Welcome to this episode of the Growth Cast. It is me, Jackson Campbell. Joined again with Dallas Pruitt for another Extended Cut episode this beautiful Saturday. We are joined here together actually on a Saturday morning. Dallas, you're getting ready to, you're getting ready to leave on a big a big hunt.

It's actually been gold. Yours. So we jumped in a week ago. Add to the wire. We jumped into a week prior to get this bad boy recorded. But we are excited to be here. Dallas, how are you? This. Dude, I'm doing so great. Me and you guys don't know this, but me and Jackson we're able to jump on and gain clarity and go through all the things that we go through and teach on a regular basis.

Cuz again, we're with it. Like we're not just teaching it, we're with it. We're trying to become better ourselves. And yeah, it's just something I look forward to, man. Find you a friend like Jackson Campbell, Tyler says that often. I will find you somebody who is. Meaning this stuff the same way, we all are.

And can't underestimate the power of having somebody by your side that you can, riff with yourself and work through some problems and challenges and things that you're experiencing and look for clarity and find answers and solutions and think outside the box and grow together.

I don't know. I appreciate that's be a different way to lead off, but no, dude, I appreciate that so much. And it is a really, it is. I appreciate that Dallas. Thank you so much, dude. But it also is a really good actionable, right dude. I like having Dallas to be able to riff things off of when I'm frustrated or when I've, maybe when I've caught myself in my own fixed mindset.

Just to be able to have that conversation and hold each other accountable. Our Dallas aren't, Super easy conversations to have. No, sometimes I gotta call you out on your shit. Sometimes you gotta call me out on my shit. And that's just is what it is. So before we dive in, that's what I was gonna say about it, man, is it's not a friend that you go to and they're like, oh man.

Like I know. It's tough yeah, no, that's not what our conversations look like. It's not a pat on the back of although there is validation of feelings, right? Like we're totally, we're entitled to feel a certain way about things, but we don't get stuck in those feelings. We're literally trying to grind through, gaining clarity so that we can feed our growth mindset within the circumstances and situations we find ourself in on our journey.

And so that's what I love about it is, and again, the invite is to find a friend that's not just gonna be like, Hey, You're right. Like I you're amazing. You're awesome. You're this. It's no, I know Jackson's that's exactly why I'm coming to him. I know that I'm capable too. I literally need somebody to have a hard conversation with me.

I need somebody to help me grind through some problems and speak truth, not speak to my feelings, validate 'em. Sure. But I don't need somebody to pat me on the back. And, and I just think that's one of the most important pieces to, to that whole piece is find somebody like, I couldn't agree more.

It's been a massive tool and he and thing that I've used in my growth. And I know that you've done the same dude, and I know that Tyler does the same too with both of us. It's a powerful thing for sure. Find yourself a friend and it actually leads into what we're gonna talk about today.

Before we get into the actual topic today, just a quick reminder. To like share, rate, review, wherever it is that you're listening to the podcast. So we can gain more followers, gain more listeners. We want to impact as many people as possible. So by y'all doing that and sharing the episode it helps us with our purpose which is to help you'all with your purpose.

Can I add one more to the intro? Yes, absolutely. And also if you're looking to attend Peak, which you should, we want you there. Jackson and myself are gonna be there. There's gonna be a lot of other high level individuals looking to connect and move their businesses and their lives forward with more growth and more opportunity and everything else.

There are links in the description for peak. There are links in the description to invest with us as part of MF Capital Partners, and Jackson can speak more to that, the fund and everything else. The book of the Month, right Mindset by Carol Dweck. We've embedded a direct link so you can go grab that, that copy and add it to your library.

And you'll also see that we have some new things we'll be launching out this year that are coming out very soon. And you can find all of those moving. In the show descriptions every single day. And that's always an actionable and always an invite is to learn with us, invest with us, join us, be a part of this growing community, and find ways in which you can continually adopt, feed, live, this growth mindset and all the things that, that you do.

Description? No. Yes. Thank you for adding that for. Can't wait for peak. Peak is gonna be a powerful event. We're gonna be there. We may even have some growth cast type stuff at the event, so definitely look for us while you're there. But like Dallas is saying definitely reach out if you have any interest in educating yourself in multi-family real estate.

If you have capital you need to put to work please reach out to us and multi-Family Capital Partners as well. We can definitely put that capital to work for you. But let's dive in here. Now. Let's dive in, Matt. So last week we talked about how we're going to be starting a new topic, Uhhuh this year moving forward.

And we're gonna pick a book pick a book of the month, and then each extended cut, we're gonna talk about some sort of principle that's within this book. Last week we broke down four steps to adopt living and having a growth mindset. Today from the Book Mindset by Carol Dweck, that's the book of the month.

