I'm not sure. 37 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Because they're the ones sitting on their phones 38 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000 scrolling all day, doing absolutely nothing. 39 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000 They're the ones working a 9-5 job for the rest of their life. 40 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000 They're the ones going to a school system that is 41 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000 destroying their minds, 42 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000 and conditioning their souls to 43 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000 become cogs in the machine. 44 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000 So, I don't know, does that sound like insanity 45 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000 or am I going crazy? 46 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000 I mean, I certainly like to think that I'm going the right path. 47 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000 And I want to talk about that. 48 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000 How people start to really question you. 49 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000 People, I learned really early on 50 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 not to talk about my progress 51 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000 and not to talk about what I'm doing. 52 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Because when I first started like waking up early 53 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 and going to the gym before school, 54 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000 that was like the first kind of successful habit that I had. 55 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Or a success habit that I had. 56 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000 It was sophomore year and that was when I first started like 57 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000 going to the gym before school. 58 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000 I'd wake up probably like 5.30 or 5 o'clock 59 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 somewhere around there. 60 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 And then go to the gym before school and then go to school. 61 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000 And then go to bed at like 8 or something like that. 62 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000 I don't remember the exact times, 63 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000 but I'd know that over the years, 64 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000 over the months, over like as I progressed in my journey, 65 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000 I like slowly but surely pushed back 66 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000 my time to go to sleep and wake up. 67 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000 So I'd wake up earlier and go to sleep earlier. 68 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000 But I remember sophomore year was probably like 5.30 in the morning. 69 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 And I would bike to the gym, even when it was cold, 70 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000 even when it was raining, I'd bike. 71 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000 And I remember telling people, I didn't really, 72 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000 I wasn't even in the get-go, 73 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000 I wasn't like extremely vocal about my stuff. 74 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000 But I remember like word got out and then once word gets out, 75 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000 people tell other people and then everyone just knows. 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000 And I remember one time when it, 77 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000 I didn't like go, I wouldn't go out of my way to tell people. 78 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 It would just come up in conversation naturally. 79 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000 For example, one time I was talking to this one girl that I sat next to 80 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,000 in one of my history classes. 81 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000 And the teacher gave us all like icebreaker or discussion questions. 82 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000 And we would have to do like a discussion question, 83 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 like every morning or every Monday or something like that, 84 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000 just to like break the ice or talk or whatever. 85 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000 And we just had a normal discussion question. 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000 And then he would also have another question, 87 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000 like a survey type question to decide who got to speak first. 88 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000 For example, whoever is wearing, 89 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,000 whoever has like the longest hair speaks first or something like that. 90 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Whoever is the oldest speaks first or something, just something like that. 91 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:02,000 And he, like that discussion that day was whoever woke up the earliest speaks first. 92 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:10,000 And so my partner, she said like a normal time, like 6.30 or 7. 93 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 And then I was like embarrassed, but I just said it. 94 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000 And I was like 5 o'clock or 5.30 or whatever. 95 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000 She was like, what? 96 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Like that's the reaction I always get, like what? 97 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:30,000 And then that, like, that was like one example of me, talent people. 98 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,000 And then slowly but surely, like people would start to say like, oh, you're crazy. 99 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 Like they would be like in support of it, but not really. 100 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 They wouldn't be like against it. 101 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000 They would just say like, whoa, you know. 102 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:53,000 And so it's, I started going like doing these different things. 103 00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:04,000 And then once I like realized how people reacted from me, like steering off track from the herd is what I like to think of it as. 104 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Like most people are part of the herd. 105 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000 They're like the flock of part of the flock of sheep. 106 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:19,000 And they're going to the slaughter. 107 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Sorry, I thought I heard someone coming downstairs, but most people like people in society are part of the herd. 108 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:35,000 They're in a flock of sheep going to the slaughter and the slaughter is like the school system and the 9 to 5 job workforce. 109 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:45,000 And so once you start like steering off paths, steering off course, then people start to take note and they say things. 110 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000 They're like, oh, like people aren't like terrible about it. 111 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000 And people like get used to it over time. 112 00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:01,000 Like for example, I remember last year, junior year, I would always, I would go to the gym every day, no matter what. 113 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000 I was locked in. 114 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:11,000 And so people were like, and then I would also go to the cafeteria before school because a group of my friends would hang out there before school. 115 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000 And so I'd go there from the gym and everyone's like, how is the gym? 116 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000 And I was like, good. 117 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Like people start to get used to it. 118 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:33,000 And I learned the lesson of not telling people like your plans right away at least because when I started to tell people about my gym and how I went before school, 119 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:46,000 I remember there was like a one or two week period when I first started going to the gym before school when I stopped because I remember I didn't go to the gym for like a week before school. 120 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,000 And then one of the teachers at my school that I see at the gym, he was like, oh, you're not going to the gym anymore. 121 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,000 And then I was like, oh, I definitely am going now because people noticed. 122 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000 So then I started going again. 123 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:14,000 But pretty much I like, I'm pretty sure that I stopped going because I got complacent because I was getting all the gratification from hearing people like be surprised that I was going to gym. 124 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:25,000 And so from that point on, I kind of made it a personal rule not to tell people about what I'm doing until I've built like the positive feedback loop myself. 125 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:31,000 For example, I didn't tell people that I meditated and I still don't tell people that I meditate. 126 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000 That's like a personal thing. 127 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 And I definitely have the positive feedback loop built. 128 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000 And then I also don't tell people that I take cold showers. 129 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000 I still don't. 130 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000 And I definitely have a positive feedback loop like I'm not just going to randomly stop taking cold showers. 131 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:53,000 And that brings me into like the second thing that I wanted to say today. 132 00:08:53,000 --> 00:09:06,000 If you noticed in my journey, I focused on the physical discipline a lot in the beginning, like go to the gym, bike. 133 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:13,000 Like I remember I would bike to the gym every single day at like five in the morning or six in the morning. 