Do personal growth books and podcasts make you roll your eyes? Are you tired of hearing the same story of “infinite inspiration” rehashed again and again? Then the guest on this episode of Untether Your Life may be the perfect alternative solution to the dry and heavy content that you’re used to.
On today’s episode we speak with an award-winning entrepreneur, TEDx Speaker, bacon-atarian (that's a vegetarian who still eats bacon), funky sock lover, a former rapper (who opened for the Wu-Tang Clan - YES, really!), and previously a 332lb man (who has since lost over 130lbs despite his affinity for bacon).
The legendary person just described (in his own humble words) is Jason “JG” Goldberg, host of The Jason Goldberg is Ruining Podcasting Podcast, who is also a best-selling author of Prison Break, and celebrity mental performance coach. He is also a content creator and active contributor to MindValley, a transformational personal growth platform that is a personal favorite of our host Nikhil Torsekar, and his wife Shelly Sood.
With a desire to do things his own fun way, Jason has applied his passion for storytelling and witty sense of humor to help others find their happiness. He believes our resistance to experiences is what causes unhappiness or discontent, and he’s talking with host Nikhil today about how he reframes his thoughts on the daily to find joy.

Prison Break mean does the

00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,300
author have a strong familiarity
with the penal system?
3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,300
Or was he trying to capitalize
on the popularity of TV shows
4
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:10,600
like Oz?
How can reminding ourselves that

self-serious.
Jason Goldberg.
27
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,300
I had Jason on the show for
episode 36 and I so loved our
28
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:26,700
discussion that I wanted to
rebroadcast it and
29
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:28,600
commemorating.
This watershed moment in the
30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000
untether, your life Journey, I'd
met Jason through Mindvalley an
31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,100
online personal growth platform
that really defies description.
32
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:37,500
Probably the closest would be
tedx Meats.
33
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,900
Burning, Man.
An historian aligns very well
34
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:42,200
with the motto of untether your
life, which is to break free of
35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,400
templates Hands To Us by society
and own your own health.
36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,500
Jason is a tedx speaker bacon at
Aryan.
37
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,500
That's a vegetarian, who eats
bacon?
38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600
A funky sock lover, a former
rapper, who opened up for the
39
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,100
Wu-Tang Clan, a former 332
pound, man who has lost over 130
40
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,000
pounds, despite his affinity for
bacon.
41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,800
Jason is also a mindset mentor
and a leadership coach for
42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,900
celebrities change managers and
CEOs.
43

00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:11,300

with that let's get untethered.
48
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,600

49
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,900

50
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:28,000
Yeah ma'am.
I'm so excited to be here.
51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,800
Thanks for thanks for inviting
me on, it was great to see you
52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
most recently in l.a. here just
a few weeks ago which was an
53
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,800
incredible event and love the
work that you and Shelly are
54
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,100
doing.
I think it's just it It's such
55
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:43,000
such incredibly important and
such needed conversation for us
56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,200
to be having as much as
possible.
57
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,300
So I'm totally on board with
everything you guys are working
58
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:48,100
on.
Yeah, thanks so much, man.
59
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:52,400
I think I want to start off with
the title of the book Prison
60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,000
Break.
What does the term Prison Break
61
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,900
mean?
Were you on the TV show Oz?
62
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:57,600
Or what?
What, what is?
63
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,700
What is your background in your
relationship with the, with the
64
00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:04,600
penal experience?
I guess we're sure we're jumping
65
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,400
right into it.
Are we going right into it?
66
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:09,300
I just wanted to rip off the
Name of the TV show and hope
67
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:11,200
that people would buy my book
thinking, it was about this
68
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,100
issue, which it was funny at
that at the last, a Fest in
69
00:03:14,108 --> 00:03:16,600
Jordan, back in May, women
become up to me.
70
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,100
She goes, I'm such a huge fan of
your show and I said, what show
71
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:24,900
she's in prison break.
I don't like all that different
72
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:27,200
for me.
The title of the book came out
73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,300
of a conversation with one of my
coaches but the entire premise
74
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:35,900
behind that was it was about how
do you how did it feel to live
75
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,600
the way that I did for the first
30 years?
76
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Right?
And the way I live for the first
77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,900
30 years, was being really a
victim of circumstance going on
78
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:45,400
in the world, right?
So if good things were happening
79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,600
that I was happy about things
were happening, I was sad.
80
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,900
And so, I'm constantly the whim
of my emotions and what's
81
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:54,100
happening in the, in the economy
and what's happening in the
82
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:57,100
politics and like, all these
different things that became the
83
00:03:57,108 --> 00:03:59,400
kind of, you know, deciding
factor on how my life would
84
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,000
feel.
And I didn't know any other way
85
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,400
because I was raised by a mom
who I love to death.
86
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:04,900
You know, single mother.
Only child.
87
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:07,600
I was always the two of us
single Jewish mother so she can
88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,100
hear Thing that we're saying
right now all the way in Florida
89
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,300
and she misses only was it.
Yeah, yeah and she was never
90
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:17,000
raised with any of this kind of
concept.
91
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,600
So she also believed that, if
you want to be happy, you have
92
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,100
to kind of mold and modifying
manipulate everything around you
93
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:25,300
in order to be happy.
And that was how I was for the
94
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,700
first 30 years.
And it really felt like I was in
95
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:30,500
a prison of my own making, it
really felt like I was being
96
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:32,900
held captive by something.
You know, the trick of this
97
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:34,800
entire thing is that there is no
prison.
98
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,700
It's we are both the captive and
the cap torque but it feels that
99
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,800
way if Feels like there's
something that's holding us down
100
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,200
and it's not life is not going
to get better unless everything
101
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,500
out there changes.
And so that's kind of what the
102
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:46,500
premise of the book is.
Its how do you break out of this
103
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,700
self-imposed prison of the mind
and hopefully have a little fun
104
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:51,500
in the process?
That's it's a big thing for me
105
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,100
is to inject as much humor as
possible in the personal growth
106
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,300
because otherwise, it gets
really serious and really heavy
107
00:04:56,300 --> 00:05:00,200
sometimes know, I love that
because the term prison break,
108
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,500
it's very in a lot of ways.
It's similar to our book and our
109
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,800
platform with the Shelley story.
It's about untethering, your
110
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400
life, regardless.
Of race Creed or color or age.
111
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:14,200
I think there are a lot of
self-imposed shackles that we
112
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,800
walk around with and whether
it's what's on our business
113
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,500
card.
