You say yes to everything and everyone except for the things that are most important to you. I know deep down inside. You do know deep down inside. I know I should not be saying yes, but I'm saying yes, right? And what ends up happening most of the time? The people who are closest to you get hurt the most.Lesley Logan 0:19  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:02  You guys, I'm excited for this conversation. It's really fun. We got to talk a lot of things. We got to talk about rock bottoms, divorce, finding a partner, authenticity, true authenticity, people pleasing. My people pleasers, you know, hear this podcast. It's so good. So Polish Peter is our guest today. He is an author of a book you're gonna want to read, especially if you are, ah, I know I need to be authentic, but authenticity been ruined. We just have a really great conversation around that, and I think this is really going to help those who are feeling a little stuck. Those need a reminder to keep going. Those of you who've just kind of lost the way or have been, why is this happening to me? All great stuff in this episode. So here is Polish Peter. All right, be babe. I'm really excited. This is gonna be a fun conversation. I already know because I've already talked to this person before, and we're just gonna get into it. Polish Peter, who are you? What do you rock at? Well, are you Polish Peter? Is that your formal name? Should we give a last name, or we just go by Polish Peter? Polish Peter Kolat 1:55  No, there is a last name. It's called Kolat, Peter Kolat. But what ended up happening over the years in my industry, I've been now coaching people and things like that, I've been referred to as Polish Tony, like in regards to Tony Robbins, and then the kind of Polish Peter kind of stuck with me. So that's how it just happened like that.Lesley Logan 2:11  I love it. You know, that's how nicknames come about. I used to always go by my last name, and then people just called me LL, and I was going do I want to be LL, and actually, I do. It's like a whole alter ego. I step into a different power. It's super fun. So you're an inspiration. How did we get here? How did that happen? Did you always be someone who was inspiring, like a Tony Robbins, or was there a journey that got you there?Polish Peter Kolat 2:34  No, I drank some Kool-Aid. No, I think it was. I mean, I think my whole life. I think there was something that I thought I was something bigger than I was meant for something bigger. I don't know. There was some kind of innate kind of a feeling that I wasn't meant to work for someone else. It was always something that I needed to know, do my own path, kind of a thing. So I think there was always something like that. And the more I started, especially after 2011, I went more into this, because people kept telling me, "Listen, I think you should be a coach. I think you should be the person who's speaking to people because of who you are, your story. I think would benefit a lot of people." And when you start looking from that perspective, you start to, okay, let's do it. Let's try it on. See how it happens.Lesley Logan 3:20  Yeah, I think we're all meant to step into something bigger than ourselves, and some of us follow that calling, and some of us get stuck. So, do you feel like you did something uniquely different that you didn't get stuck like other people? Was it scary to try to do something bigger than you? What was the journey there?Polish Peter Kolat 3:38  Yeah, I mean that's a really good question. I think that is true. People do get sometimes stuck, and I think for me it was. Think about it this way: every single person in the world has some kind of a story, right? And I don't think these stories are meant to just die. I think the stories are meant to you help other people on their journey because my circumstances might be completely different, but maybe sharing my story with you maybe will help you give you some kind of different impact that you are going to make different choices in life or inspire you or whatever might be. So I think we're all called to do that. Now I think it kept me going is couple of beliefs that I have. One, I have a belief that life happens for me, not to me. So if life happens for me, not to me, then there must be something behind that. You know what I mean, that drives me. The other thing I have this belief that, and sometimes that helped me, sometimes it didn't really help me, is that I don't quit. I don't quit very easily. And what ended up happening, I when I sometimes talk to my students, and this is not the best of analogies, but at some point I came up with, and I just keep using it. Imagine if you're standing in front of a drywall and you're banging against the wall, something is going to give. Either you're going to stop banging your head against the wall, or the drywall is going to break through.Lesley Logan 4:52  Yeah. Polish Peter Kolat 4:53  And when you start looking, not giving up, maybe sometimes you need to pivot a little bit. But if you don't give up in life, I think you will be able to accomplish a lot more and drive you more towards what you've meant to be here on this earth for. You know what I mean? That you go into your calling, sort of speak.Lesley Logan 5:10  Yeah, like you just got to keep going. And I do think some people get to a wall and they go, "Oh, this is a sign that I'm not meant to do this." That's what I hear people. "Oh, well, there was that door closed and that door closed. This must not be meant for me, or it's leading you down a hallway. That door, you know what I mean." But so, how do you know if you're supposed to keep going or if you have hit the wall and you're going to break? What's the signs that you look for to keep going?Polish Peter Kolat 5:39  That's a really good question. That's one of those things that we all trying to figure it out, right? Lesley Logan 5:44  I was hoping you had the answer. Polish Peter Kolat 5:45  Well, I had the answer, right? I mean, let's bring somebody else in the podcast. Maybe somebody else will know. No, but I think what I've discovered up to this point is this: people, when they stop, why am I stopping? Am I stopping because there is a fear that's driving that decision, right, and worry or whatever might be. If it's some kind of a negative emotion, negative decision, negative something, I think I think that's us just stopping, not because we're not meant to go through that door, and also there might be people around you or things that are happening around you that gives you this pattern that says you're going down the wrong direction. Right? And what ends up happening is the pattern around you says keep going, and you feel like, oh, I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if I am ready for this. And all of a sudden you get a call that you want to be speak in front of 10,000 people, and you've spoke in front of 500 at most ever, and this is collectively speaking, you're like, ah, how am I going to do this?Lesley Logan 6:51  Yeah. Polish Peter Kolat 6:52  But, you know, maybe this is an opportunity that you've been kind of working towards. So it requires some faith, requires courage, right? So if I think it requires the courage, requires this little bit of a faith. I think that tells you that you're going down the right direction.Lesley Logan 7:08  Yeah, yeah. I've had some people go, "I want to speak on these big stages," and but they won't say yes to a stage of 10 people. And it's, well, if you've never spoken in front of 10, it's hard to speak in front of 100. Recently I actually taught a class for over 300 people, and there was some people like, "Oh my god, I want to do that." And you get, yeah, guess what? I had to teach to five people first, and then at some point that got to be 20 people, and then at some point the number was 50, and then this earlier this year, the biggest number of people in one class was 85, and if I hadn't taught the 85, I couldn't have taught 300. I wouldn't know what to do with 300 people. You have to build the