134 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:20,000 And it was like, especially during the winter, since I would live in Chicago, it was like freezing. 135 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:37,000 I remember the good old days when it was like snowing pitch black outside and I was like bundled up in pants, sweatshirt, coat, gloves. 136 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:47,000 And I had like hand warmers because my gloves weren't like warm enough to keep me like to keep me warm. 137 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,000 And it was like negative 10 or negative 20 degrees out. 138 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000 It was like those were the days that really built my discipline. 139 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000 And to be honest, those weren't really the hard days. 140 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:11,000 The hard days were me biking in the rain because I knew that if I got a wet butt, I would have to deal with that all day. 141 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:22,000 And I remember like when it was cold out, it was so cold, I had a runny nose, so I'd have to like blow my nose every like every couple minutes. 142 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000 And I'm really glad that I focused on the physical side of things. 143 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:35,000 Like I got really good at doing hard things when I first started self improvement, like the first two years. 144 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000 And now I kind of steered off of that. 145 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000 I don't go, I don't bike to the gym at 6am anymore. 146 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000 I still bike, but I still wake up early. 147 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Like I'm waking up at 4am every day, which is not really hard. 148 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:02,000 Like the hardest thing of my day is the cold shower, especially now that it's getting colder outside. 149 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000 The pipes are getting colder, so the water is getting colder. 150 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000 So I kind of steered away from that, like physical... 151 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000 Like the only thing that I really stopped was going to the gym the morning, but I still go to the gym after school. 152 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000 So I'm still getting the physical discipline from taking cold showers every morning. 153 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,000 But I've really taken a focus on the mental discipline. 154 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:38,000 And there's one thing I want to say, I would not recommend stopping the physical discipline. 155 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000 I kind of just... 156 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:53,000 I'm in a situation where I feel like it would benefit me to put a halt or to kind of slow down the physical side of things, 157 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,000 especially like cardio and the gym. 158 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:06,000 Because I'm in my last semester, I'm actually in my last quarter of school, so I've got two months left of school. 159 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,000 And it's... I just have to finish up. 160 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:20,000 And especially since I podcast every day, and I meditate every day after school, that's like two... 161 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000 That's like almost two hours of stuff. 162 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,000 The time... I simply don't have that much time in my day is when I go to the gym and podcast. 163 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:39,000 I probably have like five minutes that I could use for my own time. 164 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,000 So I've gotten to the point where I cut out like cardio, 165 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,000 but I'm feeling the negative effects, which is why I don't recommend cutting out like cardio. 166 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:59,000 But if you were in the same exact situation that I was, I probably would do the same thing again. 167 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:09,000 But with that said, I definitely plan on getting back into stuff like that in two months once I am done with school, 168 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000 because school will free up a lot of time. 169 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:20,000 And what I'm trying to say here is that there's like two side of things, the physical and the mental. 170 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000 When you start locking in on the physical side of things, people will definitely see that, 171 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000 and that will definitely help you with like physicality. 172 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000 But then there's a whole other beast that you have to like take... 173 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000 You have to control or fight in your like improvement journey. 174 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000 And that's the mental side of things. 175 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000 And I'm not just saying like the mental toughness for doing hard things. 176 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:58,000 I'm saying the mental, like the ability to control your attention, the mental... 177 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Like basically staying awake. 178 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000 That's like the hardest thing to maintain. 179 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000 And I'm still having a lot of difficulties with that. 180 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:14,000 And also like keeping your attention on your goal, or keeping like aware of your goal. 181 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:22,000 And I'll talk to you about a strategy that I started doing, which I've definitely found was useful in a few moments here. 182 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:28,000 So the physical and the mental side of things, they're both extremely important. 183 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Right now I'm focusing more so on the mental side of things, because I'm learning that transurfing. 184 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:43,000 I'm learning about transurfing, which is like a way to control and manage your own reality through your thoughts. 185 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000 And then I'm like all these things. 186 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:59,000 And I'm realizing that like the difference more and more so now, the difference between successful people and not successful like average people are... 187 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000 It's just like in their head. 188 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000 It's all the thoughts. 189 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000 It's all their mind. 190 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000 And I'm seeing this more and more. 191 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,000 The more and more I learn about it, the more and more I see it. 192 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000 And that brings me to one thing. 193 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:22,000 I feel like there's certain places where my mental like control is not as strong. 194 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Like I'm simply not as focused or I don't have as much control over my attention as I would otherwise. 195 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,000 So for example, when I'm on the bike, I have a lot of control over my attention. 196 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:49,000 And I find that I am controlling my attention for the majority of the ride, or at least I'm bringing back my attention fairly often, like every couple of seconds or minutes. 197 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,000 And when I say control your attention, I'm just talking about like being awake and being present. 198 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:01,000 So pretty much there's two types of like attention, two screens. 199 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000 They're inner screen and your outer screen. 200 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:09,000 So anytime you're immersed in the outer screen, which is anything going on outside of you. 201 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:17,000 So this podcast, if you're immersed in it and you're not really paying attention to anything going on inside your body or in your head, then you're asleep. 202 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:32,000 And then if you are immersed in thought, if you're deep in thought and you're not really paying attention to anything outside of your thoughts, and you're kind of walking on autopilot, then you're asleep as well. 203 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:39,000 And I see this like a lot in my morning, especially when I first like wake up. 204 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:53,000 I have to be extra vigilant about like me being awake or asleep, because especially when I'm cooking my food, there's this one thing that I read in Transurfing. 205 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000 It's when you make mistakes when you're asleep. 206 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000 So when you're asleep, you make mistakes. 207 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:11,000 And so I like remembered that and I definitely can tell that that's true because especially when I'm cooking, like I cook eggs in the morning at around 5.30 in the morning. 208 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000 No, not 5.30. 4.30 in the morning. 209 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:28,000 So I cook eggs at like 4.30 in the morning. I go through this routine. So I basically do the same exact thing in the same order every day. 210 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000 Same process, everything. 211 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:52,000 And then some, so one part of that process is I cook rice as well, one cup of rice. And when I, I boil the water first, and then I, once it starts boiling, I pour in the rice and then put the lid on and then turn it to low to simmer. 212 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:58,000 And then I set a timer for 15 minutes. That's exactly what I do. 213 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000 But sometimes when I'm asleep, I make mistakes. 