Whether it's that deal we just
114
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:25,900
signed we're really tethering
our well-being to what is going
115
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:28,700
on around us.
So I think that is a Surefire
116
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:32,100
recipe for disaster.
So I've read the book and I'm
117
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:34,200
like I was telling you before.
I mean, it's incredible.
118
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,800
It's a great mix of insight and
humor.
119
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,400
But in a nutshell, I mean, how
did you, how did your Shawshank
120
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,700
Redemption come about?
Like how does your, how did you
121
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,400
manage to engineer a prison
break in your life and how are
122
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,600
you helping people to do that?
Yeah I mean it's different for
123
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,400
everybody but it all comes from
a different level of
124
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,900
understanding, right?
If you if you've only ever
125
00:05:56,900 --> 00:05:59,600
inhaled your entire life than
somebody introducing you to the
126
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,000
concept of exhaling, it
literally changes your life.
127
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,600
Like let's it doesn't have to be
a massive business to be a
128
00:06:04,608 --> 00:06:07,800
complex thing for it to be
transformational the first step
129
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,200
for me.
I was really beginning to
130
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,100
understand the role that I was
playing in the experience that I
131
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:16,600
was having that's not meant to
be an opening for shame and
132
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,800
blame and beating yourself up
which is exactly what I did.
133
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
When I when I first had this
kind of insight that that it was
134
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800
that I was the cause for lack of
a better word, we can dive
135
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800
deeper into that.
But the language I had back then
136
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,100
was that I was the cause when I
had that realization which is
137
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:33,700
kind of the the first chapter of
the book prison break.
138
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,300
It's called the day the universe
cut me off, and it was this
139
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:39,200
moment where I had this
Something happened with my bank,
140
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,000
which really shined light on the
fact that while I was living my
141
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,800
life through the lens of, who
can I blame?
142
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:47,600
And that's just the way I am.
Like these permanent pervasive
143
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,000
things that I thought.
It's who I am.
144
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,900
If that's just who I am, I get
angry.
145
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,300
That's just who I am.
I get, you know, sad about
146
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:56,000
things where I get mad about
things or my happiness is
147
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,300
dictated by outside things.
That's just the way I am.
148
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:01,400
It was very rigid.
It was it was like, writing your
149
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,100
name internally finishes?
Yeah, it's just there forever.
150
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,900
And so, it was that day that
started started Deliberation.
151
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:11,200
It didn't feel like Liberation
that first day when I had that
152
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,800
realization of like oh wow I'm
doing this to myself.
153
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,800
But eventually the more I do of
into it and ask myself like
154
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,800
listen, there are people who
have been through objectively
155
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,100
far, worse things than I had
been through and I've been
156
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:26,000
through some stuff and this is
not to compare traumas.
157
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,600
You can drown in eight feet of
water, or eight inches of water,
158
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:31,200
but, but the fact remains that,
there are people that I saw
159
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,600
that, I felt had objectively,
been through things that were
160
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,600
even tougher than that.
I've been through and they
161
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,900
didn't seem to be suffering the
way that I suffered And so, it
162
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:41,200
became something for me, you
know, my background was in tech.
163
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,200
I was in tech Consulting for 15
years.
164
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,100
And so, a big part of that is
reverse engineering.
165
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,600
Looking at the way things work,
breaking him down, reverse
166
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600
engineering, so you can build it
up again, somewhere else in a
167
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,900
different way.
And so, I applied that same
168
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:53,000
thing here and said, well, what
is it?
169
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,600
These people know that, I don't
know.
170
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600
I feel like I'm a fairly smart
guy and I'm missing something.
171
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,600
So, maybe there's something here
for me to learn.
172
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,100
And that's when I really started
diving into personal growth, but
173
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,400
I wasn't until I was 29.
I was almost 30 years old by
174
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,100
that point.
So it's not like this was not
175
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:09,100
something introduced to me at 16
and I've Doing it my whole life.
176
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,500
I was a grown man with, you
know, who was married at the
177
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,700
time and having well over six
figure salary and have the house
178
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:16,800
of the car and all the things
and I still had ever been
179
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,300
exposed in that stuff.
So that was a big turning point
180
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:21,300
for me is just to be exposed to
those Concepts.
181
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,100
We talked earlier about how the
Surefire way to guaranteed
182
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:30,000
misery is to have your
happiness, dictated by external
183
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,400
factors and sort of the
situations.
184
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,900
And that's an interesting thing
to think about, because people
185
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:40,299
would not believe it.
You used to be 330 pounds, and
186
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:44,800
now you're in really good shape.
I'd love to hear more about sort
187
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,200
of what how weight loss played
out for you.
188
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,200
I mean, in terms of like, what
impact did that have on your
189
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,300
overall happiness because
obviously self-image is huge.
190
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,800
What was that like for you?
I mean was it like basically you
191
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,500
shed the weight and then all of
a sudden the skies parted and
192
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,800
you were just a Happy Clam or
was it a little bit different I
193
00:09:02,808 --> 00:09:04,500
loved if you could walk me
through that a little bit.
194
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,200
Yeah.
And that's it's so funny that
195
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,800
you ask that because that's
exactly what it wasn't.
196
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:12,100
And I'm glad it happened that
way because it had.
197
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:15,500
It had to help reinforce for me
that external things happening
198
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:16,900
are not always going to make you
happy.
199
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,100
If they did, they would
continually make you happy, they
200
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:20,800
had you know, this thing they
did with kids, I think it was at
201
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,200
Harvard where they had you know,
they asked all the kids like you
202
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,300
know raise your hand if you
getting your acceptance letter
203
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,600
to Harvard was the best day of
your life and everybody's hand
204
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,900
shoots up and now they've been
in school for six months or a
205
00:09:29,908 --> 00:09:31,400
year and they say, okay now keep
your hand up.
206
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,800
If you still feel that level of
excitement for being a student
207
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,700
at Harvard and all the hands,
Down.
208
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,700
And it's like, well, well if the
thing made you happy, then the
209
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:40,200
thing should always make you
happy.
210
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:43,000
If the thing doesn't make you
happy, if it makes you happy at
211
00:09:43,008 --> 00:09:44,800
one point, it doesn't make you
happy to another point.
212
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,800
Then where do they happiness?
Actually come from.
213
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,300
The thing that I believe here is
that resistance plays a huge
214
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:53,800
role in our experience of Life
resistance to our experience.
215
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:56,800
And so it's really interesting
to think about this through the
216
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,500
lens of what if the reason that
I am happy?
