Transcript

Philip Sessions: 0:15

What's going on, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Speaking Sessions podcast. I am your public speaking coach, phillip, here to help you with all things public speaking and communication, and we've got an amazing person on the podcast today. His name is Patrick Story, and this guy has transformed completely. So if you're one of those people that thinks that they shouldn't do video content, that they're afraid of video content, you need to listen to this episode today, because we're going to go through Patrick's transformation over really just about a month and a half, of him going from not doing videos, or very seldom doing videos, to being really comfortable with those videos. And so Patrick is the owner of Vigor Chiropractic and he has a new podcast that he's coming out with called Becoming Vigorous, which, yes, we're going to get into that, because that seems kind of bizarre how he was afraid of videos and now how he's going to do a podcast. But, patrick, welcome to the podcast. Tell us a little bit more about yourself.

Patrick Storey: 1:21

Yeah, I appreciate you having me on. So, like you said, I'm a mobile chiropractor here in the Greenville area and, like you said, I'm going to start having a new podcast series, some solo, you know episodes, but also other ones where I'm going to have people on and more specific kind of called Table Talk, where we're going to sit and chat and give some people some traits and some tips on how to become vigorous, and vigorous itself means to be strong, healthy and full of energy, so just different ways that they can, as a business owner or as an individual, how they can become vigorous. So that's kind of my idea behind it and it's going to be really exciting. So look forward to that.

Philip Sessions: 2:07

Nice, yeah, I'm looking forward to it as well. I know we've talked about this. I'm looking forward to getting on the podcast too, not just listening, but being a part of that and that journey and everything. But let's go back into your journey real quick and talk about this, because really this started about a month and a half ago. But I'm sure there's more backstory to this journey of you getting into videos and everything. So I would love for you to open us up with what that looked like for you before you started doing videos and then, once you started doing them and kind of where you're at now, yeah, so I always wanted and I always knew that I should get on video.

Patrick Storey: 2:47

And it was just, I don't know, I guess it was not necessarily fear, but it was just like what do I say? How do I say it? There was different things going through my head. And then you put out that challenge, the 30 day challenge, to get on live for two minutes. And it was just like you know what, let me try it.

Patrick Storey: 3:09

A nd so the first day I didn't know what, I was just anxious, I didn't know it count, like that was my first time going live, like me myself, like I've gone live before but I've had the camera the other way and I forgot that it had the countdown, the three, two, one, and I was like, oh gosh, oh gosh, here we go. And then I didn't know what to say. So I was just, like you know, rambling on and I think maybe four or five days in it became easier and easier. The countdown just kind of came on. I was like, hey, here we go. And so it just got easier and easier. And now I like that I've always wanted to do a podcast and it just got me to think more of like okay, I can do this. You know, it's not that bad.

Philip Sessions: 3:58

Okay, so let's go back to the beginning. So you mentioned and I've been the same way, or I was when I did my first podcast, I was like, oh man, I want to do a podcast, sat on literally this microphone for about a year after I had purchased it and did nothing with it, and I finally went to an event and said, hey, how do I start a podcast? And the guy was like, just start. And I'm like, well, yeah, I do, but what do I do? And he ended up going into some detail with me about some things that I could do, but at the end of the day, I just had to take action on starting a podcast. And so, with you, what was in your mind? And how long was this? Where you were like, man, I should start doing videos. I really need to start doing videos before you actually start at doing them.

Patrick Storey: 4:45

Oh man, it's been probably years. You know, I've always worked for someone else too, so I never really had to do it, but I still wanted to do it anyways and I just never got the courage to do it until, I guess, the challenge, really, and like that, I had the ring, light and everything and I just got the mic. But, like, through the challenge, I was like, you know, get a mic because I want to do a podcast. Anyways, it was just like it's always been on my mind and I always wanted to give people value other than being in person. You know, if they're a patient, whatever, like, I want to help people have actual things that they can relate to and like actually use. So that's why I wanted to, you know, get on and do more video. The video, too, is, just like always, like I don't know, I'm sure everyone gets it, but they don't like seeing themselves, they don't like hearing themselves. So it was always that too, and so being on it and hearing myself more and more is just like who cares, you know.