214 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:12,000 And so there's been a few times in the past like a couple weeks where I have forgotten to put it on low. 215 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:19,000 And so the rice is just in there on high. And then I wake up and I look back and I realize that that's what's happening. 216 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000 And so I'm like, oh, you make mistakes when you're asleep. 217 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Especially when I start pouring the rice, I have that as a trigger to wake up, which is very good because society conditions like our minds or our attention to basically fall asleep whenever something happens. 218 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:52,000 So we have developed a habit to fall asleep whenever something happens internally or externally, like whether a thought pops up in your head or something random happens outside of you. 219 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000 It could be from the simplest thing to the most extraordinary thing. 220 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,000 For example, my friend said that he saw a Lamborghini and he instantly fell asleep. 221 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:09,000 That's a in our part of town, that's a fairly extraordinary thing. 222 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:20,000 But then we also noticed that we fall asleep from just simple things like I saw a normal car or just like I saw a car drive by. 223 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:27,000 So you just have to reverse basically you simply just have to reverse that habit. 224 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000 Instead of falling asleep, you wake up. So you have that as a trigger to wake up. 225 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000 So I realized that I make mistakes when I'm cooking my rice. 226 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000 So I have it as a trigger to wake up. 227 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:46,000 And there's this one phrase that I say to myself when I like start cooking the rice and I say I make mistakes when I'm asleep. 228 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:54,000 And then I always make sure that I'm conscious and awake when I am actually cooking the rice. 229 00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,000 And that's like the mental battle. Like that's the mental discipline, mental game. 230 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000 That's the mental side of things that you have to also work on. 231 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Like the physical side of things very important, but the mental side of things is also extremely important, if not more important. 232 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Because I see a lot of like millionaires who are not really like physically fit. 233 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000 So all they do is the mental side of things. 234 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000 So for it depends on your goals. Like for me, I want I want everything. 235 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000 So I want my physical and mental side discipline. 236 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:50,000 And like I said, when I find myself more prone to falling asleep in certain kind of locations, for example, when I like I said, when I bike, I'm very, I'm way more aware when I'm biking. 237 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,000 But when I'm at home, I'm not as much aware. 238 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:01,000 And the least aware that I am is at school. That's what I've noticed when I'm at school. 239 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,000 There's been times when I've pretty much been like asleep all day long. 240 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:18,000 And that's like, it kind of makes sense because school is like the prime conditioning area to condition you from all this. 241 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000 So I'm at school and I'm falling asleep. 242 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:28,000 And so the other day, and I talked about this on a previous episode, the other day I saw a video. 243 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:37,000 And in the video, they said that this guy wrote down his goal on a note card. 244 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:45,000 And then in his note card, like he would basically just keep his note part card in his pocket at all times. 245 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,000 And so I was like, oh, that's, I never heard of that. So I decided to do that. 246 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000 And I didn't talk about it yesterday's episode because I forgot about it. 247 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:01,000 And also I didn't like carry it around at all yesterday, which was my issue. 248 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,000 And then today was, um, today's Monday. So I went to school today. 249 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:12,000 And I remembered to put it in my pocket, go into school. 250 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:22,000 And that is actually a very important thing because I noticed that it actually helped me to stay awake. 251 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:33,000 And it helped me to like remember my goals and remember like what I'm doing, where I'm headed, which was extremely helpful. 252 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000 So I want to show you, I want to tell you like what my card is. 253 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:49,000 So if you're watching on YouTube, you can see it's literally just, I cut out a, there's a, what's it called? 254 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000 There's grass fed butter at Costco and we get that. 255 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:04,000 And so I was looking for like a piece of cardboard that I could use or some sort of thing like note cards, texture thing that I could use to write down my goal. 256 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:13,000 So I found this grass fed butter box and just imagine like a cereal box kind of texture. 257 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:23,000 And then I just cut it out and wrote down my goal pretty much everything in the present tense, which is very important in transfer. 258 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:37,000 And I learned it's you should do all of your goals and do all of your like wishes in present tense. So if you're ill and you do like a cocktail or something like that. 259 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000 Okay, no. 260 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:46,000 A lot of times like it's a tradition at weddings to have like a toast. 261 00:23:46,000 --> 00:24:01,000 And in the toast, they say, here's for like a great marriage in the future or here's for good luck to us or some like some future based goal. 262 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:09,000 And I'm not really giving a good example of this, but I'm kind of blanking on an example right now. 263 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:22,000 But people during toasts say like, here's for good, like may the future give us good health or something like that. 264 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000 And that's actually not good because the future doesn't exist. 265 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000 Like the future, the world is a mirror. 266 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:37,000 So if you say something in the future tense, like I will, like I will have that in the future. 267 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000 Well, the world doesn't know what the future is. 268 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:50,000 So it's always just going to be somewhere out of like out in the future, which is why I said you should always say things in the present tense. 269 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:58,000 And so basically cut out this piece of card cardboard, but it's not really cardboard, but I cut this thing out. 270 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000 And here's what I wrote. 271 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,000 I own a very nice house on a beach, private beach owned by me. 272 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:15,000 In Hawaii, where I spend my days training, meditating, surfing, spending time in solitude on the beach with the stars and more. 273 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:22,000 I have a fully automatic business and I have the most health optimal house and diet. 274 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,000 I travel a lot and go on vacations and adventures around the world. 275 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000 The world is my playground. 276 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,000 I also am extremely advanced at meditations and can achieve any focus level. 277 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000 And then I said, James Radzinski, and then I signed it. 278 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000 And then I said, I put the date, which was October 21, 2023. 279 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000 That's when I wrote it. 280 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:53,000 And so I just put this thing in my pocket and I just kept it there all day. 281 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000 And I would notice that habitually I would kind of like feel it. 282 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:06,000 I would like put my hand in my pocket or put my hand like outside of my pocket and feel like the texture. 283 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:16,000 And I noticed that subconsciously it would like prime me to feel the like feel, go to feel my pocket. 284 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:22,000 And then I would start like thinking and I would every time I would like feel it, I would always ask myself like, where am I headed? 285 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000 And then I'd always say like Hawaii. 286 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:31,000 And there was a moment where I remembered that it started getting like a subconscious thing. 287 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:37,000 So I started subconsciously saying it so I didn't really get the benefits of waking up, 288 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:46,000 which is one of the main reasons why I want to do this at school because school I'm not very present often. 289 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000 And so this would be a very good tool to have. 290 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:55,000 And I was kind of losing that when I got when it became like routine. 