00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:10.759
There are some people that make their
work just another thing they have to do,

2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.839
and there are those that make their
work something that they want to do.

3
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.199
Welcome to Working on Purpose with your
host Elise Cortez. In our program,

4
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:24.399
we provide guidance and inspiration from those
people who have found deeper meaning and

5
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.839
personal connection to their work life.
It's beyond nine to five. It's working

6
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:36.759
on purpose. Now Here is your
host, Elise Cortez. Welcome back to

7
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.640
Working on Purpose. Thanks for tuning
in again this week. I'm your host

8
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.679
Elise Cortez, joining from Dallas,
Texas home base for me. This program

9
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.439
is all about helping people more meaningfully
and productively connect with their work and equipping

10
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.240
organizations to do the same for their
employees. It was originally inspired by the

11
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.200
meaning and work research I've been doing
over the last fifteen years, and I'm

12
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.880
now writing a book about and it
compliments the work that I do. It

13
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.759
Insignium, which is a global management
consulting firm. First, let me think

14
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.519
my media partner and sponsor jobbing dot
com. They are the leading locally focused

15
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.120
job board in the nation, and
they are dedicated to helping employers find quality

16
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.319
talent in their own backyard. While
giving job secrets control of their search,

17
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.760
they can find work close to home. Last week, if you missed the

18
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.879
show, we were on the air
with doctor Norman Baldwin, who is professor

19
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.519
of political science at the University of
Alabama. He is also the author of

20
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.519
Winning at Following Secrets to Success and
Supporting Roles. We talked about the importance

21
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.400
of supporting and developing individual contributors and
organizations, how supporters can develop their own

22
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.920
vibe within the companies they work for, and how leaders can better support and

23
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:40.239
grow those who follow and carry out
their missions. Great conversation For a conversation

24
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.040
this week we have Jared Grossman,
who is the co founder of Muscle Prodigy

25
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:48.519
and well known performance coach with a
tremendous online social media following. We'll be

26
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.560
talking about mindset shifts in the right
habits to adopt for coldifating success in all

27
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.000
endeavors, and his own approach to
helping people develop healthy and successful mindsets across

28
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.159
life and work. Along with He's
got an eight part process defining fulfilling work.

29
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.120
Really fun conversation, it promises to
be Jared joined it today from Boca

30
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.240
Braton, Florida. Jarrett welcome to
working on purpose. Thank you so much

31
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.599
for having me at least first,
I'd so love it to say. And

32
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.560
first, let me just say,
you know, I love that accent,

33
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.479
Jared, that East Coast accent where
you're from originally I'm from wall Island.

34
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.319
I love it. I absolutely love
it. Don't ever lose that accent.

35
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.759
Okay, well, let's just bring
bring our listeners right into your world.

36
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.039
I have a profound appreciation for what
you've done in your life, Dearrett,

37
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:35.560
and how you've turned yourself around.
When you were young, people might say

38
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.319
that you started off with perhaps a
disadvantage stirt to life. So will you

39
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.960
tell us about that eighth I think
or maybe ninth grade experience and what it's

40
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:47.479
taught you about how to succeed in
life. Absolutely so, basically what happened

41
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.719
to illustrate, I got beat up
when I was in the eighth grade,

42
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:59.080
as you mentioned, by a kid
younger than me, and it taught me

43
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.800
that there's going to be a lot
of bullies in life, whether it's people

44
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.280
individuals who want to fight you,
or whether it's bills or whatever the situation

45
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.319
may be, and the only way
to overcome them, they're going to come

46
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.280
one after the other, and universe
is sort of going to point these obstacles

47
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.039
your way and continue to give you
struggle until you look into the mirror and

48
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.520
say that you've got to get stronger, both from a mental aspect the physical

49
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.479
aspect. And that's when I really
just understood the power of accountability and I

50
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.280
was able to transform my body.
I double my body weight, so eventually

51
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.759
got up to about two hundred pounds
overall and under six percent body fat.

52
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:43.960
So I sort of master the art
of that physical transformation, and then I

53
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.080
wanted to be able to empower other
people to be able to get onto that.

54
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:53.159
But most importantly the mindset to just
understand that if you envision something different

55
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.080
or you don't like something the way
that it is right now, that you

56
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.000
do have the power to be able
to change it. Stick Jared. It's

57
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.159
such an incredible testament too, I
think the human spirit, and I know

58
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.840
we're going to talk more about this, but just I gotta grab it really

59
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.360
quick to what do you attribute your
ability in that moment as an eighth grader

60
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.560
to figure out that whole important life
lesson that you've really fundamently built a business

61
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:19.120
on. I mean where did that
come from? You know, I think

62
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:24.160
some things are there. You're guided
throughout the process. You know a little

63
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.839
bit of people in your circle in
your direction that are sort of pointing the

64
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.519
finger go here in a way.
And definitely you know people around me,

65
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:40.560
my parents. I had some mentors
in my life, for instance, a

66
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.720
wrestling coach who really believed in me
and stilled a lot of in confidence in

67
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.120
me before I even had confidence in
myself. And at that point it was

68
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:54.279
just a ball that took momentum and
just snowballed. So you know, people

69
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.360
will come into your life, they'll
give you tips and pointers, and you

70
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.360
could either have your ego up and
say they don't know what they hold they're

71
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.680
talking about, I think, or
you could really just internalize it and say

72
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:09.360
maybe they've got something here and then
you can get to work. The power

73
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.959
of a really good association is well
illustrated there. Thank you for that,

74
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.399
Jarrett. Okay, I want to
get into the story of how you actually

75
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.879
started muscle producty. I think one
of the things that I find fascinating is,

76
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.480
well, one, how people actually
come about starting a business. And

77
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.199
you've created a very successful business.
And I love being a management consultant working

78
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.680
with people that have already well established
businesses, but we often forget how they

79
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.160
actually begin. So will you tell
this the story of how Muscle Producty came

80
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:42.600
to be? Absolutely so. I
was in college with my childhood friend Richie

81
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.079
Allen, and we were really into
weightlifting. We lifted out this gym called

82
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.879
BEV Francis power House Gym. It's
known as the East Coast Mecca bodybuilding,

83
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.199
So you got Venice Beach on the
West coast, this was sort of the

84
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:01.079
East Coast and there's bodybuilders of the
highest stature who will go in there and

85
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.720
work out every single day, whether
it's mister Olympians like Phil Heath or Jay

