00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.759
There are some people that make their
work just another thing they have to do,

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.800
and there are those that make their
work something that they want to do.

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.199
Welcome to Working on Purpose with your
host Elise Cortes. In our program,

4
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:24.480
we provide guidance and inspiration from those
people who have found deeper meaning and

5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:29.920
personal connection to their work life.
It's beyond nine to five. It's working

6
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.799
on purpose. Now Here is your
host, Elise Cortes. Welcome back to

7
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.679
Working on Purpose. Thanks for tuning
in again this week. I'm your host,

8
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.320
Elise Cortes. Joiney from Dallas,
Texas home base for me. This

9
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.039
program is all about helping people more
meaningfully and productively connect with their work and

10
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.200
equipping organizations to do the same for
their employees. It was originally inspired by

11
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.200
the meaning and work research I've been
doing over the last fifteen years and I'm

12
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.399
now writing a book about and it
complements the work that I do Insignia,

13
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.200
which is a global management consulting firm. First, let me thank my media

14
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.760
partner and sponsor, jobbing dot com. They are the leading locally focused job

15
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.519
board in the nation and they are
dedicated to helping employers find quality talent in

16
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.879
their own backyard. While getting jobs
control of their search, they can find

17
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.239
work close to home. Last week, if you missed the show, we

18
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.760
were on the air with doctor Norman
Baldwin, who is professor of political science

19
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.840
at the University of Alabama. He
is also the author of Winning at Following,

20
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:26.079
Secrets to Success and Supporting Roles.
We talked about the importance of supporting

21
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.920
and developing individual contributors and organizations,
how supporters can develop their own value within

22
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.519
the companies they work for, and
how leaders can better support and grow those

23
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.799
who follow and carry out their missions. Great conversation For a conversation this week

24
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.560
we have Jarrett Grossman, who is
the co founder of Muscle Prodigy and well

25
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.120
known performance coach with a tremendous online
social media following. We'll be talking about

26
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.159
mindset shifts and the right habits to
adopt for cultivating success in all endeavors,

27
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.480
and his own approach to helping people
develop healthy and successful mindsets across life and

28
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.799
work. Along with He's got an
eight part process defining fulfilling work. Really

29
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.439
fun conversation, it promises to be. Jarrett joined it today from Boca Raton,

30
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.039
Florida. Jarrett, Welcome, to
working on purpose. Thank you so

31
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.520
much for having me else first,
Tec, I'd so loved to say.

32
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.560
And first, let me just say, you know, I love that accent,

33
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.680
Jarrett, that East Coast accent.
Where are you from originally? I'm

34
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.560
from Long Island. I love it. I absolutely love it. Don't ever

35
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.159
lose that accent. Okay, well, let's just bring our listeners right into

36
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.680
your world. I have a profound
appreciation for what you've done in your life,

37
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.439
Derek, and how you've turned yourself
around. When you were young,

38
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.439
people might say that you started off
with perhaps a disadvantage start to life.

39
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.319
So will you tell us about that
eighth I think or maybe ninth grade experience

40
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.039
and what it's taught you about how
to succeed in life. Absolutely so,

41
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:53.039
basically what happened to illustrate, I
got beat up when I was in the

42
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.960
eighth grade, as you mentioned,
by a kid younger than me, and

43
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.159
it taught me that there's going to
be a lot of bullies in life,

44
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.840
whether it's people individuals who want to
fight you, or whether it's bills or

45
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.919
whatever the situation may be, and
the only way to overcome them, they're

46
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.639
going to come one after the other. And universe is sort of going to

47
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:20.520
point these obstacles your way and continue
to give you struggle until you look into

48
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.639
the mirror and say that you've got
to get stronger, both from a mental

49
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.719
aspect of physical aspect. And that's
when I really just understood the power of

50
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:34.680
accountability and I was able to transform
my body. I double my body weight,

51
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.199
so eventually got up to about two
hundred pounds overall and under six percent

52
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.560
body fat. So I sort of
master the art of that physical transformation,

53
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.479
and then I wanted to be able
to empower other people to be able to

54
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.520
get onto that. But most importantly
the mindset to just understand that if you

55
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.599
envision something different or you don't like
something the way that it is right now,

56
00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:00.879
that you do have the power to
be able to change it. Jarret.

57
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.120
It's such an incredible testament too,
I think the human spirit and I

58
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.560
know we're going to talk more about
this, but just I got to grab

59
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:11.759
it really quick to what do you
attribute your ability in that moment as an

60
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.040
eighth creator to figure out that whole
important life lesson that you've really fundably built

61
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:18.720
a business on. I mean,
where did that come from? You know?

62
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.680
I think some things are there,
you're guided throughout the process. You

63
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.920
know a little bit of people in
your circle in your direction that are sort

64
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.720
of pointing the finger or go here
in a way. And definitely you know

65
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:38.639
people around me, my parents.
I had some mentors in my life,

66
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.959
for instance, a wrestling coach who
really believed in me and stilled a lot

67
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.560
of inconfidence in me before I even
had confidence in myself. And at that

68
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:53.839
point it was just a ball that
took momentum and just snowballed. So you

69
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.160
know, people come into your life, they'll give you tips and pointers,

70
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.959
and you could either have your ego
up and say they don't know what they

71
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.279
hell they're talking about it, I
think, or you could really just internalize

72
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.079
it and say maybe the got something
here and then you can get to work.

73
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.720
The power of a really good association
is well illustrated there. Thank you

74
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.839
for that, Jared, Okay,
I want to get into the story of

75
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.720
how you actually started Muscle Prodigy.
I think one of the things that I

76
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.439
find fascinating is well one of how
people actually come about starting a business.