291 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000 So I instantly became conscious of that. 292 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:06,000 And I said, no, I have to like become conscious every time that I feel it. 293 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:22,000 And then that also brings me to another thing where, okay, yeah, yeah. 294 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:29,000 So I have a hard time fully being conscious. 295 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,000 So let me let me give you a quick explanation real quick. 296 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:46,000 At home, I have or not at home, like let's say when I'm on my bike ride, I'm very, I can get way higher awareness. 297 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000 And I have more awareness. 298 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000 I'm higher consciousness, all that. 299 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:57,000 And then when I'm at school, there's kind of like this thing keeping me down. 300 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:05,000 And I don't really know how to explain it, but if you're just in that environment, you'll know and you start paying attention to like your inner monologue, 301 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,000 your inner attention, like all of that stuff, you start paying attention to your mind. 302 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:22,000 Then you'll know that there's kind of like this baseline awareness or this height, like cap. 303 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:30,000 I'm not really doing a good job explaining this, but pretty much when you're at school, your awareness is extremely hindered. 304 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:38,000 So I noticed that today, especially because I was having a hard time like actually becoming conscious. 305 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:47,000 I knew like, oh, yes, this is like during passing, I would like feel my note card and then I'd be like where am I headed? 306 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000 And then I wouldn't be able to put my tongue to it. 307 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Like I wouldn't be able to actually say I'm going to Hawaii, which is interesting because that is something that I know. 308 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:11,000 Like I know this where I'm like, I know my goal, but I was so deep in asleep where I couldn't get myself to, I couldn't pull myself awake at school. 309 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:27,000 And I'm not even surprised because like I said, in the past couple months, during my senior year, past two months, I was like there was times where I was just completely asleep all day long. 310 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:37,000 So it's not very surprising, but that's like, it's just something that I'm going to have to like, I don't know how to fight it. 311 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:45,000 I guess just like brute force and keep on using this note card. 312 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000 But that's another thing. 313 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:54,000 I got this like, I got this thought popped up in my mind when I was using this note card. 314 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 I was like, oh, this is like too good. 315 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,000 I don't want to become dependent on this or is this cheating? 316 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,000 Like is this cheating? 317 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,000 And so I like pondered that question, like is this cheating at life? 318 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:15,000 Am I cheating my way out there by putting a note card in my pocket? 319 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:20,000 Like first of all, that question sounds ridiculous once you actually think about it. 320 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:28,000 But then I instantly imagined that I was, I was already successful. 321 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:35,000 And then I told someone, I was like mentoring someone and I told them to do this and they asked me, is this cheating? 322 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,000 Like I instantly changed the perspective. 323 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:47,000 And then I was like, oh wait, no, they said this is cheating. 324 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000 They just said the statement that this is cheating. 325 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000 And I was like, okay, I mean, you can stay broke and I'll stay rich. 326 00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:00,000 And I was, I just said that to my, like to the person I was mentoring in my imagination. 327 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000 So like this is not cheating. 328 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:09,000 And I, for the question of will I become dependent on this, I'm not sure. 329 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:21,000 But there was like the person that I heard this from, I don't know his name, but he was like an older guy in a video that I watched about like the secret of success. 330 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:27,000 And he like was very successful and that's what he did. 331 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000 So yeah, I think that this is definitely worth at least trying. 332 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,000 And I, it's, I think it's definitely helpful. 333 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000 And I definitely plan on bringing it to school with me for the rest of the school year. 334 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:48,000 And that's another thing when I was writing this, I was like, I don't know, I don't know. 335 00:31:48,000 --> 00:32:00,000 I don't know, school year. And that's another thing when I was writing this note card down, I was like, oh, this thing, this card is going to be worth a lot of money when, when I actually make it. 336 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,000 Because, but then I was like, I'm probably not going to be like extremely famous. 337 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000 So maybe or maybe not, it will be, I don't know. 338 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,000 But that's like, I was thinking about Bruce Lee. 339 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,600 He was a Napoleon Hill fan, 340 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,760 and he studied a lot from Napoleon Hill. 341 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,640 And there's a thing called your definite purpose 342 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,840 that Napoleon Hill talks about. 343 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,000 And Bruce Lee wrote down his definite purpose. 344 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000 He wrote it down on a piece of paper of like, 345 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,080 I Bruce Lee will become a world class 346 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,520 like fighter or something like that. 347 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,360 And it was like this whole piece of paper 348 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:45,960 of his definite purpose. 349 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,440 And Russell Brunson bought that piece of paper 350 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,680 and then he made his own definite purpose 351 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,320 like alongside of that. 352 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,640 Not on that same piece of paper, 353 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,240 but he made his own definite purpose. 354 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,440 And this is kind of like my definite purpose. 355 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,760 And it was kind of reminded me that Bruce Lee 356 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,800 wrote a definite purpose. 357 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,800 And then that paper got sold for a lot of money. 358 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,440 And then this is my definite purpose 359 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,440 on a piece of cardboard from a butter box 360 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,880 that will be worth a lot of money in the future. 361 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,740 So think about that for a moment. 362 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:32,960 So, and that's it. 363 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,360 Okay, I wanna talk about my analytics. 364 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,480 I know that yesterday I keep checking my analytics 365 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,480 before my episodes, which honestly, I don't really care. 366 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,480 I'm just gonna keep doing it because it's, 367 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,400 I wanna know if people are, 368 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,280 like I wanna see what's going on. 369 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,360 Cause I'm not gonna get like demotivated 370 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,200 if it's the same number every time. 371 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:02,200 And that's a couple days or a couple, 372 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,360 like maybe like a week ago, 373 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,360 I got my first like spike where I got 50 downloads 374 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,800 in one day or like 57 downloads in one day. 375 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,720 And I thought that was like insane, 376 00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:21,640 which it is insane from my position 377 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,160 cause I get like six or seven downloads every day. 378 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:29,160 And I was looking at my monthly downloads. 379 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,960 So like how many downloads I got in a month 380 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,460 in September this month as well and August. 381 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,960 And in September, I got like 360 downloads in like, 382 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,560 I don't know, I don't know how many days are in September. 383 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,040 I just did 31. 384 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,160 So I did 360 divided by 31. 