, I was just gonna to say, I feel like every single one of my friends that worked in corporate America, every one of them worked at Prudential. Did they, everyone, I have, I have 10 friends on the top of my head right now, all in different areas. I worked at Prudential worked or Prudential work. I'm like, who are these people, man with man. And it's a great place to build a career if, if you, if you're down for that kind of thing. So over, over that period of time, I had a chance to pull about 2000 participants, 2000 people who are on those webinars. And I asked them one simple question. What's one word that best describes how you're feeling right now and then just pop it in the chat box and Kelly who's my chief operating officer scraped all those answers. We put them into a word cloud. Now the word cloud, basically, if you don't know what a word cloud is, the, the size of the word on the word cloud determines how many or it basically is, is indicate indicative of how many people have said that word. About 80 to 90% of the words were negative emotions. Anxious was the biggest one, overwhelmed sausage, afraid, tired were the other biggest ones. And then there were like hundreds of other words that buffer does now. What I found from the very first week of quarantine to 12 weeks later, those were the same answers I was getting. There was very little movement in the responses I was getting from different populations. They were responding the same way, which indicated to me, George, that. Many of us are feeling negative feelings. Think about this. Like if 80% of your family members, 80% of your clients, 80% of your staff are feeling and walking around with perpetual negative sentiments. It's very difficult for behavior and for energy to change when we're bouncing off of each other from exhaustion, from fatigue, from anxiety, from fear, when we bounce off of each other, we perpetuate.So what it takes is leaders to actually start to ask. The first question is to get really clear on number one. What am I feeling right now without judgment? I'm giving you a process right now. There's three steps to this. Number one is what is it that I'm feeling right now without judgment? And if you're talking about like, I'm depressed right now. Like depression, just naming it and not beating yourself up for it. And I don't know if that's possible, cause I have not been, I've not, I've not stepped into that place of depression. I certainly know what it feels like to be in a funk in a dark place for periods of time. I've been through 12 step programs and recovery. So I have that history, but even if it's just like, okay, I'm anxious. That's the first step is number one, knowing what it is you're feeling without judgment. Second thing is what is it that I want to feel? This is why so many people got stuck for 12 or 13 weeks feeling negative sentiments is because they haven't asked that second question.What do I want to feel? And when you can identify, well, if I'm anxious, it's unlikely that I'm going to be lit up from purpose in the next 24 hours. Maybe just getting to neutral is a huge win because I've been living with anxiety eat for 12 weeks. If I can move from anxious to neutral, that is a win Abraham Hicks who talks about law of attraction.Abraham Hicks says when you are in a negative place, emotionally or feelings wise, you're only looking for the thoughts that will provide you relief. Relief that's it. And it could be a really small step, like one rung on a ladder going from I'm depressed to purpose. That's the grand Canyon sized gap you're set and yourself up for failure, right. Going from maybe sad or uncertain or fearful to, I've got momentum. Don't know what that looks like, but what thought can bring you there? So, first question is, what am I feeling? Second question is what do I want to feel? And the third question is. What tool do I have available to me to move from where I am, to where I want to go.And that tool could be meditation. That tool could be directing my thoughts with intentionality deliberately directing my thoughts, because my thoughts are wild horses right now. What if I could actually just guide them to something that gives me a sense of relief unicorns, a tool could, right. A tool could be listening to George's podcasts too. It could be listening to mine, a toolkit. What are the different tools at your disposal to shift where you are to where you want to go? Cause when you use those tools, you are in purpose, you are on purpose. Like just going from like that, that, you know, like where I am to where I want to go. You are actually on purpose. Even if it's moving from a really low point to just one step higher, that is actually on purpose. And I want to dive into this. You and I talk about this a lot. You, you, me and Stefano talked about this a lot, right? We, we coach many and we coach people. We coach entrepreneurs and to take this toxic thinking to a deeper level, even understanding the topic of toxic thinking and trying to fix it is also toxic thinking because it's in the doing of it. Right? And we talk about this all the time. That really, as a human, our biggest win, like the ultimate level of enlightenment is just awareness.Because when you are aware, you are plug in and you see the field, you see all of the levers, you see the inputs, the outputs and where, and it's almost like you're standing at 30,000 feet looking down at you and your life. And you're like, Oh, that's how I feel. And then on the other side, like that's how I want to feel. And there's this gap in the middle. But when you're aware, you can figure out what bridge to build. How long does it need to be? What strengthened my driving over a walking over it, right? There's 22 bridges into Manhattan, right? If you need to make a new one, just for you to walk over, you're probably not going to end.You know, construct the Brooklyn bridge, right? Like you can just throw like a rope bridge and walk across. Right. And it kind of depends on the situation. And so to sum this up, like what this sounds like is that this is like a three step process for emotional awareness and liberation, right? Emotional awareness and liberation.And so step number one is basically pattern interrupting ourselves to a point where we go from being the, the viewer of the feeling of the life of the body and the brain again, to the person directing the moving is that's kinda how it feels to me. Right. I lived with this. Right. And just so everybody knows, I'm pretty open about this. I've been hospitalized, psychiatric wards. I've been in and out of them. I've been in some dark, dark, dark places. And the biggest struggle for me and anybody in Dom's been through 12 step programs as well. So we know this and. You know, the biggest challenge for me is that in that moment, in those situations, I logically understood that it wasn't real, but I didn't have the capacity or the vision to understand that it wasn't really going to happen.Like there was so much dissonance where it's like, it felt so real. And like I was going to die in that moment or my life was going to be over because of that. I call it the toxic cesspool of shit in my head, knowing that only 80 out of, out of all memory, 80% of it is constructed by our brain. Only 20% is accurate, but yet I believe it to be a hundred percent true.And so,I love it. So step number one is awareness, right? So the goal here is whenever you're in a situation that's, unideal disconnect from purpose, right? Let's and listen like this, this bull Shipley vive, I shit, unicorn and rainbows every day. And I'm just happy all the time. Like, no, you only have happiness because of the polarity of the other side. Right. We have to understand that ranges of emotion support us as humans. So for me, number one, awareness. So identify with as much accuracy as possible. What I'm feeling in that room without judgment, no fault, no blame, no guilt, no shame. Just identifying the feeling. For