Practice #75 - Creating Content Changed My Life Regardless Of The Results
Find your voice.
Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
Seven months ago, I started my podcast.
2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,680
I started the YouTube channel.
3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,040
And I originally started that because Russell Brunson, an author of a book that I read called
4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,640
Expert Secrets, he said that if you post every day for an entire year, you will never have
5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,000
to worry about money again.
6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
And so me, as an early entrepreneur, like a fresh newborn entrepreneur, I'm just like,
7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,240
oh wow.
8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,240
It's that easy?
9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,360
I'll do it.
10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,760
So I just started, I started a podcast, started posting every single day.
11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:42,840
No results, even today, seven months later, there's no money results, but there's one
12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,200
thing that kept me going.
13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,240
And it's the self-improvement concept.
14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:55,160
I was talking about this a lot while I was making those podcast episodes.
15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,040
In the beginning, I was terrible.
16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,440
I literally couldn't go back.
17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,360
I couldn't speak for more than five seconds straight without pausing because I just couldn't
18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,960
think of what else to say.
19
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:10,240
Like I couldn't keep the flow going.
20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,280
Like I was absolutely awful.
21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:20,040
But now, while I'm on the journey, so episode one, terrible.
22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,080
Episode 20, terrible, but far better.
23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,720
And once I got to episode 20, I looked back on episode one.
24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,800
I'm like, wow, I got so much better.
25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,280
And that was just 20 days.
26
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,360
And then on episode 40, I looked back and I was like, wow, I got so much better from
27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,880
episode 20, much less episode one.
28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:46,760
So literally the self-improvement aspect to creating content is what drove me because
29
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,480
I knew that I probably wasn't going to get results for a very long time.
30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,480
I understood that I sucked, so no one's going to want to watch myself.
31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,280
Yet I still wanted people to watch myself and I still had high hopes.
32
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,840
But deep down, I knew that it's like, it's a long grind.
33
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,040
And if I'm going to want to actually make it, then I've got to figure out a different
34
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,120
reason other than money to do it.
35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,400
So early on, I realized, oh, wow, I'm actually growing so much as a person from this because
36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,880
in the beginning, I didn't even, I barely even know how to talk.
37
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,000
And now I can talk way more effectively and fluently.
38
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,560
And it actually helped in real life too.
39
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:38,160
It's actually very crazy because I just remember going to school and I'm way more effective
40
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,560
with my speech, way more effective with my communication.
41
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,080
And I used to be really bad at presentations.
42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Like didn't really know how to do it.
43
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,680
I got really nervous.
44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,160
And it helped that I did comfort zone challenges over summer.
45
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:58,640
But another thing that helped with my presentations was I can literally go into a presentation
46
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,760
with no preparation.
47
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,320
And if I just know vaguely the concept of the topic, I can literally just spew out a bunch
48
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,600
of words and sound really smart and get through the presentation very well.
49
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,080
Now that was during a school presentation, so it didn't really matter.
50
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,440
If I was in a real life presentation, I would definitely not prepare.
51
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,280
I would definitely prepare.
52
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:29,880
But just the simple act of creating content and just practicing my skills, practicing
53
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:39,040
being a YouTuber, being a podcaster, that really grew myself.
54
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,240
It's actually crazy.
55
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,920
In the beginning, my main focus was simply just being more fluent, being more like actually
56
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:52,440
speaking words that people could hear and understand and not get like, oh, what is this
57
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,440
kid doing?
58
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,920
He doesn't even know how to talk.
59
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Like that was all I really wanted.
60
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,840
That was my main focus.
61
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,560
And then eventually I was like, okay, now I'm just going to fill all of the space.
62
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,760
I'm not going to have any pauses.
63
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,600
I'm just going to spew out everything that is in my mind.
64
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:15,160
I'm going to learn how to just get information out and speak from my heart.
65
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:21,920
And then eventually I started to realize like, oh, I got to get better at storytelling.
66
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,000
And so I got to make better stories.
67
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,800
And I was focusing on storytelling pretty much the whole time, but I became way more
68
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,960
conscious and intentional through reading books about reading storytelling recently.