This month, if you aren't reading it, definitely challenge you to grab that book and give it a read. Give it a listen. It's a fantastic book. Last week we talked about the four steps to adopting and living a growth mindset. Today we're gonna break down the differences between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset and put in some actionables that you, yeah, we almost got ahead of ourselves, didn't we?

It was like we almost didn't break down a super important piece prior to moving into, but I'm glad you caught that. You caught us in error ridden thinking. So let's retrace our steps and bring some clarity to the, for. Awesome. Let's do it. Dow. Fixed mindset and a growth mindset. As we dive in, as we dive in here, I want to hear your.

Just, yeah, definition of a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. But I also wanna make sure that we pull out some actionables that we can use to identify that we're having a fixed mindset and what we can do when we're having a fixed mindset to get us back to a growth mindset. But go ahead. Do you have anything you wanted to start off with?

Yeah, so I could give a basic definition and I will here in just a second, like a super direct definition of what a fixed mindset is, but I like to relate it to. Something that is very just tangible for people in life, like something that maybe people have experienced before. So I'll speak to an experience that I had early on in my life where, when I think of a fixed mindset, this is where I go, right?

Based off the definition, I'll share the definition. The definition is that of a fixed mindset. Is that Intelligence, your IQ is static. That, that it has a certain threshold, it has a ceiling and in certain areas of life. And once you meet that there's no more learning. There's no more development.

And that, that, that's a pretty basic simple way to think of it. And going back to childhood, I was somebody who really hat. Math, like I had really ill feelings towards math. I'm sure like a lot of kids. And I remember when it started to get difficult algebra, right numbers and letters and new signs and things like that.

Multi-step equations was really where my fits started to like. Like things just started to really piss me off in math at that stage. And I remember coming home and I remember my mom and dad telling me very this is so weird that this is like such a core memory of mine. I remember I went to my mom and I said, mom, I need some help on math.

And she said, oh, Dang. She looked at it and she was like, sweetie, I'll be honest. I can't help you with this. And I was like that, that doesn't work, . And she was like I can't help you like honey, you need to know like us Pruitts, we're not good at math. And I was like, oh, sweet. Like I started to navigate and feel.

open to the idea I got an excuse now. Yeah and then I went to my dad and it was the same thing. He literally gave me almost verbatim the same response. He chuckled and was like, what the hell is this? Who, Who's giving you this? And I'm like, my teacher. And he's this is useless.

I can't help you. Sorry. That's Pru. We're not good at math.  and I just remember being able to justify lackluster effort from that point forward math when it comes to math. In math. Yeah like everything else was great. Writing like all the other subjects and what it did there too.

What it did there too, real quick that I wanna point out. What it did there too was just, it justified the difficulty. Yeah. It justified it with being diffi. Like it's okay that it's hard. It's just hard for. So it's just gonna continue to be hard and it's not gonna get any easier because we're not good at it.

And, but it also diverted like any, sound thinking around like anything that involved math. Yes. So I don't even just mean like math class, but like at a young age there were things about me that I started to weed out of my. O options banking because you weren't good at it, because that was a, there was a mindset to do dude investing, right?

Is that relatable for us here it involves money and numbers. And it was like, I started, little did I really not know at the time I was creating this super negative relationship with money because money involved numbers and business and entrepreneurship like this is really crazy for me to even speak it out loud because dude, you've known me for quite some time I like, this is not me tooting my own horn, but dude, I thrive in this space.

This is me. Yeah, this is me now. I'm not set in my bed saying I can't be anything else, but like I delayed a lot of time in my life diving into something that I thought wasn't, or had created the decision long before and got stuck in the fixed mentality and had decided that it wasn. For me. Why?

Because I am, me and numbers have a ceiling with me. Math has a ceiling with me, and it's just this, it that, that's what a fixed mentality is. Whereas a growth mindset in that, one, we can even stay stuck on that specific example. A growth mindset is the truth that intelligence IQ can be developed right across all fronts.

I did not have that belief. Like I didn't even know what a fixed mindset was. I was stuck for years in a fixed mentality. Now I got to college and I had, what's crazy is like you started to grasp it a little bit. I had to take math 10 10 and then math 10 50 and I had to get a tu, I got a tutor.

Yeah. And a tutor helped me and I. A 10, 10, 10 50 class combined. And because I just wanted to get all my math out of the way, for that bachelor's degree. Anyways, I got through it and I grew and I learned that oh my gosh, I actually can learn a little bit here. And there were like these little glimpses, these little windows where it was like, oh, like where I started to taste a growth mindset, in my college experience in that specific lane of my life.

