We talk about the success journey. We talk about the

00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:26.920
success journey? What does that mean to you? I'm not
6
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.879
even sure it's gonna bean a thousand things to a
7
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.920
thousand people, But the point is you gotta be on
8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.679
it to get there. You can't have success in two seconds.
9
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.439

11
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.679

34
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:12.159
How are you?
35
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.560
They're great, Steve, appreciate the opportunity to be here.
36
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.599
Oh listen, I am looking forward to hearing your story.
37
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.800
I'm looking forward to you sharing things. You say. Your
38
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.639
mission is to empower executive professionals high achievers to optimize
39
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.400
their health span. That's an interesting kind of word and lifespan.
40
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.639
Health span right, because you can live to one hundred
41
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:37.000
and be sickly. Right combines evidence based strategies and nutrition,
42
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.159
fitness recovery, and hormone optimization. You're about hormones a lot
43
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.159
with women, you know, in terms of like menopause and
44
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.120
things like that. You don't talk about it as much
45
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.120
with men. But anyway, let me let me ask you this.
46
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.479
It sounds like this is not something you figured out
47
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.759
in the last few weeks. Right, What gots you started
48
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.000
on this journey? What got you into the longevity space,
49
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.719
the health space space, the fitness space, because body buildings
50
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.560
like not something you know that's like, that's a lifestyle.
51
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.039
You don't just lift weights, it's all diet and everything.
52
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.080
So tell us, tell us your story.
53
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.080
Well, I started off with bodybuilding after I got out
54
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.439
of high school. I played you know, basketball in high school,
55
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.759
and I did sports and uh, you know, the dream
56
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.000
was to be a be a pro athlete. Well that
57
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.400
wasn't going to happen in basketball because I'm short. I'm
58
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:32.599
five foot seven so and I was small as a
59
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.680
as an individual. So I wanted to figure out a
60
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.599
way to put more muscle on because I got picked
61
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.520
on a little bit as well, when I was in school,
62
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.960
and I didn't like that. Its annoying. And then I
63
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.680
saw a picture of Arnold sportunated on a magazine. I thought, well,
64
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.479
I put some muscle on, people probably leave me alone.
65
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.639
And so my journey started with that initially. And plus
66
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.479
more females are bigger than me at the time, so
67
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.400
if you're going to get the dating, it's not really
68
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.360
good with your stature. So I got into bodybuilding and
69
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.280
I did everything you could do wrong on that process,
70
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.840
but that's how I learned. And so from that journey
71
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.400
I had some success. I was competing and winning, not
72
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.439
necessarily winning, I was getting second, a third place. And
73
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.360
reality was in those days, which is in the late
74
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.040
eighties early nineties, you got to be on drugs, which
75
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:24.959
I wasn't going to do that. So I decided, well,
76
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.360
I'm just going to stay healthy and I like bodybuilding
77
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.959
and that was my lifestyle. So I've been doing that
78
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.519
ever since. And then during this journey, when we hit
79
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.399
about forty five forty six, I started to not my
80
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.560
body wasn't responding to the training and the things I
81
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.560
was doing like it normally had been. And then my
82
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.040
wife made a comment about this aging thing is kind
83
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.839
of a you know something, it's kind of a headache,
84
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.879
and so I'm like, I don't think it's anything to
85
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.519
do about it, but I said, well, I mean this, see,
86
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.319
there's anything you can do about it. And so basically
87
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.040
at the age of four, with each five, I just
88
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.040
I started studying aging. And so I've been studying ever since.
89
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.920
I'm sixty two today, and so there's a lot to
90
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.600
know about how how the body ages. And it was
91
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.439
pretty you know, pretty basic in the beginning, but the
92
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.680
last five years have really speeded up what happens with aging,
93
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.120
and so I'm fascinated by it. And so I've just been
94
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.920
studying it. And you know, the idea of letting Larner
95
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.639
was always attractive as well, because if you're doing well financially,
96
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.560
you want to be able to maximize the you know,
97
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.279
all the hard work you're doing, and you look around
98
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.600
outside you see people in poor health. They can't hardly
99
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.839
move well. I didn't want to be part of that,
100
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.360
and I didn't want to have somebody out, you know,
101
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.399
have to take care of me. And so that's the
102
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.399
division is how do I keep it again? Health span lifespan,
103
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.759
So where I get the best return for the amount
104
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.079
of years I'm alive and not be you know, bedridden,
105
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.600
or not be in a wheelchair. Things like that. Don't
106
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.920
get me wrong, there's accents that can cause this, but
107
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.160
just things that I could control.