muscle up, and I agree. Like there's that. Okay, we have to take a journey back though, because you have a story. So, before you became an optimism, helping coach, inspiring people to find their way. What got you here?Polish Peter Kolat 7:55  Well, so I was born in Poland during the communist. Poland was communism at that particular point. Then in '89 got abolished. I came here to United States when I was 14 at '91. Not because I wanted to, it's because my mom was already here, and this was a land of opportunity. Money grows on trees here. By the way, I kid you not, Lesley. I actually, as a kid growing up, I had to believe that there was money trees in here. Imagine my disappointment when I came here. Oh, here's the other thing. One, there is no money trees. There was a different conversation about that. But when I was flying over here to United States at 14 years old on a plane, they played two movies. The first movie was by Eddie Murphy.Lesley Logan 8:37  Coming to America? Polish Peter Kolat 8:38  Guess what? Coming to America. Probably complete coincidence, right? Had to be complete coincidence.Lesley Logan 8:45  Yeah. Polish Peter Kolat 8:45  And the second one was Eddie Murphy movie as well, and that was Beverly Hills Cop when he was in L.A. Okay?Lesley Logan 8:53  Oh my God. Polish Peter Kolat 8:54  So I am resisting coming here, but I'm looking at this movie and I'm, you know what? This might not be so bad. You got palm trees, which, I love palm trees. You got beautiful skies, skyscrapers, sports cars. Right? Lesley Logan 9:08  Where did you end up? Did you end up in Ohio? Did you get to L.A.?Polish Peter Kolat 9:12  Well, I ended up in Detroit.Lesley Logan 9:15  I don't think there's a palm tree in Detroit. Polish Peter Kolat 9:17  No, there isn't. So imagine my disappointment, right?Lesley Logan 9:20  Yeah. Also, in Detroit when they were going down, because I feel like that's about when yeah.Polish Peter Kolat 9:25  '91. There was the you know Kilpatrick thing later on and all that kind of stuff, right? So there was the whole discussion, and then you know I went to high school, was learning English because I don't know any English, you know. In fact, I remember thinking to myself, wait a minute, am I Polish or am I polish, right? Because the word looks exactly the same, right? I mean, talk about confusing. I mean, you know, language.Lesley Logan 9:46  Yes.Polish Peter Kolat 9:47  So got the you know graduate of high school, went to college, got a degree in architecture, which was inspired by my uncle because he built his entire house. Did you know that? And I'm sharing my story. I'm revealing a lot of the belief system right that was driving this thing, my uncle, and so I'm going to architecture. Graduated high school architecture when actually became an architect here in Michigan. I was developing a lot of buildings while I was doing this. Ended up finding my wife, got three kids. After that, we started you know one kid, second kid, third kid, you know. And I in about 2007, I don't know if you remember what happened in 2008, but I saw the writing on the wall here, especially in Michigan, because we got the big three, and I started my own company on the side, and it was a marketing company to be able to help real estate investors and people in real estate, you know, market themselves. So I kind of started seeing the writing on the wall. I went to in about maybe 2009 full time into that, and I started growing this business. Then in 2010, my wife came to me and she said she wants a divorce because guess what? Peter got lost in the entire business. By the way, one of the beliefs that draw of that was the people pleaser. So gotta make sure everybody's happy, right? So there was that conversation, and so after that, for about two years, I went into what I called my optimistic depression. And when I say that, some people get confused. What does that mean? But if you are an optimistic kind of a person, I think you can understand what optimistic depression is, right?Lesley Logan 11:17  Yeah, you're like you're constantly thinking there's going to be hope on the other side, but you're depressed on the inside too.Polish Peter Kolat 11:22  Well, yes, that and on the inside, I remember asking myself that question: What the hell is wrong with me? Right? Because how is it that my whole world basically like crashed for me? Yeah, kind of thing. You know what I mean? What the hell's wrong with me? And when people come to me, you okay? Everything good? Talk to me. Right? Guess what my answer was. I'm good. I'm good. I'm great. Yeah, yeah, great. Right, and people could see it. So that's the optimistic depression. So during that particular time, I actually went through what I call my awakening, and I've learned a lot about myself. And because of that, that's when I went into a mastermind. That a friend of mine, he's my best friend Jason brought me into this company, (inaudible). Was in the mastermind group, and as I started learning all about myself, that's when people started saying, "Listen, you should be a coach because you have this way of speaking to people and asking the questions. Sort of like they call me Frank because I'll be can be frank with you. I'll be the person who would ask and people what sometimes they need to hear, and that's not what they want to hear. You know what I mean? So that's why it prompted that, and and that's when the kind of a journey started. And here I am today.Lesley Logan 12:31  Oh my goodness! Oh, what a journey! That was a difficult time for a lot of people. That 2007, 2008, but also like a lot of great things were born from there. And so it's interesting. Thank you for sharing that. And I just want to go back to the people pleaser part, and then we'll go back to optimistic depression. So we don't want to miss that one. But you mentioned it, and I want to highlight people who are people pleasers. Think, oh, I'm trying to make everybody happy, but in doing that, you make zero people happy, including yourself. And so, can we talk about what should we? What are the signs you're a people pleaser, and how do you stop? Did you stop? Are you still one?Polish Peter Kolat 13:01  Yeah. Well, hi. My name is Polish Peter. I'm a recovering people pleaser, right? So, I love your laugh, by the way. I think it's awesome.Lesley Logan 13:11  Thanks. Polish Peter Kolat 13:12  So here's the thing: sign. You say yes to everything and everyone except for the things that are most important to you. And you know, deep down inside, you do know deep down inside. I know I should not be saying yes, but I'm saying yes, right? And what ends up happening most of the time? The people who are closest to you get hurt the most, you know, especially you. How do I, you know, deal with that? Well, when I first started this entire process, one of the things I did. I wrote a vision for my life. What I want my life to look like.Lesley Logan 13:43  Okay.Polish Peter Kolat 13:44  Right. Because nobody ever tells you to write a vision for your life. They tell you to have a business vision and business plan.Lesley Logan 13:49  Yeah.Polish Peter Kolat 13:49  But nobody tells you to have a vision for your life. So I wrote it out. What does that vision look like? On one piece of paper, in present tense. And then I created a calendar that I started putting pieces from that vision to my calendar, so I started putting things in my calendar to make sure that these spots are not taken up. So, for instance, morning routine that I have in the morning, that's in the calendar. Then I put down 3:30 in the afternoon. I had the gym that I wanted to go hit the gym. Then at 6 o'clock, eat dinner. I actually put that in my calendar. People pleaser, we don't do that. I actually put in my calendar. Then between 10 a.m. and 2:30, 3 o'clock, those are my work hours because what ended up happening after my divorce, I want to make sure that I want to pick up and drop on my kids at school. So you know the drop-offs and pick-ups started like you know 9 a.m. and then I started going and