Full Transcript for God Does Not Miss: Ty Schmidt on How Time Happens For You Not To You

the most important 35 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.860 thing is the stories we tell ourselves about our past, 36 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:52.000 our present, and our future. And how life is happening 37 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.789 for us, not to us. So that got me to 38 00:02:55.810 --> 00:02:58.270 thinking a lot more about this concept of time. And 39 00:02:58.289 --> 00:03:00.169 I don't know if you've noticed, but time has been 40 00:03:00.229 --> 00:03:02.699 a thread all year for me. I have been studying it. 41 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.580 I have been leaning into it. I have been growing 42 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.650 and learning and being part and with it. Time is 43 00:03:09.930 --> 00:03:15.889 the word of 2026 for me. And I was joking 44 00:03:15.969 --> 00:03:18.900 with a friend last night about spelling it T-Y-M-E because 45 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.240 I'm kind of goofy like that. So I was thinking 46 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.419 about how this element of time has played into patient 47 00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:29.319 zero and then into Nick's message to me, which was 48 00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:32.780 essentially the thing that matters most is the stories we 49 00:03:32.819 --> 00:03:35.780 tell ourselves about our past, our present, and our future. 50 00:03:36.870 --> 00:03:41.250 And that got me just kind of opened my heart, 51 00:03:41.349 --> 00:03:45.009 like opened my mind, opened my heart. And this week, 52 00:03:45.090 --> 00:03:47.530 I know we talked about it once before, but this 53 00:03:47.610 --> 00:03:51.530 week felt like the, the, the moment in Harry Potter 54 00:03:51.569 --> 00:03:54.240 where all the letters start coming in all at the 55 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.539 same time. And they all kind of, I think they 56 00:03:56.580 --> 00:03:59.360 all said the same thing, which was God does not miss. 57 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.240 So the big question, you know, we're, we're working through, 58 00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:07.500 I asked on my Instagram a couple of months ago 59 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.719 at this point, I asked, my friends to please ask 60 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.610 me some questions to answer on this show. And at 61 00:04:12.650 --> 00:04:14.810 the time I thought, gee, I'm going to answer all 62 00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:17.490 of those questions in one episode. And then I realized, no, 63 00:04:18.529 --> 00:04:23.050 slow down. Speaking of time, slow down. You're not meant 64 00:04:23.069 --> 00:04:25.920 to answer all these in one episode. They're all too big. 65 00:04:25.939 --> 00:04:29.680 They're all too thoughtful. They're too important to try to 66 00:04:29.899 --> 00:04:34.939 brush through. So I took a couple, one at a time, 67 00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:38.670 and I'm taking, I'm slowing down. That's another song reference 68 00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:41.449 for the playlist today, which is Max McNown, Slow Down. 69 00:04:42.089 --> 00:04:47.529 I slowed down enough to pay attention to the signs. 70 00:04:48.149 --> 00:04:52.649 And there have been signs. So the question that I 71 00:04:52.689 --> 00:04:55.129 pulled at the end of the last episode was, last 72 00:04:55.149 --> 00:04:58.360 solo episode, I should say, the big question for today is, 73 00:04:58.459 --> 00:05:00.620 what is my biggest fear and how do I plan 74 00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:05.730 on overcoming it? What is my biggest fear and how 75 00:05:05.769 --> 00:05:08.129 do I plan on overcoming it? And the big answer, 76 00:05:08.149 --> 00:05:13.110 the big answer loops right back to our friend Nick 77 00:05:13.170 --> 00:05:16.930 Nanton from last week when he said that his friend 78 00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:21.389 and mentor Dan Sullivan had this theory that your danger 79 00:05:21.449 --> 00:05:28.029 happens when your purpose runs out before your money. So 80 00:05:28.290 --> 00:05:30.560 I'm here in this place right now where my purpose 81 00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:32.639 is in my heart and in my soul, and it 82 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.459 is lighting me up from the inside. I can feel 83 00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:38.819 that I am doing the thing that I am meant 84 00:05:38.899 --> 00:05:43.959 to do. I can feel it with every part, every 85 00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:46.779 part of my being. I can feel it. So I 86 00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:49.639 am afraid my biggest fear. The big answer to the 87 00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:51.939 big question is I am afraid that I will run 88 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.079 out of money before the work is done. because I 89 00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.560 feel called. I feel like this is my purpose. And 90 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.639 I am not financially sustained in any way by any 91 00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:05.100 of this right now. And I am trusting the process anyway, 92 00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:11.060 because I have, like, I've been finding messages from others, 93 00:06:11.259 --> 00:06:16.310 from you, thank you, but also from myself. This week 94 00:06:16.949 --> 00:06:21.029 was a big week. I had a TikTok come up 95 00:06:21.189 --> 00:06:24.750 from Like I've taken y'all with me more than you 96 00:06:24.810 --> 00:06:27.069 even know on this journey, by the way, like I 97 00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:31.529 have decided, I decided years ago that this story, that 98 00:06:31.589 --> 00:06:34.569 the story that I'm living in, the story that's being created, the, the, 99 00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:38.120 the testimony that's happening and, and being built in real 100 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.839 time is meant to help other people. That's why I've 101 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.540 been showing up and sharing every little step along the way, 102 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.699 because I believe that there's power in this story that 103 00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:52.230 can inspire and empower other people. Including me, as it 104 00:06:52.269 --> 00:06:54.910 turns out, because I got a message from my past 105 00:06:54.949 --> 00:06:58.689 self on the, on the