108
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.360
Was yeah, yeah, yeah, I prefer to learn about Well,
109
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.560
I think I think you brought up multiple really interesting points,
110
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.160
So let me explore a couple of them. Number one,
111
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.560
the importance of mentoring. Because you made a comment like
112
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.240
when you first started out, you made a lot of mistakes.
113
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.560
I'm assuming that's because you didn't have guidance. You were
114
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.920
going to do a gym banging a bunch of iron.
115
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.800
Maybe you're hurting yourself, you're sore because you didn't really
116
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.879
have a coach, you didn't have somebody really knew what
117
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:30.399
they was doing.
118
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.920
I'm assuming right, absolutely correct. Yes, I mean I was
119
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.160
reading magazines, but they're very misleading. The media could be
120
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.199
very misleading unfortunately with things like that.
121
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.040
So mm, and then this whole concept, I'm going to
122
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.360
say quality of life. I love this term health span.
123
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.360
It's kind of just because it really says what it is.
124
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.279
But I think, and correct me if I'm wrong or
125
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.000
you have a different vision. It really It's about choices, right,
126
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.639
I mean absolutely, because I got to think. I mean,
127
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.759
I like to think i'd lead a healthy ish lifestyle,
128
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.839
and sure it could be better. But there's things that
129
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.480
are obvious choices in your diet, right, choices in exercising
130
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.360
or not exercising. I think it's I don't care how
131
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.199
healthy you are. Nobody's gonna argue if you're active, it's
132
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.879
better than being sedentary, right, Better to have healthy food
133
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.000
or at least what you think is healthy food compared
134
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.319
to lousy food. But do you have like a list,
135
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.839
like are there things you would say you you must
136
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.800
do if you want to maintain your health? I know
137
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.639
everybody's biology is different and their genetics is different, but
138
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.279
and there's is there a list of things like don't
139
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.639
do ever like like this? If you want to age
140
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.839
more quickly? Are do you have like a quick two
141
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.160
or three things you could rattle off there? Like I
142
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.040
want to live to one hundred and fifty? What should
143
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.160
I never do? It's not what I'm doing every day.
144
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:01.759
Let's see based on my experience and research. Thing, first
145
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.800
and foremost, the first thing everybody should do is get
146
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.079
rid of or get off of process ultra processed food,
147
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.639
noss benefits to it. You know, it doesn't do any good.
148
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:14.759
It creates inflammation.
149
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.079
Give you one example, give an example of processed food,
150
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:18.759
just in case it.
151
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.079
Have fast food.
152
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.079
Okay, process no big max, no big Max.
153
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.639
Well, yeah, a lot of the fast food period is
154
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.319
not good. I don't care what restaurant.
155
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.480
Okay, Well, I'm not singling out McDonald's. I'm just saying
156
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.879
that I think that's sort of a epitome of a
157
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.519
fast food right. No, no, Taco Bell exactly. But it's
158
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.120
not just there. You can get processed food in the
159
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.720
supermarket all day if you want.
160
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.559
Yeah. So anything comes in a bag with a barcode
161
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:51.240
or a box, it's processed, Okay, And we eat a
162
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.679
whole real food. That's where the money is. Okay, that's
163
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.399
where you get the best return, whole real good, which
164
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.840
our ancestors used to do. Okay, you can't go wrong
165
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.080
in my opinion, with whole real food. So that's your
166
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.720
main focus. But then you want to avoid is all
167
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.960
this processed stuff because all the chemicals in it, it doesn't
168
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.159
clear your system. Well, it doesn't help you. Seed oils
169
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.559
are one of the main problems that we have now
170
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.799
as well, because that's in everything. You can go down
171
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.360
a rabbit hole on that for a while. So I'm
172
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.320
not gonna get into it right now. Just for the
173
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.480
sake of being efficient with.
174
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.519
Information, like all the hidden sugar and the corn syrup,
175
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:26.919
I mean.
176
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:33.960
Exactly, then you need to prioritize, prioritize, prioritize sleep. People
177
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.480
discount sleep, and what they don't understand is that's when
178
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.960
all the repair, all the building and cleaning processes are
179
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.240
doing their job, and you keep short circing sleep because
180
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.320
people are trying to be more efficient people be more productive.
181
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.399
It doesn't really work that way. You start short circling it,
182
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.799
you're gonna have more brain fatigue, you're gonna have more
183
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.480
lack of energy. You're gonna want to eat more sugary foods.
184
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.559
You keep your energy up, more caffeine, and that's not good.
185
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.720
You'd be monitoring your sleep, make sure you're getting quality,
186
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.279
quality deep sleep, and quality rim sleep, which is dream
187
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.519
sleep and deep sleep. You want to actually monitor those.
