This year's Apple developers conference, WWDC, was held from June 9th to 13th. It saw many interesting announcements, including a harmonized version naming across all the OSs, interesting Apple Intelligence, and other features supported on Apple products.  In this episode, Next Curve's Leonard Lee and I discuss the event's key takeaways, including Apple opening access to its on-device LLM to app developers, Apple Intelligence, iPadOS crossing the boundary into Laptop territory, new features coming to MacOS, and how many VisionOS features are entering other products. We also delve into some of the misses, including Siri, minimal focus on Agentic AI, and others.  

The Working Actor Road Map Connect with Jocelyn on Instagram Today I am talking with Jocelyn Sandstrom about quantum manifestation.  About Jocelyn: Growing up in Hawaii, Jocelyn has lived and worked in 12 different countries. This experience has allowed her to realize that even though we may speak different languages or have different traditions, at our core, we are all the same. She has used this knowledge to help and support clients around the world in creating next-level success not just in their careers but in their personal lives as well.  Since 2010, she has been providing Quantum Energy Sessions and teaching Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Neurological Re-patterning, and the Millennium Method to clients globally.  In 2022, she founded Wellness and Metaphysical, a community-driven platform that promotes a higher level of consciousness through expos and retreats. Jocelyn's mindset and energy work have propelled her career, allowing her to work with leading global luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Christian Louboutin, and Yves Saint Laurent, among others.    She has been featured on the covers of Elle, Marie Claire, Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, and more.  Alongside her husband, she has hosted two travel shows and appeared in various feature and short films.  Now, she is focused on sharing her knowledge and experience through coaching and mentoring to help others to quantum leap their reality.  Jocelyn specializes in helping clients release deep-rooted issues from their past that are holding them back. She supports clients in building not just success but also fulfillment at the same time because success without fulfillment is empty, leading to burnout and anxiety. She supports her clients to discover their authentic truth and share that with the world, magnetizing their energy to start attracting people and opportunities out of the blue, enabling them to fall in love with themselves and their life while creating more success than ever before! How did you get into quantum manifestation? So basically I got into doing this one because my mom got sick in 2002 and so it was my inspiration to really dive into this world and I helped her to get better naturally and then through that at the same time I was working on my career when I was modeling and I was able to take that career to a place beyond my wildest dreams through quantum manifestation. And I just kept blowing my mind over every time I would work on something and a job would show up or an opportunity would show up. And so much so that my husband was like, what in the world is it that you're doing? And he ended up taking all the classes because he couldn't believe it as well because we lived in such a fixed reality of you do this, then this happens, you do this, then this happens. But when you play with quantum manifestation, you're co creating with the universe, things in your life that don't make sense, that drop in out of the blue, those magic emails, opportunities, chance encounters, being in the right place at the right time. And every time that happens, it quantum leaps you to a whole other energy. And so my passion is to share that with the world, because really, we don't need to be doing it the hard way anymore.  There's this way that we haven't tapped into yet that just helps you to collapse time. And my passion is to help everybody to do that.  My big thing is about waking up every day, suiting up, showing up, and reporting for duty.  I so strongly believe that the universe has a much better plan for me than I do.  Because I have all of my limiting beliefs that I've brought with me throughout my, throughout my life. And I have found that, that suiting up, showing up and reporting for duty, really, it's amazing how fast things work.  Can you talk about the very beginning process of quantum manifestation?  So there's a couple of different things. The first one is being able, I call it tapping into your inner knowing or your inner soul knowing, whatever word you want to use for that. We all know, I truly know that any of my dreams and visions are my soul or my inner knowing showing me what it came here to experience.  And so to me in quantum physics, past, present, future, it's now like it's happened. It's a future memory, a future echo showing me what's coming.  If I show up every single day and take aligned action. It's the knowing that's inside.  If you listen to any actor that's doing their acceptance speech, it's this is for everybody that told me I couldn't I knew that I could, and when I first took my career to the next level, I was told by everybody that you're too old. You don't have the right look. You're not this, you're not that. Can't do it. And I'm like, no, watch me.  And I just, that was so deep that I didn't let people suppress it. And so every single day I took aligned action. I know that we are an energetic match for our goals. The only thing in the way is our beliefs, our doubts, our worries, all of these stories that it then has to come through to find us.  And so my job is to help you to find those beliefs, to shift them out, to clear those worries so it can drop in faster.  And so if you just tap into that inner knowing, I have a soul evolution process.  Anybody can message me on Instagram. If you do that every single day, you're going to cultivate your inner knowing to be stronger than your conditioned mind.  Our job is to override the conditioned mind. Our conditioned mind is going to give us more of what exists.  Like you said, that your soul, the universe, your knowing has a bigger plan.  Like I always tell my conditioned mind to let go of the steering wheel and let my soul take me on the ride of my life.  Because what's waiting for me on the other side is beyond my wildest imagination. So if I try and figure out the how, I limit myself, I kill the magic, and I get stuck in more of the same. And we're not here to play in more of the same. We're here to innovate and create and bring in the next level of things.  Two thought and power systems. There's the ego thought system and power system which is finite. And then there's the universe's power and thought system which is infinite.  And what I want to be living is in the infinite. But that has taken me to really work on.  And what I love about quantum manifestation is that we're really talking about moving it as fast as it possibly can, and easier. So the thing is with quantum manifestation in the past, I used to manifest like individual things, right? Like I want this and then I want this and then I'm so exhausted because I had to put all my energy into manifesting that one thing that I'm like, okay, I need a break, right? Instead of just continuing to go. In quantum manifestation, we don't work on the projection, we don't work on the symptoms, we work on the root.  We work on that root to shift that root from the core so that you're just being. You are just being this new way that all that other stuff just works.  So once you shift that, it's when you're trying to untangle your hair, if you start from here, it takes forever, right? But if you start from here, it's, it just untangles effortlessly.  That's the core, like really tapping into that inner knowing from yourself, reprogramming those beliefs, any trigger, any fear, any anxiety, there's a belief there, there's a story, there's something that we picked up that's not serving us, that's allowing us to be triggered. And so you just need to find what that is and shift that story out. An easy way to do it without the reprogramming process, is if you've really if you've really anchored in your knowing from within and you know that's the plan that's coming you know that it's inevitable if you just show up and take a line action every single day. I do soul work so if you tap into the inner power of your infinite soul because all our souls are same power but different or one of the same and so if you recognize that a lot of these things are just the conditioned mind of what we took on, but they're not our soul.  If we're afraid of taking a leap because we're afraid of the rejection, the only part of us that's going to be bruised is our ego, not our soul. Our soul is infinite. And so if you can tap into that knowing and into that power, you can override a lot of the stories. You can say, Hey, that's not mine. That's my parents. That's societies. That's from a past life, whatever it is. And you can remember who you are, which is limitless, which is infinite potentiality. And so a lot of times just that can shed some of those beliefs.  Other beliefs are so deep that we have to do a reprogramming process on them because your conditioned mind is so afraid of letting them go because it doesn't know what's going to happen, right? But when you can just cultivate that every single day to override it. And I love that because I love it. Yeah. Blow my mind every single day. I'm like universe blow my mind today.  It's really change your thoughts, change your world. But it's not only your thoughts. You said something very pertinent that I think is so important, which is you're changing your thoughts every day. And you're changing your actions.  It cannot be just one or the other.  So you have your goal. You need to make sure that all of your thoughts are aligned with that goal. And you need to make sure your daily actions are aligned with that goal.  You're taking aligned action or what is going to bring the most value to your vision, not just doing all the time, we're like, no, we're very clear that what is going to bring the most value to this. If I could do everything, what's that one thing that I could do today?  I also talk about for those of you who are older tuning, if you can imagine a radio dial Getting it off the station of ego and turning it on to the station of the universe, if that makes sense. What do you tell the disbelievers? The people who are like, the universe has it out for me. Nothing ever good happens to me and I don't believe anything ever will.  I used to have to do everything the hard way because my condition mind needed to prove that I didn't, I wasn't the lucky one that I didn't, it didn't just fall into my lap that I'm not, it's just not easy for me. And it's not like for everybody else.  Until I realized I don't want to live that life. Like I don't need to prove to you. If I get to live an easy life, I'm the one that's riding the, riding down the lazy river. I don't care what other people think. So that's when I realized I'm not here to prove it to anybody. Like I'm here to live it. And if you want to hop on, I'll give you the secret. And if not. That's totally fine. You can continue to live that.  The other thing is, we validate whatever story we desire to validate over and over again.  Because we're the ones that get to live this life, and if you don't want to, that's totally fine, everyone has a different journey, some people want that journey, and that's perfect, it's exactly as it's meant to be for them, it's just not my journey anymore and validating it someone will come to me and they'll say, this always happens, I always attract these people, I always get to this point, and then it just sabotages, or whatever it is, and I'm like, okay, always, and they say, No, not always, but this. And I'm like, okay, congratulations. You validated it. Do you want to keep validating that? Or do you want to start validating a story that you actually want to live?  Because You can say, I'm not, I'm just not confident and all of these reasons why you're not confident, but you're very confident that you're not confident, right? Or I just can't trust, I just can't trust this happens and this happens, but you can't trust that you can't trust, but you trust that you can't trust or that I'm not the creator of my reality. Everything is outside of my hands. And so you just continue to show up that way. So of course, you're going to have a reality that's out of your hands, but once you decide what you want that narrative to be and you start validating it like the red car theory.  If you were driving down the street, how many red cars did you see? But then the next day if you did, how many red cars would you see if you were looking for the red cars? Like you'd see a red car down an alley parked somewhere because you were looking for it, right? So just make your new story, your red car, of course, there's a lot more to it than that, but that's where you get to start.  You get to say, okay, what are all these patterns showing up in my life that aren't in my life that aren't serving me?  And do I continue to want to have this pattern or what would I like to shift it to instead? And how do I then stop validating that story and start validating this story?  And once you do that, your whole world is going to shift.  Sayings is from Dr. Wayne Dyer changed the way you look at things and the things you look at change. A hundred million percent and overnight. Yeah. It's overnight. That's the crazy thing. I didn't realize how fast it would be. Like I used to always attract people into my life, so called attract, because, and we'd always start out at the same point. Yeah. But by the end of it, I'd be doing all the work, whether it was a partnership, whether it was a corporate company. By the end, I'd be always doing this. And I couldn't understand why I keep attracting these people until I did the inner work and realized, oh, it's because I didn't think I was worthy and deserving. So I'd start out this way, but then I kept having to prove that I was good enough. And so I'd keep taking on the work. And if they say, can you do this? I'd say yes. Or if they didn't do it, I'd say, don't worry about it. I'll do it for you. I got you. You take a rest, and then I would, I was bringing, I was creating it out of them. And the minute I realized that, and I said, stopped and I saw one of my ex partners and just randomly, and I was like, I'm not that person anymore. I know who I am.  And I spoke to her, same power, but different. All of a sudden, the relationship changed instantly. And she started asking me questions and offering me things. I had no idea it would happen that fast. That's how fast we can change our reality.  We get to fall in love with our life in an instant. If we realize that we're in love, that everything we're living now, there is a younger version of us that dreamed about it and manifested it.  And so if we live this life for them and stop like living on the next chapter, we get to live this life, like that version of us that dreamed about it, like this house that I used to drive by every day envisioning my son playing in the yard and all of those things and then you move in and you're like okay that's great what's next right but then now I sit there and I watch him and Iwatch him in the yard like that girl that used to drive by I watch it for her and I feel the feels deep in gratitude while i'm creating the next level so instantly your life changes because just like the frequency on the radio you've now shifted your frequency to gratitude you're no longer in lack you're now in abundance And when you're in the abundance frequency, you just start attracting more abundance. And it just becomes that you get to love this incredible life that you get to live while you're creating the next level instead of, I just need to get there.  Can you talk about how you work with actors in particular? Just like any industry, it doesn't matter what it is. We just go in and we find what those blocks are. I'll ask you, what's that pattern that's coming up? What's the thing that you've been like you plateaued in, or what's that thing that you want to open up that you want to call in when everybody says you can't.  If you know that it's possible, I know it's possible.  So then we go on a deep dive and we discover what are those blocks, where are they coming from? What story are we going to shift it to? What are we going to reprogram from the root so that you now just create this new reality where it just flows and drops into your life.  It becomes effortless because you're just getting the things that are in the way out. So you become magnetized. When your energy is magnetized, you're not chasing the butterflies. You're building the garden. So the butterflies come to you. You will start receiving emails or opportunities in your, or you run into somebody at the Starbucks and be that thing. That's how I started doing corporate workshops, right? I wanted to do a corporate workshop and I was doing all the behind the scenes actions, and then the universe is okay, you're ready. And they dropped in a CEO and told them and said, Oh yeah, I have a team. I said, absolutely. I train, I do that. Suddenly the proposal I did, boom, you quantum leap into that. So when it's acting, it's the same thing. Those roles, those meetings, the right people, the right place at the right time, we just got to clear out the stuff that's getting in the way.  That's already trying to make its way to you, but it's going through all of this stuff. And so when your job is to just be in the zone, to get in the zone and be in the zone to amplify your magnet your magnetism, you let your energy in the universe do the work for you. But of course there's aligned action that we're going to have to take. And a lot of times aligned action is not comfortable, but that's why I'm here. To help you to make it comfortable, right?  So on that subject, I'm going to use myself as the guinea pig and I'm going to talk, tell you how I have come through this and then I would love to get your feedback. I have always from, and I'm validating it right now because I just consider it to be a fact, I have suffered from anxiety pretty much my whole life up until a few years ago when somehow the thing, if you ask me, what is the thing that frightens you most in the world, I will tell you, having a panic attack. Or getting that anxiety. And I know what that is. But then this started to happen. I went, that's not gonna go away, that is a pattern that I live with. And so if I just accept that it is a pattern that I live with, and I started to realize there were things that I could do that when it would come up would diminish it, and then I would walk through it, and then I'd get something else. I'd get the confidence that I know how to deal with it, which was like humongous confidence, right?  So self esteem. So much so that a situation that I now can't even remember what it was happened, I don't know, a week ago, that the anxiety didn't come up anymore.  Because I know that when it comes up, I will be able to deal with it because I have found the antidote for those specific things that I use tough love, I know what aligned action I need to take when it comes up.  So that's how I have worked through it.  And to this day, continue to do it and will continue to do it. And like I said, The anxiety doesn't come up as much, but would you say, and I'm even being brave asking it because I'm like, okay, I got it. I got it. I don't even want to know more, but I no longer want to be afraid of it coming up anymore because again, I know how to deal with it.  Is that how you deal with it? Or do you think you just don't have anxiety anymore, because on some level, I do think, it's not that I don't have anxiety anymore, but it certainly, it isn't stopping me anymore, so I'm curious to get your feedback on that. The first thing, if you're I believe what I would do. What you did is amazing. Like basically our conditioned mind is here to keep us safe. And so if you push yourself out of your comfort zone, your conditioned mind is going to pull you back because that's the conditioned mind's job.  But the work I do is tapping into the infinite power from the infinite soul to override the conditioned mind. Which it sounds like that you did, you were able to find, regulate their nervous system, pull yourself out of it to show your conditioned mind that it doesn't have to be afraid for you, right?  And so the more that you build that confidence, the more that your conditioned mind can slowly start to relax. However, you do that in whatever modality you do that. You do that and then so it gets to relax because it knows that you got this because you say you're going to do something and then you do it.  You're taking the aligned action.  You're making the brave moves and you're showing your conditioned mind that you got this. Now the way that I would help my clients is because I like to do things fast. And I like to quantum leap. Is I'll go straight to the root. And I'll reprogram it. And we'll go do a reprogramming process to discover where it's coming from to begin with. What happened that's causing your conditioned mind to have so much fear for you? Then go back, reprogram that and shift it out from the root so that thing's not even there. Because fear is an illusion, right? Fear comes from a story. When I was working on clearing my fear of heights and I was going to jump off this rock in Hawaii at Waimea Bay, a lot of people might know about it, I only ever jumped off the lower level, never the high, highest level. And this isn't like a crazy fear. So I knew I could do it by myself.  And on the way up, I was reprogramming myself to shift it out. And this 12 year old girl is just like running around, jumping off, coming back, running around, jumping off. And I had this clear, I was like, thank you universe, because I had this clear vision of what the illusion of this fear was that this girl didn't have in her reality. And so that's just something that my conditioned mind picked up, but that's not my soul.  And so that was also a piece that helped me to release it, to recognize this isn't even real. I created a story around it. That created this. And so when you can poke holes in the illusion and when you can reprogram it from the root, it's no longer in your reality anymore. It's just not even a thing.  And then if it does come up again, we get to reprogram it again.  But as you do this more and more, you're going to override it.  It is a thing if you keep saying you have it. So I'm not saying you don't have to gaslight yourself and say, No, I don't have it. But just neutralize it to the point that it's just something that you're shifting through. And that's it. But you don't say that I have it anymore. Because the minute that we say that we have it, we pull ourselves right back into it. But it's just okay, I'm shifting through this. I'm growing through this, I used to have severe.  Now it's just something that I'm overriding. And then one day you're just not even going to think about it. It's going to be like, oh my gosh, like I used to have that? Yeah. You know what I mean? I love the idea of neutralize. That's a great word because I feel like my anxiety has been neutralized. Just something I never thought would be possible. And so I do want to say that for people who are listening, I also love this thing about saying that you're going to do it and then doing it.  And the more and the more you do it, the more trust you build up in yourself, how you do one thing is how you do all things. And I think that pick one thing that you are going to be, or I always say, pick one thing that you're going to be disciplined in doing.  And then if you do that, you can spring off so much more just from that.  You're talking about anxiety, but as actors go into readings, and all of these things, there's so much emotions that go through it, right? What if we cleared all of those emotions so you could just go in and you could just be? Your most magnetic self, what if you could magnetize your energy that like, you're in a room and all of a sudden you turn and you don't know why and you're drawn to this person who's just so magnetized. You don't know what they do. You don't know who they are. You just are drawn to their energy. What if you could magnetize your energy that way? And so when you walk into the room, people say that they walked into the room and I just knew, right? What if you could do that? Becausethere's that movie I feel pretty.  You remember that movie with Amy Schumer?  It's like a whole belief shift movie. It's hilarious. And so in this movie, she wants to look a certain way and she doesn't like the way she looks and she hits her head and she wakes up thinking that she looks that way, even though the whole rest of the world sees her as she was, but she thought she looked this way. And so she, because she believed she created that belief shift, that she looked that way. She walked around the entire world in that belief shift. In that reality and so if someone insulted her in her mind, there's no way it could ever be an insult. She just thought they were insecure and she's oh, it's okay. It could be intimidating to be around me.  And she was just in her power and all of a sudden people were like, who is this woman? I want to be around her.  Watch that movie because it's a belief shift in action. And all it was her belief. That then she reframed everything and her whole life changed because it's our beliefs. It's us doing it to ourselves.  As I become more confident within myself, as I become more comfortable in the skin and living the life of Peter Pamela Rose, which is the only one I have the choice to live in, I find that people are drawn to me. And it's so interesting and I so strongly believe that I always talk about chiropractor for the mind being about emotional self sufficiency that we understand how we tick, how we operate and everything that's just exactly what we just say it in different ways.  And that's why I wanted to have you on because maybe the way you say it makes more sense to someone than the way I say it, and maybe the way you say it of the way I say it makes more sense than the way you say it. And that's how it all expands, so freaking brilliant.  And anyway, but this idea that of being, emotionally self sufficient. Oh my gosh, then we don't have to be so frightened of ourselves. Or anything. People feel that. They feel they want to be around you. They feel the safety in that. They can't explain what it is. Yeah. They're just drawn to it. And not only are you then the ripple and the inspiration, but you're living your best life at the same time. You're feeling this fulfillment and satisfaction, which then magnifies you even more, I just imagine going around, we get to go around the world that way. We get to be the ripple wherever we go. And this is bigger than just, us taking our careers to the next level. This is us rippling out into the world, into the store that we go on, wherever it is that we go, we bring that morphic field with us, wherever we go. And we shift the reality, not just for us, but for the whole world.