TikTok clock this week. And 106 00:06:58.709 --> 00:07:02.459 that message was God does not miss. I was processing 107 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.399 last year around this time. I was processing grief from 108 00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:09.040 the loss of my friend, Karis, who died in a 109 00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:12.060 fire with her dad, her sister, two of her other 110 00:07:12.110 --> 00:07:17.269 sister's kids and her daughter. on June 30th of 2024. 111 00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:19.339 And that's the date that I say started the fire 112 00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:22.379 in my heart, started the fire in my soul. That's 113 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.759 the same day that I submitted my chapter for the 114 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.379 best-selling book, Triumphs of Transformation, by the way, and the 115 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.279 day that I kind of jokingly, not so jokingly, say 116 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.670 that the emo rollercoaster gal was born. She was born 117 00:07:34.250 --> 00:07:39.230 on June 30th of 2024 when my friend Karis died. 118 00:07:39.350 --> 00:07:42.009 And as I was working through this grief, honest to goodness, 119 00:07:42.050 --> 00:07:46.730 last year at this time, I was Thinking through how 120 00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:52.180 God works in our life and how God does not miss. 121 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.560 He knows what he's doing and everything has a reason. 122 00:07:55.660 --> 00:07:58.220 Everything has a purpose. And that gets back to the 123 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.420 whole idea about time and how time is happening for us, 124 00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:05.319 not to us, just like life is. So full circle 125 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.009 for me this week was getting a message from my 126 00:08:08.050 --> 00:08:11.509 past self. God does not miss. And it was apparent 127 00:08:11.569 --> 00:08:13.290 to me in so many ways this week that I 128 00:08:13.329 --> 00:08:15.250 can't even get into. But if you're curious, you can 129 00:08:15.269 --> 00:08:17.449 go look at my social media because there's different things 130 00:08:17.610 --> 00:08:21.990 on there that are kind of elaborate on a few 131 00:08:22.029 --> 00:08:24.540 of the different things and tease a lot of things too, 132 00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:28.480 because I'm not telling you the whole story in real time. 133 00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:32.259 I am telling certain people the real story in real 134 00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:35.799 time and Thank you to the... There's a handful of... 135 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.139 I'll call us like the OG Swifties in healing who 136 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.149 know more of what's going on behind the scenes. And 137 00:08:43.230 --> 00:08:46.470 they are kind of like this amazing group of abundant 138 00:08:46.490 --> 00:08:49.009 people that I talk with on a daily kind of 139 00:08:49.049 --> 00:08:52.269 throughout the day basis who are seeing in real time. 140 00:08:53.429 --> 00:08:57.450 I'll give you an example. This week there was a 141 00:08:57.470 --> 00:09:01.399 day with a lot of sevens. And I believe that 142 00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:05.000 that was... encouraging me to pay closer attention. Like I 143 00:09:05.019 --> 00:09:07.480 already pay pretty close attention, but that was encouraging me 144 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.220 to pay even closer attention to what God might be 145 00:09:11.259 --> 00:09:15.080 trying to tell me that day. And it was true. 146 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.549 There's something that will come from that day. That's going 147 00:09:19.570 --> 00:09:21.549 to be big and going to be life-changing. And it's, 148 00:09:21.710 --> 00:09:26.110 it's not even actually like it all kind of real yet, 149 00:09:26.269 --> 00:09:30.159 but I believe, I believe that then I'm reading my 150 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.159 notes today because I actually hand wrote an outline for 151 00:09:34.210 --> 00:09:36.769 this episode. Usually I type it and today I hand 152 00:09:36.809 --> 00:09:38.470 wrote it. So I'm looking down a little bit more 153 00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:40.529 than usual because I'm looking at my notes because I 154 00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:44.769 am forgetful. I can acknowledge and have the self-awareness around 155 00:09:44.789 --> 00:09:47.889 my forgetfulness and my ability to tangent off and not 156 00:09:47.950 --> 00:09:51.370 get back to where I was going. So Where I 157 00:09:51.409 --> 00:09:53.529 was going with that was I do have a small 158 00:09:53.549 --> 00:09:56.399 group of friends of us that I call Swifties in 159 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.500 Healing OG Ground Crew. These are some of the words 160 00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:02.039 that we've used. And you should be one, by the way. 161 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.419 So if you want to or have interest in being 162 00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:07.759 part of the Swifties in Healing, please say so in 163 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.649 the comments so that I know and can start to 164 00:10:11.129 --> 00:10:15.370 use that to inform my next steps. Because what surprised 165 00:10:15.429 --> 00:10:21.649 me most about my introspection about this question of my 166 00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:25.289 biggest fear. What surprised me most is how different it 167 00:10:25.389 --> 00:10:28.690 is from what it was before. How different it is 168 00:10:28.809 --> 00:10:31.169 from when it, when I, when I was the past 169 00:10:31.230 --> 00:10:35.360 version of me who, by the way, by the way, 170 00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:42.299 I was terrified of change, hated uncertainty. Like I was 171 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:47.539 craving solid ground predictability. I was a lover of tradition. 