188
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.759
And if you're getting good, good sleep, you know and
189
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.559
you feel good. Once you start tracking it, you're gonna
190
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.840
realize the days you didn't get good sleep, what can
191
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.039
happen versus the days you've got good sleep. It's very important,
192
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.039
so no process to deep sleep. The next one is exercise.
193
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.039
You need to exercise to keep stress on the body.
194
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.120
Mild forms of stress is very good. It's called hormesis.
195
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.320
It doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, and that's what
196
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.320
exercises as a form of hormesis. There's other things too,
197
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.039
like fasting and things like that, but exercise helped with
198
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.200
autoplogy getting rid of old sentience itsels. It helps to
199
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.000
burn that off because old sense it sales can lead
200
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.440
to cancer because they can start to replicate because they're
201
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:53.279
damaged cells. So exercise is critical on top of the first.
202
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.480
Stress tucking like cardio or weightlifting or both.
203
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.399
So cardio has benefits, but your best return for the
204
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.799
money is resistance training because resistance training maintains joint strength,
205
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.360
bone density, and muscle is really your currency for longevity.
206
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.679
If you don't have muscle, you're not going to go
207
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.960
very far. If you have an extended hospital stay of
208
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.759
a week or more, you're gonna acterer for your muscle.
209
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.639
You're gonna lose that muscle and it's hard to get
210
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.240
it back when you lose it. And as we age,
211
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.399
you don't put it on in the easier because you
212
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.200
have an issue called antabolic resistance. What this means is
213
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.840
you don't retain your muscle as well and you don't
214
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.399
absorb your protein as well. So that's why you're want
215
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.679
to keep as much muscle as possible on your body
216
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.200
because that's going to keep you good, good metabolism. It's
217
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.639
going to keep your mitochondria, which is the energy system
218
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.120
of your body higher tremendous not of benefits. Cardio gives
219
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.480
you some benefits as far as cardiovascular, but it doesn't
220
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.879
do much for muscle at all.
221
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.240
Let me ask you this because there's a lot more
222
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.480
I want to get into. But is there a way
223
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.320
to come? Like let's say I got a half houred
224
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.519
exercise right, and I'm like, is there a way I
225
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.600
can Like could I walk with weights?
226
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:01.799
Like?
227
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.039
Is that get both does that check both boxes? Or
228
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.320
is that just wishful thinking?
229
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.720
Well, if you're walking with weights, you're going to have
230
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.080
some resistance in some specific areas that are affected, but
231
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.679
not enough how you're walking, how you're carrying the weight.
232
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.279
But you want to, in my opinion, to get the
233
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.799
best return, you want to train all your different muscle groups,
234
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.399
so you have a more balance physique, but also you
235
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.440
burn more energy. You're going to get a better return
236
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.840
because of the how the body is working those different
237
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.519
muscle groups. You have large muscle groups like your legs,
238
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.639
your back, and then your chest, your shoulders and arms. Okay,
239
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.200
if you're always training your legs and your arms, well
240
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.120
you're not getting things to your back and your chest
241
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.799
the way you would like, and so those areas are
242
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.200
going to suffer them not going to look as good
243
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.559
and not going to keep your posture as good. As
244
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.559
an example, you want to balance strategy. If you're going
245
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.879
to do resistant training cardio, which is fine, do you
246
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.120
resistance train first because that's when your collectaching levels are
247
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.759
the highest, because that's what you burn, and then you
248
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.639
can do some cardio, Like if you do thirty minutes
249
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.159
is through twenty minutes resistance training at as level, and
250
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.519
then ten minutes of cardio to finish up, so you
251
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.759
get the best of both worlds on a thirty minute
252
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:09.519
time span.
253
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.559
Interesting, Now I assume like you coach people, you mentor
254
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.919
people and all this stuff. Let me ask you this
255
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.600
longevity is I guess as a subset of health somehow right,
256
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.120
Like it's in that field, right, Yeah. Where do you
257
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:32.960
see this going? Is this something that's becoming more popular
258
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.840
in the mainstream? Is this something that everybody kind of
259
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.559
knows but just gets too busy with life. Where do
260
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.919
you see the future of longevity in terms of a
261
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.720
sort of a I don't mean consciousness like spiritually, I
262
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.120
mean in terms of people knowing about it, implementing things
263
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.600
that you would you would advocate well.
