00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.680
gotta tell you, if you're listening to this, you got

31
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.760
to see this guy looks like he's like twenty. He's

32
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.840

They're great, Steve, appreciate the opportunity to be here.

36
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.599
Oh listen, I am looking forward to hearing your story.

37
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.800
I'm looking forward to you sharing things. You say. Your

38
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.639
mission is to empower executive professionals high achievers to optimize

39
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.400
their health span. That's an interesting kind of word and lifespan.

40
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.639
Health span right, because you can live to one hundred

41
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:37.000
and be sickly. Right combines evidence based strategies and nutrition,

42
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.159
fitness recovery, and hormone optimization. You're about hormones a lot

43
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.159
with women, you know, in terms of like menopause and

44
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.120
things like that. You don't talk about it as much

45
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.120
with men. But anyway, let me let me ask you this.

46
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.479
It sounds like this is not something you figured out

47
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.759
in the last few weeks. Right, What gots you started

48
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.000
on this journey? What got you into the longevity space,

49
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.719
the health space space, the fitness space, because body buildings

50
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.560
like not something you know that's like, that's a lifestyle.

51
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.039
You don't just lift weights, it's all diet and everything.

52
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.080
So tell us, tell us your story.

53
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.080
Well, I started off with bodybuilding after I got out

54
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.439
of high school. I played you know, basketball in high school,

55
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.759
and I did sports and uh, you know, the dream

56
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.000
was to be a be a pro athlete. Well that

57
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.400
wasn't going to happen in basketball because I'm short. I'm

58
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:32.599
five foot seven so and I was small as a

59
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.680
as an individual. So I wanted to figure out a

60
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.599
way to put more muscle on because I got picked

61
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.520
on a little bit as well, when I was in school,

62
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.960
and I didn't like that. Its annoying. And then I

63
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.680
saw a picture of Arnold sportunated on a magazine. I thought, well,

64
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.479
I put some muscle on, people probably leave me alone.

65
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.639
And so my journey started with that initially. And plus

66
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.479
more females are bigger than me at the time, so

67
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.400
if you're going to get the dating, it's not really

68
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.360
good with your stature. So I got into bodybuilding and

69
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.280
I did everything you could do wrong on that process,

70
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.840
but that's how I learned. And so from that journey

71
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.400
I had some success. I was competing and winning, not

72
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.439
necessarily winning, I was getting second, a third place. And

73
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.360
reality was in those days, which is in the late

74
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.040
eighties early nineties, you got to be on drugs, which

75
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:24.959
I wasn't going to do that. So I decided, well,

76
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.360
I'm just going to stay healthy and I like bodybuilding

77
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.959
and that was my lifestyle. So I've been doing that

78
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.519
ever since. And then during this journey, when we hit

79
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.399
about forty five forty six, I started to not my

80
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.560
body wasn't responding to the training and the things I

81
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.560
was doing like it normally had been. And then my

82
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.040
wife made a comment about this aging thing is kind

83
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.839
of a you know something, it's kind of a headache,

84
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.879
and so I'm like, I don't think it's anything to

85
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.519
do about it, but I said, well, I mean this, see,

86
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.319
there's anything you can do about it. And so basically

87
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.040
at the age of four, with each five, I just

88
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.040
I started studying aging. And so I've been studying ever since.

89
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.920
I'm sixty two today, and so there's a lot to

90
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.600
know about how how the body ages. And it was

91
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.439
pretty you know, pretty basic in the beginning, but the

92
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.680
last five years have really speeded up what happens with aging,

93
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.120
and so I'm fascinated by it. And so I've just been

94
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.920
studying it. And you know, the idea of letting Larner

95
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.639
was always attractive as well, because if you're doing well financially,

96
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.560
you want to be able to maximize the you know,

97
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.279
all the hard work you're doing, and you look around

98
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.600
outside you see people in poor health. They can't hardly

99
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:42.839
move well. I didn't want to be part of that,

100
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.360
and I didn't want to have somebody out, you know,

101
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.399
have to take care of me. And so that's the

102
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.399
division is how do I keep it again? Health span lifespan,

103
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.759
So where I get the best return for the amount

104
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.079
of years I'm alive and not be you know, bedridden,

105
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.600
or not be in a wheelchair. Things like that. Don't

106
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.920
get me wrong, there's accents that can cause this, but

107
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.160
just things that I could control.

108
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.360
Was yeah, yeah, yeah, I prefer to learn about Well,

109
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.560
I think I think you brought up multiple really interesting points,

110
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.160
So let me explore a couple of them. Number one,

111
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.560
the importance of mentoring. Because you made a comment like

112
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.240
when you first started out, you made a lot of mistakes.

