Uh so we are talking about a uh a topic that we are talking about a uh a topic that we are talking about a uh a topic that was stimulated from was stimulated from was stimulated from a I want to say a heated conversation of a I want to say a heated conversation of a I want to say a heated conversation of the kitchen, but it wasn't necessarily the kitchen, but it wasn't necessarily the kitchen, but it wasn't necessarily heated between the two of us, but it was heated between the two of us, but it was heated between the two of us, but it was just heated as we were talking just heated as we were talking just heated as we were talking about the the concept of what we're about the the concept of what we're about the the concept of what we're covering in this podcast. Uh because as covering in this podcast. Uh because as covering in this podcast. Uh because as you you know, as it unfolds, you're you you know, as it unfolds, you're you you know, as it unfolds, you're going to you're going to understand the going to you're going to understand the going to you're going to understand the frustration. frustration. frustration. So, you know, as many of you know as So, you know, as many of you know as So, you know, as many of you know as Advid listeners, Dr. Nick and I are are Advid listeners, Dr. Nick and I are are Advid listeners, Dr. Nick and I are are doctors. And, you know, we spent a lot doctors. And, you know, we spent a lot doctors. And, you know, we spent a lot of time and a lot of money to become of time and a lot of money to become of time and a lot of money to become doctors. And when we got out of school, doctors. And when we got out of school, doctors. And when we got out of school, I should just YouTube. What' you say? I should just YouTube. What' you say? I should just YouTube. What' you say? Should I should have just went on Should I should have just went on Should I should have just went on YouTube? Hey, after people listen to YouTube? Hey, after people listen to YouTube? Hey, after people listen to this podcast, that might be what they this podcast, that might be what they this podcast, that might be what they do. do. do. So, you know, don't get me wrong, we're So, you know, don't get me wrong, we're So, you know, don't get me wrong, we're very grateful for our journey and we very grateful for our journey and we very grateful for our journey and we know that it was all part of of uh the know that it was all part of of uh the know that it was all part of of uh the evolution of who we've become, but what evolution of who we've become, but what evolution of who we've become, but what we were uh you know, our initial we were uh you know, our initial we were uh you know, our initial experience is we got out of school and experience is we got out of school and experience is we got out of school and part of why we do what we do now is part of why we do what we do now is part of why we do what we do now is because the textbook didn't tell us because the textbook didn't tell us because the textbook didn't tell us [  ] You know, the the clients that [  ] You know, the the clients that [  ] You know, the the clients that were coming through our door didn't were coming through our door didn't were coming through our door didn't match the textbook. And so you go on match the textbook. And so you go on match the textbook. And so you go on this journey of what do I not know? And this journey of what do I not know? And this journey of what do I not know? And hence for us it spiraled hence for us it spiraled hence for us it spiraled into learning so much more outside of into learning so much more outside of into learning so much more outside of the box concepts when it came to health the box concepts when it came to health the box concepts when it came to health and biochemistry and the physical body and biochemistry and the physical body and biochemistry and the physical body and then it spiraled into the mental, and then it spiraled into the mental, and then it spiraled into the mental, the emotional, the energetic etc. And the emotional, the energetic etc. And the emotional, the energetic etc. And now you know we we've become the the now you know we we've become the the now you know we we've become the the weird and interesting doctors that we weird and interesting doctors that we weird and interesting doctors that we are today. are today. are today. It was funny as uh it was actually just It was funny as uh it was actually just It was funny as uh it was actually just yesterday that uh a newer client he was yesterday that uh a newer client he was yesterday that uh a newer client he was like you know this like you know this like you know this is the way you explain everything is the way you explain everything is the way you explain everything through science even though it's like through science even though it's like through science even though it's like the weird [  ] He's like now it's like the weird [  ] He's like now it's like the weird [  ] He's like now it's like this is normal and all the normal people this is normal and all the normal people this is normal and all the normal people are [  ] weirdos. And I was like yep are [  ] weirdos. And I was like yep are [  ] weirdos. And I was like yep you got it. Well, I think the the thing that we Well, I think the the thing that we Well, I think the the thing that we realized is that especially when it realized is that especially when it realized is that especially when it started, honestly, it's it's all of it. started, honestly, it's it's all of it. started, honestly, it's it's all of it. I was just going to say when it comes to I was just going to say when it comes to I was just going to say when it comes to the mental, emotional, but we had to the mental, emotional, but we had to the mental, emotional, but we had to unlearn so much of what we learned in unlearn so much of what we learned in unlearn so much of what we learned in the more the more the more conventional educational conventional educational conventional educational setting. Um, and I know that we're in setting. Um, and I know that we're in setting. Um, and I know that we're in this era right now that there are a lot this era right now that there are a lot this era right now that there are a lot of people that are homeschooling. You of people that are homeschooling. You of people that are homeschooling. You know, they're putting their kids in know, they're putting their kids in know, they're putting their kids in unconventional school settings unconventional school settings unconventional school settings from I want to say a co-op school. Am I from I want to say a co-op school. Am I from I want to say a co-op school. Am I saying that saying that saying that right? But there are these different right? But there are these different right? But there are these different specialty schools. There are free specialty schools. There are free specialty schools. There are free schools, Waldorf schools, Montasauri schools, Waldorf schools, Montasauri schools, Waldorf schools, Montasauri schools, etc. schools, etc. schools, etc. and and and then people that are just and and and then people that are just and and and then people that are just homeschooling as well. And part of it is homeschooling as well. And part of it is homeschooling as well. And part of it is is people are doing this because they're is people are doing this because they're is people are doing this because they're finding that there are limitations in finding that there are limitations in finding that there are limitations in the traditional educational system. the traditional educational system. the traditional educational system. There's things that they straight up There's things that they straight up There's things that they straight up don't agree with. Um and and they're don't agree with. Um and and they're don't agree with. Um and and they're also finding that kids are not also finding that kids are not also finding that kids are not developing properly. you know, the the developing properly. you know, the the developing properly. you know, the the average IQ of of children of all average IQ of of children of all average IQ of of children of all different ages is not very high in the different ages is not very high in the different ages is not very high in the more conventional more conventional more conventional settings. So then we might say, okay, settings. So then we might say, okay, settings. So then we might say, okay, but there's private schools and then, but there's private schools and then, but there's private schools and then, you know, there's kids that go on to Ivy you know, there's kids that go on to Ivy you know, there's kids that go on to Ivy League schools and Harvard and League schools and Harvard and League schools and Harvard and Yale. And what Nick and I got heated Yale. And what Nick and I got heated Yale. And what Nick and I got heated talking about is talking about is talking about is that most of the time these prestigious that most of the time these prestigious that most of the time these prestigious schools, it's about who you meet. It's schools, it's about who you meet. It's schools, it's about who you meet. It's about the networking about the networking about the networking opportunities. Because at the end of the opportunities. Because at the end of the opportunities. Because at the end of the day, a lot of these school systems, day, a lot of these school systems, day, a lot of these school systems, they're they're taking they're they're taking they're they're taking away creativity. They're taking away away creativity. They're taking away away creativity. They're taking away critical thinking. They're taking away critical thinking. They're taking away critical thinking. They're taking away innovative thinking innovative thinking innovative thinking patterns which because we're patterns which because we're patterns which because we're entrepreneurs and