Love gang, welcome to The Greatness Machine.

I'm your host Darius from Shazday.

I'm so pumped to have you here with me. Now listen, the greatness machine were about two things. Number one, people were living their passions. And number two, those who are creating greatness in the world and doing both of these things despite the odds against them. Each episode, we're going to feature interviews with game changers, business leaders, telling us their origin stories. What made them tick? what got them to where they are now.

Why?

So it can help you step into your greatness

within your life, your business, and your career. Occasionally, you might hear a few solo episodes

for myself, as I say, as I leverage my 20 years of entrepreneurship as a CEO and founder

to help you grow and level up in your journey to scale your life and your business. So come be a fly on the wall, enjoy the conversation, and I'm stoked to have you hear with me. Guys, welcome to this episode of The Greatness for Shammy. Your host, Darius Moshazzam. And boy, do we have special guests. Derek Coburn is in the house. What's up, brother? What's up, Darius? How are you doing, my? Oh, man. I'm great. I'm fucking great. I'm stoked that you're here, dude. I'm excited to be here. It's fun to be back. Yeah, man. Repeat guests. What do you got to say about that, man? Like, dude, I was thinking about before the show we were talking and and I was reminding Derek, I'm like, I think we've been on Clubhouse.

Amazing. Something good came out at Clubhouse for me.

I know. My wife, when I was on Clubhouse, is like, what are you doing, dude?

I'm like, just I'm leaving my phone on all night to get followers.

I feel like I'm in middle school again. Leave me alone. I know. There was a little middle school moment. There was a woman that was, you know, it's interesting, though. I've gotten some cool guests out of the show, you being one of them, and made some new relationships out of you being one of them. But there was a woman, her episode came out two weeks ago who I had like, no joke. So her name was Amy Purdy. I don't know if you remember this person. I don't know. She was on a bunch of like the stages that you and I were like hanging out on. And I was on there like looking people up. I actually, I don't even if you know this. I launched my, so this was a live stream before it was an actual podcast. And then I launched the podcast on Clubhouse with Mike McCallowit. So Mike McCallowitz and I, who I don't know if you're friends with him profit first. Yeah. We've had to see Cadre before and hung out with him a bit.

Dude,

he's such a fucking cool dude.

Big time. And he's a homie. So, so, uh, so Mike, like we did a, we hosted a room and we had a couple thousand people coming in. I launched a podcast on there. Um, but I end up at, you know, you know we meet people some people like I'm not going to say their names because I'm

embarrassed I put them on the show. Like, looking back, I'm like, oh, I shouldn't put that guy on the show. And some, and some, obviously, amazing like yourself. But Amy came on. She lost both her legs and meningitis when she was 19 and became a professional snowboarder and then was on

dancing with the stars right oh my gosh i didn't even i didn't even think i talked her on clubhouse i just

saw her profile and i'm like oh she's super interesting and then i hounded her for three years and then she came

on the show dude amazing human being spent like an hour with her you know but anyway she's another

guest that just came on someone that i met the clubhouse. So to your point, not a complete royal waste of time. And obviously getting to meet humans like yourself, I'm like, all right, it's paid off over time, you know? So that's, it's all the make of it, right? How are you doing, dude? I'm good. I, uh i uh you know just recovering from a little surgery but

other than that man i'm excited to to uh keep banging the drum with the with this book that i wrote