172 00:10:48.690 --> 00:10:53.309 I held tight to things like we should. And, you know, 173 00:10:53.409 --> 00:10:55.480 as I was processing all this out loud in the 174 00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:58.980 patient zero episode, I realized that like, I really do 175 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.279 need to give her some grace and

some compassion because 176 00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:06.059 she needed things to go according to plan to feel safe. 177 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:11.980 Like time again, time has helped me understand that she 178 00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:16.470 needed things to be a certain way to feel safe. 179 00:11:18.509 --> 00:11:22.120 Now in the present, there is no plan. There's never 180 00:11:22.149 --> 00:11:26.460 a plan. I think people might see my life and like, honestly, 181 00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:31.740 they don't, it looks cuckoo. It looks cuckoo because kind of, 182 00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:34.480 it is sometimes like we decide, like I just decided 183 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.960 today I'm taping this. This is unusual for me, by 184 00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:41.450 the way. I, speaking of plans, not going like you 185 00:11:41.490 --> 00:11:45.029 think I had two episodes of the podcast ready to 186 00:11:45.529 --> 00:11:49.049 tape this week, one with a friend who we will 187 00:11:49.269 --> 00:11:52.539 meet with and talk with next week instead. And another 188 00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:56.220 with another friend who accompanied me and got a hug 189 00:11:56.259 --> 00:11:59.580 from Mel Robbins with me in April. And that's like 190 00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:02.120 a whole long story. And again, a lot of this 191 00:12:02.139 --> 00:12:03.720 stuff lives on the internet already if you want to 192 00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:06.909 go look for it. But my friend who I did 193 00:12:06.950 --> 00:12:10.610 not know, my friend who I drove in my car 194 00:12:10.669 --> 00:12:14.940 five hours one way to Minneapolis to eventually and inevitably 195 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.759 get a hug from Mel Robbins. That friend is coming 196 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.960 on the podcast. I'm so excited because she is such 197 00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:24.879 a cool and interesting human. And she's like, why would 198 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.340 you want to even talk to me? I want to 199 00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:29.320 talk to you because you have a crazy story. We 200 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.899 drove five hours in the car and she told me 201 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.919 a lot of her life story, which was fascinating by 202 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.450 the way. And then we got to the Mall of 203 00:12:37.490 --> 00:12:39.139 America and we were getting out of the car and 204 00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:42.809 she's like, oh, by the way, I wrote a book 205 00:12:42.870 --> 00:12:50.279 with Jack Black's mom What she wrote. So she's coming 206 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.080 on the show next week. Instead, we're going to do 207 00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:55.980 it next week, but here I am taping an episode 208 00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:59.659 very close to when I'm dropping the episode tomorrow and 209 00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:03.100 going with the flow, going with the, like there was no, 210 00:13:03.259 --> 00:13:07.320 that those two, we had very good conversations about that 211 00:13:07.419

--> 00:13:09.940 didn't pertain to the podcast and we will tape eventually. 212 00:13:10.659 --> 00:13:14.629 And I'm taping the solo instead. And I just decided 213 00:13:15.110 --> 00:13:17.669 five minutes ago, literally right before I started taping this, 214 00:13:17.769 --> 00:13:20.720 I got a message from a friend who I taped 215 00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:26.940 the Wrath of Rakshasa commercial with back in May of 2025. 216 00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:29.870 That's another date in my life that honestly changed my life. 217 00:13:29.990 --> 00:13:33.490 May 23rd of 2025, the day that I rode Wrath 218 00:13:33.549 --> 00:13:37.350 of Rakshasa 22 times in one day. Yes, you heard 219 00:13:37.389 --> 00:13:42.250 me right. 22 times. In one day, I rode the 220 00:13:42.570 --> 00:13:46.769 world record-breaking roller coaster called Wrath of Rakshasa at Six 221 00:13:46.789 --> 00:13:50.409 Flags Great America in Gurney, Illinois, with a group of 222 00:13:51.570 --> 00:13:56.559 other incredible roller coaster people, including this friend who I 223 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.120 met and spent that day with and haven't seen since then. 224 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:04.460 And I have been nervous. I've been nervous because... I 225 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.000 don't want to go too deep into it, but the 226 00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:11.779 accident and tragedy that happened with Hassan at the Goliath 227 00:14:11.820 --> 00:14:14.919 ride at Six Flags Over Georgia on Monday of this 228 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:22.929 past week was horrific and traumatizing and scary. Makes me nervous. 