385 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,360 And that was 11, like around 11. 386 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,400 So that means that I averaged 11 downloads per day, 387 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,520 but I only remember getting like five downloads per day, 388 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,160 which means that there was many days when I didn't see 389 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,160 that I had many spikes. 390 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:16,040 So that means that my 57 downloads may not be the most 391 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,200 that I've ever gotten in one day. 392 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,520 It may be or may not. 393 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,640 I'm not quite sure. 394 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,360 And that's, there's one thing for certain. 395 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,400 So far this month is my like lowest performing month 396 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,840 over the past two months. 397 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,360 So I don't know what that means about my quality of content 398 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,360 or I don't know, but I am like pondering the question 399 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,020 of whether or not it's a good thing for me 400 00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:50,160 to post daily one hour videos 401 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,840 because I literally only have like two, 402 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,240 I only do two minutes of preparing for the episode. 403 00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:00,480 Like I literally maybe jot down a few notes 404 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,200 on what I want to talk about, 405 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:07,200 but that only lasts me 20 minutes of the episode. 406 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,360 And then I kind of go on random. 407 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,960 I talk off the top of my head for the rest of the episode. 408 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,040 And there's like not much for me to talk about. 409 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,000 Especially since I'm reading new books 410 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,900 and I don't really have much, 411 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,760 just from like the fact that I'm reading new books, 412 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,480 I'm not really able to understand it on a deep level. 413 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,000 Like I was back in the, a couple weeks ago 414 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,680 when I was reading Transurfing, 415 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,600 I was able to understand it very well. 416 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,720 So I would have like high quality episodes 417 00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:50,360 like pretty much every day in regards 418 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,400 to being able to talk for the entire hour. 419 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,960 And it's another thing, like I added it to my identity, 420 00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:01,880 which is very bad. 421 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,740 I added it to my, like it's part of my identity 422 00:37:04,740 --> 00:37:08,000 to do daily one hour episodes. 423 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,640 I would always, I would always say like, 424 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,560 I do one hour episodes daily. 425 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,720 I record my podcast for one hour every day. 426 00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:17,800 So that became part of my identity. 427 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,560 And so that's why it's another reason 428 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,440 why it's so hard for me to switch off of it. 429 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,880 And then it's another thing where I post daily 430 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,180 as part of my identity. 431 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,480 And daily is one thing, but daily one hour is another thing. 432 00:37:35,260 --> 00:37:38,400 I'm not quite sure if it's a very good 433 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:44,120 idea to post one hour episodes every day. 434 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,560 If they're just not very good quality episodes. 435 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,440 I feel like it may be better, like for my longterm health 436 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,840 of the channel and longterm growth. 437 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,560 If I either cut down to like every other day 438 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,880 or every three days, one hour episodes, 439 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,480 or just cut down the episode length 440 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,560 to like 30 minutes or 20 minutes. 441 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:14,560 So I'm kind of in like a predicament 442 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,600 and I'm not really quite sure where to go from here. 443 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,080 I'm kind of just waiting for something to happen. 444 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,480 And if I'm in a situation where I think I am, 445 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,440 where my quality is not going up, 446 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,720 so I'm kind of plateauing as a result 447 00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:32,160 and people are not wanting to listen to the episodes, 448 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,240 then I'm never like something's never gonna happen. 449 00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,160 And that brings me to the other point 450 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,920 of becoming a guest on a podcast. 451 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,400 So I've looked into how to actually go about doing that. 452 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,200 I read an article and pretty much there's three ways. 453 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:55,200 There's one is to get like the actual 454 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,040 podcaster to reach out to you, which is very rare, 455 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,920 especially for someone who's never been a guest 456 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,120 on any show and especially for someone who's not very known. 457 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,120 Like I've got seven subscribers. 458 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:13,120 So I don't think that many people know about me yet. 459 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,800 So that option is like out of the park. 460 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,400 And then the second option is to me go in 461 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,440 and like personally contact the show 462 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,160 and ask like if I could be a guest, 463 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,400 which I'm kind of leaning towards that option. 464 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,240 And then the third option is to use a third party 465 00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:35,920 to connect us both, which there, 466 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:40,320 in the article they listed a few different third parties. 467 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,440 There's one that was free 468 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,920 or there may be a few that were free, 469 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,480 but there's one that I read that was free. 470 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,800 So I might use that as well. 471 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,560 And basically the kind of task that I have right now 472 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,480 is to make a dream 100 list. 473 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:03,480 So a dream 100 list is basically around 100 people 474 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:08,480 that you need to contact or that you need to kind of 475 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,960 let me phrase this better. 476 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,800 The dream 100 list is 100 people 477 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,120 that you are gonna be in contact with 478 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,160 or you are gonna be, okay, the dream 100 lists 479 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,840 are 100 people that are gonna be useful to you in the future 480 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,760 that you have not actually tapped into yet. 481 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:39,520 So for example, if you were a like massive, 482 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:42,440 okay, so if you were selling, 483 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,320 if your business was selling extremely high ticket items 484 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,320 like massive tractors or stuff like that 485 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,520 and you were on like, 486 00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,240 you would have your dream 100 list just be like clients, 487 00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:02,520 your most valuable clients. 488 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:07,160 For example, like government contracts, 489 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,480 there probably can be a very valuable client 490 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:15,440 and other clients that are extremely valuable to you. 491 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,920 So you would find like 100 clients for that. 492 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,800 It doesn't have to be 100, it could be 50, 493 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,560 it could be 200 or 500, 494 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,880 it just 100 is just a ballpark number. 