Bigger wheels do not fix potholes.
It's a fantastic saying, Hey, this
2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:18.320
ain't about rollerblading, It's really not. It's about the fact that, as
3
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:23.039
you know, I've got some roller
blades of Christmas and trying to get out
4
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:29.879
regularly both Saturdays and Sundays with my
seven year old daughter, and trying to
5
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.200
get out a few times to join
the week as well, and I've got
6
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:39.439
some eighteen meal wheels, and I
don't think I've been out on the sidewalks
7
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:46.719
and the pavements of the UK without
hitting a cracking a road or a pothole
8
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.920
or something in just ending up on
my ass. Can I say that?
9
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:59.119
On this podcast? Ended up on
my bottom? And someone said, get
10
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.679
some bigger wheels, because by definition, the bigger the wheels are, the
11
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:11.799
less you will, you know,
get caught in a hole that will,
12
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:17.840
you know, trip you up.
So that okay, good points. So
13
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:23.280
I've been obsessed is a strong word. I don't think I've been obsessed,
14
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:30.120
but I've been doing some research the
last probably two weeks on bigger wheels one
15
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:37.840
hundred and twenty five meals. So
yeah, one hundred and twenty five meal
16
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:45.120
wheels pretty much what sort of a
seventy to eighty percent bigger. Yeah,
17
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.760
that'd be better. I mean I'll
fall over less, I get out and
18
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:56.239
about more, get some more exercise, it'd be a smoother ride. Bish
19
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:01.000
bosh, get on in order.
And I just so happened to Ring.
20
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.359
I saw his YouTube video and then
they had a phone number on there.
21
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.199
Gave him a call and just said
what do you think? In I just
22
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.280
explained my situation. I'm forty eight
years old, I've only been skating six
23
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:21.400
months and what are you thinking?
And he straightaway went His opening comment was
24
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:30.439
bigger wheels don't solve potholes or don't
repair potholes or something, and I giggled,
25
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:37.199
and he then went on to explain
that you're looking you might be looking
26
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:46.960
at the wrong metric, the wrong
thing. You're solving an issue by focusing
27
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:53.000
on the by not you need to
identify the core issue and then consider whether
28
00:02:53.439 --> 00:03:01.159
your solution has identified the core solution. And I then put the core problem
29
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.759
and then put the solution in place
for it. Right. That makes sense.
30
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:12.800
I haven't butchered that too much.
And it also reminds me to I
31
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.879
heard a story a few years ago
where I think it was the University of
32
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.479
Canada or something, one of the
universities in Canada, the business school we're
33
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:30.000
working with. It could have been
hospitals in Asia, somewhere in Asia at
34
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:40.599
least to reduce waiting times. And
apparently this one student didn't quite understand the
35
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.199
assignment, got it all wrong,
missed a few lectures or something, and
36
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:54.039
came up with this theory that a
lot of people in Asia, they get
37
00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.000
discharged from hospital and then have to
return within sort of the first ten day,
38
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.840
is because of complications with their health
because there's just not the experience and
39
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:12.039
expertise at home and knowledge to be
able to support that recovery. So what
40
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:19.439
they identified was, you know,
get better sort of documentation and training for
41
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:26.959
those at home on how to support
their their family members, and therefore it's
42
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.399
going to massively reduce waiting times.
And apparently, you know, when the
43
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:40.639
whole entire university came up with looking
at appointment systems and how people get sort
44
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:48.120
of initially checked and then referred,
and yeah, all that type of opening
45
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:55.120
times and all this type of thing, this one student who misunderstood the assignment
46
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.680
single handedly reduced the waiting times for
this particular area or country or what have
47
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:06.160
you. And again it's about understand
the core problem and then find the solution.
48
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:13.720
And I was with these skates thinking
potholes. I fall over a lot.
49
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.839
I need bigger wheels. And the
guy said to me, but you
50
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:23.319
also need to if you've only been
do this, you know, six months,
51
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.879
and you're forty eight years old,
you need to build up the strength
52
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.000
in your calfs and your ligaments and
your tendons and your knees and your ankles.
53
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.040
And that's part of the issue.
As soon as you hit the slightest
54
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:43.439
bump it's probably uncomfortable. Well,
if you can stick with it in other
55
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.839
six months, get out every day, and gradually you won't notice those because
56
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:54.079
your ankles and your knees were that
more as shockers orbits, and your muscles
57
00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:00.199
and your calf will become you know, the muscles required to support your there
58
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.800
will grow. And that's that's the
core issue. Don't you know potholes are
59
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.439
always an issue in any country.
Don't think it's just a thing that needs
60
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.759
bigger wheels. And I'm like,
wow, okay, you've put completely a
61
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:23.279
different light on this, and I
appreciate it. And this is a podcast
62
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:28.720
about confidence and self esteem and motivation. So what does that all mean?
63
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:42.199
It's it's it's to me a common
issue that people who struggle from motivational motivational
64
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:49.839
issues from the ability or the lack
of ability to actually take action and the
65
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:59.560
drive required two succeed, and those
who suffer from confidence self esteem. You're
66
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.160
a place where quite often you're not
addressing the core issue. I've heard the
67
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.680
analogy used quite a few times.