229 00:14:23.009 --> 00:14:27.129 Like I am the thing that y'all, I think, I 230 00:14:27.169 --> 00:14:30.240 think The world might perceive me as somebody that's no 231 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.820 longer afraid of heights and roller coasters, but I am 232 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:36.059 very afraid. Every time I get on those things, I 233 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.659 am scared. I am just choosing to be excited instead. 234 00:14:39.730 --> 00:14:42.370 I'm choosing to put my arms up. I'm choosing to 235 00:14:42.429 --> 00:14:46.889 enjoy the ride instead of fearing it. And I'm scared today. 236 00:14:46.909 --> 00:14:49.730 I was not going to go. I was thinking maybe 237 00:14:49.769 --> 00:14:51.509 I won't go to Six Flags today because I was 238 00:14:51.549 --> 00:14:54.720 kind of sort of planning on it, but also Hassan. 239 00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:58.220 And then I got a text message from my friend 240 00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:01.840 who I haven't seen since May 23rd of 2025. And 241 00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:03.600 she happens to be in the area. And she said, 242 00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:05.200 are you at Six Flags today? And I said, you 243 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.279 know what? I'm not yet, but I'm going to be. 244 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.259 I will be there. We are going to go and 245 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:11.830 we're going to ride and it's going to be awesome. 246 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.470 And I'm so excited. And it's helping me work through 247 00:15:14.490 --> 00:15:19.370 the nervousness because of somebody that's riding with me. It's 248 00:15:19.429 --> 00:15:24.889 helping me decide to choose excitement over fear because somebody 249 00:15:24.909 --> 00:15:27.799 is riding with with me, who I care about, who 250 00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:30.950 I love, who I respect and who I have inspired. 251 00:15:31.009 --> 00:15:35.289 She actually told me that because of my work, she 252 00:15:35.370 --> 00:15:38.289 has started posting like because of my posts, because of 253 00:15:38.350 --> 00:15:41.889 what I'm doing, she is posting on Instagram and TikTok more. 254 00:15:41.950 --> 00:15:44.320 And how cool is that? Like that is, that is 255 00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:48.340 the point because now there is no plan. I go 256 00:15:48.379 --> 00:15:53.580 with the flow and what's for you won't miss you. 257 00:15:54.110 --> 00:15:56.629 So the present is very much anchored in the people. 258 00:15:57.370 --> 00:16:01.649 The present is very much anchored in all of the people. 259 00:16:02.889 --> 00:16:07.629 It started today just now with Bella. What was I 260 00:16:07.649 --> 00:16:08.549 going to say her name? I don't know if I 261 00:16:08.549 --> 00:16:09.590 was going to say her name, but it started with 262 00:16:09.610 --> 00:16:13.710 Bella today. And it made me think more about how 263 00:16:13.950 --> 00:16:18.529 people are forming the time that is right now, how 264 00:16:18.629 --> 00:16:21.610 people are encouraging me to take the next step, how 265 00:16:21.710 --> 00:16:25.809 people are the thread that And it's not about me. 266 00:16:26.490 --> 00:16:30.450 It's about you. So I am going to share a 267 00:16:30.490 --> 00:16:35.570 story that happened this week also that involved a Swifties 268 00:16:35.610 --> 00:16:39.700 and Healing OG ground crew member from Australia, who is 269 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:43.720 also coming on the podcast, by the way. Emma, shout 270 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.320 out Emma. I'm so excited for her to come on 271 00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:48.799 the podcast. She booked a flight. She saw some of 272 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.159 my rollercoaster content and she booked a flight to go 273 00:16:52.179 --> 00:16:54.879 to her nearest theme park. to ride a roller coaster 274 00:16:55.299 --> 00:17:00.200 because of my content. And in doing so, we've become dear, 275 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:05.880 dear friends. She's like my transatlantic friend who shared with 276 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.089 me something this, and she's been in my head lately. 277 00:17:08.589 --> 00:17:10.630 I told her this week, you've been in my head lately. 278 00:17:10.650 --> 00:17:13.829 And I'm so grateful because she says this thing that 279 00:17:14.009 --> 00:17:17.190 I have interpreted. She uses different words that I'm going 280 00:17:17.210 --> 00:17:20.890 to forget. But my

interpretation of those words is what's 281 00:17:21.009 --> 00:17:26.720 for you won't miss you. What's for you won't miss you. 282 00:17:27.420 --> 00:17:29.740 God does not miss. So what's for you won't miss 283 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:34.589 you has helped me ease up a little bit. It's 284 00:17:34.609 --> 00:17:37.690 helped me realize that the past version of me that 285 00:17:37.730 --> 00:17:41.910 clung so, so strongly and so like holding on for 286 00:17:42.009 --> 00:17:48.369 dear life to should and tradition and predictability, that I 287 00:17:48.430 --> 00:17:51.650 can actually go with the flow because what's for me 288 00:17:52.630 --> 00:17:57.470 won't miss me. And I had an opportunity to share 289 00:17:57.529 --> 00:18:00.609 that message. And this is where I get confirmation in 290 00:18:00.670 --> 00:18:02.670 present time that I am on the right path. This 291 00:18:02.730 --> 00:18:05.170 is where I see the signs and I listen and 292 00:18:05.250 --> 00:18:08.220 I lean in because I'm listening