Welcome to Lifestyle Strength, your guide to mastering health and well-being in the real world.
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:14.233
I'm Ariel, a massage therapist with over a decade of experience in holistic health, and I'm here with Lucas, a seasoned fitness coach, who's transformed the lives of hundreds in Northwest Arkansas.
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:20.553
We're here to share real stories and expert insights about embracing a healthy lifestyle while balancing the everyday hustle.
00:00:20.553 --> 00:00:39.173
Join us as we explore practical ways to achieve wellness and thrive amidst life's challenges.
00:00:39.173 --> 00:00:53.411
I'd say it's a little more broad for men, just because physically like, it's way easier on them right to change, right like men can go up to 55, 60, then it's pretty.
00:00:53.411 --> 00:00:58.042
I mean anyone, anyone who does the work, I mean you're gonna change.
00:00:58.042 --> 00:01:09.126
Sure, women have a much more difficult time because of the hormonal shifts that happen from 35, 45, 45, 55, 55, 65.
00:01:09.126 --> 00:01:12.525
Our world is not conducive.
00:01:12.525 --> 00:01:19.066
There's so much that's affecting that hormonal balance.
00:01:20.283 --> 00:01:22.430
It's a really difficult thing for me as a coach.
00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:24.873
I can understand how hormones work scientifically'm.
00:01:24.873 --> 00:01:25.216
I'll never.
00:01:25.216 --> 00:01:29.468
I can understand how hormones work scientifically, but I will never get it.
00:01:29.468 --> 00:01:32.546
Yeah, they'll never get it Like they experience it Right.
00:01:32.546 --> 00:01:44.492
And so I'm very grateful for the women who do stick around, who do really awesome results and, you know, who put their faith in me to help them and they're willing to continue doing it Right.
00:01:44.492 --> 00:01:45.495
That means a lot.
00:01:45.495 --> 00:01:52.447
It means a lot more from them, because the guys is like you can, you got it so easy and you got it way easier.
00:01:52.447 --> 00:01:53.209
So I don't hear it.
00:01:53.209 --> 00:01:56.418
Like no, there's literally no excuse.
00:01:56.418 --> 00:01:58.286
Like you don't want to hear me complain about a workout we did.
00:01:58.667 --> 00:02:05.962
No, I mean no, there's it's.
00:02:05.983 --> 00:02:06.965
It's a way way more difficult, but no, I don't.
00:02:06.965 --> 00:02:07.969
I don't think there is a a magic age.
00:02:07.969 --> 00:02:09.955
Like everyone has a time in which it just it hits them.
00:02:09.955 --> 00:02:11.039
Yeah, and it doesn't matter.
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:24.026
And you shouldn't feel bad if you, you know, if you started thinking about it when you were 35 and you just turned 40 and you haven't taken actually shouldn't feel bad that you didn't do it when you were 35, like who cares?
00:02:24.026 --> 00:02:25.068
Just do it today.
00:02:25.068 --> 00:02:36.425
Yeah, I love the mentality just just do it today, because the worst that could happen is that you stay the same tomorrow.
00:02:36.425 --> 00:02:39.991
Right, that's the worst, right that can happen.
00:02:39.991 --> 00:02:47.204
But if you just do it today and then wake up tomorrow and you do it again and then you do it again, you're gonna see change.
00:02:47.204 --> 00:02:54.454
Yeah, I mean, we're all creatures of habit too, so if you create a new habit that you're going to do it, then it's, it becomes easy.
00:02:54.715 --> 00:03:09.467
Yeah, I think that's the hardest part is, people don't want to change their habits, and then, I mean, that's part of the thing I've realized too is like you change your habits eating habits, sleeping habits, everything, exercise habits Then it all works.
00:03:09.467 --> 00:03:16.066
You get these new habits that are great for you and then you just repeat them yeah, that's really simple.
00:03:16.066 --> 00:03:19.109
Yeah, it doesn't have to be all at once either.