we're always looking entrepreneurs and we're always looking entrepreneurs and we're always looking at businesses and the businesses that we at businesses and the businesses that we at businesses and the businesses that we classify as visionary companies versus classify as visionary companies versus classify as visionary companies versus companies that fail in a couple of years companies that fail in a couple of years companies that fail in a couple of years or companies that are just not as or companies that are just not as or companies that are just not as [Music] [Music] [Music] wellknown. And that's the thing like if wellknown. And that's the thing like if wellknown. And that's the thing like if you ever went and studied Apple that's you ever went and studied Apple that's you ever went and studied Apple that's everything they talk about. They talk everything they talk about. They talk everything they talk about. They talk about it being unique, outside of the about it being unique, outside of the about it being unique, outside of the box, innovative, like doing [  ] that box, innovative, like doing [  ] that box, innovative, like doing [  ] that everybody else thought was crazy and everybody else thought was crazy and everybody else thought was crazy and wild and you can't do that and that's wild and you can't do that and that's wild and you can't do that and that's too off-the-wall. People aren't going to too off-the-wall. People aren't going to too off-the-wall. People aren't going to want that. People aren't going to like want that. People aren't going to like want that. People aren't going to like that. And it's the companies that went that. And it's the companies that went that. And it's the companies that went against the grain and they did things against the grain and they did things against the grain and they did things very, very differently and they were very, very differently and they were very, very differently and they were extremely innovative are the visionary extremely innovative are the visionary extremely innovative are the visionary companies that have persevered past companies that have persevered past companies that have persevered past their original founder. you know, their original founder. you know, their original founder. you know, they've they've persevered, you know, 50 they've they've persevered, you know, 50 they've they've persevered, you know, 50 years, 100 years or longer. years, 100 years or longer. years, 100 years or longer. And so what we want to showcase here in And so what we want to showcase here in And so what we want to showcase here in this podcast this podcast this podcast is is is is is is really what creates a level of personal really what creates a level of personal really what creates a level of personal and professional and professional and professional success and is that success and is that success and is that through critical thinking, creativity, through critical thinking, creativity, through critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and how are we potentially innovation, and how are we potentially innovation, and how are we potentially being held back by the things that we're being held back by the things that we're being held back by the things that we're being programmed with through more being programmed with through more being programmed with through more conventional models. I'm going to try to not get too deep I'm going to try to not get too deep I'm going to try to not get too deep with this conversation. Oh gosh, that's with this conversation. Oh gosh, that's with this conversation. Oh gosh, that's a usually it's going to get weird if if a usually it's going to get weird if if a usually it's going to get weird if if that's what you're prefacing with. that's what you're prefacing with. that's what you're prefacing with. You're you're stating all of this and You're you're stating all of this and You're you're stating all of this and you know my my brain always goes you know my my brain always goes you know my my brain always goes to why to why to why and you know the foundation like Why do and you know the foundation like Why do and you know the foundation like Why do we go to school? Well, the the thought we go to school? Well, the the thought we go to school? Well, the the thought process is, well, you go to school so process is, well, you go to school so process is, well, you go to school so you can live a better life because you can live a better life because you can live a better life because people that aren't educated, you know, people that aren't educated, you know, people that aren't educated, you know, they can only go so far in life and they can only go so far in life and they can only go so far in life and they're not able to live a good life they're not able to live a good life they're not able to live a good life versus somebody that's educated. versus somebody that's educated. versus somebody that's educated. But that's fair program. But that's fair program. But that's fair program. Yep. Yep. Yep. The true but it's fair. But it but it's The true but it's fair. But it but it's The true but it's fair. But it but it's fair. But education can come in many fair. But education can come in many fair. But education can come in many different forms as we're starting to different forms as we're starting to different forms as we're starting to see. You know, we we used to be all all see. You know, we we used to be all all see. You know, we we used to be all all sheep. Uh and now some people are sheep. Uh and now some people are sheep. Uh and now some people are leaving the farm and making their own leaving the farm and making their own leaving the farm and making their own decisions on life. But but I mean even decisions on life. But but I mean even decisions on life. But but I mean even without the homeschooling like what you without the homeschooling like what you without the homeschooling like what you talked about, you know, this talked about, you know, this talked about, you know, this morning I saw this post from a guy that morning I saw this post from a guy that morning I saw this post from a guy that he was being interviewed and she's like, he was being interviewed and she's like, he was being interviewed and she's like, "This sounds weird, but were you "This sounds weird, but were you "This sounds weird, but were you homeschooled?" Cuz he was being homeschooled?" Cuz he was being homeschooled?" Cuz he was being interviewed and it had like nothing. He interviewed and it had like nothing. He interviewed and it had like nothing. He goes, "Yeah, of course I was." Um, and goes, "Yeah, of course I was." Um, and goes, "Yeah, of course I was." Um, and he goes, "I woke up whenever I woke up. he goes, "I woke up whenever I woke up. he goes, "I woke up whenever I woke up. You know, it was typically around You know, it was typically around You know, it was typically around probably 8:30 and I had breakfast. I probably 8:30 and I had breakfast. I probably 8:30 and I had breakfast. I spent I got everything I needed to get spent I got everything I needed to get spent I got everything I needed to get done in school in 2 hours." He goes, done in school in 2 hours." He goes, done in school in 2 hours." He goes, "And then I had the rest of the day." "And then I had the rest of the day." "And then I had the rest of the day." And he goes, "I was a bad kid. I stole And he goes, "I was a bad kid. I stole And he goes, "I was a bad kid. I stole tires. Like, I did things. Like, I tires. Like, I did things. Like, I tires. Like, I did things. Like, I pushed boundaries. And that all of that pushed boundaries. And that all of that pushed boundaries. And that all of that led me to now I think he has like 30 led me to now I think he has like 30 led me to now I think he has like 30 different businesses. Um which isn't different businesses. Um which isn't different businesses. Um which isn't what I want to do but it was like it was what I want to do but it was like it was what I want to do but it was like it was it showed for him it was like perfect. it showed for him it was like perfect. it showed for him it was like perfect. It allowed him to become to understand It allowed him to become to understand It allowed him to become to understand how much he could achieve in such a how much he could achieve in such a how much he could achieve in such a little amount of time. He goes I started little amount of time. He goes I started little amount of time. He goes I started college when I was 15. college when I was 15. college when I was 15. And it he goes like why wouldn't I? He's And it he goes like why wouldn't I? He's And it he goes like why wouldn't I? He's like I already knew everything. and he like I already knew everything. and he like I already knew everything. and he knew everything by roughly 2 hours a knew everything by roughly 2 hours a knew everything by roughly 2 hours a day. And then you're like, well, why do day. And then you're like, well, why do day. And then you're like, well, why do they have school from 8 to 3, 8 to 4? they have school from 8 to 3, 8 to 4? they have school from 8 to 3, 8 to 4? Then you look at, oh, it's all just Then you look at, oh, it's all just Then you look at, oh, it's all just programming for the industrial age. Yes, programming for the industrial age. Yes, programming for the industrial age. Yes, we're moving out of the industrial age. we're moving out of the industrial age. we're moving out of the industrial age. But then you look at, you know, going But then you look at, you know, going But then you look at, you know, going deep like, well, who was the industrial deep like, well, who was the industrial deep like, well, who was the industrial age created by? Who funded the schools? age created by? Who funded the schools? age created by? Who funded the schools? Do your own research. All connected. Um, Do your own research. All connected. Um, Do your own