Philip Sessions: 5:57

Yeah, yeah, we all think we're weird to ourselves or how we sound and even how we look. Oh man, I look weird, I sound weird. But after a while, yeah, you do get kind of numb to it. Those first times is really a difficult thing, and I don't want this to feel like I'm harping on this, but for me personally it's hard to relate with people like that. I remember going through some of it, but I don't have these emotions right now. So I really want to be able to pull this out of you. So bear with me as I kind of like keep drilling in on you about this journey and everything.

Philip Sessions: 6:31

And so you said the first day like three, two, one, oh my gosh, what am I going to do? And when we were talking I think, if I remember it was like day six or day seven, it was like right at a week that all of a sudden you went from like man, I'm so nervous I don't know what I'm going to talk about, to Now, all of a sudden, you're like, ah, I'm just going to get on and I'll figure it out as I go along. What do you feel? Was that just that difference from day one to, let's just call it day seven, like literally one week, where you went from oh crap, what am I going to do? Can I even talk for two minutes? To you were doing videos like four or five minutes long, so you were going well over the two minute timeline and you looked way more comfortable by the end of the 30 days. But within that seven days, what was going on in your mind? To just get on that video live and just start talking?

Patrick Storey: 7:19

I mean. So I told my wife, you know, when we were doing it I was like, hey, I'm going to every day I have to get on this. And yeah, by day seven, I think just the consistency of doing it, it became easier and easier. I mean I don't know really emotion wise, it was just the anxiety went away the more I did it.

Patrick Storey: 7:40

And two you know, I didn't really care about what I was going to say the first couple of times. I was like, okay, what if it's just awkward silence and I'm just sitting there? You know, like that's kind of what I was worried about. And then I just started, you know, just talking about life and talking about, I don't know, sports and just stupid stuff. But it just became easier and easier and it was like, okay, this is not that hard, and every now and then I'd get someone actually on the live, like commenting. So I got to kind of interact with them and so just kind of like.

Patrick Storey: 8:18

And two after a couple of weeks or a couple of days, I actually had people here locally give me encouragement, which was really nice, like they're like, oh, I like your lives, whatever. It's cool to see. And I was just like, oh, like people are actually seeing this, you know, and so it was just more and more encouraging, really, and so that's why to the podcast, I think it's going to be a great thing here coming soon, and so it's just exciting to see that people are actually engaging and actually liking what I have to say.

Philip Sessions: 8:53

So yeah, and that's so cool to see. I know that's a nerve wracking thing when you get on a live video and you're like all right, so I'm here live but nobody's actually paying attention or they're. I'm just sitting here talking to literally myself, and it is a different feeling and a different aspect because you're thinking that somebody's probably on the other side literally watching right now, versus a pre recorded video You're not necessarily thinking about, you're talking to yourself, because it's not necessarily a conversation, because it's just pre recorded but you're on that live. It definitely is a different thing.

Philip Sessions: 9:26

And but that's also really cool that people in person were like oh, I love your live and I've noticed that a lot of times that I'll have people I mean not a lot of times, but there's definitely been times where people are like man, I really like your videos, keep it up and they keep encouraging me, but I never see them like, I never see them comment, I never see them share. Oh heck, I don't even really see them on social media because they're not really posting, but they're there lurking in the background and was that kind of the same thing for you or these people that were also kind of liking and commenting the live videos?

Patrick Storey: 10:00

No, it was definitely people that weren't like liking it or interacting. It was just random people and they're like oh hey, I saw your lives, I liked them. So yeah, it was kind of interesting that, like that, they don't actually interact with the actual post, but then in real life they are encouraging. It's like that's kind of weird.

Philip Sessions: 10:22

But yeah, yeah, it is a weird aspect, but I mean it's the same thing. I think you'll understand this, being married and everything. But I know my wife all the time I'm thinking she's not noticing things, and not that I'm like trying to sneak around and do something, but it's just I can't even really think of an example right now. It'll be something that maybe I should have done or I could have like even said like oh, I'm going to do this. And then in my mind I'm like, okay, I need to put it off for whatever reason. And then she'll come back and be like, oh, I thought you were going to do that.