Comment récupérer efficacement de sa séance de sport. Surtout quand on veut faire du sport et courir tous les jours ? C'est la question qui m'a été posé cette semaine. Allez c'est parti !Cette semaine je réponds à la question de Jérôme :« Salut Bertrand je suis perdu dans ma récupération j'essaie de compléter mes anneaux santé de ma IWatch tout les jours sans récupération. Ça fout la pression. Je cours 5 km tous les jours avec 1 ou deux 10 km dans la semaine. Peux-tu nous faire un podcast sur la récupération merci Bertrand. »Cette question m'est régulièrement posée comme je cours tous les jours et qui m'a encore été plus posée avec ma préparation Gravelman car je doublais les doses.

D'Lisa Michelle Kelley, 24, walked out of her grandmother's home in Dallas, Texas on March 7, 2014 around 4:30pm to attend a friend's wake. A little after 6:00pm, D'Lisa's sister received an inadvertent phone call indicating D'Lisa was in trouble.   D'Lisa could be heard screaming “Stop! Stop! Get off me!”. A man was also heard saying “Shut up! Stop screaming! You want to be hardheaded!”. The body of D'Lisa Kelley was found in an abandoned house, on Presidio Ave in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, on March 14, 2014. She had been beaten and strangled.   D'Lisa was the mother of a young son and 8 weeks pregnant with her second child at the time of her murder. Her family continues to seek justice and answers in her death and has pushed to create a “Kelley Alert”, similar to the Amber Alert for children and the Silver Alert for seniors, that would be used to help find adults who are known to be in imminent danger. Family and friends use social media like Facebook, Justice for D'Lisa Kelley, and hashtags, ‪#‎JusticeForDlisaKelley ‪#‎KelleyAlert to spread awareness about her unsolved murder.   If you have any information on the 2014 murder of D'Lisa Kelley, please call the Dallas Police Department Homicide Unit at (214) 671-3661 or submit your information via iWatch. To remain anonymous, an possibly be eligible for a reward, call the North Texas Crime Stoppers at (877) 373-TIPS.

Andrea Dalzell is a phenomenal and passionate Registered Nurse, a highly active Healthcare Advocate, Disability Rights Influencer, and most importantly, a strong Survivor!Andrea Dalzell was born and raised in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn, New York. At the early age of five, Andrea was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, an inflammation of the spinal cord that causes pain, muscle weakness and paralysis. She was using a wheelchair full-time by age 12. Although this diagnosis was very critical, Andrea let absolutely nothing get in the way of being all that she could be.Andrea received her degree from the City University of New York, College of Staten Island, however, due to societal flaws, life after graduation for Andrea was only the beginning of a long disappointing journey of trying to convince hospital staff that she could handle the job duties of being a nurse in a wheelchair. Andrea was crowned Ms. Wheelchair New York 2015, and utilized her title and platform: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Access, to promote her message and belief that people with disabilities can live a fulfilling life.While diligently trying to secure a position in a hospital, Dalzell worked as the health director, case manager, and an in-school nurse to make ends meet, however, she continued to interview in pursuit of her goal of becoming a Registered Nurse.After 76 interviews, Andrea Dalzell was finally given the opportunity to prove herself and was hired as the first Registered Nurse in a wheelchair in New York state.As the first registered nurse in a wheelchair in New York state; these days Andrea Dalzell is still getting lots of attention for her role tending to coronavirus patients in New York City, the epicenter of the pandemic. Ms. Dalzell has been ultimately respected most for her influence and healthcare advocacy for the rights of those with disabilities throughout her journey. As an advocate and activist, she's has been recognized in the spotlight over the years including being named New Mobility's Person of the Year (2021), Craig H. Neilsen Visionary Prize Winner, an ambassadorship with Urbane Scrubs, and features in United Spinal, HomeCare Magazine, Apple's iWatch campaign, The Mighty/Yahoo, Forbes and also Nurse Blake.For more from Andrea, get in touch via: Her website: https://www.theseatednurse.com/Social Media: @theseatednurse --This episode of Breaking Brave is brought to you by:SOULSNACKS!

