We’re talking about how to create a culture for kids that’s all about developing a growth mindset, how I would suggest parents create a physical education curriculum for their kids, & why I don’t think it’s the job of the leader to push a kid to find their passion or purpose.

| 0:00.0 | So in society people all look at these people as like they're a loop and they're kind of like floating for space and they're entitled and no one has everyone trying to find their purpose and their passion. No one knows what that is. |
| 0:10.8 | Might so I'd be like 100% no do not help people try and find their passion. |
| 0:17.3 | Passion is not something you find it's you don't find up. You don't like flip over a rock. You're like there is my passion. Oh my God. Thank you Patrick so much. |
| 0:28.0 | Probably towards that. Yeah exactly amazing. Yeah. |
| 0:31.0 | It's developed through a lot of trial and error. So what you want to do is get people to try a bunch of different things and over as you said over time and exposures. That's where it comes. |
| 0:42.4 | So what you want to do is help people. |
| 0:45.4 | Leadership to me is getting people to where they could not go in their own. That's what we're trying to do. |
| 0:51.2 | We are here because we know the outcomes in our lives are within our control. |
| 0:55.7 | That taking absolute ownership of how we eat, sleep, train, think and connect with each other is how we'll optimize our health and happiness. |
| 1:04.0 | That chasing excellence is how we grab hold of what is possible. |
| 1:08.1 | Our mission is to live on the rock. Always chasing. Never stop. |
| 1:14.6 | Hello and welcome back to another episode of chasing excellence. I'm here as always with Ben. How are you sir? I'm doing good Patrick. Today we're going to take a couple of questions that folks sent me for two minutes drills, but I think that there's enough similarity and enough meat there to try to get a whole episode out of it. |
| 1:30.7 | And the subject or the folks of the of the episode is going to be folks are in a position to lead teenagers or kids in some way. |
| 1:41.3 | And and and your advice, your tips on how to do that effectively, how to be a leader to a pretty unique population. And we've talked a lot about we've talked about leadership in affiliates and in business and in other other areas, but I think that there's something unique about this age group that at least to me, I'm curious if you approach it any differently than you do. |
| 2:04.7 | I'm 27 year old coach over at the gym, whatever it might be. So I've got we're going to start off the episode. I've got two questions that I'm going to read off will do we'll take them one at a time. |
| 2:13.9 | But that those are the sparks for this conversation. We'll see we'll see where it goes from there. The first question from a listener is I'll be teaching a course next year to seventh graders called study skills and we'll be applying a lot of the same concepts you talk about on the podcast to this course. |
| 2:28.4 | This is a class they're forced to take. How do you write how do you create buy in and get them to want to chase excellence and achieve more for themselves if they aren't on board initially. |
| 2:42.7 | Good question. That's a long pause because I was sorry for right. Okay, so |
| 2:47.6 | Love for the first thing I came through my mind was like I love that this class exists. Right. Like teaching people how to learn I'm assuming that's what it is. It's like study skills. |
| 2:58.1 | That to me is one of the missing links I took a class when I was in middle school called study for success which sounds like very similar. But it was this kind of like throw away class. |
| 3:06.6 | It was really for the kids that like needed the help which I was one of. Everyone else didn't take it. I was like one of six kids that we're doing like. |
| 3:14.2 | But it's a class I remember like the most it's like that's what we should be teaching people is not how to memorize things because today's age like it's what a useless skill that is when I pull up my pocket and find every |