Philip Sessions: 10:50

Or let's just call like a diet, like hey, I'm going to go on a diet, although you're on a diet, even though, like I said it passively, didn't really tell like hey, I'm going on a diet, now we're all going on a diet.

Philip Sessions: 11:00

I didn't make it like this big thing, but like she notices those things.

Philip Sessions: 11:04

Or if I do like small little things, like she won't say anything, but when the opportunity comes up she'll say something because she's like she notices these things or these different patterns that I do, and so I feel like, just like in our marriage it's almost the same thing, or it's a similar thing when it comes to online, that people notice those little things that we're doing, even if they don't ever like or comment or anything, and so it's definitely something that we need to to keep in mind as we do these videos.

Philip Sessions: 11:31

And so, for those of you that maybe you're just getting started with your video content, maybe you're concerned about what people think or whatever, just keep putting it out there, people are noticing, people are watching. Even if you're not those popular people that get hundreds of thousands of likes and millions of views on videos or your post or whatever, people are watching, people are paying attention to you, and what I've noticed in Patrick I don't know if you've noticed this yet or not but those people that aren't actually liking and commenting, they're the ones that actually are paying more attention to you than the ones that actually like and comment. Have you noticed that at all?

Patrick Storey: 12:09

Yeah for sure, like I had one of the coaches from the gym that I go to, like it's like, man, I love it, like it's cool to see your lives, whatever, and so, yeah, it's just interesting that you know people that you wouldn't think and like that I have a bunch of people back home in Texas, but just locally, you know. I've had people just reach out and when I see them in person, you know, say something about it. So, yeah, it's, it's kind of funny.

Philip Sessions: 12:40

Yeah, yeah, it definitely become a celebrity, right. Yeah, exactly, so I'm sure this wasn't in the first seven days that that happened, but over like the 30 days. So the first seven, like you, really got more comfortable behind the camera, going live on video. Over the 30 days you had people watching you, saying stuff, even though that they may not have liked or commented on social media, but they were recognizing you and telling you in person. Was there anything else that kind of happened over this 30 days that would be interesting for?

Patrick Storey: 13:09

us to know about. I mean, just like that, I guess getting the equipment for getting the podcast going, it just kind of encouraged me more like that. I've always wanted to, and like that I listen to a bunch of podcasts and so it's just kind of like the last straw. That was kind of like, okay, it's time, like let's do this, you know, and so my brother's in the audio industry and so he kind of gave me some tips on what to look for for the equipment and stuff. But yeah, it was just kind of like okay, once I started doing it, the videos got easier and is like, why am I not doing anything like content wise for the business is like, why not? Like this is stupid, like why am I not? You know, why was I so I don't know, fearful or whatever of producing content? And now it's just kind of like, okay, like it's easy.

Patrick Storey: 14:05

Now it's like the more and more that you do it and so, like that I want to give people value other than just I don't know if you've seen chiropractic stuff on Tik Tok or Instagram or whatever. It's always just like the crack, like the ASMR videos where they just have a mic up and it's like you're not even giving them any value. You know you're just there for the sound, which I mean. Sure it's entertaining, people like to hear it, but I want to produce more than that, you know. So I'm really excited about doing the podcast, whether I'm, by myself, given people value on not necessarily just chiropractic either, just how to deal with stress and, like I said, the becoming vigorous, how to stay strong, healthy and full of energy. So that's kind of the three aspects that we're going to be covering throughout it, whether it's me, by myself or live with someone with the table talk.

Philip Sessions: 15:04

So nice and it's definitely coming along. And Dusty and I were just talking right before recording this podcast and he mentioned about your video the other day where I think you were at Greenville Networking Group where you were presenting and you were mic'd up and you had to. You had your phone propped up and you just took part of that actual presentation and put it on social media. And I'm sure you're going to put other parts on social media later, but that was perfect right there where you're talking about your business a little bit, giving some value there and everything. And I agree that that podcast is really going to be beneficial and so let's, let's dive into that now. So we went through this 30 day challenge. You're like, okay, I'm going to finally do this podcast. You bought all the equipment and now you have this idea for your podcast. So let's break that down how you decided on this idea and then what steps you're taking to move forward on that podcast.

