Let's get started.

What's up, guys?

It's Shane Sams from FlipLifestyle.com and the Flip Lifestyle Podcast.

And I am out here on my deck.

I actually almost just got struck by lightning, I think.

Okay?

So I've got this new hobby, right? And it's stand-up paddle boarding. So I just got my stand-up paddle boarding. Let's check this out. That's my new stand-up paddleboard, baby. And I just started doing this a few days ago. And, you know, I was like, okay, how do I do this? So I tried to stand up on it, and I fell in water. And I tried to stand up on it and my legs shook. And I just couldn't do it. But I've been practicing every day since I got this thing. And, you know, I spent the whole morning making videos for a new sales funnel that we're getting ready to release and getting some stuff done on that and I thought, hey, I want to go out and try to get in,

you know, 20, 30 minutes on my new stand-up paddle board. Okay. And so I go change. I get ready.

The sun's been out all day, but we've had a bad forecast. And I don't know if you can see behind me,

but it is raining right now and you'll probably hear thunder coming over.

So I got out and I looked out, I looked at a cloud. It was way over there. See that, see that dark cloud right there? Right now it's kind of all over me. You see this? You hear the thunder rolling, Garth Brooks style when the thunder rolls. All right. So he got like the thunder, but this thing was way over here when I started on my stand-up paddleboarding today. And, you know, I got my eye watch on. I started

it. You know, I said, hey, I'm going to try and get in 20 minutes before the storm gets here.

Well, I get to about right, oh, hereish on the other side of the lake. And I hear the biggest clap of thunder you've ever heard in your life right above my head.

And I'm standing out here in the middle of this lake.

I'm like, I'm going to die.

I'm going to get struck by lightning and nothing's going to be left of me with this deflated stand-up paddleboard.

So I dropped down on my stomach because I watched this YouTube video last night. And I got in and I was just swimming. And I was swimming. And the thunder was just clapping and rolling. And I was like trying to get in. And like I got a little bit away from the dock here. And I dove into the water and I swam dragging my paddleboard behind me. And right when I got out, the storm got right overhead.

And it was just thunder, rain started pouring.

And, you know, the whole time I'm swimming back, I'm like, man, I just wanted to stand up

paddleboard.