to the Lord tell 293 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:13.119 me this is what I'm meant to do. My friend 294 00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:17.869 in Australia sends me, we have this whole conversation about 295 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.980 How What's For You Won't Miss You. And again, Slow Down, 296 00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:24.859 Max McNown, another song. Slow Down has been in my 297 00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:29.559 head lately because I feel like I'm spinning. Spinning, another 298 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:32.750 song by Andrew McMahon. But I feel like I'm spinning, 299 00:18:32.829 --> 00:18:34.730 so I'm trying to slow down and I'm trying to 300 00:18:34.789 --> 00:18:40.049 remember that What's For Me Won't Miss Me. And my 301 00:18:40.109 --> 00:18:46.259 dear friend Ivy had a huge setback this week. After 302 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:50.380 my conversation with Emma in Australia, Ivy had a huge 303 00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:53.059 setback this week and it's health related, so I'm not 304 00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:58.430 going to share the details, but Ivy is devastated about 305 00:18:58.470 --> 00:19:03.930 this setback. She is heartbroken and rightfully so. It is heartbreaking. 306 00:19:05.930 --> 00:19:10.109 And I had the opportunity to talk with her and 307 00:19:10.190 --> 00:19:13.240 share with her these thoughts that my friend Emma had. 308 00:19:13.750 --> 00:19:16.450 reminded me of, which is what's for me won't miss me. 309 00:19:17.190 --> 00:19:23.839 What's for her won't miss her. So cue the future. 310 00:19:23.980 --> 00:19:27.319 How do I make this into something that's financially sustainable? 311 00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:30.250 How do I make this? And again, with going with 312 00:19:30.289 --> 00:19:32.470 the flow and not really having a plan and just 313 00:19:32.529 --> 00:19:37.299 showing up for the next step. I'm doing it by 314 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.940 listening and paying attention to the signs and the signs 315 00:19:39.980

--> 00:19:41.990 are pointing me to the people and the people are 316 00:19:42.029 --> 00:19:47.089 pointing me to the messages. Example, Nick Nanton with Dan Sullivan. 317 00:19:47.630 --> 00:19:52.039 In our last episode, Nick Nanton referenced Dan Sullivan's danger. 318 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:57.109 We talked about at the beginning, the danger of running 319 00:19:57.170 --> 00:20:00.809 out of purpose before you run out of money. Now 320 00:20:01.069 --> 00:20:03.210 I have gotten all of the signs that I am 321 00:20:03.289 --> 00:20:06.289 on the right path and my purpose is we're on lock. 322 00:20:06.930 --> 00:20:09.539 We are on lock. With the purpose, the purpose and 323 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.140 God and I are talking all day. Every day we 324 00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:15.569 are talking. I don't need to go to church. I should, 325 00:20:16.309 --> 00:20:18.069 but I don't need to go to church because church 326 00:20:18.130 --> 00:20:21.170 lives here. Church is in my heart. God and I 327 00:20:21.210 --> 00:20:26.269 are talking all day, every day. And I see the signs. 328 00:20:27.990 --> 00:20:34.000 I actually see so many signs that, that are literally 329 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:37.640 pointing me in the right direction. Example, rainbows. I said, 330 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.549 I said, I've, there's a long story that I'm not 331 00:20:40.569 --> 00:20:42.450 going to go into right now. And I will, if 332 00:20:42.470 --> 00:20:45.190 you want to hear it, let me know in the comments, say, 333 00:20:45.589 --> 00:20:48.589 what's the rainbow story? Because there's, there's a whole, there's 334 00:20:48.630 --> 00:20:52.170 a lot there to unpack. But I said this week 335 00:20:52.490 --> 00:20:54.599 that I'm going to start sharing the rainbows that I see, 336 00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:56.960 whether they're rainbows that are sent to me or they're 337 00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:59.019 rainbows that I see on the internet or like whatever 338 00:20:59.059 --> 00:21:00.400 it is, I'm going to start sharing them because we 339 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.460 could all use more hope and more color in our day. 340 00:21:04.150 --> 00:21:05.559 As far as I, as far as I see it. 341 00:21:05.589 --> 00:21:08.869 So more hope, more color, more rainbows. So I say that, 342 00:21:08.970 --> 00:21:12.900 and I got like several rainbows sent to me, including 343 00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:16.079 one that happened for us in, in our area. Like 344 00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.259 I had a friend that saw this really cool double 345 00:21:18.299 --> 00:21:21.160 rainbow that happened for us on Thursday night. And the 346 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:26.279 timing was not an accident. The timing is never an 347 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.880 accident because God does not miss. So I see it 348 00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:32.869 in the rainbows. I see it in the numbers. I 349 00:21:32.910 --> 00:21:36.519 had a very, very heavy day of sevens this week. 350 00:21:36.670 --> 00:21:39.299 We talked about it. That's the day that, and something 351 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:42.880 big did happen that day that I'm going to share eventually. 