69
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,760
And then I realized, oh, I can actually start to change my speech.
70
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:46,720
I got to start to make pauses in my, like I got to add pauses to end of my phrases to
71
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,480
add more like power.
72
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Oh, I got to like have a smile behind, like have a smile on my face so I can back my words
73
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,880
with emotion.
74
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,520
And then I got to also add like gestures and like early on in my YouTube, when I actually
75
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,120
started posting intentionally on YouTube, not just making podcast episodes, I would literally
76
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,440
just sit like this the whole time.
77
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,440
And that was fine.
78
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,480
I was able to just say things and it was cool with IBE.
79
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,800
But I just feel like it's way more like you can show yourself and express yourself way
80
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,320
better if you're like walking around doing like, like using your hands like doing this
81
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,560
stuff, you know, like the things that like talking with your hands.
82
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:42,760
So it's just like me simply just creating content and becoming a podcaster has grown
83
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:50,840
me and it's helped me to grow real life skills, storytelling, communication, effective communication,
84
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,720
influence, like presentation skills.
85
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720
I had no idea I would be able to develop that.
86
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:05,880
Like all kinds of things and one of the greatest things of all is finding your voice.
87
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:11,760
I was like, oh, like, I didn't really understand what that was.
88
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,480
But I knew that was kind of powerful and I was like, Oh, I kind of want to find my voice.
89
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000
So I started to find my voice like episode 30.
90
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I was way more like passionate about what I was talking about episode 50.
91
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,160
I was way more passionate and I was like more of an expert and I started to realize, oh,
92
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,040
like this is what I want to talk about.
93
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,240
And I started to think like, I started, okay, so this whole journey I was basically just
94
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:43,400
throwing out a bunch of nets into the water, seeing what works, basically me just sending
95
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,000
out a bunch of like messages.
96
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,920
So I remember I would talk about Transurfing a lot and then I would talk about like the
97
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,440
gateway experience and I would talk about just self improvement, like all kinds of other
98
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,840
things.
99
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:00,520
And so I kind of started to learn like what I was more passionate about than the others.
100
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,880
And so I started to move on from other things and started focusing on other things.
101
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Like right now I'm focusing on like finding your like today's episode is like finding
102
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,640
your voice.
103
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,620
And then I'm talking about like social media in the next episode.
104
00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:17,920
So that's sneak peek.
105
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:25,880
But all kinds of different things is what you like you can talk about so many different
106
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,320
things and you really start to find out what you're passionate about.
107
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,760
And I'm definitely confident that in another hundred days, I'm going to be talking about
108
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,720
completely different things, or at least I'm going to be going way more deeper into certain
109
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,600
things or way more broad.
110
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,040
I don't know.
111
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:52,720
But finding my voice has brought so much confidence and courage for me because I remember literally
112
00:07:52,720 --> 00:08:02,520
like a year ago or yeah a year ago, I was still like I still told people I was going
113
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,840
to college or I still told my parents I was going to college.
114
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Like I didn't even tell anyone I didn't want to go to college.
115
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,760
And then eventually I started reading books and I started to realize oh I kind of want
116
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,760
to not go to college.
117
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:21,540
Like I've always not wanted to go to college but I was like now I'm not going to college.
118
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:26,320
So that was like gave me the confidence because I started to find my voice.
119
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,360
Even though I wasn't really podcasting at the time.
120
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,840
That's an instance of me finding my voice.
121
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,960
I started to get more confident about my like what I'm doing.
122
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,480
Like locking into what I'm doing.
123
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,280
And I just think it's a true form of like expression.
124
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Because when we first like started habitat like started to roam the earth like millennia
125
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,880
ago like thousands of years ago, millions of years ago.
126
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520
When we started to roam around, we had to hunt.
127
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920
We had to grow our own crops.
128
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,880
We had to like do all these things.
129
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,320
And then over time like recently we had like the industrial revolution.
130
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760
So then we started to be able to like create things.
131
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,280
And then another recent thing in human history was the internet which is huge.
132
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:30,240
Because now we've got like this potential to kind of tap into our own purpose.