what it's like, Oh, that's interesting. I'm feeling X or I'm feeling Y and I think one caveat here is not saying I am depressed or I am sad, but looking at it, say, I feel depressed. I'm not taking shorts ship of those feelings and I'm summarizing your stuff for me and everybody listening, who listens to me all the time. So then step number two. And I think Dom, this is something I struggled with when a lot of stuff happens in my life is that I'm so deep in the weeds of what it is that I am feeling with judgment. That I'm complaining or I'm sad that I'm there, but I couldn't tell you where I want to be. I don't know, like for me as somebody who struggled in that spot, right. It's so easy to be like, I want to be happy, but even that thought alone in that state doesn't sound good because there's a part of me that was comfortable in depression. There was a part of me that was comfortable in, in there, cause the familiarity and the things like that. And I think that's step two alon is probably the single handed biggest needle mover for me personally, business life relationships. So when Lindsey and I are having issues and she was like, Oh, I don't want this. And like, I'd be like I do. But I would say yes all the time, because I didn't really know what I wanted. And then she feels set up to feel alone nda happened in the business with my kids, with friends, everything, and like really taking the time to know like, this is where I want to be. Right. Like I did a podcast on this. There's no only two ways to win in business simplicity and clarity, and the simplicity part you can't have until, you know, where you want to go and you find the path, the least resistance to get there. And so for me, step two is like, what do I want to feel? And I think what you said is like even, or reduction in this or a neutrality of like, just feel present or safe or.Anything that will give you a sense of relief, right? Like if you're in a negative state, anything that will give you a sense of relief is a notch. And then the third one, what I love is once you know, where you want to be, you just have a gap and the gap might be small, might be big, but then you have to figure out what's the best bridge to build that gap. And I'm going to ask you about this, cause this is something that works for me. What I've also realized is that the echo chamber of my own brain is the most dangerous spot to try to build that bridge. And so for me, And I've talked about this a lot and I would love your thoughts on this. So when I think about like, what tools do I have, the first tool I go to is voice and truth. Right? And so using what I've come up with and finding somebody in mind, or a post or recording or writing it down, getting it out of my brain and into tactile, right? Like into the world and giving it texture. Is what neutralizes a lot of it for me. And so, when we think about tools, we of course have podcasts, meditations. We have all of that stuff. For me personally, you know, we're tribal creatures, in my opinion, we love of people. We belong in community people. So for me, when I think about the tools tool that I go to is communication, like getting out and I even speak it out loud, Dom. So do you have any thoughts on that? Like what do you recommend, how people navigate that or what they do to kind of free that up? A hundred percent. And especially with my work with men, I'm going to give a men's specific answer. Men tend to go at these types of things on our own, right. We're rugged individualists. So we want to figure everything out on our own because we've been taught. If you don't, then there's something weak about you. Or even if like, even if we don't, I subscribed to that weakness thing, we have just been unpracticed at learning how to articulate, like what, like act to actually feel a feeling to name that a feeling most of the men that I work with don't know what they're feeling.They're blocked. They're stuck, but they can't articulate it or they can't articulate. Like what's the, like the nuances of it, which makes it really difficult to actually then go and seek it help, like, or to ask for support. So when it comes to men, I run a mastermind, the great man mastermind, which is built off the back of the great man within podcasts. We've got 22 guys who were working together for the next year on like discovering and living the best version of themselves. And that's done with the intention of guys coming together and recognizing that personal development on your own, it's slow, it's shallow, it's incomplete. And so if you do not know, I have a group of other men in your life that you can go to, to open up and say, here's what I'm struggling with. Here's what's wrong. And, and, and then when you do open up to them, you're not. Machine gunfire, spattered with a bunch of advice, right? Like you're not like your guys in your life, like guys are really good at giving advice. Like what you don't want is a bunch of guys who give advice on things that they don't know, nothing about.You want to talk to the guys who actually seek to listen, seek to hear you seek to understand. And then provide support and guidance and maybe give advice if solicited, right. You and I have had conversations around this. I'm a master of giving advice. Cause I'm the master of not wanting to do the work. Cause it gets uncomfortable with it. Then I have people like, you'd be like, Hey, shut up. I'm like, sorry bro. Yeah. And we all need to shut up sometimes. Totally. And I think finish this thought and then I have an opening for you, a deeper level of his thought. I would just say that, you know, like one of the things that breaks my heart the most is when I talk to men, there was a guy who was considering coming into my mastermind, who eventually did where he was like, you know, Dominic, I have a wife, I love who loves me. I have kids who I love more than anything in this world, a job that really respects and values me. And he's awesome at his job. But when I go to bed at night, like when, when everyone goes to bed at night and I'm the last one awake, I feel like I'm alone in this world. And there are many men who I've had share an iteration of that story with me, because there are so many. There are so many men who. Feel alone because there are these portals inside of them that they have not yet discovered that they don't even know about. Therefore, how could anyone else have access to them when you don't have access to that. Oftentimes men need to be in the company of other men who are doing the inner work, who have the ability. To feel a feeling, to name a feeling, to sit with that feeling and to express that feeling with others. So one of my biggest tools, like one of the biggest things that I evangelize on the podcast and anywhere I go is guys find your tribe. And oftentimes it's going to take you who are listening right now to take your relationships with the men in your life. A little bit deeper asking deeper questions, being vulnerable and opening up first. I can tell you that there are so many men. Who are craving and waiting for someone to show up and be the first mover. And as soon as you were the one to do that, you'll be shocked at how many other guys are ready and willing and able to go there with you and women and women as well.I think this is applicable across the board and so when you, when you say a lot of that stuff, and all of this resonate to me, it's all, it's all true. the one thing I think it took me probably. I don't know, you know, this I've probably invested over seven figures, just in personal development, coaching therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, prolonged exposure. MTMA assisted psychotherapy. I'll also like you, you name it. I mean, like. I've played. I play hard in the paint, right? Like I go there like, Hey George, you like football? My like, okay, cool. Let's play on the Patriots for the super bowl. I got it. And then I ended up broken