I've like told myself that this is, I need to do this.

I have to work hard.

I have to travel these nine months.

And then I'll rest.

And then I'll rest.

Yeah. Or the rest will be forced upon me. Oftentimes, especially men, we don't stop until we are forced to stop. My masculine aspects to go, go, go work harder, whether that was a story that I learned from someone or the hustle and the grind. I do think there's a time and a place for it,

but we need to develop those pause points and those moments in our day to actually reflect,

to realize that life is a process. Wisdom for me is that we are constantly evolving,

that the only thing truly constant is the fact that we are evolving. At some point, this frog medicine,

Combo found you. It was a warrior's medicine. And I'm in such the perspective now, not just with

combo, like, I want to work with the medicine. I don't want to get my ass handed to me. Yeah. I want

productive and I want connected. And so I had that experience. The next day, I felt like I could run through a brick wall.

And what I started noticing is as I was traveling and teaching after that point,

I'd be on the road teaching like a maniac, not sustainable stuff,

trying to hustle, trying to build a brand, trying to teach, get my name out there.

I wasn't getting sick.

I am so glad that you have a podcast. Why is that telling me about it? Well, there's a couple, there's many reasons.

But the big two is that I remember when we first sat down years ago, you have this eloquence and you have this power of the pause mastered.

A lot of people don't understand what the power of the pause is.

Power of the pause is where instead of you trying to trump the other person or wait till they're done so you can say exactly what you want

to say, you actually listen. So you're a powerful listener, man. Welcome to wellness and wisdom.

Welcome to the studio. So glad you're here. Dude, thank you so much, man. And thank you for showing