133
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,400
Over a long time we had to like cook or we had to like hunt for food just to survive.
134
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,400
Like that was what that was a necessity.
135
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:47,440
But now we've got like people we have millions of servants like the average citizen.
136
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,840
Even the poorest person in the world.
137
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Maybe not the world but the poorest person like a homeless person in modern civilization
138
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:03,000
is richer than the richest king 2000 years ago.
139
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,320
Why?
140
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:11,480
Because the simplest things we don't realize but the simplest things thousands of people
141
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,920
served us just to get us this.
142
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:20,800
This microphone that I'm speaking into right now it's got like I don't even know the parts
143
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,080
of it but let's just say the cord.
144
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,480
The cord has like a bunch of different like wires and metal things inside of it.
145
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,480
Those had to get mined.
146
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,000
They had to like they literally had to extract those from the earth.
147
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,520
That was human labor.
148
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,240
There were people that actually went to do that or machines people operated machines
149
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,840
to do that.
150
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,400
And then they had to transport that.
151
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:52,000
And this is not just talking about the simple thing like they're okay you can go so deep
152
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:00,200
into this because at the root of this wire it started in the earth and then somebody
153
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,960
had to extract it and let's say they used a machine to extract it.
154
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,620
Well then somebody had to create that machine.
155
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:14,080
So they had to first learn how to make the machine and then they had to actually go and
156
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,000
extract more materials to make the machine and then they had to actually package it and
157
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
send it.
158
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,280
And you can go so deep into this and like you'll realize that we live in a society where everybody
159
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,360
is serving everybody.
160
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Literally I have billions of people serving me.
161
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Every single person has billions of people serving them and they don't even notice.
162
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,760
Like I go my day and I'm not really conscious of it.
163
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Like this pen something is simple this pen there's three parts to it like the metal the
164
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,480
ink and the plastic tube.
165
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,800
You can take each individual material and trace the origin and then you pinpoint every
166
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,400
single person involved from like material gathering like actually coming up with the
167
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:16,960
blueprint for the pen like transportation transporting the material transporting the final product
168
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:23,480
actually assembling the pen like this is thousands of workers just to make a pen so I can use
169
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,880
it for like five bucks.
170
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,160
No this pen a package of like three of them is like six bucks.
171
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,440
That's insane.
172
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:38,760
I have an army of servants serving me for practically for free.
173
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,320
Like that's crazy.
174
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,800
So but that's a whole side tangent.
175
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,440
I didn't really necessarily mean to get into that side tangent.
176
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:53,840
The purpose of that side tangent was to say that we have evolved and we've developed their
177
00:12:53,840 --> 00:13:01,640
society to such an extent to where it would be a shame if you don't pursue your purpose.
178
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:07,160
If you don't pursue your true art or your true gift or your true potential or whatever
179
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:15,480
that is if you're stuck working a job you hate that's a shame because we have billions
180
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:22,040
of servants helping us and now that the Internet is a thing we can truly express our art form
181
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,400
especially with social media like content creation.
182
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,840
It's actually crazy.
183
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:34,800
Now some people may say like oh I got school oh I got work like no you can always find
184
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,800
time.
185
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,680
You all get 24 hours in the day.
186
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:41,200
You know what I did.
187
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,520
I graduated early.
188
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,640
I cut out all my schedule.
189
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,640
I wasn't doing that.
190
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:56,080
Like I needed to find time for self improvement before I even had the ability to graduate
191
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,800
early or cut out my schedule.
192
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,960
So you know what I did.
193
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:07,080
I woke up early and I cut my evening short and now the first like two hours or three
194
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:12,760
hours of the day before school was dedicated to self improvement and improving myself and
195
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:19,160
then that over time compounds until eventually you can start to free up more time.
196
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,600
Now if you're in like the corporate world you're probably not going to be able to just
197
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,120
like graduate early like that's not a thing.
198
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:32,600
So in order to do that you should probably pursue a venture in the morning and then over
199
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,000
time you just keep working at it and then you'll get more and more money until eventually
200
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,840
you can move like move on.
201
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,240
I don't know.