00:03:19.109 --> 00:03:20.282
Right, you know you can.
00:03:20.282 --> 00:03:23.891
It's it can be a lot.
00:03:23.891 --> 00:03:29.252
You know, if you're not used to juggling a lot of things like, that's why it's been even more impressive.
00:03:29.252 --> 00:03:31.099
You know that, that that y'all have done it.
00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:34.871
I think part of your, the, the secret to your success, is y'all doing it together.
00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:44.008
I know, as as in being being very clear on your vision as a couple and as a family, um, and how you operate in your day to day.
00:03:44.008 --> 00:03:51.302
I think that has been a huge key for you both.
00:03:51.302 --> 00:03:54.330
We're both super competitive, so it's like you feed off.
00:03:54.330 --> 00:03:55.252
You've seen that.
00:03:55.252 --> 00:04:01.424
You see that when we do certain things feed off each other, you push each other and you also lift each other up, uh, which is really important.
00:04:01.463 --> 00:04:04.009
Most people don't you, they don't have that.
00:04:04.009 --> 00:04:19.605
Yeah, even even if both of their even both of them as spouses are doing training, um, it's, it can be kind of separate, because the struggles that one person have may not be the same struggles that another person has.
00:04:19.605 --> 00:04:26.060
Yeah, um, oftentimes I'd say more often than not it's only one of them is doing it and working on themselves.
00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:33.555
And that's even harder because, you know, like the mouse is like, well, what the hell?
00:04:33.555 --> 00:04:39.699
I don't feel like I need to make this change and I want to keep eating what I've been eating.
00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:42.285
Yeah, and that was me.
00:04:42.305 --> 00:04:46.738
That might be worse too if that person doesn't seem unfit or unhealthy.
00:04:46.738 --> 00:04:50.548
Right, you know, especially like I've coached a lot of women.
00:04:50.548 --> 00:05:05.053
Worse, they have a hard time and they're putting all this effort in and their husband is like just like semi-active, semi, like kind of yeah, still drinks, but like hasn't gotten big, or yeah, you know.
00:05:05.053 --> 00:05:06.519
And then there are problems.
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.906
There's health problems that are going to come later down the road.
00:05:08.906 --> 00:05:11.761
Yeah, you know, visually, yes, it's hard.
00:05:12.062 --> 00:05:14.648
Yeah, I would say that that was us before.
00:05:14.648 --> 00:05:19.144
We started this together and I'm so grateful that she said, no, we're gonna do this.
00:05:19.144 --> 00:05:24.355
And I was like, I mean, once I was on board, I was like so grateful for for that.
00:05:24.355 --> 00:05:32.374
Yeah, you know, it was just a great turnaround and um, yeah, I mean, we, we're, we're competitive with each other.
00:05:32.374 --> 00:05:49.744
Um, she's a great cheerleader and I want to be a great cheerleader for her at the same time, and that's, I think, like you have to want to do that stuff, I think, in your marriage, and even like relationship with anybody, it's like you have to be intentional about it and I think that's that's a big change too.
00:05:49.744 --> 00:05:58.911
It's like you know, realizing she needs support, just like she's supporting me, and that you know and knowing how to do that, yeah, and that's you navigate it.
00:05:58.911 --> 00:06:13.295
I mean, gosh, we've been married a long time now and it's like it's like it goes by so fast, but it's like, gosh, it's like it goes by so fast, right, but it's like it's like, you know, she's my person, she's she gets me and I know that she gets me and she calls me out, which is awesome, and I need that, yeah, in my life.
00:06:13.295 --> 00:06:16.278
I think most of us could use it, especially men we can need.
00:06:16.278 --> 00:06:21.011
We need a good woman to stand behind us and go hey, don't do that, or hey, go down this path.
00:06:21.011 --> 00:06:21.391
It's great.
00:06:21.391 --> 00:06:22.401
Yeah, like you're doing.