77
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.519
And you have created a very successful
business. And I love being a management

78
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.319
consultant working with people that have already
well established businesses, but we often forget

79
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.560
how they actually begin. So will
you tell us the story of how Muscle

80
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:40.399
Producty came to be? Absolutely?
So. I was in college with my

81
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.160
childhood friend Ritchie Allen, and we
were really into weightlifting. We lifted up

82
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.959
this gym called BEV Francis Powerhouse Gym. It's known as the East Coast Mecca

83
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.120
bodybuilding. So you got Venice Beach
on the West coast, this is sort

84
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.839
of the East Coast and there's bodybuilders
of the the highest stature who go in

85
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.360
there and work out every single day, whether it's mister Olympians like Phil Heath

86
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.319
or Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman and
so forth. So we grew up around

87
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:14.360
this camaraderie in this community, and
we were really passionate about Finnis and I

88
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.000
know what it did for me in
my life, and there was such a

89
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:23.959
strong emotional response within me that I
really understood the power of transformation and change

90
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.639
again, not just physically but mentally, that if you don't like something,

91
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.319
you can change in and there's nothing
more powerful than being able to see that

92
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.160
change in the mirror take place right
before you've very eyes. That then you

93
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.879
could say, well, maybe I
can make this relationship better, or the

94
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.160
way that I respond to react to
certain people that come in my life,

95
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.079
or if I want to make more
money, you were have a greater impacts

96
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.959
on society, whatever it is.
So it's just crashing down those limiting beliefs.

97
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.199
And one of those limiting beliefs that
I had was that you can't really

98
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.959
make money. And what you're passionate
about, I'll give you sort of a

99
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.560
prelude. I was heading down a
career in investment banking, were for a

100
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:09.240
pretty large investment bank firm, and
then quickly realized, you know, that

101
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.839
might not be where my calling is
in essence, and I went to law

102
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:18.040
school and quickly realized that wasn't my
passion, so started up this blog while

103
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:23.959
I was in law school with Richie
Allen. We wrote hundreds of articles,

104
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.839
thousands of articles, did lots of
videos to promote it, and then you

105
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.839
sort of gained a little bit of
notoriety of following. It's it's very incremental

106
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:38.160
changes, you know. It's not
like you know, these these huge leaps

107
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.000
and bounds that come overnight. But
after years of plugging away, you do

108
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.279
get some rewards. And so forth, But that's sort of how it spawned.

109
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.000
And from there, you know where
we're continuing to just innovate and provide

110
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:56.439
as much as much value as possible
to our customer and user base. I

111
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.560
have to call out really quick,
that's fascinating ITUB for the longest time,

112
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.920
didn't think that you could make money
at your passion. I will, I

113
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.279
will fully confess that, and I
appreciate very much that you had the same

114
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.079
belief limiting belief. Yes, yes, absolutely, you know you if you

115
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.279
work as sort of a grind,
especially when you expect a lot of yourself,

116
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.920
your family expects a lot of yourself
that you got to you got to

117
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.199
go down the traditional mantras. You
know, I come from a family of

118
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.720
high achievers so to speak, you
know, and the apple doesn't fall far

119
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.040
from the tree. You expect a
lot of yourself, as I'm sure you

120
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.639
do at least right, and that
that carries over. But there's certain professions

121
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.360
that we blanket as being, you
know, the we made it type of

122
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.840
thing. And then there's other things
that your heart may be calling to that

123
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.120
you may doubt to say, well, how how can I turn this and

124
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.879
monetize it? And you can if
you if you really just open your eyes

125
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.600
to the right behaviors that will take
to succeed there. That's so encouraging for

126
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.279
our listeners out there that are trying
to do just that monetize their passion.

127
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.639
One of the things that I also
find fascinating compelling about you, Jared,

128
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.879
is you have one of the clearest
mission statements that I've really ever seen,

129
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.879
and I think that's got to be
part of what drives your success for our

130
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.720
listeners who don't know it. Will
you say it, will articulate it for

131
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.960
us. I appreciate that. Yeah, I think there's a lot of power

132
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.399
if you could break down what you
do into one sentence. And this took

133
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:28.919
me a little process to be able
to do. Actually, it took me

134
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.000
over a year to really boil it
down, like what do I do when

135
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.000
you really feel the onion layer of
my layer? And eventually I was able

136
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.879
to come up with this phrase,
which is basically to impart wisdom upon as

137
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:46.159
many people as possible, to basically
allow them to help understand themselves better.

138
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:52.120
So everything stems from there, which
is just basically everything's a communicative device to

139
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.600
get people to lead a better life, a life of more truth, so

140
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.320
to speak. And if you can
be that living example, you've done your

141
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.039
work in life. Mm hmmmmmm.
And speaking of living example, another thing

142
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.919
that I wanted to ask you about. You do strike me, Jared as

143
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.919
literally a living, breathing advertisement walking
your talk. I mean, you talked

144
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.720
about all of the articles that you
wrote before, and then I know that

145
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.200
you wrote a blog every single day
for a year and today you enjoy three

146
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.360
hundred thousand unique visitors to your website
and you do a video I think it's

147
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.840
every day that you put on YouTube
something like that. So I think that

148
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.320
this kind of discipline is really quite
fascinating. I want to understand why did

149
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.600
you do this and what did it
do for your business? Sure? Yeah,

150
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.960
So in the beginning, like anything
in life, when you first try

151
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:50.840
something, you're not going to see
huge rewards necessarily overnight. Sometimes you get

152
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.519
a little gift so to speak,
from the universe, God, whatever you

153
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.960
believe in kind of thing, and
eventually it's going to slow down. There's

154
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.240
going to be a mud that you
got to go through, and it's it's

155
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.039
almost like a test. You got
to make it through that and there will

156
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:11.120
be incremental gifts or changes along the
way. But most importantly it's a it's

157
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.039
a test to your commitment and your
will and you're discipline like like you mentioned,

158
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.799
but also unconsciously, you might be
doing things and you might be good

159
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.679
at them, but then you slowly
try too hard, and then you have

160
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.519
to sort of consciously understand what what
your real gift is, or what you're

161
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.759
good at, or what what what
people are drawn to, and when the

162
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.000
marketplace responds, why are they responding
And then that's a whole process that takes

163
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.000
shape to then align sort of that
conscious with the unconscious. And that's that's

164
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.879
sort of a you know, an
esoteric description of what's going on. But

165
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:54.399
yes, wrote wrote tons of articles
to try to get exposure and so forth,

166
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.080
you get little pickups here and there. And I did do a video

167
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:03.519
every single day for a year on
YouTube and gained one hundred thousand subscribers through

168
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.559
through that methodology essentially, and it
taught me tremendous man about myself, just

169
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:18.080
communication, influence and all that stuff, just human behavior. As I listen

170
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.639
to you talked here, what comes
to my mind is, as you mentioned,

