00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:01.723
Do not pray for an easy life.
00:00:01.723 --> 00:00:07.261
Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one, Bruce Lee.
00:00:07.261 --> 00:00:13.801
My guest on this episode of Passing the Torch is Sydney Sullivan, host of Maximize the Moment Podcast.
00:00:13.801 --> 00:00:21.088
Maximize the Moment is about maximizing what is inside you and expounding on all the moments every day in your life.
00:00:21.088 --> 00:00:24.000
I first met Sydney in August at a conference.
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.138
He is very passionate about his own podcast and using his platform to inspire others.
00:00:30.138 --> 00:00:34.408
One of the reasons I started my podcast Passing the Torch, is to help lift others.
00:00:34.408 --> 00:00:38.481
Podcaster, author of two books, speaker and Athlete.
00:00:38.481 --> 00:00:42.424
Without further ado, passing the Torch with Sydney Sullivan starts now.
00:00:42.424 --> 00:02:29.868
You see this big smile on your face and I'm liking it, Sydney.
00:02:29.868 --> 00:02:30.610
I'm liking it, man.
00:02:31.132 --> 00:02:32.860
I'm loving the opening quote.
00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:33.361
That's.
00:02:33.361 --> 00:02:36.235
That's something you get motivated off and off the rip.
00:02:36.235 --> 00:02:37.723
So yeah, I'm excited.
00:02:37.723 --> 00:02:40.993
I didn't know where you're gonna go with it, but that's exciting.
00:02:40.993 --> 00:02:42.437
That is Bruce Lee.
00:02:42.837 --> 00:02:56.443
I can appreciate that when just felt I don't know if it called me.
00:02:56.443 --> 00:03:00.116
You know I was thinking like this just seems fitting for for you.
00:03:00.116 --> 00:03:01.580
I'm excited you hear me.
00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:09.217
I think we're driving down and I appreciate the fact that you took a lot of initiative at AFSA last month and that's really how this started.
00:03:09.217 --> 00:03:11.973
Was just you taking initiative and following through?
00:03:12.054 --> 00:03:13.838
and yeah, man just just props to you.
00:03:13.838 --> 00:03:28.718
No, thank you for the opportunity, first and foremost, as well as everybody that's that's out there that has supported civilian military family, but that's what it's all about is about initiative and being proactive.
00:03:28.718 --> 00:03:33.872
There's nothing but airing opportunity out here in the world, and if you don't step into it, no one's gonna do that for you.
00:03:33.872 --> 00:03:39.844
And so, besides the airing opportunity, it's about the partnerships, and so it took me a long time to learn that.
00:03:39.844 --> 00:04:13.855
You know that you were taught to strive for success, and Simon Sinek talks about there's, there's all these, these, all these self-help books in the library, but there's there's no section on on helping others, and so, and so once you, once you realize that I think my cup gets filled more with stepping in the gap for others and using the gifts that God has given me and how I can move that in that in humility, as well as get with other people that have great gifts and understand where my blind spots are, so that so I could be edified in the process love it.
00:04:14.176 --> 00:04:17.288
I think that segway is perfectly into your podcast.
00:04:17.288 --> 00:04:19.297
So please discuss, and just what you're doing.
00:04:19.297 --> 00:04:20.362
Please discuss.
00:04:20.362 --> 00:04:22.108
Maximize the moment yeah.
00:04:22.129 --> 00:04:28.473
So MTM, or maximize the moment, is a nonprofit that myself kept.
00:04:28.473 --> 00:04:34.833
Pastor Kevin Hill, evelyn Hernandez, ricardo Valdez, danny Cox, all these people they help.
00:04:34.833 --> 00:04:43.627
So it's not just a me thing although I'm in, I'm on the face of it, but we do podcasts, we have books, but it's all about John 330.
00:04:43.627 --> 00:04:45.759
So he must become more, I must become less.
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:46.927
That's the foundational thing.
00:04:46.927 --> 00:04:56.774
So God must become more, and then he'll bring more out of me the more that I raise him up the second level to that, the second tier that most people hear about, that is actually maximize the moment.
00:04:56.894 --> 00:04:59.461
Every moment not maximizes a moment minimized.