86
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.279
Cutler or Ronnie Coleman and so forth. So we grew up around this camaraderie

87
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.839
in this community, and we were
really passionate about Finnis and I know what

88
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.920
it did for me in my life, and there was such a strong emotional

89
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:24.240
response within me that I really understood
the power of transformation and change again,

90
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.160
not just physically but mentally, that
if you don't like something, you can

91
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.040
change it, and there's nothing more
powerful than being able to see that that

92
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.040
change in the mirror. Take place
right before your very eyes. That then

93
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.639
you could say, well, maybe
I can, you know, make this

94
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.519
relationship better, or the way that
I respond or react to certain people that

95
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.879
come in my life, or if
I want to make more money, you

96
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.800
have a greater impacts on society,
whatever it is. So it's just crashing

97
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:54.040
down those limiting beliefs. And one
of those limiting beliefs that I had was

98
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:59.399
that you can't really make money.
And what you're passionate about, I give

99
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.920
you sort of a prelude. I
was heading down a career in investment banking

100
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.800
where for a pretty large investment bank
firm, and then quickly realized, you

101
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.279
know, that might not be where
my calling is in essence, and I

102
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.600
went to law school and quickly realized
that wasn't my passion. So started up

103
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:23.360
this blog while I was in law
school with Richie Allen. We wrote hundreds

104
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.079
of articles, thousands of articles,
did lots of videos to promote it,

105
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.160
and then you sort of gained a
little bit of notoriety of following. It's

106
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:35.959
it's very incremental changes, you know, It's not like you know, these

107
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.319
these huge leaps and bounds that come
overnight. But after years of plugging away,

108
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.240
you do get some rewards and so
forth, but that's sort of how

109
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.399
it spawned. And from there,
you know where we're continuing to just innovate

110
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:54.839
and provide as much as much value
as possible to our customer and user base.

111
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.759
I have to call out really quick
to that's fascinating. I two,

112
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.560
for the longest time, didn't think
that you could make money at your passion.

113
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.600
I will I will fully confess that, and I appreciate very much that

114
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.720
you had the same belief limiting belief. Yes, yes, absolutely, you

115
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.040
know, you if you work as
sort of a grind, especially when you

116
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.240
expect a lot of yourself, your
family expects a lot of yourself that you

117
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.560
got to you got to go down
the traditional mantras. You know, I

118
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.639
come from a family of high achievers, so to speak. You know,

119
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.920
and you that apple doesn't fall far
from the truth. You expect a lot

120
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.600
of yourself as I'm sure you do
a lease right and uh that that that

121
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.559
carries over. But there's certain professions
that we blank it as being, you

122
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.840
know, the we made it type
of thing. And then there's other things

123
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.600
that your heart may be calling to
that you may doubt to say, well,

124
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.279
how how can I turn this and
monetize it? And you can if

125
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:54.279
you if you really just open your
eyes to the right behaviors that will take

126
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.000
to succeed there. That's so encouraging
for our listeners out there that are trying

127
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.559
to do just that monetize their passion. One of the things that I also

128
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.679
find fascinating compelling about you, Jared, is you have one of the clearest

129
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.039
mission statements that I've really ever seen, and I think that's got to be

130
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.320
part of what drives your success for
our listeners who don't know it. Will

131
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.799
you say it, will you articulate
it for us? I appreciate that.

132
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.519
Yeah, I think there's a lot
of power if you could break down what

133
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.480
you do into one sentence. And
this took me a little process to be

134
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.720
able to do. Actually took me
over a year to really boil it down,

135
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:35.639
like what what do I do when
you really feel the onion layer of

136
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.080
my layer? And eventually I was
able to come up with this phrase,

137
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.759
which is basically to impart wisdom upon
as many people as possible, to basically

138
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:50.440
allow them to help understand themselves better
so that everything stems from there, which

139
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.159
is just basically everything's a communicative device
to get people to lead a better life,

140
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.799
a life of more truth, so
to speak. And if you can

141
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:05.519
be that living example, you've done
your work in life. Mmmm. And

142
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.120
speaking of living living example, another
thing that I wanted to ask you about.

143
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.519
You you do strike me, Jared
as literally a living, breathing advertisement

144
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.279
walking your talk. I mean,
you talked about all of the articles that

145
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.000
you wrote before, and then I
know that you wrote a blog every single

146
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.279
day for a year and today you
enjoy three hundred thousand unique visitors to your

147
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.240
website and you do a video.
I think it's every day that you put

148
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.120
on YouTube something like that. So
I think that this kind of discipline is

149
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.519
really quite fascinating. I want to
understand why did you do this and what

150
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.000
did it do for your business?
Sure? Yeah, So in the beginning,

151
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.039
like anything in life, when you
first try something, you're you're not

152
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.639
going to see huge rewards necessarily overnight. Sometimes you get a little gift so

153
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.320
to speak, from the universe,
God, whatever you believe in kind of

154
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.279
thing, and eventually it's going to
slow down. There's going to be a

155
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.039
mud that you got to go through, and it's it's almost like a test

156
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:07.240
you got to make it through that, and there will be incremental gifts or

157
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:11.799
changes along the way, but most
importantly it's a it's a test of your

158
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.120
commitment and your will and your discipline
like like you mentioned, but also unconsciously.

159
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.919
You might be doing things, uh, and you might be good at

160
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:26.759
them, but then you slowly try
too hard, and then you have to

161
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:31.919
sort of consciously understand what what your
real gift is or what you're good at,

162
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.480
or what what what people are drawn
to and when the marketplace responds,

163
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.399
why are they responding? And then
that's a whole process that takes shape to

164
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.279
then align sort of that conscious with
the unconscious. And that's that's sort of

165
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.879
a you know, an esoteric kind
of description of what's going on. But

166
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:54.000
yes, wrote wrote tons of articles
uh to try to get exposure and so

167
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.480
forth you get get little pickups here
and there. Uh. And I did

168
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.279
do a video every single day for
a year on YouTube and gained one hundred

169
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:09.720
thousand subscribers through through that methodology essentially, and it taught me tremendous mad about

170
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:16.639
myself, just communication, influence and
all that stuff, just human behavior.

171
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.440
As I listen to you talked to
heart, what comes to my mind is

172
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.519
as you mentioned, just really literally
walking your talk and all these different aspects.