264
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.559
Longevity, in my opinion, based on what I've been learning
265
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.679
and paying attention to it, it's going to be huge
266
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.759
in the future because the people that are investing in
267
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.919
longevity are people that are successful because they want more energy,
268
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.519
they want to live longer, they want to enjoy life longer,
269
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.519
they want to have better mobility. And so these successful
270
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.000
people they're going to invest in it because if you
271
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:18.440
can live a nice quality hundred years versus being in
272
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.840
you know, incapacitated mentally, you know, mentioned things like that,
273
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.080
who wouldn't want it? You know, if you slow down aging,
274
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.679
you're going to slow down disease. And that's where the
275
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.480
money is. Let's slow down aging, let's slope not having disease,
276
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.440
and let's have a really healthy lifestyle and then see
277
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.039
alcohol we can take it. Now, some of the projections
278
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.000
they're making you are pretty extreme. They're saying we could
279
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.360
live the one hundred and fifty or even older. But
280
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.159
irregardless of that, it's what you can do today to
281
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.879
improve where you're going now. There is a lot of
282
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.960
science and a lot of stuff coming down to pipeline,
283
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.480
especially with AI now that's going to help improve the
284
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.679
quality life. But you know, like anything else, you've got
285
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.639
to be want to put some time and effort into it.
286
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.600
So that's where if you don't want to waste time,
287
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.559
you get with the right people that can help coach
288
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.240
you on that if you have an interest in it.
289
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.480
A lot of people take their health for granted because
290
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.159
they don't feel pain today, they don't feel well.
291
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.240
That's I think part of the problem. You don't worry
292
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.279
about it till you get sick.
293
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.480
Yeah, people don't wake up and go hey, I think
294
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:21.919
I got high blood pressure, or they won't wake up
295
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.240
and go hey, I think I got a high cholesterol issue.
296
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.240
With apple be Now, I didn't say LDL, I said
297
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:28.960
apple will be. There's a big difference between those as
298
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.919
far as cholesterol measurement. People are starting to wake up
299
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.879
to this, but they don't really realize it because the
300
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.879
way the medical community communicates cholesterol. So that's a whole
301
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.440
another rabbit hole we can go down. But these are
302
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.679
things that people are looking for better answers to get
303
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.879
a better return. And if you can have good quality energy,
304
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.200
good quality sex, drive, and you're feeling good about yourself
305
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.399
with confidence, who wouldn't want more of that? But if
306
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.519
you go with what's going on in the media right
307
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:59.399
now on the mainstream, with the current food system which
308
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.600
is toxic, you're going to be like the rest of them.
309
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:03.399
You're gonna be looking to get on a g LP
310
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.480
one or some of the analyst to try to fix
311
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:07.720
all the damage you did in the past.
312
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:08.840
Mm hmm.
313
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.440
You can all be corrected naturally as well, but it
314
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.759
depends on how much work you want to put into it.
315
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.080
Me let me ask you this question, and I don't
316
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.720
this is not meant to be political or any criticism,
317
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.559
but where do you where? Where do you? You kind
318
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.080
of mentioned this a little bit, but Western medicine famous
319
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.440
for you don't feel good to take a drug, or
320
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.559
you don't feel good to get a surgery, right, it's
321
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.200
we've long since unfortunately abandoned this sort of basis of
322
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:43.720
natural uh natural health. Right. Where do you stand on that?
323
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:44.200
Is?
324
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.039
Is there a place for that at all? Or do
325
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.360
you think people almost have to replace their thinking? Like
326
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.120
if you if I came to you as a client,
327
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.399
You're probably going to do some sort of analysis, Steve,
328
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.679
what are you doing now? What are you and what's
329
00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:01.000
your what's your diary of stuff? But you know, where
330
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.320
do you stand on this? Maybe philosophically a little bit,
331
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.880
but more from a practical standpoint. If I have a
332
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.119
heart attack, I'm going to the emergency room. But I'm
333
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.240
saying you're talking more like day to day lifestyle to
334
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.559
minimize health risks and maximize health optimization or as you say,
335
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.319
health span. Right, But to talk about that a little
336
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.759
bit arm them.
337
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.960
Okay, So if you have an acute issue heart attack, accident,
338
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:27.319
or whatever, the medical community is their top shelf. Okay,
339
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.279
they do really good on that. If you have an
340
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:35.359
issue that's systemic and that it can't be cleared up
341
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:40.039
with a prescription, then we're talking about a root cause problem.
342
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.839
The medical community doesn't do root cost solutions. Now they're
343
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.839
starting moving that direction to some degree. Some doctors are,
344
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.559
which is awesome, but it's very few and far between unfortunately.
345
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.799
So the medical community is a prescription based diagnosis and
346
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.720
if they can't do a prescription, they're not really going
347
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:59.880
to be it'll help you, and that's how they roll.
348
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.680
So that's what the current problems are. They don't get
349
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.200
into the root cause. Well, what's causing the root cause problem? Well,
350
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.759
you know, let's see what you're doing on nutrition, because
351
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:13.319
nutrition and supplementation those that's the raw materials you need
352
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.960
to function at a high level. If you take in
353
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.519
poor fuel like in a gas tank, you know what's
354
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:21.960
going to happen over time. It's going to create corrosion,
355
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.039
it's going to create other problems, and that's what's going
356
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.519
on with our food system and that's a huge problem.