171
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.360
just really literally walking your talk in
all these different aspects. It strikes

172
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.080
me very much as is just really
being profoundly authentic in a way that makes

173
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.840
you reachable, tenable to people.
Is that are you? Is that part

174
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.440
of what's happening here is what you
attempt to hope would happen. Oh,

175
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.919
I appreciate that, and that's something
that I definitely had to work on over

176
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.519
the years, is being more and
more transparent. And that's not an easy

177
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:52.039
process. You know, we do
like to guard certain things about ourselves or

178
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.639
have a defense mechanism up all of
us. But the more you know transparent,

179
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.240
you could live a life and there
are no secrets anymore, or in

180
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.000
a way when you think about it, with technology, the way that it's

181
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.039
progressing, you know, more and
more of your life is getting exposed to

182
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:13.159
the public eye. So the more
you can lead the righteous life behind closed

183
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.799
doors, then you the less you
have to fear ultimately, and then if

184
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:22.759
you could you could walk in that
path, then then you are that living

185
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.879
example. You know. Just a
quick example of that is another guest that

186
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.200
I had on the show a few
months ago, Sean Anderson. He's all

187
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.480
about going the extra mile, that's
what he writes about. He's a motivational

188
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.480
speaker, he's a coach, and
what he does, Jared is he literally

189
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.440
will go into a country and literally
walk from one end of the country to

190
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.000
the other, usually over the course
of about a month or three weeks.

191
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.000
He literally goes the extra mile.
So there's this whole notion of everything about

192
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.360
his message is intertwined across his life. Is that kind of what you're getting

193
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.000
at to, Absolutely, that's unbelievable. Yeah, he's a great guy.

194
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.480
I highly recommend his stuff is great. I just I'm a huge fan.

195
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.480
So that's what resonated for me when
you were talking. Sure. Yeah.

196
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.799
One of the other things that I
wanted to share with our listeners today is

197
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.279
just this whole foundation that you came
from, Jarrett, from wrestling, and

198
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.519
what we didn't say yet really per
se, we haven't really grounded this conversation

199
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.960
is that those early experiences where you
know, you were in wrestling and I

200
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.440
think for a while you weren't winning
anything, and then you went to become

201
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.600
a champion. So maybe you could
say a bit about that. But what

202
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.399
I want to get to is the
lessons that you learn from from wrestling and

203
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.639
how maybe you think they can be
applied to other areas of your life,

204
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:41.039
whether it's business, relationships, total
wellbeing. Can you connect those dots for

205
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:46.720
us? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, thanks for bringing us up. Wrestling

206
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:52.000
is an individualistic sport mainly you got
a team element involved, but there's no

207
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.799
one you could blame. You can't
displace blame on anybody else in that.

208
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.440
I learned that lesson very early in
life, that the less blame you place

209
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.960
upon other people, whether it's you
blame your genetics or your parents, or

210
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.679
you blame your circumstance in life or
whatever hand you were dealt or people around

211
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.159
you, that it's this person's fault. The less you do that, the

212
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.519
more power you ultimately gain, and
the better you're light your quality of life

213
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:20.399
will be. But most importantly,
what it really taught me is this aspect

214
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:24.480
of mental toughness. I believe that
I was a little soft before I took

215
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.559
up wrestling in a way mentally,
and it just opened a whole new world

216
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.799
for me. And I think that
I'm twenty nine, so I live in

217
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:39.320
a generation amongst what guys like David
Goggins who will call soft is often generation

218
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.360
in a way, and I believe
it's one hundred percent true. Now I

219
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:48.399
believe that it's important in a way
for innovation. That laziness, for instance,

220
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:54.480
breeds delivery at your door, right, so it's innovative the iPhone and

221
00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:00.759
all these stuff apps that we have. Convenience comes out of the form of

222
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:06.639
laziness in a way. But you
also have to have a mental toughness,

223
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.759
you know element, And I think
that wrestling was was sort of that path,

224
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.399
that that right of passage for me
to be able to adopt that certain

225
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.080
things that I had to go through, whether it was cutting weight and just

226
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.480
five practices a day, I went
to one of the most intense wrestling camps

227
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.759
in the country, and tournaments every
single weekend and so forth, and that

228
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.759
grind and whether that you put yourself
through, you just look back and you

229
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.200
have that as those as reference points
to be able to go back and say,

230
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:38.840
you know, I could get through
this moment because look at how much

231
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:44.200
other stuff I've done. And I
do believe, you know, people need

232
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.120
more of mental toughness in their life, you know, if you just look

233
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.919
at it from like average things that
go on. I mean, the Empire

234
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:55.639
State Building I think was built in
about fourteen months. I mean, they've

235
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:59.480
been working on the Belt Parkway for
about eight years now, you know.

236
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.039
And there's luck. There's a lot
of red tape and stuff that we didn't

237
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.839
have backman and so forth. But
if you think about it, you could

238
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.759
compare generations and there was a certain
mental toughness that was there and if you

239
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.759
can adopt that, you're going to
succeed in life. Great is really this

240
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:21.759
hidden element and X factor that everybody
needs to adopt. Thank you for that,

241
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:23.279

I want to get this right and leaving

277
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.960
a legacy so important. I'm your
host, Alice Cortes. So we got

278
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.720
a pretty good foundation of where all
of this came from, Jarrett, where

279
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.240
really all of this amazing hutspy life
to call it started from. And now

280
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.960
you've taken and created and offering to
help other people. And I also want

281
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.559
to call out that you're only twenty
nine years old. I'm really jealous.

282
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.519
I wish that I would have been
able to find a way to orient my

283
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.039
life the way that you did at
that age. It would have been amazing

284
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.920
for me. So kudos for that
as well. Yeah, I appreciate.

285
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.119
And look, there are fourteen year
olds who are blown away, so there's

286
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.119
always there was always something right.
It's all relative and right, hun jed.

287
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.200
Okay, good to know. Okay, cool. Well for this next

288
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.400
segment here, I want to kick
us off. You know, when you

289
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.039
and I first spoke in an introductory
call about your approach, and you want

290
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.960
to be able to make a shift, you create a vision and a reverse

291
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.359
and then you reverse engineer it.
And that I know that concept. I

292
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:23.920
am not at all good at it. By the way, it sounds pretty

293
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:27.559
simple at the outset, but what
is really involved to pull it off?