173
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.440
It strikes me very much as just
really being profoundly authentic in a way

174
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.480
that makes you reachable, tenable to
people. Is that are you? Is

175
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.320
that part of what's happening here is
what you attempt to hope would happen.

176
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.200
Oh, I appreciate that, and
that's something that I definitely had to work

177
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.039
on over the years, is being
more and more transparent. And that's not

178
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.159
an easy process. You know,
we do like to guard certain things about

179
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.799
ourselves or have a defense mechanism up
all of us. But the more you

180
00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:00.000
know transparent, you could live a
life and there are no secrets anymore.

181
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.759
Or in a way when you think
about it, with technology the way that

182
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.960
it's progressing, you know, more
and more of your life is getting exposed

183
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.639
to the public eye. So the
more you can we the righteous life behind

184
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.639
closed doors, then you the less
you have to fear ultimately, and then

185
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:22.399
if you could you could walk in
that path, then then you are that

186
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:28.759
living example. You know. Just
a quick example of that is another guest

187
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.000
that I had on the show a
few months ago, Sean Anderson. He's

188
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.879
all about going the extra mile.
That's what he writes about. He's a

189
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.000
motivational speaker, he's a coach,
and what he does, Jared is he

190
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.279
literally will go into a country and
literally walk from one end of the country

191
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.960
to the other, usually over the
course of about a month or three weeks.

192
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.600
He literally goes the extra mile.
So there's this whole notion of everything

193
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.039
about his message is intertwined across his
life. Is that kind of what you're

194
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.000
getting at to, Absolutely, that's
unbelievable. Yeah, he's a great guy.

195
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.440
I highly recommend his stuff is great. I just I'm a huge fan.

196
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:07.360
So that's what resonated for me when
you were talking. Sure. Yeah.

197
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.519
One of the other things that I
wanted to share with our listeners today

198
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.919
is just this whole foundation that you
came from, Jarrett, from wrestling.

199
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.480
And you know what we didn't say
yet really per se, we haven't really

200
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.039
grounded this conversation, is that those
early experiences where you know, you were

201
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.720
in wrestling and I think for a
while you weren't winning anything, and then

202
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.200
you went to become a champion.
So maybe you could say a bit about

203
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.240
that. But what I want to
get to is the lessons that you learn

204
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.639
from from wrestling, and how maybe
you think they can be applied to other

205
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.440
areas of your life, whether it's
business, relationships, total well being.

206
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.000
Can you connect those thoughts for us, Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, thanks

207
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.600
for bringing this up. Wrestling is
an individualistic sport mainly you got you got

208
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.759
a team element involved, but there's
no one you could blame. You can't

209
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:58.000
displace blame on anybody else in that. I learned that lesson very early in

210
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.440
life that the less blame you place
upon other people, whether it's you blame

211
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.360
your genetics or your parents, or
you blame your circumstance in life or whatever

212
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.360
hand you were dealt, or people
around you, that it's this person's fault.

213
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.720
The less you do that, the
more power you ultimately gain, and

214
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.200
the better your light, your quality
of life will be. But most importantly,

215
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:22.600
what it really taught me is this
aspect of mental toughness. I believe

216
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.240
that I was a little soft before
I took up wrestling in a way mentally,

217
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.240
and it just opened a whole new
world for me. And I think

218
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:35.039
that I'm twenty nine, so I
live in a generation amongst where what guys

219
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.200
like David Goggins will call soft this
oft in generation in a way, and

220
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.559
I believe it's one hundred percent true. Now I believe that it's important in

221
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:50.360
a way for innovation that laziness,
for instance, breeds delivery at your door,

222
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:56.559
right, so it's innovative the iPhone
and all the all these stuff apps

223
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.840
that that we have. Convenience comes
out of the form usually of laziness in

224
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:06.879
a way. But you also have
to have a mental toughness, you know

225
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:11.240
element. And I think that wrestling
was was sort of that path, that

226
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.720
that right of passage for me to
be able to adopt that certain things that

227
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.559
I had to go through, whether
it was cutting weight and just h five

228
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.440
five practices a day, I went
to one of the most intense wrestling camps

229
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.519
in the country. Uh, and
tournaments every single weekend and so forth,

230
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.039
and that that grind and whether that
you put yourself through, you just look

231
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.399
back and you have that as there
was as reference points to be able to

232
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.120
go back and say, you know, I could get through this moment because

233
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.720
look at how much other stuff I've
done and uh and I do believe,

234
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.039
you know, the people need more
of mental toughness in their life. You

235
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.440
know, if you just look at
it from like average things that go on.

236
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:53.559
I mean the Empire State Building I
think was built in about fourteen months.

237
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.840
I mean they've been working on the
Belt Parkway for about eight years now,

238
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.559
you know. So, and there's
luck there's a lot of red tape

239
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.240
and stuff that we didn't have that
man and so forth. But if you

240
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.920
think about it, you could compare
generations and there was a certain mental toughness

241
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.200
that was there. And if you
can adopt that, you're gonna succeed in

242
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.319
life. Great is really the hidden
element and X factor that everybody needs to

243
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.359
adopt. Thank you for that,
Jarrett. That was just the time that

244

My guest is Jared Grossman, who
is the co founder of Muscle Product

272
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.319
and I sought after life coach and
business consultant. His world class advice is

273
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.920
drawn from his early childhood woes of
muscular transformation. People from all walks of

274
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.720
life, including sea level executives,
pro athletes, students, and sales managers

275
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.400
have come to Jarrett looking for a
transformation in their life including career empowerment,

276
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:21.799
financial stability, relationship success, emotional
mastery, and physical health. He is

277
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:27.039
the author of Cracking the Code,
the Hidden success behind Success Leadership and I

278
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.720
want to get this right and leaving
a legacy so important. I'm your host,

279
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.799
Alice Cortez. So we got a
pretty good foundation of where all of

280
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:40.839
this came from, Jarrett, where
really all of this amazing hutspy life to

281
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.039
call it started from. And now
you've taken and created an offering to help

282
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.200
other people. And I also want
to call out that you're only twenty nine

283
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.240
years old. I'm really jealous.
I wished I would have been able to

284
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.960
find a way to orient my life
the way that you did at that age.

285
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.480
It would have been amazing for me. So kudos for that as well.

286
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.519
Yeah, I appreciate. And look, there are fourteen year olds who

287
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.440
are blown away, so there's always
there was always something right. It's all

288
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.160
relative and right, Hunt Jared.
Okay, good to know. Okay,

289
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.640
cool. Well for this next segment
here, I want to kick us off.