seeing, you know, picking up the kids from school about 2:30, so that was a hard kind of a bounce, right? Hard deadline. And the way I was able to say no to people from that point on is because I knew myself that was going to have a hard time saying no. I would say when someone would ask me, "Hey, can you do this for me?" And I would say, "Well, let me get back to you." I think that's okay for people to say it.Lesley Logan 15:05  Yeah. Polish Peter Kolat 15:05  And then I would go, and I would say, hmm, look at my vision. I go, does this align with my vision? Is this going to help me with my vision, or is going to take me further away from my vision? And majority of the time, it would be a no, would be take me away from it. But I would go back and I would say, listen, I would love to do this for you and with you or whatever because I do. That's the people pleaser.Lesley Logan 15:28  Yeah.Polish Peter Kolat 15:28  However, my vision doesn't allow me to do that.Lesley Logan 15:31  Yeah.Polish Peter Kolat 15:32  But guess what I did? I blamed it on my vision. I'm no longer the bad guy. The vision is. You know me. And then we had the discussion. But that's how I was able to go and eliminate the whole people pleaser thing.Lesley Logan 15:42  I, okay. First of all, everyone who needs to literally write down in your notes, let me get back to you. Thanks for this. Let me get back to you so you can copy and paste it. So it's just you don't even have to think about it because you're gonna think about it and you're gonna overthink it and you're gonna rewrite it 17 times and you're gonna say yes to the thing because that was faster. So love that. And then I do love the blaming. It's not alignment with what's going on right now. I have, you know, every day someone's pestering me for something, and I have just been, oh, this, that's not gonna, I can't add one more thing to the calendar right now. But I love that you thought about me. Thank you so much. And it kills me because it's like, oh my god, I should, I should be doing more of that. I should be doing all the shoulds, right? But I, Polish Peter, you and I are very similar. I definitely think that you have to know who you want to be, where you want to go, and it has to be in your calendar. Absolutely, must be in your calendar because if it's not in your calendar. It does not get done. But of course, you have to put dinner on in your calendar because if it's if you're someone who's I fuel myself, I take care of myself. It's got to be in the calendar, otherwise you won't. Because hello, I'm ADHD, and I just realize why am I so hungry? Oh, I forgot breakfast. I didn't. I didn't look at my calendar this morning. I really appreciate that. You know, there's a course like the master class and the what's her name? Who, The Devil Wears Prada is based on? She has a course and she says she always thanks people for the work that they did, and then she will just say we're moving into a different direction right now. Thank you so much for that. We're moving, so you don't have to explain anything anyway. You tell the people the new direction. You don't have to overexplain yourself. It's just not in alignment with what is happening in this moment. So thanks so much. Okay, so now let's go back to the optimistic depression because how did you get out of just the habit of saying you're good, everything's great, I'm great. How did you get to be someone who who isn't fake because to me that's faking it right. That's not a Be It Till You See It thing. That's a faking. I'm faking being happy because I'm supposed to be happy. So how did you step out of that habit?Polish Peter Kolat 17:33  Well, one I had to recognize that I can't hide it. It's impossible to hide it. People can see it because they were coming up to me, so guess what? The people pleaser in me didn't like that, right? Because guess what happens that they can see it. You know what I mean? So that's one. And two, during the whole awakening process, I started looking from all the different beliefs that I've had. Like I said to myself, like what the hell is wrong with me? So my brain went into the conversation. Well, here is the reason what's wrong with you because you got to be very careful the types of questions that you ask yourself because brain is going to give you the answer. Right?Polish Peter Kolat 18:10  What kind of answer is it going to give you? Well, the one that satisfied that question and it's going to go back to your past and your circumstances and all those kinds of things going to tell you the answer. So as I started looking from that perspective, I started discovering different beliefs that I formed over my course of the life, and then I ask myself, does this help me to get where I want or is it actually hindering me because are these beliefs from the place of fear, worry, or they're actually from the place of abundance I want to live? So then I discover most of them were not, you know, like the people pleaser. I think it's there is a fear-based kind of a way of living, people pleaser, because for me, one of the big things that I discovered that I wanted to feel important, like I matter, like I'm, you know, someone acknowledging me, those kinds of things. So people pleaser with me will say yes to everybody because I wanted to be the guy, right? At the end, it actually costing me a lot. I started discovering that what's costing me, and then I started basically creating a new belief system. You know, getting back to that authenticity, because if I look from that perspective, think about it: when we were four or five years old, were we fearful? Probably not. Were we curious? Heck yeah, we were. Kids are very curious. They're happy. They're in the moment, right?Lesley Logan 19:26  Yeah. Polish Peter Kolat 19:27  They are just full of you know whatever. So what if I just started doing that? You know, I mean, what if I just got back to that basics of it?Lesley Logan 19:35  Yeah.Polish Peter Kolat 19:36  And I was beginning to be more present, more intentional in life, and I think that's what helped me get out of this thing. Because what ends up happening? Think about people who are depressed. A lot of times, they are never in the present moment. They're in the in the past or in the future.Lesley Logan 19:50  Yeah, yeah. Polish Peter Kolat 19:52  So hope that makes sense. Lesley Logan 19:53  It does. It really does. It's, you know, like they say, if you live in the past, you're going to be depressed. If you live in the future, you're going to be anxious. It's really hard to be in the present. It can be hard to unravel those habits of not just people pleasing, but also trying to hold everything together when you know you don't want people to know that it's not all there. So I really appreciate you sharing that because I think it's really helpful. You know, you're obviously in a different place now, and I would love to hear your Be It Till You See It for attracting the partner you have now because it's not easy to go through a divorce and change like that. Like, do you want to dive into that? Because I read your notes and I thought, oh my god, this is so funny! I hit a rock bottom in 2013 and single and no car and no place to live and blah blah blah. And so I was like, okay, if I want to have a great partner in my life, I have to make space for them. And I had to, and I was, I had to work extra because I had no, I had to buy a new car and get a place to live in L.A.. And so I was like, how am I going to add a partner in this life if there's no life in this life? Like there's not space. So what I did was every morning I poured two cups of coffee. I poured one for me and one for the future Brad. I was like, I'm gonna be with someone who drinks coffee, and I'm making coffee in the morning. That's what I'm gonna do. And then I protected Thursday nights. I'm like, okay, Thursday nights I will say yes to nothing except for a potential date. And if on the day of I don't have a date, then I'm gonna do something for myself. But I'm protecting this for the person I want