research. All connected. Um, yeah. So, it's a lot of yeah. So, it's a lot of yeah. So, it's a lot of you look, start asking better quality you look, start asking better quality you look, start asking better quality questions and you'll have a better questions and you'll have a better questions and you'll have a better quality life. I'm not going to get into quality life. I'm not going to get into quality life. I'm not going to get into all the deep aspects of it. Do your own all the deep aspects of it. Do your own all the deep aspects of it. Do your own research, come up to your own research, come up to your own research, come up to your own conclusions, but for me it's like, okay, conclusions, but for me it's like, okay, conclusions, but for me it's like, okay, well, if the why is to have a good life, well, if the why is to have a good life, well, if the why is to have a good life, to have a good life is to to have a good life is to to have a good life is to live. And that's not associated with live. And that's not associated with live. And that's not associated with education, that's not associated with education, that's not associated with education, that's not associated with working. It can be, but it's not working. It can be, but it's not working. It can be, but it's not necessary. necessary. necessary. So for each individual, it's how can I So for each individual, it's how can I So for each individual, it's how can I live my best life? And that's a really live my best life? And that's a really live my best life? And that's a really great great great question to start getting clear on. question to start getting clear on. question to start getting clear on. Well, you made me think about Well, you made me think about Well, you made me think about this this aspect of this topic of this this aspect of this topic of this this aspect of this topic of mastery. And again, a program that we've mastery. And again, a program that we've mastery. And again, a program that we've been fed is if you go to really good been fed is if you go to really good been fed is if you go to really good schools, then you can become a master of schools, then you can become a master of schools, then you can become a master of X. And you know, we could say you'll X. And you know, we could say you'll X. And you know, we could say you'll become a master of become a master of become a master of whatever you major in. whatever you major in. whatever you major in. And what's kind of interesting in school And what's kind of interesting in school And what's kind of interesting in school is is is that you're really forced to learn a that you're really forced to learn a that you're really forced to learn a diversity of things, which obviously can diversity of things, which obviously can diversity of things, which obviously can have its benefits. But when you get have its benefits. But when you get have its benefits. But when you get into masters talking about into masters talking about into masters talking about mastery, you know, they essentially talk mastery, you know, they essentially talk mastery, you know, they essentially talk about, and maybe you know the exact about, and maybe you know the exact about, and maybe you know the exact phrase, but you know, if you if you're phrase, but you know, if you if you're phrase, but you know, if you if you're spread too thin, you're really a master spread too thin, you're really a master spread too thin, you're really a master of nothing. Or you can put your focus of nothing. Or you can put your focus of nothing. Or you can put your focus into something that really lights you into something that really lights you into something that really lights you up, inspires you, and you can become a up, inspires you, and you can become a up, inspires you, and you can become a master. by really honing in on that master. by really honing in on that master. by really honing in on that specific thing. specific thing. specific thing. I'm going to agree and disagree. I'm going to agree and disagree. I'm going to agree and disagree. Okay, Okay, Okay, just the just the just the way people might interpret that is that way people might interpret that is that way people might interpret that is that to only focus on one thing allows you to to only focus on one thing allows you to to only focus on one thing allows you to become a master, which isn't true. You become a master, which isn't true. You become a master, which isn't true. You know, that's like us know, that's like us know, that's like us that's what we that's what we initially that's what we that's what we initially that's what we that's what we initially thought. Um, you know, we wanted to help thought. Um, you know, we wanted to help thought. Um, you know, we wanted to help people become healthier, live better people become healthier, live better people become healthier, live better lives, and we became chiropractors for lives, and we became chiropractors for lives, and we became chiropractors for that reason. And then we saw that that reason. And then we saw that that reason. And then we saw that chiropractic was great, but it had chiropractic was great, but it had chiropractic was great, but it had limitations. Mhm. And we kept asking limitations. Mhm. And we kept asking limitations. Mhm. And we kept asking better quality questions, learned better quality questions, learned better quality questions, learned different aspects from psychology, different aspects from psychology, different aspects from psychology, energetics, etc. energetics, etc. energetics, etc. But the master is actually the one that But the master is actually the one that But the master is actually the one that has that focused attention on one thing, has that focused attention on one thing, has that focused attention on one thing, but then learns how to connect but then learns how to connect but then learns how to connect everything to that one thing. And that's everything to that one thing. And that's everything to that one thing. And that's why I think like homeschooling and these why I think like homeschooling and these why I think like homeschooling and these quote unquote newer age um schooling quote unquote newer age um schooling quote unquote newer age um schooling systems, that's what they're doing. It's systems, that's what they're doing. It's systems, that's what they're doing. It's like they're figuring out what lights a like they're figuring out what lights a like they're figuring out what lights a child up and then they're connecting how child up and then they're connecting how child up and then they're connecting how can we teach mathematics to this? How can we teach mathematics to this? How can we teach mathematics to this? How can we teach science to this? How can we can we teach science to this? How can we can we teach science to this? How can we teach how nature works to this? How can teach how nature works to this? How can teach how nature works to this? How can we teach how sports are aligned to this? we teach how sports are aligned to this? we teach how sports are aligned to this? And and that's how somebody becomes a And and that's how somebody becomes a And and that's how somebody becomes a master because they're maximizing their master because they're maximizing their master because they're maximizing their zone of genius. zone of genius. zone of genius. Well, I think you're you just nailed it Well, I think you're you just nailed it Well, I think you're you just nailed it because kind of the the point that I was because kind of the the point that I was because kind of the the point that I was wanted to make is is that what happened wanted to make is is that what happened wanted to make is is that what happened for us and many others is you go to for us and many others is you go to for us and many others is you go to school, you go through the conventional school, you go through the conventional school, you go through the conventional training and then we got out and that's training and then we got out and that's training and then we got out and that's actually when our most actually when our most actually when our most inspired and most inspired and most inspired and most revolutionary learning happened because revolutionary learning happened because revolutionary learning happened because we were taking we were we were honing in we were taking we were we were honing in we were taking we were we were honing in and becoming masters of what we needed and becoming masters of what we needed and becoming masters of what we needed to learn in order to best help people in to learn in order to best help people in to learn in order to best help people in in the profession and the vocation that in the profession and the vocation that in the profession and the vocation that we were we were we were in. But part of that it wasn't just in. But part of that it wasn't just in. But part of that it wasn't just about reading and listening. We it was about reading and listening. We it was about reading and listening. We it was experienced driven as well. And you know experienced driven as well. And you know experienced driven as well. And you know one of the things that Julia Caesar said one of the things that Julia Caesar said one of the things that Julia Caesar said is experience is the best teacher. And is experience is the best teacher. And is experience is the best teacher. And unfortunately, what type of experiences unfortunately, what type of experiences unfortunately, what type of experiences are happening in school settings are happening in school settings are happening in school settings nowadays? Oh, a a class trip once a nowadays? Oh, a a class trip once a nowadays? Oh, a a class trip once a year. And so that's what happens with a year. And so that's what happens with a year. And so that's what happens with a lot of homeschooling or these other lot of homeschooling or these other lot of homeschooling or these other