113
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.560
I'm assuming that's because you didn't have guidance. You were

114
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.920
going to do a gym banging a bunch of iron.

115
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.800
Maybe you're hurting yourself, you're sore because you didn't really

116
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.879
have a coach, you didn't have somebody really knew what

117
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:30.399
they was doing.

118
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.920
I'm assuming right, absolutely correct. Yes, I mean I was

119
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:38.160
reading magazines, but they're very misleading. The media could be

120
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.199
very misleading unfortunately with things like that.

121
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.040
So mm, and then this whole concept, I'm going to

122
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.360
say quality of life. I love this term health span.

123
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.360
It's kind of just because it really says what it is.

124
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.279
But I think, and correct me if I'm wrong or

125
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.000
you have a different vision. It really It's about choices, right,

126
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.639
I mean absolutely, because I got to think. I mean,

127
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.759
I like to think i'd lead a healthy ish lifestyle,

128
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.839
and sure it could be better. But there's things that

129
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.480
are obvious choices in your diet, right, choices in exercising

130
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.360
or not exercising. I think it's I don't care how

131
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.199
healthy you are. Nobody's gonna argue if you're active, it's

132
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.879
better than being sedentary, right, Better to have healthy food

133
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.000
or at least what you think is healthy food compared

134
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.319
to lousy food. But do you have like a list,

135
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.839
like are there things you would say you you must

136
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.800
do if you want to maintain your health? I know

137
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.639
everybody's biology is different and their genetics is different, but

138
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.279
and there's is there a list of things like don't

139
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.639
do ever like like this? If you want to age

140
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.839
more quickly? Are do you have like a quick two

141
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.160
or three things you could rattle off there? Like I

142
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.040
want to live to one hundred and fifty? What should

143
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.160
I never do? It's not what I'm doing every day.

144
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:01.759
Let's see based on my experience and research. Thing, first

145
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.800
and foremost, the first thing everybody should do is get

146
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.079
rid of or get off of process ultra processed food,

147
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.639
noss benefits to it. You know, it doesn't do any good.

148
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:14.759
It creates inflammation.

149
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.079
Give you one example, give an example of processed food,

150
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:18.759
just in case it.

151
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.079
Have fast food.

152
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.079
Okay, process no big max, no big Max.

153
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:27.639
Well, yeah, a lot of the fast food period is

154
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.319
not good. I don't care what restaurant.

155
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.480
Okay, Well, I'm not singling out McDonald's. I'm just saying

156
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.879
that I think that's sort of a epitome of a

157
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.519
fast food right. No, no, Taco Bell exactly. But it's

158
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.120
not just there. You can get processed food in the

159
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:43.720
supermarket all day if you want.

160
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.559
Yeah. So anything comes in a bag with a barcode

161
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:51.240
or a box, it's processed, Okay, And we eat a

162
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.679
whole real food. That's where the money is. Okay, that's

163
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.399
where you get the best return, whole real good, which

164
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.840
our ancestors used to do. Okay, you can't go wrong

165
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.080
in my opinion, with whole real food. So that's your

166
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.720
main focus. But then you want to avoid is all

167
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.960
this processed stuff because all the chemicals in it, it doesn't

168
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.159
clear your system. Well, it doesn't help you. Seed oils

169
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.559
are one of the main problems that we have now

170
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.799
as well, because that's in everything. You can go down

171
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.360
a rabbit hole on that for a while. So I'm

172
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.320
not gonna get into it right now. Just for the

173
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.480
sake of being efficient with.

174
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.519
Information, like all the hidden sugar and the corn syrup,

175
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:26.919
I mean.

176
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:33.960
Exactly, then you need to prioritize, prioritize, prioritize sleep. People

177
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.480
discount sleep, and what they don't understand is that's when

178
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.960
all the repair, all the building and cleaning processes are

179
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.240
doing their job, and you keep short circing sleep because

180
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.320
people are trying to be more efficient people be more productive.

181
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.399
It doesn't really work that way. You start short circling it,

182
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.799
you're gonna have more brain fatigue, you're gonna have more

183
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.480
lack of energy. You're gonna want to eat more sugary foods.

184
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.559
You keep your energy up, more caffeine, and that's not good.

185
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.720
You'd be monitoring your sleep, make sure you're getting quality,

186
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.279
quality deep sleep, and quality rim sleep, which is dream

187
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.519
sleep and deep sleep. You want to actually monitor those.