290
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.559
You know, when you and I
first spoke in an introductory call about

291
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:17.839
your approach and you want to be
able to make a shift, you create

292
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.240
a vision and a reverse and then
you reverse engineer it, and that I

293
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:22.559
know that concept. I am not
at all good at it. By the

294
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.799
way. It sounds pretty simple at
the outset, but what is really involved

295
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:32.960
to pull it off? Well?
Sure, so I think that i'll sort

296
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.720
of get a little deep on on
you. I think you and your audience

297
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:37.599
can handle it. You know,
you put out a lot of intellectual stuff,

298
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:42.039
so right on my alley. But
basically, time is the fourth dimension.

299
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:47.000
We don't really think of it this
way. But if we were in

300
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:51.079
a two dimensional world, you would
think fourteenth Street and Second Avenue for instance.

301
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:53.799
Now in a third dimensional world,
it would be fourteenth Street, second

302
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:57.880
Avenue, and the eighth floor.
Now, just because we live in a

303
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.279
two dimensional world doesn't mean the eighth
floor doesn't exist. It just means we

304
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.599
can't access it. So we're in
a three dimensional world, but the fourth

305
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.079
dimension of time, we can't access
the future of the past. We're prisoners

306
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.079
at the present. But it doesn't
mean that it's not there. It doesn't

307
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.799
mean it's not going on right now. But I truly believe that the future

308
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.880
is within us. And if you
really just open to this concept that we

309
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.920
get glimpses of ourselves in the future, that we're destined to accomplish something.

310
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.559
For instance, where these dreams or
visions just come to us, these waking

311
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.319
dreams, and they come to us
out of nowhere in a way, and

312
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:37.720
they almost show up, Like if
I say where you're going to be?

313
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.759
Where are you going to be at
least in ten years or twenty years.

314
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.160
Is there an image that pops up? Oftentimes it might be a gray scale

315
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:49.000
image, and it might be fuzzy, it might be dark. And what

316
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.160
I do with my clients is I
try to hone in on this and don't

317
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.400
shy away from it. But now
we're going to really crystallize. We're going

318
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.279
to add color to it, and
we're going to turn it from this still

319
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.920
image and we're going to create a
movie out of it. You're going to

320
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.599
describe it in the men's detail,
Who are you with, what are you

321
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:10.079
wearing? Who else is there?
Where are you? And really hone in

322
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.880
on the qualities that you possess.
See Arnold schwartzony of what he said is

323
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:18.079
that visualization was his greatest gift.
And I think many many of us have

324
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:23.839
unconscious gifts. All of us do. And you want to find out what

325
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.440
success always leaves clues, right,
there's always a hidden blueprint, so to

326
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.759
speak. And if you can extract
what's going on behind somebody's success, and

327
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.160
I believe that Arnold's this was a
major critical component. But if you can

328
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:42.839
consciously do what these people unconsciously do, that they're sort of gifted with naturally,

329
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.640
you just need to figure out what's
going on in their mind. I'll

330
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:51.279
give you an example. My girlfriend, for instance, has an unbelievable memory,

331
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:56.799
and I really just dug deep with
questions in terms of why is that

332
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:02.079
so? And what I found out
after this question is that there's mental images

333
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.079
that she's creating every time. If
she wants to remember a sequence of numbers,

334
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:10.799
she's relating these numbers to events in
her pass for instance. Now most

335
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:12.599
of us don't do that when we're
trying to do it, but that's why

336
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.640
she has an exquisite memory. But
now you could consciously do it. So

337
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.799
it was just really understanding this real
gift that Arnold had, for instance,

338
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:26.200
that that opened my eyes to this
that Okay, he saw himself on a

339
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.839
bodybuilding stage at the exact arena that
he was going to win it years prior

340
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.960
to him actually winning it, but
he saw it in such detail with people's

341
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.960
faces, for instance, them screaming
Arnold. Arnold, He saw the bodybuilders

342
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.839
around him, He saw the wood
grain floor on the stage. But it

343
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.839
was it wasn't a still image,
it wasn't gray, it wasn't dark.

344
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.559
It was a movie that was playing
out in his mind and then it was

345
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:52.000
like autopilot for him. So once
you could tap into that real glimpse,

346
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.599
it's not it's not fake. It's
not just like this dreamland. It's real.

347
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.640
It's within you. It's the future. It's like when the CD ROM

348
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:03.960
when you put it in and you
press you press play, you're listening to

349
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.799
it or viewing it for the very
first time. But the disc was encoded

350
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.759
all the way back in the lab. It was in the warehouse, right,

351
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.359
so you're just opened the package for
the first time. You've got to

352
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.880
believe. If you believe in an
afterlife, so to speak many of us

353
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.279
do, that means that this comes
before the afterlife. Well, what's to

354
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:27.599
say that there's not something that comes
before this? And once you recognize that,

355
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:33.119
then you say, well, then
there's information that was probably encoded before

356
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.119
I even got here, so to
speak, and now it's just a matter

357
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:41.759
of tapping into it. That was
incredibly chris and compelling. Jared, thank

358
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:45.640
you for that. I really got
present to one, just really really painting

359
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.920
strongly the picture and even just the
site, smells, sounds, everything in

360
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.400
there. That that really brought it
home for me. Thank you for that.

361
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:59.000
Absolutely all right, awesome. You'll
tell us you're that image that popped

362
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.079
up? Hopefully, well I will, but probably off air for starters know

363
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:04.759
who knows? Who knows? Maybe
I'll share it, but I did get

364
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:08.480
one. It was interesting. And
speaking of that, Jared, you know,

365
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.559
here you are a young, very
accomplishment and you've already coached hundreds of

366
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.119
people. I don't know, maybe
there's maybe it's even thousands of people.