294
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:33.920
Well? Sure, so I think
that i'll sort of get a little deep

295
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.640
on you. I think you and
your audience can handle it. You know,

296
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.759
you put out a lot of intellectual
stuff, so right up my alley.

297
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:44.839
But basically, time is the fourth
dimension. We don't really think of

298
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.480
it this way, but if we
were in a two dimensional world, you

299
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.000
would think fourteenth Street and Second Avenue, for instance. Now in a third

300
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.480
dimensional world, it would be fourteenth
Street, Second Avenue, and the eighth

301
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.359
floor. Now, just because we
live in a two dimensional world doesn't mean

302
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.880
the eighth floor doesn't exist. It
just means we can't access it. So

303
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.759
we're in a three dimensional world,
but the fourth dimension of time, we

304
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.079
can't access the future of the past. We're prisoners at the present. But

305
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.000
it doesn't mean that it's not there. It doesn't mean it's not going on

306
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.680
right now. But I truly believe
that the future is within us. And

307
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.960
if you could really just open to
this concept that we get glimpses of ourselves

308
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:27.799
in the future, that we're destined
to accomplish something. For instance, where

309
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:33.400
these dreams or visions just come to
us, these waking dreams, and they

310
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.480
come to us out of nowhere in
a way, and they almost show up.

311
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.400
Like if I say where you're going
to be, where are you going

312
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.519
to be at least in ten years
or twenty years, is there an image

313
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:47.400
that pops up? Oftentimes it might
be a gray scale image, and it

314
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.640
might be fuzzy, it might be
dark. And what I do with my

315
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.079
clients is I try to hone in
on this and don't shy away from it.

316
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.279
But now we're going to really crystifize. We're going to add color to

317
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.119
it, and we're going to turn
it from this still image and we're going

318
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.880
to create a movie out of it. You're going to describe it in the

319
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.720
men's detail, Who are you with? What are you wearing? Who else

320
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:11.079
is there? Where are you?
And really hone in on the qualities that

321
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:15.319
you possess. See Arnold Schartzeney or
what he said is that visualization was his

322
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:21.119
greatest gift, and I think many
many of us have unconscious gifts. All

323
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:26.440
of us do. And you want
to find out what success always leaves clues,

324
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.000
right, there's always a hidden blueprint, so to speak. And if

325
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.759
you can extract what's going on behind
somebody's success, and I believe that Arnold's

326
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.839
this was a major critical component.
But if you can consciously do what these

327
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:44.720
people unconsciously do that they're sort of
gifted with naturally, could you just need

328
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:47.440
to figure out what's going on in
their mind? I'll give you an example,

329
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.000
my girlfriend, for instance, has
an unbelievable memory, and I really

330
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.160
just dug deep with questions in terms
of, well, why is that so?

331
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:02.440
And what I found out after this
question is that there's mental images that

332
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.880
she's creating every time if she wants
to remember a sequence of numbers, she's

333
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.240
relating these numbers to events in her
past for instance. Now most of us

334
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:12.960
don't do that when we're trying to
do it, but that's why she has

335
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:17.400
an exquisite memory. But now you
could consciously do it. So it was

336
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:21.920
just really understanding this real gift that
Arnold had, for instance, that opened

337
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.559
my eyes to this that Okay,
he saw himself on a bodybuilding stage at

338
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.599
the exact arena that he was going
to win it years prior to him actually

339
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.720
winning it, but he saw it
in such detail with people's faces, for

340
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.480
instance, them screaming Arnold Arnold.
He saw the bodybuilders around him, he

341
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.279
saw the wood grain floor on the
stage. But it wasn't a still image,

342
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:45.039
it wasn't gray, it wasn't dark. It was a movie that was

343
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.960
playing out in his mind. And
then it was like autopilot for him.

344
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:53.279
So once you could tap into that
real glimpse. It's not it's not fake.

345
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.319
It's not just like this dreamland.
It's real. It's within you.

346
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.599
It's the future. It's like when
the CD ROM when you put it in

347
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:06.160
and you press you press play.
You're listening to it or viewing it for

348
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.559
the very first time. But the
disc was encoded all the way back in

349
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.519
the lab. It was all in
the warehouse, right, so you just

350
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.960
opened the package for the first time. You've got to believe. If you

351
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.920
believe in an afterlife, so to
speak, many of us do, that

352
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.920
means that this comes before the afterlife. Well, what's to say that there's

353
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:29.000
not something that comes before this?
And once you recognize that, then you

354
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:33.880
say, well, then there's information
that was probably encoded before I even got

355
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.079
here, so to speak, and
now it's just a matter of tapping into

356
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.200
it. That was incredibly Chris and
compelling. Jared, Thank you for that.

357
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:47.319
I really got present to one,
just really really painting strongly the picture

358
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.480
and even just the site, smells, sounds, everything in there. That

359
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:55.359
that really brought it home for me. Thank you for that. Absolutely right

360
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.680
awesome. You'll tell us your your
that image that popped up, hopefully,

361
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.599
well I will, but probably off
air for starters. No, who knows,

362
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:06.000
who knows? Maybody I'll share it, but I did get one.

363
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:08.960
It was interesting. And speaking of
that, Jared, you know here you

364
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.000
are a young, very accomplishment and
you've already coached hundreds of people. I

365
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.680
don't know, maybe there's maybe it's
even thousands of people. And if you

366
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.240
add the group settings in there,
what I want to get from you and

367
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.200
if you share, is for the
benefit of our listeners. What do you

368
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.960
What have you learned by doing that
kind of work that might be useful for

369
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:34.720
our listeners to know. So after
studying all these different people with different dreams

370
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:41.559
or desires or situations that they want
to overcome, what we're all seeking in

371
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.920
a way is fulfillment, and fulfillment
is twofold. It's basically it's an inner

372
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.039
blueprint of achievement that we want to
achieve. And everybody's got sort of an

373
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.640
inner blueprint, and to discuss exactly
what that is. It's like a seed

374
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.640
going into the ground and it's either
going to be a pine tree and oak

375
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.039
tree. There's a destiny, there's
a purpose there. It's within us too.