202
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:57,640
I I've never experienced that so take it as you will.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
Seven months ago, I started my podcast.
2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,680
I started the YouTube channel.
3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,040
And I originally started that because Russell Brunson, an author of a book that I read called
4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:16,640
Expert Secrets, he said that if you post every day for an entire year, you will never have
5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,000
to worry about money again.
6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
And so me, as an early entrepreneur, like a fresh newborn entrepreneur, I'm just like,
7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,240
oh wow.
8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,240
It's that easy?
9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,360
I'll do it.
10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,760
So I just started, I started a podcast, started posting every single day.
11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:42,840
No results, even today, seven months later, there's no money results, but there's one
12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,200
thing that kept me going.
13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,240
And it's the self-improvement concept.
14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:55,160
I was talking about this a lot while I was making those podcast episodes.
15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,040
In the beginning, I was terrible.
16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,440
I literally couldn't go back.
17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,360
I couldn't speak for more than five seconds straight without pausing because I just couldn't
18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,960
think of what else to say.
19
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:10,240
Like I couldn't keep the flow going.
20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,280
Like I was absolutely awful.
21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:20,040
But now, while I'm on the journey, so episode one, terrible.
22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,080
Episode 20, terrible, but far better.
23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,720
And once I got to episode 20, I looked back on episode one.
24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,800
I'm like, wow, I got so much better.
25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,280
And that was just 20 days.
26
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,360
And then on episode 40, I looked back and I was like, wow, I got so much better from
27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,880
episode 20, much less episode one.
28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:46,760
So literally the self-improvement aspect to creating content is what drove me because
29
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,480
I knew that I probably wasn't going to get results for a very long time.
30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,480
I understood that I sucked, so no one's going to want to watch myself.
31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,280
Yet I still wanted people to watch myself and I still had high hopes.
32
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,840
But deep down, I knew that it's like, it's a long grind.
33
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,040
And if I'm going to want to actually make it, then I've got to figure out a different
34
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,120
reason other than money to do it.
35
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,400
So early on, I realized, oh, wow, I'm actually growing so much as a person from this because
36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,880
in the beginning, I didn't even, I barely even know how to talk.
37
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,000
And now I can talk way more effectively and fluently.
38
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,560
And it actually helped in real life too.
39
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:38,160
It's actually very crazy because I just remember going to school and I'm way more effective
40
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,560
with my speech, way more effective with my communication.
41
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,080
And I used to be really bad at presentations.
42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Like didn't really know how to do it.
43
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,680
I got really nervous.
44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,160
And it helped that I did comfort zone challenges over summer.
45
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:58,640
But another thing that helped with my presentations was I can literally go into a presentation
46
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,760
with no preparation.
47
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:06,320
And if I just know vaguely the concept of the topic, I can literally just spew out a bunch
48
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,600
of words and sound really smart and get through the presentation very well.
49
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,080
Now that was during a school presentation, so it didn't really matter.
50
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,440
If I was in a real life presentation, I would definitely not prepare.
51
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,280
I would definitely prepare.
52
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:29,880
But just the simple act of creating content and just practicing my skills, practicing
53
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:39,040
being a YouTuber, being a podcaster, that really grew myself.
54
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,240
It's actually crazy.
55
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,920
In the beginning, my main focus was simply just being more fluent, being more like actually
56
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:52,440
speaking words that people could hear and understand and not get like, oh, what is this
57
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,440
kid doing?
58
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,920
He doesn't even know how to talk.
59
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Like that was all I really wanted.
60
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,840
That was my main focus.
61
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,560
And then eventually I was like, okay, now I'm just going to fill all of the space.
62
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,760
I'm not going to have any pauses.
63
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,600
I'm just going to spew out everything that is in my mind.
64
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:15,160
I'm going to learn how to just get information out and speak from my heart.
65
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:21,920
And then eventually I started to realize like, oh, I got to get better at storytelling.
66
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,000
And so I got to make better stories.
67
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,800
And I was focusing on storytelling pretty much the whole time, but I became way more
68
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,960
conscious and intentional through reading books about reading storytelling recently.
69
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,760
And then I realized, oh, I can actually start to change my speech.