367
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.720
And if you add the group settings
in there, what I want to get

368
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.759
from you? And if you shows
for the benefit of our listeners, what

369
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:25.960
do you What have you learned by
doing that kind of work that might be

370
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:32.319
useful for our listeners to know.
So, after studying all these different people

371
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:40.400
with different dreams or desires or situations
that they want to overcome, what we're

372
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:44.559
all seeking in a way is fulfillment, and fulfillment is twofold. It's basically

373
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.599
it's an inner blueprint of achievement that
we want to achieve, and everybody's got

374
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.000
sort of an inter blueprint. And
to discuss exactly what that is, it's

375
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.240
like a seed going into the ground
and it's either going to be a pinetre,

376
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.680
an oak, tree, there's a
destiny, there's a purpose there,

377
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:03.319
and it's within us too. And
then the second part is feeling at peace

378
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.440
within along that journey, and obviously
when you accomplish certain things, so you

379
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:12.079
need both elements. But basically what
it is is it doesn't matter who you

380
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:18.000
talk to and what their situation is. We're all usually going through a journey,

381
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:21.920
and we've got some lots of strengths
and we've got some challenges and weaknesses.

382
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.119
But everybody who I've worked with is
looking to rid of any and all

383
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.519
suffering for the rest of their lives. Essentially, it's everybody, and it's

384
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.920
you break break down the route.
So my quest and obsession has been how

385
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:40.680
do I find those answers to be
able to eliminate suffering people? Essentially?

386
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.039
And there are commonalities and root causes
and uh, you know, I could

387
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.759
I could go into detail with that. I can tell you that I don't

388
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.039
know what answer I expected you to
say. But that wasn't it. That

389
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.880
was so much better. That was
profound, Jared, That's that's really amazing.

390
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:00.920
I just got to take a moment
and take that in for just a

391
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:06.880
second. That was that was that
kind of took my breath away dared awesome

392
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.279
things. It is awesome. Well, the first thing that you said,

393
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:11.440
and I wrote it down there,
I'd loved this what you just said there,

394
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.920
that fulfillment is an inter blueprint of
achievement that is just cool and profound.

395
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:21.200
I know that you have an eight
part process that you have worked on

396
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.880
to toward achieving fulfillment in life and
work, and of course I'm hopelessly curious

397
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:29.039
about that, because I get people
all the time asking me how how do

398
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.119
I find fulfillment? Especially at work? Will you share with us this eight

399
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:40.119
part process? Yeah? Absolutely so. Basically, while we were hinting on

400
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:45.359
earlier in terms of the fulfillment,
the peace within and understanding the hundreds of

401
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.759
thousands of people that I've worked with
what those causes are, it really comes

402
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:53.000
down to eight areas of life.
And what I like to do is you

403
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:56.359
could draw out a wheel. For
instance, there's lots of like wheels of

404
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:02.240
life, and you could map out
this sort of like a pizza pie and

405
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:07.480
split up these eight sections so you
could do mission as one. And I'll

406
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:15.799
get into in detail exactly what each
of these eight stand for our symbolize mission.

407
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:21.039
We've got abundance as another one.
We've got control, we've got connection,

408
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:26.759
we've got family, we've got foundation, we've got wisdom, and we've

409
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.720
got a legacy. Now let me
explain a little bit, but basically,

410
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:37.680
what we want to understand is that
we all have strengths and weaknesses that are

411
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.720
going on right now. The more
you focus on your strengths, you're probably

412
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:48.400
furthering the imbalance of your life.
When we get motivation, we're usually ramping

413
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.200
it up in the areas were already
strong. I'll give you an example.

414
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:55.680
I was a wrestler, I was
begging took working out for a majority of

415
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:57.519
my life. There were other things
that were crashing and burning in my life.

416
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.240
But every time that I listened to
a pump up so long I got

417
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.440
juice is flowing. It was always
go to the gym, run do a

418
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.759
workout, right, so many people
are there. For instance, it could

419
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:12.799
be career. You're totally invested in
career somebody, and every time that you

420
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:17.000
get energy, it's like back to
the office, do this thing. But

421
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:18.920
meanwhile, other things are suffering.
It could be your health, it could

422
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.759
be your relationships or so forth.
So it isn't until you figure out where

423
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:27.079
these weak points are. That then
you could start bringing your life into balance,

424
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:33.240
experience a better quality of life,
and then you could then hyper focus

425
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:40.039
in your career for instance. And
it's sort of like a micro macro thing.

426
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.519
The macro has to have balance.
The micro within your career has to

427
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:48.480
be all chips all in and a
discipline for instance. But I'll walk you

428
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.000
through each of these areas if we
have time. Yeah, please do go

429
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:56.240
for it. Yeah. So mission
is basically you're you feel like you're on

430
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:02.240
a mission every single day. Career
empowerment, like you are making a difference

431
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:07.200
on earth with your work. We've
got abundance, which is financial stability.

432
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.480
Obviously just understanding the financial game and
investments and all that stuff. It's obviously

433
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.720
a very important tool of money and
overlook by a lot of people, you

434
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.559
know, in terms of it's a
resources. It's like a hammer. You

435
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.880
could build a house with it.
And money is just going to allow you

436
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:29.759
a great opportunity to do lots of
things. And then we've got we've got

437
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:36.160
control, which is managing and mastering
your emotions. If you could reframe any

438
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:40.759
negative thought you get and take positive
action, you're a master of your emotions

439
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.839
right, There's many other people who
they get a negative thought and then they

440
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.559
live with depression or anxiety for weeks
or months on end, and they don't

441
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.839
know how to snap out of it. There's a deficiency there. We've got

442
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.240
connection, which is a spiritual connection
to the universe, to yourself, to

443
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.880
a higher power for instance, whatever
you believe in. We've got family.

444
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.799
I believe that family is the brick
of society. We're not an individualistic society,

445
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:09.160
where a familial society. And how
how deep is your relationship with your

446
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:13.680
significant other? Do you really feel
like you have a soulmate? Do you

447
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:19.599
connect at a deep level? You
are a great, great parent, brother,

448
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.480
sister, or all that kind of
stuff. And then we've got foundation.

449
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:28.039
Foundation is your health, your internal
health. Hopefully everything's going on okay

450
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.279
externally. You like the way you
look, although I believe that it's more

451
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:35.160
ancillary in a sense. And then
we've got your energy levels, which are

452
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.200
highly important. Do you really feel
like you're on fire every single day?