00:04:59.461 --> 00:05:19.350
So taking advantage of every opportunity that's out there, whether that's interpersonal relationships, striving to get better for personal growth, setting a growth mindset, developing others, all these things that we've done, from prison ministry to actually giving away scholarships at schools, any way that God calls us to step in the gap, we're gonna do that, and so it's a team effort.
00:05:19.350 --> 00:05:30.535
Like I said, I am the face of that company, but we're always looking at bringing more people in, because it's about maximizing the opportunity together and how we can go further, faster, together.
00:05:30.535 --> 00:05:33.040
So that's what it's all about.
00:05:33.302 --> 00:05:34.773
So you can reach me on the podcast.
00:05:34.773 --> 00:05:40.290
You can see us on YouTube, but a lot of people know me from the social media and the motivation and the inspiration.
00:05:40.290 --> 00:05:50.531
But what we try to get to is, in this information age, going past the information to the application was leased, to the transformation which leads to us where we need to go what did you say again?
00:05:50.752 --> 00:05:57.668
if you don't max, if you don't max a moment, you minimize every moment not maximizes, a moment minimize yeah, that's, that's really good.
00:05:57.668 --> 00:06:14.752
And I think I mean, before we start recording, we were talking about how sometimes maybe the best things that didn't happen for you or to you are actually the best things that may happen to you and, in a way, I wrote down some notes because over the past month we've been texting back and forth, throwing around a few topics.
00:06:25.105 --> 00:06:27.591
I live in an age now where people are just kind of like thinking.
00:06:27.591 --> 00:06:31.584
Sometimes it's about hey, I need to get mine or I need to make sure I'm good first.
00:06:31.584 --> 00:06:35.725
I want you to please expand on pouring in the cup of others.
00:06:36.235 --> 00:06:50.480
Yeah, so, very simply, I had a boss, a two star admiral, who described this practice for me and he kind of put this in a nutshell right, so as we're junior, people pour into our cups, and as we grow, we grow, we pour into our cups.
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.783
We recline for more information, we're calling for more knowledge, and in between we start leading people right.
00:06:55.783 --> 00:07:03.204
But then, as we get to a certain point, right, our cups should be overflowing, and when that overflows, it should be falling down into the others.
00:07:03.204 --> 00:07:04.137
We should be given back.
00:07:04.137 --> 00:07:16.903
And so, to summarize, right, most 20 year successes are our most one night successes are 20 years in the making, and we should always be planting seeds for the shade of trees that we'll never sit under.
00:07:16.903 --> 00:07:19.963
And so, at the end of the day, that's what carries on.
00:07:20.035 --> 00:07:26.223
I'm big on degenerational wealth, and I don't mean that just like in a financial wealth, I mean like development and growth.
00:07:26.223 --> 00:07:38.487
So how can I carry the ball forward so that my son, my daughter, that person, that airman, that sailor, that marine, that whoever can carry the torch, pass the torch forward right and carry the ball forward.
00:07:38.487 --> 00:07:45.341
So I'm big in the pouring into others, because those are legacy is now just what you leave behind, but what others can accomplish because of you.
00:07:45.341 --> 00:07:53.461
And so how can I leave the bricks, how can I leave no stone on turn, so that other people don't have to do that work and they can propel them faster and further?
00:08:02.884 --> 00:08:05.649
Brett 744, my guy.
00:08:07.029 --> 00:08:07.651
I'm excited.
00:08:07.651 --> 00:08:09.728
I'm excited to be here and that's probably where he gets.
00:08:09.728 --> 00:08:12.940
I get amped up Like you got this hair sailor or whatever Ferris wheel in the background.
00:08:12.940 --> 00:08:13.341
I love it.
00:08:13.341 --> 00:08:14.004
I think it's in the shot.
00:08:15.817 --> 00:08:36.208
No, it's great, but it's like the banners, whatever we see on Facebook, where people post like a yellow banner but have some like motivational quote, so big shout out to Josh, absolutely.
00:08:36.208 --> 00:08:56.506
Or with ourselves sometimes, right, and I'm often in the past negative with myself and my thoughts.
