| 0:24.2 | What you're motivated by will make all the difference. Most people, the vast majority of people, are only motivated by pain, right? And so they are only going to move when the pain of what they're doing is worse than the pain of what they're perceiving. And so a lot of people live their lives like this. I imagine you work with a lot of these people, Cody. You'll get people out coming and say, man, I'm about to, you know, I I went to my doctor. He said I'm going to get type two diabetes the way I'm going. I'm just making this up. |
| 0:28.5 | He's not said this. So if this is you, don't feel bad. Like I was a fat kid and I used to and I made fun of it. And you know what? What I did because of it. So like what you do with the pain is completely up to |
| 0:38.3 | you, right? It's like, don't put it on other people like they were mean to me. Well, what are you |
| 0:41.7 | going to do about it? When you have a vision, the fastest way to get discipline is to have a |
| 0:45.8 | great vision. All right. |
| 0:57.1 | So I'm going to do like a casual introduction, but I'm going to let you formally introduce yourself. |
| 1:02.1 | Because I still, I mean, I feel like I was learning more about you on the way here in the truck. |
| 1:05.6 | You know, I still don't know a ton about you. |
| 1:06.9 | So I'm excited about this podcast because this is going to be a way for me to dig deeper into your story and really pull out almost like, and I'm going to, we'll link this in the description |
| 1:15.0 | of the podcast, but you guys did an episode like I told you before on your podcast, which the |
| 1:18.8 | impossible life. Yes. Now we're on the tailored life, which I love. Good. And it was great because |
| 1:23.4 | it was a really transformative life story. Yeah. And I related to it in so many ways. |
| 1:29.7 | And I know the listeners are going to as well. |
| 1:32.4 | You've reached a level of success with your business, with your family, with your, your relationship |
| 1:36.7 | of God, with yourself personally. |
| 1:38.4 | That is, it's really cool, man. |
| 1:40.7 | It's just really respectable to see. |
| 1:42.2 | I do. |
| 1:42.4 | And I think that the part that was so |
| 1:44.7 | relatable to me is that you were an average dude who was dealing with stuff that a lot of people |
| 1:50.3 | shouldn't have to deal with but unfortunately do you know and at a certain point in time and i'm not |
| 1:56.0 | going to speak for you too much but at a certain point in time it seemed like you you just had enough |
