| 0:00.0 | Our dear friends here from Miami, and I want to get right into it. |
| 0:05.2 | Alvaro, have you ever read David Hawkins Power versus Force? |
| 0:11.6 | No, it's one of the books that I have on the list, and I definitely need to get to it. |
| 0:17.8 | You know, it's interesting because, you know, the idea of power versus force is how |
| 0:22.6 | you actually do what you do, because what you do most people think is impossible. Just like |
| 0:28.7 | Roger Bannister so many years ago at Oxford, breaking the four-minute mile, people thought that |
| 0:34.5 | was impossible. And then once he did it, everybody did it. |
| 0:44.0 | And so I was just curious, when you take on a feat like seven marathons and seven days and seven continents, |

| 1:18.5 | Thank you, James and David, for having me here. |
| 1:20.6 | I forgot the memo of the hat, but I'll try to move nice and classy. |
| 1:24.4 | And that just means you woke up before us and did your hair. |
| 1:26.8 | We just threw these on, speaking. That just means you have it. You have hair. Oh. Well, James has pretty good hair, though. Yeah, I got them locks, but I didn't feel like taming it this morning. So you guys are looking great. I honestly think, David, back to your question, it all comes down to how everything happens twice, first in your mind and then in reality. |
| 1:48.2 | And a lot of people always think that that distance between their goals and reality is so far out. |
| 1:54.5 | And it's just between your ears and that's your mind. |
| 1:57.0 | So I've always been very conscious about how can I work my mind to have those limiting beliefs taken out of the equation. |