00:08:56.506 --> 00:09:09.339
But as I started meditating and focusing on hey, here's some of the negative thoughts I had I would give myself, like here's two positive affirmations like hey, you changed four flat tires today.
00:09:10.302 --> 00:09:12.341
Right, or just something like that.
00:09:12.341 --> 00:09:35.561
Just because we, your dialogue that ignites a success mindset, because, like to me, you come across as someone who has a very positive mindset which drives your outward, the inner mindset which drives your outward success.
00:09:36.322 --> 00:09:36.563
Okay.
00:09:36.563 --> 00:09:39.342
So I think that's a very deep question.
00:09:39.342 --> 00:09:51.923
There's a lot of reflection in that question, so I'm very sensitive to that and what comes to mind and it's not in my notes, but it comes to mind immediately is this I'll share a story with you, and everybody knows I like talk through stories.
00:09:51.923 --> 00:09:54.860
So there was this young man.
00:09:54.860 --> 00:10:02.966
He wanted to go out trick or treating with his brothers and his parents told him no, he was too young, and the young man got extremely angry, extremely angry.
00:10:02.966 --> 00:10:08.339
He ran outside through the door and he punched a tree and he was punching this tree until his knuckles bleeding.
00:10:08.339 --> 00:10:25.441
Well, young man comes back inside, he goes upstairs and obviously he's upset, he's physically upset, he's crying, he's just in tears and his mother comes upstairs and she shares a Bible verse with him, and the Bible verse is he that conquers the city.
00:10:25.441 --> 00:10:30.325
He that conquers his soul is greater than one that conquers a city.
00:10:30.325 --> 00:10:39.625
And so that young man grew up to be Dwight Eisenhower and going into World War II that was actually one of his reflection points was that that verse.
00:10:41.097 --> 00:10:44.726
And so how can we conquer our souls on a daily basis?
00:10:44.726 --> 00:10:46.400
What are those things that I need to get over there?
00:10:46.400 --> 00:10:47.779
Where are those generational gaps?
00:10:47.779 --> 00:10:48.181
Where are those?
00:10:48.181 --> 00:10:51.322
Sometimes we connect the dots, looking forward, by looking backward.
00:10:51.322 --> 00:11:01.528
So we look back at the generational gaps, we look at the things that maybe our parents accomplished or our relatives or whoever is within our line, that support system or maybe not support system, maybe you don't have anything there.
00:11:01.528 --> 00:11:05.063
And then where are the first steps, incrementally, that can take to move forward?
00:11:05.695 --> 00:11:15.965
The Bible verse that I cling to is just as the water reflects the face, so does one's heart reflect your life, so motives shape perceptions with shape behaviors.
00:11:15.965 --> 00:11:22.921
So I believe deeply that our motives and our actions and behaviors are driven from what's in our heart, from what's in our why.
00:11:22.921 --> 00:11:32.721
And so understanding your purpose, understanding your why, understanding why you're here on this planet, understanding why you're doing certain actions, why you react to certain situations, is super huge.
00:11:32.721 --> 00:11:39.143
So self-awareness is curative curative in terms of putting things in order in your life and curative in terms of healing.
00:11:39.143 --> 00:11:44.258
So the more self-awareness I can get, the more than I can step in the gap with others and then pour into the cup of others.
00:11:46.745 --> 00:11:47.346
I love it, man.
00:11:47.346 --> 00:11:48.639
How many podcasts have you done?
00:11:48.839 --> 00:11:49.260
You know what?
00:11:49.260 --> 00:11:51.922
I think we're somewhere over 200.
00:11:51.922 --> 00:11:57.684
Yourself and Josh are the first invitations that I've actually taken.
00:11:58.206 --> 00:11:58.888
Maximize the moment.
00:11:58.888 --> 00:12:01.441
I know I mean, yeah, you guys have had a ton of.
00:12:01.441 --> 00:12:01.903
I saw them.
00:12:01.903 --> 00:12:04.100
It was definitely like I think 254 or something like that.
00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:06.299
When I looked it up, I know it's definitely over 200.
00:12:06.299 --> 00:12:09.562
But yeah, like guest wise, that's what I meant to ask you.