to be with, so that I can actually go on a date to meet someone. So, what about you? How did you? How did you become someone who could have someone in your life?Polish Peter Kolat 21:29  Yeah, I love that. By the way, the little things that you did. By the way, did you drink that second cup of coffee? Lesley Logan 21:34  Yes, I did. I became like I had. I'm a two-coffee girl. Polish Peter Kolat 21:37  All right, so you were like ready to go, right? Lesley Logan 21:40  Yes, yes. My day started early, so I just put one in a to-go container and one with me, and I definitely needed that. Polish Peter Kolat 21:47  All right, very cool. So listen. So the way I've approached this, is this, I wrote a vision for that future wife, you know, and I wrote a vision from the perspective of who do I want that person to be like. What are some of the maybe the musts, right? Like for instance, I have three kids, so she has to like my kids. My kids have to like her, right? I'm Christian, right? So she's hopefully going to be Christian. I want her to be Christian too, right? And so many different things, right? And there was must, shoulds, should nots, can't, right? All those different things, and then based on these qualities that I wrote on that piece of paper, big page. I mean, it was I don't know, maybe 30, 40 items on there. It was a huge, you know, and because I had this very elaborate kind of vision. And by the way, one that guy Jason Wojo, he actually encouraged me to do this, and I resisted it for a very long time. And then he finally found the wife. I'm like, well, maybe there's something to that, you know. So I finally wrote it and found this girl in January of 2016, and we started dating, and she was meeting these kind of qualities. What had me be able to go and find this girl? Because at the end of this vision that I wrote, I had to ask myself a very sovereign question, and that is this: Who do I need to become in order for that woman to actually show up in my life?Lesley Logan 23:07  Right.Polish Peter Kolat 23:07  Because if I'm a deadbeat and I don't want a deadbeat, then guess what? She's probably not going to look for a deadbeat. So who do I need to become in order for that woman to show up in my life?Lesley Logan 23:17  Yeah.Polish Peter Kolat 23:17  So that's the things that I started putting into my life to create this, you know, for instance, one of the things I used to do as a people pleaser is this best foot forward kind of a thing, right? When we go meet someone, yeah, I would show up differently, like I'm all put together or whatever might be. What I've discovered is that actually doesn't work very well for me, so I just like let's be authentic, right?Lesley Logan 23:42  Yes.Polish Peter Kolat 23:43  People say you have to wait two days to call the girl after you see her. Well, we went on a date, right? I texted her the next morning and say how was everything. You know what I mean? So you start breaking the rules of what the society says how it needs to be. Because if it's the right person, guess what? She's not gonna care either, right? And that's what basically started it all. And here's the thing, crazy thing, Lesley. But the first girl in January dating her, she didn't align because she was not emotionally available for me. Guess was not in that vision emotionally available.Lesley Logan 24:18  Oh.Polish Peter Kolat 24:18  So then we went our separate ways, found another girl in what was like March, April of that year. In June 1st, we started dating, and we started dating. And I know that she's very political, you know. And I'm like, man, she talks about politics a lot. And I'm well, if her political views or my political views are sort of similar, and I go in my vision. Guess what's not under the political views. So I added that in there. But I'm like looking probably category of a should, right? So we kept dating, and today we're married. So it's, you know what I mean, it's when you look from the perspective.Lesley Logan 24:56  I love this story because I think I went to a college where all the girls wrote the list of what they want in someone, and I was just, okay. That's great. You do need to know where you're going. We all have to have a map. Yeah. But also, so many people don't then look at what they need to attract that person. And when you're, if you're finding that you're not attracting the right person, there is, it's hello. It is you thing. It's not a them thing. A lot of people like to blame the dating pool out there, but it's like yes, and also if you keep attracting that person, there's something you're putting out into the world that is a magnet for that. We either repel people or we attract them, and I want to repel people who are not for me always, all the time. I don't want to be someone who's a magnet for things I don't want. So I love that you were okay. I love this, and this is what I want. But I need to be the person who this person would want. And then it's true; people don't realize that when a relationship doesn't work out, it's not like a failure. It's just information on, oh, I didn't realize how important this thing was to me, or actually, I didn't realize that this thing was a should, but it has to be a must because I thought it would I be okay with it, but I'm not, and that's it's just all information that we have to go out and we get to do and we get to figure out and we learn about ourselves dating these people. I love that so much. I think that's so cool.Polish Peter Kolat 26:10  That's why I said like it's most people there's a big missing element when people don't do this. You know what I mean? That's like who do I need to become? I think that people never ask the question because they're kind of worried and afraid what they might what the answer might be, and they're not willing to grow into that person.Lesley Logan 26:22  Yeah, yeah. Well, because it means letting go of stories that don't serve you.Polish Peter Kolat 26:27  Exactly. Because these stories, some shape or form, they do serve them. That's why they're holding onto them.Lesley Logan 26:33  I agree. I agree. Polish Peter, what are you most excited about right now?Polish Peter Kolat 26:38  Well, the one thing I'm most excited about is in the book that I released last year, I just want to make an impact in people's lives and be able to help them grow in their own life. So that's the thing that kind of that's my next mission in life, kind of thing.Lesley Logan 26:50  That's so cool. Okay, well, tell us about the book. Writing a book is not easy. You had to become a writer.Polish Peter Kolat 26:57  And I'm a talker, I'm a writer. You know what I mean? Lesley Logan 27:00  Yeah. How'd you do it? How'd you go from being a talker to a writer?Polish Peter Kolat 27:03  Well, I will tell you this: one day at a time, kind of a thing. I start with just one paragraph, one paragraph, one paragraph, and then end up being a book, like a 43,000-word book. I was surprised. I even surprised myself. I was like, "What? No way!"Lesley Logan 27:14  I don't even know how many words are in a regular book. How is that a lot? Polish Peter Kolat 27:18  No. So this is about 180-some pages. Lesley Logan 27:21  Okay, that's a good size book. Yeah. Okay. All right. Authentic Self Rebirth. I love it. Okay. Polish Peter Kolat 27:25  Authentic Self Rebirth. So, basically my own journey, and I'm looking to help people get back to their authenticity. That's the whole book.Lesley Logan 27:32  So okay, I want to because I love I want only authentic people in my life, and then also because of the internet, the authenticity word has been totally bastardized, ruined. But I don't think you. I think it's still important to have. So, what does authenticity mean to you? How do we know that we're being authentic?Polish Peter Kolat 27:52  When you're true to yourself, you know what I mean? Think about it this way: we all know deep down inside whether this that who we are is actually like, if you feel like there's something missing, you know, I have this question: like something's