unconventional models is that yes, unconventional models is that yes, unconventional models is that yes, they're doing, you know, some reading they're doing, you know, some reading they're doing, you know, some reading and and they're doing they're taking in and and they're doing they're taking in and and they're doing they're taking in information from from that perspective information from from that perspective information from from that perspective or from auditory perspective, but it's a or from auditory perspective, but it's a or from auditory perspective, but it's a lot of hands-on kesthetic as well as lot of hands-on kesthetic as well as lot of hands-on kesthetic as well as experience driven, which is a a huge experience driven, which is a a huge experience driven, which is a a huge factor in really becoming a master. And factor in really becoming a master. And factor in really becoming a master. And exactly what you said is like if someone exactly what you said is like if someone exactly what you said is like if someone can drive with the thing that gets them can drive with the thing that gets them can drive with the thing that gets them really excited like they have the really excited like they have the really excited like they have the freedom to say I get really excited freedom to say I get really excited freedom to say I get really excited about mechanics of cars and essentially about mechanics of cars and essentially about mechanics of cars and essentially that's going to be that's going to be that's going to be engineering. And then they're able to engineering. And then they're able to engineering. And then they're able to connect all these other topics and connect all these other topics and connect all these other topics and subjects back to the thing that they're subjects back to the thing that they're subjects back to the thing that they're most passionate about. That's when they most passionate about. That's when they most passionate about. That's when they have more of diversity in their learning have more of diversity in their learning have more of diversity in their learning and and and understanding. But it's like when you're understanding. But it's like when you're understanding. But it's like when you're siloing out all the siloing out all the siloing out all the subjects and it's like I kind of subjects and it's like I kind of subjects and it's like I kind of understand this, I kind of understand understand this, I kind of understand understand this, I kind of understand this. I kind of understand this. It's this. I kind of understand this. It's this. I kind of understand this. It's like nobody knows how to use it. It like nobody knows how to use it. It like nobody knows how to use it. It becomes essentially worthless becomes essentially worthless becomes essentially worthless information. information. information. Yeah. And I think Yeah. And I think Yeah. And I think um not to like deer, but it's also um not to like deer, but it's also um not to like deer, but it's also people don't have a good strong foundation with the have a good strong foundation with the have a good strong foundation with the future. You know, they keep they just future. You know, they keep they just future. You know, they keep they just they're in line and they just do what they're in line and they just do what they're in line and they just do what everybody else does. And you know, now everybody else does. And you know, now everybody else does. And you know, now more than ever, it's like, like I said, more than ever, it's like, like I said, more than ever, it's like, like I said, we're transitioning now this industrial we're transitioning now this industrial we're transitioning now this industrial age and into the information age. And age and into the information age. And age and into the information age. And that information age is changing how that information age is changing how that information age is changing how everybody's going to be living, how everybody's going to be living, how everybody's going to be living, how everybody's going to be working. everybody's going to be working. everybody's going to be working. And I'll get deep on that in another And I'll get deep on that in another And I'll get deep on that in another podcast, but you school, you have to podcast, but you school, you have to podcast, but you school, you have to like you have to figure out what's going like you have to figure out what's going like you have to figure out what's going to be most important to you, how you to be most important to you, how you to be most important to you, how you want to live your life. And you could want to live your life. And you could want to live your life. And you could say, "Oh, you don't know that when say, "Oh, you don't know that when say, "Oh, you don't know that when you're at a young age." Well, I just you're at a young age." Well, I just you're at a young age." Well, I just call [  ] You just you haven't had call [  ] You just you haven't had call [  ] You just you haven't had enough experiences at a young age based enough experiences at a young age based enough experiences at a young age based on how you lived your life at a young on how you lived your life at a young on how you lived your life at a young age. These are no experiences if all you age. These are no experiences if all you age. These are no experiences if all you do is sit in a in a desk most of your do is sit in a in a desk most of your do is sit in a in a desk most of your day. So, you don't know how you want to day. So, you don't know how you want to day. So, you don't know how you want to live because there's no experiences, live because there's no experiences, live because there's no experiences, which is why people don't really start which is why people don't really start which is why people don't really start to know themselves till they're later. to know themselves till they're later. to know themselves till they're later. But you have these people that study two But you have these people that study two But you have these people that study two hours a day and then the rest of the day hours a day and then the rest of the day hours a day and then the rest of the day at a young age they're learning at a young age they're learning at a young age they're learning themselves. They're learning to break themselves. They're learning to break themselves. They're learning to break rules. They're learning to push rules. They're learning to push rules. They're learning to push boundaries. They're doing these things. boundaries. They're doing these things. boundaries. They're doing these things. They're getting feedback mechanisms. They're getting feedback mechanisms. They're getting feedback mechanisms. They may be getting in trouble, which is They may be getting in trouble, which is They may be getting in trouble, which is all part of figuring out who you are, all part of figuring out who you are, all part of figuring out who you are, what's important to yourself. And then what's important to yourself. And then what's important to yourself. And then from that, you know, going back to this from that, you know, going back to this from that, you know, going back to this gentleman, he could have not went to gentleman, he could have not went to gentleman, he could have not went to school college when he was 15 or he school college when he was 15 or he school college when he was 15 or he could have done something else. And it's could have done something else. And it's could have done something else. And it's just you have to figure out what's just you have to figure out what's just you have to figure out what's actually in alignment with you. Is it actually in alignment with you. Is it actually in alignment with you. Is it school? And is it school? Like for us, school? And is it school? Like for us, school? And is it school? Like for us, we had to do that to be able to practice we had to do that to be able to practice we had to do that to be able to practice chiropractic. Yeah. Okay. That's an chiropractic. Yeah. Okay. That's an chiropractic. Yeah. Okay. That's an alignment. Somebody else is. I don't alignment. Somebody else is. I don't alignment. Somebody else is. I don't really want to be school, but for what I really want to be school, but for what I really want to be school, but for what I want to do, I need to grow this network. want to do, I need to grow this network. want to do, I need to grow this network. So, it's going to be really important So, it's going to be really important So, it's going to be really important for me to go to an Ivy League so I can for me to go to an Ivy League so I can for me to go to an Ivy League so I can rub shoulders, arms, whatever, elbows. rub shoulders, arms, whatever, elbows. rub shoulders, arms, whatever, elbows. Hopefully, not other body parts. Maybe Hopefully, not other body parts. Maybe Hopefully, not other body parts. Maybe whatever you're whatever you're whatever you're into. Let's get weird. and uh and create into. Let's get weird. and uh and create into. Let's get weird. and uh and create that network. Um so that that's going to that network. Um so that that's going to that network. Um so that that's going to allow you to create whatever you want to allow you to create whatever you want to allow you to create whatever you want to create. And then other people it's like create. And then other people it's like create. And then other people it's like no, it's like I'm I'm going to code or no, it's like I'm I'm going to code or no, it's like I'm I'm going to code or I'm going to get into building robotics, I'm going to get into building robotics, I'm going to get into building robotics, whatever it is. Um you you just I'm I'm whatever it is. Um you you just I'm I'm whatever it is. Um you you just I'm I'm going to fish, you know, it's whatever going to fish, you know, it's whatever going to fish, you know, it's whatever lights you