| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's episode. I'm back in Central Park. I've been traveling. Let's |
| 0:08.2 | talk about how to stay positive. Yesterday, if you're following me on Instagram, |
| 0:13.5 | somebody sent me a video question which was, it was funny, who was actually |
| 0:18.7 | inside of a tractor. And he said, what do you do when life literally and |
| 0:23.8 | metaphorically drops a tree on you? And he had like a tree that had dropped on |
| 0:28.7 | his on his tractor. And I said, here's my answer to both the metaphor and the |
| 0:36.7 | practical, what do you do when life sucks kind of? Here's my answer to when life |
| 0:44.6 | sucks. First of all, one time I had a bobcat, oh I have a bobcat on one of my |
| 0:53.4 | farms in Virginia. And I was clearing brush around the around the pond. It's |
| 1:01.0 | actually a lake. It's like 10 acre lake I have. And the ground gave way and my bobcat |

| 1:21.2 | the water wasn't deep where I where I was. But this bobcat was smashed into the |
| 1:28.1 | mud. It had like face forward. And you cannot pull a bobcat out. They weigh, you |
| 1:32.4 | know, a ton or two. So it's kind of like a tree falling on you. And I wasn't that |
| 1:37.9 | excited because I needed to do what I was doing. So here was my answer to the |
| 1:41.8 | guy on Instagram, metaphorically and literally, what did I do when this thing |
| 1:47.3 | sucked? I went and I got a bigger tractor. I have a big John Deere tractor. I |
| 1:52.7 | took a chain. I hooked it up to the smaller bobcat tractor. And I pulled it out |
| 1:59.2 | in one second, literally like in one second, it pulled out because something |
| 2:05.3 | strong can easily pull out something not as strong, right? So my answer to him |