00:06:22.401 --> 00:06:23.622
Awesome, be talking about that.
00:06:23.663 --> 00:06:34.850
This morning, I was talking about that with a client of mine and you know, see, we were talking in regards to how she's always asking her husband and I'm guilty of this too.
00:06:34.850 --> 00:06:35.732
We're like, you know.
00:06:35.732 --> 00:06:37.221
She asked me like do something.
00:06:37.221 --> 00:06:38.605
Like, oh, yeah, I'll do it.
00:06:38.605 --> 00:06:42.627
Yeah, it's like she asked me like five times I still haven't done it.
00:06:42.627 --> 00:06:45.677
Later, yeah, and I it finally clicked with me.
00:06:45.697 --> 00:06:56.071
Then it was based off a conversation we had in the day about it's not like it's how it's communicated sometimes that maybe, maybe that's the secret don't tell them to do something.
00:06:56.071 --> 00:06:58.204
Like don't tell them like hey, and like go do this.
00:06:58.204 --> 00:06:59.968
Nobody wants to be micromanaged.
00:06:59.968 --> 00:07:02.362
Yeah, I was like give them shit for not doing it.
00:07:02.362 --> 00:07:11.370
Yeah, like put the pressure, make him, put the pressure on himself to do it right and you'll get whatever you want.
00:07:11.370 --> 00:07:12.333
Because that's how I am.
00:07:12.333 --> 00:07:13.841
I'm like I don't want, don't tell me what to do.
00:07:13.841 --> 00:07:15.927
Yeah, like I don't want to be told what to do by anybody.
00:07:15.927 --> 00:07:29.807
Yeah, but if you make me feel bad for not doing it or I'm like, oh man, she's called me out, yeah, then I'm gonna do it because I don't want to seem like, yeah, I don't seem like a sissy.
00:07:29.807 --> 00:07:31.553
Yeah, yeah, and that's right.
00:07:31.553 --> 00:07:37.288
So that was funny that that came up, because that was based off a conversation we had yesterday.
00:07:39.814 --> 00:07:41.476
So, chris, what would you say, wrapping up here?
00:07:41.476 --> 00:07:54.612
What would you say to somebody, maybe a dad, another fellow CEO, business owner, or even a couple who you know they're thinking about making a change.
00:07:54.612 --> 00:07:59.600
Maybe they're listening to this and and just searching for answers.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:00.502
They don't already go yet.
00:08:00.502 --> 00:08:01.286
What would you say to them?
00:08:01.286 --> 00:08:05.322
Well, first of all, you got to figure out how to want it.
00:08:05.322 --> 00:08:07.807
Um, we talked about that earlier.
00:08:08.428 --> 00:08:12.461
Um, we all have different reasons for wanting something.
00:08:12.461 --> 00:08:13.963
We all have different motivations.
00:08:13.963 --> 00:08:20.860
Uh, find what motivates you and use that as your fuel to you know, change your life.
00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:24.466
Um, I think we all need fitness in our life.
00:08:24.466 --> 00:08:37.235
We all need and when we say health, I think we always think doctor health, it's no, it's mental health, it's our physical health, it's our strength, it's our, our physical health, it's our strength, it's our, our will, it's.
00:08:37.235 --> 00:08:40.264
There's all these things involved with it that we don't think about as much.
00:08:40.264 --> 00:08:43.941
So it's like, it's like be able to self-examine.
00:08:43.941 --> 00:08:49.309
Um, think about how you can improve, why, why you want to improve.
00:08:50.056 --> 00:08:59.701
I think once you get down to the root of your problems, it, it and really kind of bring out like, hey, this is why I want to do this, or really change your life, then the rest of it's easy.
00:08:59.701 --> 00:09:14.221
I think, once you get started, you just got to figure it out and we're all so different, we all have these different life experiences and some had such a tough childhood and such a tough upbringing where some people had a great one and you have all the support system you need.