about her, but I come out a better person on the other side but I think Dom, I think there's a part of this that when I think about leadership, when I think about. You know, let's call it personal development. I call it just growth and awareness. Right? When we think about all of this, there's another trap for me besides the purpose trap or the big, and by the way, when we say big bhag, it's a term that's been thrown out, it's it stands for big, hairy, audacious goal.And there's a ton of stuff out there. There's three hag and all this other stuff. But yeah when I think about it, Tom, I think. Underneath that there was another trap that I fell into. What I didn't realize was there, which was the finish line trap or the finality trap, right. When these emotions come up or when I get, you know, emotionally liberated or when I step into a new rung of leadership or I open up communication, my trap was, Oh, I made it. It's just going to work by self or, Oh, I healed it. It's going to stay gone forever. Or I have this new, new level of communication with my team. It's going to maintain itself like, Oh, I planted the flower. It's going to now water itself on its own. Right. And it took me a long time and a whole lot of self acceptance and healing to get to the point where I'm like, I would have the moments like, Oh, I feel this way. I feel sad and I'm not judging myself. Right. And so then I liberate it, but then the moment sadness comes up again, I make myself bad and wrong cause, Oh, I feel sad again. I thought I went through this already. I thought this was there. So can you talk about, you know, from your perspective, like we're talking about all of this and just so everybody understand, these are the secrets to success. These are the secrets to leadership. These are the secrets, the "secrets that everybody you idolize that we do behind the scenes and we coach them on to get here". Right. And you see the public persona. These are the secrets, but I think Dom for me, I would love your thoughts on. You know, you live this by example, right.And there's days that we all fall out of practice. Right. And you know, just like your emotional liberation process, it's like, Oh, it's awareness. Like, Oh, what was I supposed to be doing today? Oh, this, Oh, I didn't do it. Not judging myself. Where do I want to be back in practice? Well, what tool gets me back on there?I think there's also this in, in our world, in the culture that we live in entrepreneurial, right. Business owners, you know, self-starters leaders that once we hit that finish line, or once we slay the dragon, per say, if you're a Joseph Campbell kind of guy that the game's over and there's that last step where you have to go back, teach the village, everything that you learned and then the next dragon comes. So how do you navigate that process? Do you have any advice for people of like, you know, like for me, and I'll just speak for experience for 20 seconds, is it okay almost became harder to grow because my, I was just exhausted. I was like, come on, like, can I just get a break? Like, can this just work? And I had this really unhealthy relationship because I was like, I beat depression on how it's going to come back. Like, it's almost easier to stay yeah. Than it is to what it felt like is like it was in the Mexican crab pot. Right. If you ever use that analogy. Yeah. You put Mexican crabs in a whole one. We'll try to climb out, but the other ones always grab it back down and they never let one get out. And that's kind of what it felt like. And so, I don't know if you can talk on that at all. That last piece was super important to hear cause what I'm hearing from you is when you were growing, when you were battling the demons, when you were slaying the dragons, it required every last ounce of your effort and then some. And then when you finally came up for air. You just wanted it. You just want a time to breathe. You just want a time to recover and, and your, your, your mechanism for that was, Oh, I'm done. You saw it as a finite game. And because, because like everything that it took to get there, and the reality is is that the journey is never complete.And there's a beautiful part of that, because that means we're always getting better. That means that there's always parts of ourself that we can fall deeply more deeply in love with there's ways to surprise ourself. And the other trap that we fall into when we're playing the infinite game is that the speed of go is the only speed at the speed of go, right.AndGeorge, like, you know that, that's something that I know that like, you, you feel many times, right? We're just like, I've got to go. I've gotta go. And I've seen this for myself too. Cause I'm I get maniacal, especially when it comes to like personal development, you see this with people in business, especially entrepreneurs, the only speed is go.And then, you know you do this big thing. Maybe it's. You raised money or maybe you bought a company, maybe you just hired 50 new employees, and then like you, you kind of get over that hump of that massive expenditure and yeah. Instead of giving yourself a period to like integrate that to give self care to not need to do anything more, to not achieve, to not set that next step, big, hairy, audacious goal to actually just like, be like, no, my work is never done and, and I'm going to take this period of time where I know that if I fill my tank, if I fall back in love with the business, which maybe I fell a little bit out of love as I was grinding myself to enough, maybe I can give myself a chance to refill my tank and then I get to choose. What's the next dragon I choose. I plan on slaying. That's a different kind of game than feeling like you always have to be on go or. Deluding yourself that like, I can go on autopilot and I never have to bring practice or meticulousness into my daily life to sustain the gains that I've built. So, so true. And I think something just came to me when you were saying that. and I was thinking about, and by the way, I like to tie into the paradox, could closing of that Zeigarnik effect all the way down here and tying it back. Good job. I love it. And now I know what paradox means, so it's going to be my word of the week. Yeah. Well, you know, me very well. You're like, okay, we can have, yeah, right now for the next seven days, how many times George has paradox, we're probably going to tap up in like the three, 400 range and that I'll wear it out.You know, just like I did a few other words, but when I think about a Dom. I think also from a societal perspective, and I would love your thoughts on this because you live in this world from a societal perspective, we live in a world where like depression has made wrong. Feeling has made wrong. Sadness has made wrong, like, you know, man up toxic masculinity. You can't, you can like the, the bullshit that's projected on men and women from a societal standpoint. And so when we think about it, The way in which the world, in my opinion, sees things like depression or sadness or fear or insecurity as is like, it's this thing you have. Which means it's also this thing that you fix. And it goes away. And so I don't, I personally don't find outside of entrepreneurship culture where it's like, no, it's okay to be sad. And it's okay to be scared. Let's go through it together. Most of the world is like, Oh, go get treatment, go get help. And then come back when you're complete or come back when you are "whole". And it's like, the field that we play on is basically destined to keep ourselves stuck in that fucking Mexican crab pot. And then it's like the moment you try to climb out of it, they either want to pull you out of it or they, they want to pull you into it or they want to throw you out of it and outcast you because you're growing or you're doing the work.And so for me now, I know, but during a time, when you say, find your tribe, what I've also found is a lot times, if you're in