Alone the way. I hope you enjoy and subscribe. Welcome to the call today. I want to open the floor up

6
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:23.680
To ask you guys

7
00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:26.480
Because I'm sure because it's been it's been 30 days since last time we spoke

8
00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:30.960
So if you guys have questions in the chat burning burning things decisions that are impending

9
00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:37.280
Things you're unsure about strategies that you need to validate or even just a verbal high five. Please put it in the chat

10
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.000
I'll go him go him from top to bottom and then I'll rock and roll from there

11
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.480
Mr. Pidman question that leans on full of topical meaning of my side what's

12
00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:52.080
Sure, let's let's let's rock in let's do it

13
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.240
So in your podcast you talk a lot about the

14
00:00:57.360 --> 00:01:01.120
Like how happiness is like the equation of like

15
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.320
Wants versus needs and like I had a million cash in the bank, but I was living off of

16
00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:08.880
30 grand or something like that

17
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:13.520
And so were you have you always just been predisposed to wanting

18
00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.920
Less or is that like a skill that you learned because most people are like you know, I want to make

19
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.520
Millions and millions of dollars so that I can get more

20
00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:27.920
At least that's kind of like where I was the direction I was going until I like start listening to you and now I'm thinking like oh my um

21
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.080
You know and so I'm just curious to know like if that was just like a natural like

22
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:39.760
Pre this position that you had or you like got to a certain point to where you're like okay now that I've experienced

23
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:46.800
More I want less like how did that all kind of play out because I think it would help me become more happy

24
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.760
Then that's a loaded question. It has probably been what that question has been the the primary thing that's occupied my mind space in the last

25
00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:56.240
18 months

26
00:01:56.240 --> 00:01:59.200
And so for context I don't talk as much probably about what we do

27
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.040
But like between are all of the companies that we own we're doing just under two million a week

28
00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:05.840
Like I don't need to take these calls

29
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.560
Right I do these things because like they're the few things that I drive joy from

30
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.280
Like I love you know, like I like hearing Peter's updates

31
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.360
I like hearing Patrick knowing that he's he's he's he's moving you know forward in the car practice as in Jason's

32
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.000
Finally getting his fucking lead gen

33
00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:24.720
Set up and Mac you're doing your own dance thing which is sick you know what I mean in Michael

34
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.360
I know I remember your first sale like that that is where I find meaning and so I think first off

35
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.440
If you redefine the term from happiness, which is which is based on outside circumstances

36
00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:35.200
You are happy as a reaction

37
00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:39.120
Joy comes from within which means that I can be sad and sorrowful and filled with joy

38
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:44.640
You can mourn and be joyful because joyful is how you choose to experience the circumstances

39
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:47.680
So first I would redefine the word that you're shooting for right

40
00:02:48.880 --> 00:02:50.880
The second thing is

41
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:58.000
Is asking like but why right and so a lot of us want to make money because we're like I want to you know

42
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.640
And then and then when we talk publicly it's like I want to leave a legacy. I want to leave an impact

43
00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:05.840
blah blah blah blah right all that stuff. I want to help people

44
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.760
But the reality is that everything that you do that is external achievement is ephemeral

45
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:17.280
And what it means is it literally only exists on the physical plane and that physical plane is temporary

46
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:21.360
Which means it will end which means that all of the achievements and all the things that you're doing on this plane

47
00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:25.040
Literally by definition will have no lasting impact

48
00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:32.080
Real quick wise you guys already know that I don't run any ads on this and I don't sell anything

49
00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:36.400
And so the only ask that I can ever have are you guys that you help me spread the word so we can not more entrepreneurs

50
00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:42.400
Make more money feed their families make better products and have better experiences for their employees and customers

51
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.880
The only way we do that is if you can rate and review and share this podcast

52
00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:49.440
So the single thing that I have to do is you can just leave review

53
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:55.280
Let's take 10 seconds or one type of the thug that it means the absolute will to me and more importantly it may change the world for someone else

54
00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:02.240
And so if it means that nothing that you do any all the things that you accomplish

55
00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:06.400
And all the things or rather the wealth that you accumulate will eventually disappear

56
00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:08.720
It changes the perspective somewhat

57
00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:11.840
And so the way that I like to think about it is the analogy of a casino

58
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:17.520
And so I think all of us are given a token when we're you know when we come of age and start to get into the game

59
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.520
And we sit down at a table and we play and we play and we play and we play