188
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.759
And if you're getting good, good sleep, you know and

189
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:14.559
you feel good. Once you start tracking it, you're gonna

190
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.840
realize the days you didn't get good sleep, what can

191
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.039
happen versus the days you've got good sleep. It's very important,

192
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.039
so no process to deep sleep. The next one is exercise.

193
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.039
You need to exercise to keep stress on the body.

194
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:30.120
Mild forms of stress is very good. It's called hormesis.

195
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.320
It doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, and that's what

196
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.320
exercises as a form of hormesis. There's other things too,

197
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.039
like fasting and things like that, but exercise helped with

198
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.200
autoplogy getting rid of old sentience itsels. It helps to

199
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.000
burn that off because old sense it sales can lead

200
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.440
to cancer because they can start to replicate because they're

201
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:53.279
damaged cells. So exercise is critical on top of the first.

202
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.480
Stress tucking like cardio or weightlifting or both.

203
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.399
So cardio has benefits, but your best return for the

204
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.799
money is resistance training because resistance training maintains joint strength,

205
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.360
bone density, and muscle is really your currency for longevity.

206
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.679
If you don't have muscle, you're not going to go

207
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.960
very far. If you have an extended hospital stay of

208
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:16.759
a week or more, you're gonna acterer for your muscle.

209
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.639
You're gonna lose that muscle and it's hard to get

210
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.240
it back when you lose it. And as we age,

211
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.399
you don't put it on in the easier because you

212
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.200
have an issue called antabolic resistance. What this means is

213
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.840
you don't retain your muscle as well and you don't

214
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.399
absorb your protein as well. So that's why you're want

215
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.679
to keep as much muscle as possible on your body

216
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.200
because that's going to keep you good, good metabolism. It's

217
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.639
going to keep your mitochondria, which is the energy system

218
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.120
of your body higher tremendous not of benefits. Cardio gives

219
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.480
you some benefits as far as cardiovascular, but it doesn't

220
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.879
do much for muscle at all.

221
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.240
Let me ask you this because there's a lot more

222
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.480
I want to get into. But is there a way

223
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.320
to come? Like let's say I got a half houred

224
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.519
exercise right, and I'm like, is there a way I

225
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.600
can Like could I walk with weights?

226
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:01.799
Like?

227
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.039
Is that get both does that check both boxes? Or

228
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.320
is that just wishful thinking?

229
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.720
Well, if you're walking with weights, you're going to have

230
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.080
some resistance in some specific areas that are affected, but

231
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.679
not enough how you're walking, how you're carrying the weight.

232
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.279
But you want to, in my opinion, to get the

233
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.799
best return, you want to train all your different muscle groups,

234
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.399
so you have a more balance physique, but also you

235
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.440
burn more energy. You're going to get a better return

236
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.840
because of the how the body is working those different

237
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.519
muscle groups. You have large muscle groups like your legs,

238
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.639
your back, and then your chest, your shoulders and arms. Okay,

239
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.200
if you're always training your legs and your arms, well

240
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.120
you're not getting things to your back and your chest

241
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.799
the way you would like, and so those areas are

242
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.200
going to suffer them not going to look as good

243
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.559
and not going to keep your posture as good. As

244
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.559
an example, you want to balance strategy. If you're going

245
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:51.879
to do resistant training cardio, which is fine, do you

246
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.120
resistance train first because that's when your collectaching levels are

247
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.759
the highest, because that's what you burn, and then you

248
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.639
can do some cardio, Like if you do thirty minutes

249
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.159
is through twenty minutes resistance training at as level, and

250
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.519
then ten minutes of cardio to finish up, so you

251
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.759
get the best of both worlds on a thirty minute

252
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:09.519
time span.

253
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.559
Interesting, Now I assume like you coach people, you mentor

254
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.919
people and all this stuff. Let me ask you this

255
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.600
longevity is I guess as a subset of health somehow right,

256
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.120
Like it's in that field, right, Yeah. Where do you

257
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:32.960
see this going? Is this something that's becoming more popular

258
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.840
in the mainstream? Is this something that everybody kind of

259
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.559
knows but just gets too busy with life. Where do

260
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.919
you see the future of longevity in terms of a

261
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.720
sort of a I don't mean consciousness like spiritually, I

262
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.120
mean in terms of people knowing about it, implementing things

263
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.600
that you would you would advocate well.

