This is the Jaco Underground Podcast number 101 sitting here with Echo Charles.

0:04.8

I got a word for you. The word is inertia. In this word, the definition is a tendency to do

0:13.2

nothing or remain unchanged. In physics, I had to get the physics definition is a property of

0:23.2

matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line.

0:29.6

Unless that state is changed by external forces.

0:36.6

So this is us. This is our lives. If we don't make an effort, if we don't apply force,

0:48.6

we don't change. Our lives will just continue as they are. That's what we're up against.

0:58.4

And it's not easy. It takes effort because nature doesn't want to change. It just wants to

1:06.4

keep going in that same path that it's been going on. Your nature, your nature, Echo Charles,

1:12.5

my nature doesn't want to change. It would rather just kind of conserve energy and just continue

1:20.8

doing what it's doing. What we would rather continue doing what we're doing. Just that easy

1:57.4

there's a problem that needs to be dealt with. And get these young seal leaders. Their attitude is

2:03.6

like, they look at the problem, but they just kind of want to keep doing what they're doing.

2:09.3

You can see it's interesting to watch. You can see things start to go sideways. You can see

2:14.9

things start to go off the rails, off the track. And you've got to get over there and get them

2:19.5

back on the track. But you have to go and make that happen. You can't just, it doesn't happen

2:26.4

by itself. So you've got to be default aggressive. That's got to be your mode. It's like, oh,

2:30.5

there's a problem. I'm going to go fix it. I don't like the direction that things are going in.