off, something's missing, something is not there. Do you know that you're not being your authentic self? And then the other aspect is that if you're living from the stories of what the world told you to be, how you need to be, and we all have this because at some point, Johnny, when he was in the second grade, he raised his hand and he was all excited to give an answer that two plus two equals three. You know what I mean? And the whole class laughed. And now Johnny decided that I'm never going to raise my hand again. I'm never going to speak up because I want to make sure 100% that I'm right. That's you being inauthentic, you know what I mean. Because now, because the world told you that you need to, you made the decision that I cannot speak up, and I think that's what happens for a lot of people that keeps them away from being fearless, to being courageous, being going out there and making things happen in life. You know what I mean? Because I think we all can impact somebody else's life. So when you start looking from that perspective, I had to. When I went through after the divorce, I noticed that a lot of the stuff that I was being was inauthentic because I wanted. I felt like there was deep down inside. I was supposed to be doing something else or being someone else, but I was just performing. There you go. That's the word. It's not about performing; it's about being. Yeah, and I think most people are performing.Lesley Logan 29:24  Yeah.Polish Peter Kolat 29:24  Especially on the social medias.Lesley Logan 29:26  Oh well, that's what it's for.Polish Peter Kolat 29:28  Yeah, exactly.Lesley Logan 29:30  I mean, my favorite compliment. My listeners have heard this before. I was, it was 2019, I want to say, and I was in Australia, and I'd finished teaching these workshops, and I wanted to go to this one store before it closed, and so the host was driving me to the store, and we're having some fun. We're in the traffic, whatever. And the host, one of the hosts, is, "You're the same person in real life that you are online." And I.Polish Peter Kolat 29:51  Right.Lesley Logan 29:51  Yeah, I don't know. I actually don't know how to be anybody else. I I don't actually know how to do that. Maybe that's the AuDHD in me. Like I don't actually. I really. Don't know. I can only really be myself, and so thank you for that. And it's it's difficult because what happens is people get rewarded for performing, just like little Johnny learned, don't raise your hand, you'll get laughed at. Other people learn, I get attention if I perform, and so it's hard for people to be authentic because on either side, you know, there's these pressures to be something else, or pulling you to be something else. So I agree. A lot of people do perform instead of being. So that's I like. I think authenticity is when you're being. I love that. Yeah.Polish Peter Kolat 30:31  Because think about. I used to hate my accent. I want to get rid of it as much as possible. I actually because I will tell you this. Doing events around the country now, right? We, you know, and so I speak in front of people. My team, because we have a team that runs it, there is in the back of the room there is a thing called Peterisms, the words and phrases that Peter says that maybe people don't understand or sound something different. I am not allowed to say the word shift because it sounds like something else. Okay? However, guess what? Do you think that stops me from being me, kind of a thing? No, no. And I think that's what I think is missing in life, that authenticity than just being, because people are always looking from the perspective. I need to looking good, right? I think that's another thing that drives a lot of this conversation.Lesley Logan 31:20  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's so interesting. I, you know what, I don't know a single person who likes the sound of their voice, and I don't even, you know, I'm always oh, I don't have an accent, and then I go places that, you know, I do have an accent. I love your accent. I'm, what are you talking about? I don't have an accent because I'm from California and we don't have an accent. But the people in the South, you sound like you're from California. So.Polish Peter Kolat 31:41  I hear you.Lesley Logan 31:42  Oh my gosh! Well, I I think you know what's so fun about this Polish Peter is we're all going to be on a journey, and the more we learn about ourselves, the more the better we get at being ourselves. You know, so thank you for going on this with us and sharing your book and your story with us. We're going to take a brief break and find out what people can find you, follow you, be inspired by you. Lesley Logan 32:03  All right, Polish Peter, where do you hang out? Where can they buy your book? Where can they learn more about how to be their authentic self?Polish Peter Kolat 32:09  Well, they can find the book. By the way, thank you so much, Lesley, for having me. It was great being here. They can find the book at myauthenticrebirth.com. That's myauthenticrebirth. They can pick up the book and just pay for shipping and handling there, or literally anywhere the books are sold, like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, anywhere. And you want to hear more of this accent. You want to hear more of these kinds of mind-shift kind of videos. Instagram channel that I'm constantly under. It's called Authentic Self Rebirth. That's the name of the channel.Lesley Logan 32:39  I love it. Okay, you've given us some really great tips. I mean, quite honestly, like people can be it till they see it with most of what we just talked about. But what bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted steps can people take to be it till they see it?Polish Peter Kolat 32:51  Be it till they see it. Be literally every day. Be with yourself. Like get in front of the camera, or get in front of the mirror and just be with yourself, and see when you are feeling comfortable or uncomfortable. And you know what ends up happening because most people do not like looking at themselves, right? And do not like being with themselves. So every single day, I would say, get in front of the camera or get in front of the mirror that you just be with yourself and just be quiet. I used to sometimes I do this exercise in our events, and if you want to do this, do that with your spouse or someone that's very close with you. Stand or sit in front of someone that's maybe a foot away from you, and just look at each other quietly without saying anything for five minutes. It will be the one of the longest minutes in your entire life, and you're going to see so many different emotions, so many different things in each other, and it's one of the most powerful exercises I've done with people because you don't say anything, but you are talking the entire time. That makes any sense?Lesley Logan 33:57  Yeah, yeah. Oh, I agree. People don't sit with our thoughts very much, and it's true. I definitely had no idea that most of my job would be me looking at myself in a camera. You know, you got to do it. It's a you got to do it so you can get over the things that you don't like about yourself, and also get excited about the things you do like about yourself. And you know, I think that's really a really good thing, and I also think so many of us are so busy in our head we're never with ourselves. So I love this. I love this action so great. Polish Peter, you are fabulous. You guys go get his book and share with Polish Peter and myself what were your takeaways, what landed with you. Share this with a friend who needs to hear it. Maybe you have an optimistic depressed friend who just needs to be called out in a kind way. They won't know until they get to this part that that's why you send it to them.Polish Peter Kolat 34:45  That's right.Lesley Logan 34:46  And you know, I think we all have a lot of us have people pleasing to work on. You know, and it's one of the biggest things you can do for yourself. So, thank you for your inspiration, your tips, your wonderfulness.