495 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:31,440 And then, but let's say you were selling lower ticket items 496 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,160 in your business, like you were selling soap 497 00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:39,480 or let's say something better. 498 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,280 Yeah, let's just do soap. 499 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,600 So then you would want to find your dream 100 list 500 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,160 would be people that are congregating your customers. 501 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,040 So you wouldn't go directly to the customers 502 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:55,040 because selling 100 bars of soap is not nearly as good 503 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,880 as selling 100 tractors. 504 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,920 Like you're gonna make like $100 off the soap 505 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,280 but you're gonna make like $100,000 off the tractors, 506 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,680 probably more. 507 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:07,720 So there's a big difference. 508 00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:09,480 So that's why you wanna go, 509 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,320 your dream 100 list is gonna be people 510 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,160 who already have congregated your customers. 511 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,280 For example, your dream 100 list would be like, 512 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,160 big content creators. 513 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,160 So let's say there's a health and beauty YouTuber, 514 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,760 that would be your dream 100. 515 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,880 That person would be on your dream 100 list. 516 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,600 And how this relates to my current situation is, 517 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:41,600 I want to be, I want to gain more viewers. 518 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,320 I want my podcast to grow, I wanna grow my podcast. 519 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,800 So my dream 100 list is gonna consist of 520 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,800 a bunch of entry level, that's a bad word to use. 521 00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:01,360 A bunch of lower, less popular podcasters 522 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,640 that I can get access to. 523 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,560 Because one thing is that, 524 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,960 I probably won't have much success getting on to higher, 525 00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:17,120 like more popular podcasts, 526 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,960 simply because I'm not very well known 527 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:23,560 so it won't benefit them too much to have me on the show. 528 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,920 So that's why it would probably be best 529 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,840 if I work my way up and start with less popular shows 530 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:30,760 and work my way up. 531 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,200 Because that will give me, 532 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,240 one thing it'll give me experience, 533 00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:40,600 where I get more practice talking. 534 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,920 Because there's one thing, 535 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,640 being a guest speaker on a different person's podcast 536 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,640 is definitely outside my comfort zone. 537 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,360 And I probably am gonna be very nervous 538 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,240 once I get on a show. 539 00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:01,240 And so it would be better if I get on a lower viewer show, 540 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,840 like less than a thousand or something like that. 541 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,480 So I can get the practice and get more comfortable on it. 542 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,760 And then eventually once I build my way up, 543 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,000 then I'll be able to get higher and higher 544 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,600 and I'll start to build my name, 545 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,120 like a name for myself, build some credibility. 546 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,600 And then I'll actually be able to make it 547 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,240 onto the bigger shows and I'll actually be prepared. 548 00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:27,160 Which goes along with podcasting in general. 549 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,640 Like it's good that no one listens to you in the beginning 550 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,760 cause you suck, you suck in the beginning. 551 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,960 Which is why you get time when no one's listening 552 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,280 to hone in on your skills and practice. 553 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:44,280 Like if I had a thousand people listening to me right now 554 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,080 and I had my same skills of when I started, 555 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,280 like a hundred days ago when I started, 556 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,400 I would probably not be like as, 557 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,640 it just wouldn't be as good because a thousand people 558 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,520 listening to a trash person, 559 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:09,040 they are a trash skill person, low skilled person, 560 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,640 it's not gonna be as good as like zero people listening 561 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,360 because when you have the zero people listening, 562 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,800 you have more time to hone in on your skill. 563 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,240 Which is another thing, maybe it is good 564 00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:24,760 that I only have seven people listening to my show. 565 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,760 Because like I'm questioning if I should even have 566 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,200 like one hour episodes every day or not. 567 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:39,200 Like there's the reasoning behind my one hour episode 568 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,000 is because two things, when I first started the podcast, 569 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,600 Russell Brunson said, if you post daily on your show 570 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,600 for an entire year, you'll never have to worry 571 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,640 about money again and you'll find your voice. 572 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,600 So that's why I initially started. 573 00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,760 But then when I started, I was like, 574 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,300 oh, how long episode should I make? 575 00:46:02,300 --> 00:46:06,940 And in the beginning, since I seriously was just not good, 576 00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:08,260 I couldn't talk for an hour. 577 00:46:08,260 --> 00:46:12,020 So I figured that it would be good to do progressive overload 578 00:46:12,020 --> 00:46:14,340 and like start low and then add my way up. 579 00:46:14,340 --> 00:46:18,660 And I think I still have the piece of paper of, yeah, 580 00:46:18,660 --> 00:46:19,660 here it is. 581 00:46:19,660 --> 00:46:24,660 So this piece of paper, I would write down on it every day. 582 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,940 I would say, I'm showing this on the YouTube 583 00:46:27,940 --> 00:46:30,420 if you are watching on YouTube. 584 00:46:30,420 --> 00:46:35,420 But every day I would write down, it's a podcast length. 585 00:46:37,140 --> 00:46:40,420 And then I wrote, beat it every day until 90 minutes, 586 00:46:40,420 --> 00:46:43,300 which my goal was 90 minute episodes, 587 00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:44,780 which I'm glad I did not do 588 00:46:44,780 --> 00:46:49,780 because daily 90 minute episodes would be difficult. 589 00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:54,220 And I wrote down like all the times, 590 00:46:54,220 --> 00:46:58,340 like the time length of each episode after I was done. 591 00:46:58,340 --> 00:46:59,460 And then I would look at it 592 00:46:59,460 --> 00:47:00,740 and make sure that I beat it. 593 00:47:00,740 --> 00:47:02,480 And then I'd end the episode. 594 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:07,480 So in the, on August 27th, wait no, 595 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,220 this is January, February, March, April, May, June, July. 596 00:47:11,220 --> 00:47:15,580 This is July 27th, 22 minute episode. 597 00:47:15,580 --> 00:47:19,220 And then on, every single day I would write down 598 00:47:19,220 --> 00:47:20,060 more and more. 599 00:47:20,060 --> 00:47:25,060 And then on the last day, August 2nd was 52 minutes 600 00:47:25,340 --> 00:47:26,740 and 12 seconds. 601 00:47:26,740 --> 00:47:29,580 And I'm pretty sure after I recorded that, 602 00:47:29,580 --> 00:47:31,380 like the next day I hit one hour. 603 00:47:31,380 --> 00:47:36,380 So the reason why I wanted to do one hour episodes 604 00:47:36,580 --> 00:47:39,340 was because those were the type of episodes 605 00:47:39,340 --> 00:47:40,540 I used to listen to. 606 00:47:40,540 --> 00:47:43,300 I used to listen to Diary of a CEO, 607 00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:47,260 modern wisdom, on purpose. 608 00:47:48,780 --> 00:47:50,480 Those, I used to listen to those. 609 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,100 And those were longer episodes, 610 00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:54,700 like one hour, 90 minute episodes. 