217
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:04,100
When I get the letter from
Harvard, I'm happy when I get
218
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:06,300
married.
I'm Happy when I close the sale,
219
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,600
like, whatever those things are.
What if the reason I'm happy is
220
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,200
not because of the thing that
happened, but because I wasn't
221
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,200
in resistance to the thing that
happened and people never think
222
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,700
about including myself.
I never thought about resistance
223
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,100
as it relates to positive
things, we're always told like,
224
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:23,200
oh, don't resist your sadness.
Don't resist your fear.
225
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,600
Don't resist your whatever, but
but notice that saying, yes,
226
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:29,400
which happens by default, when
it's a good thing, there's no
227
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,600
part of you that has to think
about it, but saying yes, to an
228
00:10:31,608 --> 00:10:35,700
experience that is quote, happy
is what brought you the And that
229
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:38,200
can be flipped around if you go
to give me ten thousand dollars
230
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,000
and you say Jason I got this ten
thousand dollars.
231
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,100
I want to give it to you and I
go.
232
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,400
No I just I can't I can't
receive that.
233
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,900
I can't accept that.
I've just said no to something
234
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:47,700
and now you trying to give me
ten thousand dollars.
235
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:49,900
Doesn't make me happy where most
people would say.
236
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:52,600
Like know if you give me 10,000
hours, there's no scenario where
237
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,500
I wouldn't be happy.
Well, I just showed you one,
238
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:56,500
right?
And so it's if we are in
239
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,900
resistance to a good thing, it's
no different than being
240
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:02,000
resistance to a bad thing.
It's the exact same thing.
241
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,000
So if that logic works and the
flip side of that should, Work
242
00:11:05,008 --> 00:11:07,400
as well.
If we are open to and say yes to
243
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,400
the good things and also our
open and say yes to the quote,
244
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,300
bad things are uncomfortable.
Things are heavy things, then
245
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:15,200
maybe we can have an experience
of Happiness.
246
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Regardless of what's going on.
Now, there may be a different
247
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,000
level of what it feels like
happiness for you.
248
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,100
But what if you could have like
a contented Joy, maybe it's not
249
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,900
a crazy enthusiastic over the
top joint but what if you can
250
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:29,300
have a contented Joy just by
saying yes, to the things you
251
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:33,200
would normally say no to, like,
falling into like, basically I
252
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,600
think is like yeah, yeah.
Yeah exactly for your falling in
253
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,800
like instead of falling in love
it's a huge huge thing and the
254
00:11:39,808 --> 00:11:42,800
more I can do that the more I
can just say yes to this.
255
00:11:42,900 --> 00:11:45,100
Yes to this.
I welcome that you're allowed
256
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:46,700
in.
Come on in, sit down.
257
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:48,700
I invite you in the more that I
do that.
258
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:52,500
I notice that my sadness is not
caused by events.
259
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:55,100
My sadness is caused by the
resistance that I have to
260
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:56,800
actually having those events be
here.
261
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,400
That's great.
The thing that I love in your
262
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,800
book, Jason is just the way you
sort of Peel back the onion.
263
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:08,300
In you look at different layers
of language in a lot of
264
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:10,700
Expressions that are used.
And you know, one of the
265
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,100
interesting things was, you
know, you were circumstance of
266
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:17,200
not just wait like physical
weight but also like temporal
267
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:20,900
the concept of waiting and sort
of waiting for things to turn
268
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:24,100
around the other thing that I
really love and I would love for
269
00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:27,200
you to talk about more is the
concept of play.
270
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:31,100
The traditional definition of
play is one that I don't really
271
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,300
do a whole lot with at least not
in coaching and stuff.
272
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:34,800
So I like to have fun and be
playful.
273
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,100
And make jokes and all that
stuff.
274
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,800
But that's that's not what I
mean.
275
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,500
When I talk about being more
playful, it's much more of a
276
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:44,300
secondary definition, right?
It's like it's it's bringing and
277
00:12:44,300 --> 00:12:47,500
energy of play of lightness of
levity.
278
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,800
It's shifting from being serious
to being sincere, right?
279
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,600
As Alan Watts talks.
It's having that shift.
280
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,400
So, you know, if you watch kids
who are playing video games,
281
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,400
they are playing video games,
but they are determine you could
282
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,400
like smack them on the back of
the head and they won't even pay
283
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,600
attention at all.
They can go 48 hours, straight
284
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,100
over the weekend playing.
Their video games without going
285
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:08,500
to the bathroom one time and
nobody would say that they were
286
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,900
just being frivolous.
They are like dialed in and
287
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:12,400
really, really sincere about
what they're doing.
288
00:13:12,408 --> 00:13:14,100
So it's a matter of bringing
that.
289
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:17,100
How do we bring that level of
playing, which play to me, is
290
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,200
your present.
When you're in play, you're
291
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,900
curious when you're in play,
your focus, when you're in play
292
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:24,800
your collaborative, when you're
in play, your creative when
293
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,200
you're in play.
Like these are all the kind of
294
00:13:26,208 --> 00:13:28,700
forms of play.
And at the deepest levels of
295
00:13:28,700 --> 00:13:31,900
this, it's how do we play with
what's going on between our
296
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:34,600
ears, right?
How do we, how do we play improv
297
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,000
with?
It's going on between our ears.
298
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,300
If we can look at all the
thoughts, in our head is just
299
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:41,400
kind of fuel for the best improv
game that's ever been invented.
300
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Then we can approach it in a
different way.
301
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,100
We can use this stuff instead of
being used by it.
302
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:46,700
So, that's, that's a big part of
this.
303
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:49,200
For me, is, how do we play with
the thoughts that are in our
304
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,900
head?
When I look at the most
305
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:53,200
stressful thing going on in my
life and asking myself?
306
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,900
How can I play with this to, the
doesn't mean like, how can I
307
00:13:55,908 --> 00:13:57,400
ignore this?
It doesn't mean how can I get
308
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,900
drunk?
And pretend this isn't actually
309
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:00,800
a thing in my life.
It's like, how can I play with
310
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,700
this?
How can I bring a spirit of play
311
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,700
to the things that I'm doing?
Yeah.
312
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:07,600
And that goes back to what you
were talking about about not
313
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800
being a victim of your
circumstance.
314
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:11,700
Did you ever watch that show?
Cheers.
315
00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:12,700
I don't know if that's AI, don't
know.
316
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:14,100
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
317
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,600
So I kind of, I don't know if
anyone's ever like I kind of got
318
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,000
some Cliff Clavin vibes from a
lot of the stuff, you were
319
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,400
bringing up and turns it, right?