Sylvester Stallone was going to be Axel Foley in "Beverly Hills Cop". The problem is Stallone thought the humor need to be removed and the violence needed to be turned up. Stallone was let go from "Beverly Hills Cop", but he got to keep his humorless and violent ideas. Those ideas became the 1986 film "Cobra".Join Ty and RD as they look back at the Cannon films classic and ask "Is "Cobra" any good?"Download the episode for free.

Chris here... man remember back when we did this podcast? We had to watch stuff like DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE all the time! Hoo boy did we not enjoy this one. Fun fact: listeners got to vote on whether we watched this or the Beverly Hills Cop reboot, and friend of the show Rachel Fisher (Hollywood Crime Scene; my remedial high school science class) cast the deciding vote for D&W. This means that decision was a sort of temporal pivot point, and there is another timeline in which-*deafening gunshot*

In this bonus discussion tying into our month of buddy cop action movies we decided to take on a movie that isn't perhaps an example of a buddy genre but it had nonetheless influenced the trend one way or another, the 1984 Beverly Hills Cop. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about the many ways in which Eddie Murphy impacted Hollywood, the long and winding history of how the movie came together and how it ended up proving once and for all that a black actor did not need a buddy to lead a movie. We also talk about the MTV aesthetic slowly creeping into the movies, Beverly Hills Cop as a potential commentary on class and a seemingly controversial idea that Eddie Murphy maybe gave a social performance in the lead role that many viewers overlooked.Tune in and enjoy! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and support us by gaining access to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Head over to our website to find out more!