264
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.559
Longevity, in my opinion, based on what I've been learning

265
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.679
and paying attention to it, it's going to be huge

266
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.759
in the future because the people that are investing in

267
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.919
longevity are people that are successful because they want more energy,

268
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.519
they want to live longer, they want to enjoy life longer,

269
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.519
they want to have better mobility. And so these successful

270
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.000
people they're going to invest in it because if you

271
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:18.440
can live a nice quality hundred years versus being in

272
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.840
you know, incapacitated mentally, you know, mentioned things like that,

273
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.080
who wouldn't want it? You know, if you slow down aging,

274
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.679
you're going to slow down disease. And that's where the

275
00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:33.480
money is. Let's slow down aging, let's slope not having disease,

276
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:36.440
and let's have a really healthy lifestyle and then see

277
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.039
alcohol we can take it. Now, some of the projections

278
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.000
they're making you are pretty extreme. They're saying we could

279
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.360
live the one hundred and fifty or even older. But

280
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.159
irregardless of that, it's what you can do today to

281
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.879
improve where you're going now. There is a lot of

282
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.960
science and a lot of stuff coming down to pipeline,

283
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.480
especially with AI now that's going to help improve the

284
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.679
quality life. But you know, like anything else, you've got

285
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.639
to be want to put some time and effort into it.

286
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.600
So that's where if you don't want to waste time,

287
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.559
you get with the right people that can help coach

288
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.240
you on that if you have an interest in it.

289
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.480
A lot of people take their health for granted because

290
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.159
they don't feel pain today, they don't feel well.

291
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:16.240
That's I think part of the problem. You don't worry

292
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.279
about it till you get sick.

293
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.480
Yeah, people don't wake up and go hey, I think

294
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:21.919
I got high blood pressure, or they won't wake up

295
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.240
and go hey, I think I got a high cholesterol issue.

296
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.240
With apple be Now, I didn't say LDL, I said

297
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:28.960
apple will be. There's a big difference between those as

298
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.919
far as cholesterol measurement. People are starting to wake up

299
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.879
to this, but they don't really realize it because the

300
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.879
way the medical community communicates cholesterol. So that's a whole

301
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.440
another rabbit hole we can go down. But these are

302
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.679
things that people are looking for better answers to get

303
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.879
a better return. And if you can have good quality energy,

304
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.200
good quality sex, drive, and you're feeling good about yourself

305
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.399
with confidence, who wouldn't want more of that? But if

306
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.519
you go with what's going on in the media right

307
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:59.399
now on the mainstream, with the current food system which

308
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.600
is toxic, you're going to be like the rest of them.

309
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:03.399
You're gonna be looking to get on a g LP

310
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.480
one or some of the analyst to try to fix

311
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:07.720
all the damage you did in the past.

312
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:08.840
Mm hmm.

313
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.440
You can all be corrected naturally as well, but it

314
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.759
depends on how much work you want to put into it.

315
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.080
Me let me ask you this question, and I don't

316
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:21.720
this is not meant to be political or any criticism,

317
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.559
but where do you where? Where do you? You kind

318
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.080
of mentioned this a little bit, but Western medicine famous

319
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.440
for you don't feel good to take a drug, or

320
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.559
you don't feel good to get a surgery, right, it's

321
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.200
we've long since unfortunately abandoned this sort of basis of

322
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:43.720
natural uh natural health. Right. Where do you stand on that?

323
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:44.200
Is?

324
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.039
Is there a place for that at all? Or do

325
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.360
you think people almost have to replace their thinking? Like

326
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.120
if you if I came to you as a client,

327
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.399
You're probably going to do some sort of analysis, Steve,

328
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.679
what are you doing now? What are you and what's

329
00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:01.000
your what's your diary of stuff? But you know, where

330
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.320
do you stand on this? Maybe philosophically a little bit,

331
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:05.880
but more from a practical standpoint. If I have a

332
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.119
heart attack, I'm going to the emergency room. But I'm

333
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.240
saying you're talking more like day to day lifestyle to

334
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.559
minimize health risks and maximize health optimization or as you say,

335
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.319
health span. Right, But to talk about that a little

336
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.759
bit arm them.

337
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.960
Okay, So if you have an acute issue heart attack, accident,

338
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:27.319
or whatever, the medical community is their top shelf. Okay,

339
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.279
they do really good on that. If you have an

340
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:35.359
issue that's systemic and that it can't be cleared up

341
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:40.039
with a prescription, then we're talking about a root cause problem.

342
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:43.839
The medical community doesn't do root cost solutions. Now they're

343
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.839
starting moving that direction to some degree. Some doctors are,

344
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.559
which is awesome, but it's very few and far between unfortunately.