[00:00:00]  Welcome to the Successful Life Podcast. I am your host Corey Berrier. And I am here with my man Eric Oberambt.  [00:00:16] dang week. You did. Dang, it. It's Oberambt. Dang, it. Yeah. I think I practiced that. Like it's the twang. You can't get it with the twang, . Cause you have to pronounce and you just, you can't do that with, you can't do that with the accent. We got a little southern accent down here. [00:00:36] Yeah, that's okay. That's all right. . What's up brother? I've been super excited to talk to you, dude. You and I are about to have a really great conversation, but first, Introduce yourself. Tell every, tell everybody about you, who you are. Yeah. I'm, yeah. I'm EricI I've got a little sizzle reel and it starts in the beginning it says, I do a lot of things, but the thing I'm, which is true, I do a lot of things. [00:00:59] And it's funny cuz like at the beginning of our conversation it's what do you actually fucking do, Eric? And it's that's a really good question. So I've been in the roofing space since I was 10 years old. My grandfather started our roofing company back in 1965 and I started working with him when I was a little kid. [00:01:13] Cause I lived with him since I was seven. So I literally, since I was 10, was up on roofs and graduated through. Building roofs and putting roofs on to sales to eventual ownership. And then learning how to scale the business. That's my main source of income. [00:01:27] That's how I pay for shit. But what I found out in the last 4, 5, 6 years is that I really have a passion for other things as far as being in the recovery space, obviously is one of 'em. Being the co-founder of Roofers in Recovery with Paul Reed and being able to help people find out who they were actually supposed to be and that they don't have to still live and be that piece of shit that they think that they are, on a daily basis. [00:01:51] And so I get, I'm really passionate about that and I'm really passionate about talking about leadership. I've been given some really cool opportunities in the last few years to be able to speak and be on stage and be able to take the messages that I built and shared on a micro level inside of my company. [00:02:09] And I realized, I was like, this is awesome, but how much cooler would it be to be able to share these same things on a macro level with other people? And so being able to get on stages and to be able to do podcasts with people like you and then start our own [00:02:26] podcast with being authentic or get the fuck out, that has been probably one of the most rewarding things that I do. [00:02:31] I'm a business owner. I'm a real estate guy. I'm a fucking podcast host. I'm a former drunk, I'm a coke addict. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm all those fucking things. But I'm also just Eric Obra and a dad and a husband. Yeah. It's a lot of stuff. I get that. But one thing you said that I thought was interesting, so you're actually like a true roofer in the roofing space. [00:02:54] You're like, I don't know if I've met too many people that have grown up in the roofing. No, there are only a couple of us left. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. That's really cool. That's why me and Paul I think, hit it off too. Like we, we figured out that we both were sober, but we also figured out that we both actually roofed back in the day. [00:03:15] And I think that I thought at one time that was just what I was going to be. I was just gonna be this labor guy. Like I loved working, right? I loved getting up in the morning at 5:00 AM and going to work and building something, and at the end of the day, being able to go home and go, look what I did. [00:03:33] Look what I did right there. And that was very satisfying. Now, as you get older and you start to break down, and you're not 1925 anymore, you can't do that. And you especially can't do it hungover if you're still drinking. You have to figure out a different path. [00:03:49] And that was what led me into, obviously sales and trying to get out of, but I roof roofed like I was up on roofs until I was 30. Wow. Yeah. And then that was when I got sober. And so maybe getting sober made me realize it was fucking stupid to continue doing that because it killed me and I'd probably be dead. [00:04:08] But that was like, I literally didn't get off of roofs until I was about 30 years old. So what changed at 30? So let's just get into, walk me through what happened at 30 years old that made you one-stop drinking, and two quit your, shift gears, so to speak. Yeah, absolutely. So I had always drank, and I drank a lot, and I started young, like a lot of people that kind of have the same story. [00:04:32] I had my first drink of alcohol in like seventh grade, right? Yes. I remember stealing my buddy's parents' booze and drinking in his bedroom and, you mix it with fucking in a two-liter bottle of Sprite or whatever it is, right? But I remember that even that first time that I drank so much, [00:04:52] so fast. [00:04:52] I threw up in a corner and I fell in it, and I slept in that pile of puke, right? Like the first fucking time that I drank. That was obviously the precursor. But I always drank. I have the same boring stories, like everybody's wild in college and, whatever. And I went to the Uni University of Nebraska in Lincoln, and I partied balls down there and everything else. [00:05:17] But, I also was I'm, I was married twice. And I'm on my third marriage, and every marriage, every relationship that I had always ended because of my drinking, generally speaking. And, but at the time I would always say, I'm fucking 19, or I'm 20, or I'm 25. That's what we're supposed to do in that timeframe, right? [00:05:39] That's just normal. And I got a couple of DUIs. I got my first DUI when I was 19. I got my second DUI when I was 23 which was after my first divorce. I got my third DUI when I was 20. Six or 27, which was after my second divorce. It's always a woman. It's always a fucking woman that like, like spirals, you outta control because your identity is with that relationship. And then once that identity's gone, you don't know what the fuck you are or where you're gonna go, right? So you spiral outta control. And so I got my third DUI then, and I finally got out of that. But it was 2008 when I really thought that my, I thought that my life was pretty much over. [00:06:30] I was almost 30 years old. I was twice divorced. I had no kids, I had no family to speak of. I had immediate family, but I had no, no prospects, right? I was 310 pounds. I was a big fat person. Did you watch my keynote at Roof Con? Yeah. That picture that was up on the screen was me. [00:06:51] I clearly forgot the picture. The big, fat, bloated Eric. I was 300. I do remember that. I standing in the kitchen. Yep. Yep. There's a big plate of Coke underneath me. Nobody could see. That was my 30th birthday. And I, but I remember, I was like, there was I had nowhere to go and I had no prospects and I didn't know what life even was gonna look like, and so I got to a point where I just didn't give a fuck anymore. [00:07:16] And it was like, so every [00:07:18] day was the same. It was drunk do coke so I could stay awake I could drink more and stay up later. Because what I found out was if you drink as hard and as fast as I do, you pass out really early. And if you pass out really early, There's no chance for sex. . I swear to God, that was what went through my head and I was like, how can I fix that cocaine? [00:07:45] Yep. And so like I literally, that was why I found drugs and cocaine and I got heavily into that and started selling. And I got popped for my fourth DUI in October or September of 2009. And when that happened, it was the last, it was the last straw because I was able to get out of every situation that I got put into prior. [00:08:10] I never really had any consequences. I always had a good lawyer that got it dropped down to something else, but this time all cards were on the table. They were enhancing everything. I was looking at one to five years in prison. I narrowly dodged drug charges because I had all kinds of drugs on me. [00:08:29] I narrowly dodged drug charges. But just for the DUIs, for the fourth offense, felony DUI that I was looking at, I was looking at one to five years in prison. And even looking at that, I still didn't wanna stop. I still didn't think that I was ready to stop. I still thought that I could control it and that I could figure it out. [00:08:54] And my attorney came to me and said, here's the deal. You're gonna get one to five in prison. The only chance that you get out of that is if you go do 30 days in a rehab facility. Because if you do that and we show the judge that you did that, then maybe they'll show leniency on you. And I was like I can do fucking math. [00:09:14] And 30 days in rehab is significantly less than one to five years in prison. And let's be honest, big fat Coke head, Eric White guy wasn't gonna do well in prison. Like I, I wasn't gonna fit in. So I went to treatment and I went to a place called Valley Hope in O'Neill, Nebraska in the middle of the fucking sticks. [00:09:35] And I went there. I was there for 30 days and I didn't really participate for the first 10 to 12. [00:09:44] I checked out. I just showed up. I went through the motions and I've told this story a million times, but I don't think I told it on stage. But I was literally sitting in the lecture hall, right? [00:09:55] I was sitting in the lecture hall and somebody was lecturing, and it was November. It was cold as balls, fucking snowing. And I remember looking at the window and up there they had all these plates and mugs and shit on the wall. So like the people that graduated or whatever, you get a cup, right? And then you come back and you hang your cup up. [00:10:14] And I look around and I'm looking at all these plates and these mugs on the wall, and I look out the window and I audibly go, holy fuck, I'm in rehab. [00:10:26] And everybody stopped what they were doing. What's wrong with crazy over here? he's just talking out loud. And I was like, whoa. And I just had this like influx of, okay dude, normal people don't have to go to fucking rehab. If you had your shit together, you wouldn't be living in a facility where they're trying to teach you what the fuck is wrong with you. [00:10:50] Maybe you should shut the fuck up and listen . And from that point on, I said, I'm willing to do what you tell me to do because I don't wanna live like this anymore. I don't want to be the person that has to go to rehab. I don't want that to be how I'm defined. And from that moment on, I made a decision that I was going to figure out how to be better and I was going to listen to people that had done it before me. [00:11:19] So that I could learn from their experience. And that's how I got here. And I did have one relapse, but it was only for a night. But I've been sober. I've been sober ever since. It's interesting because, we, by the way, it was fantastic. One of the things that you said, in particular, is you mentioned that the 13th day or 12th day, whatever day it was Right? [00:11:45] The light came on and I lost what I was gonna say. I'm gonna have to cut this part out, so give you a second. Fuck. I hate when I do that. Adhd It happened. Yeah. Or I may just leave it in. Who knows? Anyhow, I don't remember exactly what I was gonna say. Oh, it was okay. It was being told what to do. [00:12:03] It's being able to ask some, another, I'll just say from a man's standpoint, I can't really speak from a woman's [00:12:10] standpoint, but from a man's standpoint, it's really hard to ask somebody for that help. One, and then two, it's really hard to listen and not think you know everything. Right? [00:12:22] And we're going get into that in just a few minutes. But I think that what keeps a lot of people out is that it was my ego. It's all fucking ego. It's all ego. It's all ego and recovery. And AA does a really cool thing though. They trick you, but they say these are suggestions, right? [00:12:41] And they do. Everything you read in the big book is a suggestion, right? Nobody's ordering you to do it. Because what do addicts and alcoholics, what do we hate? We hate being fucking told what to do. Hundred percent. We rebel at being told what to do. I can accept a suggestion, but the best sponsors out there go, yeah, it's a suggestion, but if you don't do it, you're gonna fucking drink. [00:13:05] Yep. So it's completely up to you whether or not you do it, but this is, if you do these things, then it can work. Then you can see the miracle that can happen for you, right? But if you don't do 'em, then it probably won't. Does that make sense? Do More than that I'll tell you why it really makes sense and why this is probably important that we're talking about this right now. [00:13:32] You and I had a conversation, I don't know, it was probably less than 10 days ago. Yep. And I shared with you my feeling about AA because, I got sober in AA and for a long time, AA did what it was supposed to do for me. And I just got caught up. My ego, I'm just, this is pretty new information. [00:13:53] My ego goes, got caught up. The language and I meant, you and I talked about this off camera a little bit or previously, and I got caught up in the language. And when you explained to me, you reframed the way I was thinking and not in a, it wasn't even in a forceful way or anything like that. [00:14:11] What I'm saying is, you just made me think about something different. This is where I'm going with this. So today was my third meeting and I picked up a spoon, and I don't tell say all that too, for a pat on the back. I say that because I figured out what I've been missing and this is really important because the spiritual portion is the portion that I've been missing. [00:14:34] I meditate every day. , but I don't, [00:14:36] my ego says do you really have to say God or do you really have to, can't you just think it? No, dude. That's just not how it works. So I've been missing the spiritual experience of this whole thing. Now I understand it because I've had it right. [00:14:54] I've been there. And I'm not sure, other than the language portion, what happened, or maybe it was just my own thinking is probably what happened. But I didn't go to AA for almost six years I would, there's no telling how many people I could have helped in the last six years no telling where I'd be today if those things, would've happened. [00:15:18] But the most important thing is that now I understand and I guess the point of this is the spiritual portion of not just not drinking. We hear this all the time. Just don't drink. That is part of it. You, of course, can't drink, right? You just don't drink. The other side of that is you gotta work the program. [00:15:35] So what I'll say about that is that people that are in the depths of it right now will disagree with this because they're in the depths of it. Quitting drinking is the fucking easy part. Yeah. Living after and learning how to do that while being happy, that's the hard part. That's why there is a program, and that's why there are 12 steps to teach you how to live. [00:16:08] The steps are not to teach you how to not drink. The steps of AA are to teach you how to live because to not drink, all you gotta do is not pick up. Because the only thing that I can control as, an alcoholic and an addict, the only thing that I can actually control is whether or not I pick up the first drink. [00:16:28] So as long as I don't do that, I won't have the 10th. And I know that right? And it's the only thing I can control. The minute I have one though, I lose all control. Because I am built. I truly believe that I am built differently. Whether it's structural, it's part of my DNA. I am absolutely fucking built differently. [00:16:46] And when a drink hits my body, it reacts differently than normal motherfuckers that can have one drink sit at a bar, and go No more for me. Thanks. And actually fucking mean it. If I say no more for me. Thanks. Inside, I'm going, I fucking want one more, but I know I'm not [00:17:02] supposed to, right? That's the difference. [00:17:04] And I know that my body reacts differently. So my first line of defense is just that I can't fucking have that first one right now. Then there you have two options. After that, your two options are, one, I can just not drink and be a miserable fucking dry drunk prick. Afterward. And we all know those people, right? [00:17:26] And they say, I don't go to fucking meetings. I don't do this. I don't help people. I just don't fucking drink. It's yes, and you're a miserable cocksucker, right? Yeah. But the people that don't drink anymore, because it just doesn't fucking work for them. And then they work a program that I think everybody in fucking Human society should actually work the program because it teaches you how to live as a better person and as a better human so that you can have these spiritual experiences that you're talking about so that you can have, these spiritual awakenings and the term that I love that really resonates with me, that's in the big book is a psychic change. [00:18:04] Yes. You have a psychic change because I am not that fucking person anymore. And this is what you and I were getting into, right? Is that you're not that person anymore, but. But it's still fucking in you. So if you take that drink, it doesn't go away. , right? It doesn't go away. So whether you identify as an alcoholic or an addict or whatever makes no fucking difference. [00:18:31] But it's still in your fucking DNA. And I think that you believe that. I believe that there'll be people that listen to this, that go Fuck you. I don't believe that. But I a hundred percent believe that. So now I need to understand if I made that psychic change, and I'm not that person anymore, now what am I doing right now? [00:18:50] What am I doing with my life? Am I writing wrongs? Am I making amends and making apologies? Am I taking an inventory of what I did in the right order? In the right order? Correct. Did I, am I taking an inventory of my life and the people that I've harmed, and there a lot of people have talked about this when they relate it to business, right? [00:19:10] What do you do in fucking business every year when you get to the end of a year, end of a quarter, or end of whatever, you go back and you take an inventory on everything that you did for that previous quarter, and what did you fucking do wrong so that you can fix it and make the next quarter or the next year better. [00:19:27] We have to do that as [00:19:28] humans. It doesn't matter if you're a drunk or if you're an addict or if you're sober or if you're, whatever you are, you should be taking a goddamn inventory all the time. That's hard. But we here're the cool thing for us. We, as addicts and alcoholics have been given this program that teaches us how to do that. [00:19:45] Yes. And everybody else thinks that they don't need it. So then, you know what people did, they packaged. Like the fucking 12 steps of AA and put it into personal growth and development. Sell it for fucking $20,000. Wow, I didn't think about that. Yeah, that's what they do. You can get it for fucking free by going to aa. [00:20:06] Yeah, we get it for free cuz we're drunks and we're addicts. Every retreat that I go to and they do exercise, I'm like, you fucker, you're doing the four-step like, like I've done all this shit, you just repackage it and you charge me 20 grand for it. Yeah. But all these other people then get access to it and then all of a sudden they have this psychic change because they're not the same individual. [00:20:27] They're figuring out how to grow and learn and have this trajectory and path where they get to be better. Like how fucking exciting is that? That's awesome. It is awesome. Without a shit ton of pain, I don't know. I know for me, I wouldn't have gotten there. I have no way. I would've made that change. [00:20:43] No way. And. Yeah, I agree with you a hundred percent without pain. That is absolutely true for you and I, yes, for you and I, for you and I, that is a hundred percent true, but there are hundreds of thousands of people that can watch this, that don't have to go through what we went through to be able to take certain steps, to be able to come, to be able to become that person that they were supposed to be. [00:21:13] They don't have to go through that because they're not wired like we are. Right? And good for you, but because they're not wired like we are. They're not gonna have that Oh shit moment. They're not gonna have that bottom necessarily to be able to trigger what do I have to do? We had to have that pain. [00:21:34] I'm the guy that has to be hit over the head 85 fucking times with a hammer before I go, oh, it hurts when you hit yourself in the head with a hammer, . Yeah. But it takes that many times. And some people are that way. A lot of us are that way. Not everybody. Takes what it takes. But it's great. [00:21:50] I go on tangents, I apologize. No, but it's great. No, this is [00:21:54] great because we're just bringing it full circle around everything that we've been talking about sobriety and just to bring it back to the spiritual portion. You're right. And when I was speaking earlier, I'm glad you mentioned that you're new. [00:22:05] The new person's not gonna understand what I was saying before, so that was really great. I'm glad you said that. Because it's super important. You never know whose life this conversation could change. And I think that's one of the things that you pointed out to me, you said, I don't know if you said it's your responsibility, but I feel like it's my responsibility because