That's not a podcast, THIS is a podcast! The Bitter Buddha himself, Eddie Pepitone, joins Paul, Jason, and June to cover the 2001 Paul Hogan comedy Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.

Then, co-writer of the movie Matthew Berry pops in to discuss how he first got involved on the project, his public dispute with Paul Hogan over writing credit, and the things he's proud of and embarrassed by in the movie.

Judge not lest ye be Judge Reinhold. I think it says that somewhere in the Bible or maybe Robert McKee’s Story. Anyhoo, Vicky Van, Eric Fell and Jason Dedrick are back to talk about their memories of 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop. Will they forget to talk about Bronson Pinchot? Don’t be ridiculous. As a nod to Pinchot’s Serge, the hosts enjoy an Espresso Martini with Lemon. Also since it’s a buddy movie, they will also dine on A & W Buddy Burgers. But we’re just Neutron Dancing around the real issue, did they make a tribute drink? Yes! The Banana in the Tailpipe. Want to make it? Add to blender: One cup of milk (dairy or otherwise) One half cup of ice One banana (ideally frozen) One ounce of Kahlua Blend, pour into a tumbler and garnish with a slice of banana Review from producer’s wife: Totally awesome. Like visiting a mall in the ’80s and getting a better version of an Orange Julius. If you make The Banana in the Tailpipe or, better yet, make up a drink of your own, please send a picture to sneakyd@sneakydragon.com by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

Got kinda warm yesterday! Looking at even warmer temps in the forecast today with a high of 83° expected. In the news this morning, a University of Wisconsin scientist allegedly tried to poison a coworker, Dave Mason of "Traffic" is dead at age 79, a man has been charged in connection with the deadly shooting in Louisiana earlier this week, researchers believe they have more evidence of the location of Noah's Ark, and a recall on thousands of Harley-Davidsons. In sports, the Brewers got a big win over Detroit last night, a recap of last night's NBA & NHL Playoff scores, plus…Wemby suffers a concussion…and a delay during the Kings game because of broken glass. Former Badger John Blackwell is headed to Duke, and Mike Vrabel finally speaks to the media. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and what we've been watching lately. Plus, Jeopardy is getting another spin-off! Today is Earth Day, so make sure you do something nice for the planet, okay? A utility worker is being praised for saving a child's life after he saved the kid from wandering into traffic on a busy road. And check out these lucky students who got a very special ride to their prom last weekend. In another edition of "One Gotta Go Wednesday", we picked which buddy cop franchise can be eliminated from this group: Lethal Weapon. Beverly Hills Cop. Bad Boys. Rush Hour. Elsewhere in sports, the latest on the upcoming NFL draft, former Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin will have a new gig this fall, Billy Donovan is out in Chicago, and a breakdown of the WrestleMania stats that have a lot of people pissed off! Yesterday, we learned that Grant Bilse doesn't know how to polka, so we decided to come up with a list of questions to ask him next Tuesday to determine how "Wisco" he truly is. The Cleveland Cavaliers have an extremely interesting on-court game involving a leaf-blower. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a twerking substitute teacher, some pilots who had some fun while training, a dad in MN who doesn't want to live in America anymore, and aSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clay Edwards turns a laid-back Friday into a full-on 80s movie nostalgia fest, trading serious rants for pure fun as listeners, callers, and texters battle it out over the best films of the decade that actually got sequels. The conversation explodes with classics flying left and right: Rocky III (Clubber Lang vs. the eye of the tiger), Die Hard (the ultimate Christmas debate), Lethal Weapon, Predator, Terminator, Porky's (a rite-of-passage favorite for keeping teenage boys straight), Eddie and the Cruisers (Clay's dark-horse pick, with the sequel edging out the original), Revenge of the Nerds, Back to the Future, 48 Hrs., Beverly Hills Cop, National Lampoon's Vacation series, Airplane!, Police Academy, Gremlins, The Blues Brothers, Nightmare on Elm Street, and many more. Clay breaks down why the 80s produced so many quotable, timeless lines—“I'll be back,” “Surely you can't be serious,” “Yippee-ki-yay,” “Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads”—that still live rent-free in people's heads, while modern blockbusters rarely deliver anything half as memorable. He reflects on how the decade nailed high-testosterone action, raunchy comedy, and feel-good escapism without forcing agendas down anyone's throat. The segment turns interactive with real-time call-ins and texts dropping favorites (Top Gun, Rambo, Young Guns, and honorable mentions like The Lost Boys sequels and even American Pie as a spiritual successor), plus Clay's own cheat-code additions and why he'd take Porky's over most “manosphere” content for teaching young guys life lessons the old-fashioned way. Expect laughs, heated (but friendly) debates, FOMO over forgotten gems, and Clay's signature take: the 80s was peak movie-making—prove him wrong. A perfect, light-hearted wind-down to the week filled with zero politics and maximum vibes. Grab some popcorn, cue the synth soundtrack, and relive the decade that gave us the movies we still quote today.

This week on the Action Movie Guys Podcast, Nate watches Beverly Hills Cop III (1994) for the very first time, while Alex and special guest Evan revisit the film after many years away.From the shift in tone to John Landis' direction, the guys dive into what makes this third entry so different from the previous films. Does it hold up? Is it an underrated sequel, or does it stray too far from what made the franchise great?

Além de ser um dos melhores filmes de sempre, o Beverly Hills Cop trouxe-nos o tema Axel F, um ícone musical intemporal - recentemente popularizado pelo boneco Crazy Frog!

This week, Alex and Nate revisit Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) for the first time in a long while, and they're joined by Evan for the ride. The guys dive into the action, comedy, and iconic '80s style that made this sequel a fan favorite. From Eddie Murphy's charm to Tony Scott's slick direction, the crew breaks down what still works, what doesn't, and why this franchise remains legendary.

On this week's Breaking Sports with Yarbs & Will, the guys thaw out from a surprise snow and dive straight into a wild slate: Indiana–Penn State's toe-tap classic (was that Francisco Mendoza's Heisman moment?) and a spirited side rant on Gus Johnson going full Nic Cage; why Texas A&M might secretly be No. 1 while the ACC keeps eating itself; USC's jersey-swap fake-punt loophole; and LSU's Brian Kelly mess, buyout brinkmanship, and statehouse drama. They unpack the growing prop-bet scandal (why college props might be first on the chopping block), then hit Sports STAT: Cade Cunningham's 45 on 45 shots, a Browns-Jets stat unicorn, and Philly's turnover stinginess. Pop-culture pit stop: a new Eddie Murphy doc sparks a “3-on-3” of their favorite Eddie films (Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places, Coming to America and more). The Get Off My Lawn duo goes at the NBA's new USA vs. World All-Star format and the habit of gold-jacket-ing QBs after five good games. Finally: Panthers-Saints autopsy (does Dave Canales trust Bryce Young?), plus whether late-season Thursday nighters should exist at all. It's jokes, receipts, and rants—STAT.