up. But I want to speak to lights you up. But I want to speak to lights you up. But I want to speak to what you just said about because you what you just said about because you what you just said about because you know I said it as well when you know know I said it as well when you know know I said it as well when you know when it comes to going to these when it comes to going to these when it comes to going to these prestigious schools part of it is the prestigious schools part of it is the prestigious schools part of it is the networking that you do and all of it's networking that you do and all of it's networking that you do and all of it's the networking let's be well yes but I the networking let's be well yes but I the networking let's be well yes but I want to I want to get really clear on a want to I want to get really clear on a want to I want to get really clear on a on a a specific point here on a a specific point here on a a specific point here because when it comes to what's going to because when it comes to what's going to because when it comes to what's going to allow you to have a great life and also allow you to have a great life and also allow you to have a great life and also attain some level of success in whatever attain some level of success in whatever attain some level of success in whatever version that is for you. If that's version that is for you. If that's version that is for you. If that's money, if that's um connection, if that money, if that's um connection, if that money, if that's um connection, if that is freedom, whatever that is really the is freedom, whatever that is really the is freedom, whatever that is really the concept is being able to do whatever you concept is being able to do whatever you concept is being able to do whatever you want to do when you want to do it with want to do when you want to do it with want to do when you want to do it with whomever you want to do whomever you want to do whomever you want to do it. it. it. And connection and people are a part of And connection and people are a part of And connection and people are a part of that. But this isn't necessarily just that. But this isn't necessarily just that. But this isn't necessarily just about who you know and what connections about who you know and what connections about who you know and what connections that you have. This is about gaining a that you have. This is about gaining a that you have. This is about gaining a level of people skills that allows you level of people skills that allows you level of people skills that allows you to understand people, that allows you to to understand people, that allows you to to understand people, that allows you to connect with people, that allows you to connect with people, that allows you to connect with people, that allows you to create relationships that can serve you create relationships that can serve you create relationships that can serve you and your values. And I think that we and your values. And I think that we and your values. And I think that we have so much focus in our educational have so much focus in our educational have so much focus in our educational systems about intellect. You know how systems about intellect. You know how systems about intellect. You know how many kids are putting or or one they many kids are putting or or one they many kids are putting or or one they have their parents putting pressure on have their parents putting pressure on have their parents putting pressure on them, teachers putting pressure on them, them, teachers putting pressure on them, them, teachers putting pressure on them, and then they're putting pressure on and then they're putting pressure on and then they're putting pressure on themselves about being a good test themselves about being a good test themselves about being a good test taker. And how many people in our taker. And how many people in our taker. And how many people in our experience now that you've seen that experience now that you've seen that experience now that you've seen that were brilliant in school, this was were brilliant in school, this was were brilliant in school, this was undergrad, doctorate school, and they undergrad, doctorate school, and they undergrad, doctorate school, and they were so smart, validictorian, etc. And were so smart, validictorian, etc. And were so smart, validictorian, etc. And then they get out and they're struggling then they get out and they're struggling then they get out and they're struggling in their business. especially in their business. especially in their business. especially chiropractors. You could be so smart and chiropractors. You could be so smart and chiropractors. You could be so smart and you can understand the nervous system you can understand the nervous system you can understand the nervous system inside and out, but at the end of the inside and out, but at the end of the inside and out, but at the end of the day, you deal with people. If you don't day, you deal with people. If you don't day, you deal with people. If you don't know how to communicate with people, you know how to communicate with people, you know how to communicate with people, you don't know how to connect with people, don't know how to connect with people, don't know how to connect with people, you don't know how to nurture people, you don't know how to nurture people, you don't know how to nurture people, then you're not going to be successful then you're not going to be successful then you're not going to be successful and your job isn't going to feel that and your job isn't going to feel that and your job isn't going to feel that fulfilling. That's a level of mastery. fulfilling. That's a level of mastery. fulfilling. That's a level of mastery. And it's not just about intellect. And And it's not just about intellect. And And it's not just about intellect. And there are there's so there's so much there are there's so there's so much there are there's so there's so much happening in school systems that are happening in school systems that are happening in school systems that are actually ripping that away from us more actually ripping that away from us more actually ripping that away from us more than well not giving it to us but even than well not giving it to us but even than well not giving it to us but even depleting the skills that we have. Don't depleting the skills that we have. Don't depleting the skills that we have. Don't do this, don't say that and you know do this, don't say that and you know do this, don't say that and you know taking away our our intuition and our taking away our our intuition and our taking away our our intuition and our intuitive way of connecting with others. intuitive way of connecting with others. intuitive way of connecting with others. And so I think this is a really really And so I think this is a really really And so I think this is a really really important thing for people to understand important thing for people to understand important thing for people to understand is is is that you know you most and I you can I that you know you most and I you can I that you know you most and I you can I know you're going to probably say know you're going to probably say know you're going to probably say something about like AI is taking over something about like AI is taking over something about like AI is taking over and whatever and yeah whatever that's and whatever and yeah whatever that's and whatever and yeah whatever that's fine but if you want to be a human and fine but if you want to be a human and fine but if you want to be a human and have an enriched have an enriched have an enriched life community is part of that. having life community is part of that. having life community is part of that. having friends, having a relationship, you friends, having a relationship, you friends, having a relationship, you know, a romantic relationship, having know, a romantic relationship, having know, a romantic relationship, having kids that actually like you. Like no kids that actually like you. Like no kids that actually like you. Like no matter what, there is human interaction matter what, there is human interaction matter what, there is human interaction that is part of an enriched life that is part of an enriched life that is part of an enriched life experience. Yes, 100%. I just like I'm not going to Yes, 100%. I just like I'm not going to Yes, 100%. I just like I'm not going to go to AI yet. go to AI yet. go to AI yet. Maybe watch out for our next podcast. It Maybe watch out for our next podcast. It Maybe watch out for our next podcast. It will probably be on AI. will probably be on AI. will probably be on AI. Um yeah uh 100%. And I think you know as Um yeah uh 100%. And I think you know as Um yeah uh 100%. And I think you know as just speaking to parents out just speaking to parents out just speaking to parents out there when I when I talked about having there when I when I talked about having there when I when I talked about having that clarity on on the future on the that clarity on on the future on the that clarity on on the future on the vision it it's figuring out what's vision it it's figuring out what's vision it it's figuring out what's figuring out and allowing the kid to figuring out and allowing the kid to figuring out and allowing the kid to have the experiences so that they can have the experiences so that they can have the experiences so that they can figure out who they are because a lot of figure out who they are because a lot of figure out who they are because a lot of adults haven't even done that. You know, adults haven't even done that. You know, adults haven't even done that. You know, we've been forced into the system of we've been forced into the system of we've been forced into the system of grind for so long and that we have these grind for so long and that we have these grind for so long and that we have these struggles and it's because you don't