00:12:09.962 --> 00:12:10.644
So guest wise?
00:12:10.644 --> 00:12:11.826
No, so I'll speak.
00:12:11.826 --> 00:12:16.426
Like I said, I'll go to prisons, I'll go to ALS and I'll do all kinds of speaking.
00:12:16.426 --> 00:12:40.503
But as far as like podcasts, there have been people that have reached out but after, like, looking at Josh, looking at yourself, what you stand for, and that's why I kind of poke and prod, because we got to be principle driven, we got to be value driven and those principles are going to draw practices, so all the activities in which we follow through, and so I can appreciate shout out to Josh here in front, I appreciate the activities and stuff he's involved.
00:12:40.503 --> 00:13:05.023
I'll shout out to you, martin, because and that's why I say I'm super grateful and appreciative I think we share in the same value system as well as pouring into others, and so if we can highlight each other and edify each other, then I'm all about it and moving forward together, get your message out to more people.
00:13:05.525 --> 00:13:06.815
You're doing successful things.
00:13:06.815 --> 00:13:17.022
I mean it's, it's cool to see man Like, and I love the photo art that you had you have the hat on and you're like Superman, it looks I was like that's how I feel.
00:13:17.115 --> 00:13:20.504
I feel like I'm breaking out, but I want it to be value added.
00:13:20.504 --> 00:13:25.360
Right, I never want to be one just to talk, just to talk, and so that's part of stepping in a gap.
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:34.484
Sometimes listening is learning, and when we were at ASSA, the Navy chief he was talking to the command chief he was talking about be a learn it all, not a know it all.
00:13:34.484 --> 00:13:39.158
So the more that we can learn from each other, the more we can grow, and then, when it's time to speak, then we'll speak.
00:13:39.701 --> 00:13:40.846
Yeah, I remember that as well.
00:13:40.846 --> 00:13:46.000
Isom, I think, is this name and my career filled, Some active duty military, my career filled.
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.465
There's a lot of know-it-alls and I'm like all right team, like we got to settle down.
00:13:50.465 --> 00:13:54.331
Man, like not everyone knows everything, something else you know.
00:13:54.331 --> 00:13:56.485
You'd send me some show notes, but there's a couple.
00:13:56.485 --> 00:13:59.327
I had some topics that was like how can I incorporate the two?
00:13:59.327 --> 00:14:07.650
When you feel focused and overwhelmed, what do you do to kind of reset and regain, like your momentum?
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:13.288
So if I'm feeling off, then I usually know that I'm not moving in ruthless prioritization.
00:14:13.288 --> 00:14:17.187
So that was something one of my mentors has taught me like ruthless prioritization.
00:14:17.187 --> 00:14:19.948
We talked about work-life balance and all these things.
00:14:19.948 --> 00:14:23.424
I love what Jim Collins, who wrote Good to Great and Build to Last right.
00:14:23.424 --> 00:14:24.207
I listened to him.
00:14:24.207 --> 00:14:30.989
He did like an impromptu video, but he was talking about harmony, but in a percentage-wise right.
00:14:30.989 --> 00:14:37.748
So 50% of his day is dedicated to innovation and his job and whatnot, and 20% of his day is dedicated to his family.
00:14:37.748 --> 00:14:44.826
10% of that is managing white noise, and then the other 30% or 20% or whatever is left, is dedicated to creativity.
00:14:45.379 --> 00:14:50.886
And so if I know that I'm off or I'm feeling off tent like, where am I overcompensating?
00:14:50.886 --> 00:14:51.850
In one of those buckets?
00:14:51.850 --> 00:14:55.109
Like, am I not spending enough time with family?
00:14:55.109 --> 00:14:59.907
Am I not spending enough time in the word in the morning or reading books that are going to edify me?
00:14:59.907 --> 00:15:01.846
Am I not having meaningful conversations?
00:15:01.846 --> 00:15:03.385
Am I just go, go, go, go, go.
00:15:03.385 --> 00:15:13.230
So understanding, if I look at your checkbook and your calendar, then I know what you value, right, wherever you spend your money and wherever you spend your time, I know what you value.