duty. [00:22:25] It's your duty. It is my duty. I've been avoiding that. And that's now I'm gonna, now I'm gonna fuck with you though. You should. Okay. Now I'm gonna fuck with you because you have made this amazing decision that you need to give back and you need to help others that have been through what you've been through, right? [00:22:44] Yes. The next thing you need to do, which is actually in a backwards order, but it's the next thing that that you need to do as well. Because I have to do it all the time. I have to have somebody that I'm accountable to as well. If I knew that was. I have to have somebody, and it doesn't have to be a sponsor, it doesn't have to be whatever, but you have to have somebody that you're accountable to because if you are helping somebody else and giving advice, they're going to put you in a spot at some moment in time that you don't know the fucking answer to their question, and it'll be disingenuous for you to make some shit up like we do as sales people to make it sound like, you know what the fuck you're talking about, to get 'em through something when maybe it's not really good advice because you can't relate or you can't, like you haven't been through it. But when we have other people that are in the same or longer stage of what we've, been going through or doing the steps or whatever it is, to be able to have somebody to lean on for that's the difference, right? It's just like a coach having a coach, right? [00:23:40] All coaches have coach all the good ones, right? All the good coaches have coaches, and those guys have coaches. I bet you a million fucking dollars. Ed Millet has a coach. He's got probably 10. Correct. Yeah. So it's the same thing in sobriety. If you're helping and coaching somebody along to, to become that version of themselves, they're supposed to be, you better have somebody coaching you too, so that you continuously get better to be able to help those people. [00:24:07] It's the same thing as coaching. And I figured you you'd buy in with the coaching analogy, I e a coach, but you know what I'm saying? But it makes total sense. And so that's my next challenge to you is that down the road you figure out who that accountability partner is, to be able to have [00:24:20] those conversations with, to be like, man, I'm of fucking stuck here. [00:24:22] Billy's telling me some shit. I don't even know what I don't even know what he is talking about. You know what I mean? And it helps for sure. Sounds like you just picked up some accountability. Yeah. Fuck . I figured I fucking volunteered myself by bringing this up. Yeah. [00:24:37] Here's the thing, and I'll be honest with you. It's pretty ironic that you bring that up because. I literally had this realization today in that meeting. As I'm listening to people, I'm like, almost exact. Why does my camera keep going out? Exactly. You got that weird zumi thing that like follows you. [00:24:56] Yeah. I don't know what's going on. Yeah. Follows you. Stop moving. Alright. So I had that thought today in the meeting. I thought, I ha I have to have somebody that I'm accountable to because if not, I may not do this thing right. Correct. I can't not do it. I've already done that. [00:25:12] I'm not gonna not do it right again. And I shouldn't say not do it. I didn't do it. I didn't do the second part of the program. . You're right. Yeah. The entire 12 step. Yeah. Yeah, exactly just skipped over that. But the entire 12 step, that 12 step is what keeps us sober. [00:25:29] Yeah. And so we mentioned dry drunk earlier yeah. I've done a lot of, I've done a lot of cool things in this dry drunk period. Yep. But dang dude, I know for sure. I can't even fathom what could have happened. We're gonna find out, right? How much better could it have been? Exactly. So much better. [00:25:47] And I've already seen that. And look, I'm not saying that I'm going to AA because I get something, I do get something out of it. I get the pleasure of sharing and helping other people in the room. And I also get the ab have ability to, hear other people's stories and learn from those experiences as well. [00:26:05] So it's multifaceted. I, I wanna be clear, this is not a this is not like an intentional thing. The intention is to do the 12 step, and that's the only intention. Yep. Yep. I love it. It's very fulfilling and rewarding to me just to be able to have this conversation with you again, to see somebody like yourself that has went through all of it and has come out and is still succeeding, right? [00:26:33] You're fucking, you're winning, right? You're not winning in spite of, or despite of anything. Like you're fucking winning already. But then to see you have that light go on [00:26:46] to be like, I could fucking win so much more if I was doing this right. Which goes back to we can never stop learning. [00:26:55] We can never stop getting better, right? The minute, like guys like John Maxwell, what is he? 197 years old and he is still fucking sitting up on stage and talking about still learning. Yeah. I don't know. Like I want to think that I can be like that when I'm 197, but it's hard to fathom that at a certain age. [00:27:13] I just go, fuck it. That's all I got. That's all I can get, but to like, to have that consistent mentality that you always need to be learning and you always to be able to win more and not win things, right? Yeah. Not win material things, but to just to be better and to live. It goes back to how do we live, right? [00:27:30] I was listening to a podcast on my drive home last night from the airport, and it was all about, it was all about living. And this person had this near death experience and they had these moments kind of flash and whatever, and they were like, did I live right? And this gives us that opportunity to live so that we don't have these regrets of man, I could have helped so many fucking people and now my time's up. [00:27:52] That's sad. I don't want to have that. I don't want to have that feeling at the end of the day. I want my kid to be able to write a eulogy that's not only did my dad love me and help me with all these different things that we did, but the amount of people that he helped and helped save their lives and put families back together. [00:28:12] That's his legacy. And I don't know if you mentioned this, you may have mentioned it and I may have just missed it, but your dad, was he recovering alcoholic as well? No. So my dad, my parents got divorced when I was seven, and that was when we moved in with my grandparents. So my grandpa became my dad. [00:28:29] My dad for all intents and purposes is out of the picture. I'd reconnect every once in a while and I was like that was a bad idea. And then, go back and forth, whatever. I don't think I've seen him for a decade probably. Which, Part of that's on me and it's not good. But then the other part's on him, fuck you. [00:28:45] And he'll probably see this, I think he follows me. I, one day I literally saw like on my YouTube channel, it was like subscribed and I was like, oh fuck, God. I bet that was uncomfortable. It was a little uncomfortable. Yeah, it was. So and I'm sure like, obviously we'll take this and we'll post it, wherever. [00:29:02] And so I'm sure, like it'll get fucking seen. But my dad my, my dad wasn't really in the picture that much. My grandpa was my grandpa drank and he drank a pretty good amount. [00:29:12] He definitely had alcoholic tendencies for sure. And he's the one that taught me to drink, right? Like he's, I, he's the person I, I drank beer with him when I was 15 on Christmas, right? [00:29:22] And I remember one of the lessons he taught me, I'll never forget this. I tell this story all the time, but he used to drink this shitty old style classic gold. You remember that in the fucking gold cans. And it was old style, classic gold. I don't know how long they made it for, but it was fucking garbage. [00:29:39] But he would buy 20, 30 cases at a time and stack up next to the fridge so that he could just always have the fridge, full. And I remember one Christmas, I was like maybe 16, and that was like on Christmas Eve. It was always okay to have drinks with the family. And I remember going and getting an old style classic gold and drinking it. [00:29:58] And I went up to my grandpa and I said, grandpa, you, this is te, like you can't even sip this beer. And he looked at me and he said, Eric, beer ain't made for sipping. And I was like, mother fuck, he's right. And I don't know if that's what stuck with me or not. It could have I'm definitely not blaming grandpa, but That kind of stuck. [00:30:21] And it was like none of this shit's made for sipping, like in my mind it's made to get me fucked up. Yeah. You wanna be like your grandpa, right? You looked up to your grandpa just like I looked up to my grandpa. So maybe by default. Yeah. What you said, maybe that is Oh, there was definitely some in my family. [00:30:38] I know my dad's dad was definitely a fucking drunk and he died, he never got sober. Nobody in my family has ever gotten sober. But then on the other side of it, like my mom and my grandma on that side don't drink at all. Never have. That's so funny. My mom's side almost identical. Like my sister. [00:30:56] My sister doesn't drink, never has. Yeah. Like she's got other stuff that she deals with, but like never drank. She's wild to me. Yeah, it's wild to me because like they definitely do not fucking get me. They don't understand me. And none of them are entrepreneurs either. So except my grandpa. [00:31:12] And he wasn't really an entrepreneur, he was just, he owned a business, right? But but he understood like doing it your way and figuring out how to figure shit out so you can make money, right? Cause I'm like what are we gonna do? I'm like, we don't have any money to go to the track. [00:31:26] And he goes, I'll figure it out. I'll go find some money. I'm like, the fuck do you mean you'll go find some money? And he is ah, I'll go find it. I'll go sell a couple reco jobs and we'll pick up a thousand bucks and we'll go to the track and go gamble. I'm like, okay. And he just always figured it [00:31:38] out. [00:31:38] But the rest of my family's no, you have to go to work at nine o'clock and then you work until five and then you get a 401k, and then when you're 65, you'll have $80,000 a year to live on. And maybe they'll give you a watch or an iPad and say, thank you so much for that. And it's fuck, I'll go buy my own fucking iPad. [00:31:57] You know what I mean? Like that. But that's but that's how a lot of people are. And I'm not shitting on it. Sure. I'm not shitting on it because we, the world needs those people too. It just isn't. It just isn't me and I don't understand it. And then they look at me and go, dude, you're fucking crazy. [00:32:12] Like you just did what? You just went and invested that much money that you don't even fucking have to try and do that thing. I invest other people's money that I don't fucking have all the goddamn time to try and figure some shit out. Yeah. Look, but it's, and your majority of people honestly are not like you and me. [00:32:30] If I had to guess. Most thank God. Thank God. Really? Yeah. Cause we'd have, it would be, it'd be a crazy world, but, and you're right, we do need those people. But when you're describing that and you're walking to me through that just now, like I just don bound up inside. Like I just cringes me to think that I would have to do anything from nine to five or better. [00:32:50] Yeah. For anybody tell me I gotta do anything between nine and five every day. Like I just, oh. But as business owners, We've all had that moment where we've went, man, I could really go for a job right now. Yeah, the hell with all this worry and strength. It's a lot. It's a lot more than people think. [00:33:10] Yeah. We all have that fleeting moment though. It'll usually only last a day or whatever it is. But we all have that moment. Paul and I talk about it. I'm like, how many times a week do you just wanna burn the whole motherfucker down? Dude, , right? Yes. We don't, and that's the difference between us and others, is that we don't, and we change our mindset and everything's cool, but if we're actually being honest, because most people aren't and they fucking lie and they pretend that everything's golden and fucking unicorns and rainbows. [00:33:38] But as entrepreneurs and business owners, we all have moments where we're like, do I know what the fuck I'm doing? Do I actually have a clue what the fuck I'm doing? Like I'm just gonna burn this whole goddamn thing down and go figure something out and work for somebody else. And then it flips. [00:33:53] And we're like no. Like of course I know what I'm doing, right? Like I, I've got this, whatever. And we trudge forward. And that's the difference between, I think that's the difference between successful people and non [00:34:04] successful people, is that the non successful people listen to that voice. [00:34:08] Yes. And the successful people don't. And they say, fuck you other guy. I'm going, right? I think that's, I think that's the difference, right? And I've failed at that. But I've succeeded at that too. It's the decision, right? At the end of the day, you just have to make the right decision, or I say the right decision. [00:34:27] You just have to make a decision. And lots of times that's where we get stuck, right? We will be pinging all over the place in our brains about all the million things that we've got going on. And it's that's when I wanna burn it down. I'm like, I wanna shut down. And I do, I wanna just burn it to the ground because. [00:34:41] And part of that, as has been because I haven't been treating the other part. So we still get that, whether you're treating it or not. I just get it a little bit. I've been having it a little bit more often. Yep. And that's part of the reason I don't like having those thoughts. [00:34:53] I don't like having the, I wanna burn it to the ground thoughts, the, and the other way that we keep from keeping those thoughts in our mind though. And again, I know that a lot of this shit is like redundant and a lot of people talk about it on different po and maybe it's just because you and I are doing so much personal development and growth and stuff. [00:35:10] Like we hear these things all the time, so we just assume other people are hearing them, but maybe they're really not. You know what I mean? Probably not actually. But I, yeah. But I think that one of the ways that we keep those thoughts from staying inside of our head is that it goes back to who we're surrounding ourselves with, right? [00:35:26] And if we're surrounding ourselves with people that don't fucking quit, Then we're not gonna fucking quit. I'll give you an example. My buddy Paul, who's literally my, one of my best friends, he decided that he was gonna go start this other business, right? He was gonna go start this other business in this other state. [00:35:50] I moved to Texas and say, absolutely not. I am not starting another roofing company down here. I don't have any desire to have another goddamn roofing company. I've got enough fucking problems with the one that I have. It's enough of a pain in my ass. I don't want that. I wanna focus on, working with guys like you and doing shows and blah, blah, blah. [00:36:07] That's what I want to do. Sure, shit. He goes and does that, and I go, what kind of a fucking idiot are you? You're being a pussy because you know that the thing that you are absolutely the best at is building a business, building people around you. And building a roofing company you've been doing since you're fucking 10, now you're in [00:36:30] Texas, you've got connections coming outta your ass. [00:36:32] You can literally have work thrown your fucking way, but you're being too big of a pussy to do it and to set it up. And because my best friend said, just went and fucking did it, I went, fuck you. I'm doing it too. So I literally incorporated a business while taking a shit on the toilet, because you can do that on Legal Zoom, right? [00:36:55] I literally, just to hold myself accountable, I got on legal Zoom in the toilet and incorporated, came up with my business name, did the whole thing, registered it, and in a week had my EIN number and everything sitting on the table. I'm getting space, I'm interviewing people tomorrow, and I'm starting this motherfucker up, right? [00:37:15] So I'm continuing to go forward because of the people around me, because they push me to make sure that I'm not holding back. And not reaching my potential, and that my friend is vitally important. Vital, it's such a big deal and everybody talks about it. And one thing that I'll say is there's people listening that say, that is easier fucking said than done Eric. [00:37:45] I wanna surround myself with these people, but they don't want to be around me. It goes back to if I want to spend time, with like high level, like I wanna spend time with an ed, my letter, I wanna spend time with an Andy for seller. I wanna spend time with a Sean Whelan or whoever, right? [00:37:59] Like just making her names. But what value do I fucking bring to these people? Like why the fuck, why would they let me in a circle? Of theirs. They wouldn't, like why there's no reason on the surface that they would, so I came home from a retreat about five years ago, and I had to write down everybody that I interacted with on a daily basis. [00:38:21] Okay. I had to write down every person that I interacted with on a daily, weekly, monthly basis, whether it's personal work like social groups, whatever it is. Every single person. Then I had to assign them a number. If they were below me at my level or above. Yeah. So the first part is of tough because like you don't wanna share that list, right? [00:38:47] Because your people on it and they're below you, or you think that they are right, but you count those numbers up, you count [00:38:56] those numbers up. And if I had, let's say 20 people on that list, everybody on that list was at or below my level of what I saw as my level say, quote unquote, right? [00:39:13] But I had people on the list, then I had to write the list of who's above that I want to spend more time with, right? And I picked out like those business owners or those people that have done more than me and that I wanted to learn from. And that's where you start. You don't start by going, I want to fucking be an Andy Fela circle, right? [00:39:37] You start by figuring out who's that business owner in your community that you can surround yourself with that knows way fucking more than you. And you start there and you say, I don't want anything from you. I'd love to provide you some value. If there's anything that I can do from you, I'd love to be able to learn from you. [00:39:56] And that's how you start. Because people love to help. And if you ask them to help because you wanna learn and you can maybe provide them something down the road, right? In value in reciprocating, in, in being a friend. Right now, all of a sudden, over the course of five years, I've went, right? And now I'm like, One, two degrees removed from an ED Mylet. [00:40:24] That's right. Does that make sense? You know what I mean? Yeah. So so for people listening, don't be intimidated and think that you need to go from here to fucking up here. You're not going to, you're delusional if that's what you think you're going to do, understand that. There's so many people in your community right now that are fucking right here and you're not. [00:40:43] So figure out who those people are and talk to them. Ask them if you can go to lunch, not to sell them something, but to ask them some questions and learn from them. And once they see that you're genuine and they, and that you're just, you're wanting to learn and be better, guess what they're gonna do? [00:41:00] They're gonna introduce you to the person that they're learning from up here. Yeah. And then you get to keep going. And that's what's fun. That's the journey. And that's how you get to those higher levels, right? Like I'm still working on it. Yeah. A hundred percent. And you don't wanna be at those high levels when you're not prepared. [00:41:18] What'll happen, right? You're looking like a fucking [00:41:22] asshole. Absolutely. And completely destroy any future possibilities that you may have. And you shouldn't be in those rooms until you're ready to be in those rooms. A hundred percent. Because they'll know if you're not supposed to be in that room. [00:41:32] Like it's relat obvious, right? Blatantly. We, you and I got to see a lot of that not to people on stage. We had a few people drop by our table. Yeah. . Absolutely. It's a pretty crazy conversations and Correct. You just know when somebody's talking about something that they don't know what they're talking about. [00:41:52] They don't know what they're talking about. But at the same moment, you and I both gave them fucking props internally in our head for the. Absolutely . And there was no judgment. Dude I'm, we're talking to you and me, but at the time there's zero judgment cuz we've been there. Yep. [00:42:09] We've been that guy at some point. We've been that guy. And so I know what that, what we also knew is what you were just alluding to was that when we started talking it was completely different. Oh absolutely. Yeah. It was totally different. Yeah. But you just know it. Yeah, you do. You just know it. [00:42:29] And if you're supposed to be in those rooms, but it doesn't mean don't stop fucking trying to be in those rooms. Incrementally. Get into those rooms, spend popular, unpopular opinion, don't give a fuck. Spend money to get into fucking rooms to learn. Yep. Spend money to get