struggles and it's because you don't struggles and it's because you don't know who the [  ] you are and there's no know who the [  ] you are and there's no know who the [  ] you are and there's no stability in that and then everything's stability in that and then everything's stability in that and then everything's chaos around there. Of course, it is. It chaos around there. Of course, it is. It chaos around there. Of course, it is. It has to be. It's the feedback mechanism. has to be. It's the feedback mechanism. has to be. It's the feedback mechanism. So yeah, we can a work on ourselves, but So yeah, we can a work on ourselves, but So yeah, we can a work on ourselves, but we also have to give a different we also have to give a different we also have to give a different opportunity for our kids because they're opportunity for our kids because they're opportunity for our kids because they're the next generation coming up. And if we the next generation coming up. And if we the next generation coming up. And if we just do things the same way, it's going just do things the same way, it's going just do things the same way, it's going to [  ] in, [  ] out. You know, we we to [  ] in, [  ] out. You know, we we to [  ] in, [  ] out. You know, we we have to change the system, the process have to change the system, the process have to change the system, the process if we want a better quality of life if we want a better quality of life if we want a better quality of life where we're at right now. And that's the where we're at right now. And that's the where we're at right now. And that's the goal. goal. goal. I'm like I'm laughing because I'm I'm like I'm laughing because I'm I'm like I'm laughing because I'm thinking about because you always talk thinking about because you always talk thinking about because you always talk about how you know the the energy is about how you know the the energy is about how you know the the energy is always in balance and when you think always in balance and when you think always in balance and when you think about our that's why I was a shitty about our that's why I was a shitty about our that's why I was a shitty student so I could be a great doctor. It's uh it what did you always say? C is It's uh it what did you always say? C is It's uh it what did you always say? C is for chiropractic. Yep. for chiropractic. Yep. for chiropractic. Yep. And sometimes D is and sometimes D is And sometimes D is and sometimes D is And sometimes D is and sometimes D is for a degree, you know, for a degree, you know, for a degree, you know, but really at the end of the day, the but really at the end of the day, the but really at the end of the day, the some of the best and most successful some of the best and most successful some of the best and most successful chiropractors that we know and when I chiropractors that we know and when I chiropractors that we know and when I say successful, yes, a certain level of say successful, yes, a certain level of say successful, yes, a certain level of success in in the the wealth, but success in in the the wealth, but success in in the the wealth, but success in the legacy that they're success in the legacy that they're success in the legacy that they're leaving in the profession. They were not leaving in the profession. They were not leaving in the profession. They were not the best students because it wasn't just the best students because it wasn't just the best students because it wasn't just about that. There was so much more that about that. There was so much more that about that. There was so much more that made you a good practitioner. But the made you a good practitioner. But the made you a good practitioner. But the the point that I was that I want to make the point that I was that I want to make the point that I was that I want to make is we're millennials. We're like old is we're millennials. We're like old is we're millennials. We're like old millennials and then most of our parents millennials and then most of our parents millennials and then most of our parents are are are are are are boomers. And I think that there the boomers. And I think that there the boomers. And I think that there the older millennials at least there's older millennials at least there's older millennials at least there's definitely some overlap with that that definitely some overlap with that that definitely some overlap with that that hustle and work hard, go to school, get hustle and work hard, go to school, get hustle and work hard, go to school, get the job. You know, we didn't take even a the job. You know, we didn't take even a the job. You know, we didn't take even a minute off after school. We dove right minute off after school. We dove right minute off after school. We dove right into working and then we went from one into working and then we went from one into working and then we went from one year of working for someone else into year of working for someone else into year of working for someone else into entrepreneurship and that was pretty entrepreneurship and that was pretty entrepreneurship and that was pretty normal for our age group which is you normal for our age group which is you normal for our age group which is you know 40s and then our parents a lot of know 40s and then our parents a lot of know 40s and then our parents a lot of them you know the nineto-ive jobs that them you know the nineto-ive jobs that them you know the nineto-ive jobs that industrial age that you were talking industrial age that you were talking industrial age that you were talking about and now there's so much judgment about and now there's so much judgment about and now there's so much judgment on the on the on the genzers who are like I'm going to have a genzers who are like I'm going to have a genzers who are like I'm going to have a YouTube channel and I'm never going to YouTube channel and I'm never going to YouTube channel and I'm never going to leave my house and I'm going to make leave my house and I'm going to make leave my house and I'm going to make multi-millions And that is a reality for multi-millions And that is a reality for multi-millions And that is a reality for a lot of them. And you know, it was very a lot of them. And you know, it was very a lot of them. And you know, it was very comical because when we had our our uh comical because when we had our our uh comical because when we had our our uh brick-andmortar business and we had a brick-andmortar business and we had a brick-andmortar business and we had a lot of employees, we had all different lot of employees, we had all different lot of employees, we had all different age groups. And you know, the mentality age groups. And you know, the mentality age groups. And you know, the mentality of a genzer at times was kind of funny, of a genzer at times was kind of funny, of a genzer at times was kind of funny, but at the same time, I always tried to but at the same time, I always tried to but at the same time, I always tried to zoom out. And you know, I I came from zoom out. And you know, I I came from zoom out. And you know, I I came from that work so hard and blood, sweat, and that work so hard and blood, sweat, and that work so hard and blood, sweat, and tears and hustle and and even and just tears and hustle and and even and just tears and hustle and and even and just do that because that's in your do that because that's in your do that because that's in your character. Not necessarily because one character. Not necessarily because one character. Not necessarily because one day it's going to make you super rich. day it's going to make you super rich. day it's going to make you super rich. It doesn't actually make you rich. It's It doesn't actually make you rich. It's It doesn't actually make you rich. It's just like just do that because that's just like just do that because that's just like just do that because that's the right thing to do and that's the way the right thing to do and that's the way the right thing to do and that's the way it should be. And that was very much it should be. And that was very much it should be. And that was very much instilled from my immigrant parents as instilled from my immigrant parents as instilled from my immigrant parents as well. And you know, and then the Jenzer, well. And you know, and then the Jenzer, well. And you know, and then the Jenzer, what was the best one we heard? My what was the best one we heard? My what was the best one we heard? My schedule doesn't match my circadium schedule doesn't match my circadium schedule doesn't match my circadium rhythms. rhythms. rhythms. Like you hear this [  ] and it was just Like you hear this [  ] and it was just Like you hear this [  ] and it was just like that was fantastic. But the thing like that was fantastic. But the thing like that was fantastic. But the thing that I want to say about the Jenzers is that I want to say about the Jenzers is that I want to say about the Jenzers is that they watched us. They watched the that they watched us. They watched the that they watched us. They watched the millennials. They watched the boomers. millennials. They watched the boomers. millennials. They watched the boomers. They watched as they hustled and worked They watched as they hustled and worked They watched as they hustled and worked hard and were still not happy. They were hard and were still not happy. They were hard and were still not happy. They were still, you know, and were still not still, you know, and were still not still, you know, and were still not ahead. Most people still not ahead. And ahead. Most people still not ahead. And ahead. Most people still not ahead. And they essentially, consciously or they essentially, consciously or they essentially, consciously or unconsciously were like, "Fuck that." unconsciously were like, "Fuck that." unconsciously were like, "Fuck that." Like, "I don't want to do that. I don't Like, "I don't want to do that. I don't Like, "I don't want to do that. I don't want to work a 9 to5. I don't want to be want to work a 9 to5.