Well, it is Sammy.
320
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,000
You know, circumstances from the
Latin to stand around and I was
321
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
like Jason's channeling his
inner inner Cliff Clavin saw.
322
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:33,700
Oh, that's so funny.
No, I've never heard that
323
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:35,000
before.
The first time.
324
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:39,600
Yeah, the other thing that is
interesting is you've got your
325
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400
book Prison Break.
Tell me the name of your podcast
326
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,200
again.
So the name of the podcast is
327
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,700
that the Jason Goldberg is
ruining podcasting podcast,
328
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:51,000
right?
It seems like destruction is
329
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,900
kind of at the core of a lot of
what you're doing.
330
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:57,000
Tell me more about sort of like
what is the philosophy behind
331
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,300
that title?
Jason Goldberg is ruining
332
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:02,400
podcasting.
Yeah it's you know for me I just
333
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,000
I'm always somebody who Wants to
try to do things in a in a
334
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,500
slightly different way than it's
ever been done by get.
335
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,300
I'm very uninspired by creating
something.
336
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,000
That's derivative of what
somebody else is already done.
337
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:16,100
And that's different than
stealing like an artist.
338
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:19,400
It's different than being
revolutionary or evolutionary, I
339
00:15:19,408 --> 00:15:21,400
should say it.
What you create taking what
340
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,900
you've, what you've seen from
other people bringing your spin
341
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:25,400
into it.
Make me your own that, that's
342
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,200
how I think really great things
are created.
343
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,000
But just to say, like, you know,
oh, this person is doing a
344
00:15:30,008 --> 00:15:33,000
10-person leadership group.
I don't want to do a 10-person
345
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,600
leadership group, but that's all
He being done.
346
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,300
Like how do I make it done in my
way?
347
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:39,900
And so I'm always looking at how
can I put the JG spin on things.
348
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:42,000
And everybody has their own
version of this every single
349
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,500
person watching this or
listening to this, there's
350
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,500
something they can do to make
whatever it is, they're doing
351
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,100
their own, and that's how it
becomes unique and original.
352
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,900
And so, for me, the whole
concept of the podcast was it
353
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:57,400
felt like for a lot of podcasts.
If you look at somebody who's
354
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,400
kind of on the podcasting
circuit, like maybe they're
355
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,500
promoting a book, or they're
doing whatever you could kind of
356
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,600
hit play on five of them.
Views at the same time and
357
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,600
you'll get kind of the same
conversation all the way through
358
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,300
right with slight variations.
It's like if you meet a few if
359
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,400
you mute the news, if you're a
fox Watcher and you mute Fox,
360
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,500
you know what they're saying.
If you're an MSNBC Watcher, you
361
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:17,400
watch MSNBC you mute it.
You still know what they're
362
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,700
saying like they're on script
all the time and so I wanted to
363
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,200
say, well what if what if we
change the way that's done?
364
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,600
What if we brought something in
that felt more unique to me or
365
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,900
more aligned with me, which I
love like the late-night Vibe so
366
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:30,600
I brought more of a late night
dive into it.
367
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:34,500
What if it became more playful
and what if the goal wasn't Sara
368
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:39,800
Lee to get people, to love your
work, you being the guest.
369
00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:42,900
What if my, what if my job was
not to get the listeners to love
370
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:46,900
my guesswork but instead to love
my guest, as a human and that
371
00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:49,600
would lead to them wanting to
dive more into the work.
372
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:52,000
And so that became the thing is,
I had all these different titles
373
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,200
and I brought them to the team
and I had this one, the Jason
374
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Goldberg ruining podcasting
podcast and I said it kind of as
375
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,700
a joke and they were like wait
we like that one.
376
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:01,400
I'm like nah we're not really
going to call it that but why
377
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,800
not?
I'm like screw it.
378
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,000
Let's do it and then it just
came.
379
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,099
Yeah.
Now a mean it with a title like
380
00:17:07,099 --> 00:17:10,099
that it's kind of like you know,
you have to you have to tune in.
381
00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:12,599
It's almost like you want to
Rubberneck the Carnage.
382
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:14,700
You know, you want to see what
kind of learn Fire, it's going
383
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,900
to be right, so I have listened
to it.
384
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:19,800
It's a good podcast, you're
definitely overstating.
385
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,300
The catastrophic nature of it,
it's fun.
386
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,599
I mean, you know that we did a
lot of fun stuff we've, you
387
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:27,800
know, I would always come up
with games specifically for the
388
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,100
guests and so if you can watch
the video version of it, it's
389
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:31,800
really funny.
If you want to see a guy with a
390
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:35,700
viral poem that's been seen by
300, When people wear a rubber
391
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:38,400
band around his neck and have
water, spilling out of his face,
392
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,900
as he's trying to sing a song
that I'm trying to guess, then
393
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:42,800
you probably should watch my
podcast.
394
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:44,900
Okay.
I gotta dig a little bit deeper
395
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:48,800
there, I think so.
You know, obviously we have here
396
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,000
for people who are listening to
podcast, they won't see it, but
397
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:54,000
the chyron that we have here, it
says that you are a celebrity
398
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,100
mental performance.
Coach, can you tell me a little
399
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:00,700
bit more about your coaching
practice like in terms of the
400
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:03,500
profile of clients you work with
people?
401
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:07,100
You've helped Like some problems
because, you know, regardless of
402
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:09,900
how many zeros you have in your
paycheck, people are people.
403
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:12,400
I mean, The Human Condition is
the same if you're having
404
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,200
problems.
So I'm sure people listening
405
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,300
this can relate regardless of,
you know, which celebrity is.
406
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,300
I mean there's a I don't really
care so much, what the person's
407
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:22,600
profile is, I just want to be
inspired by what it is.
408
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,000
They want to work on Starbucks
Barista or a janitor or whatever
409
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,300
could kind of counting like
whoever can come to me and if
410
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:31,100
what they wanted to work on
something that I felt really
411
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,100
inspired to help them with that
I'd be open to doing it.
412
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:37,000
Primarily though, what that ends
up being is kind of two, sides
413
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,400
of the coaching.
One is more of a CEO side or
414
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,500
people that are leaders usually
in small smaller businesses.
415
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:45,800
Usually, it's around sub 10
million or around 10 million or
416
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,600
less.
And so, that's the one side.
417
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,400
And then the other side is
people that are in entertainment
418
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,900
and media.