611 00:47:54,700 --> 00:47:59,700 And so I wanted to congregate similar viewers 612 00:48:03,140 --> 00:48:04,740 to what I was. 613 00:48:04,740 --> 00:48:08,060 Because those were the type of episodes I would listen to. 614 00:48:08,060 --> 00:48:10,860 If it was not like, if it was edited down 615 00:48:10,860 --> 00:48:13,260 and it was like 20 minute long episodes 616 00:48:13,260 --> 00:48:15,180 or something like that, I wouldn't have listened to it 617 00:48:15,180 --> 00:48:16,620 because at that point of time, 618 00:48:16,620 --> 00:48:19,040 when I was listening to podcasts, 619 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,940 that was when I was like doing, 620 00:48:21,940 --> 00:48:24,800 now there was a point of time, 621 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,760 okay, so going back to the story of when I would bike 622 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:34,040 in the cold every morning and I would bike to the gym 623 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,520 at like six in the morning. 624 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,040 There was a very long period of time 625 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,800 when I would actually have no AirPods in. 626 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,520 Like I didn't really listen to music ever throughout my life. 627 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,040 But then once I got into podcasting, 628 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,640 I don't remember when that was, 629 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,400 but I got into podcasting 630 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,760 and I started listening to these podcasts literally every day 631 00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,400 and I would listen to them from the moment I got in my bike 632 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:01,760 until I got to school. 633 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:06,760 So probably like two hours, I would listen daily, two hours. 634 00:49:08,180 --> 00:49:12,880 So I was basically listening to two hours every day 635 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,280 of a podcast. 636 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:21,280 And on Diary of a CEO, he only posted like every other day 637 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,480 or every three days or something like that. 638 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,120 So I would have to, I would only be able to listen 639 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,560 to Diary of a CEO like every other day 640 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,800 or every three days or something like that. 641 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,080 So that's why I had three different episodes. 642 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,080 And so I wanted to attract myself as a listener 643 00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:43,320 and myself was someone who listened to podcasts 644 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,360 every single day, like for two hours every day. 645 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:52,360 And so I wanted to post daily for that person, 646 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:57,320 but I also wanted, like the number one thing was daily, 647 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,200 but then I wanted to figure out who my listener was 648 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,560 and I wanted myself, like someone like myself to listen. 649 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,080 And at the time I was only listening 650 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,960 to long form unedited videos 651 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,080 because I heard Hamza say, 652 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,360 don't listen to the edited stuff, 653 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:14,760 listen to the long form stuff 654 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,320 because that will help you like build up your, 655 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,360 it'll help you like lower your dopamine or something, 656 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:22,520 something like that. 657 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:28,920 Like it's less like dopamine, whatever, it's less addicting. 658 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,560 And that's why I did it. 659 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,960 So that's kind of the predicament I'm in right now. 660 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,640 I want to, if I can, I want to maintain all this, 661 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,200 but I got to figure out how to sustain this 662 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,920 because I've been like literally, 663 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,400 for the past couple of days I've been reading Die Wise 664 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,760 and I haven't really talked about it much on the episodes 665 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,760 simply because I don't really understand it that well. 666 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:56,680 Yeah. 667 00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,920 Like there's a lot of foreign concepts that he talks about 668 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,440 that I've never even thought about before. 669 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:09,320 And if I had started podcasting right when I, 670 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:14,320 like right when I started studying, 671 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,800 trans surfing the first time or reading, 672 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,120 trans surfing the first time, 673 00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,840 if I was podcasting back then, 674 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:21,920 I'd probably be in a similar situation 675 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:25,920 where I had never even thought about these concepts. 676 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,960 And so that's why it's not in the regard of me 677 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,080 bringing in new information every day. 678 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:42,080 It's hard to sustain like back a couple of weeks ago 679 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,920 I would post trans surfing principles episodes. 680 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,000 Those were unique episodes that I really liked. 681 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,560 And those were episodes where I was able to record 682 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,360 two episodes on one day at that time, 683 00:51:55,360 --> 00:52:00,360 which was very useful because there's a lot of times 684 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,040 when I go, like there's been a few times 685 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:04,560 when I've gone like out of town 686 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,200 and I wasn't able to record, 687 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,840 which by the way, I have one instance like that 688 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,840 in a month, less than a month where I'm going out of town 689 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,200 and I'm not gonna, 690 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,880 I'm choosing not to bring my recording stuff 691 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,600 on vacation with me 692 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,040 because I haven't had any like true rest days 693 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:26,600 from podcasting. 694 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,840 And that is definitely affecting the quality of my episodes. 695 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,080 And I've talked about this in a past episode. 696 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:38,080 I'm in a situation where I want to maintain daily episodes 697 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,280 and I want to maintain daily one hour episodes, 698 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,240 but I also want to grow the channel. 699 00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:49,800 And I also want my episodes to get better. 700 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,360 Like I don't like posting bad episodes. 701 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:58,360 Like it's, it makes me disappointed in myself 702 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:02,120 for recording a bad episode. 703 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,480 And there's been a few bad episodes that I posted. 704 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,520 For example, there is one episode recently that I posted. 705 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,000 It's called I Failed. 706 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,080 And I think that's a bad episode. 707 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,840 And then there's probably been a few bad episodes 708 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,320 in the past month or so. 709 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,720 And I don't like that. 710 00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:23,720 And I kind of feel like every day 711 00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:26,320 I just have to hit record and do it. 712 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,680 And so that's like, it's hard. 713 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,640 I have to figure out some way to make it sustainable. 714 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:37,640 And that brings me into my studying. 715 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,640 I'm kind of questioning if it's a good idea for me 716 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,920 to read die-wise or if I should go back to where I am 717 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,600 and like actually knowledgeable in. 718 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,520 So I want to expand my knowledge. 719 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:56,920 I want to expand my worldview. 720 00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,560 Reading die-wise, I feel will be extremely beneficial to me. 721 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:06,480 But I also am in a situation where I want to grow 722 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,360 the quality of this channel and of these episodes. 723 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,000 And that requires me learning new things 724 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,360 that I actually understand every day, 725 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,320 which brings me to the laws of success book. 726 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:20,680 I don't know what it's about, 727 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,000 but I assume it's going to be something 728 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,000 that I'm familiar with 729 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,160 or at least stuff that is on, 730 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,480 like I'm on the verge of discovering for myself 731 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,520 that I've just yet to discover. 