00:15:13.230 --> 00:15:21.428
So where am I spending my money and where am I spending my time, and then reflecting on that, and that really will provide the answers that I need as far as where I'm spending my time.
00:15:21.428 --> 00:15:23.558
So so I don't make any money from this podcast.
00:15:24.602 --> 00:15:53.714
And I think when I did my outro for I did episode with Chad Goff, a chief master, chad Van Cleave I got us to give other people an opportunity and connect and share a message.
00:15:53.714 --> 00:15:56.427
So I spent a lot of money on podcasts and quit.
00:15:56.427 --> 00:15:58.364
I do like it.
00:15:58.364 --> 00:16:06.282
That's always fun when my wife sees a new Amazon box at the front door Separate from that, I love.
00:16:06.282 --> 00:16:08.288
I'm an eater, so I love to eat.
00:16:08.288 --> 00:16:11.179
I work out so I can eat and.
00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:16.644
But I love having a garage gym and I've spent a lot of money For the 15 years or so since I've had one.
00:16:16.644 --> 00:16:17.927
But I sent you a video.
00:16:17.927 --> 00:16:20.692
That's right, arnold was in the gym, arnold was in the gym.
00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:23.844
Yeah, I'm a big gym guy too and that's kind of shifted.
00:16:23.844 --> 00:16:27.730
I definitely have played athletics all over the world and stuff like that.
00:16:27.730 --> 00:16:31.609
So that was always kind of a stressful leaf, but I think more is.
00:16:31.609 --> 00:16:34.465
I'm in this season of learning and growing.
00:16:34.465 --> 00:16:39.370
One thing I like to share with people is obviously never let life happen to you.
00:16:39.370 --> 00:16:40.722
And so where does that come from?
00:16:40.722 --> 00:16:49.889
Is life was happening to me when I was at Scott Air Force Base and I was managing things, shout out to the MDT that was there at that time and the leadership at that time.
00:16:50.879 --> 00:17:00.647
But I was working all these long hours and we're trying to pilot a program and try to do new things and I was like I'm not getting my gym time in, right, I'm not de-stressing, I'm not getting that you stress, that I need.
00:17:00.647 --> 00:17:09.348
And so I decided to get up very early in the morning, just like you talked about 4am, right, and I was getting up at 4am and I would go to the 24 seven gym at Scott.
00:17:09.348 --> 00:17:13.569
And for the first two weeks I was kind of disoriented.
00:17:13.569 --> 00:17:17.086
I didn't really lift in the morning, I really wasn't paying attention to my environment.
00:17:17.086 --> 00:17:31.384
But after that two weeks, and that ambiguity cleared, I started seeing who was in the gym, and it was the wing commander, and it was a trans count commander and it was the chief, and it was these people that were the top 1% According to our military structure.
00:17:31.384 --> 00:17:35.890
And so it made me think a lot about how I orient my mornings.
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:43.445
And so one thing I like to like, I like to tell young airmen or people in general start your day before you start your day.
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:55.566
So I'm big on reading or working out in the morning, but I preferably like read the Bible, and then I read something that is going to help me learn, whether it's on the business side, cyber side, whatever the case is, and if I can get a workout in, cool.
00:17:55.566 --> 00:17:58.116
But I start my day before my start my day.
00:17:58.116 --> 00:18:08.486
I always like start edifying my mind or putting something that's going to challenge me at first, and then, by the time I'm stepping into work, I'm already locked and loaded and they're like what was this guy coming from?
00:18:08.486 --> 00:18:13.086
Well, I started two, three hours ago, right, and so there's a method to that.
00:18:13.086 --> 00:18:17.988
Like I said, in the 1% we're in the gym and if, if I was like, what's the delta?
00:18:17.988 --> 00:18:27.510
And so they were starting their day, they got their days are just full, chock full of their calendars and stuff, right, and so that's one tip I would give people is don't let life happen to you.
00:18:27.510 --> 00:18:30.368
Start your day before you start your day, and you'll be ready to go.
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.130
But I do legs on Monday and Monday mornings right.
00:18:34.130 --> 00:18:39.089
So there's something about squats on a Monday, but it it sucks.