a tribe and you start growing, you sometimes have to make some hard decisions because that tribe wants you to stay where you are, because that stagnation keeps them comfortable and where they are and then our growth and things like that, you know, we'll pull them out.And so, you know, one of the things that I was thinking about when you talked about, you know, finding your tribe, and in the beginning of this episode, we were talking about like, Hey, like, you know, you word clouded it, right. Anxious anxiety. When you're surrounded by that, we absorb that energy. We're all vibrating here. And so it's really important. To keep our containers, right? Like you are the sum of five people. You surround yourself with their energies, their intention, their things like that. And so there's a part of me too, that I think everybody should be prepared for that and I mean this in the best way possible. Well, that leadership is lonely for all the right reasons because in that leadership, like we, we lead ourselves, right. This is what we talk about. We lead ourselves. But then in that, in those times of like, Hey, I'm emotionally liberated with this three step process. The people that are in your life that support you pretty much find themselves and self identify pretty quickly.And the ones that are like, Oh, I don't want to hear it. No, don't tell me like, Oh, tell me when it's done. Right. They also identify themselves. And so like, there's no finish line for this. There's also just like a very wise shaman told me relationships either happened for a reason, a season or a lifetime.And I think that there's also this, this strength and understanding that like, As you grow and you lead, you're also going to attract and magnetize new people polarity wise, and then you're also going to repel some people there. And there's going to be times there's going to, and I'm just going to say, there's going to be times where you're doing the best work that you've done. You're the happiest you've bet. And you're beating depression and you're going to feel more alone than you've ever felt. And that's in my opinion, upleveling and calling in a new level of team or magnetism or things like that. But it's also something I think should be talked about. Because it was one of those things that kind of surprised me.I started doing work and I lived this life and I had this multi seven figure business. And all these people that I thought were my friends. And then, you know, six to 12 months of some of the hardest work of my life, saving my marriage, saving my life. And I don't speak to any of them anymore. They wanted nothing to do with me. And, and it was like that final nail for me. I'm like, is this really what I want? Like, do I have the intestinal fortitude to go through this? Because I'd say 99% of me just wanted to fall back and call my "friends". Like, just tell me it's going to be okay. Like, okay, I'll go back to talking shit about people at dinner. Like I'll listen to it and not say, but obviously I didn't want to get there, but I think it's important. So can you talk about the power of kind of that tribe, but also the containers and self identification of you that's required? So you kind of know. What your tribe should be when to lean into a tribe and when to lean into yourself, you know, like, and the way I look at it is like, when do you lean into your group? And when do you lean into the mirror? And that's kind of how it goes into buckets. I think one of the reasons why leaders don't Excel as fast as they want to is because they're afraid of saying goodbye. To the people in their lives that, that don't support their growth or don't know how to, to, to nurture some of the relationships to bring them along. There's, there's a bit of both. And so I see people getting stuck because they're afraid of that lonely feeling that you described because I've, I've been there. There's, there's been times in my life where I radically changed who I was and. And I found myself having to rebuild completely my network.It can be, yeah, scary place to be. I've learned over the course of time, how to not have to go through that level of loneliness, how to bring people along. I want to share with you that there are three types of people in your life, and I've written about this. I've done podcasts about this. I wrote about it in my, my next book. That's coming out on purpose leadership. There's three types of people in your life. The first type of person in your life relates to the historical version of you. The past version of you like this, this is the person, these are the people in your life that see you as the version of maybe when you were a kid, you know, maybe who you were five years ago, four years ago, one year ago, depending on how fast maybe they have that nickname for you, that you've outgrown, but they're the ones who call you that, like, these are the ones who are stuck, who don't want you to change because it means leaving them behind, or maybe it's an indictment on their inability to grow. I have compassion for this group of people, even though sometimes like their methods aren't necessarily the most , they're not the best, but these are the people who are threatened by your growth and try and hold you back. The second one group of people are the people who see the here and now version of you. These are the people who can see like, okay, George looks this way today. This is what his business looks like right now. This is his weight. This is his physical appearance. And maybe they can see crummy, mental shades of your growth. But for the most part, they see your marital status. They see your kids are like whatever. They could only see a few inches or feet out in front of where you are today. So they speak to that version of you. And I find that many people who are feeling stuck in their lives, 95% of the people they surround themselves with. Are the people who only see the here and now version of you. And they're kind of keeping you in this place.The third type of person, your life speaks to the highest version of you, right? This is the person who can see beyond even what you're capable of. Right? They're the person who, when you mail in a B plus effort and try and pass it off as an A, like they can call you on your bullshit. Cause they know, right. They're the ones. Who aren't stuck in the weeds, the way that you are, and don't have the excuses or won't allow the excuses that may be you have, because they see greatness in you be above and beyond where you are presently. Now, what I found is that so many people don't have someone truly that sees the greatest, highest diversion of them in their live right now. Some of us have to pay for that, whether it's with coaching, some of us. Get lucky. And that person, you know, we attract that person into our lives without our own like conscious doing or seeking that person just ends up in their lives. But most of us need to actually put that into our conscious awareness. I want to surround myself with it. People who only speak to the high. So that's what you've been doing, George. Right? Like when you pulled me into your life, you made a very concerted effort to bring me into your life. Cause you saw that I could speak to that version of you Stephanos and you're like, like you have consciously built that tribe. To say, no, I need that. I need that structure. I need someone to, and it's going to be painful sometimes. There's shit that I do that like causes you pain and then you go away, you come back and then we deal with that. You was same thing with Stefanos, same thing and vice versa. I was going to say, and by the way, if Dom and I recorded some of our calls, I'm like, I hate you, you mother. And I love you, which is why I'm telling you this. I think one thing before you finish to that third person, when you said. When you hand in a B plus effort and mask it as an A, and they call you on it. For me, those are also the people. When I