Patrick Storey: 16:47

Yeah, so the idea was just to kind of tie it into the business too, and I wanted, like that, a way to provide people value, and so it just became like and that I wanted to do a kind of almost like a personal brand kind of thing, and that way it also ties into the business, but not necessarily always just talking about chiropractic which is important, right, everyone could use it. So the idea behind it, though, is just, to, like that, just provide people value.

Philip Sessions: 17:23

So you just really want to provide people value with the podcast, which I think is really interesting, because when you think about chiropractic care or let's just I mean going really broad and I know this is more of a wellness thing but like medical care, like you think of these things, you're like well, what kind of value can I technically provide? And, like you mentioned, with the crack videos, where it's like literally somebody popping their back and you hear the sound of that, it's like you're not really providing value, although I would definitely think for you as well, that could be some good content too. Just like, oh man, look at this. Like this person came in, they didn't think anything was wrong and you know we were able to do this.

Philip Sessions: 17:58

And then maybe you, if you explain what some of those pops were I'm sure maybe the louder the pop. Of course I'm ignorant here on this thing, but if the pops louder, that means there maybe there was more tension or something, versus if it was quieter, maybe there was less, I don't know, but that's something you could probably explain in there as well. And as you bring these people in there, like, hey, you know, I'm feeling pretty good, nothing's wrong with me. Well, hey, we did this and this is still what kind of happened and what happened with your body versus somebody who is like their necks off to the side and they're like, yeah, I'm in a lot of pain, like well, clearly they need some help there but you explain those different things.

Philip Sessions: 18:33

But I like that you're you're going in with this podcast and doing that and too often people they don't think of a podcast as something that can be content generating.

Philip Sessions: 18:43

They think of it as like, oh, I'm just going to go in and interview people and that's going to be it. But this will provide business back to you because people will get to know, like and trust you, they'll get to learn about you, they'll get to learn about your guests, but it's just providing them just value time and time again and eventually they will do business with you. So even though it's not directly business related, it can still relate back to the business and that's a lot of what I do with my podcast. I bring people like you on. We talk about different topics that relate back to speaking. That will then eventually or hopefully get them to want to do business with me as well. But going back into the podcast a little bit. So tell us about this idea that you have, because maybe there's somebody listening that is local. They'll be really interested in getting on and sharing some insight from them as they go through your podcast.

Patrick Storey: 19:32

Yeah, so, like I said, it's calling the specific episodes where I interview people is going to be called Table Talk, and if you've ever seen the show the Shop on HBO with, like, lebron James, and they basically like have a bunch of different celebrities and things like that come on and they're like some of them will get their haircut, but some of them are just there to chat and they basically just shoot around and talk about different experiences and things like that. So that's kind of my idea is to have different business owners and things in the area and get on and basically kind of go through some of the things maybe they've gone through and how they can become like that, become vigorous. How can you be more strong, healthy, full of energy? How did you go through stressful situations and then basically adjust them while we're talking? So that's kind of the idea behind it. So if you're in the area and want to get on, I'd love to have you on. Yeah, that's the idea behind it. It's going to be a lot of fun. I think so at least.

Philip Sessions: 20:42

Yeah, oh yeah, I agree, I like the idea. I think it's a great idea. It gets people literally into what you do as a service, and so they get that experience, and then you're having them on to talk about the thing that they love most themselves, talking about themselves. So it's just kind of a win-win situation there, and then a win for you as well, because you get to have a cool conversation with somebody, you get to create content for your audience and everything like that. So I think it's all around when it comes to that, which is just great, and so that's the guest episode, the one where you're recording with somebody. But when it comes to the solo episode, what are you doing there?

Patrick Storey: 21:20

So just similar just providing people different ways to deal with stress, whether that's at home, whether that's at work, like I put up a video the other day about your environment and your like. If you're working from home or at work, like having a clean space and just little tips, you know things that people can use and can, you know, relate to that. You know we just got done moving and being in a new place, like and not being so cooped up in the apartment and not hearing anyone, is just it's so much nicer, like just in my mindset of like it's a lot clearer, I can think more. And so just different things that you can do like at home, like that if you just need to go in and clean up your space, or just little tips to make your life easier.