357
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.960
Let alone water. You got to have good clean water
358
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.119
and if you're not even drinking filtered water, you're living dangerously.
359
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.160
And also I wouldn't recommend drinking all your filtered water
360
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.079
through bottled water because there's a lot of microplastics in
361
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.960
that these days unfortunately, so glass is always best in
362
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.480
that case, or staining the still containers and some of
363
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.599
the newer things that we have available because what you're
364
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.200
putting in your bond and your body has to clear
365
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.640
it out and filter it. So that's another key thing.
366
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.680
So with the medical community, use the guidance, but you
367
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.599
need to be your own advocate, do your own research.
368
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.519
There's a lot of good tools out there you can
369
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.519
and be careful using AI. Now AI has some good information,
370
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.400
but AI is using the data that was given coming
371
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.319
from poor studies and it's recommending it. You need to
372
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.839
wait through that. That's what I found. So when don't
373
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.400
you come to using AI. I don't necessarily believe everything
374
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.359
in chat GPT. I tend to look at perplexity AI
375
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.319
for medical reasons because it's kind of footnotes where the
376
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.079
sources came from a lot better than what does a
377
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:25.119
chat GPT has.
378
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:32.799
Another example, listen Steve Green here my guest armin Armin
379
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:39.559
Echo Barger, expert in wellness, health span, lifestyle for fitness, longevity.
380
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.799
I hope you're enjoying this conversation. I'm getting motivated a
381
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.119
soon as we get I want to go grab some
382
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:48.799
barbells man do something. But listen, every time, this is
383
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.279
about the success journey. You can have all the success
384
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:52.880
financially you want not going to help you if you're
385
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.880
laying in a hospital bed or worse. Right, So there's
386
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.519
an absolute one hundred I believe, one hundred percent place
387
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:00.759
for what ARM is bringing to us today. If you're
388
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.200
enjoying this, please share it. That's what this whole podcast
389
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.160
is about. It's about getting information that can help you
390
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.039
and people you know and people they know as much
391
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.319
as we can. So let me ask you a couple
392
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:12.839
of questions, and we're going to start to wrap up
393
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:18.920
a little bit. Somebody wants to work with you. Is
394
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.119
there a certain point in time, like, oh, I turned forty,
395
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.039
I gotta call Arman, or I turned fifty, I gotta
396
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.839
call Arman? Or is there some trigger point? Because I
397
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.000
think truthfully, if somebody's basically feeling good, they're probably not
398
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.759
worrying about it right or wrong? Right? But what would
399
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.400
be an event or something that might say, hey, listen,
400
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.400
I really need to have a conversation with an expert
401
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.079
in this field, no different than to move with anything else. Right,
402
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.359
you know you can't read, you get glasses, But what
403
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.519
would be that? What would be some trigger points maybe
404
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.400
or some events small or large that are an age
405
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.480
number where they should start to reach out to somebody
406
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.039
like yourself.
407
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:01.000
Well, that's a yeah, that's a pretty broad question.
408
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.960
It's a leading question. I'm just trying to get people
409
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:03.279
to say.
410
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.599
So there is some parts to that. So I would say,
411
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.960
first and foremost, if you don't feel as good as
412
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.079
you used to feel, and you need to start thinking
413
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.799
about what you're doing. Because when you feel good, you
414
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:16.400
kind of live on the edge a little bit. You
415
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:18.640
party a little longer, you drink a little more, you
416
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.119
get a little less sleep. You know, you try to
417
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.680
do more. Okay, Well, when things start leveling out and
418
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.519
not being what they used to be, yeah, you need
419
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.400
to start checking into what's going on. You need to
420
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:34.440
re evaluate everything you're doing. Generally, if you're living a
421
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.920
pretty good lifestyle, I'm not living too hard with drugs
422
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.640
and too much alcohol and other things, you're probably gonna
423
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.720
be pretty good to your thirties. Now, there are issues
424
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.160
with people with hormone levels because of our toxic food
425
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.480
systems that have depleted hormone levels at an earlier age. Again,
426
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.440
that's a symptom based thing, So that's what I'm talking about.
427
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.799
But generally after forty things are going to be slowing
428
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.519
down as well, and if you're not feel really good
429
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.759
after forty, then you definitely need to start doing some analysis.
430
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.039
And so my first recommendation on that is do some
431
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.319
very very comprehensive lab work to see where you actually are.