00:18:39.089 --> 00:18:46.528
But it makes the rest of the week easier, because that to me is going to be one of the hardest things, especially I live in Ohio and the winter time it gets cold.
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.064
Much like Maryland right.
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:54.761
But man doing squats on a Monday morning when it's, you know, 25 degrees outside, but I felt like it just makes me tougher.
00:18:55.242 --> 00:18:55.742
I love it.
00:18:55.742 --> 00:18:57.566
Yeah, mark Twain says eat the frog.
00:18:57.566 --> 00:18:59.048
Right, that's right, he sure.
00:18:59.048 --> 00:18:59.749
Yeah, that's right.
00:18:59.749 --> 00:19:00.609
The hardest part.
00:19:04.280 --> 00:19:06.259
I'm like Clever Lane and Rocky three doing like pull ups on the beam and I'm training.
00:19:06.259 --> 00:19:06.982
I'm proud of you, man.
00:19:06.982 --> 00:19:11.990
I think this is the blossom of a new friendship relationship.
00:19:11.990 --> 00:19:15.266
A year from now, we're going to meet up.
00:19:15.266 --> 00:19:16.763
I want you to think about this.
00:19:16.763 --> 00:19:20.186
Okay, so a year from now, we'll both be at AFSA, or maybe AFA next year.
00:19:20.186 --> 00:19:25.268
We're celebrating, we're, we're having a enjoying steak.
00:19:25.268 --> 00:19:26.867
All right, what's your?
00:19:26.867 --> 00:19:27.558
What's your go to?
00:19:28.502 --> 00:19:29.987
I'm a big pizza and wings guy.
00:19:30.027 --> 00:19:32.194
Okay, we're we're having pizza and wings.
00:19:32.194 --> 00:19:34.486
We're we're super excited.
00:19:34.486 --> 00:19:38.505
It's, it's a joyous occasion.
00:19:38.505 --> 00:19:43.122
We're celebrating yeah, all right, what a year from now?
00:19:43.122 --> 00:19:44.046
What are we celebrating?
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.125
How we got 365% better Ooh.
00:19:47.726 --> 00:19:48.086
That's good.
00:19:48.267 --> 00:19:50.150
That's it, 1% every day.
00:19:50.150 --> 00:19:52.354
Chris Nickick, that's my man.
00:19:52.354 --> 00:19:54.906
I don't know if you've heard the story, chris Nickick, that's my guy.
00:19:54.906 --> 00:19:58.082
So, chris Nickick, so have you?
00:19:58.082 --> 00:19:59.948
You've heard of the Iron man Marathon?
00:19:59.948 --> 00:20:00.609
Of course you have.
00:20:00.609 --> 00:20:02.826
Yeah, so athlete, right, athlete.
00:20:02.826 --> 00:20:11.063
Iron man is obviously one of the toughest competitions that is out there, besides for David Goggins, right, cause he just kills everything but he's not human.
00:20:11.945 --> 00:20:13.782
He takes souls, like if you've heard his book.
00:20:13.782 --> 00:20:15.709
But yeah, chris, nick.
00:20:15.709 --> 00:20:16.804
So back to the Iron man.
00:20:16.804 --> 00:20:21.569
Yeah, 112 mile bike ride, two mile swim, 26 mile run.
00:20:21.569 --> 00:20:29.086
Chris Nickick was the first person with downstreams room to complete the Iron man and he did this in 16 hours.
00:20:29.086 --> 00:20:35.147
He gets to the end of the run, everybody's cheering and they're like, hey, what are you going to do next, chris?
00:20:35.147 --> 00:20:37.425
And he's like I'm going to get 1% better.
00:20:37.425 --> 00:20:39.040
That's his.
00:20:39.040 --> 00:20:42.369
Why is every day I'm going to get 1% better.
00:20:42.369 --> 00:20:46.650
So we're going to meet here at AFA and another beautiful view next year.
00:20:46.650 --> 00:20:50.308
And how did we get 365% better?
00:20:50.308 --> 00:20:51.141
How did?
00:20:51.141 --> 00:20:58.567
Every day we took that incremental step to get better and better, and better and better, and so we're celebrating 365%.
00:20:58.607 --> 00:21:01.204
better, it might be the name of this episode.