into rooms, to learn from people. [00:42:53] Because guess what? It's like going to the hotel has free breakfast and that's why you go to the hotel. Cause it has free breakfast. You wanna be hanging out with the other people that want free breakfast. So you gotta pay your way into these circles. And I like it or not, it is what it is. If you want to get around the big boys, you gotta pay to play sometimes. [00:43:10] And it is what it is. Until you can gain enough influence to be invited into these circles, you gotta pay to play. Yep. Yep. It seems gross in the beginning though. A little bit. It does. It, it made me feel very gross in the beginning because there was a joke in the beginning, like when I first became friends with Sam. [00:43:30] , me and Steve and Richard would joke and be like, man, you're my most expensive fucking friend. But here's what happened. I did that. It gave me an opportunity to connect with somebody. And now we are just actually friends. That's the difference. And it happened organically. [00:43:48] Yes. I paid to get into a sphere, right? [00:43:54] Yeah. But I didn't. But I, you can't pay to actually be somebody's friend. That's right. But here's, I wanna give everybody a quick tip too. So if there's somebody, let's just take Sam for example, right? Sam's fairly influential guy. If you wanna get around somebody like Sam, here's how you do it. Follow him online, comment on his posts. [00:44:15] Make sure he see you Don't even have, you don't even have to do, he doesn't have to know you, but he can get to know you if you start showing up, right? If you start showing up, like at meetings, start showing up and sharing people, get to know your name, guess what, it's magic. Same thing online, right? Yeah, a hundred percent. [00:44:33] Absolutely. And I'll be honest, I'm bad at that. I am too. I'm really bad. I'm really bad at that because I still have the I'll still have that. Are people judging what I'm saying? Moment. You know what, I gotta take that back. I actually don't, I actually do a great job with this at this point. I actually do a good job with this cuz I figure out who it is now. [00:44:57] Yeah. Now, but I have a system, I figure out who it is I want to do business with or whatever it is. Or maybe it's just somebody I just wanna be close to because like we're talking about, right? You gotta pour into those people. And I'll tell you one thing that the biggest mistake I think people make when they're talking to somebody that's influential is they ask them, how can I add value to your life? [00:45:21] So essentially what you're doing when you ask me that question is, you're making me think about how you can help me. Yeah. That's convenient for me. Absolutely not. And don't get a job. . Don't ask me how you can help me. You tell me how you can help me. Yeah. A hundred percent. No, I agree. [00:45:38] Yeah, a hundred percent. I agree with that. Yeah. You figure that out. You figure out what conversations bring value to them, right? And that's not, it's not easy. Nobody's saying that's easy, right? And it's not gonna be with everybody, right? Because you have to find your circle. That's it. Just because you want to be friends with Sam, or you want to be friends with Ed, or you want to be friends with whoever it is, doesn't mean that you should be right. Guess what? It may not even know that person. It might be somebody else that has the same stature that you're looking for, but you're [00:46:14] able to connect with them on a different level because of shared experiences. [00:46:18] I'm gonna take this a step further. I think that part is more valuable. Then being close. Okay, so here's an example. I've been into both of the other groups that worked. I've been in both of those groups. And the truth of the matter is [00:46:34] the chances of me being more successful talking to my local people than it would be for me to try to spout out a bunch of stuff in that group and expect to have to get closer to Ed Mylet. I'm better off getting closer to somebody that actually, knows who I am and wants to actually do business with me, or whatever the case may be, whatever it is there. [00:46:55] Ultimately, it all comes down to business, these groups. Does that make sense? It does. So now my reasons are different in this conversation about like those people, right? So my goal and just to be fair on every single podcast I do, whether it's mine or somebody else's, I throw this shit out into the universe because someone's gonna fucking see it, right? [00:47:18] Yep. So the reason that like I want to be able to have a conversation with an ed is not because I want to do business with him. It's not because I necessarily want anything from him. It's because we're filming the Roofers and Recovery documentary, and that documentary is going to help possibly thousands and thousands of people. [00:47:43] And I want Ed to tell the story about his dad on the documentary to give it more of opportunity to reach more and more people. So I'm literally, every conversation I have with people is, if you've got an in, I wanna send a trailer. Because the ask is, we want you to be able to help other people. [00:48:02] I don't want anything from you. I don't wanna be on your show. I wanna be on your show, but I don't wanna be on your show. I'm not asking you to be on my show. I want you to, I'm probably gonna make that happen for you. I want you to help facilitate this, right? That's the, I can make that happen for you. [00:48:15] I can make that happen for you. I don't know how quickly, but I can make it happen. Here's the other thing, dude. I sat in this chair exactly where I'm sitting right now, and I have never cried that hard. I don't know about ever, I cried so hard listening to that cause I told you I was in RTE and. Told that story to our group and I sat here and I baed my eyes out. [00:48:39] Yeah. When he told that [00:48:40] story. I understand exactly why you want to, when I heard it, and I bawled my fucking eyes out was at Roof Con last year. So that was one of the first times I think that he told the story publicly was at Roof Con last year. And I was sitting fucking up and it was me and Paul and like a few other people, and thank God it was dark. [00:49:04] And I am sitting there like in public with people. At least you got to be in your chair, right? . And I was bawling and I was like, God damnit. I'm like, this can touch so many people. And obviously he's gotta reach with, normal people and like he doesn't, he's not about recovering and whatever. [00:49:20] But that story is so powerful in our space that it has to be fucking told. In our space at least once, so that I can get it out to millions of people to be able to hear it as well. Because a lot of people in our space, and by our space, recovery space, right? And people that are in the depths of addiction that aren't out of it yet. [00:49:45] They probably don't know who he is. It's really funny. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Because they're living in their world of drugs and alcohol and fucking whores and that's the world that they're living in. They're not living in the world of growth and development and the Ed Mylet of the world, right? [00:50:04] You go up to somebody and go, you know who Ed Mylet is? Who's fucking on a bender? Be like, what the, who are, what are you talking about? Is that the drug dealer? I don't know what you're saying. You know him, dude. So that's my thing because that's the value that I want to add to the world. [00:50:17] By being able to ask somebody that has influence to use that influence to help them not to help me. I'm not making money on this fucking documentary. I'm just shelling out tens of thousands of dollars to make it. Yeah, that make sense? Totally. Yeah, man, that would be, yeah, that'd be incredible. I, we could talk off air about how we could, anyway, so yeah. [00:50:37] That, dude, that would be, that'd be great if you could make Yeah, I, that'd be incredible. That story just, it's got me jammed up, dude, because it just ripped my, it ripped my heart out, ripped my heart out. Because it's so close to Yeah. It's close to us. It's close. Aa, right? [00:50:51] If you and it goes back to how we started this conversation. It goes back to this old man dying, wanted to help somebody in the last 15 minutes of his. And that's [00:51:06] how he'll be remembered. Yeah. Or you could be remembered as I got what I needed from you. Thanks. See you later. And you had the epiphany of that's not what I want. [00:51:20] And to be able to become that, like that's what I want to be. I want to be what he was. When I'm laying there, I would say you probably are, you're just not a hundred. But I won't be if I don't continue doing the work. A hundred percent correct. Cause it's, it would be very easy for me to pull off. [00:51:42] And again, back to what you said. People know who we are. People know who we are. People know what we do, people, people listen to us for whatever fucking reason, . But people, there are certain people that listen to us and care about what we have to say. And if we let our ego take that over, I have to, I don't, I think we maybe talked about this, but I have to, once a month, I have to, once a month I have to sit down and do a little self-aware ego check with myself, and I have to ask myself questions and say, okay, Eric, why are you going to speak at this event? [00:52:21] Why are you continuously doing these podcasts and paying the money that it costs to travel and do all this stuff and spending a lot of hard earned money to do this? Are you doing it because you want the fucking attention and it's your ego talking, or are you doing it because you genuinely want to help? [00:52:39] People. And I know that when it started, it was about helping people. But when you start getting attention feels good. And it makes your fucking ego open up even more. And if we don't, if we're not self-aware of that, to make sure that doesn't take over what we're doing, then you'll lose everything that you have because ego never wins. [00:53:03] Helping always wins. Your ego is not true of ego [00:53:12] that I wish it was by saying, but I took that for, I've heard it a million times, but it makes me laugh every time. , it's so true. It really is. Eric. Dude, this has been, it's been such a great conversation and it's interesting. I didn't, I don't think I, I don't think I, I don't think I started this call thinking I was gonna finish it or this podcast finishing it with an [00:53:32] accountability partner. [00:53:32] But that's how God works. Literally. Now, and this is not a joke. Like I had that thought today. I was, this is not a joke. Like I had that thought today. And then you bring that up. This is God working in my life and doing for me what I can't do for myself. Yep. Like you put me in this position live. [00:53:52] Yep. I have no choice but to say you did give me a choice, but I understand gift. I understand when God's trying to help me out. Yep. And I'm not gonna turn my back on that. So thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah. And here's the cool thing. I always end any conversation. When we're talking about recovery or talking about AA or whatever it is, right? [00:54:12] Because the God thing that you bring up is what usually scares most people away from recovery and the steps and whatever, because that word is in there, right? And a lot of people run away from that because they and I did. So just to be clear, I did as well because I still, to this day, I loathe organized religion. [00:54:40] Me too. Okay. And I have a lot of friends, like very close friends, that are the polar opposite of me, and that is a very strong belief system of theirs. And I absolutely respect it for them because it works for them, right? It doesn't, it just doesn't work for me. Because though I have this thing that I don't agree with organized religion per se, for a multitude of fucking reasons, right? [00:55:06] But I thought that meant that I wouldn't be able to do any of these other things because God was in them, right? So I was running away from it, but when I shut the fuck up and listened for a second, I realized that in our program, they let you choose your higher power and your God of your understanding. [00:55:36] I was like, wait, what? Wait, what do you do? I was like, I'm intrigued about this. And it was really cool that I got to sit down and talk with other people. Like I didn't just make up shit. Like they tell you like, oh, it could be a doorknob, boo, whatever. That's fucking stupid. But when you get to say I believe in the universe, I believe in energy, I believe in God, right? [00:55:56] Just to give people a look into me a [00:55:58] little bit. Like my spiritual belief system is very like in line with Native American. In what way? In the land and the water and the fire and the sun and the wind and the trees and the energy and the, like in the environment, right? There's something fucking to that. Now other people will argue and be like, yeah, it's called evolution asshole. There's the big bang theory and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like yeah, I understand that. But something triggered that. And there's some kind of energy, there's some kind of higher power, right? [00:56:33] Whatever you want to call it. I don't think that there's a fucking dude in the sky with a beard that's looking down and judging what the fuck I do. I don't necessarily believe that, but I believe that there is something greater than myself out. That has a part in all of this, in what we do. [00:56:53] And the other thing that I know is that I'm not him. Yep. I agree with everything you said. I agree with everything you said because, and I'm so glad that you brought that up about the god part because I actually I do view this as a universe, like that's who I, I don't, as you said, I don't think about it a dude. [00:57:12] I don't think about a person. We're all God. God is one, one as God and taught whatever you want, but things look, things like that have happened in our life don't happen by accident. Correct. It's not a coincidence. I don't believe you in coincidence. I think things happen for a reason. [00:57:27] There's a reason, there's a reason that I got saved, and I don't mean saved in the religious sense, like I'm fucking born again and whatever. I mean that there's a re there's a reason that I was allowed to continue. And not rot in jail, or not die in a car accident or not die from an overdose, right? [00:57:49] There's a reason that I was spared and that reason wasn't to be selfish and to be a pile of shit for the rest of my life and only think about myself. It was to give me an opportunity to give back help, and we have a duty to do that, and if we don't, then we squandered all that fucking shit that we went through. [00:58:16] It was all for absolutely fucking nothing. If we don't take it and turn it into something good. If you don't take it and turn it into [00:58:24] something good. If you're listening to this and you're somebody that has went through that shit and then everything that you do is for a selfish gain, you don't deserve to be here. [00:58:35] That's right. I'll just say it. I don't give a fuck. You don't deserve to be here. I wanna clarify one thing in there because you said you, you gotta help other people. But I want, I wanna be a little bit more specific because I, for years I've helped other people, but I wasn't helping other alcoholics and that Oh yeah. [00:58:51] That was the part that was missing for me. And I guess the reason that I kept it vague was because , there's other people that go through other shit that has nothing to do with alcoholism. Yes. That have went through these trials and tribulations of whether it's depression or it's, you know what I mean? [00:59:07] Or it's divorce or it's, whatever it is. You go through something like that. And if you don't take the lessons from that, and not only apply 'em into your life, but to be better. But then once you do that, cuz it, it is the old saying, right? You gotta use the oxygen mask for yourself first. [00:59:22] And then you give it to your neighbor, right? Yeah. But who's the prick that just keeps it on himself and doesn't give it to his neighbor after they're, okay. So it doesn't matter if you are in recovery, right? Like for you and I it that is what it is. That's part of it, right? Sure. But for o but for other people listening, cuz I'm sure you have a large percentage of your audience that isn't right in recovery for sure. [00:59:43] But they went through some shit too, and they still have a duty to figure out how they give back from the shit that they learn from. Because it's not all about you. You gotta take care of yourself first. Make your money right, take care of your family. And then once that's handled, start fucking giving back and start helping other humans because that's how you'll genuinely become fulfilled in life. [01:00:09] And it gets you outta your own way, right? Gets you outta your own way and health just for the period of time that you're at. Asking about somebody else or you're listening to somebody else's things, providing that you're actually listening, it does take you out of yourself. It gives you a almost a reprieve. [01:00:26] You can just, you have Yeah. You get it. Yeah. How, what's the easiest way to forget about your problems? Ask you about yours? [01:00:37] That's the truth. That's the easiest way to forget about your problems if you're fucking the old joke when we were kids. Oh, my head hurts. Let me punch in the dick. Your head won't hurt anymore. That's right. Same thing, right? Same thing. Same thing. [01:00:50] Yep. Yep. My analogies aren't quite the same as some other shows, but yeah. [01:00:54] That's alright. I'm sure. I'm sure everybody's gonna love that. Totally makes sense. Paint a picture. That's right. Paint a picture. Dude, Eric, thank you. I, dude, this has been incredible. I really appreciate this. This has been such a good conversation, and unless I've forgotten anything I'd love for you to make sure, I do want you to tell everybody where they can find roofers in recovery and tell 'em anything about yourself as well. [01:01:16] Where they can find Absolutely. Anybody that's looking for, so one, if you're in recovery and if you're in our space not to sound like a, like we discriminate, but we do we have a niche, right? And we want to help people in our industry, right? So if you're in the roofing space or the construction space, and again, that can be attorneys, PAs, actual roofers, salesman, owners, whatever. [01:01:39] If you're in the, if you're in the roofing storm or storm restoration, whatever industry, roofers in recovery, we are a nonprofit. We raise money every year to send people to treatment. But we also have a. And we have a community online and we have Zoom meetings twice a week where we all get together and then when we're in public places, like at a conference, we'll hold meetings at that event as well, like we did at Roof Con. [01:02:04] So I want people to know that resource is available and if you know somebody that needs help that's in that space, reach out to one of us and so we can figure out if we can help send them to treatment as well, right? So that's number one. Number two is obviously please check us out at be authentic or Get the fuck out, right? [01:02:22] I don't know if you see this right here. Yeah. This was my first business slogan that I put on the back of t-shirts was fuck fitting in. Stand Out Daddy and I put on the back of Dnm Roofing t-shirts as well. Swear to God, I just xed out the, like I made the c and exclamation point, but they're on the back of every worker's t-shirt. [01:02:46] Because I wanted everybody to know we do shit differently, we're going to stand out. And that was the basis of be authentic or get the fuck out. And every guest that we have on, if now it hasn't happened yet because I think people have figured out that like that, I'll sniff it out. And so it's never gonna happen. [01:03:03] But the intent was, is that if you came on my show and I sniffed that you weren't being authentic and you were pretending to be somebody else, I'll just turn the motherfucker off and I'll start with somebody else next. Never happened [01:03:16] though. Hasn't happened yet. Because people know who I am now. . And so if I invite somebody that like would have an inkling that they would be like that, they're like no, I'm good. [01:03:26] They won't, sorry. Yeah, they won't come on. So it's morphed. It's morphed into something other than that where like we talk about recovery like we did here today, but we also talk about business and leadership and all kinds of different things. I love hearing other people's stories about how they came from nothing and they became something. [01:03:42] And the other thing to end with that I love talking about, and the real purpose of my show was, is to take the time to learn about the differences in humans and figure out where the common ground is. And have, and learning what empathy really is in understanding somebody else's point of view. [01:04:04] I don't have to agree with it. But it is really cool if I can at least get to understand why you believe it, because then we can still be friends, right? Yeah. It goes back, I it's why I get so angry at just the state of affairs in the world today, whether it's in politics or it's fucking, c discussions and all that. [01:04:26] I am a hard line. Go fuck your mask and shove it up your ass. But I have people in my life that aren't like that and don't believe what I believe. But here's the thing. I love them and I respect them, and so I want to know where they're