432
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.119
You need to look under the hood and see what's
433
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.000
going on. And it's a I rarely have people do
434
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.799
my lab panel to come back with a perfect score
435
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.799
or even a decent score, because there's a lot of
436
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.079
things that they don't even understand, and the medical community,
437
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:28.160
unfortunately isn't doing that. So anytime you and then on
438
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.279
top of that, if you're lost muscle and you can't
439
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.559
seem to get it back, you've got too much body fat,
440
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.119
you're frustrated what you're doing. Uh, you're just your energy
441
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.039
levels are in the tank. You can't function well mentally,
442
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.200
you're starting to lose your edge. You need to start
443
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:47.039
reevaluating things. That would be a real simple format because
444
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.079
that happened at any age. And I work with people
445
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:55.240
from you know, thirty, mostly from thirty to seventy and
446
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.039
up okay, and some people when they get into sixties
447
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.640
and seventy exapt you're like, well, there's nothing you can do. Well,
448
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.039
that's absolutely wrong, and that's incorrect. There's plenty you can
449
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.799
do and you'd be surprised. So I'm just letting that
450
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.079
be out that I'm sixty two, so I'm not seventy.
451
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.839
I don't know what it feels like to be at seventy,
452
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:14.279
but I can tell you what it feels like to
453
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:15.960
be at sixty two, what it felt like to be
454
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.720
at forty would it felt like to be fifty?
455
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.720
But in your case, I mean, I think most people,
456
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:24.240
given the story you've told, we're pretty athletic. You know
457
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.160
we're working pretty hard. I mean weightlifting is not exactly
458
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:32.279
an easy sport, right, I mean, I mean it takes
459
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.519
a lot of dedication, takes a lot of physical effort.
460
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:36.759
So I think most people would say, hey, this guy
461
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.400
was paying his dues, this guy was pushing it, probably
462
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.319
more than the average person, right, And even in your case,
463
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.039
you started to hit a wall. Well maybe that's not
464
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:47.720
the best way to say it, but you reached the
465
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:50.799
point where your performance wasn't what it was at some point,
466
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.039
which is what led you to make this evaluation, which
467
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:57.319
has led you into this career. I guess if you
468
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.559
want to call it that. So everybody is going to
469
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:02.400
at some point. This is the problem getting older and
470
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:08.160
nobody lives forever. Two quick questions is we haven't really
471
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.960
broken down into gender, but same consideration for females and males.
472
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:17.079
I mean, maybe it's different how it manifests, but would
473
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.759
you approach a woman's goals this way different than a man's.
474
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.559
Yeah, there's a little bit of variance there. You know,
475
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:27.400
men have a certain Men produce more male hormones. There
476
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:31.200
are a certain way I work with men. Females have
477
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.799
multiple hormones. They have a lot higher amounts of hormones.
478
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.559
They have up to thirty five different types of estrogens
479
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.359
as an example. Okay, so what the female, It's going
480
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.079
to be a little bit different because they also have
481
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.200
different goals as more as how they want to look.
482
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.480
So I based it on what they want to feel
483
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:51.839
like with how they want to look, and then how
484
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.240
their health is. So there is variants on both of
485
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.880
those and so they are going to be customized. But
486
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.559
all this is the customization has been based on doing
487
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:05.720
a deep dive interview about what they've learned before, what
488
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:09.000
their beliefs are really are today, and where they'd like
489
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:10.920
to go. And that's how I work with people, and
490
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.200
we want to fix it to where it's going to
491
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:15.839
do what they wanted to do and make it part
492
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.160
of their lifestyle that they want, not a cookie cutter deal.
493
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:20.519
This is how it works, and there's no out and
494
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.119
there's no other options. So I have to research a
495
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.559
lot of things with clients depending on what kind of
496
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.119
things that come up in the lab work. And it's
497
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.920
amazing what can come up in the lab work, and
498
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:31.799
I can get into the rabbit hole all kinds of
499
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.440
stuff on that. But you know, you need to have
500
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.400
a strategy if you want to really have a good,
501
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.759
healthy lifespan and also look and feel the way you
502
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.519
want to look. Because there's people that in their sending
503
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.400
these look phenomenal because they've done the work and it does.
504
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:49.200
That'd be difficult. You just need to know what to
505
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:51.400
do and you needn't know how to sort through that.
506
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:53.160
And that's why you help people. You sort through the
507
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.359
garbage that's in the media. There's a lot of garbage
508
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.279
in the media and they're just trying to sell stuff,
509
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.799
products and things like that, and the reality is some
510
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:03.960
things are necessary and a lot of them aren't.
511
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.440
How do people reach you. I hope anybody's listening saying, man,
512
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.160
I need a piece of this. It's not working what
513
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.680
I'm doing. How do they reach you? And we're going
514
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.559
to put this in the show notes losing you driving
515
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:20.759
or listening in some capacity. Uh, you gave me an email, Arma,

eleit Exact Method Health Partners is for the individuals. And

00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.079
I also have a competition segment where I train people
523
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:47.160
for competition as well. But you can find me on
524
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.279
all social media if you just type in my name,
525
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.640

going to pop up with all kinds of stuff as well.