And what's crazy though I'll bring this up and then we can go to questions and dive even further into this, Jax, but it's like there's areas of. Again, re relating this back to the listeners right now, that to all of you is, there might be some really hard challenges in your life where you've already fell into that trap, but think about something you're good at that excites you, where you've seen progress.

Do you act the same? Do you make the same kinds of beds for yourself in those areas? And the answer typically is no. The answer typically is no. Yeah. I have an example. So one of those areas for me was baseball. I was skilled. I had some athleticism. I wasn't like a premier athlete or anything, but I had some skill sets there and I saw some success and I had some confidence through that success and progress that I see.

That I saw. And, but again let's trace it even further back. What was my dad? My dad was an ex division one baseball player. And what was the stories that I, what were the stories that I was told as a child Hey, you wanna know what us Prutz are good. Baseball your uncle played in the minors.

Hadn't it been for some drug addiction and whatever, like we'd probably be watching him on tv. Yeah, your pops was fast as shit. And he, returned, was a punt returner and a kickoff returner and all these things, and football and in baseball he played shortstop. And it's I just got this motor rolling and it was like, I remember from a young age, it was like, dude, you're destined to be a baseball player and you're good at it, you're good at baseball.

And it was like this intelligence, right? This part of my brain. Tapped into something which was a growth mindset in that space. Why? One, because a perpetuated story was told to me about me, had a, that I decided was true. You had a belief. You had a belief that was, but two, I had a belief that I could be developed in that space.

And so my actions, my effort, everything else matched everything there. And I worked damn hard at baseball. Yeah. And I saw lots of progress in baseball. My belief system in that space. Was a lot higher than my belief system somewhere else. But again, coming back to growth mindset and fixed mindset, it does not differ.

The differentiate meaning it doesn't matter whether you're good or bad at something through a talent that you were blessed with, right? Like from birth or genetics or whatever, a story. Yeah. You can and should and need to adopt the right type of mentality within every single circumstance and situation that you're ever facing.

The truth is, the true principle is that IQ intelligence is something that can be developed anywhere, anytime. In any circumstance, in any situation, and you can literally go out and do whatever the hell you want and get better at it. Sure. Like you gotta look to reality. I'm not gonna go out and play the, in the majors right now at 35, play baseball, but man, By health.

I can't make progress by health. I can't figure things out at a really high level if I just give time and energy to whatever it is that I want to develop. And that all starts right here, making a decision and understanding that the truth is I can develop myself to become whatever the hell I want to become, right?

And I can become good at whatever I decide I wanna become good at. It just takes time and effort, and it takes the right perspective in all these different, areas of life.  things pop up, challenges, setbacks, and we talked about that last week. Success of others, right? The way we view effort and all those other things.

And but it's that, but it's that initial belief, come back to it all the way to a very simple thing. It's just the actual belief system.  Of i, my, my intelligence and my brain, and my body and my skills, and who I am as a person can and should be. Ongoing forever throughout the course of time.

And I should use my agency to decide how I, how and what I want to get better at. And it's just that first initial belief system don't ever. So I don't know. While you were, no awesome man. While you were giving those two examples, you said something that really stuck out to me, really stuck out to me.

And it really comes back to having a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. And that moment a challenge pops up. You have the. To just to make the decision on how, what attitude you're gonna have to face that challenge. Yeah. You said, while you were giving that example, you said, do you have the same sort of excitement, attitude, energy going into a challenge that's difficult?

As you do of as when a challenge that is something that you like to do pops up. For example, you gave the two examples of math and baseball the challenge popped up in baseball. Do, how did you act? Oh, dude. I was the first guy that played, there was a guy in high school, his name was Mark Pollock.

He got drafted in the first round and people were scared shitless of him in high school because he threw 95 miles an hour as a high school kid. You saw challenges. But when I saw that, that got me excited to get into the plate. Like I literally, Two, every single at bat just jacked to go out and grow.

And I, because I believed that I could compete, I believed that I could produce, and the higher the skills grew, the more excited I became. Non-math dude. Like I was shitting bricks when I had to go take my 10, 10, 10 50 test at the university Yeah. get a C and make sure that I like, got credit for the class and I could move on to graduation.

I. I hated that. I did not run, if you like. If I could have diverted away from it, even in that moment, I would've been like, oh, pu, if you could have made myself, if you could have made the decision in that moment to have the same attitude towards math that you did towards facing this picture that it ended up playing in the bigs, do you think that math would've been a lot quicker?