Andrew and Patrick became good friends there, and were eventually let go for drinking on the job together. Andrew then moved on to FOH work at Bohemian House in Chicago and stayed there only for 6 months before working with Patrcik again at Union Sushi. Soon after leaving the restaurant industry COVID happened and Andrew decided to team up with Patrick to create Jinsei Motto, which exists inside an existing distillery, called C.H. Distillery. Jinsei Motto and C.H. Distillery are two separate entities operating out of the same space. Show notes… Calls to ACTION!!!

Så er der nye iPhones. Og sikke et vildt det har været siden Steve Jobs stod på scenen i 2007 med sin mærkelige telefon – helt uden tal-knapper eller den kendte og elskede Nokia-ringetone. Og nu har vi så iPhone 14. Computerworlds teknologiredaktør Niels de Boissezon har prøvet dem – og deler sit indtryk i denne episode.Men afsnittet handler især om at iPhonen er blevet Apples malkemaskine, som hvert år nu sprøjter milliarder af dollars ud – og som på mange måder er blevet en industristandard. Men sådan har det ikke altid været. For undervejs har der været flere selvmål, brændere og direkte røde kort til forskellige iPhone-modeller. Niels de Boissezon og Computerworlds største Apple-entusiast og redaktør for forretningsudvikling og innovation, Jacob Wittorff, giver derfor i episoden hver eneste iPhone siden 2007 karakterer. Vært på episoden er Lars Jacobsen, chefredaktør på Computerworld