527
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.160
So just using these names should get you most places.
528
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.720
Well well with your brand. They're armand Arma's got to
529
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.079
give away. He's given away a nutrition manual. All you
530
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:08.400
gotta do is reach out to him.
531
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:10.960
Yeah, just reach out to him. It could be social media,
532
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.599
it could be just reference the show that you know
533
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:17.400
you got the information on, and I'll give you this.
534
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.119
It's normally nine nine dollars for the manual and it
535
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:23.319
deals with insulin management and car management because that's what
536
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.640
creates most people's health problems and excess body It's a
537
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.039
very good manual. It's well detailed, it's small and short brief,
538
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.200
but it gives you some insight on how you should
539
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:36.720
approach your nutrition if you're dealing with again obesity, too
540
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.359
much body fat, or you just want to optimize your
541
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.119
which is.
542
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:47.799
Like nine of the marming population. Beautiful army. This was great.
543
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.079
I'm sold, man. I mean, I hope I'm as healthy
544
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:55.880
as you. Well I'm older than you actually, but listen,
545
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:59.200
I think it comes down to this just a choice,
546
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.599
right you and choose.
547
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:01.200
To try to guilty.
548
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:04.680
Some people get bad breaks genetically or but ultimately you
549
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.000
know you got to pass. You can go down, and
550
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:08.799
you got a lot your time, you got a lot
551
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.400
your your efforts and your finances to some degree to
552
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:16.839
making these kind of choices. There anything we did not
553
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.599
get into that you just want to mention or talk
554
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.839
about quickly before we go into our wrap up.
555
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.559
Well, I mean there's there's just so many things that
556
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.079
that can be discussed. But my thing is first and
557
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.599
foremost that people really need to focus on. Just be
558
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.279
your own advocate. Trust all the other systems that are
559
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.799
out there. You need to do some uh you know,
560
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:44.400
get second and third opinions, because it's just there's just
561
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.039
more available now and so you have a lot of choices.
562
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.000
And but then you need to, you know, find the
563
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:54.200
right resources that you trust, that you believe, that you're
564
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:56.799
agreeing with to help you with where you want to go,
565
00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:59.359
because it's about you at the end of the day.
566
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.200
And then everybody wants to sell you stuff.
567
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.720
Let's just be real, Okay, Okay, it's hard to separate
568
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:10.039
this from the capitalism. Yeah, that's the trouble.
569
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.279
If you're on your own advocate and get your own
570
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.559
people that you'd like and trust to battance things off,
571
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:17.440
it's like having a good CPA. It's like having a
572
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.960
good financial advisor. It's like having all you know again,
573
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:23.799
that's what we're talking about. Find the right sources that
574
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.160
you can work off so it works for you. That's
575
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:28.920
that's what I would say is really important. I mean,
576
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:30.920
I'm here to help people, but at the same time.
577
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:34.160
You know, I can't help everybody anyways, So be your
578
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:36.640
own advocate and learn things and do some of the
579
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:38.720
do some of the takeaways we've thrown in here to
580
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:40.599
work off of, and then you can you can start
581
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.160
building on that.
582
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.039
Love it, love it and listen, Let's be real, this
583
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:46.240
isn't going to be something to changes in two days.
584
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:51.799
This is a long term, uh step stages kind of thing.
585
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.880
But it's got to start someplace. So maybe listening to
586
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.000
this with that precipitating event for some of you out there,
587
00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:01.759
make through an experience podcast hand arm and you want
588
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:03.880
to play My favorite game I have with my guests
589
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.559
are phave five. Sure, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm
590
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:09.559
going to give you a topic. You tell me about
591
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:14.559
your favorite thing, and that topic is okay color. I
592
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:22.519
like red red nice food for me, it's carecake, karaoke
593
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:28.559
with organic carrots and like you know, all milk personally
594
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.359
milled like my wife makes and a lot of people
595
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.440
will vouch it. She makes fantastic caricake.
596
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.799
Just made you think it's like a cari cake. It's
597
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:40.400
to me, it's really good. That are BlackBerry copper. That's it.
598
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.880
I'm getting hungry music.
599
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.000
Generations. You see, tough one. One my favorite song is
600
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.559
the Who. Babbo Riley is one of my favorites.
601
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.839
Out here in the fields. Yeah, look at you. Who
602
00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.319
are doing a big just to date this. They're doing
603
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:04.759
a giant sort of eighth farewell tour. Farewell, the farewell, farewell,
604
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:09.400
farewell tour. But a place to visit. You live in
605
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.599
a nice place.