345
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.799
So the medical community is a prescription based diagnosis and

346
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.720
if they can't do a prescription, they're not really going

347
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:59.880
to be it'll help you, and that's how they roll.

348
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.680
So that's what the current problems are. They don't get

349
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.200
into the root cause. Well, what's causing the root cause problem? Well,

350
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.759
you know, let's see what you're doing on nutrition, because

351
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:13.319
nutrition and supplementation those that's the raw materials you need

352
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.960
to function at a high level. If you take in

353
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.519
poor fuel like in a gas tank, you know what's

354
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:21.960
going to happen over time. It's going to create corrosion,

355
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.039
it's going to create other problems, and that's what's going

356
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.519
on with our food system and that's a huge problem.

357
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.960
Let alone water. You got to have good clean water

358
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.119
and if you're not even drinking filtered water, you're living dangerously.

359
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.160
And also I wouldn't recommend drinking all your filtered water

360
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.079
through bottled water because there's a lot of microplastics in

361
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.960
that these days unfortunately, so glass is always best in

362
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.480
that case, or staining the still containers and some of

363
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.599
the newer things that we have available because what you're

364
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.200
putting in your bond and your body has to clear

365
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.640
it out and filter it. So that's another key thing.

366
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.680
So with the medical community, use the guidance, but you

367
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.599
need to be your own advocate, do your own research.

368
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.519
There's a lot of good tools out there you can

369
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.519
and be careful using AI. Now AI has some good information,

370
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.400
but AI is using the data that was given coming

371
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.319
from poor studies and it's recommending it. You need to

372
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.839
wait through that. That's what I found. So when don't

373
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.400
you come to using AI. I don't necessarily believe everything

374
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.359
in chat GPT. I tend to look at perplexity AI

375
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.319
for medical reasons because it's kind of footnotes where the

376
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.079
sources came from a lot better than what does a

377
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:25.119
chat GPT has.

378
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:32.799
Another example, listen Steve Green here my guest armin Armin

379
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:39.559
Echo Barger, expert in wellness, health span, lifestyle for fitness, longevity.

380
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.799
I hope you're enjoying this conversation. I'm getting motivated a

381
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:44.119
soon as we get I want to go grab some

382
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:48.799
barbells man do something. But listen, every time, this is

383
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:51.279
about the success journey. You can have all the success

384
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:52.880
financially you want not going to help you if you're

385
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.880
laying in a hospital bed or worse. Right, So there's

386
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.519
an absolute one hundred I believe, one hundred percent place

387
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:00.759
for what ARM is bringing to us today. If you're

388
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.200
enjoying this, please share it. That's what this whole podcast

389
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.160
is about. It's about getting information that can help you

390
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.039
and people you know and people they know as much

391
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.319
as we can. So let me ask you a couple

392
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:12.839
of questions, and we're going to start to wrap up

393
00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:18.920
a little bit. Somebody wants to work with you. Is

394
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.119
there a certain point in time, like, oh, I turned forty,

395
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.039
I gotta call Arman, or I turned fifty, I gotta

396
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.839
call Arman? Or is there some trigger point? Because I

397
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.000
think truthfully, if somebody's basically feeling good, they're probably not

398
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.759
worrying about it right or wrong? Right? But what would

399
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.400
be an event or something that might say, hey, listen,

400
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.400
I really need to have a conversation with an expert

401
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.079
in this field, no different than to move with anything else. Right,

402
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.359
you know you can't read, you get glasses, But what

403
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.519
would be that? What would be some trigger points maybe

404
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.400
or some events small or large that are an age

405
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.480
number where they should start to reach out to somebody

406
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.039
like yourself.

407
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:01.000
Well, that's a yeah, that's a pretty broad question.

408
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.960
It's a leading question. I'm just trying to get people

409
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:03.279
to say.

410
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.599
So there is some parts to that. So I would say,

411
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.960
first and foremost, if you don't feel as good as

412
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.079
you used to feel, and you need to start thinking

413
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.799
about what you're doing. Because when you feel good, you

414
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:16.400
kind of live on the edge a little bit. You

415
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:18.640
party a little longer, you drink a little more, you

416
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.119
get a little less sleep. You know, you try to

417
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.680
do more. Okay, Well, when things start leveling out and

418
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.519
not being what they used to be, yeah, you need

419
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:29.400
to start checking into what's going on. You need to

420
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:34.440
re evaluate everything you're doing. Generally, if you're living a

421
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.920
pretty good lifestyle, I'm not living too hard with drugs

422
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.640
and too much alcohol and other things, you're probably gonna

423
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.720
be pretty good to your thirties. Now, there are issues

424
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.160
with people with hormone levels because of our toxic food

425
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.480
systems that have depleted hormone levels at an earlier age. Again,

426
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.440
that's a symptom based thing, So that's what I'm talking about.