hand in an, a effort and I graded a C plug me into what I created.That's great. That's actually, that's awesome, man. Thank you for that. Cause I'll be adding that to my, like when I speak about that, that's so true. Cause there are times where like you definitely diminish. I definitely diminish. And then people like, I need those people in my life to be like, dude, do you realize the impact?Oh, I've kicked her back for everybody listening. I've I've wanted to virtually, or I virtually have kicked Dom in the shins. Quite a few times. And I was like, and I even met Dom. I was like, do you see how great you are? And he's like, no, I'm like, no, no, no, bro. Like I see the next fucking 25 years of your life, like laid out in front of me. And I just want to be a part of it. Like I just want to know ounce of DNA in that game, in that world that you live in. So no, man, I, I love that. So yeah. Continue on those three types of people. I would, I would just close it with the highest version of yourself. People get lazy with it, finding that person. They they're like, Oh, well, that's my wife, that's my husband. That's my, you know, like, just look for the closest person. I would encourage you to go out and look for who's done what you want to do in your life. Whether it's like achieve business success with a sense of fulfillment or, you know, they, they seem to have overcome some of these nasty, you know, Behaviors or diseases that have like, you know, have, have crippled or curtailed your behavior.And actually George, when you talked about the conversation of labeling depression or sadness, as these things have a go away, go fix that. Like when I, when I see depression, when I see anxiety. I look at super powers in the making totally right. Like if you can look at them that way, if, if you can call in the support, whether it's yourself support or also, you know, guides, experts, healers in your life that can help you to look at the depths that you've been to, because you're actually fucking going to really dark places, powerful places.And when you bring yourself back from those places, You have lessons, you have stories you're gone. You've gone on Joseph Campbell's hero's journey is a belly of the beast. It's called wisdom wisdom coming back and reconstituting it. Now in the, in the corporate world. One of the things that I have seen as a theme over 15 years is blocking emotions, blocking feelings.Do

Matt and Gabe discuss the relative merits of The Irishman and Knives Out. Topics include if Robert De Niro and Al Pachino are able to act like 20 year olds, how good the de-aging of the faces are (or are not), Scorsese and his obsession with long movies, Daniel Craig - Foghorn Legham, Rian Johnson - subverter of everything - kinda, cartoon characters in mystery movies, lots of Gangs of New York stuff, and Baseball ratings for movies.
Today’s guest is one of my former students and friend from … “the old days” in my former life and putting this episode together was basically figuring out which rabbit hole I wanted to present to you. We talked for about an hour and I swear a half hour of it was about Guy Fieri from The Food Network and most of it was gossip. And it was started by me. Gossip is not okay 99% of the time and I felt a little dirty about it so I bring it up to tell you that is not on this episode. How’s that for a show with the word Moron in it? We get a little background on our guest’s work in the limousine business and he is very excited to share the catch phrase he’s come up with for the show. We talk news for about a minute and a half and it’s just a bit about the impeachment circus… This somehow leads to a conversation about horror movies as well as the Netflix Scorsese film “The Irishman” with Deniro, Peshi and Al Pachino. Also a rant about the four legal experts that testified last week (or weeks ago by the time you get to this) on the impeachment hearings against Donald Trump.

James Bates is bursting with creativity. A professor, sports broadcaster, and artist, Bates, a former college football player, “feels blessed” with three “dream jobs.” As a child and through college, all he wanted to be was an NFL star, a desire nurtured by his football coach father. Though some scratch their heads at his change from the pigskin to the paintbrush, Bates says he wants to make other people happy through his art. He advises students to “take their work seriously, but not themselves.” TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:01 Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade the podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida. The museum is named after James Robert Cade , who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles. We’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them, we’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work, and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. James Di Virgilio: 0:37 What do you think of when you think of an artist, a football player? Probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. My guest today is James Bates, a national champion in college football whose creativity has flourished during and since his playing days, I’m James Di Virgilio, James Bass thanks for joining us. James Bates: 0:54 I like that. Thanks, James. Good to be here. James Di Virgilio: 0:58 I want to talk about not your football career. We’re going to tie football in, but about what now you’re more known for now anyway, you are a play by play broadcaster. You are also a teacher at the University of Florida teaching commentating, and you’re an artist and your art has a really unique style to it, especially your folk art. I want to know from the beginning, were you always drawn towards creative things? Did it take you awhile to figure this out? You were telling me before the show that your dad’s a football coach and he’s very much what you’d expect from a football coach. So creativity probably wasn’t something that came right to the top of your mind in that family, right? James Bates: 1:31 Yeah. I mean, my dad coached a long, long time for just retired a few years ago, but my whole life, he was Coach, long time in the NFL and I loved sports and I love competing, but as much as anything I was always creating and I didn’t really take art classes other than the few that you take in elementary school and junior high, but I always loved them. And I guess I never really got that nudge because it was a football family. And so they knew that I liked to do that, but that’s just what James does is he, he’s over there drawing again. And you know, and I didn’t take any art classes at Florida, but I probably should have, because I sat in class drawing, I guess I got it from my mom. She was always kind of doing a craft or fixing something herself or prettying something up herself. I definitely didn’t get it from my dad, but it’s in me. And it really kind of came out and I realized a guy that I roomed with at Florida, Eric Kresser is his name, he was Danny Wuerffel’s backup. We were in the same freshman class. He was an art major. And my freshman year I wasn’t red shirted right away. He was. And so I’d go out of town and I’d come back and he’d have our dorm room and Yon hall, which is in the stadium just as dirty as can be, but he’d have it rearranged and decorated basically. And I realized, well, I can do stuff like this. It’s not just my mom. That would change my room around. You know, it’s like in a weird way that was an adult moment for me as a creative person that I can, like, I can do some of these things on my own. And so fast forward, right after we from Florida, I had taken a picture of a place where my wife and I got engaged up in Tennessee on the river, a little pigeon river up Gatlinburg area. And which is where I went to high school. I went to same high school as Dolly Parton in Severe County. And so I asked him if he would paint this painting for my wife for Christmas. And he