70
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:46,720
I got to start to make pauses in my, like I got to add pauses to end of my phrases to
71
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,480
add more like power.
72
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Oh, I got to like have a smile behind, like have a smile on my face so I can back my words
73
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,880
with emotion.
74
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,520
And then I got to also add like gestures and like early on in my YouTube, when I actually
75
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,120
started posting intentionally on YouTube, not just making podcast episodes, I would literally
76
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,440
just sit like this the whole time.
77
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,440
And that was fine.
78
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,480
I was able to just say things and it was cool with IBE.
79
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,800
But I just feel like it's way more like you can show yourself and express yourself way
80
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,320
better if you're like walking around doing like, like using your hands like doing this
81
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,560
stuff, you know, like the things that like talking with your hands.
82
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:42,760
So it's just like me simply just creating content and becoming a podcaster has grown
83
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:50,840
me and it's helped me to grow real life skills, storytelling, communication, effective communication,
84
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,720
influence, like presentation skills.
85
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720
I had no idea I would be able to develop that.
86
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:05,880
Like all kinds of things and one of the greatest things of all is finding your voice.
87
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:11,760
I was like, oh, like, I didn't really understand what that was.
88
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,480
But I knew that was kind of powerful and I was like, Oh, I kind of want to find my voice.
89
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000
So I started to find my voice like episode 30.
90
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I was way more like passionate about what I was talking about episode 50.
91
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,160
I was way more passionate and I was like more of an expert and I started to realize, oh,
92
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,040
like this is what I want to talk about.
93
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,240
And I started to think like, I started, okay, so this whole journey I was basically just
94
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:43,400
throwing out a bunch of nets into the water, seeing what works, basically me just sending
95
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,000
out a bunch of like messages.
96
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,920
So I remember I would talk about Transurfing a lot and then I would talk about like the
97
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,440
gateway experience and I would talk about just self improvement, like all kinds of other
98
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,840
things.
99
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:00,520
And so I kind of started to learn like what I was more passionate about than the others.
100
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,880
And so I started to move on from other things and started focusing on other things.
101
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Like right now I'm focusing on like finding your like today's episode is like finding
102
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,640
your voice.
103
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,620
And then I'm talking about like social media in the next episode.
104
00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:17,920
So that's sneak peek.
105
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:25,880
But all kinds of different things is what you like you can talk about so many different
106
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,320
things and you really start to find out what you're passionate about.
107
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,760
And I'm definitely confident that in another hundred days, I'm going to be talking about
108
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,720
completely different things, or at least I'm going to be going way more deeper into certain
109
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,600
things or way more broad.
110
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,040
I don't know.
111
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:52,720
But finding my voice has brought so much confidence and courage for me because I remember literally
112
00:07:52,720 --> 00:08:02,520
like a year ago or yeah a year ago, I was still like I still told people I was going
113
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,840
to college or I still told my parents I was going to college.
114
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Like I didn't even tell anyone I didn't want to go to college.
115
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,760
And then eventually I started reading books and I started to realize oh I kind of want
116
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,760
to not go to college.
117
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:21,540
Like I've always not wanted to go to college but I was like now I'm not going to college.
118
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:26,320
So that was like gave me the confidence because I started to find my voice.
119
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,360
Even though I wasn't really podcasting at the time.
120
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,840
That's an instance of me finding my voice.
121
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,960
I started to get more confident about my like what I'm doing.
122
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,480
Like locking into what I'm doing.
123
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,280
And I just think it's a true form of like expression.
124
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Because when we first like started habitat like started to roam the earth like millennia
125
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,880
ago like thousands of years ago, millions of years ago.
126
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520
When we started to roam around, we had to hunt.
127
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920
We had to grow our own crops.
128
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,880
We had to like do all these things.
129
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,320
And then over time like recently we had like the industrial revolution.
130
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760
So then we started to be able to like create things.
131
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,280
And then another recent thing in human history was the internet which is huge.
132
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:30,240
Because now we've got like this potential to kind of tap into our own purpose.
133
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,400
Over a long time we had to like cook or we had to like hunt for food just to survive.