00:09:14.221 --> 00:09:20.109
And it's like finding in both scenarios we have to come to the same realization that there's motivation behind it.
00:09:20.109 --> 00:09:20.993
What are we here to do?
00:09:20.993 --> 00:09:21.635
What are we?
00:09:21.635 --> 00:09:22.960
Are we trying to get out of this?
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:23.301
And?
00:09:23.301 --> 00:09:46.768
And then, once you find it, magnify it so like like for me it was I needed the motivation, I needed a push, and then, once I got the push, I figured out you know how I can improve myself and it really helped me feel the rest of it and now I'm improving, hopefully, my family and our business and my relationships and just everything.
00:09:46.768 --> 00:09:47.788
It's just really changed.
00:09:47.788 --> 00:09:51.221
I mean, it's so like fulfilling.
00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:55.568
I guess once you like you look back and go I'm so proud that I did that.
00:09:55.568 --> 00:09:56.486
Yeah, like that's the thing.
00:09:56.486 --> 00:09:56.549
It's, like I've figured and go I'm so proud that I did that.
00:09:56.549 --> 00:09:57.327
Yeah, like that's the thing.
00:09:57.327 --> 00:10:00.460
It's like I've figured out how to make myself proud of me.
00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:02.645
Not be proud, you know, I don't.
00:10:02.645 --> 00:10:12.011
You've always grew up like oh, your parents are proud of you, or your grandparents or your family, or a spouse, whoever it's like, if, if I'm not proud of me, then the rest of it doesn't matter.
00:10:12.011 --> 00:10:26.596
I gotta be proud of myself for what I'm trying to accomplish, or what I'm accomplishing, what I'm working on, and it's like the self-awareness, the realization that we're all humans, we're going to screw up, and it's how we get back up and keep rocking and keep moving forward.
00:10:26.596 --> 00:10:29.506
There's the motivation right there.
00:10:29.506 --> 00:10:32.196
That's just you gotta, you gotta, you gotta keep moving.
00:10:32.196 --> 00:10:33.378
That's what I'll say, chris.
00:10:33.378 --> 00:10:34.600
Well said Well.
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.105
Uh, thanks for calling the podcast, thanks for joining us.
00:10:37.105 --> 00:10:37.746
Sure, I loved it.
00:10:37.746 --> 00:10:40.011
And thank you guys for listening.
00:10:40.011 --> 00:10:42.054

00:00:58.042 --> 00:01:09.126
Sure, women have a much more difficult time because of the hormonal shifts that happen from 35, 45, 45, 55, 55, 65.
00:01:09.126 --> 00:01:12.525
Our world is not conducive.
00:01:12.525 --> 00:01:19.066
There's so much that's affecting that hormonal balance.
00:01:20.283 --> 00:01:22.430
It's a really difficult thing for me as a coach.
00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:24.873
I can understand how hormones work scientifically'm.
00:01:24.873 --> 00:01:25.216
I'll never.
00:01:25.216 --> 00:01:29.468
I can understand how hormones work scientifically, but I will never get it.
00:01:29.468 --> 00:01:32.546
Yeah, they'll never get it Like they experience it Right.
00:01:32.546 --> 00:01:44.492
And so I'm very grateful for the women who do stick around, who do really awesome results and, you know, who put their faith in me to help them and they're willing to continue doing it Right.
00:01:44.492 --> 00:01:45.495
That means a lot.
00:01:45.495 --> 00:01:52.447
It means a lot more from them, because the guys is like you can, you got it so easy and you got it way easier.
00:01:52.447 --> 00:01:53.209
So I don't hear it.
00:01:53.209 --> 00:01:56.418
Like no, there's literally no excuse.
00:01:56.418 --> 00:01:58.286
Like you don't want to hear me complain about a workout we did.
00:01:58.667 --> 00:02:05.962
No, I mean no, there's it's.
00:02:05.983 --> 00:02:06.965
It's a way way more difficult, but no, I don't.