A lot easier, and. I think if I could have tapped, I, I don't even just think, I absolutely know that if I could have tapped into my growth mindset and really understood it at a much higher level when I was 16 years old in math versus versus how the long, how long that onslaught, lasted be between then and when I figured it out.

Maybe my life's entirely different financially. I think my life would be different. Yeah. I think that my decisions would've been impacted. Am I grateful for all the things that have transpired because of not figuring out? Absolutely. Absolutely. But to say that it wouldn't be different like, Time would only tell how different that would be.

It's just a great example to, it's just a great example to, to pull from man. It's be excited about these challenges. I think that's what we're trying to pull out here is like when these challenges do pop up, don't run from these challenges, have a abundant growth mindset that you are capable, that you're able to do that.

It reminds me of this section in the book. Do you mind if I read this section? Read it. Yeah. Read. So from the book, growth Mindset or Mindset by Carol Duw. Again, if you're not reading this, definitely grab it and read it or add it. At least add it to your list. If you're already reading something that's awesome, proud of you for reading, but at least add it to your list.

It's a fantastic book if you haven't read it. But this section says the following. It's right in line with what we're talking about. People are all born with love of learning, but the fixed mindset can undo it. Think of a time you are enjoying something, doing a crossword puzzle, playing a sport, learning a new dance.

Then it becomes hard and you want it. Maybe you suddenly felt tired, dizzy, bored, or hungry. Next time this happens, don't fool yourself. It's the fixed mindset. Put yourself in the growth mindset. Picture your brain forming new connections as you meet the challenge and learn. Keep going. So these same challenges that pop up in things that we enjoy to do, it's very easy to push these wants and these feelings of, oh, I gotta quit.

I, I gotta stop. I gotta s I gotta seek safety and seek comfort when we're doing something we like, what's very easy to push those things to the side? Yeah. Because we're growing and we can see it. But even when it pops up for, like in this example, you're doing math even when it does pop up of where you're tired or dizzy or bored or hungry.

Remember that is the fixed mindset. Try what it is and what a fixed mindset is. Dude is trying to keep you safe, right? It's trying to keep, it's trying to a prison, it's trying a lot of times. Fixed mindset leads to desire to look smart. When at times you're wrong, right? It's captivity like I don't wanna sugarcoat it.

A fixed mindset is captivity. It's cap mindset is prison, right? And growth mindset. Growth mindset is abundant. When I think of growth mindset, I can't see, like I think of when I hear growth mindset, it automatically changes in my mind to an abundant mindset that the options are endless free will freedom i that my ability to overcome.

Problems and find solutions to difficult. Is endless, it's abundant that, but also like it's on you. You get to decide absolutely what the future looks like. You get to decide what you do with your life. You get to decide what you're good at. You get to decide what gets your time and your energy and where you're gonna, benefit from the compounding effect and all these things, right?

Like freedom, the growth mindset is free will. The growth mindset is freedom and making that decision to, to dive in deeper to. To solve this problem. So I wanted just to, from that little section in the book, I just wanted to give a challenge to everybody this next week as y'all are working, as y'all are working hard, you look up at the clock and it's maybe, it's, maybe it's three o'clock in the afternoon and you're tired and you don't wanna work anymore.

Remember That's the fixed mindset telling you to seek refuge, seek safety, seek comfort when in really, when in reality you're working to create a better life and a better something for yourself. So keep that abundant mentality and that growth mindset at the forefront as these challenges pop up.

Being able to hunker down and continue towards your goals is really what's gonna set you apart and help you develop a growth mindset in everything you do. Oh man. So that would be my, that would be my challenge for everybody this upcoming week. This was a, this is another little excerpt that I wanted to share from the book that ties perfectly into today.

And there's some actionables la actionables laced in this and. Carol Wex said, we often see books with titles like the 10, and this is very applicable to hear because of what we do and what we talk about, right? We often see books with titles like The 10 Secrets of the World's Most Successful People Crowding the Shelves of Bookstores.

Or you hear those on things like the podcast, even our podcast at times, right? And these books may give useful tips, but they're usually a list of unconnected pointers, take more risks or believe in yourself. Believe in yourself, right? While you're left admiring people who can actually do that. It's never clear how these things fit together or how you could ever become that way.

So you're in inspired for a few days, but basically the world's most successful people still have their secrets. And maybe you felt that way before, right? But instead as you begin to understand the fixed growth mindset, or sorry, the fixed and growth mindsets, which what is what we're trying to do this month at a really high level and always right, you will see exactly how one thing leads to another, how a belief.