Philip Sessions: 22:24

I like that. And going back real quick, I know with the live videos we kind of I made the joke with you and then it kind of stuck with a lot of other people and using your last name the story corner and now you're talking about table talk. I think that's awesome. Something else I thought about with that is like the story table. I don't know if that's that is not quite as catchy as table talk, but still just so.

Patrick Storey: 22:45

I thought playing on your last name there, like I'll still have some of the, maybe some of the little videos in the story corner, because it's we still have it. We have like a little egg chair, and so it's still like in the corner. We're still going to have some some story corner.

Philip Sessions: 23:06

Yeah, and I think, even like for behind the scenes for you or something like that, like you can be in your van, because for those that maybe it wasn't that apparent that Patrick actually has a mobile chiropractic practice, so he actually has a van with a table in it, so he comes to your office and everything for that. So this is where this whole table thing comes in here. But I think it'd be kind of cool, like behind the scenes, and that could be maybe like the story table, so you have the table talk for the guest episode and the story table, if you will, for whenever you're actually talking just yourself, maybe, I don't know, just kind of throwing some ideas out there. But that kind of puts us into this new, new, new segment that I'm trying out with different guests, where we actually talk about like different ways you can use your story, use your message, in order to create like better video content or kind of helping you out from a public speaking perspective. So I really want to dive into that.

Philip Sessions: 24:03

So maybe I'll open this up first to you, like what, what thoughts have you been thinking about, and then maybe I can kind of plug in and help you out with figuring out things that may work well for you to help you. And then I'm going to give some of my thoughts as well that could help you perhaps with getting your message out there to more people from a social media perspective, but even like in person perspective. So it was like, yeah, I'll kind of open up to you what, what, what have you been working on to kind of get yourself out in the world, so to speak, to get your business out there in front of people?

Patrick Storey: 24:38

You're talking about, like the podcast part.

Philip Sessions: 24:40

Yeah, podcast videos, whatever it may be. Yeah, so I don't know if there's anything else besides what we've been talking about.

Patrick Storey: 24:46

So obviously I've met you through networking, so I do a lot of that. But the podcast I just posted on my Facebook and just asked people if they wanted to be a part of it and all of a sudden I got like 30 people interested. So like that, I want to be able to interview them and just kind of see what they've been through business wise and giving them an adjustment so that they can if they've never had it or if they've experienced it but haven't had it for me. So being able to basically just giving them some treatment and giving them some tips, or even not necessarily me giving tips, but when I'm interviewing them they can kind of give other people, when they're watching, the tips of how they got through certain situations.

Philip Sessions: 25:40

Yeah, and I do like that concept. I know we've kind of mentioned, talked about that a little bit. I do like that concept and I wonder if there are any kind of questions maybe that you can ask them in particular. I know it's going to be different for every guest, but is there like some particular questions that maybe you could ask that maybe could lead back to helping your audience as well as helping them understand a little bit more about the chiropractic practice or any like these wellness practices that you would kind of implement to help them be able to gain more curiosity of your business?

Patrick Storey: 26:15

Yeah. So I was going to just kind of ask them like how, when they do come up with a stressful situation, like how do they typically kind of take care of themselves, and then that way it could kind of lead into okay, well, you know, if you have some kind of tension built up in your muscle or whatever some people think of like massage or so, that that just kind of leads into okay, you can obviously, with your structural things that are going on, it can help as well. So you can kind of do the two things or not just chiropractic. Right, you can kind of use massage, use chiropractic, use physical therapy use, whether you go to the gym, like how do you deal with a stressful situation?

Philip Sessions: 27:08

basically, Okay, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And then when we think about like partners that you could partner with, like a good referral partner for you, I think that could be something that you do as far as bringing those kind of guests on. So somebody that does massages, somebody that owns a gym, perhaps things of that nature would probably be good for you as well, as that's the one you've thought about going into, or anything.