376
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.720
And then the second part is feeling
at peace within along that journey,

377
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:10.240
and obviously when you accomplish certain things, so you need both elements. But

378
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:14.880
basically what it is is it doesn't
matter who you talk to and what their

379
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.920
situation is. We're all usually going
through a journey, and we've got some

380
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.480
lots of strengths and we've got some
challenges and weaknesses. But everybody who I've

381
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.319
worked with is looking to rid of
any and all suffering for the rest of

382
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:33.240
their lives. Essentially, it's everybody, and you break break down the route.

383
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.240
So my quest an obsession, has
been how do I find those answers

384
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.519
to be able to eliminate suffering in
people? Essentially? And there are commonalities

385
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.880
and root causes and uh, you
know, I could I could go into

386
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.359
detail with that. I can tell
you that I don't know what answer I

387
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.039
expected you to say. But that
wasn't it. That was so much better.

388
00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:00.519
That was profound, Jark. That's
that's really amazing. I just got

389
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.240
to take a moment and take that
in for just a second. Was that

390
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.319
kind of took my broth away?
Derek, h awesome, thank you,

391
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.480
it is awesome. Well, the
first thing that you said, and I

392
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:12.319
wrote it down there. I love
this which you just said there that fulfillment

393
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:18.119
is an inner blueprint of achievement that
is just cool and profound. I know

394
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.599
that you have an eight part process
that you have worked on to toward achieving

395
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.240
fulfillment in life and work, and
of course I'm hopelessly curious about that,

396
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.119
because I get people all the time
asking me how do I find fulfillment?

397
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.359
Especially at work? Will you share
with us this eight part process? Yeah,

398
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:41.559
absolutely so. Basically, while we
were hinting on earlier in terms of

399
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.279
the fulfillment, the piece within and
understanding the hundreds of thousands of people that

400
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:49.720
I've worked with what those recauses are, it really comes down to eight areas

401
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:55.400
of life. And what I like
to do is you could draw out a

402
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.319
wheel. Fin instance, there's lots
of like wheels of life, and you

403
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:03.400
could map out this sort of like
a pizza pie and split up these eight

404
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:11.599
sections so you could do mission as
one, and I'll get into in detail

405
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:17.200
exactly what each of these eight stand
for are symbolize mission. We've got abundance

406
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:22.440
as another one. We've got control, we've got connection, we've got family,

407
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.519
we've got foundation, we've got wisdom, and we've got a legacy.

408
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:30.319
Now, let me explain a little
bit. But basically, what we want

409
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:37.359
to understand is that we all have
strengths and weaknesses that are going on right

410
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:44.720
now. The more you focus on
your strengths, you're probably furthering the imbalance

411
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.880
of your life. When we get
motivation, we're usually ramping it up in

412
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.519
the areas where we're already strong.
I'll give you an example. I was

413
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.359
a wrestler. I was beig into
working out for a majority of my life.

414
00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:57.640
There are other things that were crashing
and burning in my life, but

415
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:00.759
every time that I listened to a
pump ups along, I got juice is

416
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:06.000
flowing. It was always go to
the gym, run do a workout,

417
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.240
right, so many people are there. For instance, it could be career.

418
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:14.599
You're totally invested in career somebody,
and every time that you get energy,

419
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.640
it's like back to the office,
do this thing. But meanwhile,

420
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:19.200
other things are suffering. It could
be your health, it could be your

421
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:23.599
relationships and so forth. So isn't
until you figure out where these weak points

422
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:29.559
are that then you could start bringing
your life into balance, experience a better

423
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:34.720
quality of life, and then you
could then hyper focus in your career for

424
00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:41.200
instance. And it's sort of like
a micro macro thing. The macro has

425
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.079
to have balance. The micro within
your career has to be all chips all

426
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.279
in in a discipline, for instance. But I'll walk you through each of

427
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.359
these areas if we have time.
Yeah, please do go for it.

428
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:57.200
Yeah. So mission is basically you
feel like you're on a mission every single

429
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:03.799
day. Career empowerment, like you
are making a difference on earth with your

430
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:08.039
work. We've got abundance, which
is financial stability. Obviously just understanding the

431
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:12.559
financial game and investments and all that
stuff. It's obviously a very important tool

432
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:17.359
of money and overlooked by a lot
of people, you know, in terms

433
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:21.359
of it's a resource. It's like
a hammer. You could build a house

434
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:26.559
with it. And money is just
going to allow you a great opportunity to

435
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.240
do lots of things. And then
we've got control, which is managing and

436
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:37.359
mastering your emotions. If you could
reframe any negative thought you get and take

437
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.160
positive action, you're a master of
your emotions. Right. There's many other

438
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:47.599
people who they get a negative thought
and then they live with depression or anxiety

439
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:49.359
for weeks or months on end,
and they don't know how to snap out

440
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:52.960
of it. There's a deficiency there. We've got connection, which is a

441
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.599
spiritual connection to the universe, to
yourself, to a higher power for instance,

442
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.079
whatever you believe in. We've got
family. I believe that family is

443
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:06.880
the brick of society. We're not
an individualistic society. Where a familial society.

444
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:12.119
And how deep is your relationship with
your significant other? Do you really

445
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.039
feel like you have a soulmate?
Do you connect at a deep level?

446
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:20.759
You are a great, great parent, brother or sister of all that kind

447
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:24.680
of stuff. And then we've got
foundation. Foundation is your health, your

448
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:29.720
internal health. Hopefully everything's going on
okay externally. You like the way you

449
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.359
look, although I believe that it's
more ancillary in a sense. And then

450
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:36.720
we've got your energy levels, which
are highly important. Do you really feel

451
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.599
like you're on fire every single day? And that I'd call that foundation.

452
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:44.319
And then we've got wisdom and how
much mental training are you putting yourself through

453
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.839
and growing? And then we've got
legacy. This is the outward expression of

454
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:52.920
yourself. How many people, for
instance, would be moved by your loss,

455
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.759
not as an egotistical type of thing, in terms of your funeral,

456
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:00.839
how many people would show up there
in essence, because they would be so

457
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:09.160
saddened by what you impact you made
and contributed to society. I really appreciate

458
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.599
that you articulated all eight of those
the way that you did, because I

459
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.720
really like to make sure that my
listeners can walk away with something very actionable

460
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.240
that they can put right to work. So that was a very generous share,

461
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.559
Jared, Thank you. I got
a lot from that too. Yeah,

462
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:27.799
And that whole notion of legacy is
fascinating to me too, as somebody

463
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:31.160
who works with executives. What people
don't necessarily get is that you don't have

464
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.839
to be an executive, a leader, or a leader to leave a legacy.