453
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:42.039
And that I call that foundation.
And then we've got wisdom and how much

454
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.680
mental training are you put your putting
yourself through and growing? And then we've

455
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.240
got legacy. This is the outward
expression of yourself. How many people,

456
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:54.000
for instance, would be moved by
your loss, not as an egotistical type

457
00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:58.880
of thing, in terms of your
funeral, how many people would show up

458
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:04.559
there in essence because they would be
so saddened by what what you impact you

459
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:10.400
made and contributed to society. I
really appreciate that you articulated all eight of

460
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:13.599
those the way that you did,
because I really like to make sure that

461
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:16.559
my listeners can walk away with something
very actionable that they can put right to

462
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:20.920
work. So that was a very
generous share, Jared, thank you,

463
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.279
I got I got a lot from
that too. Yeah, and I and

464
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.960
I that whole notion of legacy is
fascinating to me too, as somebody who

465
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:31.200
works with executives. What people don't
necessarily get is that you don't have to

466
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.279
be an executive or leader or a
leader to legal legacy. And it's just

467
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:39.359
so important that the way you articulated
that applies to all of us just gorgeous.

468
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.160
Yeah, and friendships you know would
be included in that as well.

469
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.599
How deep is your impact with just
the people in your your your circle kind

470
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:51.119
of thing? You know, that's
the legacy that you're leaving every single day.

471
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:55.200
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now
you sort of talked about this Yeret,

472
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:59.400
but I wanted to call it out
specifically because I've been long fascinated with

473
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:04.720
with with idea and the area of
motivation, and you have you said many

474
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.200
things about it around in a different
way. But if you can't, you

475
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.679
could tell us, as a performance
coach, how do you or maybe don't

476
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:15.159
you help people understand and activate their
own motivation. So, in terms of

477
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:19.840
motivation, there's two types. There's
push motivation and pull motivation. So push

478
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:23.079
motivation is basically, you know,
yelling at somebody to accomplish a task,

479
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:30.039
or you think, drill sergeant,
that that maybe seal image that we get

480
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.280
in our head or whatnot, that
you got that disciplinary you know, action

481
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.639
behind you. Now, that's that
will get stuff done. But usually short

482
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.800
term, as soon as that goes
away, then what else is driving you?

483
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:46.960
You relied on this external source forever
that now you don't have anything internal.

484
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:51.639
So pull motivation, I find is
much more powerful. You know,

485
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.760
external motivation is more like a bath. You need to do it every single

486
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:59.199
day. You need to find something
inspirational from outside of you. But again

487
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:02.639
going back to this vision and what
you ultimately want to achieve. That's the

488
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:07.480
real pull, that's what's going to
get you. That Arnold autopilot where he

489
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.559
said that he didn't have to,
you know, worry about eating broccoli and

490
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.599
pushing himself to failure and pushing himself
to do because it was just it was

491
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:19.519
so deep the vision, and it
was intrinsic, it was internal within him.

492
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:23.320
It was there was such deep reasons
behind why he wanted to accomplish this

493
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:27.840
thing that it was almost on an
autopilot. And that that's a place where

494
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:31.960
I try to get my clients to
another very crisp articulation on that, jarrett

495
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:37.480
I, as a person who studied
psychology, of course I'm failiar with extrinsic

496
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:40.239
and intrinsic motivation, and the way
you distinguish pushing pull is so much more.

497
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.280
There's more that I think people can
attach themselves to the way you describe

498
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:50.320
that so very very helpful. Awesome, amazing. Yeah, yeah, so

499
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.719
your motivation can you While we're on
the topic of motivation, how do you

500
00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:59.159
keep yourself motivated towards your your what
you want in your life. I know

501
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:01.039
it's got to be related to your
mission, but how do you keep yourself

502
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:07.119
on track. Sometimes it's hard.
You know, I'm not going to sit

503
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:13.079
here and you know every day is
just like you know, this beautiful Grahamarage

504
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.760
kind of thing. You got,
you gotta you gotta do. Look,

505
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:22.800
you have to look for certain sources
that are gonna that resonate deep within your

506
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.599
core as who you see yourself as. So, for instance, Bruce Lee,

507
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:32.199
what he did is he did something
very taboo. He studied lots of

508
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:38.280
martial arts disciplines and it was taboo
because it was disrespectful to the dojo that

509
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:43.079
you basically had to be committed to
one. And he recognized, no,

510
00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.000
there's lots of things I can take
away from lots of disciplines, and he

511
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:51.800
came up with this phrase basically,
extract the useful and discard the useless.

512
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:54.599
And with that being said, you
got to do that with certain people,

513
00:36:54.679 --> 00:37:00.480
for instance, qualities You look up
to them because they're speaking out to certain

514
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:04.119
qualities that you want probably already have
a little glimpse of, but you feel

515
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.639
deficient in it because it's not again
that future timeline where you're going you're supposed

516
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:13.039
to be that once you really tap
into it, then you could actually close

517
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:16.239
the gap and you could recognize I'm
going to extract a useful from this person.

518
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:21.800
From this and there's and I'm talking
about with people within your inner circle.

519
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:24.519
Everybody's doing something right at every second
kind of thing, and it's up

520
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:30.719
to you to either extract what's going
on to benefit you or you could just

521
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.719
shy away and just say, well, this is nonsensical, it's useless.

522
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.679
I don't think this person is a
pain in mind, you know what,

523
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:44.480
but they're probably doing something that you're
just you're just missing or your eyes aren't

524
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:46.280
open to it. But if you
could really extract it. And that's sort

525
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:50.280
of my motivation is just to be
the best person I could be, and

526
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:54.519
that's moving towards the concept of being
Goodness is the best way I could describe

527
00:37:54.559 --> 00:38:00.559
it. Just totally pure energy and
that's only going to come by finding the

528
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:05.280
beauty in all things. What a
beautiful way to take us into the break

00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:53.519
and contribution. I'm your host,
Elise Cortez, So for this last segment

561
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:55.840
here we want to get into I
want to get into a few things,

562
00:40:57.000 --> 00:41:00.639
especially around this notion of mindfulness,
which is something that does it talked about,

563
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:05.159
but I'm not sure that people fully
fully understand well. But before we

564
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.920
get into that jet, I have
to ask, as a person who is

565
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:10.559
currently writing her first full book,
I got to ask, why did you

566
00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:15.039
write Cracking the Code? And and
what is it that you hope to leave

567
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:22.559
your readers with awesome questions? So
I've always wanted to write a book.