This week on the podcast, we hear from Andrea Dalzell who is a registered nurse, healthcare advocate, disability rights influencer, speaker and most importantly, a survivor. At the age of five, Andrea was diagnosed with transverse myelitis, an inflammation of the spinal cord that causes pain, muscle weakness and paralysis, and she was using a wheelchair full-time by twelve years old. Inspired by her experiences with nurses, she received her nursing degree from the City University of New York, College of Staten Island. Andrea became the first registered nurse in a wheelchair in the state of New York, and she devotes her career to helping others with disabilities live healthier lives whether seated or able-bodied. Andrea was crowned Ms. Wheelchair New York 2015, and utilized her title and platform: "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Access," to promote her message and belief that people with disabilities can live a fulfilling life. As an advocate and activist, she has won national recognition over the years, including being named New Mobility's Person of the Year (2021) and the inaugural Craig H. Neilsen Visionary Prize Winner 2020. She has also been featured in Unite Spinal, HomeCare Magazine, Apple's iWatch campaign, Yahoo, and Forbes.

Il CEO di Meta ha recentemente postato un selfie scattato in Horizon World che ha suscitato molte critiche in rete per la qualità della grafica. Zuckerberg ha quindi cambiato rotta in fretta, fornendo una spiegazione (un mea culpa, in realtà) e rilasciando nuovi fotogrammi della piattaforma che mostrano enormi progressi. Intanto, il mondo virtuale di Facebook è arrivato anche in Francia e Spagna. Le istituzioni finanziarie più tradizionali guardano alla blockchain per evolvere i loro servizi. Un'analisi del WSJ evidenzia che sebbene Wall Street non stia investendo direttamente in crypto, sta adottando sempre più spesso la stessa tecnologia per rendere le transazioni più facili, veloci ed economiche. L'evento di Apple dedicato a iPhone. Si terrà il 7 settembre, secondo quanto riportato da Bloomberg. La linea di iPhone non pro includerà un modello da 6,1 pollici e una versione più grande da 6,7 pollici. L'iPhone 14 Pro avrà una coppia di obiettivi per la fotocamera frontale e lo scanner FaceID. Apple prevede anche di presentare nuovi Apple Watch durante l'evento, che potrebbero essere in vendita già dal 16 settembre.

Greg Abbott has been criticized for not doing and saying more in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting. His response to silence critics comes in the form of an app called iWatch, and while the idea behind iWatch is reasonable, it's the Chuck Norris pitch that will turn the PSA into a laughable meme.  

Pretty interesting story here when you find out what the CFO of Florida is doing to protect from possible over reach by the new IRS agents. And what should we expect from the new iPhone and new iWatch? Yep, these are coming out soon...

Today I'm stating the obvious. I don't have time to do this show as consistently as I once did. I talk about the new schedule. I also have a cronometer update, and an announcement.Weigh InPrevious:237.5Current: 235.1Cronometer Ads Men's and Women's Health ScoresI love the Cronometer app. They added a new iWatch app which makes it easy to see what is going on. They also added two scores to help you see if you're getting all the nutrients you need.See Men's Health Score ExplanationSee Women's health Score ExplanationWhy I Started This PodcastI thought announcing my weight to the world would help me hold myself accountable. It did until it didn't. Someone once left a review in Apple complaining that I was gaining weight. I woke up the next day, and I was still breathing. This was up to me, and me only.I've Been Going How Long?I started this show in 2018 so so almost 15 years. This might help explain why I've run out of things to say on a regular basis. I think I already know to:Quit eating processed foodsQuit drinking sodaDrink plenty of waterGet plenty of SleepGet out and moveMuscle burns FatI could go on. But I just don't have the passion I once did. I'm now a great-uncle and my priorities have shifted, and I have other things happening in my life.I'm Not Quitting My Fitness GoalsI'm not off to go get fat (I've kind of got that going already). I am still fighting to be healthy, lose weight, and live long and live well. I have great-nieces and nephews and I want to see their kids (someday - many, MANY, days from now).Part of It Was MentalBy not being able to give this show "My All" it bothered me. It bothered me to not be losing weight. I was letting myself down. By going on a "When I have something to say" schedule, I can take care of these other priorities and know that you and I have talked, and you know it's not you - it's me.Check out the Back CatalogGo to www.logicalloss.com/follow and subscribe/follow for free and consume the older episodes.We Need to Guard our TimeCheck out this great book by Mathew DicksSomeday Is Today: 22 Simple, Actionable Ways to Propel Your Creative Life see https://amzn.to/3PCjkkq (aff)If You'd Like to Say ThanksIf you're been one of the thousands of people who consumed this show and you got value out of it, buy me a coffee as a way to say thank you.

In football, teams are extra careful not to make a mistake when they get within about 20 yards of scoring points (known as the Red Zone). They've typically worked hard to get to that point and don't want to cost themselves by throwing an interception or fumbling the ball and giving it to the other team. On this episode, we'll explore the financial equivalent of the Red Zone and discuss how you can really mess things up if you're not careful during this phase of your life. If you're approaching retirement, this is a fundamental conversation you won't want to miss.

