having that beginner mindset, especially at 45 years old, to do something I started learning,

you know, shooting guns and bow hunting and martial arts. Because where we got a lot of the

excitement, at least for me, is the most fun growing up is starting that new thing and seeing

like, I'm a complete beginner at this, but I'm okay with it. And this short-term discomfort of sucking, you know, whether it's going to hurt my ego or it's

uncomfortable in my body, I know that I'm going to get better at this. A single theme is too narrow for great minds and daring hearts.

Get ready to enter the Lionheart with your host, Lawrence Dunning.

Tom, it is so great to have you.

Your strength coach, physiotherapist, martial artist, father,

I know you've got so much wisdom and knowledge. Maybe if we could start with you giving a little

bit of your background, people that are listening just so they know how qualified you are.

And of course, anyone's watching can see all your diplomas behind you.

That's just a few of my, you know, I had all these up in my office when I had an office at our primary space.

And, you know, I've done over 100 certifications and courses over the years.

And they're like, wow, you've done a lot of, I'm like, I get really bored.

So I go learn more.

But my wife looks at those.

This is like, well, that's a trip. That's a watch.

You know, like, she looked at all the certifications and all the money I spent over the years,

hundreds of thousands of dollars. And she's like, I'm like, but I've invested in myself.

So like now, you know, if I invested in myself, then hopefully I can get paid more money later.

So this investment now is going to

pay tenfold later. I promise. She's still waiting for that, but it's slowly coming.