465
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.880
And it's just so important that the
way you articulated that applies to all

466
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:43.079
of us just gorgeous. Yeah,
and friendships, you know, would be

467
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.640
included in that as well. How
deep is your impact with just the people

468
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:50.119
in your circle kind of thing,
you know, that's the legacy that you're

469
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:54.319
leaving every single day. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, Now you sort of

470
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:57.880
talked about this, Jart, but
I wanted to call it out specifically because

471
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.720
I've been long fascinated with the idea
and the area of motivation and you have.

472
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:06.880
You've said many things about it around
a different way. But if you

473
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.159
can't, you could tell us as
a performance coach, how do you or

474
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:15.840
maybe don't you help people understand and
activate their own motivation. So, in

475
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.280
terms of motivation, there's two types. There's push motivation and pull motivation.

476
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.800
So push motivation is basically, you
know, yelling at somebody to accomplish a

477
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:29.039
task, or you drill, think, drill, sergeant, that that maybe

478
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.400
seal image that we get in our
head or whatnot, that you got that

479
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:37.079
disciplinary you know, action behind you. Now, that's that will get stuff

480
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.519
done, but usually short term,
as soon as that goes away, then

481
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:45.599
what else is driving you? You
relied on this external source forever that now

482
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:50.760
you don't have anything internal. So
poll motivation, I find is much more

483
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:52.960
powerful. You know, external motivation
is more like a bath. You need

484
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:57.800
to do it every single day.
You need to find something inspirational from outside

485
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:01.039
of you. But again, going
back to this vision and what you ultimately

486
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:05.760
want to achieve, that's the real
pull. That's what's going to get you.

487
00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:09.880
That Arnold autopilot where he said that
he didn't have to worry about eating

488
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:15.119
broccoli and pushing himself with failure and
pushing himself to do it because it was

489
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.440
just it was so deep, the
vision, and it was intransic, it

490
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:22.679
was internal within him. There was
such deep reasons behind why he wanted to

491
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:27.639
accomplish this thing that it was almost
on an autopilot. And that's a place

492
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:31.559
where I try to get my clients
to another very crisp articulation on that,

493
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:37.519
jareded I as a person who studied
psychology, of course I'm fly with extrinsic

494
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:40.400
and intrinsic motivation. And the way
you distinguished pushing pull is so much more.

495
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:45.320
There's more that I think people can
attach themselves to the way you describe

496
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:50.440
that so very very helpful, awesome, amazing. Yeah, yeah, so

497
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.800
your motivation can you While we're on
the topic of motivation, how do you

498
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:59.440
keep yourself motivated toward you what you
want in your life? I know it's

499
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:01.239
got to be related to your mission, but how do you keep yourself on

500
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:07.440
track? Sometimes it's hard. You
know, I'm not gonna sit here,

501
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:12.320
and as you know, every day
is just like you know, this beautiful

502
00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:15.480
graand mirage kind of thing. You
got, you gotta you gotta do.

503
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:22.360
Look, you have to look for
certain sources that are gonna that resonate deep

504
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.440
within your core as who you see
yourself as. So, for instance,

505
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:31.199
Bruce Lee, what he did is
he did something very taboo. He he

506
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:37.159
studied lots of martial arts disciplines and
it was uh taboo because it was disrespectful

507
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:42.360
to the dojo that you basically had
to be committed to one. And he

508
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.159
recognized, no, there's lots of
things I can take away from lots of

509
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:50.039
disciplines, and he came up with
this phrase basically, extract the useful and

510
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:53.800
discard the useless. And with that
being said, you got to do that

511
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:59.679
with certain people, for instance,
qualities you look up to them because they're

512
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:02.159
speaking out to certain qualities that you
want or probably already have a little glimpse

513
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:07.239
of, but you feel deficient in
it because it's not again that future timeline

514
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.920
where you're going you're supposed to be
that once you really tap into it,

515
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:15.639
then you could actually close the gap
and you could recognize, I'm going to

516
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.440
extract the useful from this person from
this And there's and I'm talking about with

517
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.960
people within your inner circle. Everybody's
doing something right at every second kind of

518
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:29.920
thing and it's up to you to
either extract what's going on to benefit you

519
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.159
or you could just shy away and
just say, well, this is nonsensical,

520
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.320
it's useless. I don't think this
person is a pain in mind,

521
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:43.519
you know what, But they're probably
doing something that you're just you're just missing

522
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:45.599
or your eyes aren't open to it. But if you could really extract it.

523
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:49.480
And that's sort of my motivation is
just to be the best person I

524
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:53.559
could be, and that's moving towards
the concept of being Goodness is the best

525
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:59.039
way I could describe it. Just
totally pure energy and that's only going to

526
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:04.400
come by by finding the beauty in
all things. What a beautiful way to

527

559
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.679
Elise Cortes. So for this last
segment here we want to get in.

560
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:58.280
I want to get into a few
things, especially around this notion of

561
00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.360
mindfulness, which is something that does
it talked about, but I'm not sure

562
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:06.039
that people fully fully understand well.
But before we get into that, Jared,

563
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:08.280
I have to ask. As a
person who is currently writing her first

564
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:13.679
full book, I got to ask, why did you write Cracking the Code?

565
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:19.119
And what is it that you hope
to leave your readers with? Awesome

566
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.480
question. So I've always wanted to
write a book. I didn't know how

567
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:28.000
I would go about doing it in
a way, and many people within my

568
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.000
inner circle, for instance, you
know, employees of mine for instance,

569
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.800
and also family members say you know, you should write a book because I

570
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.920
was at the dinner table just spewing
a lot of this stuff so forth.