And so, that's going to be
419
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:54,500
actors, directors, writers
people that are in entertainment
420
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,000
and that's a really special one
to me because being raised by a
421
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,700
single mom, I was kind of Pop
down in front of the TV from a
422
00:18:59,708 --> 00:19:03,100
very young age, I was kind of
raised a lot by television and
423
00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:06,000
became A television fanatic.
And what I've gotten from that,
424
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
like just the the ability, I
think to speak better into to be
425
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,400
funny and it tells stories like
all of that or so much of that
426
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,600
came from me.
Witnessing these professionals,
427
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,900
do it on TV.
And then I remember when I first
428
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:20,600
wanted to become a speaker and I
was asking people, like, you
429
00:19:20,608 --> 00:19:22,200
know, what are some things I
should do to become a better
430
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,100
speaker, and they said, you got
to watch the great watch.
431
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:25,700
Tony Robbins.
Watch Les Brown.
432
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:27,600
Watch Zig Ziglar and I'm
watching them.
433
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,000
And again, this like I don't
want to do it the way everybody
434
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,300
else does it kicked in.
And I'm like these guys, they're
435
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:35,300
amazing and Are all kind of
doing the same thing with like
436
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:37,500
the motivational thing.
And so I was thinking to myself,
437
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:40,300
well, who else can really
Captivate an audience and tell
438
00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:43,300
stories and it stand-up comics,
like they're so good at that.
439
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:45,500
So instead of watching a bunch
of Les Brown Zig, Ziglar, Tony
440
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:48,800
Robbins I started watching the
Great's and comedy and noticing,
441
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,800
how they really just captivated
audience with their storytelling
442
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,400
and how clever they are and how
they just have the audience
443
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,700
eating out of the palm of their
hands.
444
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,600
And so that became a thing for
me to really dive into.
445
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:01,000
And so being able to now, coach
people that are in
446
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,100
entertainment, it feels like a
give back that.
447
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,600
I'm Ting to contribute to a
thing that's given so much to
448
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,900
me.
So so that's kind of the two
449
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:09,800
sides of the business.
As far as what we work on, it's
450
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,700
really no different.
I mean the actual situation
451
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:14,500
itself will be different.
I'm thinking of a client has
452
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:16,600
been an actress.
Very successful actress for the
453
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,700
last 20-something years, that
huge huge hits on TV and in
454
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:23,000
movies.
And then she was moving into
455
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,800
directing, and now she has to
manage an entire crew in an
456
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,300
entire team and she has to
become a leader, and it's like,
457
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:30,300
it's different than being the
performer, right?
458
00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:32,000
Even writing something.
And having somebody else
459
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,100
produced and directed.
That's Whole different thing,
460
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:35,600
right?
She had to really step into
461
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,100
this.
So in the same way I worked with
462
00:20:38,100 --> 00:20:40,900
her on leadership and
communication and enrolling, her
463
00:20:40,900 --> 00:20:43,800
team into a vision, all these
things on a movie set, it's no
464
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,600
different than when I work with
the CEO of a Mental Health
465
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,400
institution, who's trying to
grow that business and knows
466
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,800
that he needs his team to really
be on board with his vision.
467
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,300
And so, the things we work with
situations, we work with that
468
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:58,000
were attending to may be
different but the core elements
469
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,100
of how do I how do I show up as
a self leader instead of a
470
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:02,000
prisoner?
How do I have really effective
471
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,100
communication?
How do I get People enrolled in
472
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:07,400
my vision, how do I get really
clear on who I actually am?
473
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:10,400
So that I know when my ego is
trying to run the show versus my
474
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,100
true self is trying to run the
show, right?
475
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:14,700
What's the identity that I need
to shift in order to really show
476
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:16,300
up in my best?
To make the biggest difference
477
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:18,300
in the biggest contribution with
the thing that I'm creating in
478
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:22,000
the world that is across the
board with every client in some
479
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
way, shape or form.
That's how that stuff always
480
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,600
shows up.
Yeah.
481
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,400
And obviously, intuition is
something that plays into this,
482
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,000
and I think there was a chapter
in your book says, like your
483
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,300
intuition is drunk.
Yeah, that was a very
484
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:37,300
interesting topic because my
wife is, you know, Shelly, she's
485
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:40,900
also a very big Mindvalley, fits
a huge fan of Sonia show, cat
486
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:44,200
who obviously knows loves
finally got there so she's and I
487
00:21:44,208 --> 00:21:46,700
think Christie Marie.
Sheldon those are the two big
488
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:49,500
intuition people that she's
really into, but you have a
489
00:21:49,508 --> 00:21:51,500
pretty interesting, take on
intuition.
490
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:56,000
So I'd love to hear more about
that because the sort of a
491
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,300
mantra is just follow your
intuition.
492
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:01,600
Follow your heart etcetera, but
in some ways you're saying that
493
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,100
could actually be dangerous.
So I'd love love to hear more a
494
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:06,500
little bit about that.
Sort of how how your intuition
495
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,100
might maybe Lead You And Lead
You astray.
496
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,300
Yeah, totally intuition is a
very popular thing that people
497
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,400
are talking about in a lot of
different ways and I love
498
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,700
intuition and I have maybe a
slightly different definition of
499
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:20,500
intuition that I think a lot of
people think intuition is
500
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:24,000
directly a like connection to
Source kind of thing and it's
501
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,900
completely spiritual or
metaphysical.
502
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,200
I tend to think that's one
element but I think it's also
503
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:33,200
your own objectivity, your own
percent tivity, your ability to
504
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,000
make Judgment to look at your
own experience and your bias and
505
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,800
taken information to be
observant and all those things.
506
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:40,900
So, I think all those things
together created tuition, the
507
00:22:40,900 --> 00:22:45,000
challenge becomes when we try to
use a thing like intuition as a
508
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,900
blanket tool and we don't look a
little bit deeper about the
509
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:50,200
source of that because for
example, of I came to you and
510
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,300
said the secret to living until
your 200 years old is to drink
511
00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:57,700
eight glasses of water a day.
That's all I tell you and you go
512
00:22:57,700 --> 00:22:59,200
cool while I want to live Tom
200.
513
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,700
I guess I'm going to drink eight
glasses of water a day and then
514
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,000
I run into three months later
and And your eyes are yellow and
515
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,200
your skin is like, discolored
and like you're falling asleep.
516
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,000
Your eyes aren't even open all
the way and you seem really
517
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,700
lethargic and like, what's going
on?
518
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:13,700
Man is I'm like, I don't know.
I've been drinking eight glasses
519
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:15,400
of water a day, but it's just
not working.