Patrick Storey: 27:32

Yeah, I already have the coach at the gym that I go to. He's already lined up to get on my podcast. And then, like that, yeah, I need some other personal trainers in the area. I know a couple of them, so, yeah, definitely kind of giving them a spotlight to you of like, okay, how do you know? They obviously deal with people coming in for the first time, kind of similar to your video challenge. Like, how do they address like someone new coming in, where it might be like that, just kind of anxious? The person might feel that, and so how do they make them feel comfortable being in that situation, being a newbie?

Philip Sessions: 28:14

And so yeah, yeah, it makes a lot of sense. So I think that'd be great. So it's not like you're already kind of on the path to do that Definitely. I have a couple of people that come to mind ought to connect you with them. It would be good referral partners there for you that you could bring on the podcast or just even just have a, I guess, a normal conversation, so to speak, maybe not on the table there, but just have a conversation in general about that.

Philip Sessions: 28:38

And then when I think about like content more in person, so this would be good for you like kind of any kind of seminar, so to speak, or some kind of lunch and learn, I think taking those same referral partners and hosting some kind of event it could be for like an hour or two hours, it doesn't have to be anything crazy long could be something that would be really beneficial as well.

Philip Sessions: 29:01

And then really targeting people that are really focused on that wellness and everything. I think that could be something to be really helpful for you from a that'll give you content as well, but also give you that exposure in person, because my belief is, when you build up your local network, when you build up your local presence, it really ends up helping out with your more global or national presence, because you got to have that fan base somewhere, if you will, before you can go further out. So I think doing something like that would be helpful. So when it comes to things like that, I mean, who could you see yourself kind of partnering with to do any kind of talks? Where you're doing those talks in person?

Patrick Storey: 29:42

Yeah, like I've thought about like that doing obviously a gym would be great, but I've thought about like even going to like I know realtors get together like once a month. They usually have meetings where they all kind of get together. So different companies that like that can either have multiple employees, so there's a moving company here that have, you know, gone and treated their employees and just providing them like people when they're, when they have a job environment like that, a culture, and the employer wants to kind of give back to their employees like they want to stay there. You know, the last time I went and they were like when are you going to be back, you know. So just different companies that, like that, have monthly meetings maybe, or where they all kind of meet together or like that, and just like, like that, a lunch and learn with a medical, different kind of medical office, so like a dental office, things like that, that, like that a mobile, so it's the people that can't necessarily leave the office. So providing them like treatment.

Philip Sessions: 30:55

Yeah, I think those are also great places for you to try and get partnered with and everything. But I think even if you got in with somebody, it does like physical therapy or something like that, and you all did like a wellness seminar, if you will together, I think would be a great way for you both to be able to bring in your own audiences. So that's why you're kind of cross collaborating there, or you're collaborating and you're you're crossing the audiences as well. So they're both kind of similar backgrounds, but they know one person or the other. But you can do those lunch and learns to help bring them in so they get to know each of you as well and you don't necessarily always have to give that free alignment or that free adjustment or anything like that. It could just be giving that information.

Philip Sessions: 31:37

So I think that's a great way for you to be able to get your name out there and which really goes into that public speaking. And so now I want to kind of shift here a little bit, going back a little bit to what we talked about at the beginning, because you've clearly had this huge transformation, like you mentioned about being scared to death. You finally just doing the videos and now you're starting out the podcast. You're already talking about ways that you can get in front of people and do these things. What would you tell the person that was maybe in your shoes, that was procrastinating and didn't really want to take that step into their speaking journey? What is some advice that you'd give them?

Patrick Storey: 32:17

I mean really just do it. I know it sounds like oh yeah, sure, that's. Everyone just says do it. But I mean the more that you just consistently are doing it, the easier it gets. Yeah, I was anxious, you know, but the more and more I did it, the easier it became. And to like, who's really? I mean, yeah, people are watching, but who really? I mean who cares? We're not in high school anymore, right? Gary Vee always says it's like we're not in high school anymore. Who cares? Just do it, do it.

Patrick Storey: 32:52

For, like, if you want to do it, do something that you're passionate about or that you, that you want to do.