00:21:01.204 --> 00:21:05.067
Hey, wrapping up, I have some miscellaneous questions.
00:21:05.067 --> 00:21:06.584
There's no rhyme or reason.
00:21:06.584 --> 00:21:08.445
I just I'd like to have fun.
00:21:08.445 --> 00:21:11.086
I like to ask these on podcasts and I do switch them up.
00:21:11.086 --> 00:21:16.869
What's a random question you would ask at dinner to a?
00:21:16.910 --> 00:21:17.290
stranger.
00:21:17.290 --> 00:21:32.063
I ran the question that I would ask a dinner a guest at strange what would be something random, I don't know, I'm really so.
00:21:32.063 --> 00:21:33.307
Right now it's football season.
00:21:33.307 --> 00:21:35.384
What's your favorite football team?
00:21:35.765 --> 00:21:38.567
Okay, let me switch it up on you.
00:21:38.567 --> 00:21:43.017
You're having a dinner party and the entree, or entrees, are pizza and wings.
00:21:43.017 --> 00:21:44.763
But it's real classy dinner party.
00:21:44.763 --> 00:21:48.506
You can invite five guests, past or present.
00:21:48.506 --> 00:21:50.290
Who are they?
00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:58.891
Jesus Gandhi MLK, my father and.
00:22:01.074 --> 00:22:01.894
Winston Churchill.
00:22:01.894 --> 00:22:05.769
I quote him a lot, winston Churchill.
00:22:05.769 --> 00:22:07.705
So yeah that's good.
00:22:07.705 --> 00:22:13.996
In the last five years, what new belief or habit besides the 1% gym?
00:22:13.996 --> 00:22:17.067
What new belief or habit has most improved your life?
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.604
That's a tough one because there are so many.
00:22:20.604 --> 00:22:32.523
Right now I'm locked into the domino.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:01.723
00:00:01.723 --> 00:00:07.261
00:00:07.261 --> 00:00:13.801
00:00:13.801 --> 00:00:21.088
00:00:21.088 --> 00:00:24.000
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.138
00:00:30.138 --> 00:00:34.408
00:00:34.408 --> 00:00:38.481
00:00:38.481 --> 00:00:42.424
00:00:42.424 --> 00:02:29.868
00:02:29.868 --> 00:02:30.610
00:02:31.132 --> 00:02:32.860
00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:33.361
00:02:33.361 --> 00:02:36.235
00:02:36.235 --> 00:02:37.723
00:02:37.723 --> 00:02:40.993
00:02:40.993 --> 00:02:42.437
00:02:42.837 --> 00:02:56.443
00:02:56.443 --> 00:03:00.116
00:03:00.116 --> 00:03:01.580
00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:09.217
00:03:09.217 --> 00:03:11.973
00:03:12.054 --> 00:03:13.838
00:03:13.838 --> 00:03:28.718
00:03:28.718 --> 00:03:33.872
00:03:33.872 --> 00:03:39.844
00:03:39.844 --> 00:04:13.855
00:04:14.176 --> 00:04:17.288
00:04:17.288 --> 00:04:19.297
00:04:19.297 --> 00:04:20.362
00:04:20.362 --> 00:04:22.108
00:04:22.129 --> 00:04:28.473
00:04:28.473 --> 00:04:34.833
00:04:34.833 --> 00:04:43.627
00:04:43.627 --> 00:04:45.759
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:46.927
00:04:46.927 --> 00:04:56.774
00:04:56.894 --> 00:04:59.461
00:04:59.461 --> 00:05:19.350
00:05:19.350 --> 00:05:30.535
00:05:30.535 --> 00:05:33.040
00:05:33.302 --> 00:05:34.773
00:05:34.773 --> 00:05:40.290
00:05:40.290 --> 00:05:50.531
00:05:50.752 --> 00:05:57.668
00:05:57.668 --> 00:06:14.752
00:06:25.105 --> 00:06:27.591
00:06:27.591 --> 00:06:31.584
00:06:31.584 --> 00:06:35.725
00:06:36.235 --> 00:06:50.480
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.783
00:06:55.783 --> 00:07:03.204
