Welcome to the rewire podcast.

I'm your host, Ryan Stumann,

and I'm here to rewire your mind for success.

You were put on this planet for success.

You were created to succeed,

but the force of average is after you every single day,

my brothers and sisters,

and this podcast is the one thing that's designed

to help you fight the force of average and excel in

every area of your life. We're glad that you're here. Friday, I'm at the ranch. My 13-year-old

son, my friend comes by and he says, hey, man, we got a 132 bales of hay to bail. And he tells

my son, I'll pay $250 if you can pick it all up and load it up in the hay pen for me. My son's like, hell yeah. The guy says, I ought to take probably three, four hours to get it done. My son's like three, four hours, $250, I'm in. Well, it took us eight. I ended up having to do 50% of the work at least because I could just load faster than jacks. and I didn't have the patience to wait around on them because I had to drive the hate trailer.

But it took us eight hours. least because I could just load faster than Jacks and I didn't have the patience to wait around

on them because I had to drive the hate trailer but it took us eight hours no videos no

YouTube nobody to show a shit we just had to figure it out loading a trailer the truck was broken

down that they gave us the fucking tractor wasn't really big enough for this job, but we made it all work. But about six hours into it, we had about 30 bales of hay left, and we can take loads of 10, so that meant we have about another hour and a half or so left in the job. And Jack says, man, it's almost dark. Let's come back tomorrow and finish this. And I was tired as hell.

And my back hurts because tractors don't have suspension. And I didn't want to fucking bail. Hey, had I known that I was going to be a part of the process, I wouldn't have fucking allowed my son to take that job. But I was already committed. I'd given somebody my word. My son had told him the job would be done. And it was getting late and we retired. it was about 8 o'clock.

And he said, let's finish in the morning.

And I said, son, I want to finish in the morning too, but we're going to finish tonight. Because the superpower will unlock inside of you once you start seeing the completion of getting the job done, knowing you don't have to come back to it tomorrow, knowing that it's over, done, finished. We got another hour and a half. This is going to take us getting all started and getting in the mood and getting into the zone and getting into all that shit tomorrow. We can knock it out in an hour and a half right now. Get the fuck back on the tractor, stack the hay, and let's get it knocked out. We got to see it through, my boy.

Jackson looked at me and said, I hate to say it, but you're right, old man. That lesson right there between me and my 13-year-old son will stick with him the rest of his life. Both of us wanted

to quit. We had ever reason to quit. We're double the fucking shift. We don't know what the fuck we're doing. Shit's all fucked up, but we're seeing it through. And at the end of the day, and the defender ride back to the ranch house, Jacks looks over me and he says, we actually got pretty good at that next time it won't take as long, because we got to do it again in two months. He also said we got to the house,

man, I'm glad we got that behind us. That's a good lesson. Father is important in a child's life,