00:02:06.965 --> 00:02:07.969
I don't think there is a a magic age.
00:02:07.969 --> 00:02:09.955
Like everyone has a time in which it just it hits them.
00:02:09.955 --> 00:02:11.039
Yeah, and it doesn't matter.
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:24.026
And you shouldn't feel bad if you, you know, if you started thinking about it when you were 35 and you just turned 40 and you haven't taken actually shouldn't feel bad that you didn't do it when you were 35, like who cares?
00:02:24.026 --> 00:02:25.068
Just do it today.
00:02:25.068 --> 00:02:36.425
Yeah, I love the mentality just just do it today, because the worst that could happen is that you stay the same tomorrow.
00:02:36.425 --> 00:02:39.991
Right, that's the worst, right that can happen.
00:02:39.991 --> 00:02:47.204
But if you just do it today and then wake up tomorrow and you do it again and then you do it again, you're gonna see change.
00:02:47.204 --> 00:02:54.454
Yeah, I mean, we're all creatures of habit too, so if you create a new habit that you're going to do it, then it's, it becomes easy.
00:02:54.715 --> 00:03:09.467
Yeah, I think that's the hardest part is, people don't want to change their habits, and then, I mean, that's part of the thing I've realized too is like you change your habits eating habits, sleeping habits, everything, exercise habits Then it all works.
00:03:09.467 --> 00:03:16.066
You get these new habits that are great for you and then you just repeat them yeah, that's really simple.
00:03:16.066 --> 00:03:19.109
Yeah, it doesn't have to be all at once either.
00:03:19.109 --> 00:03:20.282
Right, you know you can.
00:03:20.282 --> 00:03:23.891
It's it can be a lot.
00:03:23.891 --> 00:03:29.252
You know, if you're not used to juggling a lot of things like, that's why it's been even more impressive.
00:03:29.252 --> 00:03:31.099
You know that, that that y'all have done it.
00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:34.871
I think part of your, the, the secret to your success, is y'all doing it together.
00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:44.008
I know, as as in being being very clear on your vision as a couple and as a family, um, and how you operate in your day to day.
00:03:44.008 --> 00:03:51.302
I think that has been a huge key for you both.
00:03:51.302 --> 00:03:54.330
We're both super competitive, so it's like you feed off.
00:03:54.330 --> 00:03:55.252
You've seen that.
00:03:55.252 --> 00:04:01.424
You see that when we do certain things feed off each other, you push each other and you also lift each other up, uh, which is really important.
00:04:01.463 --> 00:04:04.009
Most people don't you, they don't have that.
00:04:04.009 --> 00:04:19.605
Yeah, even even if both of their even both of them as spouses are doing training, um, it's, it can be kind of separate, because the struggles that one person have may not be the same struggles that another person has.
00:04:19.605 --> 00:04:26.060
Yeah, um, oftentimes I'd say more often than not it's only one of them is doing it and working on themselves.
00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:33.555
And that's even harder because, you know, like the mouse is like, well, what the hell?
00:04:33.555 --> 00:04:39.699
I don't feel like I need to make this change and I want to keep eating what I've been eating.
00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:42.285
Yeah, and that was me.
00:04:42.305 --> 00:04:46.738
That might be worse too if that person doesn't seem unfit or unhealthy.
00:04:46.738 --> 00:04:50.548
Right, you know, especially like I've coached a lot of women.
00:04:50.548 --> 00:05:05.053
Worse, they have a hard time and they're putting all this effort in and their husband is like just like semi-active, semi, like kind of yeah, still drinks, but like hasn't gotten big, or yeah, you know.
00:05:05.053 --> 00:05:06.519
And then there are problems.
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.906
There's health problems that are going to come later down the road.
00:05:08.906 --> 00:05:11.761
Yeah, you know, visually, yes, it's hard.
00:05:12.062 --> 00:05:14.648
Yeah, I would say that that was us before.