Get ready for some '80s action and laughs! In this Episode, Alex and Nate revisit Beverly Hills Cop (1984) — a film they haven't seen in ages — and Evan joins them for the ride! From Eddie Murphy's iconic performance as Axel Foley to the unforgettable soundtrack, the guys break down what makes this classic still so much fun.

Not many celebrity careers have the legs of Eddie Murphy's. He starts out as a teenage stand up comic and soon becomes the breakout star on “Saturday Night Live.” Then Eddie seamlessly transitions from the small screen to the silver screen with comedies like “Beverly Hills Cop,” “48 Hours,” and “Trading Places.” And with his specials “Delirious” and “Raw,” he establishes himself as one of his generation's most influential and important comics as well. And then, after an embarrassing and potentially career-ending scandal, he manages to reinvent himself as the beloved star of family movies like “The Nutty Professor,” “Mulan,” and “Shrek.” Eddie Murphy was born funny and his legacy will be felt for generations to come.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

RUNDOWN   Episode 344 of Mitch Unfiltered opens with a humorous lament over the nonexistence of a 344 area code and quickly shifts into cultural reflection—from Morgan Wallen's massive Seattle shows to a heartfelt tribute to late jazz musician Chuck Mangione. Mitch and Hotshot Scott marvel at Ichiro Suzuki's eloquent, humorous, and emotional Hall of Fame speech, calling it mesmerizing and long overdue. Mitch and Hotshot dig into the Mariners' playoff hopes and trade deadline calculus. They debate the potential impact of acquiring Gino Suarez—Seattle fan favorite and current Diamondbacks slugger—and analyze Josh Naylor's recent addition to the lineup. Investment advisor and father of four, John Wasnock of North Bend, WA, stunned the poker world by finishing second in the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event, earning a $6 million prize. A lifelong poker hobbyist and devoted Mariners fan, Wasnock's dream run began as a bucket-list entry and ended in financial freedom — allowing him and his wife to retire and focus on family. Despite losing a pivotal hand on the river, Wasnock played with composure and integrity, becoming a beloved underdog in the process. Brady Farkas joins Mitch Unfiltered to reflect on Ichiro Suzuki's powerful, funny, and fully English Hall of Fame speech in Cooperstown—calling it the best he's heard. Despite the celebratory weekend, the Mariners' on-field play disappointed, as they went 3–4 and squandered chances to gain ground in the playoff race. Trade deadline buzz surrounds players like Luke Raley and Geno Suarez, while Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh give fans reasons to stay hopeful. Mitch and Jason Puckett (aka "Puck") dive into Chapter 10 of KJAren'ts, with plenty of laughs and commentary. Mitch shares how cohost Hotshot Scott somehow always has the perfect contact—including a North Bend native who just won $6 million as runner-up at the World Series of Poker. They also unpack the Seahawks' surprise release of Noah Fant and speculate on Seattle's thin wide receiver room heading into the season.   GUESTS   John Wasnock | Financial Investment Advisor Turned Poker Sensation Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Jason Puckett | Radio Host, KJ-Aren'ts & PuckSports.com   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Ichiro's Hall of Fame Speech, North Bend Poker Star, and a Chuck Mangione Tribute Mark 26:08 | Mariners Trade Deadline Math, Gino's Bat, and a Poker Cinderella from North Bend 41:00 | GUEST: John Wasnock; North Bend Dad Wins $6M, Finishes Second at World Series of Poker. 1:09:43 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table, Brady Farkas; Ichiro Shines in Cooperstown, Mariners Struggle on the Field 1:41:00 | GUEST: KJ-Aren'ts [Jason Puckett] Seattle Poker Cinderella, Seahawks Cuts, and the Marvel That Is Hotshot 1:56:03 | Other Stuff Segment: Adam Sandler's Netflix relationship and comedy legacy, Carl Weathers' intended involvement before his passing, Netflix's approach to greenlighting sequels (e.g., Beverly Hills Cop, Hubie Halloween), Seahawks Training Camp 2025 opens at VMAC, Kenny McIntosh injury (likely ACL, out for season), Washington Commanders stadium deal at old RFK site and political implications (President's statement about renaming to Redskins), Will Levis shoulder surgery; Cam Ward to start for Titans, Shilo Sanders (son of Deion) gets no first-team reps in Browns camp but takes the high road, Scotty Scheffler's British Open win, TaylorMade under fire for Photoshopping Scheffler's hairline in post-win ad, John Daly appearances at Augusta Hooters ended due to Hooters bankruptcy/closure, Barry Bonds' 756th home plate auctioned ($132,000), Cubs fan falls into net trying to get a home run ball at Wrigley Field, Bill Self (Kansas basketball coach) recovering after heart surgery, Caitlin Clark's rookie card sells for $660,000, most ever for a women's sports card, Uber launches “Women Preferred” mode for drivers and riders for added safety, Chuck E.

Let's do the Dance of Joy as the gang digs deeper into the TGIF-verse to hang with our distant cousin from Mypos - Balki Bartokomous (a.k.a. the legendary Bronson Pinchot)! Bronson shares stories from his iconic roles in “Beverly Hills Cop," “Risky Business” and “True Romance," but also opens up about the challenge of playing silly characters when in reality…not everything is silly. A Friday night neighbor on "Perfect Strangers" AND "Step By Step," he details how he's become an absolute powerhouse in audiobooks and how he responds when someone KINDA recognizes him.