said, yeah, yeah. And Christmas was getting closer and closer and Kresser man, he’s like, Oh man, I’m really busy, you know what? I’ll teach you how to build a canvas. You like to draw, you can do this. You can come over to my house and you can use my paints and I’ll teach you how to build this canvas . And so I did it and I knew while I was painting that, that this wasn’t going to be the last and about the same time, I was lucky enough to have a little part in the water boy with Adam Sandler. And right after that, the football gang that did that movie went and did a movie called “Any Given Sunday” down in South Florida with Al Pachino. And I was down there working on that. And I walked through a few art galleries, Lincoln square in Miami, and I was just blown away. And I just had to have big pieces like this in my house, but I could never afford big pieces like that in my house. So I had to find a way to do it myself. And so that’s kind of the next step of I’m just going to paint and I got to have pieces like this, and I realized in a hurry that for what I was after unfortunately oils and the Florida humidity, I don’t have the patience . And most of my early pieces were oil. And actually one of those early pieces, Billy Donovan and his wife, Christine bought one of my bigger pieces, but I switched over quickly to acrylics with my landscapes. A lot of the , the depth and the textures. I realized that I could kinda arrive at the same conclusion when it’s all said and done, but every now and then when I’m getting ready to go and spend a fall where I got to slam on the brakes in my studio a little bit, I’ll throw some oils on some canvas here and there it’s a little dry while I’m off working for a couple months, and then I can come back and kind of dig back down to it. Yeah. You know, you mentioned my class and we had our first day of school for this semester. It’s my sixth semester last Tuesday. And I feel like I’ve got three dream jobs. I’m a professor and I’m a broadcaster and I’m an artist. I just feel so blessed. I mean, that’s just the coolest thing in the world. I would have taken any one of those three and felt like I had just an incredible life, but to be able to do all three of them is it’s really special. And I really think that a , of the three that being a professor and being around these young men and women and just these minds, they’re so much fun and I do it for free. And you can cut that part out if , if they’re going to hear it over there , at journalism college. But yeah. Thanks for asking. James Di Virgilio: 5:25 Hearing your story. I’m hearing a lot of , of being very true to yourself. Was there any opposition when you were telling your parents or telling your wife or telling your friends , say , I want to pursue art? Was there any James, what are you doing? Football players don’t pursue art or did Eric catch flak painting and doing things in college? Was this an outside the norm thing for you? Or were you always pretty much saying I want to pursue this thing and you were supported in doing so. James Bates: 5:48 Yes, yes, yes. And yes. Still you’ll have people that can’t believe that this linebacker is an artist . Huh, what? And you know, my dad, he still just doesn’t understand it and he wants to and he tries to, but here’s an example yesterday on the phone and again, this is the kind of the house that I grew up in you got to love it, like , but I was like, what are you doing, James? I’m just running all these pieces up, we’re doing this popup show, my buddy Byron at Corteroids have an art show tonight. And he was like, well, your football is getting ready to start are you doing some reading on them ? And I’m like, yeah , yeah, I’m doing okay. But he can’t help himself, bless his heart. He doesn’t know, well, how are the acrylics drying or, you know, or like what medium using now. And so, yeah, I get that. And I get that as you can imagine from football fans, but it’s also appealing to people that have a little bit of a love for art. And I think that the people that do come around and kind of enjoy some of the stories that I tell with the text in my art and in the folk art pieces, I get a sense almost that they appreciate it even more. And I can tell when they appreciate it, just because go Gators. And when they just are truly heartfelt, kind of like blown away and in my piece moves them. And there’s no better feeling in the world than people who will call and, and ask for a commission, send me a message. Hey, my wife for Christmas or our anniversary or something for our home. Just the fact that I can from scratch create something that they feel will make their house better and happier and give it that kind of energy. I’m goose pimply, right? Like right now, like I just, that’s awesome. That’s just so special. And I’ll do that. Even if it’s making a little something for my neighbor, when I’m 90, that I know that they’ll like , I will always want to create and want to make people happy. In that sense. James Di Virgilio: 7:34 We talk a lot on this podcast on Radio Cade about solving a problem. And so a lot of times we’ll ask an entrepreneur, what’s the problem you’re trying to solve. And how are you solving that? I think what you just said is very interesting with art. The problem , so to speak is more of somebody wants something beautiful to look at or something to talk about or a memory to keep with them. And as an artist, you are creating an original piece. Something that cannot be reproduced is not mass manufactured when you’re creating your pieces, especially when you started out, were you making art for yourself? And you were saying, I’m not making this because people may like this, I’m making this for me. And then it’s so happened that people liked it? Or were you making something that you were hoping people would like? James Bates: 8:14 It’s a really good question. And it’s something that I meet resistance from my wife, because we gotta be realistic. And, you know, I can’t just sit up there and just my house is, it’s like my gallery and it makes me happy. And I still, I sold a couple pieces last night and it hurts and I that’s what you have to do. And I always, the one thing that I guess in my mind kind of makes it like a little , okay, well , send me a picture of its new home, but I like to paint big and it gets tough when it’s time to ship or when it’s time to lug them around to all these art shows and whatever. And Tina, my wife is always like, are you sure you want to do it that big? Are you sure you want to do that? That guy not too long ago, commissioned me to do a painting of his daughter. And Tina’s like, she’s not gonna like her legs. And I’m like, well, I just got to kind of be me. And fortunately I have a lot of people that want commissions, but sometimes I have to be me so much to where I have to just say, no, I can’t this month because I’ve sold most of my landscapes and I just can’t not have any landscapes around here. So the month of March, I’m doing landscapes and it feels really good. And this whole cycle of, Oh, now I’m itching to do a piece on Spurrier because I thought of a quote that he used to say to us and stuff like that. And so I fight with that a lot because I like to paint whether it’s a landscape or whether it’s a painting of Danny Wuerffel or Brett Farve or Tim Tebow or anybody, I like to kind of get a quick feel on just certain features. And then I try not to go back to it because I feel like there are a lot of people out there that can paint realistic, close to realistic, very beautiful pieces that are almost like a picture, but I want it to be as much from me and the way my mind sees it and wants it to look on this canvas as they really do look. And a lot of the artists that I’ve followed around that same time back to when I did that first painting for my wife and these galleries down in Miami. I also realized that I really liked text in art. I really like to see a lot of words. Besky Yacht is my