00:05:14.648 --> 00:05:19.144
We started this together and I'm so grateful that she said, no, we're gonna do this.
00:05:19.144 --> 00:05:24.355
And I was like, I mean, once I was on board, I was like so grateful for for that.
00:05:24.355 --> 00:05:32.374
Yeah, you know, it was just a great turnaround and um, yeah, I mean, we, we're, we're competitive with each other.
00:05:32.374 --> 00:05:49.744
Um, she's a great cheerleader and I want to be a great cheerleader for her at the same time, and that's, I think, like you have to want to do that stuff, I think, in your marriage, and even like relationship with anybody, it's like you have to be intentional about it and I think that's that's a big change too.
00:05:49.744 --> 00:05:58.911
It's like you know, realizing she needs support, just like she's supporting me, and that you know and knowing how to do that, yeah, and that's you navigate it.
00:05:58.911 --> 00:06:13.295
I mean, gosh, we've been married a long time now and it's like it's like it goes by so fast, but it's like, gosh, it's like it goes by so fast, right, but it's like it's like, you know, she's my person, she's she gets me and I know that she gets me and she calls me out, which is awesome, and I need that, yeah, in my life.
00:06:13.295 --> 00:06:16.278
I think most of us could use it, especially men we can need.
00:06:16.278 --> 00:06:21.011
We need a good woman to stand behind us and go hey, don't do that, or hey, go down this path.
00:06:21.011 --> 00:06:21.391
It's great.
00:06:21.391 --> 00:06:22.401
Yeah, like you're doing.
00:06:22.401 --> 00:06:23.622
Awesome, be talking about that.
00:06:23.663 --> 00:06:34.850
This morning, I was talking about that with a client of mine and you know, see, we were talking in regards to how she's always asking her husband and I'm guilty of this too.
00:06:34.850 --> 00:06:35.732
We're like, you know.
00:06:35.732 --> 00:06:37.221
She asked me like do something.
00:06:37.221 --> 00:06:38.605
Like, oh, yeah, I'll do it.
00:06:38.605 --> 00:06:42.627
Yeah, it's like she asked me like five times I still haven't done it.
00:06:42.627 --> 00:06:45.677
Later, yeah, and I it finally clicked with me.
00:06:45.697 --> 00:06:56.071
Then it was based off a conversation we had in the day about it's not like it's how it's communicated sometimes that maybe, maybe that's the secret don't tell them to do something.
00:06:56.071 --> 00:06:58.204
Like don't tell them like hey, and like go do this.
00:06:58.204 --> 00:06:59.968
Nobody wants to be micromanaged.
00:06:59.968 --> 00:07:02.362
Yeah, I was like give them shit for not doing it.
00:07:02.362 --> 00:07:11.370
Yeah, like put the pressure, make him, put the pressure on himself to do it right and you'll get whatever you want.
00:07:11.370 --> 00:07:12.333
Because that's how I am.
00:07:12.333 --> 00:07:13.841
I'm like I don't want, don't tell me what to do.
00:07:13.841 --> 00:07:15.927
Yeah, like I don't want to be told what to do by anybody.
00:07:15.927 --> 00:07:29.807
Yeah, but if you make me feel bad for not doing it or I'm like, oh man, she's called me out, yeah, then I'm gonna do it because I don't want to seem like, yeah, I don't seem like a sissy.
00:07:29.807 --> 00:07:31.553
Yeah, yeah, and that's right.
00:07:31.553 --> 00:07:37.288
So that was funny that that came up, because that was based off a conversation we had yesterday.
00:07:39.814 --> 00:07:41.476
So, chris, what would you say, wrapping up here?
00:07:41.476 --> 00:07:54.612
What would you say to somebody, maybe a dad, another fellow CEO, business owner, or even a couple who you know they're thinking about making a change.
00:07:54.612 --> 00:07:59.600
Maybe they're listening to this and and just searching for answers.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:00.502
They don't already go yet.
