Welcome everyone to this episode. Thank you so much for joining me today.

Very excited about today's episode because I've been on this book tour right.

I just finished a stop in Charlotte and I'm here all week for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US.

I'm here with my family so grateful that I'm with them because I don't get to spend that much time with my family.

And since I was 13 I left. I asked my parents to send me away to a private boarding school when I was 13 in Ohio and I moved to St. Louis, Missouri.

And so I've always been away from my family and the times when I do get to come back when it's a break, when it's a summer, when I was in school.

Christmas Thanksgiving. That's when I get to see my family because I've always been out chasing my dreams. I've been always been out on a quest.

I've had visions. I've been out on my quest. You know, I went to Alabama to play professional football. I traveled all over the world to play handball.

I moved to New York City because I had a dream. I moved to LA for another dream. And I've been away from my family because of that.

I go back and fly and meet them and I fly them out where I'm at. And I'm very grateful that I could spend time with them.

And the other night when I was doing a talk in Charlotte and I was so grateful that so many people came out to say hi and support me and drove from all over the place.

I realized that I had this opportunity to spend some quality time with my sister, Catherine.

And when I got up and spoke, I talked about how eight years ago she really was there for me when I was on her couch for a couple of years trying to figure it out.

And a lot of people said, you know, how did you get to where you are from being on the couch?

So this episode is talking about if you're on the couch, if you are in transition in your life, then how do you get to where I'm at?

Or how do you get to that next step? A lot of people ask me, and I tell them, you know, it's an eight year journey. And I'm going to get into this in a few seconds.

I'm going to dive into this ten ways to get off the couch in a few seconds.

Now, let's dive into this episode. Again, how do you get off the couch? I get asked that question always.