all time favorite in a he’s the perfect blend of all of the above, because he’s got the text, he’s pop culture. He’s big with the hip hop scene at that time when it was just coming up. And I didn’t even realize, like I’m such a big hip hop fan from way back in the day. I didn’t even realize until recently how much they rolled together. It goes without saying, I mean , the B-boy culture, the hip hop, the, the street art, the graffiti, it was there, but just to kind of link the two, it makes me feel like my two missions that nobody else really cares about is loving graffiti and loving rap. They have come together. So like, at least for me, it makes me feel a little bit better, you know, but it’s not something that I can sit there and tell my wife that she really will listen to that long. You know, it’s just one of those things . And so Howard Finster is another artist, but he’s more of a folk artist has passed away from Summerville , Georgia, just South of Chattanooga. The quick story, he was a Baptist minister and didn’t do any art ever his whole life. He was he’d fix bikes and whatnot, odd jobs around town, just get some carrying around money being able to live. And he says that in a drop of paint on the sidewalk, an angel appeared to him and said that God wanted him to spread his word through folk art because nobody was listening to his sermons. And so he took a dollar bill out and painted a painting of George Washington right there. And from that day on, that’s what he did. And he’s really probably one of the more well known folk artists that there ever was and ever will be. But he did things for Coca Cola and the Olympics and, Oh, well , we was on the talking heads cover and galleries all over the world, but he would always include scripture. And it’s really interesting. He would paint what he saw as angels on earth. People like Hank Williams, Henry Ford, Martin Luther King, Mickey Mouse. And he would paint them with angels floating all around them. And it , as much as anything it was because they brought joy to the earth doing God’s work like that. And so there’s this sort of pop culture tie in with him too. But he saw people that made people smile, made people happy, made people dance. He saw them as angels on earth. And I just think that’s amazing. And his style of not really caring altogether that he was spot on. It’s truly like an outsider artist, a folk artist style, and kind of learning about him, finding out about him early on, kind of made me not so scared of not measuring the width of the nose or something like that. So it all kind of just lined up just right in the fact that I can create once my football season’s over with the broadcasting is just , uh , it’s the coolest thing ever. And the producers that I work with during the football season, when I’m out calling these games, we’ll do a little segments called B8sy Paints. And if we’re in the coaches meetings on Friday, if we get some story from a coach and like, Oh my gosh, that’s a great story. Well, let me animate it. And so I’ll animate it and we’ll do like a little segment during the show. And so that’s always fun. So I get to tie them altogether. James Di Virgilio: 13:01 That’s so interesting and also fascinating at the same time to watch all your spheres of life bubble up into one. But what comes to mind for me is, and almost everyone’s story, there’s a story of, of hardship or difficulty. And thus far as an, as an outsider, your story almost seems like you try something and it works. You try something and it works. You try something and it works. Have there been moments in your life when you’ve had an idea and inspiration, a vision and you, and you started to do it or went with it and all you were getting was difficulty? James Bates: 13:27 Well, maybe a little bit with my style in broadcasting, I think early on, which was my world for the longest time. I mean, that’s how I was going to pay the bills for the rest of my life. And that’s what I majored in back then when I was coming up, it was the grizzled voice, the buttoned up suit, you know, and these great, great broadcasters. That’s all you really got. And there wasn’t a million channels out there where you had all these different people and these different personalities. So there was some resistance when I would come rolling in and I just really enjoy making people smile, whether it’s with my art or , or making people laugh, you know, it’s basically the same thing. So sometimes I , I can’t help myself. Like I, you know, I probably shouldn’t here, I probably shouldn’t here b lah b lah. And I just like spit it out. And, a nd so not everybody loved that. And that’s one thing I think that in my life that I’ve been most proud of too, is that I j ust k ind o f stuck with who I was. And eventually people saw that his style he’s great hosting these studio shows. He’s quick and basically the way I tell my students is you’re w riting. You’re always writing. You should take more writing classes because we’re always writing a nd on the fly and being quick and Hey, such and such, take us to break, you know, just in the middle of class and y ou g otta be on your toes, but add some flavor to it. And the flavor that I added, wasn’t always what my dad and his coaching buddies would have always thought that i t was the proper way to take it to break or whatever. So I’m kind of proud to have met that resistance, but kind of stuck it out and found a place for me. It’s it’s like we were talking about before we went on, there are a lot of names out there that are a lot more attractive in the football world than J ames Bates. You know, I’m very proud of my football career. I was an all SEC linebacker and w on a bunch of rings at Florida. And my senior year, we won a national championship, but no real NFL career to speak of. And all of these guys that retire every year from the NFL long careers and they know their ball, but you’ve got to entertain as well. I mean, that’s people want to be entertained. S o you straddle that fence of X’s and O’s and, a nd entertaining. And I tell my students, my c lasses i s at the University of Florida in the journalism college. And it’s a play by play on air talent class. And it’s not just T V people, which is really neat. It’s people t hat take it just for public speaking. But for those TV people, if I turn on the TV and I see you just going through the motions, just checking off boxes, not treating your sideline reporter or your analyst with respect a nd, and there’s a true, sincere friendship there then why would I bother sticking around i f y ou, if you’re not into it, if you’re not excited, why should I be excited? Because there are a lot of other football games that are going on right now. There a re a lot of other basketball games out there, and there are a lot of people that want your job. So when I t urned on the TV, I just want to see you just oozing with appreciation because you’re living out a dream. And so I just try to think like that every time, y ou k now, I get a little bit sad in the fall, O h, I g ot t o go away for the weekend. The only time the kids don’t have school and they’re going to do such fun things and woe is me. But you know, I just, I make my time count during the week and then go and put everything I can into it. You know, the games that I call, a ren’t the sexiest games in the ACC that weekend. But you know what? These kids are living out a dream and I’m going to showcase them and I’m going to learn their stories and spend the time whether they make the air or not. And that’s really special because I was right there not too long ago. That’s all I wanted to, do was to play football, was t o g o make tackles. And my dad wanted me to be a quarterback, but Brian Bosworth was up at O U when I was in junior high, i n Texas doing his thing and t here was no way I was going to do anything, but be a linebacker and go hit people. And we’re 44. I hate to admit how important it was for me to