571
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:43.320
So it came about from that where
I would actually just made sort of a

572
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:45.239
decision and say, okay, I'm
going to do this now the process and

573
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:50.039
hopefully this helps you out, at
least like it did me. That it's

574
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:55.639
much more difficult to sit down and
write from page one onward and have sort

575
00:41:55.639 --> 00:42:00.239
of the set plan It's going to
be X amount of chapters and I'm going

576
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.599
to write the three hundred page But
for me, it was more take my

577
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:07.920
content that was already out there and
compile it, organize it in a very

578
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:14.440
successing fashion, and expand upon it. Elaborate upon this idea that you wrote

579
00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:19.679
about in a little article or a
blog this video, get it transcribed,

580
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.840
and now you can really clean it
up and organize it. Maybe it's going

581
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:28.079
to mix, you have to mix
and match it in different chapters or so

582
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:32.039
forth. So that's where I came
up with the amount of content that I

583
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:36.440
did. I think it's about three
hundred close to three hundred and thirty pages

584
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.199
of the book or so forth.
Now, what I like to leave is

585
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:45.119
just basically that concept of imparting wisdom
so that people can better understand themselves and

586
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:50.519
just move closer to the real ideal
version of themselves to be the best people

587
00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.559
that they can obviously be. That
really resonates with me, Jared, and

588
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:59.199
I really get that. I certainly
have always been a Maslow fan, always

589
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:02.159
working towards the ever elusive self actualization. Right. We never really get there,

590
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:07.119
I don't think, but we continue
to aspire for it. And I

591
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.599
will confess to you that one of
my major motivations for deciding to become a

592
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:14.960
parent fourteen years ago, I wasn't
going to it first because I'm the oldest

593
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.760
of four and thought I had already
raised children. But I ultimately did so,

594
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:22.280
Jarrett, because I really thought that
I probably did couldn't become the best

595
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.960
version of a human being without that
experience. And I think it's been true

596
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.239
for me because it's certainly you know, it's been absolutely joyous, but certainly

597
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:34.840
also challenging. I did I mention
I've got a fourteen year old, So

598
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:38.920
I appreciate this whole notion of trying
to become the best version of yourself that

599
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:43.960
is, and the fact that you
can distill it that way is terrific and

600
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:47.920
in encouraging for me. Thank you, of course. Yeah, And that's

601
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:51.320
the quest, right, that's the
old wing. I sort of you know,

602
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:54.199
took Maso's ideas and created my own
formula. I'll just run and run

603
00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:58.000
through them quickly. If we have
we have some time, you bet go

604
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:00.440
for it. So basically, if
you envision a try just like the sort

605
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:05.840
of mas those pyramids and so forth, Higerical needs the bottom we basically,

606
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:08.519
I call it foundation, and this
is sort of like your physical and emotional

607
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:14.840
well being, and then the ladder
up from there is basically a concept of

608
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:17.920
meaningful purpose and work. So this
is why we go off to school and

609
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:22.960
we try to find a career that
we really are passionate about or that we're

610
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:24.920
skilled in. For instance, right, But it's ultimately the real need is

611
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:30.000
meaningful purpose and work, and then
above that you eventually get to a place

612
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.519
of providing. You want to be
a provider, and this is where parenting.

613
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.280
You know, you got your fourteen
year old probably a beautiful, beautiful

614
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:39.800
child. You know that you've been
able to shape and mold and so forth,

615
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:44.400
But it's really a need to provide. And then ultimately we could get

616
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:50.039
to enlightenment. Right. And then
the level above that is teaching enlightenment because

617
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:52.840
if you can articulate something now you
know it way better, and the teacher

618
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:58.360
always learns more than the student.
That's something that I've always stood by to

619
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:01.960
be able to administer a of this
content in a way. Now this trial

620
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:07.719
goes up and this is the way
to maximum amount of pleasure of what I've

621
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:13.159
discovered. But there's a complete reverse
that could lead you in eternal pain.

622
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:19.519
So instead of and I think that
Maso, for instance, they hinted at

623
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:22.840
this, but they never really illustrated
it. And I want to illustrate it

624
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:25.519
for a lot of people because I
think it helps people understand. So if

625
00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:30.360
we'll meet our emotional well being in
our physical well being, that foundation through

626
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:34.760
survival. I believe this is why
a lot of people resort to drugs.

627
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:38.960
There's a natural way that will be
beneficial to you, for instance, that

628
00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:45.039
can provide you with that path going
upward, but we often resort to the

629
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:47.760
quick fix, for instance, and
I call it survival. You're just looking

630
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:52.559
to survive in essence. Now,
there's not a whole bunch of malicious intent

631
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:55.400
in that. That's why it's only
the first layer the intent get work gets

632
00:45:55.400 --> 00:46:00.679
worse as this downward trial. Your
vision is a diamond. The opposite of

633
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:07.159
meaningful purpose in work is significance.
That you're trying to feel ultimately superior to

634
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.760
other people because of this thing that
you do. It's an ego gratification kind

635
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:15.960
of thing, but you usually put
other people down in that component, or

636
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:19.039
you live in pain. If you
think about it. If I make one

637
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:23.079
hundred thousand and I view myself as
somebody better than somebody who's making fifty thousand,

638
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:28.079
that's all great and well. But
as soon as somebody comes along is

639
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:30.119
making half a million, now you
feel inadequate. And the only way you'll

640
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:34.519
feel adequate again is if you make
more than a half a million, only

641
00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:38.119
because you place your value system there, so it leads you in pain ultimately,

642
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:40.679
so you've got to do it for
a deeper reason. Again, the

643
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:45.280
proper intent is going to be that
meaningful purpose in work. And then the

644
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:50.239
opposite of providing ultimately is domination.
I call it. It's really this feeling

645
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:55.239
of superiority where you really try to
put other people down. It's not necessarily

646
00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:00.719
for instance, somebody could be a
be a father but not take care of

647
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:06.400
their child for instance. It's more
of a feeling of dominating, not really

648
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:09.400
because you actually want to provide for
another human being, and it's a travesty

649
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:14.800
that's going on. I think the
rise of single mother is one of an

650
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.639
epidemic that we really need to fix. And then the opposite of enlightenment is

651
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:23.280
going down a path of manipulative intelligence. You're only becoming intelligence so that you

652
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:28.719
can manipulate other people. And then
the opposite of teaching enlightenment would be to

653
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:32.880
teach fear, how to instill fear
in others. If that all makes sense.