732 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,520 And I feel like if I were to read the laws of success 733 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,040 and 16 lessons, 734 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,680 I'd be able to have a lot better episodes 735 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,640 as well as if I decided to read 736 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,960 Reality Transurfing a third time through, 737 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:54,960 which I don't want to reread that again 738 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,120 because that is like a two month commitment of reading, 739 00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:03,560 which I 100% would do, 740 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:07,960 but I also know that I've read all that stuff. 741 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,840 So I kind of, I have an idea of what's in it. 742 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,920 So I'm not really going to discover anything brand new, 743 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,280 which I will be able to discover brand new stuff 744 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,040 in reading books like Die Wise, 745 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,560 Ascent of Humanity, Come of Age, 746 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:23,960 Journeys out of the Body, 747 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,800 like all these books I'll be able to discover new things. 748 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,120 But then there's another thing, 749 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,120 Toofty the Priestess is a book about Transurfing. 750 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,200 It's, Vadom Zal and wrote that as well. 751 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,120 That I've actually been able to talk 752 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:41,800 and I've only read like 30 pages of that 753 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,280 because I started to read it 754 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:44,880 when I was reading seven books at once. 755 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,960 And then I realized that I'm not able to read 756 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,080 seven books at once efficiently. 757 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,800 So I dropped down to one book 758 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,360 and I was reading Toofty the Priestess, 759 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:57,040 only 30 pages and I've been able to talk about that. 760 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,760 Like there's one concept in it 761 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,640 that I bring up over and over and over again 762 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,120 over these past couple of episodes, 763 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:04,880 which is your attention. 764 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,200 And it's basically, I've talked about it in today's episode, 765 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,600 when you are awake, like the inner screen 766 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,440 and the outer screen, if you're immersed in the outer screen 767 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,760 or the inner screen, you're asleep. 768 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,640 Like that is something that is a brand new book 769 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:18,920 and I'm discovering new things, 770 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,440 but it's like not foreign concepts. 771 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:26,280 Like, DIYs is presenting very, a lot of foreign concepts. 772 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,360 Like, dying. 773 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,560 Like I've never really thought about dying 774 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,840 and it's bringing up like why that is. 775 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,840 Why we live in a, like we live in a society. 776 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,960 It's exposing the fact that we live in a society 777 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,520 where people don't think about dying. 778 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,360 Like people know that other people will die, 779 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,600 but they don't necessarily know, 780 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,280 like yeah, they understand that they too will die, 781 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,480 but they don't really know that. 782 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,960 That's why it's a huge shock 783 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,280 when you actually are told that you're dying. 784 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,680 And even that, that little piece of information 785 00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,120 that I gave you, I still don't know 786 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,160 if I gave it 100% justice. 787 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,280 I still don't know if what I said 788 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,200 is completely true to that book, 789 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,720 which I do experience a lot of times 790 00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:15,200 when I'm talking about trans surfing. 791 00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,440 Like there's some concepts that I talk about 792 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,080 in trans surfing that I'm not quite sure 793 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:24,080 if I completely like grabbed a hold of yet, 794 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:31,800 but I say it anyways because it's good practice for me. 795 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,400 And yeah, I don't know. 796 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,280 So those are the predicaments that I'm in. 797 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,880 And I wanna maintain, I just gotta figure out, 798 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,040 I know that it's possible to post daily one hour episodes. 799 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,040 I know it's possible, but I gotta figure out 800 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:52,800 how I can make it sustainable. 801 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,280 And one thing that I've been thinking about 802 00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,080 is batch recording. 803 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,800 On the weekends, just record like seven episodes 804 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:07,800 on the weekends, which would be great, but the thing is 805 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,320 I don't have much time. 806 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,280 I could make it work on the weekends, 807 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,920 but I don't have like much time on the weekdays 808 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:20,920 to actually get seven episodes worth of notes. 809 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,680 Like if I were to do the batch record of seven episodes, 810 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,600 I would want to get seven episodes worth of notes. 811 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,880 So for context, back when I was recording 812 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,960 the Transurfing Principles episodes, 813 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,280 I basically was studying Transurfing like every morning 814 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,320 and I would write a lot of notes. 815 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:50,320 Like I filled up like almost an entire notebook, 816 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,440 like a big notebook. 817 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,720 Spiral, it was basically a spiral notebook size, 818 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,720 but it's not actually a spiral notebook. 819 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,120 And I filled that whole thing up 820 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,800 from just studying Transurfing, 821 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,200 and it's probably took me like a week 822 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,720 to get one episode worth of notes. 823 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,440 And I was studying just Transurfing for a whole week. 824 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,400 So that's kind of the thing where I'm kind of 825 00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,440 in that predicament where I'm not quite sure 826 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,840 how I can make it sustainable to where I can spend 827 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,680 a whole week just like I can spend five days 828 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:32,680 just studying enough notes and taking enough notes 829 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,800 to condense down into seven episodes. 830 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,760 Like that's seven times of what I was doing before. 831 00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,680 So I don't know, if you guys have any suggestions, 832 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:51,080 send them my way at my email, James, at ascendmomentum.com. 833 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,640 Otherwise, I gotta try and figure this out myself. 834 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,440 And you guys aren't even gonna see this episode 835 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:02,360 until next Monday, which is the 30th of October. 836 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:03,880 And right now it's the 27th. 837 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,280 So who knows, maybe I'll figure it out by then. 838 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,200 But that's it for the episode. 839 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:29,200 So follow for more and have a good day.