427
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.799
But generally after forty things are going to be slowing

428
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.519
down as well, and if you're not feel really good

429
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.759
after forty, then you definitely need to start doing some analysis.

430
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.039
And so my first recommendation on that is do some

431
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.319
very very comprehensive lab work to see where you actually are.

432
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.119
You need to look under the hood and see what's

433
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.000
going on. And it's a I rarely have people do

434
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.799
my lab panel to come back with a perfect score

435
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.799
or even a decent score, because there's a lot of

436
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:24.079
things that they don't even understand, and the medical community,

437
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:28.160
unfortunately isn't doing that. So anytime you and then on

438
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.279
top of that, if you're lost muscle and you can't

439
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.559
seem to get it back, you've got too much body fat,

440
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.119
you're frustrated what you're doing. Uh, you're just your energy

441
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.039
levels are in the tank. You can't function well mentally,

442
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.200
you're starting to lose your edge. You need to start

443
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:47.039
reevaluating things. That would be a real simple format because

444
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.079
that happened at any age. And I work with people

445
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:55.240
from you know, thirty, mostly from thirty to seventy and

446
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.039
up okay, and some people when they get into sixties

447
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:02.640
and seventy exapt you're like, well, there's nothing you can do. Well,

448
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.039
that's absolutely wrong, and that's incorrect. There's plenty you can

449
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.799
do and you'd be surprised. So I'm just letting that

450
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.079
be out that I'm sixty two, so I'm not seventy.

451
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:12.839
I don't know what it feels like to be at seventy,

452
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:14.279
but I can tell you what it feels like to

453
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:15.960
be at sixty two, what it felt like to be

454
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.720
at forty would it felt like to be fifty?

455
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.720
But in your case, I mean, I think most people,

456
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:24.240
given the story you've told, we're pretty athletic. You know

457
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.160
we're working pretty hard. I mean weightlifting is not exactly

458
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:32.279
an easy sport, right, I mean, I mean it takes

459
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.519
a lot of dedication, takes a lot of physical effort.

460
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:36.759
So I think most people would say, hey, this guy

461
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.400
was paying his dues, this guy was pushing it, probably

462
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.319
more than the average person, right, And even in your case,

463
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.039
you started to hit a wall. Well maybe that's not

464
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:47.720
the best way to say it, but you reached the

465
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:50.799
point where your performance wasn't what it was at some point,

466
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.039
which is what led you to make this evaluation, which

467
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:57.319
has led you into this career. I guess if you

468
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.559
want to call it that. So everybody is going to

469
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:02.400
at some point. This is the problem getting older and

470
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:08.160
nobody lives forever. Two quick questions is we haven't really

471
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.960
broken down into gender, but same consideration for females and males.

472
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:17.079
I mean, maybe it's different how it manifests, but would

473
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.759
you approach a woman's goals this way different than a man's.

474
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.559
Yeah, there's a little bit of variance there. You know,

475
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:27.400
men have a certain Men produce more male hormones. There

476
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:31.200
are a certain way I work with men. Females have

477
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.799
multiple hormones. They have a lot higher amounts of hormones.

478
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.559
They have up to thirty five different types of estrogens

479
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.359
as an example. Okay, so what the female, It's going

480
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.079
to be a little bit different because they also have

481
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.200
different goals as more as how they want to look.

482
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.480
So I based it on what they want to feel

483
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:51.839
like with how they want to look, and then how

484
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.240
their health is. So there is variants on both of

485
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.880
those and so they are going to be customized. But

486
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.559
all this is the customization has been based on doing

487
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:05.720
a deep dive interview about what they've learned before, what

488
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:09.000
their beliefs are really are today, and where they'd like

489
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:10.920
to go. And that's how I work with people, and

490
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.200
we want to fix it to where it's going to

491
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:15.839
do what they wanted to do and make it part

492
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:19.160
of their lifestyle that they want, not a cookie cutter deal.