But the bad part about this is that it's it's like you said, I always that it's it's like you said, I always that it's it's like you said, I always talk about the balance. It's going from talk about the balance. It's going from talk about the balance. It's going from one extreme to the other extreme. And one extreme to the other extreme. And one extreme to the other extreme. And you know, hopefully there's young people you know, hopefully there's young people you know, hopefully there's young people listening to this. I think the majority listening to this. I think the majority listening to this. I think the majority of people listen to us is this a little of people listen to us is this a little of people listen to us is this a little older than that. But they need guidance. older than that. But they need guidance. older than that. But they need guidance. So share it. Share it with your Jedi. So share it. Share it with your Jedi. So share it. Share it with your Jedi. They need guidance because yeah, it you They need guidance because yeah, it you They need guidance because yeah, it you can definitely set your life up with can definitely set your life up with can definitely set your life up with working two hours a day and that's all working two hours a day and that's all working two hours a day and that's all you need to do. All you need to do is go you need to do. All you need to do is go you need to do. All you need to do is go to school 2 hours a day to be that to school 2 hours a day to be that to school 2 hours a day to be that productive. All you really need to do is productive.

But I think reality for most people. But I think reality for most people. But I think that a key factor that is really one of that a key factor that is really one of that a key factor that is really one of the the drivers of why we want to do the the drivers of why we want to do the the drivers of why we want to do this podcast in the first place is some this podcast in the first place is some this podcast in the first place is some of these Jenzers, like one, and if of these Jenzers, like one, and if of these Jenzers, like one, and if you're judging them, take a step back you're judging them, take a step back you're judging them, take a step back and and and see what you can learn from and and and see what you can learn from and and and see what you can learn from them. Because one thing that stands out them. Because one thing that stands out them. Because one thing that stands out to me specifically is most of them are to me specifically is most of them are to me specifically is most of them are becoming some type of becoming some type of becoming some type of entrepreneur very early because there is entrepreneur very early because there is entrepreneur very early because there is accessibility when it comes to social accessibility when it comes to social accessibility when it comes to social media, making money on Tik Tok, making media, making money on Tik Tok, making media, making money on Tik Tok, making money on YouTube.

And essentially the theme was I had to And essentially the theme was I had to And essentially the theme was I had to unlearn so unlearn so unlearn so much and then learn much and then learn much and then learn more and more and more and reclaim my critical thinking, reclaim my reclaim my critical thinking, reclaim my reclaim my critical thinking, reclaim my common common common sense to become a master. And and so what we're trying to master. And and so what we're trying to master. And and so what we're trying to say here today because we are parents, say here today because we are parents, say here today because we are parents, you can see I'm wearing black. You can't you can see I'm wearing black. You can't you can see I'm wearing black. You can't really tell one on the way. And you know really tell one on the way. And you know really tell one on the way. And you know what kind of what our experience was was what kind of what our experience was was what kind of what our experience was was the same is we had to unlearn to then the same is we had to unlearn to then the same is we had to unlearn to then learn and and it was also a bit of an learn and and it was also a bit of an learn and and it was also a bit of an emotional mind [  ] journey to regain emotional mind [  ] journey to regain emotional mind [ __ ] journey to regain common sense critical thinking common sense critical thinking common sense critical thinking innovative thinking. And you know we innovative thinking. And you know we innovative thinking. And you know we look at that as we don't want our kids look at that as we don't want our kids look at that as we don't want our kids to go through that. to go through that. to go through that. We want them to be able We want them to be able We want them to be able to to to to maintain to to to to maintain to to to to maintain that, still gain intellect, that, still gain intellect, that, still gain intellect, but also bring uniqueness, innovation, but also bring uniqueness, innovation, but also bring uniqueness, innovation, creativity to everything they creativity to everything they creativity to everything they do. So Sam, we're going to wrap this up do. So Sam, we're going to wrap this up do. So Sam, we're going to wrap this up so we can talk about AI next. so we can talk about AI next. so we can talk about AI next. I'm so I'm so I'm so excited. But before you do anything, ask excited. But before you do anything, ask excited. But before you do anything, ask questions. You know, the quality of life questions. You know, the quality of life questions. You know, the quality of life is dictated by the quality of the is dictated by the quality of the is dictated by the quality of the questions you ask. And foundationally, questions you ask. And foundationally, questions you ask. And foundationally, just start ask just start ask just start ask why? Why? Why do people go to why? Why? Why do people go to why? Why? Why do people go to school? Why is this is this going to school? Why is this is this going to school? Why is this is this going to lead to a better life? Is there a better lead to a better life? Is there a better lead to a better life? Is there a better way? If I knew a better way, what would way? If I knew a better way, what would way? If I knew a better way, what would it look like? If if I tried this, what it look like? If if I tried this, what it look like? If if I tried this, what would be some pros and what would be would be some pros and what would be would be some pros and what would be some cons? you know, start studying some cons? you know, start studying some cons? you know, start studying other people like look at look at life other people like look at look at life other people like look at look at life through a different lens. And you know, through a different lens. And you know, through a different lens. And you know, when we talk about when we talk about when we talk about unlearning, unlearning, unlearning, the the biggest thing about unlearning the the biggest thing about unlearning the the biggest thing about unlearning is a transfer of focus and a transfer of is a transfer of focus and a transfer of is a transfer of focus and a transfer of attention, a transfer of energy. And attention, a transfer of energy. And attention, a transfer of energy. And when you can start asking questions that when you can start asking questions that when you can start asking questions that are going to transfer your attention and are going to transfer your attention and are going to transfer your attention and focus onto something else and then we focus onto something else and then we focus onto something else and then we can put more attention there and start can put more attention there and start can put more attention there and start asking questions along that highway. asking questions along that highway. asking questions along that highway. Well, guess what? We start unlearning Well, guess what? We start unlearning Well, guess what? We start unlearning this because it starts dying. It doesn't this because it starts dying. It doesn't this because it starts dying. It doesn't have the focus. It doesn't have the have the focus. It doesn't have the have the focus. It doesn't have the attention. It does it's not given the attention. It does it's not given the attention. It does it's not given the energy anymore, the fuel it needs to energy anymore, the fuel it needs to energy anymore, the fuel it needs to survive. So, it's like if we want to survive. So, it's like if we want to survive. So, it's like if we want to kill something, we don't need to protest kill something, we don't need to protest kill something, we don't need to protest that it's a bad thing, that it was evil, that it's a bad thing, that it was evil, that it's a bad thing, that it was evil, blah blah blah. It had its necessary blah blah blah. It had its necessary blah blah blah. It had its necessary means and it's our job to move on. I means and it's our job to move on. I means and it's our job to move on. I worked with the gentleman the other day worked with the gentleman the other day worked with the gentleman the other day and he was, you know, upset about and he was, you know, upset about and he was, you know, upset about Hollywood and all the things that are Hollywood and all the things that are Hollywood and all the things that are coming out and pedophilia and this and coming out and pedophilia and this and coming out and pedophilia and this and that. And I'm like, if if we fight it, that. And I'm like, if if we fight it, that. And I'm like, if if we fight it, guess what? We're putting energy into guess what? We're putting energy into guess what? We're putting energy into it. It served its purpose. There were it. It served its purpose. There were it. It served its purpose. There