Which is what we talked about today, that your qualities are carved in stone leads to a host of thoughts and actions and how a belief that your qualities can be cultivated leads to a host of different thoughts and actions taking you down an entirely different road. We talk about how, you know at M F M, we talk about how we're a mindset first company, right?

Thoughts produce, we say. We say thoughts. Actions, or sorry, thoughts. Produce feelings and feelings, produce actions and really that's, we wonder why we're so passionate about growth mindset. It's because of this. It's because we're not in the business of just sharing cool secrets with you.

We're in the business of helping weaponize and empower you. We're in the business of helping you be able to be your. Powerful weapon. Not some book, not some article, not some other tactic. But literally you tapping into you truly the highest version and potential that you have as a person.

And throughout the course of my career, there is one thing that I have found that allows people to do just that, and then everything else. Additional, right? Everything else is bonus. Everything else adds too. And that is mindset. That is understanding this. This one empowering, freaking unbelievable truth that, and she put it perfectly here.

Instead, as you begin to understand the fixed and growth mindset, you will see exactly how one thing leads to another. First, you have to figure that out. And then how a belief that your qualities are carved in stone leads to a host of thoughts and. No longer is that right? It's a belief that your qualities, your skills, you as a person, your business, whatever, can be cultivated, leads to a host of a.

Bunch a million other new and better and different thoughts. And those thoughts produce amazing feelings of hope and freedom and all the things that we just talked about, which ultimately make you act and behave like a completely and utterly different person in math, in baseball, parenting, or whatever the hell else you wanna be really good at.

Awesome. Dallas. Powerful. So powerful. As we wrap up here today, again, just a challenge to everybody to live, do and feed a growth mindset. It a growth mindset like Dallas has always said, like Ty says I try to say as much as I can. Is it hap it's strategic. It happens by design. A lot of times when challenges pop up, all you really need to do is slow down and make a decision to have a growth mindset Slow.

Make a decision to have a growth and abundant mindset when you're leading into these things and like Dallas just got done reviewing, it will affect every aspect of your life. If you can really adopt this mindset and have it, it will affect every single decision you make, every relationship you have, and every aspect of your life.

It's seriously a principle that's life changing. I'm so glad we're starting January with this book. Yeah. It's been a fun one to start off with. It is such a good one to dive into to set the year off right here. Now is there anything else you wanted to add from today's studies that you wanted to share?

Yeah, you just reviewed it. I would just go back and if you need to go back but just to quickly review Yeah, just steps, right? Like understanding.  that again, from last week leading into further detail this week and a deeper dive is you, a fixed mindset dwells in all of us.

And just knowing that is empowering, right? And then being able to recognize the triggers that, like whether it's math for you right now, like me, or a conversation with a parent, which also was part of my situation and experience, right? Or whatever it is. Recognize when those triggers pop.

That your fixed mindset's bleeding to the forefront. And then we talked about giving it a name and then literally like ongoing. Educating it. Educating yourself ongoing, becoming your most powerful tool for change, becoming the most powerful tool you need for success. Like literally, that's you. You are the most powerful tool, and that's how you become that most powerful tool is by being able to proficiently go through.

Day-to-day, every day. And it's not that you're hyper-focused on it and stressed out, it's just literally like cultivating your skillset ongoing around those. And I think about you and I think about since the day I met you the first time versus where you're at now. You know how to do that. You know how to proficiently do that because why?

Why do I know? One, I've seen a lot of change in you, but two. You helped me . You talk about that conversation, let's bring it all back full circle to the very beginning and say, Hey, go find you a friend like Jackson. Like I know because when I need help and I'm stuck in error written thinking, you wanna know who my dude is.

That helps me. It's Jackson Campbell, and there's other people in my life that are just that same way, but that's how I know. And appreci appreciate that man. Just a quick review as we bust that out and, tune back in next week. We got more to add to this book of the month. I think we're gonna take a little bit different take next week.

Maybe even hone in on something like relationships or. Business, very business oriented episode next week for the Growth Mindset piece with this book of Mindset by Carol Dweck. But I just like the trajectory we're on this year. I love all the things that have come to life via the growth cast, and we are just getting started.

Absolutely stay tuned, Dallas. Thank you so much for those kind words, man. I appreciate you and everything that you've done for me and my life, and I know that all the listeners are also very grateful for the daily drips that you do every single day for diving in deep with me on these Saturday extended cuts.

Your efforts are noticed and I'm very grateful for them. So thank you my man. Appreciate you. Love you. Appreciate and love all of our listeners as. Thank you for tuning in. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing, leaving us a review, giving us a rating. We appreciate y'all. Have a great rest of your weekend and we will see you back again next week.