493
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:20.519
This is how it works, and there's no out and

494
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.119
there's no other options. So I have to research a

495
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.559
lot of things with clients depending on what kind of

496
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.119
things that come up in the lab work. And it's

497
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.920
amazing what can come up in the lab work, and

498
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:31.799
I can get into the rabbit hole all kinds of

499
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.440
stuff on that. But you know, you need to have

500
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.400
a strategy if you want to really have a good,

501
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.759
healthy lifespan and also look and feel the way you

502
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.519
want to look. Because there's people that in their sending

503
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.400
these look phenomenal because they've done the work and it does.

504
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:49.200
That'd be difficult. You just need to know what to

505
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:51.400
do and you needn't know how to sort through that.

506
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:53.160
And that's why you help people. You sort through the

507
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.359
garbage that's in the media. There's a lot of garbage

508
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.279
in the media and they're just trying to sell stuff,

509
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.799
products and things like that, and the reality is some

510
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:03.960
things are necessary and a lot of them aren't.

511
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.440
How do people reach you. I hope anybody's listening saying, man,

512
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.160
I need a piece of this. It's not working what

513
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.680
I'm doing. How do they reach you? And we're going

514
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.559
to put this in the show notes losing you driving

515
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:20.759
or listening in some capacity. Uh, you gave me an email, Arma,

00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.160
So just using these names should get you most places.

528
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.720
Well well with your brand. They're armand Arma's got to

529
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.079
give away. He's given away a nutrition manual. All you

530
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:08.400
gotta do is reach out to him.

531
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:10.960
Yeah, just reach out to him. It could be social media,

532
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.599
it could be just reference the show that you know

533
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:17.400
you got the information on, and I'll give you this.

534
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.119
It's normally nine nine dollars for the manual and it

535
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:23.319
deals with insulin management and car management because that's what

536
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.640
creates most people's health problems and excess body It's a

537
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.039
very good manual. It's well detailed, it's small and short brief,

538
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.200
but it gives you some insight on how you should

539
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:36.720
approach your nutrition if you're dealing with again obesity, too

540
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.359
much body fat, or you just want to optimize your

541
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.119
which is.

542
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:47.799
Like nine of the marming population. Beautiful army. This was great.

543
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:51.079
I'm sold, man. I mean, I hope I'm as healthy

544
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:55.880
as you. Well I'm older than you actually, but listen,

545
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:59.200
I think it comes down to this just a choice,

546
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.599
right you and choose.

547
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:01.200
To try to guilty.

548
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:04.680
Some people get bad breaks genetically or but ultimately you

549
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.000
know you got to pass. You can go down, and

550
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:08.799
you got a lot your time, you got a lot

551
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.400
your your efforts and your finances to some degree to

552
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:16.839
making these kind of choices. There anything we did not

553
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:19.599
get into that you just want to mention or talk

554
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.839
about quickly before we go into our wrap up.

555
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.559
Well, I mean there's there's just so many things that

556
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.079
that can be discussed. But my thing is first and

557
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.599
foremost that people really need to focus on. Just be

558
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.279
your own advocate. Trust all the other systems that are

559
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.799
out there. You need to do some uh you know,

560
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:44.400
get second and third opinions, because it's just there's just

561
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.039
more available now and so you have a lot of choices.

562
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.000
And but then you need to, you know, find the

563
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:54.200
right resources that you trust, that you believe, that you're

564
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:56.799
agreeing with to help you with where you want to go,

565
00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:59.359
because it's about you at the end of the day.

566
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.200
And then everybody wants to sell you stuff.

567
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.720
Let's just be real, Okay, Okay, it's hard to separate

568
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:10.039
this from the capitalism. Yeah, that's the trouble.

569
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.279
If you're on your own advocate and get your own

570
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.559
people that you'd like and trust to battance things off,

571
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:17.440
it's like having a good CPA. It's like having a

572
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.960
good financial advisor. It's like having all you know again,

573
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:23.799
that's what we're talking about. Find the right sources that

574
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.160
you can work off so it works for you. That's

575
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:28.920
that's what I would say is really important. I mean,

576
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:30.920
I'm here to help people, but at the same time.

577
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:34.160
You know, I can't help everybody anyways, So be your

578
00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:36.640
own advocate and learn things and do some of the

579
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:38.720
do some of the takeaways we've thrown in here to

580
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:40.599
work off of, and then you can you can start

581
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.160
building on that.

582
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.039
Love it, love it and listen, Let's be real, this

583
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:46.240
isn't going to be something to changes in two days.

584
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:51.799
This is a long term, uh step stages kind of thing.