Once I lose a bit more weight,
68
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.319
I'll start dating. Well, you're
confusing the two issues here. The thing
69
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.000
isn't once I lose weight, I
will have What you're saying is once I
70
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.680
lose weight, I'll be more confident
and then I can start dating people.
71
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:29.759
No, and that's two completely different
things. You're mixing your dietary habits with
72
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.360
your ability to socialize and interact with
people. There, it's completely different things.
73
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.120
You're looking at the core issue here, which is your confidence and self
74
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.839
esteem. Then if you address that
in the first place, then that's nothing
75
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.480
to do with whether you can go. You know, that's nothing to do
76
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.639
with your diet, is it.
It's just to do with addressing your confidence
77
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.279
and self esteem to give you enough
to be able to go out and talk
78
00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:01.759
to people and start potentially dating them. And the same rule apply with everything
79
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.199
and anything you're looking to achieve.
You have to think, consider what the
80
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.399
core issue is. It's difficult,
it's not an easy thing to do.
81
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.240
Some of these things are deep rooted. It's things that you know, we'll
82
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.040
go back to your childhood. There
are things that need to be explored over
83
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.279
time. Quite often you need the
help of someone else, maybe someone who
84
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.720
is not close to you, because
again they have biases, they have preconceived
85
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.080
ideas about what's right and what's wrong
and why you're in this position. I'm
86
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.480
not suggesting as me. It can
be me. It can be me if
87
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:45.200
you want to get in touch,
but let it be somebody. Let somebody
88
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.559
help you with this. Spend the
time to do this, Spend the time
89
00:08:48.600 --> 00:09:01.200
to get this right. Think about
it. It's the core foundational skills attributes
90
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:11.879
required for you to to grow as
a human being and succeed and be a
91
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.480
better person tomorrow than you are today. If you want to talk about this
92
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.200
in more detail, if you want
to talk to me about this very issue,
93
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:28.120
get in touch. Would love,
would love to help you. On

to address those core issues, even
if it's just five minutes, even if
100
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.279
it's get it yourself a journal and
just start making a few notes. Do
101
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.440
it today. Can you do that? Of course you can. I know

00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.839
I need bigger wheels. And the
guy said to me, but you
50
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:23.319
also need to if you've only been
do this, you know, six months,
51
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.879
and you're forty eight years old,
you need to build up the strength
52
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.000
in your calfs and your ligaments and
your tendons and your knees and your ankles.
53
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.040
And that's part of the issue.
As soon as you hit the slightest
54
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:43.439
bump it's probably uncomfortable. Well,
if you can stick with it in other
55
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.839
six months, get out every day, and gradually you won't notice those because
56
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:54.079
your ankles and your knees were that
more as shockers orbits, and your muscles
57
00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:00.199
and your calf will become you know, the muscles required to support your there
58
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.800
will grow. And that's that's the
core issue. Don't you know potholes are
59
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.439
always an issue in any country.
Don't think it's just a thing that needs
60
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.759
bigger wheels. And I'm like,
wow, okay, you've put completely a
61
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:23.279
different light on this, and I
appreciate it. And this is a podcast
62
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:28.720
about confidence and self esteem and motivation. So what does that all mean?
63
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:42.199
It's it's it's to me a common
issue that people who struggle from motivational motivational
64
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:49.839
issues from the ability or the lack
of ability to actually take action and the
65
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:59.560
drive required two succeed, and those
who suffer from confidence self esteem. You're
66
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.160
a place where quite often you're not
addressing the core issue. I've heard the
67
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.680
analogy used quite a few times.
Once I lose a bit more weight,
68
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.319
I'll start dating. Well, you're
confusing the two issues here. The thing
69
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.000
isn't once I lose weight, I
will have What you're saying is once I
70
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.680
lose weight, I'll be more confident
and then I can start dating people.
71
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:29.759
No, and that's two completely different
things. You're mixing your dietary habits with
72
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.360
your ability to socialize and interact with
people. There, it's completely different things.
73
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.120
You're looking at the core issue here, which is your confidence and self
74
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.839
esteem. Then if you address that
in the first place, then that's nothing
75
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.480
to do with whether you can go. You know, that's nothing to do
76
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.639
with your diet, is it.
It's just to do with addressing your confidence
77
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.279
and self esteem to give you enough
to be able to go out and talk
78
00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:01.759
to people and start potentially dating them. And the same rule apply with everything
79
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.199
and anything you're looking to achieve.
You have to think, consider what the
80
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.399
core issue is. It's difficult,
it's not an easy thing to do.
81
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.240
Some of these things are deep rooted. It's things that you know, we'll
82
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.040
go back to your childhood. There
are things that need to be explored over
83
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.279
time. Quite often you need the
help of someone else, maybe someone who
84
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.720
is not close to you, because
again they have biases, they have preconceived
85
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.080
ideas about what's right and what's wrong
and why you're in this position. I'm
86
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.480
not suggesting as me. It can
be me. It can be me if
87
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:45.200
you want to get in touch,
but let it be somebody. Let somebody
88
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.559
help you with this. Spend the
time to do this, Spend the time
89
00:08:48.600 --> 00:09:01.200
to get this right. Think about
it. It's the core foundational skills attributes
90
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:11.879
required for you to to grow as
a human being and succeed and be a
91
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.480
better person tomorrow than you are today. If you want to talk about this
92
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.200
in more detail, if you want