00:08:00.502 --> 00:08:01.286
What would you say to them?
00:08:01.286 --> 00:08:05.322
Well, first of all, you got to figure out how to want it.
00:08:05.322 --> 00:08:07.807
Um, we talked about that earlier.
00:08:08.428 --> 00:08:12.461
Um, we all have different reasons for wanting something.
00:08:12.461 --> 00:08:13.963
We all have different motivations.
00:08:13.963 --> 00:08:20.860
Uh, find what motivates you and use that as your fuel to you know, change your life.
00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:24.466
Um, I think we all need fitness in our life.
00:08:24.466 --> 00:08:37.235
We all need and when we say health, I think we always think doctor health, it's no, it's mental health, it's our physical health, it's our strength, it's our, our physical health, it's our strength, it's our, our will, it's.
00:08:37.235 --> 00:08:40.264
There's all these things involved with it that we don't think about as much.
00:08:40.264 --> 00:08:43.941
So it's like, it's like be able to self-examine.
00:08:43.941 --> 00:08:49.309
Um, think about how you can improve, why, why you want to improve.
00:08:50.056 --> 00:08:59.701
I think once you get down to the root of your problems, it, it and really kind of bring out like, hey, this is why I want to do this, or really change your life, then the rest of it's easy.
00:08:59.701 --> 00:09:14.221
I think, once you get started, you just got to figure it out and we're all so different, we all have these different life experiences and some had such a tough childhood and such a tough upbringing where some people had a great one and you have all the support system you need.
00:09:14.221 --> 00:09:20.109
And it's like finding in both scenarios we have to come to the same realization that there's motivation behind it.
00:09:20.109 --> 00:09:20.993
What are we here to do?
00:09:20.993 --> 00:09:21.635
What are we?
00:09:21.635 --> 00:09:22.960
Are we trying to get out of this?
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:23.301
And?
00:09:23.301 --> 00:09:46.768
And then, once you find it, magnify it so like like for me it was I needed the motivation, I needed a push, and then, once I got the push, I figured out you know how I can improve myself and it really helped me feel the rest of it and now I'm improving, hopefully, my family and our business and my relationships and just everything.
00:09:46.768 --> 00:09:47.788
It's just really changed.
00:09:47.788 --> 00:09:51.221
I mean, it's so like fulfilling.
00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:55.568
I guess once you like you look back and go I'm so proud that I did that.
00:09:55.568 --> 00:09:56.486
Yeah, like that's the thing.
00:09:56.486 --> 00:09:56.549
It's, like I've figured and go I'm so proud that I did that.
00:09:56.549 --> 00:09:57.327
Yeah, like that's the thing.
00:09:57.327 --> 00:10:00.460
It's like I've figured out how to make myself proud of me.
00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:02.645
Not be proud, you know, I don't.
00:10:02.645 --> 00:10:12.011
You've always grew up like oh, your parents are proud of you, or your grandparents or your family, or a spouse, whoever it's like, if, if I'm not proud of me, then the rest of it doesn't matter.
00:10:12.011 --> 00:10:26.596
I gotta be proud of myself for what I'm trying to accomplish, or what I'm accomplishing, what I'm working on, and it's like the self-awareness, the realization that we're all humans, we're going to screw up, and it's how we get back up and keep rocking and keep moving forward.
00:10:26.596 --> 00:10:29.506
There's the motivation right there.
00:10:29.506 --> 00:10:32.196
That's just you gotta, you gotta, you gotta keep moving.
00:10:32.196 --> 00:10:33.378
That's what I'll say, chris.
00:10:33.378 --> 00:10:34.600
Well said Well.
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.105
Uh, thanks for calling the podcast, thanks for joining us.
00:10:37.105 --> 00:10:37.746
Sure, I loved it.
00:10:37.746 --> 00:10:40.011
And thank you guys for listening.
00:10:40.011 --> 00:10:42.054
We'll see you in the next one.