606
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.119
But I live in Florida's I really enjoyed Florida again.
607
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:20.240
I traveled a few places, pretty pretty good. But that's
608
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:20.759
a tough one.
609
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:23.079
Off the top, there's so many places.
610
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:25.799
Getting ready to go to Africa next year. My wife
611
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:27.839
really helped Ben on going to Africa.
612
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:29.799
Am I was the same way, I've got to do
613
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:30.319
a safari.
614
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.880
It's just like gig and all that. So unfortunately, but
615
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.680
you know, I bought out of there after I get done.
616
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.480
You got like a hero, you got a person, like
617
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:49.400
a role model. I mean you mentioned Arnold, well, Arnold
618
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.279
to us you know this generation, but you know bodybuilders,
619
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.839
there's somebody you know that that you really feel has
620
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:57.000
motivated you.
621
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:02.079
Well. Arnold was probably the first one, but in the
622
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.200
world of business, probably been pretty impressive with Elon Mosk.
623
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.359
I mean that probably a pretty common one, but you know,
624
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.880
kind of analyzed him a lot of different ways, and
625
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.759
the guy has really good decision making capacity in so
626
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.880
I think that he's a good guy to follow on
627
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:19.880
that just that's my opinion.
628
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.119
Well, if the scorecard is how much money you made,
629
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.720
he's doing pretty well, right.
630
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.079
Yeah, but not that he has good reflections on other
631
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:32.400
topics too that I found with I agree with most
632
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:32.839
of the time.
633
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:35.160
You know what I think the key is is surrounding
634
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.680
yourself with good Nobody can do everything exactly. I've had
635
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.039
a whole series of podcasts just on this exact topic.
636
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:44.240
Those are you long term listeners around episodes sixty five
637
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:49.200
to eighty of surrounding yourself, of realizing you can't be
638
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:56.359
all things to everything, and offloading and delegating to quality people.
639
00:32:56.480 --> 00:33:02.319
And sometimes that means whipping out the checkbook. But it's impossible,
640
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:05.160
especially as an entrepreneur, to wear every hat that you
641
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:09.279
have to wear well. You want to focus on what
642
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.200
your zone of genius is and what you're passionate about
643
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.519
and let all the other stuff that contendially get in
644
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:22.519
a way be handled by professionals. This was great, man,
645
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.240
I appreciate you coming on. I hope this if listen,
646
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.039
I always say things like this, I'm gonna say a
647
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:31.559
little differently today. If this helps one person possitively impact
648
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:35.240
their life, this was a success, it would helps ten fantastic,
649
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:38.200
it helps a thousand, great, great, great. You know how
650
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:42.119
to reach the man here, reach out see what he says.
651
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.920
You know, and maybe this is something you need to
652
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.960
take very seriously at some stage of your life. Maybe
653
00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:50.559
it's something you can phase into. I'm gonna want to
654
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:54.160
thank you again. And you know, I think we got
655
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:56.079
a lot to talk about. I got I usually take
656
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:57.920
a lot of notes, but I got two pages notes.
657
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.519
That's very rare. I have a guest and usually I
658
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:03.839
run out after one. Listen. I was going to say,
659
00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:06.279
stay healthy, but I think you're already there, So uh.
660
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:07.119
That's the plan.
661
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.480

00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:21.559
isn't all about the bottom line. What's the point having
665
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.039
one hundred million dollars if you're laying in the hospital
666
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:27.639
bed or worse, and it's kind of your own doing
667
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.559
sometimes because you make bad choices. Think about what you're doing,
668
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.639
Think about what you're eating, think about what you drinking,
669
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:35.400
think about what you're doing every day. I get it,
670
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.360
got to pay the rent. You got to take care
671
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:42.440
of number one sometimes too, right, not not twenty four hours,
672
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.960
just dedicated. It's all about habit, right, people know, I
673
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:47.960
get a five in the morning. I exercise every day
674
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:49.679
from five to six or six thirty in the morning.
675
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:51.760
I may not be doing the right things because it's
676
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.039
a lot of its cardio, but even so it's better
677
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.840
and laying in bed. So all right, listen, if you
678
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.400
like what's hurt today, please share, Please get the word out.
679
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.760
It's not my ego. I don't want to. I don't
680
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:05.760
care if I have a million followers, but I want
681
00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:10.079
a million people to hear what's important. Okay, Arman, thanks again,
682
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:12.719
appreciate it. Maybe we'll get you back on the show
683
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:21.119
again sometime soon. And everybody else, what ostaa Vista, who
684
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:26.880
famously said that in a movie Asta Lovista baby. All right,
685
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:28.039
I'll see everybody next time.
