Summary
We got hit with COVID after traveling to Mexico and got some major backlash from some people. While we believe our decisions were right, we wanted to use this example to explain why standing by your values and principles is so important. You will piss people off if you don't blend in. You need to stand for something if you want to be an attractive coach and to live a full life.

| 0:00.0 | What's up guys? Welcome back to the flow state of mind podcast. Aaron and I here to chat with you |
| 0:05.0 | guys a little bit about standing up for opinions and positions online. And we're going to start |
| 0:11.2 | by explaining as to why this is a thing. Well, yeah, let's back up a little bit, I guess. You sound |
| 0:17.8 | terrible. Your voice sounds really bad. Yeah, I guess that all ties together with why we're here. |
| 0:22.8 | So we have coronavirus and we started kind of talking about that. And as always, Jordan and I, you know, |
| 0:33.6 | we're extremely open, honest, transparent with pretty much everything that goes on in our |
| 0:38.1 | lives and our businesses. Because I've really valued other people who do that. And that's how I |
| 0:42.9 | learn best. And it's how I've gotten to trust people. And it's how I found a lot of my mentors because |
| 0:47.6 | I don't know. I think it's just how we operate as humans. We are attracted to an imperfect character |
| 0:53.4 | because none of us are perfect. |
| 0:54.8 | So if I'm taking you back, that's kind of how this started. Jordan and I, we took a trip to |
| 1:00.2 | Mexico and we offended some people in doing so in choosing to travel. And I think what feels right |
| 1:08.0 | for me diving in is kind of defending that position first. |
| 1:12.6 | For anyone who's listening who may immediately be like, oh my God, I can't believe you do such |
| 1:16.8 | a thing. Well, here is kind of our justification for it. We work from home. We chose at the |
| 1:23.5 | beginning of the pandemic to invest in a home gym and not go back to public gyms. |
| 1:29.2 | We don't go to the grocery store. |
| 1:31.5 | We feel for us that it feels the safest to not go places that people necessarily, that high |
| 1:38.4 | risk people necessarily have to go. |
| 1:41.1 | Now, we don't ever go anywhere that high riskrisk people have to go. So if we worked someplace |
| 1:47.1 | in health care, or we worked someplace where, you know, we had to be around people or, you know, |
| 1:51.8 | we had a grandparent or somebody who was in the high-risk category, we certainly wouldn't |