568
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:24.440
I didn't know how I would go
about doing it in a way, and

569
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:30.119
many people within my inner circle,
for instance, you know, employees of

570
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.639
mine for instance, and also family
members say you know, you should write

571
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:37.800
a book because I was at the
dinner table just speeling a lot of this

572
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:42.400
stuff so forth. So it came
about from from that where I would actually

573
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:44.639
just made sort of a decision to
say, Okay, I'm going to do

574
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.199
this now the process and hopefully this
helps you out at least like it did

575
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:53.079
me. That it's much more difficult
to sit down and write from page one

576
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:58.679
onward and have sort of the set
plan It's going to be X amount of

577
00:41:58.760 --> 00:42:01.199
chapters and I'm going to write the
three hundred page But for me, it

578
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:07.159
was more take my content that was
already out there and compile it, organize

579
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:13.239
it in a very sixtint fashion,
and expand upon it. Elaborate upon this

580
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:16.719
idea that you wrote about it in
a little article or a blog, this

581
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:22.559
video, get it transcribed, and
now you can really clean it up and

582
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:25.639
organize it. Maybe it's going to
mix. You have to mix and match

583
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:30.079
it in different chapters or so forth. So that's where I came up with

584
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:35.239
the amount of content that I did. I think it's about three hundred close

585
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:37.119
to three hundred thirty pages of the
book or so forth. Now what I

586
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:42.679
like to leave is just basically that
concept of imparting wisdom so that people can

587
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:49.519
better understand themselves and just move closer
to the real ideal version of themselves to

588
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:54.000
be the best people that they can
obviously be. That really resonates with me,

589
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:57.960
Jared, and I really get that. I certainly have always been a

590
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:01.159
ma as though fan, always working
towards the ever elusive self actualization. Right.

591
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:05.000
We never really get there, I
don't think, but we continue to

592
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:08.239
aspire for it. And I will
confess to you that one of my major

593
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:13.760
motivations for deciding to become a parent
fourteen years ago. I wasn't going to

594
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:15.760
it first because I'm the oldest of
four and thought I had already raised children.

595
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:20.480
But I ultimately did so, Jarrett, because I really thought that I

596
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:24.639
probably couldn't become the best version of
a human being without that experience. And

597
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:28.599
I think it's been true for me
because it's certainly you know, it's been

598
00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:31.280
absolutely joyous but certainly also challenging.
I did I mention, I've got a

599
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:37.440
fourteen year old, So I appreciate
this whole notion of trying to become the

600
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:42.239
best version of yourself that is,
and the fact that you can distill it

601
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:46.960
that way is terrific and in encouraging
for me. Thank you, of course.

602
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:50.280
Yeah, And that's the quest,
right, that's the old way I

603
00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:53.360
sort of you know, took Maso's
ideas and creating my own formula. I'll

604
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:57.519
just run through them quickly. If
we have we have from time, you

605
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.679
bet go for it. So basically, if you envision a char angle just

606
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.880
like the sort of Maso's pyramids and
so forth, hierarchical news the bottom we

607
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.920
basically I call it foundation. And
this is sort of like your physical and

608
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:14.760
emotional well being and then the ladder
up from there is basically a concept of

609
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.599
meaningful purpose and work. So this
is why we go off to school and

610
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:22.920
we try to find a career that
we really are passionate about or that we're

611
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:24.880
skilled in, for instance, Right, But it's ultimately the real need is

612
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:29.920
meaningful purpose at work. And then
above that you eventually get to a place

613
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.480
of providing. You want to be
a provider, and this is where parenting.

614
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.239
You know, you got your fourteen
year old probably a beautiful, beautiful

615
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:39.719
child. You know that you've been
able to shape and mold and so forth,

616
00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:44.320
but it's really a need to provide. And then ultimately we could get

617
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:50.000
to enlightenment. Right. And then
the level above that is teaching enlightenment because

618
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:52.760
if you can articulate something now you
know it way better, and the teacher

619
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:58.280
always learns more than the student.
That's something that I've always stood by to

620
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:01.239
be able to administer a lot of
this content in a way. Now this

621
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:07.960
triangle goes up and this is the
way to maximum amount of pleasure of what

622
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:12.079
I've what I've discovered. But there's
a complete reverse that could lead you in

623
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:17.239
eternal pain. So instead of and
I think that mas well, for instance,

624
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:21.840
they hinted at this, but they
never really illustrated it. And I

625
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:23.679
want to illustrate it for a lot
of people because I think it helps people

626
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:30.119
understand so if we'll meet our emotional
well being and our physical well being that

627
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:34.079
foundation through survival. I believe this
is why a lot of people resort to

628
00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:38.800
drugs. There's a natural way that
will be beneficial to you, for instance,

629
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:44.800
that can provide you with that path
going upward, but we often resort

630
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:47.280
to the quick fix, for instance, and I call it survival. You're

631
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:51.320
just looking to survive in essence.
Now, there's not a whole bunch of

632
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.440
malicious intent in that. That's why
it's only the first layer. The intent

633
00:45:54.559 --> 00:46:00.079
get gets worse as this downward trial
you could vision as a diamond. The

634
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:06.599
opposite of meaningful purpose and work is
significance. That you're trying to feel ultimately

635
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:09.679
superior to other people because of this
thing that you do. It's an ego

636
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:15.239
gratification kind of thing, but you
usually put other people down in that component,

637
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:17.480
or you live in pain. If
you think about it, If I

638
00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:22.960
make one hundred thousand, and I
view myself as somebody better than somebody who's

639
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:27.320
making fifty thousand, that's all great
and well, But as soon as somebody

640
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:30.480
comes along is making half a million, now you feel inadequate. And the

641
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:32.760
only way you'll feel adequate again is
if you make more than a half a

642
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:37.960
million, only because you place your
value system there, so it leads you

643
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.880
in pain ultimately, So you've got
to do it for a deeper reason.

644
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:44.639
Again, the proper intent is going
to be that meaningful purpose and work.

645
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:49.320
And then the opposite of providing ultimately
is domination. I call it. It's

646
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:53.840
really this feeling of superiority where you
really try to try to put other people

647
00:46:53.960 --> 00:47:00.119
down. It's not necessarily for instance, you know somebody could be a be

648
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:02.679
a father, but not take care
of their child for instance. It's more

649
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:07.880
of a feeling of dominating, not
really because you actually want to provide for

650
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:10.159
another human being, and it's a
it's a travesty that's going on. I

651
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:15.960
think the rise of single mother is
one of an epidemic that we really need

652
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:20.760
to fix. And then the opposite
of enlightenment is going down a path of

653
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:24.360
manipulative intelligence. You're only becoming intelligence
so that you can manipulate other people.