Patrick Storey: 33:00

And who cares what other people think you know? So I know it's easier said than done, but you know, just stop thinking that people are out to make fun of you or whatever it's like People probably aren't even really, if anything, they're not even really listening or if they are. So what you know and it's helped me just confidence wise to and just like that, just consistently doing it has made me more confident in person. To like when I'm at these networking events and things, just talking there I feel more comfortable, which is actually kind of. I was going to tell you that the other day was like so weird that getting on video on a platform where you don't see anyone, right that I was fine in person, but being on camera where you see yourself and hear yourself, it was mind- boggling to me as like what, and then so getting on and being consistent became easier and more I was more confident speaking and so now in person I feel even more comfortable. So it's just interesting that doing videos can help your confidence elsewhere.

Philip Sessions: 34:11

Yeah, and I'm glad you mentioned that it especially the just do it thing, and that's the hardest thing to hear and it's like, really I want some actual, tangible advice. But at the end of the day, if you don't do something, if you don't take some kind of action, how do you know what you need to work on? And so that's what I would add to that and that's something I've had to learn to think about to be able to say that. Because, yeah, when I was told about doing my first podcast, just start, just do it. And then, okay, here's a couple things you can do and while they were helpful, at the end of the day it still came down to I had to take action. And when you do take that action, then you can learn like, hey, here's what I didn't do so well, here's what I can do better, or here's what I really liked, here's what I didn't like. But you don't know any of that until you start taking that action.

Philip Sessions: 35:02

And yeah, patrick, I've noticed that in you just to kind of give you that recognition there that you have gotten more confident in person. You've gotten more confident on video as well, and that's really cool. I appreciate you bringing out that insight that you doing that video helped you with your confidence in person and I had never really thought about how that could possibly help. I mean, I guess I tell people to do that because, just inherently, you talking more and more is going to make you more confident. But it is interesting because I know you've had opportunities and you do out here network, so you are talking in person where some of my clients I don't really know them personally as far as like in person. I do know them from social media, but I don't know their background outside of social media and the conversations that we've had but I've seen you talking in person. So it's interesting to see that you doing videos and helping you in person as well, although I have noticed the transformation there. So that's really cool.

Philip Sessions: 35:59

And so for those of you in the audience that you're afraid you're a little scared, start with that video. Like Patrick said, yeah, it's kind of weird. You're looking at yourself in this camera and you can see yourself, you can hear yourself. Nobody's responding back and so even if they do or don't comment on social media, and especially if they comment something negative, that's somebody you don't want in the first place. But most people are going to be encouraging, especially when you're starting out, unless you're being super arrogant. Then you got a whole another situation there, but we won't get into that, that portion of that. But yeah, it's really cool to see just how you've transformed over really last like 45 days, which has been really cool. So but, patrick, let's get on to our last segment here, and that is if you could only share one message for the rest of your life, what would that message be?

Patrick Storey: 36:48

Just recently, just with everything that we've been through like going through the move and I just right now I was just gratitude is the biggest flex, so I love being grateful for not just thankful but truly grateful. There's just so much value to that and so, yeah, just be grateful. There are people there elsewhere that wish they were in your shoes. So, yeah, be grateful.

Philip Sessions: 37:21

Gratitude is the biggest flex. I like that. That's going to catch you there. But, yeah, definitely we have to have gratitude and everything, and I'm very grateful that you came on the podcast to share your journey. I think it's really cool and this is something you'll be able to go back and look upon here in one, two, three years from now and be like, wow, I had that transformation like that. But, man, how much further I've came along. So it's going to be really cool to continue to watch you. But if people want to watch your journey, if they want to get to know more about you, patrick, where's the best place for them to reach out and follow you?

Patrick Storey: 37:58

So any of my social media is under my name, patrick A Story. Story is spelled S-T-O-R-E-Y, which I'm sure you'll have in the notes there. But Patrick A Story. And then my chiropractic is Vigor chiro V-I-G-O-R, chiro C-H-I-R-O. So any of those platforms I'm on all of them. That's me.

Philip Sessions: 38:22

All right, great. Well, patrick, thank you again for coming on the podcast. This has been awesome and we can't wait to see your journey more. And for those of you that are thinking about doing something, thinking about starting to speak, just go speak now, because your message matters.