654
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:37.440
I've just been sitting here listening to
this going what a perfect guest you

655
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:42.559
are for working on Purpose the radio
show. I mean just perfect, Jared,

656
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.559
I mean I couldn't have asked it
for as for a better way to

657
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:49.400
kind of talk about your message and
situated in regard to the stuff that I

658
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:52.679
really care about. So that was
delicious and I'm so glad it's on tape

659
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:57.519
and audio and we can actually transcribe
it. Thank you, and I will

660
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:01.159
thank you so much. Yeah.
Yeah, you know, we work a

661
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:05.559
lot in long hours to be able
to formulate these ideas right, and then

662
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:08.880
takes a while to articulate them,
but eventually it comes together. It's a

663
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:13.559
fantastic offering to our listeners. It
really is what you just did there,

664
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:15.960
yeah and everything. It took me
a while to figure this out, but

665
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:22.199
all the pleasure in life comes from
the intent that it precedes it, you

666
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.400
know. So the more malicious your
intent, the more pain you're going to

667
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:30.880
ultimately leave. And obviously it's leaving
others in pain too, So always move

668
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:37.000
towards that upper triable. We're getting
close to the end of time already together,

669
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:39.960
so I want to be sure and
get one question that I really had

670
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:45.199
a thought about asking you out here. I am a person who is profoundly

671
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.199
connected to the idea of physical fitness. I work out six days a week,

672
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.039
I'm five put seven way about one
hundred and twenty one pounds. I

673
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:59.039
really enjoy being fit, and I'm
interested in your perception, your perspective on

674
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:05.679
how we connect fitness with mindfulness and
productivity. Absolutely so. I mean,

675
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:12.039
they've done study after study that shows
that people who exercise a lot actually activate

676
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:16.039
more neural connections in their brain for
instance, with their body, that their

677
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:22.039
mind is activating at a sharper level, and you're getting more oxygen and blood

678
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:27.599
flow for instance. So I try
to work out do something physical every single

679
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:31.199
day. Doesn't mean an intense you
know, weightlifting session necessarily, but get

680
00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:36.840
walking moving or but I love intense
sprints and so forth. I feel like

681
00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:42.199
it just motion creates, creates emotion. I'm sure everybody's sort of heard that,

682
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:47.280
right, Energy and emotion. So
it gives you a different physiology,

683
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.400
but it's also going to change your
psychology in terms of how you process things.

684
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.760
But it's also going to get you
to just appreciate life more and be

685
00:49:55.840 --> 00:50:00.360
more grateful for it. So definitely, with the mind fullness component of it,

686
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:04.920
you're going to be able to be
more focused and be able to be

687
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:09.400
more present. I hadn't heard motion
creates emotion. But that does make complete

688
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:14.559
sense to me, Jared. It
does for me. It feels like the

689
00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:19.280
more I am in tune with my
fitness level and I stay committed to that,

690
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.760
the more I am able to focus. Is that basically what I think.

691
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:24.760
I just heard you say there,
Yeah, I think so. When

692
00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:30.320
you know when your diet strays too, when you eat junk, your mind,

693
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:31.559
your mind sort of follows. You
know, the mind and the body

694
00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:37.840
are very interconnected, and often the
pain that we experience, you know,

695
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:40.960
in our body is a lot of
emotional pain. There's a doctor Sono talked

696
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:45.320
about this with that pain for instance, wrote books. But it makes perfect

697
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:50.079
sense when you think that the brain
is connected to the central nervous system,

698
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.679
which is connected to the peripheral nervous
system. So the pain that you feel,

699
00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:55.440
it's very much connected to the thoughts
that you have a lot of the

700
00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:59.960
time. Now you do have to
weigh that in with you know, physical

701
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.480
degeneration and all that stuff. You
know, it's not just mind or matter.

702
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:07.480
There is nine end matter kind of
thing, but they're one in essence

703
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:14.880
when you really integrate it and it
all ties together. Okay, I also

704
00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.800
feel like that I'm far more creative
and able to handle stress better when I

705
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:21.719
keep myself true not just to my
exercise, but as you also mentioned to

706
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:24.079
my diet, I had a guest
on who talked about being able to distinguish

707
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:28.920
cleansing and clogging foods, and I
can totally do that. I totally understand

708
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:31.800
the difference for myself, and you
also help me trace that together in terms

709
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:36.440
of how my overall scent of it
and ability to be mindful when I put

710
00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:42.599
those two dimensions together. So thank
you for that. Nice. Hey,

711
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:46.159
I learned just as much through this
whole process too. You know it should

712
00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:50.320
be that way, right, This
is exactly both of us should walk away

713
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:54.559
with maybe one slightly new different idea. Yeah, I'll do perent And with

714
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:58.320
that, Jared, we're really close
to being out of time. I like

715
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:00.159
to be able to give my guests, if you will, something of the

716
00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:04.440
last words. So in about a
minute or so, what would you like

717
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:07.480
to leave our listeners with today?
Yeah, So that main thing I think

718
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:13.480
if you really explore the personal wheel
that you create for yourself, really just

719
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:16.760
assess and analyze where you are in
terms of those eight areas, and you're

720
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:22.880
going to naturally be inclined or drawn
to focus on the areas where you're already

721
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:28.039
strong throughout life. And I could
tell you with everybody I work for,

722
00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:31.000
this wheel never fails that as soon
as we assess it, I know exactly

723
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:37.079
where their source of stress is.
And it isn't until you really balance this

724
00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:40.239
wheel out that you're going to eliminate
your stress. And at that point now

725
00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:44.400
you could approach everything with a clear
mind, and then you could bow it

726
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:46.239
out to a ten out of ten
and max it out in all areas,

727
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:52.280
and then from there the triangle going
up as opposed to going down. One

728
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:55.519
is fear based, it's always fear
based, and the other is goodness.

729
00:52:55.519 --> 00:53:00.880
It's love based. So the more
actions you could do in terms of in

730
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:07.280
terms of understanding other people, being
aware of other people's whatever they're going through,

731
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:09.480
not judging, less judgment you have, the less pain you'll ultimately be

732
00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:14.920
living through because it's operating with good
intent, it's moving closer up that ladder

733
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:16.639
towards love. That's going to be
the mast pleasure that you're going to seek

734
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:21.239
in life. Wonderful way to finish, Jared, thank you so much for

735

of Inner Drive out of the United
Kingdom. We'll be talking about what he's

744
00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:59.519
learned in coaching school principles teachers and
students about achieving a growth mindset, and

745
