| 0:00.0 | 5 Minute Friday Episode 4, 6, 5, Upgrade Your Belief |
| 0:11.2 | There's a quote that I posted recently on Instagram that says, |
| 0:14.2 | Don't downgrade your dreams to match your reality. Upgrade your belief to match your vision. |
| 0:23.2 | Now I was having a conversation with a good buddy of mine named Brooks today, |
| 0:26.3 | who is a top athlete in the NHL, and we are having this talk about how frustrated we get |
| 0:34.1 | when we meet people that don't have a big belief in their vision. And they feel like there are |
| 0:41.3 | rules. There are rules to life and to business and to the world, and they're not able to break |
| 0:47.6 | these rules. They feel like there's a standard that they have to live by, and it's just not true. |
| 0:53.8 | Now you might be tempted to say, I need to get realistic or play it safe or I'll wait till |
| 0:58.3 | later with your dreams. But these reasons are all very logical, and you will never achieve big |

| 1:32.8 | a friend who is looking to be a director and a producer in the film industry. And she was telling me |
| 1:39.2 | that she there's no opportunities for women in the film industry in Hollywood. No one gives her |
| 1:46.1 | a shot. No one gives her a chance. She can't even get into the room to pitch her ideas to a potential |
| 1:51.1 | investors or to the studios or all these other things. And I got to the point where I was so frustrated |
| 1:56.5 | with her and her conversation and her limiting mindset and her limiting belief. I said, there's so |
| 2:02.0 | many other ways you can do this. You can crown fund this and get your friends to help invest in you. |
| 2:07.8 | And the best idea will rise to the top. It doesn't matter if you're white, black, brown, female, |
| 2:15.1 | male, gay, straight, trans. It doesn't matter if you create a great product, especially now today |