352 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.400 I know why. I know why I'm doing this. I 353 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.119 have the purpose on lock. What I'm actively working on 354 00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:56.960 now is how. And based on everything we just talked 355 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.920 about and how time is happening for us, not to us, 356 00:22:01.619 --> 00:22:04.519 I am recognizing that the thread and the reason and 357 00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:09.019 the how happens with you. You are the how. The 358 00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:12.289 people behind the views. You know, I haven't talked about 359 00:22:12.309 --> 00:22:16.329 it a ton, but we are at like 10 million 360 00:22:17.130 --> 00:22:22.170 views on Instagram in the last 90 days. 10, it 361 00:22:22.210 --> 00:22:24.039 might actually be more than that. I haven't checked today, 362 00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:30.240 but 10 million people have ridden roller coasters. Well, or 363 00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:32.500 at least seen my content, right? Like, I don't know 364 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.819 if they've watched the roller coaster content or if they've 365 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:38.380 resonated with other different parts of my content, but 10 366 00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:42.670 million people is not a small number. There's proof here 367 00:22:42.890 --> 00:22:46.210 that something's working, something's resonating. And I see it in 368 00:22:46.250 --> 00:22:48.710 the comments. You guys, I see it. We go back 369 00:22:48.750 --> 00:22:52.460 to patient zero and watch for the screenshot of, 10 370 00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:55.369 different messages in one day that I got from people 371 00:22:56.430 --> 00:23:00.569 cheering me on from other countries, legitimately saying that my 372 00:23:00.630 --> 00:23:03.349 content is helping them in all kinds of ways that 373 00:23:03.410 --> 00:23:05.930 don't make any sense to me, but they make perfect 374 00:23:05.970 --> 00:23:08.240 sense to you. And that's why I need your help. 375 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:13.920 Because we've talked through the past. We've talked through the present. 376 00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:17.799 And now it's time to think about the future. And 377 00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:22.619 the future is the people behind the views. The future 378 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:24.920 is how do all these different pieces fit together? I 379 00:23:26.069 --> 00:23:29.950 have a friend, a dear, dear friend who I started 380 00:23:30.029 --> 00:23:35.490 sending this meme to because I recognize that this episode. 381 00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:38.259 is just a preview by the way. This is, this 382 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.480 is me on the daily all day, every day, basically 383 00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:48.349 living the skit that Taylor did with like the red strings. 384 00:23:48.869 --> 00:23:50.829 Like if

you remember, like there was a guy and 385 00:23:50.849 --> 00:23:53.089 I don't remember his name, but the guy from always 386 00:23:53.130 --> 00:23:56.150 sunny in Philadelphia with like the red strings behind him, 387 00:23:57.490 --> 00:24:01.240 that's me all day, every day playing with these pieces, 388 00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:03.400 figuring out how they go together, figuring out how they 389 00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:06.730 thread together and so much of it threads together. The 390 00:24:06.789 --> 00:24:08.930 world is such a smaller place than I could have 391 00:24:09.230 --> 00:24:12.690 ever thought, first of all, but also it's so cool 392 00:24:12.769 --> 00:24:16.970 to see how these different connections happen and how and 393 00:24:17.049 --> 00:24:22.619 why they're happening for a reason. I'm actively leaning in 394 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.619 for a reason because God does not miss. So how 395 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:28.799 do we proceed? How do we go? Like how does 396 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.380 momentum breeds momentum, right? Like these, these lessons that I 397 00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:35.220 learned from the guests that come on this show, are 398 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:39.359 helping me help you in real time. Brian Davis said 399 00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:44.210 that one. He said, momentum breeds momentum. All these guests, 400 00:24:44.869 --> 00:24:47.349 I don't just talk with them one time either, by 401 00:24:47.390 --> 00:24:50.170 the way. You should probably be aware. I don't talk 402 00:24:50.190 --> 00:24:53.190 with these guests one time. These guests become people in 403 00:24:53.230 --> 00:24:56.180 my life. They're parts of my story. For the most part, 404 00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:59.500 I'm actually legitimately friendly with them. And if I wasn't 405 00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:02.440 friendly with them before we talked, we are friendly now. 406 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.059 Another case in point there is Terrence Sullivan and Ellen Baker, 407 00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:10.180 who were on an episode a couple weeks ago. So 408 00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:14.240 like three, four weeks episode back. That episode is called 409 00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:18.019 Believe in Your Magic. Thank you for your magic. Like, 410 00:25:18.619 --> 00:25:21.480 this is very real. I'm processing all of this in 411 00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:24.700 real time as, you know, we talk about music, mindset, 412 00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:32.519 and movement. Music plus mindset plus movement is magic. And 413 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:37.450 it's contagious and it's possible for you to feel and 414 00:25:37.490 --> 00:25:41.289 to process and to build your life with this magic. 415 00:25:42.029 --> 00:25:44.170 That's what's on my soul. That's what I need to 416 00:25:44.230 --> 00:25:48.319 help with. That's how I can get this message to 417 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.240 you so that you can do it because you can like, yes, 418 00:25:52.380 --> 00:26:00.630 you can.