60
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:28.960
And the players around the table are bragging about how big their chips are some players win some players lose and more more chips get stacked right

61
00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:34.320
But the difference between that casino and the casino of life is that at the end of the day

62
00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:40.000
You leave the table with your chips still on it and you don't cash out and then everyone takes the chips that you had there

63
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.560
So you're playing a fake game with fake money

64
00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:47.520
And so I think when you realize

65
00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:51.440
That like you can buy a castle you can buy a house

66
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:57.680
And there's a person in India who has no shoes who has more joy in their life

67
00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:00.480
You realize that none of the things that we do to accomplish

68
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:06.960
Serve any real meaning whatsoever. They really just act as the shovel that we use to dig the holes

69
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.680
That we're going to fill back up at the end of the day when we die

70
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.920
And so it's like what shovel do you want to use to dig your hole

71
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.920
And so I like to think of those things as what things do I inherently find joy in

72
00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:32.960
And so for me I enjoy learning and I learn through teaching and so that is how I derive meaning

73
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.840
And the only thing that I can

74
00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:41.200
Dedicate my life to that is eternal are things that will last past the physical plane

75
00:05:41.760 --> 00:05:43.200
Which are values

76
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:50.240
And so if you can shift your decision-making process from outcome-based decision-making process to value-based decision-making process

77
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.600
You'll always feel in alignment with your identity

78
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.400
And so for me when I

79
00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:02.000
Experience alignment between what I truly believe what I say and what I do

80
00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:06.160
I feel like I'm acting in the way that I that is an alignment with who I am

81
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.760
And so I think that a lot of us have made decisions or say things that are contrary to what we believe or we do things

82
00:06:11.760 --> 00:06:17.520
That are contrary to what we say we do things contrary to what we think and we experience dissonance and that's most of our lives

83
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.640
And so I think that if you can free yourself into thinking I can

84
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:28.000
I believe these things to be true. I say them with certainty and my life is a reflection of those things

85
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.840
Which I believe to be to be meaningful and I can dedicate my life to that eternal value

86
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.400
And that value will exist after I die

87
00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:41.440
And so that for me is is is kind of where I drive meaning

88
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.040
From work

89
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.560
That was helpful

90
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.560
Yeah, that was real big. How have you defined your values though?

91
00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:59.760
You know like did you like sit on a stone and say like I value integrity and courage and like what does

92
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:03.680
What does that look like and how does that play? I mean, obviously if you do business

93
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.040
You're doing it with integrity and courage or whatever your values are but like

94
00:07:09.760 --> 00:07:11.520
You may not be if you think about it

95
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.760
There's a lot of times where

96
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.560
Where we we sacrifice we cut a small corner right

97
00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:24.160
And so where we cut the small corners a lot of times is not anything that anyone else would notice

98
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.160
It's just that we know it

99
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.360
Like you make the email campaign and you just know you didn't do your best

100
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.880
You just wanted to get it done right you made the ad and you didn't really go through the process that you know

101
00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:36.400
You should be going through it

102
00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:41.200
Right you made the the VSL and you just try to knock it out because it's on your to-do list rather than thinking like

103
00:07:41.200 --> 00:07:43.040
I'm going to make this truly excellent

104
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.280
And so every time you do that you live outside of the values that you have for yourself

105
00:07:48.640 --> 00:07:52.560
And so I think that like you you feel like you live in alignment when

106
00:07:53.520 --> 00:07:57.760
What you say to others about what you believe is actually what you do and so yes

107
00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:03.680
Sure, we all believe in being honest. Sure. We all believe in trying hard. Sure. We all believe in doing your best

108
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.920
But no one fucking does

109
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.800
Man, I'll work everyone. I was like go to fucking China

110
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:20.320
Where they work six days a week 12 hours a day and that is their 40 hour work week and tell me how hard you work

111
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.160
I worked the weekend

112
00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:26.560
You're so hardcore right

113
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:30.800
And then why is working even considered something that's laudable

114
00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:36.400
Right laudable like why is it why is that even anything because like we're supposed to be doing things that we enjoy

115
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:41.360
That we derive meaning from so why should we be loaded for doing things that we find joy like that we derive joy from

116
00:08:42.160 --> 00:08:44.160
It's just interesting thoughts

117
00:08:44.160 --> 00:08:46.480
But um anyways Michael that's um that's my

118
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.200
Let's watch you since