Welcome back into the podcast. It's time to talk football a little bit here on retirement planning, redefined with John and Nick. We always talk finance, investing finance and retirement, and we're still going to, but we're going to talk about not fumbling your retirement in the financial red zone. We are in the playoffs at the time we are dropping this. Now we are recording just before they're starting. They're starting this weekend. And so this will come out while the playoffs are rocking and rolling, but that's all right. We're still going to talk about this analogy, because it works really well for this time of year. And we'll get into that in just a second. But first let me say, Hey to the guys.   Marc Killian: Nick, what's going on, buddy? How you're doing?   Nick McDevitt: Good.   Nick McDevitt: This was a good reminder to ask John on when I'm going to get paid for my second place finish in the Fantasy Football League.   Marc Killian: Nice.   John Teixeira: I don't know what Nick's referencing here. We do not gamble here, so I'm going to give Nick a nice handshake and pat in the back for drafting the second best team in the league.   Marc Killian: There you go. Okay. Well what's going on with you, John. You're doing all right?   John Teixeira: Doing good. Trying to get some recapping from our last session of their great resignation, and actually trying to get some contractors to send me an estimate based after they came to my house has been a challenge.   Marc Killian: Right? I know.   Marc Killian: I was talking with some contractors not too long ago and they're like, right now, all I got to do is show up and I get like 50% of the jobs, you know?   John Teixeira: Yeah.   Marc Killian: And, they're not wrong, you know? So there's a lot going on. Well, I know you guys are both football fans and guys both come in from the same division, actually. We got a Patriots fan and a Bills fan. So living in Florida, which is interesting, and especially considering that you got radio right around the corner now, but either way, we're going to talk about this financial red zone and football and a little analogy to go back and forth. And as I said, the games are starting for the playoffs and you guys are going to be actually competing against each other. Your teams will be anyway. So we'll have some fun with this. So do me a favor real fast. John, I'll let you start. Tell me what's the financial red zone? Go ahead and talk about the football red zone if you want as well. I think most people know it, but just real quick and then tell us what the financial equivalent is.   John Teixeira: Yeah. Football red zones, when you get 20 yards of scoring. So, right before the end zone, really important place to be efficient, making sure that everything's tightened up. The defenses plays a little bit harder here because the shorter field. So just really important to make sure the offense is doing their best and making sure everything's done right, which leads into what we call the financial red zone, where we would consider that last 10 years before retiring and can range for five to 10 years after retiring, but the analogy goes well where. This is probably the most important part of your retirement is making sure that, Hey, you got 10 years left or you're five, 10 years into it. You cannot make a mistake.   Marc Killian: Yeah.   John Teixeira: And it's important to make sure everything's lined up and you're being as efficient and careful as possible to make sure you hit all your goals and maintain the lifestyle that you want going into retirement.   Marc Killian: Yeah, for sure. So it has been pretty easy. Right? So just think of it like that, same scoring red zone. Now maybe you're not trying to score necessarily in the financial red zone as you're talking about retirement, but there are some things to pay attention to because turnovers, as you mentioned with the football analogy are more critical. So Nick give us some reasons why people need to pay attention to that?   Nick McDevitt: Yeah. There're a few things here and obviously it'll all depends on the plan, but in many ways, from an accumulation standpoint, time is no longer on your side. The goal is obviously to save as much money as you can. And once you get into that 10 year window, hopefully you're in your higher earning years and you're able to save more money. Maybe there're less kids on the payroll, et cetera. And it's also important from the standpoint of the money that you've saved up to that point, making sure that it's invested properly, it's a lot easier to have a half a million dollars double in the last two years than it is to have a hundred thousand dollars catch up to $500,000 or things like that.   Nick McDevitt: So, that's some money that you've been able to build up once you've entered into that red zone and then how that money's going to accumulate, leading up through retirement is an important time. So, really making sure that your decisions are coordinated together and you're not really just, Hey, I just saved this amount of money and I put it into this, and I don't pay attention to it. Usually isn't the best sure strategy.   Marc Killian: Yeah.   Nick McDevitt: It's just much more difficult to recover from mistakes that are in this period.   Marc Killian: Yeah. So, If you're in a good place, right, this is when a lot of times teams will start looking at taking the knee, right? If you're in a good spot from a financial standpoint, you want to start taking that victory formation because you're trying to protect the ball. And John, I'll go to this next one, but I'll make you happy by bringing something up here when you're talking about, some of the mistakes that you see people make getting a little too risky. Think back to that Seahawks Patriots game, Super Bowl, a few years back, I think it was 2015. Right? And the whole world knew the Seahawks were going to punch that in with Marshawn Lynch, running on the one yard line, but they took a risk. They threw it and they got intercepted and it cost them the Super Bowl.   John Teixeira: Yeah. That was a big risk.   Marc Killian: Right. It sticks in my mind seven years later, right?   John Teixeira: Yeah. It's funny. I watched some of the man of the arena with Brady, it's been background noise at this point just when I'm doing stuff around the house and they replayed that. And it was interesting to hear the people talk about it, but yeah, that was a big risk. And that's a big mistake that we see for clients when they're nearing retirement is they are taking too much risk and that can happen quite a bit in your 401k, because you've just picked a fund when you first started at that company.   Marc Killian: Right.   John Teixeira: And typically everyone unfortunately chases returns in their 401k. They just look at a fund and say, this did, will they pick it? But as you're getting that red zone, it's important you evaluate what you're in because if you're taking too much risk and we have a 2009 type recession, it takes a little bit to fully recover from there never mind that you got the mindset of, Hey, I just lost 30% of my portfolio.   John Teixeira: I don't want to lose any more. Should I get more conservative? Which will seep into people as you get closer to retirement. So if you make that shift and get conservative, market bounces back within a two year period, you miss a majority of that recovery. So important to make sure that how much risk you're taking your portfolio is the right amount of risk for you and your plan. We go back to, again, the planning, having the right distribution strategy, as you're in the red zone, very vital to your retirement success and scoring.   Marc Killian: Yeah. Well, Nick, before I go to the next point here, I'm going to give you a chance on this as well, because if you think about, what he was just talking about, making sure that your portfolio's not taking too much risk. This market is on a 12 year run. It makes it really enticing and really hard for us to not go. I can eek out a little more. Right? I can squeak out just a little bit more, but that's when you start putting more at risk on the table.   John Teixeira: Yeah. And you know, because ultimately what ends up happening is what we're trying to do is, is manage decision making and what ends up happening. And the reason that we try to de-risk a little bit in the situation is so that there's not an overreaction. So, the easiest way to prevent an overreaction for an individual is to have a plan. So you can remind yourself of, Hey, this is why I'm doing what I'm doing. And you have something to go back to show you, Hey look at, this plan tells me that if I do X, Y, and Z, that I've got a pretty solid chance to have a comfortable and successful retirement. And, if you've got ice water in your veins and you can handle, a 40% dip in a year and something in a year that where things happen chaotic and it doesn't even blip your iWatch then that's one thing, but most people can't.   John Teixeira: And when that feeling of anxiety starts to creep in, as you start to log in your account more because we're going through a pullback happens and it pushes you to make a poor decision. That's when the snowball starts rolling down the hill and that's where we can really get into trouble.   Marc Killian: So, well, even if you've got ice water in your veins, there's a good chance, your significant other doesn't, right?   John Teixeira: Yeah.   Marc Killian: Oftentimes there's that split in the investing philosophy many times where one is a go getter and one is a bit more conservative. So you want to make sure you're just not taking too many chances in the red zone. If you got a good plan, you got a good strategy. Your team is so "winning the game," then again, consider taking that knee, take that victory formation, at least start hedging your bet, that way you're not going to have too much at risk because you got to still outpace inflation. That's a given, but you also don't have to necessarily continue to throw the ball, 40 yards down the field.   Marc Killian: So for those that are paying attention, John, that are being proactive, why is retirement planning easier for those folks once they do get to the financial red zone?   John Teixeira: Yeah, I'd say the biggest thing we see when someone goes through a planning process and they get to see it, it provides them a blueprint and a roadmap of what they can expect. And that roadmap of blueprint really gives people a little bit peace of mind so they can see the cash flow, they can see the money and it really comes down to, they can see their goals and what they want to do. So it makes it come to life. So that makes a little bit easier versus the unknown of, Hey, you try building the house without a blueprint, it makes a little bit harder. Right? So, the financial plan is that blueprint and just gives people peace of mind, which ultimately they make better decisions.   Marc Killian: Yeah.   John Teixeira: So you can look at things, income stream, social security, when is the best time to take it or my pension options. When you have the plan, you can test those. So you feel confident in, Hey, I already looked at this and I know what to expect. What's the best option for me in my family and what we're doing. So, the plan is key in making sure you make sound decisions and it provides people, again, sound like a broken record or a peace of mind that what they're doing is right.   Marc Killian: Yeah. Definitely. Any couple of little bullet points Nick to toss in there.   Nick McDevitt: Yeah. I would just say that, the people that are doing well are the people that are able to zero in, in this financial red zone. Part of the reason is because everything starts to feel a little bit more real. Sometimes people have a really hard time thinking about 30 years down the line.   Marc Killian: Right.   Nick McDevitt: And the numbers seem out of whack and the variables seem super unpredictable, and things like that. So oftentimes once we're in that zone, we have a good idea of what the numbers are going to look like from an income stream standpoint, whether it's the social security or you have a pension or Hey, there's lead at the end of the tunnel of having the mortgage paid down, or the kids are going to be off the payroll in two years and that's going to free up X amount of income per month to be able to save. So, you feel there's hope and momentum on the side and the people that do well with planning, they really lean into that and are really able to take that momentum and move themselves forward strongly.   Marc Killian: Yeah. So let's not fumble the football in retirement, the financial football, if you will, if you got some questions, need some help, you should know what to do by now. Hopefully you're already working with John and Nick. There's a good chance of just catching this because you already are. And you're checking out the podcast and you get the information. But if not, definitely stop by and reach out to them at pfgprivatewealth.com. That's the team's website, a lot of good tools, tips and resources at pfgprivatewealth.com. And you could drop us a line as well. We take email questions. Of course, they all get answered, but we also take some from time to time here and use them on the show. And that's what we're going to do to wrap things up.   Marc Killian: So, whoever wants to tackle this, no pun intended, go for it. My brother tells me that I have way too much money in the bank and he's probably right. I got about $150,000 sitting in there now, but I just like knowing if there in case I have an emergency, this is Frank by the way. And so Frank says, is it really that bad to have that much in my savings account, take it away.   Nick McDevitt: So, this is an interesting question because oftentimes for most people, the answer might be yes. However, the thing to remember and what we try to harp on with people is that, it doesn't necessarily matter what your brother, your sister, your mailman, your coworker, your dog walker, everybody's willing to give their opinion or their advice on financial topics. And it's important to take your situation, put in a perspective. If you're somebody that makes $300,000 a year, then maybe that 150 is a good amount. If you're somebody that makes $40,000 a year and you've got 150 in cash, then there's a good chance that you're not saving into things that have more upside and more growth for you. You probably have been a little bit wary of the market or didn't know how or where to invest.   Nick McDevitt: And there're things that you can do. Maybe you've never saved to a Roth before and we could start putting money into a Roth. Maybe you haven't adjusted your 401k contribution in eight years. And that's part of the reason that this money is saved up. So, there're ways that we can take a portion of it and save it into vehicles and then maybe adjust. One of the things that we've seen is adjusting from here, moving forward. So in other words, it might make you very uncomfortable to take a hundred grand out of that 150 and put it to work, but maybe we can take 25 and put it to work, but also we're going to aggressively save moving forward with the income that you have and and figure out where that pain point might be to put money away.   Marc Killian: Yeah.   Nick McDevitt: So it really is a function of what your expenses are. Things like, do you have dual income in the house? Is the house paid off? Dual income, you could probably have a little bit less in there. If the house is paid off, definitely put more money to work. So, it could be, but just like everything else that we talk about, it depends. And the easiest way to really truly answer that is to look at it through the lens of the plan and go from there.   Marc Killian: Well, I guess I would say John, probably what's your definition of liquid, right? In getting to it, obviously a lot of people see, they want to see a certain number. I'd ask myself if I was Frank, what kind of emergency constitute 150 grand and/or what do you consider liquid, right? If it's something you need to get to within three to five days, often there're many types of accounts you can do that. It doesn't have to just be money in the bank.   John Teixeira: Yes. So, liquid would. A lot of different people view it differently. So one would be, Hey, I can get access to this without any penalty. And that would be number one of being liquid. Another version would be, Hey, I can get this without any penalty or taxes, you know? So that could be another version of someone considering it liquid, but yeah, there're different buckets to choose from when you need access money. And it's important you work with an advisor to figure out what are the penalties and very important what are the tax consequences for accessing this cash?   Marc Killian: Yeah. Okay. Well, Frank, thanks so much for listening. Hopefully that helps you. I know you how you don't want to admit your brother's right. So technically you don't have to. So if you're like me, I never want to tell my brother he is right. You can just certainly say it depends. Right? So everybody's situation is different.

John go.   John Teixeira: Good question. I'm going to have to say, I think the 49ers might win.   Marc Killian: Okay. All right. He's calling the 49ers. Nick, who you're going with, buddy?   Nick McDevitt: I'll go with the Packers.   Marc Killian: Wow. Neither one of you guys took the team.   John Teixeira: I was going to go with the Packers, but Adam Rogers always chokes him.   Marc Killian: He does play.   John Teixeira: He is like notorious for NFC championship game. Let me play awful. Last year I think Brady threw three picks in the second half or third quarter or something.   Marc Killian: Yeah.   John Teixeira: And he couldn't capitalize on it or fourth quarter, whatever it was. I don't know.   Marc Killian: There you go. Well, folks, let us know what you think. And we'll be back with more on the podcast in February. So probably after the Super Bowl. So, we'll see if the guys are right and we'll talk to you next time here on retirement planning, redefined with John and Nick.

It was a fun weekend for both of us. We both got our hands on the Battlefield 1 beta and discuss our thoughts and whether or not it's a must-buy. Tim has a new mobile game to discuss in Steppy Pants. We got a new peek into Horde 3.0 in Gears of War 4 along with a new track from Run the Jewels off of RTJ3.

Home Before Dark hearkens back to a time when you and your friends in the neighborhood were forced inside. Where you discovered a level of brotherhood/sisterhood that could only be forged through playing video games, watching movies, television and discussing the finer things in life over an Orange Lavaburst Hi-C and Bagel Bites. We take the time out to talk about the current games we're playing, movies we've seen recently(new or old) and all the things in between. It's almost that time.  The streetlights just came on and you had better leave soon to be Home Before Dark.  Find the whole gang on twitter @timherband @the_ARC1TECTand collectively @HomeB4Dark