585
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.880
But it's got to start someplace. So maybe listening to

586
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.000
this with that precipitating event for some of you out there,

587
00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:01.759
make through an experience podcast hand arm and you want

588
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:03.880
to play My favorite game I have with my guests

589
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.559
are phave five. Sure, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm

590
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:09.559
going to give you a topic. You tell me about

591
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:14.559
your favorite thing, and that topic is okay color. I

592
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:22.519
like red red nice food for me, it's carecake, karaoke

593
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:28.559
with organic carrots and like you know, all milk personally

594
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:31.359
milled like my wife makes and a lot of people

595
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.440
will vouch it. She makes fantastic caricake.

596
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.799
Just made you think it's like a cari cake. It's

597
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:40.400
to me, it's really good. That are BlackBerry copper. That's it.

598
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.880
I'm getting hungry music.

599
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.000
Generations. You see, tough one. One my favorite song is

600
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.559
the Who. Babbo Riley is one of my favorites.

601
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.839
Out here in the fields. Yeah, look at you. Who

602
00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.319
are doing a big just to date this. They're doing

603
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:04.759
a giant sort of eighth farewell tour. Farewell, the farewell, farewell,

604
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:09.400
farewell tour. But a place to visit. You live in

605
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.599
a nice place.

606
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.119
But I live in Florida's I really enjoyed Florida again.

607
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:20.240
I traveled a few places, pretty pretty good. But that's

608
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:20.759
a tough one.

609
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:23.079
Off the top, there's so many places.

610
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:25.799
Getting ready to go to Africa next year. My wife

611
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:27.839
really helped Ben on going to Africa.

612
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:29.799
Am I was the same way, I've got to do

613
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:30.319
a safari.

614
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.880
It's just like gig and all that. So unfortunately, but

615
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.680
you know, I bought out of there after I get done.

616
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:44.480
You got like a hero, you got a person, like

617
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:49.400
a role model. I mean you mentioned Arnold, well, Arnold

618
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.279
to us you know this generation, but you know bodybuilders,

619
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:55.839
there's somebody you know that that you really feel has

620
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:57.000
motivated you.

621
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:02.079
Well. Arnold was probably the first one, but in the

622
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.200
world of business, probably been pretty impressive with Elon Mosk.

623
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.359
I mean that probably a pretty common one, but you know,

624
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.880
kind of analyzed him a lot of different ways, and

625
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.759
the guy has really good decision making capacity in so

626
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.880
I think that he's a good guy to follow on

627
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:19.880
that just that's my opinion.

628
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.119
Well, if the scorecard is how much money you made,

629
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.720
he's doing pretty well, right.

630
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.079
Yeah, but not that he has good reflections on other

631
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:32.400
topics too that I found with I agree with most

632
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:32.839
of the time.

633
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:35.160
You know what I think the key is is surrounding

634
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.680
yourself with good Nobody can do everything exactly. I've had

635
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.039
a whole series of podcasts just on this exact topic.

636
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:44.240
Those are you long term listeners around episodes sixty five

637
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:49.200
to eighty of surrounding yourself, of realizing you can't be

638
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:56.359
all things to everything, and offloading and delegating to quality people.

639
00:32:56.480 --> 00:33:02.319
And sometimes that means whipping out the checkbook. But it's impossible,

640
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:05.160
especially as an entrepreneur, to wear every hat that you

641
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:09.279
have to wear well. You want to focus on what

642
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.200

a lot to talk about. I got I usually take

656
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:57.920
a lot of notes, but I got two pages notes.

That's the plan, my man. So uh all right, folks,

662
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:13.840
make the great podcast Your Hopes Doctor Stephen Green, the

663
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:17.559
Success Doctor. Listen. We are about the success journey. It

664
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:21.559
isn't all about the bottom line. What's the point having

665
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.039
one hundred million dollars if you're laying in the hospital

666
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:27.639
bed or worse, and it's kind of your own doing

667
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.559
sometimes because you make bad choices. Think about what you're doing,

668
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.639
Think about what you're eating, think about what you drinking,

669
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:35.400
think about what you're doing every day. I get it,

670
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.360
got to pay the rent. You got to take care

671
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:42.440
of number one sometimes too, right, not not twenty four hours,

672
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.960
just dedicated. It's all about habit, right, people know, I

673
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:47.960
get a five in the morning. I exercise every day

674
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:49.679
from five to six or six thirty in the morning.

675
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:51.760
I may not be doing the right things because it's

676
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.039
a lot of its cardio, but even so it's better

677
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.840
and laying in bed. So all right, listen, if you

678
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.400
like what's hurt today, please share, Please get the word out.

679
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:03.760
It's not my ego. I don't want to. I don't

680
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:05.760
care if I have a million followers, but I want