Yes, you can. Yes, you can. So I 419 00:26:00.670 --> 00:26:06.619 feel so like wholeheartedly about this, that I have decided 420 00:26:07.299 --> 00:26:11.000 that how we proceed is there's two things. First of all, 421 00:26:11.819 --> 00:26:15.130 I keep going. I don't know the, I don't know 422 00:26:15.150 --> 00:26:18.609 the path. I don't know the plan. There is, there 423 00:26:18.750 --> 00:26:23.009 literally is no plan. There is God's plan. So I 424 00:26:23.069 --> 00:26:26.200 keep going. I keep showing up. I keep walking in 425 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.359 faith and those bricks keep showing up. as they do 426 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.359 on this yellow brick road. And I am recognizing more 427 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.640 and more and more and more how this yellow brick 428 00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:38.900 road would not be the same without the people who 429 00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:42.660 are walking it with me. So I keep going on 430 00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:46.549 the yellow brick road and I ask you for help. 431 00:26:48.069 --> 00:26:51.190 I ask you for help, not to be clear, to 432 00:26:51.230 --> 00:26:55.069 go back to the little bit of hate that I 433 00:26:55.109 --> 00:27:03.779 got a asking for money. I'm asking for help. There's 434 00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:07.029 a difference. And the help that I'm asking for is 435 00:27:07.049 --> 00:27:12.430 a little bit, there's multiple parts, but the two biggest 436 00:27:12.490 --> 00:27:16.349 areas of help that I need is top host. By 437 00:27:16.369 --> 00:27:18.769 the way, we made it to the top 20. We 438 00:27:19.369 --> 00:27:22.839 made it to the top 20 of top host, which 439 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.200 is Ryan Seacrest's contest. I hate calling it a contest, 440 00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:30.470 but that's what it is. It's Ryan Seacrest's contest slash 441 00:27:30.569 --> 00:27:36.970 fundraiser for his Ryan Seacrest Foundation. And it is kind 442 00:27:37.029 --> 00:27:42.579 of like American Idol for podcasting. And I am in 443 00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:44.779 the top 20 in my group. I'm currently in second 444 00:27:44.819 --> 00:27:48.380 place as of today. And I'm so, so grateful because 445 00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.880 none of that would be possible without you. None of 446 00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:55.119 that would be possible without your voting. You can vote 447 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:58.599 daily for free or you can donate to the Ryan 448 00:27:58.619 --> 00:28:03.200 Seacrest Foundation and every dollar counts as a vote. I 449 00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:06.250 don't love that part because I don't like asking for 450 00:28:06.730 --> 00:28:09.269 any kind of monetary donations to count as a vote. 451 00:28:09.730 --> 00:28:13.309 But I do love the cause. So if you are 452 00:28:13.369 --> 00:28:17.990 so inclined, go vote. You can vote for free every day. 453 00:28:18.569 --> 00:28:22.819 You can donate if you want. But That's one area 454 00:28:22.859 --> 00:28:27.420

that you can help. Second thing is tell me what 455 00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:31.569 you'd like to see. If you're here, you've been with 456 00:28:31.609 --> 00:28:35.150 me for almost a half hour. Thank you. Tell me 457 00:28:35.190 --> 00:28:37.910 what you want. Tell me what you'd like. Tell me 458 00:28:37.950 --> 00:28:41.390 what you want more of. Tell me how I can 459 00:28:41.470 --> 00:28:45.849 help you because I know I can. I know I can. 460 00:28:45.990 --> 00:28:48.470 And I almost feel like it's like literally my job 461 00:28:48.490 --> 00:28:56.400 to help you. So do you want journals, meetups, courses, 462 00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:04.230 one-on-one coaching, group coaching? I am open. I am ready. 463 00:29:04.250 --> 00:29:07.390 I want to do what will be most beneficial and 464 00:29:07.470 --> 00:29:12.970 most impactful for you. So tell me, like, what does 465 00:29:13.029 --> 00:29:16.880 Swifties in Healing look like to you? Because Swifties in 466 00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:20.650 Healing is a very real thing. I have been talking 467 00:29:20.730 --> 00:29:24.069 about Swifties and healing on the internet since 2023. A 468 00:29:25.009 --> 00:29:27.799 lot of people don't know that or, you know, realize that, 469 00:29:27.859 --> 00:29:30.400 but this is not something new for me. I have 470 00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:32.980 been talking about it in my comment sections on these 471 00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:38.289 videos recently, but I have been, this has been an idea, 472 00:29:38.349 --> 00:29:43.049 a dream that I've had for literally years. Because I 473 00:29:43.130 --> 00:29:47.450 know how music has helped me heal. Music, mindset, and 474 00:29:47.569 --> 00:29:51.940 movement have helped me heal enough to build my unreal 475 00:29:51.980 --> 00:29:56.619 life from the ground up. And that's where I know 476 00:29:56.779 --> 00:30:01.549 that Swifties in Healing is located. at least a significant 477 00:30:01.589 --> 00:30:03.190 part of the future. So what do you want it 478 00:30:03.230 --> 00:30:06.299 to look like? How do you want it to present? 