134
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,400
Like that was what that was a necessity.
135
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:47,440
But now we've got like people we have millions of servants like the average citizen.
136
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,840
Even the poorest person in the world.
137
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Maybe not the world but the poorest person like a homeless person in modern civilization
138
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:03,000
is richer than the richest king 2000 years ago.
139
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,320
Why?
140
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:11,480
Because the simplest things we don't realize but the simplest things thousands of people
141
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,920
served us just to get us this.
142
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:20,800
This microphone that I'm speaking into right now it's got like I don't even know the parts
143
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,080
of it but let's just say the cord.
144
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,480
The cord has like a bunch of different like wires and metal things inside of it.
145
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,480
Those had to get mined.
146
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,000
They had to like they literally had to extract those from the earth.
147
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,520
That was human labor.
148
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,240
There were people that actually went to do that or machines people operated machines
149
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,840
to do that.
150
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,400
And then they had to transport that.
151
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:52,000
And this is not just talking about the simple thing like they're okay you can go so deep
152
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:00,200
into this because at the root of this wire it started in the earth and then somebody
153
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,960
had to extract it and let's say they used a machine to extract it.
154
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,620
Well then somebody had to create that machine.
155
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:14,080
So they had to first learn how to make the machine and then they had to actually go and
156
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,000
extract more materials to make the machine and then they had to actually package it and
157
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
send it.
158
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,280
And you can go so deep into this and like you'll realize that we live in a society where everybody
159
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,360
is serving everybody.
160
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Literally I have billions of people serving me.
161
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Every single person has billions of people serving them and they don't even notice.
162
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,760
Like I go my day and I'm not really conscious of it.
163
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:52,160
Like this pen something is simple this pen there's three parts to it like the metal the
164
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,480
ink and the plastic tube.
165
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,800
You can take each individual material and trace the origin and then you pinpoint every
166
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,400
single person involved from like material gathering like actually coming up with the
167
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:16,960
blueprint for the pen like transportation transporting the material transporting the final product
168
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:23,480
actually assembling the pen like this is thousands of workers just to make a pen so I can use
169
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,880
it for like five bucks.
170
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,160
No this pen a package of like three of them is like six bucks.
171
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,440
That's insane.
172
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:38,760
I have an army of servants serving me for practically for free.
173
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,320
Like that's crazy.
174
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,800
So but that's a whole side tangent.
175
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,440
I didn't really necessarily mean to get into that side tangent.
176
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:53,840
The purpose of that side tangent was to say that we have evolved and we've developed their
177
00:12:53,840 --> 00:13:01,640
society to such an extent to where it would be a shame if you don't pursue your purpose.
178
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:07,160
If you don't pursue your true art or your true gift or your true potential or whatever
179
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:15,480
that is if you're stuck working a job you hate that's a shame because we have billions
180
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:22,040
of servants helping us and now that the Internet is a thing we can truly express our art form
181
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,400
especially with social media like content creation.
182
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,840
It's actually crazy.
183
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:34,800
Now some people may say like oh I got school oh I got work like no you can always find
184
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,800
time.
185
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,680
You all get 24 hours in the day.
186
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:41,200
You know what I did.
187
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,520
I graduated early.
188
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,640
I cut out all my schedule.
189
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,640
I wasn't doing that.
190
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:56,080
Like I needed to find time for self improvement before I even had the ability to graduate
191
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,800
early or cut out my schedule.
192
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,960
So you know what I did.
193
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:07,080
I woke up early and I cut my evening short and now the first like two hours or three
194
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:12,760
hours of the day before school was dedicated to self improvement and improving myself and
195
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:19,160
then that over time compounds until eventually you can start to free up more time.
196
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,600
Now if you're in like the corporate world you're probably not going to be able to just
197
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,120
like graduate early like that's not a thing.
198
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:32,600
So in order to do that you should probably pursue a venture in the morning and then over
199
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,000
time you just keep working at it and then you'll get more and more money until eventually
200
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,840
you can move like move on.
201
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,240
I don't know.
202
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:57,640
I I've never experienced that so take it as you will.