520
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,400
I'm like, well, where are you
getting this water from?
521
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,000
He said, oh there's this like
sewer like thing behind my house
522
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,100
but I mean, it's water.
So I figured it'd be fine.
523
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:24,600
It's like, well, well no, we
gotta look at the source.
524
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,000
We can't just say like its
water.
525
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,300
It's he has me clean water,
right?
526
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:30,600
And higher Waters water.
And so the same thing happens
527
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,200
here.
So this chapter in the book is
528
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,400
actually number one.
The one that comes up the most
529
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,700
interviews and number to my
personal favorite, as in the one
530
00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:41,100
I go back to for my own
reminders, most often what I'm
531
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:45,200
talking about in this in this
chapter is to imagine there's
532
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,800
somebody in your life whether
it's a coach, or a, you know, a
533
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,700
family member or friend or
whoever it is that no matter
534
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:53,000
what you're going through, you
can go to them and they will
535
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,800
drop everything and they'll be
there for you.
536
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,900
They have a give great advice
great Insight.
537
00:23:56,900 --> 00:23:58,100
They have your best interest at
heart.
538
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,800
They want you to be happy.
And one day you're really really
539
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,800
struggling and you go to their
house and you open The door to
540
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,000
try to get some help from them
and when you walk in you see
541
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,100
that they are on the floor
completely drunk.
542
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:11,600
Just like obliterated drooling,
out of their mouth, try and eat
543
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,200
a cheeseburger on the floor,
like David Hasselhoff and and
544
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:20,400
doing all that stuff and so, so,
so thank you.
545
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Thank you for ruining my
afternoon.
546
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,200
I can't get that missile.
It's, it's a, it's a hell of an
547
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,700
image to have in your head.
I apologize.
548
00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:35,400
I came for you.
At your first thought probably
549
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,400
is not going to be to ask them
for advice, right?
550
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,700
You look at them and you
probably switch things up in
551
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:42,700
that moment.
You say you know what, I know
552
00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:44,600
that I'm dealing with something
right now but this person is
553
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,700
always been there for me,
they're always so good to me.
554
00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:49,200
They always look out for me.
They're not in a great spot
555
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,900
right now.
I think I need to look out for
556
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:52,500
them for a few minutes.
I need to have a little
557
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:55,800
compassion for that and then
once they sober up, maybe if I
558
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,600
still have a question, I'll ask
him a question.
559
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,900
And so, that's the way I look at
intuition, is that sometimes our
560
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:03,100
intuition is drunk.
We're in a low State of Mind.
561
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:05,100
Whether ER, it's just because
our thoughts are going crazy,
562
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:07,300
we're feeling overwhelmed
something, triggered us,
563
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:10,400
whatever it is.
So to ask our quote, intuition
564
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,800
for guidance when it's at such a
low level of Consciousness,
565
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,100
we're not going to get anything
that's actually helpful.
566
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:18,200
In fact, most of the time what
people think is their issue
567
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,700
intuition talking to them, when
they're in a low State of
568
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:24,200
Consciousness, it's just their
ego beating them up and and to
569
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,100
me your intuition will never be
unkind.
570
00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:29,200
Your intuition may be direct and
your intuition may say things to
571
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,200
you to make you feel
uncomfortable but it'll never be
572
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,100
unkind, right?
So if you're Your intuition for
573
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:36,800
some kind of advice or guidance
and you get an unkind response.
574
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,600
You say, you know, intuition I
just really I really need to
575
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,600
have some direction on what I
should do next to my business
576
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,200
and intuition goes, are you sure
you're even cut out to be an
577
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,000
entrepreneur?
Well, that's not your freaking
578
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,200
intuition, right?
That's that's been unkind thing.
579
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,800
Say so instead what I say is if
you're feel like in a low level
580
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,600
of Consciousness and you have
something you really want to ask
581
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,600
your intuition for guidance, on
let it sober up first and just
582
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,000
like a person who's really drunk
and real life, you can't force
583
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,100
them to get sober any quicker
than they get.
584
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:06,400
Sober people think it greasy
cheeseburger and, and like, milk
585
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,800
or something.
We'll do it, it doesn't do it.
586
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,300
Science.
Science has proven that doesn't
587
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:13,100
work that way, but if you just
allow the system to do, what it
588
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:16,000
does, it will naturally return
to a higher level of
589
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,900
Consciousness, especially if
you're not resisting it.
590
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:20,700
And then once it comes back to a
higher level of Consciousness,
591
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,300
then you can ask at the
question.
592
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:24,800
So just be aware that the level
of Consciousness.
593
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,600
Your added, any given moment is
really important to know before
594
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,300
you dive in.
And if you if you notice,
595
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:34,100
there's a there's a power in
noticing When you're in a low
596
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:36,400
mood.
And what I mean by that is, is
597
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,100
that, if I'm, if I'm sitting
there and I see all my friends
598
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:45,000
doing jumping jacks, and I say,
I want to do jumping jacks, but
599
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,900
I can't do jumping jacks.
And I'm so pissed off that, I
600
00:26:46,908 --> 00:26:49,100
can't do jumping jacks and
what's wrong with me and how did
601
00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:51,100
I screw up in life?
And why am I such a loser?
602
00:26:51,300 --> 00:26:54,000
All these things about jumping
jacks, and then I looked down,
603
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,200
and I noticed that I have a
broken leg, it still sucks that
604
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,000
I can't do jumping jacks, but at
least I go.
605
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:01,200
Okay, well, this makes sense my
legs broke it.
606
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,400
So I just need to let it heal.
So, We give me spaces where
607
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,800
we're like sad or upset, or
angry, just noticing of like oh
608
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,600
you know what?
I'm going to really low mood.
609
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:11,900
There's no way I'm going to come
up with a solution right now.
610
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,700
I need to allow myself to just
settle.
611
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:16,200
I need to allow this shoke
shaken up snow globe that I'm
612
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,000
living in right now to just
settle on its own and when it
613
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,500
does, then I can check in and
see what the next best course of
614
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:25,600
action would be Okay, so
basically follow that advice,
615
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,600
stop it and see what condition
my condition was in.
616
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,400
I don't know who it was that a
Kenny Rogers song?
617
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,200
A guy not a Kenny Rogers guy.
I'm sorry.
618
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,600
I can't help you don't doesn't
doesn't erase a sample that in
619
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,100
one of his tracks that it can.
You probably got everything
620
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:46,600
under the sun.