479 00:30:06.380 --> 00:30:10.960 What service or what product? Merch? Like that's another idea. 480 00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:15.160 I love me some merch, like a lot. Most of 481 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.539 my wardrobe is merch, by the way. It's kind of 482 00:30:17.579 --> 00:30:20.099 a problem, but it's not because I find that merch 483 00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.420 connects us in ways and we go in public then 484 00:30:22.460 --> 00:30:24.079 and we see our people and then we can connect 485 00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:27.160 with people in public and it's beautiful and I love that. 486 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:29.829 So maybe it's merch. I don't know, but Whatever it is, 487 00:30:30.210 --> 00:30:33.730 I am here to remind us that all we have 488 00:30:34.069 --> 00:30:40.849 is time. And God does not miss. Thank you, Nick Nanton, 489 00:30:41.069 --> 00:30:45.000 for giving me something so visceral and real to think 490 00:30:45.140 --> 00:30:48.619 on with that line about how the real danger is 491 00:30:48.700 --> 00:30:51.140 running out of purpose before you run out of money. 492 00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:56.319 My biggest fear is running out of money before the 493 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.609 work is done. So I want to serve in a 494 00:31:00.650 --> 00:31:03.150 way that's sustainable and I need your help to do 495 00:31:03.190 --> 00:31:07.579 that because I haven't solved the fear. I haven't, I 496 00:31:07.619 --> 00:31:09.880 haven't solved the fear on the roller coasters. I still 497 00:31:10.099 --> 00:31:16.980 am afraid on roller coasters, especially, especially right now. But 498 00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:20.119 this is me taking the next step. This is me 499 00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:23.799 taking the next step to find my way home and 500 00:31:24.269 --> 00:31:30.210 hopefully theoretically to help you find your way home. We 501 00:31:30.250 --> 00:31:35.660 need to draw a new question. It's time. It's time 502 00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:43.220 for our next question for next time. This one from Joseph. 503 00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:46.670 Joseph wants to know, I'm a creator that wants to 504 00:31:46.710 --> 00:31:49.849 connect deeply with my followers just like you do, which 505 00:31:49.890 --> 00:31:51.890 is one of the many reasons I follow and support you. 506 00:31:51.950 --> 00:31:54.930 Thank you, Joseph. I appreciate you. I also like your name. 507 00:31:55.069 --> 00:31:59.029 I trusted Joseph always. Is that part of your thought 508 00:31:59.069 --> 00:32:01.849 process and how do you do it? So we're going to, 509 00:32:01.890 --> 00:32:03.490 we're going to dig into that because that feels like 510 00:32:03.509 --> 00:32:07.150 the perfect lead in to talk more about Swifties and healing, 511 00:32:07.210 --> 00:32:10.490 hopefully with your comments, with your feedback. And while you 512 00:32:10.579 --> 00:32:12.859 are thinking about this episode, I want you to think 513 00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:17.559 about a time when something didn't go right and how 514 00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:19.980 you handled it and how you wish you'd handled it. 515 00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:23.700 I want you to give yourself some grace because those 516 00:32:23.740 --> 00:32:27.349 things are going to happen and you I think it's 517 00:32:27.410 --> 00:32:30.069 more about what you learned from that situation that matters. 518 00:32:30.789 --> 00:32:32.710 And for me, a lot of the things that haven't 519 00:32:32.730 --> 00:32:36.410 gone according to plan have been literally reminding me to 520 00:32:36.450 --> 00:32:41.869 look up. They've literally been reminding me that I am 521 00:32:41.930 --> 00:32:48.309 not in charge. God's in charge. And aren't we so 522 00:32:48.329 --> 00:32:50.730 grateful for that truth? Because I mess up a lot, 523 00:32:51.710 --> 00:32:56.470 but he never does. God does not mess up. And 524 00:32:56.490 --> 00:32:58.990 I will see you next time on Quick Before You Forget. 525 00:33:01.170 --> 00:33:04.890 That was so much fun.