654
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:30.559
And then the opposite of teaching enlightenment
would be to teach fear how to enskill

655
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:36.000
fear and others, if that all
makes sense. I've just been sitting here

656
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:39.119
listening to this going what a perfect
guest you are for working on purpose the

657
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:43.280
radio show. I mean just perfect, Jared. I mean, I couldn't

658
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:46.239
have asked for ask for a better
way to kind of talk about your message

659
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:50.639
and situated in regard to the stuff
that I really care about. So that

660
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:52.920
was delicious and I'm so glad it's
on tape and audio and we can actually

661
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:59.239
transcribe it. Thank you, and
I will thank you so much. Yeah.

662
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:01.679
Yeah, you know, we work, We work a lot in long

663
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:06.159
hours to be able to formulate these
ideas right, and then takes a while

664
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:10.159
to articulate them, but eventually it
comes together. It's a fantastic offering to

665
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:14.840
our listeners. It really is what
you just did there, Yeah, and

666
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:17.400
everything it took me a while to
figures out. But all the pleasure in

667
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:22.519
life comes from the intent that it
precedes it, you know, So the

668
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:27.239
more malicious your intent, the more
pain you're going to ultimately leaven. And

669
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:31.679
obviously it's it's leaving others in pain
too, So always move towards that upper

670
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:37.000
triangle. M We're getting close to
the end of time already together, So

671
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:40.239
I want to be sure and get
one one question that I really had thought

672
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:45.679
about asking you out here. I
am a person who is profoundly connected to

673
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:49.400
the idea of physical fitness. I
work out six days a week. I'm

674
00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:52.320
if I foot seven way about one
hundred and twenty one pounds. I really

675
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:59.199
enjoy being fit, and I'm interested
in your perception, your perspective on how

676
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:05.920
we connect fit with mindfulness and productivity. Absolutely so. I mean, they've

677
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:12.199
done study after study that shows that
people who exercise a lot actually activate more

678
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:16.320
neural connections in their brain for instance, with their body, that their mind

679
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:22.239
is activating at a sharper level,
and you're getting more oxygen and blood flow,

680
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:27.199
for instance. So I try to
work out, do something physical every

681
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:31.599
single day. Doesn't mean an intense
weightlifting session necessarily, but get walking,

682
00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:36.760
moving, or but I love intense
sprints and so forth. I feel like

683
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:42.119
it just motion creates, creates emotion. I'm sure everybody's sort of heard that,

684
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:47.159
right, Energy and emotion. So
it gives you a different physio physiology,

685
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.079
but it's also going to change your
psychology in terms of how you process

686
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:55.519
things. But it's also going to
get you to just appreciate life more and

687
00:49:55.639 --> 00:50:00.920
be more grateful for it. So
definitely with them, with them fulness component

688
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:04.360
of it, you're going to be
able to be more focused and be able

689
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:08.679
to be more present. I hadn't
heard motion creates emotion, but that does

690
00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:14.159
make complete sense to me, Jarrett. It does for me. It feels

691
00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:17.840
like the more I am in tune
with my fitness level and I stay committed

692
00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:22.400
to that, the more I am
able to focus. Is that basically what

693
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:24.440
I think I just heard you say
there, Yeah, I think so.

694
00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:28.400
And you know, when you when
your diet strays too, when you eat

695
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:30.679
junk, your your mind, your
mind sort of follows. You know,

696
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:36.480
the mind and the body are very
interconnected, and often the pain that we

697
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.000
experience, you know, in our
body is a lot of emotional pain.

698
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:44.039
There's doctor Sane talked about this with
that pain for instance, wrote books.

699
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:49.000
But it makes perfect sense when you
think that the brain is connected to the

700
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:52.639
central nervous system, which is connected
to the periphle nervous system. So the

701
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.000
pain that you feel is very much
connected to the thoughts that you have a

702
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:59.280
lot of the time. Now you
do have to weigh that in with you

703
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.320
know, physical degeneration and all that
stuff. You know, it's not just

704
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:05.920
mind or matter. There is nine
end matter kind of thing, but they're

705
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:10.559
one in essence when you really integrate
it, and it all ties together.

706
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:16.840
Okay. I also feel like that
I'm far more creative and able to handle

707
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:20.960
stress better when I keep myself true
not just to my exercise, but as

708
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:22.679
you also mentioned to my diet,
I had a guest on who talked about

709
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.920
being able to distinguish cleansing and clogging
foods, and I can totally do that.

710
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.480
I totally understand the difference from myself, and you also helped me trace

711
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:35.239
that together in terms of how my
overall scent of it and ability to be

712
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:37.960
mindful when I put those two dimensions
together. So thank you for that.

713
00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:45.159
Hey, I learned just as much
through this whole process too. You know

714
00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:49.559
it should be that way, right, That's this is exactly both of us

715
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:54.480
should walk away with maybe one slightly
new different idea. Yeah, and with

716
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:58.400
that, Jared, we're really close
to being at a time I like to

717
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:00.440
be able to give my guests,
if you will, something of the last

718
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:04.480
words. So in about a minute
or so, what would you like to

719
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:07.599
leave our listeners with today? Yeah, So that main thing I think if

720
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:13.880
you really explore the personal wheel that
you create for yourself, really just assess

721
00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:16.960
and analyze where you are in terms
of those eight areas, and you're going

722
00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:23.159
to naturally be inclined or drawn to
focus on the areas where you're already strong

723
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:28.199
throughout life. And I could tell
you with everybody I work for, this

724
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:31.199
wheel never fails that as soon as
we assess it, I know exactly where

725
00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:37.400
those source of stress is. And
it isn't until you really balance this wheel

726
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:40.159
out that you're going to eliminate your
stress. And at that point, now

727
00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:44.320
you could approach everything with a clear
mind, and then you could bow it

728
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:46.639
out to a ten out of ten
and max it out in all areas and

729
00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:52.440
then from there the triangle going up
as opposed to going down. One is

730
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:55.960
fear based, it's always fear based, and the other is goodness is love

731
00:52:57.039 --> 00:53:00.280
based. So the more actions you
could do in terms of in terms of

732
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:07.400
understanding other people, being aware of
other people's whatever they're going through, now

733
00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:10.199
judging less judgment you have, the
less pain you'll ultimately be living through because

734
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:15.440
it's operating with good intent. It's
moving closer up that ladder towards love.

735
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:16.960
That's going to be the backs pleasure
that you're going to seek in life.

736
00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:21.840
Wonderful way to finish. Jarrett,