In terms of they talk about
621
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,600
activating Peak states with flow
and meditation mindfulness,
622
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,800
like, what are some ways that
you found to be helpful?
623
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,100
For in terms of getting your
intuition sober up or getting
624
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:59,900
into those ideal States.
If there's a specific type of
625
00:27:59,900 --> 00:28:02,700
meditation.
Obviously, if Visions listening,
626
00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:05,200
you know, we're doing the
six-phase meditation, of course,
627
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,300
every day version.
The five-phase Meditation member
628
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:09,400
because I'm going to be met,
right?
629
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,500
Um, so yeah, I'm just kidding.
Yeah, I love six phases.
630
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:15,400
Awesome.
I think it's a really great one
631
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,400
and I meditate every morning for
at least 20 minutes, usually, 30
632
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,900
minutes.
But if you know, 20 to 30
633
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:22,600
minutes every morning first
thing like just sit up in bed,
634
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,100
right?
In the meditation still kind of
635
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:26,400
in Theta because I'm not fully
awake yet and just Dive Right
636
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,000
In.
So that's really helpful.
637
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,300
But the thing, the tool that I
use the most and it changes over
638
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:34,300
time as I'm doing this, like,
certain tools will resonate for
639
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:35,900
me at certain times.
And then at certain times, they
640
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:38,400
won't the one that I lean into
the most right now.
641
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,300
And I've been leading into for a
while, is all around identity
642
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,000
and really.
I mean, these are these are the
643
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,100
three things I help my clients
with number one.
644
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:47,800
It's how to shift their identity
so they can, you know, know who
645
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,500
they truly are and create what
they want to create in the
646
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:52,400
world, knowing how to navigate
their thinking, so they can have
647
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,100
more peace.
More joy, less stress less
648
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:56,600
suffering and then how to take
more consistent purposeful
649
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,000
action out in the world out in
the world of form.
650
00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:02,200
And so that first one though,
the identity piece is such a
651
00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:06,100
core piece because if you think
about this for a minute, you see
652
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:08,600
a crisp and he did the vomo.
Well, he's great.
653
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,800
But he also has this company
called my intent and they make
654
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,800
these bracelets, you can get
these, like custom bracelets.
655
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,600
He had a bunch of great fans
there.
656
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:15,800
Okay.
I didn't realize that was Chris.
657
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is
coming.
658
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,200
He was an early Facebook
employee and now he has this
659
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,500
couple of the, with the
bracelets.
660
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,400
So I'll tell you my Needs a
minute.
661
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,800
But so imagine this.
Imagine that you are, you are
662
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,300
the director of one of the
Batman movies, right?
663
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:31,500
One of the actual Batman
franchise movies when you think
664
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:33,100
of Batman.
What actor do you think of?
665
00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:36,000
Because there's been so many.
I think I'm Christian Bale.
666
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,200
I'm not huge.
Okay Christian Bale fine.
667
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,600
We can use.
Yeah well use Christian Bale.
668
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,400
So imagine that you are the
director of Batman with
669
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,000
Christian Bale and you film a
scene in Batman's doing is
670
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:48,600
Batman thing or whatever.
And you yell cut scenes over,
671
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,200
you're talking to the crew,
you're getting ready for the
672
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,200
next scene, everything else, and
you look over and you see Him
673
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,400
pacing back and forth on the set
like looking really stressed out
674
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,900
and so he's your star.
You want to make sure he's okay.
675
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:00,000
So you walk up to him, you go
him.
676
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,600
And what's going on?
You look stressed.
677
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,300
And he goes, man, I don't know,
like, what if what if I'm not
678
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:09,700
strong enough to beat The Joker,
right?
679
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:12,400
What if my technology is not
powerful enough and what if the
680
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,100
people of Gotham die and then
it's all my fault.
681
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:16,800
Like how am I supposed to live
with the fact that all these
682
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,300
innocent people died because I
wasn't powerful enough?
683
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:22,600
And you're looking at him
thinking, like, what the hell is
684
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,000
he talking about?
It's a movie.
685
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,400
Like this doesn't make any
sense, but you want to be, you
686
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,800
know, compassionate empathetic.
And so you have two choices.
687
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,100
Number one, you can say.
Okay Batman.
688
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,800
Let's figure out how to make
your text stronger and beat The
689
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,700
Joker and say the people of
Gotham or you can remind him
690
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,600
that he's Christian Bale playing
the role of Batman.
691
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,600
Hmm and when you really get that
when you really really
692
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,900
understand that that is a role
you are playing but it's not who
693
00:30:48,900 --> 00:30:51,300
you are.
Then you can relate differently
694
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,700
to what those problems are.
It's not to say that Batman
695
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:56,500
doesn't actually have things out
in the world of form that need
696
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:58,200
to be attended to.
This is not about putting your
697
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,800
head in the sand and just not
doing anything about your life.
698
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,000
But if I'm sitting here in the
same way, if you have a child
699
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,500
and the child has a Barbie doll
on the Barbie doll, head gets
700
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,400
popped off and they are
screaming their lungs out.
701
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,700
You relate to that problem
differently, because you've seen
702
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:13,900
this before and you know, that
the head just pops right back on
703
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:16,700
the body and we're good to go,
that's the relationship.
704
00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:19,400
I want to bring to my quote
problems or the problems that my
705
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,600
ego.
Has it.
706
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,100
So all actually have this as a
practice for myself where I will
707
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:25,900
call it out as if I'm talking to
somebody, even with nobody here.
708
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,700
I will say today, I'm playing
the role of Jason, the
709
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:32,300
frustrated entrepreneur, who
thinks this project should be
710
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:34,000
moving along more quickly,
right?
711
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,400
That is the role that I am
playing today.
712
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,400
I am Oscar award-winning when it
comes to that, right, that I can
713
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,500
mail that roll all day.
And so, then I said here,
714
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:45,600
usually, I'll close my eyes for
10 or 15 seconds and I'll say in
715
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,400
this moment right now without an
attachment to that identity.
716
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,600
I'm Not pushing it away.
I'm not reframing it, I'm not
717
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,400
pretending, it's not there.
Seeing the identity of Jason
718
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,000
these the frustrated
entrepreneur.
719
00:31:56,300 --> 00:31:57,700
How does it feel?
Right here?
720
00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:59,900
Right now?
Just In This Moment, without an
721
00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:03,400
attachment to that role, right?
If they yelled cut and I've gone
722
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,600
back to my trailer, how does it
feel being back in my trailer
723
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:08,900
after we have cut?