wear 44. Like I almost, well, they recruited me, they sent me a media g uy. Oh, 44 is not going to be available because of freshmen. W hereas I don’t know if I can go there. That’s embarrassing. James Di Virgilio: 17:17 I think inspiration is such an important thing. Every, every podcast I’ve done, no matter what the person is working on or doing the inspirations in their lives were key . And , and you’ve mentioned many of them , uh, which has been great. Now I want to turn our attention towards you inspiring some others. And I’ve heard some themes that you’ve mentioned. You’ve talked about being true to yourself, but you’ve also talked about some structure within that. I think in our society, it’s easy to take, be true to yourself, to an extreme, to where, of being true to yourself as rubbing everyone else wrong. You just keep on going. But I’ve heard, you mentioned like gratitude and appreciation and energy and thankfulness, and being in the studio here with you today, I can feel your energy. It’s genuine. And there’s a genuine authenticity to you coupled with your own originality. So when you’re teaching your classes and you’re talking to young artists, or what’s the balance between be yourself and some of these other things that you’re going to have to also have in order to make, cause you can’t just right . You can’t just take that to an extreme. James Bates: 18:14 Well, it kind of starts with take your job seriously, but don’t take yourself seriously. If you take yourself too seriously and you can’t really come into our class and have an ego, like you have to be able to laugh at yourself, our middle child, Talia, she’s a swimmer. We just dropped her off at school last week. She was a late, late bloomer, but she’s very coachable and she’s going to do every single thing and just crushes her if she lets her coaches down or her parents down. And she stresses a little bit too much. I mean, she’s a perfectionist and it’s gotten her a scholarship to swim at the University of Florida. And I’m so proud of her, but it can have some negative effects too. I mean, she stresses too much and it eats at her and it’s not healthy, but in our house, like you gotta be able to laugh at yourself. I mean, we crush her. You can’t take yourself too seriously if you’re so worried about your own little bubble and worrying about yourself so much, how are you going to give energy to others? I can’t even like begin with someone that has bad intentions and bad energy. And for them to take that to an extreme, like , I can’t even go there. Just be yourself, lead with your heart really and lead with a good heart. I mean, we’re all so fortunate. I remind these kids, you guys go to the University of Florida, that alone, right there means something. And this basically, it’s like your first job. And it’s like, we talk about being on TV. Like, and if you don’t show appreciation, don’t come in here, feeling sorry for yourself, get off your phone, bring your energy to class. I’m not going to keep you all the way to the final bell. I’m not going to give you a lot of homework, but when you’re here, be here and take care of your classmates and let’s all get better. Let’s not worry about one thing. Let’s try things. Even if we feel like complete idiots, let’s just try it. We have so much fun, but we get in trouble by the neighboring teachers, you know, Hey, can you guys keep it down we’re taking a quiz over here. But I guess it’s just that it’s just kind of the heart it’s like I talked about with the commission paintings or somebody buys one of my paintings, it’s it really is from my heart. And for them to respect that and to want a piece of my heart back to Howard Fencer, that’s like doing God’s work. I feel like that’s making people happy and making their homes happy and their, and their families happy. And so I think that as long as you have good heart, you can go to any extreme you want to go. And people may say this is done with a good heart, but a good heart is a good heart. It’s just plain and simple. It’s , it’s , it’s black and white. It’s just, this is good. This is bad type of thing. And so I’m very proud that I’m able to kind of give people a piece like that. James Di Virgilio: 20:40 Yeah. You can feel when someone cares for you versus when someone is just trying to give off like charismatic energy. And I think, you know, you emanate that and I’m sure as you’re challenging, sometimes the status quo or you’re , you’re exploring your creativity um , it’s always with that lens. Which does give you a little more freedom to try things. And I think that’s a great lesson for everyone out there is to pursue your passions. Yes. But also why are you pursuing your passions? And , and for you, you talk a lot about bringing others joy. It’s very other focused and not in a weird way allows you to express yourself even better. And that’s not necessarily the most popular message today, which is more about, do you do yourself, focus on yourself. I think you’re focused on others, bringing you joy and then allowing you to flourish with how you were created is a really interesting and creative narrative throughout your life. And today it’s been great to hear, you know, last week I was in Milan, I saw the last supper in person painted by DaVinci. And , and what you realize is something you’ve been saying the whole time, DaVinci was always very true to himself, right? He was commissioned by the authorities that be, but he always put himself into his work. And I think as an artist, sometimes that gave you international fame while you were living. And sometimes it didn’t, but I think your message reigns true. There’s a level where each one of us, whether we’re an entrepreneur in the tech world, or we’re an artist, or we’re a play by play commentator, we’re at the end, you want to say that you and your unique DNA structure put your brand on something and you did it in a way that was, that was good and right, and just, and I think your story emanates that obviously you’ve had tons of success in the football field, tons of success and these other things. But I think if I’m going to get this right, what matters most to you sounds like the , the joy you’ve brought to others. That’s what I keep hearing is kind of this excitement you bring to other people, this chance for you to take your talents and skills and maybe better the world around you. James Bates: 22:22 Well thank you and, and you know what, it’s the same thing with the millions that DaVinci would reach as it is with somebody who has a painting that their mom did have a Lake on their wall. Hey, my mom did this and she loved to paint. She worked really hard. She loved to paint and I love that painting. That’s all it is. You know, anybody that has that in them that wants to create, I hope that everybody gets a chance and in whatever walk of life, I mean, we sit in meetings at the board for the Cade museum. I mean, like most of that stuff, I’m like, why do they have me here? Why do they come here? What am I doing? Okay, I’m 46. Now I could go home and study it, but I’m no, I’m not. I’m out of school a long time ago, but it’s such an incredible place. And it’s such an amazing feeling for everybody to want us to be up there, to be a part of it that they feel like we can make it better. It’s for creative ideas and it’s, and it’s so neat to see team because not everybody’s wired like that. And like, Oh, okay, this is my chance. This is where they want me. But sometimes when we get into some of the real nitty gritty of the stats and the numbers like, Oh no, I just want to curl up in the fetal position, roll around on the floor. I’ve always been like that though. Even with my football, you know, my , my dad and brother, they’re always been students of the game. X’s and O’s, and , but I’ve just kind of enjoyed the human interest side of, of all of it, but yeah, really enjoying it all. James Di Virgilio: 23:41 Well, James, thanks so much for being with us.