were pros and cons to Hollywood and pros and cons to Hollywood and pros and cons to Hollywood and everything else. And we do deep into it everything else. And we do deep into it everything else. And we do deep into it and realized he realized afterwards and realized he realized afterwards and realized he realized afterwards that for him he needs if he wants to be that for him he needs if he wants to be that for him he needs if he wants to be a part of a change the first thing he a part of a change the first thing he a part of a change the first thing he needs to change is him. And when he needs to change is him. And when he needs to change is him. And when he changes just like parents and kids it's changes just like parents and kids it's changes just like parents and kids it's the parents that need to change to be the parents that need to change to be the parents that need to change to be able to give that change to their kids. able to give that change to their kids. able to give that change to their kids. So he needed to change and stop giving So he needed to change and stop giving So he needed to change and stop giving attention stop fighting something attention stop fighting something attention stop fighting something because anytime that you fight you've because anytime that you fight you've because anytime that you fight you've already lost. already lost. already lost. Yeah. So the only time to win something Yeah. So the only time to win something Yeah. So the only time to win something is actually just to move on, to not give is actually just to move on, to not give is actually just to move on, to not give it attention, to let it die, and to fuel it attention, to let it die, and to fuel it attention, to let it die, and to fuel something else. And the goal is to fuel something else. And the goal is to fuel something else. And the goal is to fuel something that's actually going to serve something that's actually going to serve something that's actually going to serve you, to be inspiring. Fighting something you, to be inspiring. Fighting something you, to be inspiring. Fighting something isn't inspiring. The same amount of isn't inspiring. The same amount of isn't inspiring. The same amount of energy. If anything, it's it's more energy. If anything, it's it's more energy. If anything, it's it's more energy to fight it. And I I think that's energy to fight it. And I I think that's energy to fight it. And I I think that's an really important what you said is an really important what you said is an really important what you said is you're going to spend the energy no you're going to spend the energy no you're going to spend the energy no matter what. you might as well spend the matter what. you might as well spend the matter what. you might as well spend the energy on what you actually want to energy on what you actually want to energy on what you actually want to create opposed to fighting the thing create opposed to fighting the thing create opposed to fighting the thing that you don't like. Boom. Okay. One last point that I like. Boom. Okay. One last point that I like. Boom. Okay. One last point that I want to make because I feel like the want to make because I feel like the want to make because I feel like the elephant in the room is always if the elephant in the room is always if the elephant in the room is always if the myth um that needs to be busted. And myth um that needs to be busted. And myth um that needs to be busted. And when we're talking about this concept, when we're talking about this concept, when we're talking about this concept, some of you are probably really inspired some of you are probably really inspired some of you are probably really inspired right now but will not take action on right now but will not take action on right now but will not take action on this. And you might have kids that are this. And you might have kids that are this. And you might have kids that are in school and you're just like, "Oh, all in school and you're just like, "Oh, all in school and you're just like, "Oh, all of these points are so relevant." of these points are so relevant." of these points are so relevant." But, and you go to the scarcity mindset But, and you go to the scarcity mindset But, and you go to the scarcity mindset and especially the scarcity mindset is and especially the scarcity mindset is and especially the scarcity mindset is driven by the things that people are driven by the things that people are driven by the things that people are going to say to you. Well, you know going to say to you. Well, you know going to say to you. Well, you know what? what? what? you can't you can't take your kid out of you can't you can't take your kid out of you can't you can't take your kid out of school because then they're going to be school because then they're going to be school because then they're going to be weird and they're not going to have any weird and they're not going to have any weird and they're not going to have any friends and they're not going to be friends and they're not going to be friends and they're not going to be socialized and what if they're not in socialized and what if they're not in socialized and what if they're not in sports and you know and then the list sports and you know and then the list sports and you know and then the list goes on and really at the end of the day goes on and really at the end of the day goes on and really at the end of the day it goes back to the idea of tunnel it goes back to the idea of tunnel it goes back to the idea of tunnel vision that Dr. Nick talked about in our vision that Dr. Nick talked about in our vision that Dr. Nick talked about in our other podcast is what about all the other podcast is what about all the other podcast is what about all the things that you can't see? What about things that you can't see? What about things that you can't see? What about all of the other opportunities for your all of the other opportunities for your all of the other opportunities for your kid or kids to potentially build a kid or kids to potentially build a kid or kids to potentially build a network of people that are more aligned network of people that are more aligned network of people that are more aligned with them, more aligned with their with them, more aligned with their with them, more aligned with their values, more aligned with the things values, more aligned with the things values, more aligned with the things that they like to do opposed to the kids that they like to do opposed to the kids that they like to do opposed to the kids that they're stuck with in their that they're stuck with in their that they're stuck with in their traditional cool school system. So, it's traditional cool school system. So, it's traditional cool school system. So, it's not black and white that if your kid is not black and white that if your kid is not black and white that if your kid is homeschooled, they're, you know, going homeschooled, they're, you know, going homeschooled, they're, you know, going to be isolated and alone and they're to be isolated and alone and they're to be isolated and alone and they're going to be an introvert and a weirdo. going to be an introvert and a weirdo. going to be an introvert and a weirdo. That's that is just a that's a a lie That's that is just a that's a a lie That's that is just a that's a a lie that a lot of us have been told because that a lot of us have been told because that a lot of us have been told because there is so much more opportunity for there is so much more opportunity for there is so much more opportunity for them to be involved in experiential them to be involved in experiential them to be involved in experiential things that can allow them to build things that can allow them to build things that can allow them to build networks and friendships and connections networks and friendships and connections networks and friendships and connections with other people from other places from with other people from other places from with other people from other places from other walks of life. So don't don't when other walks of life. So don't don't when other walks of life. So don't don't when you when you get inspired by something you when you get inspired by something you when you get inspired by something if it's this podcast or if it's this podcast or if it's this podcast or anything it is natural for us to go into anything it is natural for us to go into anything it is natural for us to go into that that fear or that scarcity mindset that that fear or that scarcity mindset that that fear or that scarcity mindset the fear bring yourself out of it is the the fear bring yourself out of it is the the fear bring yourself out of it is the focus on the door closing because we're focus on the door closing because we're focus on the door closing because we're not aware of the doors that are opening not aware of the doors that are opening not aware of the doors that are opening and that's why I love the tools like and that's why I love the tools like and that's why I love the tools like meditation and different things that can meditation and different things that can meditation and different things that can quiet down and stop that left brain quiet down and stop that left brain quiet down and stop that left brain critical attachment and allow us to critical attachment and allow us to critical attachment and allow us to connect with our right brain which has connect with our right brain which has connect with our right brain which has awareness that we're not always awareness that we're not always awareness that we're not always conscious of. 100%. Love that. All conscious of. 100%. Love that. All conscious of. 100%. Love that. All right, guys. See you on the next one right, guys. See you on the next one right, guys. See you on the next one where we talk about AI. I'm already where we talk about AI. I'm already where we talk about AI. I'm already nervous.