Do I feel a little more
724
00:32:08,900 --> 00:32:10,400
peaceful?
Do I feel more stressful?
725
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,400
Like what do I feel with that?
And when I sit with that again,
726
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,800
for 10 or 15 seconds, I always
feel some sense of Peace because
727
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,700
it, Is this thing because the
threats that we experience our
728
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:25,400
only threats to our egos unless
you're in a war zone or you're
729
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,400
walking down the street at night
and there's some guy picking his
730
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,700
teeth with a machete.
But for the most part, the
731
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:31,900
things that we experience, they
are threats to our ego.
732
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:33,400
They're not for us to who we
actually are.
733
00:32:33,900 --> 00:32:36,500
So if we can depersonalize, who
we actually are from the ego,
734
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:39,200
then we get to say, oh ego, I
see that you have actual
735
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,300
problems and I'm here to help
you from a peaceful State who
736
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:45,500
doesn't confuse Who I Am with
the ego having these problems.
737
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,000
And so if the reminder for me, I
have this bracelet that I've
738
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,700
made that says not Batman.
Yeah.
739
00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:51,900
And that's my reminder that.
I'm not that man.
740
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:54,900
But I am Jason Goldberg playing
the role of Batman in any given
741
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:56,900
day.
And when I forget that, when I
742
00:32:56,900 --> 00:32:59,700
confuse Who I Am with, these
thoughts, and feelings, and
743
00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:03,800
emotions, and stories, then I
suffer when I create some space,
744
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,200
that's when I don't suffer
anymore.
745
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:07,900
I love that.
I love that.
746
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,700
Mine says breed.
So I just got one of the regular
747
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:13,800
bracelets, but that's that's a
great one.
748
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,900
It's, it is so important
Mindvalley.
749
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:19,800
I'd like, I want to hear more
about your experience with my
750
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,100
belly because for me it's been a
complete Game Changer.
751
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:25,300
I always say it's the three C's
the content community, and
752
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:28,200
connections, just, and the
fourth one being cacao.
753
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,800
But they're, you know, they had
some Ceremonies for that, but
754
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,700
that's optional, right?
That's an interest.
755
00:33:32,700 --> 00:33:35,200
But what what is Mindvalley
meant to you?
756
00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:37,400
I wish they'd tedx.
It's burning man.
757
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,500
But what is mine Valley meant to
you?
758
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:42,700
Yeah, I mean I first heard about
Mindvalley in like 2011.
759
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,300
Yeah. 2011 was the first time I
heard this is when I was in my
760
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,800
abs and my first startup at that
time, it was a transportation
761
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,600
startup.
And I happened to meet some guy
762
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,700
and I was in a tech incubator at
that point with my first
763
00:33:53,700 --> 00:33:55,200
startup.
And he came in to do some talk
764
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,000
about like purpose and vision
and stuff like that, and he gave
765
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
me as a gift.
This USB drive with these things
766
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,600
called philosophers notes, on
them and philosophers notes.
767
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,100
This guy called Brian Johnson,
he writes he's like six page.
768
00:34:06,300 --> 00:34:08,900
Summaries of all the different
spiritual and personal growth
769
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:11,199
books out there.
And he gave this to me as a
770
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:12,900
gift.
And so then I went to go look up
771
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:15,699
Brian Johnson and I saw that
Mindvalley was actually the
772
00:34:15,699 --> 00:34:17,500
distributor for his philosophers
known.
773
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,400
So, that's how I heard about
Mindvalley in 2011.
774
00:34:19,699 --> 00:34:22,199
And then, it wasn't until years
later, like I didn't even know
775
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,100
they had Live Events.
The whole like tedx Meats
776
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:26,699
burning man, that's great for
the Live Events but I just knew
777
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:29,800
them as an education kind of
platform and even back then
778
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,000
2011, much different than they
are now.
779
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,000
So I kind of started like seeing
them around and everything else
780
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,400
but it wasn't until Team when I
actually started working with
781
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,400
them where, you know, where they
started publishing my courses
782
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,300
and having me speak on their
stages, that I really started to
783
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:46,199
get acquainted with the ethos of
Mindvalley from the team
784
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:49,699
perspective, from the attendees
perspective and it's just, it's
785
00:34:49,699 --> 00:34:51,699
just a beautiful gift.
If you're the kind of person
786
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:54,500
where you feel like you can't
really find your people, you
787
00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:56,199
tend to find your people there,
right?
788
00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:58,600
If it's like, there's nothing
you can say there that's weird
789
00:34:58,700 --> 00:35:00,000
which is kind of, kind of a cool
thing.
790
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,300
I've never thought about that
until just now but it's kind of
791
00:35:02,308 --> 00:35:05,400
safe to just be whoever you are
and just and be into whatever
792
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:07,600
weird stuff.
Or not weird stuff you're into.
793
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,700
Like, people are just open and
they're curious.
794
00:35:09,700 --> 00:35:13,300
And so for me it's been a game
changer as well in just having
795
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:16,900
access to other humans that are
on the same wavelength that
796
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:20,800
speak the same language that
have the same belief system at a
797
00:35:20,808 --> 00:35:22,800
macro level.
And that's been, that's been
798
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,000
amazing man.
And of course, they put on
799
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,700
Amazing content, they have great
teachers.
800
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:29,800
Great speakers and great events.
Yeah, the tribe, you know, it's
801
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,100
all about the tribe.
Yeah.
802
00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:33,800
So what's next for Jason
Goldberg?
803
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:35,800
Yeah.
You know it's interesting man.
804
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,700
It one of I'm working on.
Now is I'm finally writing a
805
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,700
kind of an autobiographical
one-person show.
806
00:35:40,900 --> 00:35:43,800
I've been a lot of keynote
speaking for years and I love
807
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,900
it.
I love being on stage and I'm
808
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:48,200
ready for a switch up on how
that's delivered.
809
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,200
And I want to see what else is
possible.
810
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,400
Besides just talking from the
stage with slides behind you and
811
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,800
instead really making kind of a
theatrical performance.
812
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,500
And so I have a co-writer and we
are working on the the one-man
813
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:00,700
show now.
So I'm hoping that that's
814
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:03,400
something come together.
Probably by early next year, if
815
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,300
all works.
Well, so that's that's one of
816
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:06,500
the big projects I'm working on
On now.
817
00:36:07,300 --> 00:36:10,100
Okay, awesome.
Jason, I really want to say

00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:23,400
I think mine might be 6.5%
actually sweet, you know, so so
822
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,500
you're quite the overachiever.
